The Heavenly Emperor Gate was located at the southeastern territory of the Heavenly Emperor Mountain. In terms of fortune, indeed it was the most prosperous place among the Heavenly Emperor Gate. However, since the Heavenly Emperor Gate had done many unjustified actions, their instability would be the cause of their decline.

This time, the location where Qin Wushuang and the others were transported was the most desolate and the most secretive serene mountain valley among the Aspiring Throne Mountain. As it was covered by clouds and mist, even the Heavenly Emperor party did not notice it.

Exactly as Qin Xiaotian had guessed, eyes were set everywhere across the entire Heavenly Emperor Mountain by the Heavenly Emperor Gate. Since Qin Wushuang was quick and Mu Rong Xu and the others disguised themselves, they were able to trick them and escape.

Qin Wushuang was not in a rush to make his move. He was waiting. He planned to wait for half of a month.

Waiting was not because Qin Wushuang was not prepared sufficiently, but because he was holding it off for his fellow disciples and Mu Rong Xu. With this fifteen days, regardless of Mu Rong Xu or Qin Taichong and the others, they would be at least a hundred thousand miles away. The major battle that was going to occur at the Heavenly Emperor Gate would not influence them.

Qin Wushuang’s mind was able to calculate every detail. Naturally, he would not miss such a little detail. He planned that when he launched his ma.s.sacre at the Heavenly Emperor Gate, he would contact Head Chief through spiritual perception and ask him to exert all his force to delay Xin Tianwen.

As long as Xin Tianwen was incapable of getting out, Qin Wushuang would have more time to execute his plan leisurely.

He took out the sealed scroll again and summoned the Dark Mysterious Snake and the Swallowing Sky Lion Dragon.

These two spiritual beasts at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage had definitely become Qin Wushuang’s main hitters. Each time he summoned them, they knew that their chance to battle had come again.

“Master, we have another chance to try out our skills?” Swallowing Sky Lion Dragon laughed fervently.

“You two, this battle will be different. I will have three targets: the Heavenly Emperor Gate, the Heavenly Punis.h.i.+ng Villa, and the Sound of Thunder Sect. I will head to the Heavenly Emperor Gate while you two go after the Heavenly Punis.h.i.+ng Villa and the Sound of Thunder Sect. You will exert all your efforts and lash out your full power, try to destroy as much as you can!”

When Swallowing Sky Lion Dragon and Dark Mysterious Snake heard they could perform freely, vicious lights flashed across their eyes even more. That form of brutal nature possessed uniquely by the spiritual beasts erupted instantly.

Qin Wushuang rolled open the map of the Heavenly Emperor Mountain and said, “This is the Sound of Thunder Sect and this is the Heavenly Punis.h.i.+ng Villa. You will listen to my orders together. As soon as I order you to attack, the three of us will make our move together. We will a.s.sist each other. For this wave of attack, there will be sufficient time. However, we must not linger in battle. When you hear my order, you will withdraw immediately. Then, you will head to the Tortoise King Mountain separately.”

Qin Wushuang drew the exact route he wanted them to take towards the Tortoise King Mountain.

“Master, when will we move?” the two spiritual beast asked.

“We’ll move immediately. With your spiritual Qi supply, it’s certainly not a problem to support you to the Tortoise King Mountain. However, for safety reasons, I will set up three meeting points along the way. If we cannot meet at these three points, we will meet at the Tortoise King Mountain. If we can, we will meet at the meeting point! The closest meeting point is only two hundred thousand miles away. Remember, when you receive the order, you must retreat, do not meet any Supreme Dao elite warriors. Right now all of the Supreme Dao elite warriors are facing the Qin Clan. Through the path from the Qin Clan to these two places, you will arrange your own retreat route. As long as you don’t b.u.mp into the enemy’s return path, you should not be worried about encountering them. Understand?”

“Yes, master, then we shall go now!”

