Inside the major tent of the Xin Clan, Xin Tianwen, divine beast Saber Beard, and Xin Tianchen were present. The four defeated leaders sat on two sides of the room.
Xin Tianwen did not scold them. Instead, he opened his eyes widely and swept across the scene. Then, he said lightly, “What, each of you cannot even afford to raise your heads?”
The four leaders raised their heads unconsciously. Xin Tianwen showed a powerful imposing manner. They would not dare lower their heads and ignore him.
“Your majesty, this time, we lost embarra.s.singly.” Yan Beifei could not hold back.
In terms of the real power, indeed the Floating Snow House and Misty Sword Sect were far inferior to the Heavenly Punis.h.i.+ng Villa and Sound of Thunder Sect. However, due to different reasons, they were the ones that were disqualified.
It was not because they did not have enough power, but the ill use of strategy and the opponent’s unexpected moves were too ferocious.
Xin Tianchen said with a wry smile, “Two Suzerains, I also feel bad for you. This is really an accident. Who knew that the Qin Clan had all those trump cards? It seems as though Transformation Supreme Dao weapons are just ordinary weapons in their hands. Since when did the Qin Clan became this lavish?”
Suddenly, Saber Beard said lightly, “Tianchen, it’s impossible for the Qin Clan to have all this equipment. Don’t forget that Qin Wushuang is the person who inherited the immemorial formation. I think he already inherited many outstanding pieces of equipment. The weapon used by that stinky monkey is at the Fifth or Sixth Calamity of the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage. Besides the totem clan in the Tian Xuan Land, which one of us have Sixth Calamity Genuine Supreme Dao weapons?”
Xin Tianchen said with grief, “That Qin Wushuang is truly a lucky b.a.s.t.a.r.d. He gets all the benefits. Sir Saber Beard, is that immemorial formation truly that unfathomable?”
“Humph, that formation is not just for boasting. The owner is rumored to not be from the Tian Xuan Land. He is the G.o.d that transcended from the Genuine Supreme Dao!”
G.o.d!
These two words that could arouse even the apathetic shook everyone. All of them revealed a fanatic look in their eyes. To the Tian Xuan Land, G.o.d is the most paramount and most unreachable existence.
Only by soaring through the galaxy could one become a G.o.d!
However, in the recent ten thousand years, has there ever been someone who could soar through the galaxy from the Tian Xuan Land? No!
For the totem clan, even if they trained to the Peak of the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage, in the end they were incapable of pa.s.sing the Ninth Calamity. Soaring the galaxy was too unattainable.
Whenever Xin Tianwen thought of how Qin Wushuang inherited that formation, a burst of anger scuttled from his heart. If he allowed that Qin Wushuang to grow, not only would the Xin Clan not have a place in the Heavenly Emperor Mountain, they would not have a place across the entire Xuan Yuan Mound and the Tian Xuan Land.
“Saber Beard, for this Heavenly Emperor compet.i.tion, we must win. We already cannot afford to lose.” Xin Tianwen looked at divine beast Saber Beard directly.
Saber Beard nodded gravely. “Tianwen, I asked you to think of a way to acquire the contestant list of the Qin Clan, did you get it?”
Xin Tianwen said with a bitter smile, “This contestant list is kept confidential. It’s impossible for the Xuan Yuan Clan to leak it. This is a grave crime where you can lose your head. Xuan Yuan Ba would not dare to expose it. Although I am the Heavenly Emperor, before the Xuan Yuan Clan, I don’t hold any privilege.”
“It will be easier if we can get the contestant list. Now, since we have no idea of how the Qin Clan will play, there are many mysteries to this battle,” Saber Beard said with a low voice. After having experienced Qin Wushuang’s power, he also did not dare to boast.
“Your majesty, Sir Saber Beard, we are well aware of how many people the Qin Clan have. Qin Wushuang’s divine beasts have already represented other sects. They cannot fight again. I think we have a great chance. For the Qin Clan, even if Qin Xiaotian can fight, it will not necessarily work,” Xin Tianchen said.
