Qin Wushuang estimated that it was time for Xin Tianwen to be almost healed. In less than one month, the Xin Clan would surely return.
Qin Wushuang rather hoped that Xuan Yuan Wei could come sooner.
It was because the situation he set up was a trap. Once Xuan Yuan Wei was trapped, it would be difficult even if he did not wish to appear.
By using the power of Xuan Yuan Wei, it would allow the Xin Clan to not act too soon and to win valuable restoration time for the Qin Clan. Qin Wushuang was incredibly confident about it. There were about three and a half years until the Heavenly Emperor election. In these three and a half years, if he could improve steadily, he would have a seventy percent chance to defeat Xin Tianwen.
During the confrontation with the Xin Clan now, he would not be afraid of that Xin Tianwen in everyday battle. However, for such endless consummation, firstly he could not train in peace. Secondly, the fight between two tigers may cause both sides to be defeated. In that case, the Yun Clan would pick up the advantage.
It would not have mattered to let the Yun Clan have the advantage. After all, the Yun Clan was much better than the XIn Clan and shared some history with the Qin Clan to some extent.
However, being the current new Head Chief of the Qin Clan, he intended to do more work for his people. Seizing the Heavenly Emperor position, the position that was lost for two thousand years, was the grand wish of every Qin disciple.
Qin Wushuang was a man that held responsibility as he knew how to weigh different matters. In fact, to put it bluntly, it would be to continue the conflict with Xin Tianwen, but only delay the final and decisive battle.
If the decisive battle was to explode now, Qin Wushuang would not have more than a thirty percent chance to win. It would be sufficient for the Qin Clan to break away from the crisis, yet in order to rise abruptly by taking this advantage, they could not afford to lose in this battle.
The Qin Clan could not afford to lose to the Xin Clan. For this expedition, the Xin Clan could find many excuses. With the Heavenly Emperor seat in hand, despite how other sects may doubt them, it would not influence their authority.
However, if the Qin Clan lost, it was the same as losing their foundation and the chance to turn their fate.
Therefore, Qin Wushuang weighed the degree of seriousness and still felt it was the most intelligent to conceal their strength and aim for more time by delaying the deciding battle.
…
Within the Xuan Yuan Mound at the Xuan Yuan divine palace, Head Chief Xuan Yuan Yang returned from the Endless Eastern Sea. He gathered the elite warriors of the Xuan Yuan Clan to be caught up on the newest situation at the mound.
“Head Chief, as the Golden Crow has broken free, can we still not kill it after all of these years?” Xuan Yuan Xiao of the Xuan Yuan Clan could not refrain from asking.
Upon watching Xuan Yuan Yang’s solemn expression, these elite warriors of the Xuan Yuan Clan felt somewhat heavy hearted. For someone as heroic as the Head Chief, when had he ever appeared to be in such low spirits?
With a long sigh, Xuan Yuan Yang said with a somewhat complicated tone, “In terms of its current strength, the Golden Crow already surpasses all of the paramount elite warriors. Although he has yet to break the barrier of the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage and enter the Heavenly Supreme Dao Stage, he’s definitely close to it. Perhaps due to the restrictions and rules of the land or perhaps he lacks the right opportunity to break into the Heavenly Supreme Dao Stage.”
To the Tian Xuan Land, initially it was great news that the Golden Crow could not break the barrier to enter the Heavenly Supreme Dao Stage. However, the tone of Xuan Yuan Yang sounded somewhat doubtful.
Everyone knew that the Head Chief was sighing ruefully for it was too difficult to break the Supreme Dao barrier to enter the Heavenly Supreme Dao Stage. He could not see any light to soar through the galaxia.
For your information, it wasn’t just the Golden Crow who wanted to make a dash for the Heavenly Supreme Dao Stage, these totem paramount elite warriors at the Peak of the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage of course were striving for this achievement.
