When the people in the surroundings heard Luoshen Chuan telling them to stop, looks of anger could be seen on their faces.
“Stop? Clan leader, what an imposing bearing. A hegemonic-level world overlord from our Luoshen Clan has just fallen here, Luoshen Lie’s descendants are overwhelmed with sadness yet you, as the clan leader, actually said to stop now? Seems like clan leader is the same as the past, for your own selfish reasons, you don’t mind sacrificing the entire Luoshen Clan.” Someone spoke, directly blaming Luoshen Chuan.
The moment the sound of this voice rang out, even more people stared at Luoshen Chuan angrily. Clearly, there was a reason why these people supported Luoshen Mu. They felt that everything Luoshen Chuan did, had weakened the strength of the clan. They hoped that the Luoshen Clan would have a new leader.
Luoshen Chuan was speechless, he still didn’t try to explain or argue. As the leader of an entire clan, there were many things he needed to bear on his shoulders. However, if he couldn’t even protect his own daughter or his grandchildren, who was he to talk about protecting the entire Luoshen Clan.
The situation now was also something he didn’t wish to see.
Luoshen Mu calmly watched everything. He then walked towards Luoshen Lie’s corpse. He then inclined his head and coldly stared at Qin Wentian, “Since my elder brother has such a good grandson and he is bent on protecting you, in that case, this expert of my Luoshen Clan can only die a useless death.”
After speaking, he waved his hand, “Let the matters here conclude today.”
“Uncle Mu!” Someone called out with unwillingness in his voice.
Many people respectively turned their gazes towards Luoshen Mu, “Can it be that we are going to spare him just like this?”
The ‘him,’ naturally referred to Qin Wentian.
“Quiet.” Luoshen Mu berated. He then continued, “What else do you all want me to do? My elder brother wishes to shield his grandson, what can I do? Should I allow you guys to continue fighting him and sending you to your deaths? This grandson of elder brother, his comprehension towards the dao is so high that most probably, no other world overlords in our Luoshen Clan can contend against him.”
The eyes of everyone flashed. Many people still felt reluctant to accept this but they were shocked after hearing that. They weren’t able to tell how Luoshen Lie died but heavenly deities naturally would be able to. Since Luoshen Mu said Qin Wentian was so powerful, it meant that he was truly extremely strong. There was actually no other world overlords in their Luoshen Clan who could contend against Qin Wentian.
The son of Qin Yuanfeng and Luoshen Qianxue truly did inherit their supreme talent. In fact, the talent of their son seemed to even have surpassed them.
“Do you all wish to see more world overlords of our Luoshen Clan dying?” Luoshen Mu coldly asked. “Let’s go. Make arrangements for Lie’s funeral.”
The hatred in the eyes of many intensified after they heard this when they stared at Qin Wentian. In addition, they also coldly looked at Luoshen Chuan.
Qin Wentian quietly stood there yet he felt like his heart had turned to ice. This Luoshen Mu, what a devious method. He used him to incite the rage of the Luoshen Clansmen, to increase their hostility towards his grandfather Luoshen Chuan. He sensed that everything that happened earlier was orchestrated by Luoshen Mu intentionally. Regardless of Luoshen Lie killing him or he killing Luoshen Lie, the final winner would still be Luoshen Mu.
Many experts left the area. And upon seeing people from the other faction leaving, an old man behind Luoshen Chuan stepped out, “Clan leader, this incident most probably is Luoshen Mu’s scheme.”
Evidently, these old fellows who had much experience, could also tell that this was a scheme.
“I know.” Luoshen Chuan calmly replied. How could Luoshen Chuan not be able to tell? This younger clan brother of his had many cunning plots up his sleeves or he wouldn’t be able to amass so many supporters. For this battle earlier, no matter what was the ending, the one benefiting would only be Luoshen Mu.
“How can those people not see the truth?” Somebody behind raged.
“Those inside the situation would never be able to see things clearly. Luoshen Mu’s actions were simply flawless and even if people could see his intention, they would still choose to support him, albeit silently.” A hegemonic-level world overlord spoke.
