“Here…” There emerged Li Buyi’s distinct voice next to his ears. As Qin Wushuang opened his eyes, he saw that he was already within a marvelous celestial mountain. The flying red-crown swans and the climbing of the divine monkeys had displayed a harmonious, yet beautiful celestial environment.
As Qin Wushuang was within this environment, for a time he felt somewhat oblivious.
“We are already at the Karakorum Immortal Clan, no one would dare to chase and kill you: don’t worry and go in.” Suddenly, Qin Wushuang’s spiritual perception felt a stir as he awakened abruptly.
When he looked around again, Li Buyi had long disappeared.
Qin Wushuang half believed him and stepped on the stone steps of the mountain road. Next on each side of the verdant dark green ancient path, there were many forms of verdant luxurious green flowers and trees. The serene, yet beautiful scene could make one mesmerized.
As Qin Wushuang felt the marvelous fairyland, for a time he almost forgot about his personal gains and losses. Suddenly, he was enlightened of his own situation. He withdrew his mind of the wild chargers and stepped to move towards the upper level of the stone steps.
After taking a few steps, a martial artist with a complexion as handsome as ornamental jade, dressed in Daoist temple clothing flashed to appear. “Friend, may I ask which sect you are from?”
Qin Wushuang said, “I am a disciple of the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates.”
“The Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates are among the invited. Please!” The martial artist did not even ask for further identification as he guided Qin Wushuang to go in directly.
After passing the stone stairs, the stone bridge, and in between the extravagant cloud and fog mist, finally he had arrived to a group of building which emitted an ancient presence.
Although the main building was grand, it was not as majestic as the secular palaces. On the contrary, it had emitted a sense of aloof and supreme height that had exceeded the rules of the secular world.
It was rumored that the totem clan were all hidden sects from the world. They had seen through all the false reputations of the secular world. If it weren’t for major matters, they would almost never get involved with foreign affairs.
This Karakorum Immortal Clan of the Illusion Heavenly Lake was like the Xuan Yuan Clan within the Xuan Yuan Mound as it belonged to a hidden sect and ruled the entire Illusion Heavenly Lake behind the scene.
After Qin Wushuang had walked past the main palace, soon he was guided to the guest palace houses where people of the Qin Clan had settled down. When Qin Yunran saw the arrival of Qin Wushuang, clearly he was greatly surprised.
“Wushuang, how come you are here?” Qin Yunran immediately asked.
“Second Chief, I am here.”
As Qin Yunran had asked strangely, Qin Wushuang also gave an ambiguous answer. Both laughed and Qin Yunran said, “It’s good that you are here. At the Karakorum Immortal Clan, even if these powerhouses want to seize the house of burning fire, they would not dare to act outrageously before the totem clan!”
Qin Yunran was deliberately comforting Qin Wushuang. In fact, he hoped Qin Wushuang could return to the Xuan Yuan Mound Aspiring Throne Mountain. Yet since he’s already here, of course Qin Yunran could not speak of anything else.
Qin Wushuang gave a long sigh. “Second Chief, that Xin Wuji was being endlessly troublesome, I killed him.”
As soon as he spoke these words, Qin Yunran’s expression had instantly turned incredibly strange. He looked at Qin Wushuang with disbelief and could not speak a word.
“Xin Wuji, you killed him?” Qin Yunran forcefully suppressed the excitement inside his heart and asked.
“He was forced into a dead end and used self-destruction to die.” Qin Wushuang described the battle scene at that time.
Qin Yunran gave a long sigh and praised him, “Wushuang, it seems no one of the Heavenly Emperor Mountain in the young generation can resist your strength and talent! Good, great!”
Yet, Qin Wushuang said, “With the death of Xin Wuji, I am afraid the Heavenly Emperor Xin Clan will make big moves against us, our Qin Clan must be ready to protect itself.”
Qin Yunran also nodded silently. “Wushuang, you are right. To the Xin Clan, Xin Wuji was the big hope for their future. If this hope has been destroyed, with the madness of the Xin Clan, we must guard against it!”
