Inside the divine palace of the Heavenly Emperor Gate, the Heavenly Emperor sat high in position. Next to him, they were the three younger brothers of Xin Tianwen. They were also the other three great Supreme Dao elite warriors at the Heavenly Emperor Gate.
For these three Supreme Dao elite warriors, besides Xin Tianchen, the royal brother, there was also Xin Tianchong, the youngest one, and the only female martial artist, Xin Tianwu.
These four Supreme Dao elite warriors were sitting in the host’s position.
Five people were sitting in the guest positions, they were also Supreme Dao elite warriors!
The two from the Heavenly Punishing Villa were Yan Beifei, the Head Suzerain and Yan Guinan, the Second Suzerain. These were two brothers born to the same mother. They were ruling the Heavenly Punishing Villa together and were a strange two combination among the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates.
Clearly, Yan Beifei’s strength was above Yan Guinan’s strength!
The situation at the Sound of Thunder Sect was almost the same. There was the Head Suzerain Lei Yue and Second Suzerain Lei Ming. Lei Yue’s strength was almost on par with Yan Beifei’s. Naturally, he was more powerful than Lei Ming and Yan Guinan.
The remaining person was Luo Tongtian of the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect! Currently, Luo Tongtian had already learned about the death of Tian Mingshan and his two major Shakyamuni.
Luo Tongtian, with blazing anger, had really focused on breaking through to the Supreme Dao Stage to become a new Supreme Dao elite warrior of the sect.
With this breakthrough, it immediately allowed Luo Tongtian’s position to rise with the tide. He was able to become a guest with the Heavenly Emperor and sit together with many of the Supreme Dao elite warriors.
Although Luo Tongtian’s position was no higher than the others, at least this was an upgrade for him. After he had become a Supreme Dao elite warrior, he was qualified to fight on equal grounds with the Supreme Dao elite warriors of the Heavenly Punishing Villa and the Sound of Thunder Sect.
Although he was lesser in terms of temperament, he already possessed this qualification.
Xin Tianwen, the Heavenly Emperor was expressionless. He sat there in good posture as if a statue. Being in a high position for so long allowed him to give off a proud and prestigious air without having to show any anger or power. He created a sense of awe in his people.
Before the Heavenly Emperor, the guests did not dare to act too recklessly. Instead, they sat down obediently.
Xin Tianchen had become like a representative of the Heavenly Emperor as he slowly spoke, “Everyone, there are no outsiders here, so I will speak openly. For this Illusion Heavenly Lake trip, all of the four powerhouses here are victims! From my Heavenly Emperor Gate, two exceptional disciples have died and we have come back empty-handed, as we didn’t get a spot in the top ten. Being the leader of the Heavenly Emperor Mountain in the Xuan Yuan Mound, to my Xin Clan, this result is disastrous.”
When he said this, the muscle on Xin Tianchen’s face trembled. He swept across the entire scene with fierce eyes stopping at each face of those five guests.
“And you guys… you have also failed. Yan Qiansui and Lei Hong, to the Heavenly Punishing Villa and Sound of Thunder Sect, they are also exceptional people. Previously, you’ve already suffered in Qin Wushuang’s hands at the Floating Snow House. Qin Wushuang also took that Supreme Dao weapon from you. Most importantly, for the grudges between your houses and the Qin Clan, it’s destined for you not be able to live in peace with the Qin Clan.”
“The conflicts with the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect go without mention… With the new and old grudges adding together, Daoist Warrior Luo must want to kill Qin Wushuang more than any of us. You must want to tear him apart!”
When those five heard the words from Xin Tianchen, they all nodded with a grave expression. Up to this point, none of them had any restraints. Since they were all on the same boat, one would not separate the words of two different houses.
Xin Tianchen grabbed everyone’s attention and continued to speak, “If it were the Qin Clan from a few years ago, there would be no need for the three of you guys to extend your hand, the power of the Xin Clan would be enough to deal with them.”