However, the path to the Heavenly Supreme Dao Stage was full of dense mist where one could not see the slightest hope. Therefore, the tone of Xuan Yuan Yang contained a depressed undertone.
“Head Chief, if the Golden Crow could not break into the Heavenly Supreme Dao Stage, it’s not a bad thing. If it were successful, that would be outrageous. Perhaps, the Tian Xuan Land would fall into eternal calamity.”
“Ha ha, in the circulation of the natural law, there will be a fixed destiny. It’s impossible for the Golden Crow to get stronger by itself and for other elite warriors to be helpless. If the Golden Crow is capable of breaking into the Heavenly Supreme Dao Stage, as soon as this inscrutable twist of fate is activated, the other elite warriors at the Peak of the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage will also get influenced unconsciously. Perhaps, they will also break through one after the other.”
Xuan Yuan Xiao nodded thoughtfully. “That’s right. Head Chief, how’s the situation with the Golden Crow?”
“Isn’t it still the same?” Xuan Yuan Yang said with a helplessly bitter smile. “No one can do anything to the Golden Crow. This bastard is cunning. When the paramount totem elite warriors joined hands, it fled upon hearing their wind. If fighting one on one, it’s stronger than any other paramount elite warriors. Now, only the joint hands of two paramount elite warriors can resist the Golden Crow. To make the Golden Crow in a disadvantage, we must have three totem elite warriors together. After ten years of being constantly on the move, six of the totem powerhouses across the five Forbidden Spiritual Zones reached an agreement. Three of us in one group, we will be in two groups to harass the Golden Crow to prevent it from solitary training. Now, it just passed our Xuan Yuan Mound, so I am able to return to the divine palace.”
It seems that these paramount totem elite warriors can no longer waste their energy as the situation of dividing the work appeared.
“Head Chief, for such division, it will not work if it keeps dragging on… Our forces will tire,” one of the Xuan Yuan elite warriors said.
“Indeed it’s not a way, but it’s the only way.” Xuan Yuan Yang also appeared incredibly helpless. “The joint force of six people cannot take it down. Compared to wasting our efforts, it’s best to divide our tasks. In this case, we will at least get some free time. Now, everyone shares the same mutual understanding, we shall hold it off until the opening of the God Discarding Door.”
“God Discarding Door!”
When this God Discarding Door was mentioned, the expressions of the Xuan Yuan Clan totem elite warriors turned solemn. Expectation and a sense of longing was revealed from their eyes.
For the God Discarding Door, it opens slightly every three thousand years, halfway every six thousand years, and fully every nine thousand years.
Currently, only a dozen years were left until the date for the door to be opened fully. Regarding the God Discarding Door, the secular powerhouses outside the totem clans did not have much information on it.
However, the totem clans had more knowledge. Everyone knew it was a turning point and filled with opportunities. It was a crucial period to change the fate of the Tian Xuan Land.
Especially for the period where the door gets opened fully every nine thousand years, it was a grand occasion with utmost importance across the land. All of the totem powerhouses on the Tian Xuan Land would have something similar to the grand occasion, like the Ten Thousand Year Pilgrimage Pageant of the Illusion Heavenly Lake. However, compared to the opening of the God Discarding Door, these grand occasions could not help but to be less inferior.
Therefore, those paramount totem elite warriors intended to drag out their plan until the opening of the God Discarding Door. More than ten years of the same tactic and failed attempts also caused them to be lazy.
“Alright, although the Golden Crow is vicious, as long as we restrain it, the harm it can do is only partial. No need to be overly concerned. Even if we cannot kill it, we will not let it act unbridled. On the contrary, I heard the situation inside the Xuan Yuan Mound is not very stable?”
Xuan Yuan Yang stopped to look at Xuan Yuan Xiao. The days when he was absent from the sect, the Xuan Yuan divine palace worked around Xuan Yuan Xiao for him to be in charge of related business.
