Qin Chongyang was somewhat surprised at their arrival, yet when he saw these two, he immediately understood their intentions.
Without a question, they had come to seek help.
Xin Tianwen supported the Hundred Sword Sect and Vase Mound House to target the Thousand Feather Sect and Hundred Lane House. The situation was clear that the Xin Clan could no longer have them stay.
With Xin Tianwen’s skill, certainly he had eighty to ninety percent assurance as he arranged it this way. Therefore, both the Hundred Lane House and Thousand Feather Sect felt enormous pressure.
Disregarding their past grudges, they came to seek help from the Qin Clan. Of course, the Hundred Lane Clan was the one who issued this suggestion. After Qin Wushuang conquered the clan through the divine venomous poison, there was another hidden piece. This time, of course they were responsible for the Thousand Feather Sect and Mysterious Reform Gate seeking help from the Qin Clan.
However, the Mysterious Reform Gate felt that firstly, the Qin Clan did not have the strength to help them. Secondly, they also felt the Qin Clan did not have a motive to assist them.
After all, the Great Second Gate were the ones who challenged the Mysterious Reform Gate. It was highly likely that the Qin Clan would support the Great Second Gate.
If the opponent that challenges the Mysterious Reform Gate was supported by the Xin Clan, naturally they would come to seek their aid.
These two powerhouses were once accomplices as they helped the Xin Clan attack the Heavenly Emperor Mountain. Although they did not do much, they also helped encouraged fame and power. Therefore after they arrived at the Qin Clan, it was not a surprise for them to encounter scowling and glaring eyes.
Fortunately, before they came they were already prepared to welcome their unfriendly gazes.
Compared to survival, the problem with their pride was nothing. Additionally, the Hundred Lane House prepared to use the Qin Clan as a back door.
The Head Chief Qin Clan was their master. Just for this aspect, Bai Liguang knew Qin Wushuang would not sit and do nothing.
Inside the Qin Clan, there gathered numerous Supreme Dao elite warriors. Inside the Upright Morality Hall, there were six Supreme Dao warriors! They were Qin Chongyang, Qin Taichong, Zhi Huai, Zhi Song, Zhi Bo, and Zhi Tong.
When Bai Liguang and Luo Baiyu saw the strict atmosphere at the Qin Clan and the numerous Supreme Dao elite warriors, they also smacked their tongues in secret. For your information, the three top elite warriors of the Qin Clan were not even present.
Qin Wushuang, Qin Xiaotian, and Qin Yunran were the top-tier elite warriors of the clan.
In the direct line of descent, the Qin Clan had nine Supreme Dao elite warriors. Not to mention, Qin Wushuang also had a few divine beasts. Unquestionably, the power of the Qin Clan suppressed the Yun and Xin Clan.
Now the only question was whether or not the previous Head Chief Qin Xiaotian was healed from his injuries. According to the speculation in the outside world, Qin Xiaotian could not participate in this Heavenly Emperor contest.
If Qin Xiaotian could participate, there would not be the slightest suspense for the Qin Clan to seize the Heavenly Emperor seat!
Although these Supreme Dao people of the Qin Clan were feeling indignant at injustice, they still held their bearings. While they frowned and scowled, they did not throw rotten eggs or fruit at them.
Qin Chongyang said lightly, “Two Chiefs, a while ago we met on the battlefield. Today you came to visit us, what honorable business do you have with us?”
“Not honorable, not daring,” Bai Liguang said with an apologetic smile. “Honestly, me and Brother Bai Yu have come to offer our apologies.”
“We will not dare to take your apology.” Qin Chongyang’s tone sounded incredibly cold.
Now, Bai Liguang could only lower himself as he nodded his head and bowed. “Indeed, it’s our fault for what happened previously. We conducted grave sins. But I vow to the heavens, sending an expedition against the Qin Clan was never what we wanted. Since ancient times, we have admired your clan’s noble character and unquestionable integrity. Yet before the tyrannical abuse of the Xin Clan, we had to obey him without choice.”