“Yet today, the situation is different. What is the change? Do you know?” Xin Tianchen asked coldly.
“Of course it would be the Supreme Dao Fruit,” Lei Ming had not been ambiguous and said first.
“The Qin Clan has acquired three Supreme Dao Fruit, now they would be so proud,” Luo Tongtian also said with endless hatred. In terms of resentment towards the Qin Clan, Luo Tongtian had reached the stage in which he could not live under the same sky with them.
“No, the Qin Clan has more than three Supreme Dao Fruit!” Xin Tianchen shook his head with determination. “They have five Supreme Dao Fruit in total.”
“Five?” Luo Tongtian was dumbstruck.
“That’s right, five! Qin Wushuang seized the accompanying Supreme Dao Fruit of that divine beast from the Emei Daoist Sect. Wuji has seen this with his own eyes. This matter can be verified!”
Luo Tongtian’s complexion was incredibly unpleasant. He kept mumbling as if he was swearing with a low voice. A murderous look lingered in his eyes.
Since the Qin Clan was getting so lucky, Luo Tongtian was definitely feeling the unequal treatment.
On the contrary, Yan Beifei said with a calm and collected tone, “Daoist Luo, at this moment, you must remain calm. The more angered you are, the happier the Qin Clan will be. With the Heavenly Emperor here, he will make the decision for us. We just need to follow him and the truth will reveal itself.”
On the surface, Yan Beifei was advising Luo Tongtian, yet he had flattered Xin Tianwen invisibly. He had done this cleverly which sounded comfortable.
Luo Tongtian nodded and gave a mumbled sigh. “Whenever I think of how that kid destroyed my Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect and how only me and Fourth are left among the four Daoist Warriors, my anger cannot be discreet.”
Xin Tianchen waved his hand. “Daoist Warrior Luo, just by yourself, even if you hold the greatest anger, you cannot be an enemy with the Qin Clan on your own.”
Lei Yue of the Sound of Thunder Sect suddenly asked, “Your majesty, Brother Tianchen is there any news on Wuji?”
Xin Tianchen was stunned and then said, “Wuji is not dead, however for now, he will not appear. I only want to tell everyone that Wuji will surely appear with a more powerful appearance!”
“Oh, that would be good! Since Prince Wuji is the outstanding one among the younger generation of the Heavenly Emperor Mountain, as he was overthrown by that Qin Wushuang, certainly the day to seek revenge will come.”
Heavenly Emperor Xin Tianwen gave a slight sneer, “The chance of seeking revenge with his own hands? I am afraid we cannot wait until then. Everyone, I have summoned you here to not just talk about the awful situation!”
“Please instruct us.” The five agreed while having judged the situation accordingly.
“Tianchen, speak only of what’s important.”
Xin Tianchen nodded and said with a serious tone, “Everyone, to put it simply, the more prosperous the Qin Clan gets, to you and me, the more disastrous it will be. My Xin Clan aspires to serve another term in the Heavenly Emperor Election that is in sixteen years. Initially, both the Qin Clan and Yun Clan have one less Supreme Dao warriors. It would not be a huge problem for the Xin Clan to continue. But, now the Qin Clan has acquired five Supreme Dao Fruit. The situation is taking a sudden turn…”
The five of them felt apprehensive inwardly and knew that Xin Tianchen was not speaking frightening words to scare people. They held their breath and allowed Xin Tianchen to continue to speak.
“Yun Clan, within the next sixteen years, there will not be any changes with them. However for the Qin Clan, if we give them sixteen years, certainly they will have a few more Supreme Dao elite warriors. By that time, the situation during the Heavenly Emperor election would change greatly. Once the Xin Clan loses the position as the Heavenly Emperor, the Heavenly Punishing Villa and the Sound of Thunder Sect will certainly not escape from the fate of getting censured out of the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates! For the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect, most likely you will get pulled up by the roots. If the three of us wait for the Qin Clan to seize the Heavenly Emperor position, I am afraid that it’s even possible for our names to be removed from the Xuan Yuan Mound.”