Upon hearing Xuan Yuan Yang asking this, Xuan Yuan Xiao sighed helplessly. “The conflict between the Heavenly Emperor Xin Clan and the Qin Clan is intensifying. There are heavy casualties. If this rate keeps up, when it reaches the Heavenly Emperor election, the strength of the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates will surely be reduced. They need to get the situation under control.”
“Ha ha, that’s not necessary.” Xuan Yuan Yang revealed a light smile. It was as if the conflict of the Heavenly Emperor Mountain seemed to be a trivial problem in his eyes.
“Since ancient times, the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates are like running water soldiers. Besides the Yun Clan, Qin Clan, and Xin Clan, in the Heavenly Emperor election every five hundred years, there will be some changes to the other sects. The competition can replace new blood, and allow them to maintain their competitiveness.”
“Head Chief, but this time seems to be really different than before.”
“Oh? How is it different?” Xuan Yuan Yang was somewhat curious.
“This time, it seems that the Heavenly Emperor Gate is suffering greatly. It’s extremely rare in terms of history. Usually, the ones on the side of the Heavenly Emperor Gate are the overbearing party.”
“Ha ha, isn’t the Xin Clan domineering?” Xuan Yuan Yang asked with a smile.
“The Xin Clan is rather domineering. However, this time they’ve suffered heavily. Two of the four Supreme Dao elite warriors are dead. I heard that Xin Tianwen also received heavy injuries. They were helpless even when he asked Saber Beard to help.”
“Oh? This is rather interesting… Xin Tianwen injured? Was it truly done by that Qin Wushuang?” Xuan Yuan Yang seemed to be strongly interested in this topic.
“Certainly,” Xuan Yuan Xiao said with great assurance.
“It seems that in this Heavenly Emperor election, the Xin Clan will let go their seat.” Xuan Yuan Yang gave a long sigh. “Not only have I made an error in judgment with the Xin Clan, I also judged the Qin Clan wrong. I overestimated the Xin Clan and everyone underestimated the Qin Clan.”
At this moment, Xuan Yuan Wei was extremely annoyed. He interfered, “It’s not because everyone underestimated the Qin Clan, but there is an unexpected monstrous figure from the Qin Clan. Without that Qin Wushuang, they would have no leg to stand on.”
“Is that so?” Xuan Yuan Yang revealed a light smile. He stopped to look at the face of Xuan Yuan Wei thoughtfully, and then slowly turned away.
“When the battle started at the Heavenly Emperor Mountain, I told everyone to not get involved with secular affairs. When I was at the Endless Eastern Sea, I heard a few totem paramount elite warriors said that the disciples of the Qin Clan reached their territory and appealed that the Xuan Yuan Clan interfered with the conflict at the Heavenly Emperor Mountain. They also said we held a biased standpoint, that we have secretly helped Xin Tianwen to deal with the Qin Clan.”
When Xuan Yuan Yang spoke these words, his facial expression was dull. However, with his low voice and the serene essence shooting out of his eyes, it seemed he could penetrate a person with his eyes alone.
Although Xuan Yuan Wei was powerful, he felt somewhat uncomfortable before the Head Chief.
“Junior Brother Wei, you stay, the others, you can go. Remember, for the Heavenly Emperor Mountain battle, let it proceed naturally. Let them perform their best at the Heavenly Emperor election, do not get involved.”
As Xuan Yuan Yang passed the order, no one dared to disobey. All of them nodded and scattered away.
When Xuan Yuan Wei was asked to stay alone, he was feeling somewhat nervous. Inside the Xuan Yuan Clan, despite his unyielding character, he restrained his fear against Xuan Yuan Yang to some extent. Especially in the beginning, Xuan Yuan Yang reminded him to not make any inappropriate moves.
Currently, as he was asked to stay, without thinking, certainly things have been revealed. With eyes like a torch, the Head Chief already learned about his moves during the Heavenly Emperor Mountain conflict.
