Ever since Qin Wushuang rose from the Eastwood Qin Clan, in terms of fighting or talking his way out of something, when had he ever not pulled through?
He had his own style. Even if he were to strike the enemy, he would not allow any room for the enemy to turn the tide. Even in verbal sparring, he often rendered the other party dumbstruck and unable to reply.
Even if it was to make trouble without reason, he must stand on some verbal ground. In terms of reputation and righteousness, Qin Wushuang would not want to let go a single fight.
Unfortunately for that Xuan Yuan Wei, initially he thought that with his identity as a Xuan Yuan totem elite warrior, the entire Qin Clan would have flocked to flatter him and try getting closer to him. Unexpectedly, he never thought this situation would happen!
For this situation, not only had he never encountered it before, in the previous thirty thousand years, most likely no secular powerhouses had ever brought totem elite warriors like this.
It was not to blame Xuan Yuan Wei, but because this matter was too strange. No one ever thought that a mere Qin disciple could act with such arrogance with a Xuan Yuan totem elite warrior.
Xuan Yuan Wei could not use all those little schemes he devised earlier. Initially, he wanted to use his identity as a hint and the Qin Clan would come up to ingratiate themselves. Then, he would give some slight hints and take back the Nirvana Heavenly Plow. He would also give a promise to mediate the conflict between the Qin and the Xin Clan to forbid them from sending out another expedition before the Heavenly Emperor election.
By counting the chickens before they were hatched, perhaps he would have had a ninety percent success rate if it was Qin Xiaotian acting as the chief. However, currently it was Qin Wushuang as the leader in the Qin Clan.
Being a person who experienced two lifetimes, Qin Wushuang was always amenable to coaxing and not coercion. In the eyes of the other Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates, the totem clans were indeed, supremely authoritative figures. However, Qin Wushuang did not take this. If the totem clan people were nice and courteous, naturally he would do the same. He would be respectful and show the appropriate manners.
On the contrary, this Xuan Yuan Wei was acting pretentious from the moment he appeared. His ghost-like appearance and disdainful looks from the corner of his eyes made Qin Wushuang feel angered even as he looked at him.
Plus as he was dissatisfied at how the Xuan Yuan Clan secretly aided the Xin Clan, with all of these negative feelings adding on top of one another, how could Qin Wushuang buy him?
“Qin Wushuang, it seems that it’s not without cause that your Qin Clan was seized by a joint expedition by the other powerhouses in the Heavenly Emperor Mountain. I see that it’s the Qin Clan that holds the majority of the responsibility.” In this scenario of extreme anger, Xuan Yuan Wei’s stance started to shift. His tone already started to deviate in terms of his standpoint.
Qin Wushuang said with a cold sneer, “For this statement, don’t pass it on a person’s life until the lid is on the coffin and until after the Heavenly Emperor election. The ancient people know that winners become the rulers, losers become rebels. Now the winners and losers are yet to be decided, the identity of the rulers and rebels are unknown. I am afraid it’s too soon to discuss who is responsible, right? Sir Wei, I do have one thing I do not understand. I think that Xin Tianwen is on par with my grand Elder Xiaotian. When he sent an expedition against the Qin Clan, Xin Tianwen used a Supreme Dao weapon, called the Nirvana Heavenly Plow. A person with clear eyes can see that’s an object only possessed by a totem elite warrior. May I ask, where did Xin Tianwen get that weapon?”
Since you were unwilling to admit the matter, let me help you. Qin Wushuang gave a cold smile. In terms of sophistication and scheming, Xuan Yuan Wei, who only knew how to put on a show, might not be Qin Wushuang’s best opponent.
Don’t look at how he pretended to be the profound thinker before Xin Tianwen and holding the pearl of wisdom. In fact, when they were having a talk face to face, Xuan Yuan Wei might not hold any advantage.
He was able to be pretentious before Xin Tianwen by relying on his higher identity and power. At the same time, it was also due to the identity of being part of the totem clan.
After all, the totem Xuan Yuan Clan always acted as the owners of the Xuan Yuan Mound. The Xin Clan was only the butler existing for the Xuan Yuan Mound temporarily.
