Chapter 817: Divine Venomous Poison
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
At the same time they were in discussion, another barrier of the outside defense was destroyed. The defenses of the Hundred Lane Clan were not just built by nobody. Although their few thousand years of foundation could not be compared to those tens and thousands of years of inheritance, the defenses of this clan had been tossed through countless storms. Many Transformation Supreme Dao elite warriors were helpless before the mountain formation. These instances were recorded in their family historical records.
However today, how could the defense of the clan collapse with the first blow?
Inwardly, there was an extremely uneasy thought inside Bai Lifeng and the others. The enemy that was at their door was too terrifying. He was much more terrifying than the strongest enemy the Hundred Lane Clan had ever met in history!
Only the last barrier remained. Although it was the strongest one, with the enemy’s momentum, regardless of its formidable power, it would be incapable of changing the current situation of the entire Hundred Lane Clan of being tossed aside.
“This is your last chance. After I break this defense, I will let the corpses of the Hundred Lane Clan pile into a mountain and let the blood of your clan flow like a river!” Qin Wushuang’s voice sounded like a murderer from the infernal world that was completely emotionless.
Bai Lifeng’s entire body shook and fear was in his eyes. He looked at the sky and mumbled to himself, “Could it be that the gods want to destroy me? I am only one step away from the Supreme Dao Stage, yet I am facing such situation. Just which elite warrior has the Hundred Lane Clan offended?”
The other elders also revealed an unsightly face. One of the Elders with an unyielding character roared, “Head Elder, at this moment, you are still worrying about your personal gains and losses? The crisis of the clan is at this very moment. You, being the Head Elder, enjoy all the benefits during usual times, but now you don’t assume the slightest responsibility?”
When the first one exploded, the anger inside the other elders was also ignited all of a sudden. “Yes, Head Elder, no one said anything when you were being an arm-flinging shopkeeper. At the most crucial moment, you still don’t show anything. How could you shoulder this clan?”
“Everyone respects you as the Head Elder, at this moment, if you are not to present yourself, prepare your apology before the ancestors of the Hundred Lane Clan!”
“Let him be the ostrich, we will go!”
Instantly, the dissatisfaction that these elders had towards the Head Elder exploded. Each of them felt the injustice of the situation as they shot a disapproving look towards Bai Lifeng. All of them rushed to the outside.
Bai Lifeng’s aged face became incredibly vivid as it was rotating from a pale color to a sickly green color. He possessed absolute authority among the group of elders and he had enjoyed the power all this time. He never thought that these elders would dare to act outrageously before him.
Therefore, with this instant explosion, he was incapable of pulling himself together for the time being.
A layer of coldness covered the face of the Head Elder. “Are they all trying to be hot-blooded before me? Alright, since you love to show off yourself, go give away your lives. Let’s see whether Supreme Dao elite warriors are someone you can resist.”
Bai Lifeng was a naturally selfish and ruthless person. At this moment, he was completely absent-minded of how to resist the enemy. Instead, he was pondering when the two Patriarchs could make it back.
At this moment, a violent reaction came from the communication jade plate.
“Head Elder, with a foreign enemy before us, how could you shrink and not go out?” The voice of the Head Patriarch sounded with a sense of urgency.
“Head Patriarch, the formidable power of the enemy is not something the Elder group can resist. If you don’t return, the clan will be in a crisis! In comparison of having the clan masters to initiate such meaningless resistance, we should break up into pieces and use the terrain of our sect to put our own safety as a priority, we need to save our strength! It’s not a smart idea to fight head-on with the enemy.” Bai Lifeng had his own explanation as he continued to arouse emotions to speak. “Our Hundred Lane Clan doesn’t have a rich foundation initially, if all the elders died, who could support the foundation of the clan? Just with you two Patriarchs as the lone commanders, what hope is there for the Hundred Lane Clan?”
These words sounded to be authentic and one could not find a flaw with his logic.
“Bai Lifeng, enough with this nonsense. Even if we are to save our strength, you are at great fault for failing at comforting the elders and allowing a crack to occur. Currently, I am ordering you as the Patriarch to go out and negotiate with the enemy. Regardless of what methods you use, delay the enemy! Wait for us to return. Let all elders come back, you will go!”
“Head Patriarch, you are asking me to give up my own life?” The expression of Bai Lifeng changed abruptly.
“You are the Head Elder, this is your responsibility. Negotiation does not necessarily mean to send yourself to death. Since that person wants to see the person in charge, he certainly has something to say. How can you know that he wants to kill you for sure?” the Head Patriarch questioned with a harsh voice. His tone already sounded incomparably angry.
Bai Lifeng was still hesitating.
The Head Patriarch shouted again, “Bai Lifeng, retreating just before the battle is a disgrace to our clan. If you don’t want your line to have their names erased from the clan, regardless of the reasons you may have, you will carry out this order immediately!”
Bai Lifeng gnashed his teeth, yet he felt helpless. The patriarch threatened him with his line of descendants, this was Bai Lifeng’s weakness.
“Patriarch, alright I will go! If anything happens to me and the clan doesn’t honor my descendants, I will never let this go!” As Bai Lifeng thought he was a veteran of the clan, he also cried out to take advantage of his seniority.
“Humph, you better do your best!”
The voice of the Head Chief held back and already became quiet.
Bai Lifeng even wanted to smash the communication jade plate in his hand into pieces. Feeling extremely depressed, he walked towards the door in large strides. Outside the mountain gate, the last barrier was in imminent danger.