“Now that the Xin Clan abandoned you guys to find people to replace you, you plan to seek help from my clan, right?”
Bai Liguang and Luo Baiyu were wearing an embarrassed expression and made a strong face to smile apologetically. “Yes, yes. Currently, the situation at the Heavenly Emperor Mountain is chaotic. Only the Qin Clan can pull against such crazy tide. Although we are of petty and low influence, we also know what people want. We are willing to hold the whip and follow your stirrup, to charge and break through enemy lines. We will listen to all of your orders, without a second thought.”
Qin Chongyang was not interested in such declaration. Additionally, he could not make the decision for such important matter.
After a moment of silence, Qin Chongyang said, “For the major decisions, it must be decided by the Head Chief personally. Although you have such heart, you must see whether my Head Chief agrees or not.”
When Bai Liguang heard about the Head Chief, he was brimming with happiness. “Yes yes, we just want to visit the Head Chief, the future Heavenly Emperor. Could you please recommend us to him?”
“Follow me!”
Qin Chongyang took these two to arrive at the mountain cave where Qin Wushuang was in solitary training, but he saw tens and thousands of multicolored lights shining before the cave. Five colored clouds kept transforming into different shapes that showcased a myriad of meteorological features.
This was the rainbow after the Supreme Dao calamity. He didn’t expect it to be this impressive!
Qin Chongyang was overjoyed as he thought. “Could Head Chief have achieved another breakthrough?”
Indeed, a bursting straightforward laugh emerged from inside the cave. “Chief Chongyang, the ones you’ve brought today are rare guests.”
Bai Liguang and Luo Baiyu immediately congratulated him. “Congratulations for the achievement, we just happened to coincide with the occasion to see such meteorological features with our own eyes. It’s truly a blessing of three lifetimes.”
Qin Wushuang roared with laughter. “Bai Liguang, don’t blabber. I know you will come, I just didn’t expect Luo Baiyu to come too. Yes, the Mysterious Reform Gate did not dare to come, right?”
Bai Liguang had a mischievous chuckle. “The Mysterious Reform Gate thought the Qin Clan secretly supported the Great Second Gate, they did not dare to show face.”
Qin Wushuang said with a leisurely tone “The Qin clCan did not support the Mysterious Reform Gate. If I’ve predicted correctly, they should be supported by the Yun Clan. However, this can also be a promise between us. Since the Mysterious Reform Gate is not here, that’s good. If they were here, I would at most remain neutral. It’s a different story to you guys.”
When they heard this, both Bai Liguang and Luo Baiyu rose in spirit. To some unknown reason, the monstrous performance Qin Wushuang showcased all these times gave them endless confidence. They felt that as long as Qin Wushuang was willing to agree, all their difficulties would get solved naturally.
Initially, the strength of the Hundred Sword Sect and Vase Mound House were certainly less than the Hundred Lane House and Thousand Feather Sect. For some reason, these two were sects of the Heavenly Emperor Mountain as each had two Supreme Dao warriors. The only fear they restrained was the secret support given by the Heavenly Emperor Gate.
If the Heavenly Emperor Gate bestowed them with powerful weapons and equipment, regardless of consequence, it will be difficult to say the outcome.
Qin Wushuang laughed. “Chongyang, you can return to the Upright Morality Hall first. I will receive these two.”
Qin Chongyang did not dare to disobey. He bowed to Qin Wushuang and turned to return to the Upright Morality Hall.
After Qin Chongyang left, instantly Qin Wushuang’s expression sank. “You two, according to your previous performance, certainly the Qin Clan will not help you. It’s already rare for us not to drop the stone on a drowning person. Currently, as the Xin Clan strikes you, the ones the Xin Clan supports are the ones the Qin Clan opposes. Therefore, the situation helped you and not because the Qin Clan wishes to help you!”