For such mental advantages, it allowed Xuan Yuan Wei to move like a fish in the water.
However, Qin Wushuang did not play into his moves at all. Naturally, Xuan Yuan Wei’s mental advantages were obliterated completely. When he was counter questioned by Qin Wushuang’s words, Xuan Yuan Wei was dumbstruck and stupefied.
How could he not want that Nirvana Heavenly Plow back? However, once he opened his mouth to admit it was his, not only would Qin Wushuang not give it back to him, most likely he may use it as proof. By that time, perhaps the Xuan Yuan Clan would fall into a passive situation.
If he were not to admit it was his, the Nirvana Heavenly Plow was a Supreme Dao weapon with great fortune. Despite how Xuan Yuan Wei cast an incantation on it for many years, he was incapable of exploiting half of its’ power. Naturally, he knew how exceptional that Nirvana Heavenly Plow was. He felt unreconciled by giving it to the Qin Clan.
Inwardly, while he cursed the useless Xin Tianwen, he thought quickly of how to get this Nirvana Heavenly Plow back.
Xuan Yuan Wei also saw that this Qin Wushuang was an unequivocal person. He was an unequivocal person that excelled at being stupid. Unless Qin Wushuang was willing to give back this Nirvana Heavenly Plow, it would be useless to make up a story.
As if Qin Wushuang discerned what he thought from his body, he had already guessed what he was thinking. Inwardly, he felt rather funny. “This Xuan Yuan Wei must be the backbone to Xin Tianwen. I am afraid that Nirvana Heavenly Plow belongs to him. Without a question, this guy took the trip to get the Nirvana Heavenly Plow back. Humph humph, how could it be that easy? Totem elite warrior? He thinks that when he shows his identity and lets out his tyrannical manner, that I will bow my head to him? He’s truly dreaming. It’s not that easy to get the Nirvana Heavenly Plow from me.”
As if Qin Wushuang was to hang Xuan Yuan Wei’s appetite deliberately, he grabbed the Nirvana Heavenly Plow with his hand and tossed it in the air. The gear on top of it rotated rapidly.
Fire almost gushed out from Xuan Yuan Wei’s eyes. He saw with one look that the secret lines on top of the Nirvana Heavenly Plow were already completely cleaned off.
Currently, the Nirvana Heavenly Plow was simply a raw material. How could it still have any of the grand meteorological features as a Supreme Dao weapon?
Qin Wushuang mumbled to himself, “Indeed, this Nirvana Heavenly Plow is a rare divine weapon. Unfortunately, the person that cast the incantations has poor skills. The power exploited is not even fifty percent. It’s truly a waste of natural resources.”
These words sounded harmless, yet how could Xuan Yuan Wei not be aware that his opponent was deliberately making cutting remarks with vile intentions.
Xuan Yuan Wei thought quickly and could not think of an appropriate method to get the weapon back.
He thought quickly, and suddenly said, “Qin Wushuang, you are so bold, where did you steal this Nirvana Heavenly Plow from? You dare to show it off?”
When Qin Wushuang saw Xuan Yuan Wei acting all serious, he was almost intimidated. With a quick thought, he knew that this Xuan Yuan Wei was intentionally scaring him.
He let out a roaring laugh. “Sir Wei, from your tone, your next step is to admit that this Nirvana Heavenly Plow is the divine weapon of your Xuan Yuan Clan! If I explain that I took this good from Xin Tianwen, you will surely declare that Xin Tianwen stole the divine weapon from the Xuan Yuan Clan. Is this the routine? In general, you will not admit that you gave this to Xin Tianwen, right?”
These words were more vicious than throwing a big slap at Xuan Yuan Wei’s face. Regarding Xuan Yuan Wei, he was truly counting on this idea. The steps were matched exactly as Qin Wushuang exposed him.
Exposed by Qin Wushuang, instantly Xuan Yuan Wei was dumbstruck and did not know his next step. This Qin Wushuang was truly powerful. Before he finished one of his moves, he already blocked the path of the next few moves.