“Everyone, do you think I am intimidating you with empty words?” Xin Tianchen asked lightly.
The five warriors looked at each other in dismay and there were a few traces of flurried intentions in their eyes. If they had allowed the Qin Clan to seize power, per their hostile relationship with the Qin Clan and all these years and battles, they would surely be oppressed by them.
If the Qin Clan truly wanted to retaliate, it would be possible to even destroy their sect!
Thinking here, these five all trembled with fear.
“Your majesty, I, Lei Ming do not know what to say. The three of us are tied with the Heavenly Emperor Gate. You will make all the decisions. We only ask to follow your majesty and to sit at the Heavenly Emperor Mountain peacefully. We never harbor any other ambitions. However, if anyone is to threaten our position at the Heavenly Emperor Mountain, certainly we would not hesitate to spare our lives to fight.”
“Yes, we would be willing to follow the Heavenly Emperor Gate by pledging our lives to fight the Qin Clan!” Luo Tongtian also declared his position.
Yan Guinan was more of a crafty person as he said with a smile, “Now as we are all on the same boat, of course we share the same heart. This is needless to be said. The crucial point is how to fight against the Qin Clan. For my humble opinion, fighting the Qin Clan needs to be urgent and not delayed. If we drag it on and wait for the Qin Clan to gain substantial feathers on their wings, they will be tough to deal with. To deal with them, we must make our move as soon as possible. We must take the Qin Clan by storm!”
Initially, the Heavenly Emperor was expressionless. Upon hearing the words from Yan Guinan, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Yan Guinan’s face for a moment. Then, he closed his eyes with a smile.
Yan Guinan was secretly happy for he knew that his words had invited the joyfulness of the Heavenly Emperor. He continued to speak, “Now is the moment when the Qin Clan is most proud of themselves. We can use this chance to launch an attack on them. Also, we can let the other sects of the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gate add in their efforts too.”
“Oh?” Xin Tianchen was overjoyed. “Guinan, what are you thinking?”
“Everyone must remember that before heading to the Illusion Heavenly Lake, the Heavenly Emperor had issued three laws. Now that we are back at the Heavenly Emperor Mountain and not at the Karakorum Immortal Clan, we hold the power to speak. As long as we forcefully say how that Qin Clan had broken the rules and attacked Wuji and the others, we can summon and rise with the other sects! How could they dare to say no?”
This strategy had hit the heart of those at the Heavenly Emperor Gate. In fact, both the Heavenly Emperor and Xin Tianchen had planned it this way.
When it was mentioned by Yan Guinan, it showed a different meaning.
Xin Tianchen said with a slight smile, “We would need the Sound of Thunder Sect and the Heavenly Punishing Villa to testify together. Initially, when were at the Karakorum Immortal Clan, that Female Celestial Miao Yun had not collaborated well. The Emei Daoist Sect has suffered and he was able to get away. Now as we are back at the Heavenly Emperor Mountain, regardless, it will be our advantage. Besides, Qin Wushuang also admitted that he had killed Wuji. This is easy to do. Initially, that divine beast testified for him. Now that we are here, who will testify for him?”
“Brother Tianchen, I am just afraid that Mr. Ba will try to shield the Qin clan.” Yan Guinan could not refrain from being worried.
Suddenly, Xin Tianwen asked, “Everyone, do not worry about the totem clan. I will make a report. For this matter, I will take care of it. Mr. Ba has shielded the Qin clan under that circumstance. Yet when back at the Xuan Yuan Mound, it’s completely another matter. Most importantly, although Mr. Ba is powerful among the totem clan, he is only a chief that ranks in the rear.”
“If your majesty could get some statements from the totem clan, then launching a punitive expedition to the Qin Clan would be absolutely safe.” Yan Guinan smiled sincerely.