“Go, be careful along the way and listen to my orders!”

After Qin Wushuang sent away these two spiritual beasts at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage, once again he began the journey of fifteen days of solitary training.

Within fifteen days, Qin Wushuang had stayed hidden and investigated the Graceful Spiritual Bow. He had formed a communication with the Graceful Spiritual Bow. What made him surprised was that when he communicated with the bow, he could train his primordial spirit and exercise his mindset. This was an unexpected surprise after acquiring the Shooting Sun Arrows.

…

This time when the Heavenly Emperor Gate sent out its punitive expedition to the Qin Clan, Xin Tianwen and the four Supreme Dao elite warriors had all gone out. The majority of their people at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage and beneath the Supreme Dao Stage had followed the expedition.

Now, only one at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage remained to oversee the Heavenly Emperor Gate. His name was Xin Tianhong. This person was the younger cousin to Xin Tianwen and he was also a tactician for the Heavenly Emperor Gate. He possessed exceptional skills at making strategies and he was also the most hopeful to apprehend the Supreme Dao Stage by himself among those at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage.

Since Xin Tianwen had allowed Xin Tianhong to oversee the Heavenly Emperor Gate, it was apparent of the trust bestowed to him. Naturally, it was intended to create a training environment for him and give him the chance to enter the Supreme Dao Stage before the Heavenly Emperor election in sixteen years!

Xin Tianhong’s a.s.sistants were four Elders at the Ravine Mysterious Stage.

“Elder Tianhong, we just received news from the Qin Clan, the Heavenly Emperor has unleashed great divine skills and is close to breaking the first pa.s.s of the Qin’s mountain protection formation,” An elder said with a smile.

Xin Tianhong was in a great mood as he revealed a somewhat intelligent smile. “Excellent, with this speed, in three years, we will break the Qin Clan!”

“Everyone should train hard and aim to achieve a breakthrough before the return of the Heavenly Emperor,” Xin Tianhong encouraged.

“Elder Tianhong, you should have gained a great harvest of comprehension regarding the Supreme Dao Stage, right? You should not be too far from the Supreme Dao Stage, right?” an elder asked with a flattering smile.

Xin Tianhong was not arrogant. Revealing a calm expression, he said with a light smile, “Still one step away, but I am confident that before the Heavenly Emperor election, I will successfully enter the Supreme Dao Stage!”

“Ha ha, by that time, we shall call you Chief Tianhong!”

After entering the Supreme Dao Stage, one would get upgraded to chief automatically. This was the general rule of the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates.

“Our Xin Clan is still the most powerful, we are nothing like the useless Qin Clan who only knows to rely on the Supreme Dao Fruit. If they have the skills, would they have the strength to break into the Supreme Dao Fruit to show us? This is a cla.s.sic sour grape mentality.”

Xin Tianhong waved his hand. “Everyone needs to contribute to the Xin Clan, t.i.tles are all artificial. Now, besides increasing our training, we must protect the mountain gate.”

“This is not to be worried, now that the Qin Clan cannot protect themselves, could they still threaten our Heavenly Emperor Gate? Besides, the defenses of the Heavenly Emperor Gate are not just there for show.” The Elder from earlier was full of confidence.

Xin Tianhong nodded and asked again, “Any movements from the Yun Clan?”

“The Yun Clan is determined to stay neutral this time, there is not the slightest movement. Ha ha, the Yun are truly stupid. During this great historical change, they did not know how to make a choice. Do they just think of themselves as high and lofty? Just wait, after the Heavenly Emperor destroys the Qin Clan, we will settle our debt with them!”

A trace of strange light flashed across Xin Tianhong’s eyes. “For these matters, we must not discuss without reason. By the way, how’s the situation at the Heavenly Pole Cave?”

“Ha ha, with the help of the Heavenly Emperor, the crown prince is already back at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage. Once he comprehends the Supreme Dao Stage, his majesty will remodel a body for him.”