“You could have chosen not to kill him. After all, he was also a descendant of the Luoshen Clan.” Luoshen Chuan stared at Qin Wentian.
“If he cared about the fact that I have the Luoshen Clan’s bloodline as well, and the fact that I’m the grandson of the clan leader, he wouldn’t have showed killing intent towards me. Evidently, since he wanted to kill me, it clearly meant that he didn’t have grandfather in his considerations at all, let alone the fact that I have the Luoshen Clan’s bloodline. In order to please Luoshen Mu, he didn’t hesitate to act against someone in your faction ruthlessly. Since this is the case, why should I show mercy?” Qin Wentian calmly replied. In situations where two parties are vying power, things would always be cold and brutal. Showing mercy would only bring trouble upon oneself.
Luoshen Chuan naturally could understand what Qin Wentian was talking about. He fell silent and didn’t reply. After that, he departed the area.
In another location inside the Luoshen Clan, Luoshen Mu and the others gathered together. One young man asked, “Father, are we going to spare him just like that? Can it be Lie is going to die for nothing?”
Luoshen Mu’s eyes flashed with coldness. “Don’t worry, there is value in Lie’s death.”
The young man’s eyes gleamed with sharpness as he stared at his father. He then sighed in his heart, seems like his father has some backup plans. His father said that his Uncle Lie’s death had value to it. Also, his father’s tone was cold. However, wasn’t it inevitable for there to be some sacrifices?
…
Qin Wentian stayed in the Thousand Snow Palace of the Luoshen Clan, the place where his mother used to stay. In here, he felt like he could sense his mother’s presence.
During these days, Qin Wentian would frequently visit his uncle’s residence, accompanying him to chat in some matters. Many of their topics revolved around his mother’s past deeds. Luoshen Lei was naturally there as well. As his uncle told him more stuff about his mother, Qin Wentian’s mental image of his mother also grew clearer.
She was a female heaven chosen from the Luoshen Clan and also had the title of goddess. She was the daughter of the Luoshen Clan Leader and had startling talent in cultivation as well as exceptional beauty. Once, she met Qin Yuanfeng when she was outside tempering herself and his father kept on pestering his mother, chasing her all the way. Their love underwent many trials but in the end, his mother ignored all voices of objection and chose to be with his father Qin Yuanfeng.
This past incident stirred his heart. Most probably, the difficulties his parents faced in getting together far surpassed what he and Qingcheng had to face.
“What are you guys chatting about?” At this moment in Luoshen Yu’s courtyard, a voice drifted over. After that, Luoshen Chuan appeared.
“Father.” Luoshen Yu greeted.
“Grandpa.” Luoshen Lei also called out. Qin Wentian glanced at Luoshen Chuan, he had not appeared here during the past few days. Now that Luoshen Chuan has appeared, it should be because he was looking for him.
“Nothing much, we are just casually chatting.” Luoshen Yu smiled, he didn’t want to mention anything about his younger sister, Luoshen Qianxue, before his father. He was afraid his old man might be sad.
Luoshen Chuan didn’t continue asking. His gaze turned to Qin Wentian, “You have been here for several days, it’s about time for you to leave the Luoshen Clan.”
“Grandpa!” Luoshen Lei’s beautiful eyes stiffened. “Elder brother has only stayed here for a few days.”
She didn’t understand why her grandpa want to chase her elder brother away. She could sense that in her grandpa’s heart, he did dote on this grandson. If not, he wouldn’t have asked Qin Wentian to pay the Luoshen Clan a visit just to meet with him.
Qin Wentian looked at Luoshen Chuan, he had already faintly guessed at the reason why. After that, he nodded, “Alright, I shall leave immediately.”
Right now, his identity was known to everyone. Also, the situation within the clan was getting increasingly tense. His grandfather, Luoshen Chuan, wanted him to leave as it would be for the best.
“Don’t need to be in such a rush. You can leave tomorrow morning, as for today, let Lei`er accompany you to visit the famous places in the Luoshen Clan.” Luoshen Chuan sighed. Qin Wentian stared at the calmness in his grandfather’s eyes as he nodded his head lightly.