“Second Chief, these are the two Supreme Dao Fruits. I thought that it would not be as safe for me to keep it than you.” Qin Wushuang was about to give the Supreme Dao Fruits to Qin Yunran.
Qin Yunran waved his hand. “Wushuang, for this Supreme Dao Fruit, it was your own fortune. It’s okay to not hand it over. Besides, now you are able to kill Xin Wuji, although you have not entered the Supreme Dao Stage, you are not far from it. You are also counted as a core member of the Qin Clan. As for how to distribute this Supreme Dao Fruit, do it with your free will.”
“I am still willing to contribute this Supreme Dao Fruit and to share the burden for the great deeds of the Qin Clan. I also remember how the Third Chief once said that if I can make major contributions for the Qin Clan, my ancestor Qin Yu will be allowed to return to the mountain and have his body buried at the Sacrificial Valley!”
Having one buried at the Sacrificial Valley would be the best recognition to the disciples of the Qin Clan. It was also the unfulfilled wish of Qin Yu. Ever since Qin Wushuang had entered the Qin Clan and saw the burial ceremony of Qin Shixun, he was determined. Regardless, he must let the remains of the Qin ancestor to return to the Heavenly Emperor Mountain and get buried at the Sacrificial Valley.
Qin Yunran laughed. “One Supreme Dao Fruit means one Supreme Dao elite warrior. This contribution is indeed, big. However Wushuang, for this fruit, the Qin Clan cannot take it all. This way, you keep one for your own distribution and give the other one to the Qin headquarters. How about it?”
Qin Wushuang knew that the Second Chief was taking care of him for he did not wish to rob all the benefits. At this moment, he did not step back and only said, “Ok, I will listen to you.”
Just when he was about to take out the Supreme Dao Fruit, Qin Yunran made a hand gesture to motion him not to move. He raised his eyebrow slightly and after having verified that no one was in their surroundings, he said, “Wushuang, we are at the Karakorum Immortal Clan, don’t take out the Supreme Dao Fruit. For this matter, let’s talk about it at the Aspiring Throne Mountain. Those goods will be kept at your place. I trust that you can certainly protect them.”
After he had finished, Qin Yunran laughed. “Taichong and the others are viewing the scenery everywhere at the Karakorum Immortal Clan. They are taking in the charm of the totem clan. Wushuang, don’t be afraid, go walk around if you want to. No one would dare to cause trouble at the holy totem clan, unless they have a death wish.”
…
After three days, a group of disciples of the Emei Daoist Sect had finally rushed to arrive at the Karakorum Immortal Clan. The Emei Daoist Sect claimed to be the number one existence beneath the Illusion Heavenly Lake totem clan.
Ruo Can Fairy lead a group of disciples to arrive at the Karakorum Immortal Clan in an embarrassing state.
The Emei Daoist Sect had three major Chiefs and they were Miao Feng, Miao Yun and Miao Yu. They were referred to as the three Emei Female Celestial beings. That woman dressed in palace clothing that had humiliated Qin Wushuang at the Bowl Valley was in fact, Second Female Celestial Miao Yun. She was ranked at number two in the sect. Yet, she was not much lesser than Miao Feng in terms of strength.
Miao Feng had a rather quiet personality and was the kind that would train hard. She rarely went after the secular affairs within the sect. Therefore, inside the Emei Daoist Sect, it was the Second Chief, Miao Yun that held the greatest authority and the greatest amount of supporters.
This Miao Yun Female Celestial had a strange and acerbity personality. She despised all men in the world and possessed many devilish attributes within her personality. It was this cause that this Miao Yun Female Celestial had left people a horrible impression. In the outside world, many male martial artists had viewed this Miao Yun Female Celestial as the old female fatale existence.
When Miao Yun saw Ruo Can Fairy bringing her subordinates to run back in an embarrassing state, she was already somewhat unhappy inwardly. She asked while frowning, “Little Can, other disciples of the other sects have always come at ease and left unrestrained. You are in such a rush, could it be you have no idea what is means to be a disciple of the Emei Daoist Sect? Each of your movements have represented the Emei Daoist Sect. Could it be that before the totem clan, you could perform better?”