“Yes, remember, you must serve the crown prince well.”

While they were in the midst of conversation, suddenly a figure moved from outside the door. Xin Tianhong and the others could not but help to stand up. “Your majesty?”

From outside the door, “Xin Wuji” who was dressed in white cloth slowly walked in.

Of course, the appearance of this Xin Wuji was of that Ruo Ping Fairy. Although he had used many methods to change his appearance to be more masculine, those two lumps high on his chest could not be altered no matter what.

This made Xin Wuji’s entire look appear incredibly ridiculous. Although Xin Tianhong and the other Elders found this situation to be strange, they displayed an extremely respectful expression and would not dare to reveal a single smirk to avoid provoking his majesty’s weak little heart.

“Elder Tianhong, how’s the progress with sending a punitive expedition to the Qin Clan?” Since Xin Tianhong resented the Qin Clan deeply, naturally he had cared about this matter more than anyone.

“Your majesty, everything is going well.” Xin Tianhong explained the updated situation in detail.

Xin Wuji’s face flared up with an evil expression. “Good! The day we break into the Qin Clan, I hope my father would capture that Qin Wushuang. I will serve him well!”

As the elders heard these harsh words, they could not help but to feel funny about Xin Wuji’s appearance. Even though they wanted to, they hid their smiles from sight.

“Elder Tianhong, this time I have left the Heavenly Pole Cave for I need to prepare a few portions of herbs. You guys can help me take care of this. I will not return to the Heavenly Hope Cave now, but I will wait till you are ready.”

He handed over a few pieces of medicine and the elder took it respectfully.

…

Twenty days had pa.s.sed and Qin Wushuang wandered for three or four days before the mountain gate of the Heavenly Emperor Gate. He knew that eyes must have been set up surrounding the Heavenly Emperor Gate. Therefore, his current goal was to catch a scout.

On this day, Qin Wushuang finally had his wish fulfilled as he used the divine venomous puppet technique to control a patrol disciple of the Xin Clan successfully.

Qin Wushuang took this patrolling disciple to a remote place.

This disciple of the Xin Clan being controlled by the divine venom would of course not exhibit any resistance. It was incredibly easy to interrogate him.

Through the mouth of this puppet, Qin Wushuang learned that it was an elder called Xin Tianhong who was currently overseeing the situation. Among all warriors at the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage, this elder had the most hope of breaking into the Supreme Dao Stage. Therefore, the Heavenly Emperor kept him in the sect to oversee the situation.

Besides him, there were four other people at the Peak of the Ravine Mysterious Stage.

Although these five possessed powerful strength, to the current Qin Wushuang, the strength of the people left at the Xin Clan were of a lesser priority to him.

He was more concerned about the defense mechanisms at the Heavenly Emperor Gate. Since the Heavenly Emperor Gate was the leader, it’s impossible for their mountain gate to be undisguised. No matter how confident the Xin Clan were, certainly they would not open the defenses of the mountain gate.

Although Qin Wushuang was confident, he did not have the audacity that he could ignore the defenses of the Heavenly Emperor Gate and come and go as he pleased.

Therefore, he must make sure that he learned about their defenses inside and out.

“The defenses of the Heavenly Emperor Gate has three layers each on the inside and the outside. The ones that oversee these barriers are Elder Tianle, Elder Tianyou, and Elder Tianhong! The strongest barrier is overseen by Elder Tianhong. Unless you are a disciple, it’s incredibly difficult to pa.s.s through the barriers.”

The words from this puppet gave Qin Wushuang an idea. A plan gradually took shape in his mind.

“To attack the Heavenly Emperor Gate, I must give them an extra surprise! If I do not leave them a profound lesson, how could the Heavenly Emperor Gate feel the pain?” Qin Wushuang pondered hard about this.

He stood up and he had looked at the direction of the Heavenly Emperor Gate with a stone cold gaze.