Seven or eight elders stood in a row. All of them held their breath for clearly, they were waiting for this solemn and stirring moment to arrive.
With a flash, Bai Lifeng already dropped before the group of elders. He shouted, “You lot, get inside!”
When those elders saw Bai Lifeng scuttle out, all of them were stunned.
“Don’t you have ears? Get lost!” Bai Lifeng shouted.
The elders looked at each other with dismay. For the time, they were indecisive and were clueless of what Bai Lifeng was trying to pull.
“Ha ha ha! Excellent, is everyone here?” Before the last defense, a yellow figure kept swaying like the cold breeze. Hovering in the sky in spirals, a hazy human figure was forming. The formidable figure kept becoming clear and finally, a vivid living person appeared.
Of course, this person was Qin Wushuang.
He pointed the Heavenly Emperor Sword from his hand forward and initiated the aura of this divine weapon. Instantly, he intimidated the hearts and souls of everyone around. Each of them seemed to have been petrified and a brush of unrestrained fear spilled out of them. They looked at Qin Wushuang, who emerged from nothing into the sky with panic.
This mountain gate formation was this weak?
“Look behind his back! What’s that? Wings?”
“It’s… It’s Qin Wushuang?”
There were too many rumors and topics related to Qin Wushuang inside the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates. Naturally, the reputation of the Purple Cloud Ying Yang Wings was one of his most prominent identifiable characteristics. These wings stood on par with the Heavenly Emperor Wings.
Some rumors even said that Qin Wushuang had three heads and six arms, and an incredibly terrifying figure. There were numerous different versions. However, each version had the statement regarding the Purple Cloud Ying Yang Wings.
Therefore, when they saw Qin Wushuang’s reputable wings, a group of elders from the Hundred Lane Clan realized the light all of a sudden.
Qin Wushuang was not surprised about the reaction of these people at all. A teasing grin spilled from the corner of his mouth. He looked at this group of people with adjudicating eyes.
“Qin Wushuang… What do you want?” Bai Lifeng suppressed the fear from his heart forcefully and asked with a hoarse voice.
“What do you want me to do?” Qin Wushuang narrowed his eyes and a burst of rich murderous intentions kept spreading out.
Bai Lifeng cried out, “When your Qin Clan fights with the King of Hell, the Xin Clan, how could you not make us little ghosts fall to misfortune. If you have the skill, go take your revenge on the Heavenly Emperor Gate. What use is it to come to the Hundred Lane Clan?”
“This way, you feel your Hundred Lane Clan does not shoulder any responsibility?” Qin Wushuang seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world.
“Our Hundred Lane Clan was threatened by the Heavenly Emperor Gate! We were pushed into this situation. Besides, up to this point, our Hundred Lane Clan has not formed any threat to the Qin Clan.” Bai Lifeng quibbled.
“Yes, these words makes sense.” Qin Wushuang said leisurely and suddenly a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. “By the way, do you guys think that you can delay time and when your two Patriarchs are back, everything will be fine?”
These words hammered the hearts of everyone directly like a heavy mallet. It completely shattered their last trace of wishful thinking!
“Qin Wushuang, smart people don’t beat around the bush. Just what do you want?” Bai Lifeng felt incredibly sorrowful. When they were the meat on the chopping block, he was incapable of letting out a vicious word.
“Initially, I never planned to annihilate all of you. However, since you came out before I breached the last barrier, I can consider giving you a chance.”
As soon as he said these words, the expressions of the Hundred Lane Clan elders relaxed. They still had a chance? As long as they did not die on the spot, they could negotiate anything.
“Listen well, it’s correct that your Hundred Lane Clan is threatened by the Heavenly Emperor Gate. However, ten years ago when I attacked the Heavenly Emperor Gate, the Heavenly Punishing Villa and the Sound of Thunder Sect, I did not make a move against your three sects. I was giving you guys a chance, to get back on the right path. Your Hundred Lane Clan, Mysterious Reform Gate, and Thousand Feather Sect, have you ever treasured this chance?”
Ten years ago, indeed Qin Wushuang gave the three major sects the chance. The three great sects did have the thought to back out, yet before the imposing manner of the Heavenly Emperor, in the end they were incapable of backing out.
“This…” For the time, Bai Lifeng was at a loss for words.
“I will not speak any nonsense, you are all the trusted aides of the Hundred Lane Clan. If I am to make a move today, I can instantly kill all of you guys in one round. Take a step back, even if your two great Patriarchs make it back, I can still easily kill them! Unless your Patriarchs have the power at the Peak of the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage, they have no chance of stopping me!”
With a stern look, Qin Wushuang looked around. “Unfortunately, your Head Patriarch is only at the Fifth Calamity of the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage. In my eyes, this power is not even worth mentioning. Before me, it’s unknown whether he could even run away or not.”
All elders shivered with fear, yet as they looked at Qin Wushuang’s imposing manner, it seemed that he was not weaker than the Head Patriarch. They were left in awe of how strong he had become.
“Everyone, please open your eyes, look at me!” It seemed as though Qin Wushuang’s voice was filled with magic. It caused each of these elders to look at Wushuang like puppets on a string.
With this look, instantly everyone seemed to have fallen into a spell. Their entire bodies quivered with cold and bursts of profound lights shot deeply into the space in between their brows. Instantly, their bodies became frozen stiff.