“Don’t get into any more conflicts with anyone if you can.” Luoshen Chuan reminded before turning around to leave. After he left, Luoshen Yu sighed, “Wentian, don’t blame your grandfather. Right now, you should have already seen the current situation in our Luoshen Clan. It’s very difficult on him as well.”
“Don’t worry uncle, I can fully understand that.” Qin Wentian nodded. He could sense many things in his heart, the current him was no longer the impulsive young man from back then. He was already a character that was near the peak. With just one more step, he would be able to enter the heavenly deity realm.
“Elder brother..” Luoshen Lei’s beautiful eyes flashed with a faint sense of disappointment. It has only been a short period of time yet her elder brother was already going to leave.
“Lei`er, we will surely have more chances to frequently meet in the future.” Qin Wentian laughed and tousled her hair.
“Mhm.” Luoshen Lei nodded, she could only console herself in this way.
…
During the second morning, there was a gentle breeze on the Luoshen Mountain and it felt very comfortable. Qin Wentian came to Luoshen Yu’s place to bid farewell and was preparing to leave. Luoshen Lei was here but Luoshen Chuan wasn’t present.
“Lei`er, I will leave first. Will you miss me?” Little Rascal, who was sitting on Qin Wentian’s shoulder, spoke in a child-like voice. Luoshen Lei who was initially feeling somewhat sad, suddenly laughed at this comical scene. She laughed, “I naturally will.”
“Boohoo, I will miss you too.” Little Rascal leapt into Luoshen Lei’s embrace. Qin Wentian had to pull him by his tail and drag him back. This fellow is truly too shameless, he cannot allow Little Rascal to have such behavior.
“Elder brother, where are you preparing to go to?” Luoshen Lei asked.
“I still have no concrete plans yet. Maybe I will roam the Desolate Region.” Qin Wentian gave a carefree laugh.
“Okay then, contact me after you arrive at wherever you want to go. I’ll go look for you after that.” Luoshen Lei revealed a mischievous smile. Qin Wentian rolled his eyes. Now, if she chose to follow him around, things would be very dangerous for her.
“I’m leaving then.” Qin Wentian also felt some sadness in his heart. He stared at everything here, his uncle, his younger sister, truly feeling a reluctance to leave.
“Mhm.” Although Luoshen Lei was sad, she still managed to smile in a beautiful manner.
“Take care of yourself, be more cautious in everything that you do.” Luoshen Yu reminded. Qin Wentian nodded, after that, he turned around and departed the area.
However, at the instant he stepped out of the courtyard, a voice rang out thunderously in the air, “Who dares to barge into our Luoshen Clan?”
This voice was as explosive as thunder, ringing out loud through the air of the Luoshen Mountain, reverberating through a thousand miles, shocking many people of the Luoshen Clan. This was a warning that a very powerful expert had just barged into the Luoshen Clan.
Numerous figures flashed, flying up into the air. Qin Wentian’s steps halted. Luoshen Lei and Luoshen Yu both furrowed their brows.
“Qin Zhong from the Qin Clan is here to pay a visit to the Luoshen Clan.” At this moment, a resounding voice rang out in reply. The words spoken caused the hearts of Qin Wentian, Luoshen Yu and Luoshen Lei to tremble.
Qin Zhong of the Qin Clan, a deity-level expert was here to pay a visit to the Luoshen Clan?
RUMBLE~ The entire space seemed to shudder. Qin Zhong walked up the Luoshen Mountain, radiating waves of heavenly might with every step.
Luoshen Chuan also appeared in the air. His gaze was ice-cold, as he radiated a glacial intent. A heavenly deity from the Qin Clan came to the Luoshen Clan at such a time? The meaning behind this was self-evident.
However, the news about Qin Wentian being in the Luoshen Clan was only known by the people in the clan. This indicated that somebody actually informed the mortal enemy of their clan – the Qin Clan, about this.
He wanted Qin Wentian to leave here because he wanted to be cautious. However, in his heart, he still didn’t really believe that this news was leaked by the Luoshen Clan to the Qin Clan despite their internal warfare. The other faction of the Luoshen Clan should know the boundaries, right? But evidently, he was wrong!