This Miao Yun, without asking what was right or wrong had reproached the first instant.
Ruo Can Fairy felt incredibly grieved. “Teacher, things have happened at the Ten Thousand Flower Valley, I almost could not come here to inform you of the situation.”
“Yes, you’ve filled me in through the communication jade plate. Don’t find all these excuses. A failure is a failure! Regardless of the reasons or excuses, it cannot deny the fact that you let that person steal the Supreme Dao Fruit! Where is your Senior Sister? Still no news?”
Ruo Can fairy was initially that Little Can dressed in black. At the same time, she was that “close female acquaintance” that Jiu Fang Yunfei had to bear in mind constantly. Now, she felt incredibly wronged.
For this matter, from beginning to end, she felt that she did not hold too much responsibility. The one that had ruined this matter was Senior Sister and Junior Sister. It had nothing to do with her.
However, the one getting the reproach was her. Of course, she felt incredibly wronged.
Upon hearing teacher asking about Ruo Ping Fairy, she said with an annoyed tone, “After the defenses had been activated, Senior Sister went out to chase that fruit thief. Earlier we made contact, yet ever since she said that Xin Wuji got killed, there was no more news. Great Tiger Saint also went over and it seems he had no more news either.”
Female Celestial Miao Yun was greatly angered. “What is this Ruo Ping doing?”
“The same thing goes for Tiger Saint, I have no idea where he went. Regardless of how I tried to contact him, there was no news.”
Little Can dropped her head and did not say anything. Anyways, no matter what she says, she would serve as a vent to her teacher’s anger. It would be better to not say anything.
“Little Can, the one that initiated the defenses, in the end was it your Senior Sister or your Junior Sister?” this Female Celestial Miao Yun asked with a stern expression and loud voice.
“Senior Sister said it was Junior Sister and she did not deny it. Yet in the past few days, Senior Sister was being incredibly mysterious. I feel she was hiding something,” Little Can whispered.
The expression of Female Celestial Miao Yun appeared to be incredibly discontent. With her unhappy face and due to having put up a stern expression for a long period of time, it had caused a rather not too ugly looking face and all her facial expressions to be twisted. It had caused the expression of this woman to appear somewhat hideous.
“Go now, tell Ruolan to see me!”
“Yes.” Feeling joyful inwardly, Little Can turned around to walk outside. In a moment, Shui Ruolan walked in and said with a low voice, “Teacher.”
A burst of sharp light shone out from Female Celestial Miao Yun’s eyes suddenly. “You still have the face to call me teacher?”
Shui Ruolan’s face had appeared somewhat pale. She bit her lips lightly and raised the corner of her mouth slightly, as if showing a trace of unnoticeable stubborness.
“Tel me, did you let that fruit thief go?”
Shui Ruolan’s gaze had appeared like clear water. Under her teacher’s interrogating eye, in the end, she did not deny it. Without speaking, she only gave a slight nod.
“He is called Qin Wushuang?” Female Celestial Miao Yun forcefully suppressed her anger. If it were any other disciple, perhaps Miao Yun would have killed her with one palm under extreme anger.
Shui Ruolan still nodded and did not deny this fact.
The ghastly evil intentions on the face of Female Celestial Miao Yun had become stronger. She asked with a low voice, “It’s that kid we meet at the Bowl Valley, correct?”
Shui Ruolan still nodded and did not deny the fact.
Suddenly, murderous intentions flashed madly through Miao Yun’s eyes. “Shui Ruolan, you’ve truly disappointed me, you really disappointed me! Why, I nurtured you so well, yet you still betray me?”
“I did not betray you.” Shui Ruolan shook her head stubbornly. “I also did not leave with him, however I did not want him to die in the mouth of the great divine beast. I also did not want any more innocents to die miserably.”
“So, you open the Supreme Dao defenses of the Ten Thousand Flower Valley and let go those stinking men?” Female Celestial Miao Yun was already on the verge of exploding. As soon as Shui Ruolan had given an improper answer, perhaps her next moment would be the time Miao Yun would lash out her next move!