If he were to admit that he gave it to Xin Tianwen, he would be luring the fire onto him. No matter how unyielding Xuan Yuan Wei may be, it was impossible for him to make such a low-leveled mistake.
He gave a cold sneer, “Qin Wushuang, from your tone, it seems you refuse to give up until you pour a bucket of dirty water on the head of the Xuan Yuan Clan… What, could it be you want to challenge the prestige of the Xuan Yuan Clan?”
Qin Wushuang said seriously, “Sir Wei, smart people don’t beat the bush, you should stop this bluffing. For this matter, to speak bluntly, it’s a private deal between you and Xin Tianwen. In terms of the bargaining chip, if I’ve guessed correctly, it’s the Graceful Spiritual Bow in my hand. Unfortunately, you bet on the wrong person. You chose that Xin Tianwen, who is unable to accomplish anything but liable to spoil everything. The matter is not done well, yet you exposed yourself. Sir Wei, if you are still to be pretentious, let’s say it right here. If not, we can finish talking about it.”
Qin Wushuang’s words were not the slightest bit courteous.
They could still talk about it?
Xuan Yuan Wei became spirited. He cleared his throat and wanted to use his identity as a totem elite warrior to speak some official words, to stimulate his morale.
Unexpectedly, Qin Wushuang’s next words almost choked him.
He said, “Sir Wei, since today you cannot play the big sign as the Xuan Yuan Clan, you should be honest, lower your attitude, and talk with me on equal grounds. Or else, goodbye.”
Xuan Yuan Wei was dumbstruck. This Qin Wushuang was indeed, sharp. It was no wonder that Xin Tianwen could not take down the Qin Clan. It seems that new talents always existed and emerged from the Qin Clan.
Indeed, Xuan Yuan Wei could only quarrel verbally. In fact, on today’s trip, how could he play the big signboard of the Xuan Yuan Clan?
If he were truly to play the card of the Xuan Yuan Clan to bully the Qin Clan, then the clan would await for the denunciation from all other totem clans.
For this matter, in one careless mistake, it might transform into a situation where totem powerhouses sent expeditions against one another. Xuan Yuan Wei would not dare to provoke this.
Up to this moment, Xuan Yuan Wei understood that if he were not to lower his stance, it was impossible to have this Qin Wushuang speak nicely.
He gave a light snort. “Qin Wushuang, I admit you are something. Tell me what you think. If I can take it, I shall pinch my nose and take it. If too outrageous, humph humph, I can leave as a Xuan Yuan member. By that time, I will turn around and deal with your Qin Clan, who will not be able to say anything to me.”
Theoretically, breaking away from the Xuan Yuan Clan was truly a murderous tactic. However, Qin Wushuang was sneering coldly inwardly. Not to mention how Xuan Yuan Wei would be too reluctant to let it go, even if he did, without the golden brand as a member of the Xuan Yuan Clan, people would not fear a lone commander.
With a slight smile, Qin Wushuang said, “This Nirvana Heavenly Plow must be yours. I knew this as soon as you appeared. You want it back and do not want to leave things for me to use against you. I understand. However, this thing destroyed the spiritual ley lines of the Qin Clan and I spent months fixing them. It also caused severe injuries to my grand elder Qin Xiaotian. Therefore, you can give up on taking it back through verbal sparring. Sir Wei, how about let’s set up a gamble!”
“A gamble?” Xuan Yuan Wei was moved inwardly. “How do we gamble, what are the stakes?”
“It’s simple, my stake is this Nirvana Heavenly Plow. If you win, you can take it back, without needing any explanation and no need to worry about any difficulties from my Qin Clan.”
“What about my stake?” Xuan Yuan Wei asked while narrowing his eyes.
“I need a sufficient amount of earth spiritual stone and earth from your territory! When you collect these goods, come to my Aspiring Throne Mountain again! Today, I shall excuse myself.”
After Qin Wushuang finished the instructions, with a flash, he disappeared without a trace. He left Xuan Yuan Wei appearing dumbstruck.