“Yes yes.” Sweat drenched Luo Baiyu’s forehead as he kept calling out his luck.
However, Bai Liguang was more agile as he smiled apologetically. “Head Chief, earlier we carried grave sins, me and Brother Baiyu want to use this chance to pledge our loyalty to the Qin Clan. In the future, we will follow the Qin Clan, driven by you.”
“Yes, yes. What Brother Guang said is what the Thousand Feather Sect wants.”
Qin Wushuang revealed a light smile. “It’s not difficult to pledge your loyalty. It’d be difficult for Bai Liguang to not pledge loyalty to me. Now, Luo Baiyu, to show your loyalty, you must follow my rules. Bai Liguang, explain your situation to him.”
Bai Liguang thought Qin Wushuang would not mention the puppet matter. Upon hearing the dignified tone from Qin Wushuang, without daring to neglect, he explained his situation systematically.
Luo Baiyu was dumbstruck and unable to utter a word.
Qin Wushuang disregarded Luo Baiyu’s astonishing look and said with an indifferent tone, “When the Misty Sword Sect pledged loyalty, they vowed to follow us for three thousand years. Since I see their sincerity, I did not perform the puppet skill. Since you planted a vile cause previously, now you must bear the vile fruit. I will not ask you guys to pledge for three thousand years. In the next one thousand years, you must be my puppets. After one thousand years, regardless of the situation, you will regain your freedom.”
Luo Baiyu immediately panicked. “This, this…”
Qin Wushuang said impatiently, “Luo Baiyu, don’t stammer. Even if you do not say yes, I can still use force to perform the puppet skill on you. Let me tell you ahead of time, that’s a polite way. In other ways, since you are here at the Aspiring Throne Mountain, you are left without any options. Being a puppet, the outsiders will not know, you will still be the leader of the Thousand Feather Sect. Besides this disadvantage, there are none others.”
“As for the benefits, have you thought about it?”
“Yes, Brother Baiyu. Master is the profound prodigy and also the inheritor of the immemorial formation. Will you not want to get some advantages with Master?” Bai Liguang also urged him.
Luo Baiyu was moved as he could refrain from asking, “What benefits?”
“Firstly, I will solve your current crisis faced by your sect. You will continue to sit as one of the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates. Secondly, follow me, once I gain some benefits in the future, depending on your loyalty, of course there will be different advantages. Remember, I want an impenetrable fortress. I want the Heavenly Emperor Mountain to completely become the territory of the Qin Clan. Not even a drop of water from the exterior powerhouses can be poured in! With the Misty Sword Sect as the example, if they can replace the Sound of Thunder Sect, I will reward them with a Sixth Calamity Transformation Supreme Dao weapon!”
Sixth Calamity Transformation Supreme Dao weapon!
Luo Baiyu and Bai Liguang were instantly stunned. Being one of the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates, they saw Supreme Dao weapons. They even had their own Transformation Supreme Dao weapons. However, those were only at the Second and Third Calamities.
They were not even qualified to touch those at the Sixth Calamity!
“When you become my puppet, if you can keep your spot in the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates, you will receive the same reward!”
At Qin Wushuang’s place, Sixth Calamity Transformation Supreme Dao weapons were below average weapons. Naturally, he will not be distressed when using it to bribe people.
Without the slightest hesitation, Luo Baiyu instantly bowed down on the ground. “Luo Baiyu meets master, I am willing to be driven by you. I will follow you in death!”
“Since you are becoming my puppet, no need to worry about anything else. I am already aware of Xin Tianwen’s trump cards. By that time, I will have a way to let you win against the Hundred Sword Sect and Vase Mound Mountain easily. I will let Xin Tianwen know how childish and ridiculous his smart plan will be!”
Qin Wushuang’s matchless confidence moved Luo Baiyu and Bai Liguang greatly. They were immensely shocked. Now, this young man appeared like a descending Celestial God. They would not dare to look at him, but only to look up to him.