“If speculating with norms, the trump cards of the Qin Clan are just Qin Wushuang, Qin Xiaotian, Qin Yunran, and Qin Chongyang. Regardless of who of Qin Yunran or Qin Chongyang fight, when they meet Tianchen along with the twin sealed beast souls, at least you can reach a draw. Even if Qin Yunran fought with a Sixth Calamity Genuine Supreme Dao weapon, it would not be enough to defeat Tianchen and the twin sealed beast souls!” Saber Beard a.n.a.lyzed.
After a moment of silence, Xin Tianwen nodded. “The Genuine Supreme Dao Sixth Calamity weapon will at most give him double his original power. With the twin sealed beast souls, plus Tianchen, that will be three against one. For this battle, it would be impossible if Tianchen could not even get a draw.”
“In the second round, will they send Qin Xiaotian or Qin Wushuang? They are almost on par, it’s highly possible for either one of them to go first.”
Saber Beard said, “Didn’t you say Qin Xiaotian suffered severe injuries and was incapable of fighting?”
Xin Tianwen said with a wry smile, “Indeed, that’d be the case in normal circ.u.mstances. However, it’s possible that Qin Wushuang got the defying divine medicine allowing Qin Xiaotian to appear vigorous and lively. Judging from the confidence upheld by the Qin Clan, it’s highly likely Qin Xiaotian will partic.i.p.ate!”
Everyone else nodded thoughtfully to agree with him.
“Yes, your majesty, we must stay vigilant of the crafty Qin Clan. Each time we suffered because we underestimated them. This time, we should overestimate them rather than underestimate them.”
“Saber Beard, how much a.s.surance do you have to defeat Qin Xiaotian?” Suddenly Xin Tianwen asked.
Saber Beard revealed a light smile. “Qin Xiaotian is only at the Second Calamity of the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage. After getting injured for this long, surely he did not advance. Now, to win against him, I definitely have ninety percent a.s.surance. After this trip to the Heavenly Fire Southern Border, I acquired a few powerful divine skills. By that time, I will kill Qin Xiaotian in one breath and avenge you!”
Xin Tianwen nodded viciously. “Good, if I meet Qin Xiaotian, certainly he will not fight on par with me now! But that Qin Wushuang…”
“Yes, this Qin Wushuang is a concerning one. However, even if he has his fortuitous opportunities, we also got ours at the Southern Border. In the end, he will not match us. Friend Tianwen, you must not have a shadow of doubt in your heart.”
Xin Tianwen said with a cold sneer, “Shadow? He was lucky that time and also because I let down my guard. Now, how could I suffer from the same trick? Aren’t they just puppets? When I am on guard, I will not fear him.”
“Yes, if Tianchen can win that round, it will be absolutely safe. If Tianchen can reach a draw, we will have eighty percent certainty. Even if Tianchen gets defeated, you and I are enough to control the situation. Brother Tianwen, remember, regardless of which one of us meet Qin Wushuang, we must provoke him to sign the life and death contract. Even if we win this time, we will suffer greatly if he stays alive.”
It’s apparent that divine beast Saber Beard restrained his fear to Qin Wushuang. Even if he had the a.s.surance to win, he was afraid of the consequences in terms of his potential.
“Alright, it will be our best opportunity to kill him on the Xuan Yuan stage!” Xin Tianwen revealed a sinister smile and raised his head to look across the entire scene. “Everyone, no need to sigh with grief. When my Xin Clan continues to sit as Heavenly Emperor, in the end we will strive for benefits for you. It’s not important that you are not in the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates. The important matter is whether the Xin Clan sits as Heavenly Emperor. If my clan sits as Heavenly Emperor, in the future when it’s time to open the G.o.d Discarding Door, you will get your chance!”
Xin Tianchen also advised them, “Yes, the most important part is for everyone to unite. This time, we did not take enough precaution with our enemies. When we sit as Heavenly Emperor, we can kill Qin Wushuang and seize his equipment and treasures. By that time, the state of affairs of the Heavenly Emperor Mountain will fall into the hands of the Xin Clan. When the G.o.d Discarding Door opens, there will be great fortuitous opportunities. In this case, everyone will just have to wait five hundred years. After that, when the Heavenly Emperor Mountain pageant begins, you can challenge again. You just need to climb from where you fell.”
Yan Beifei and Lei Ming exchanged a glance. Both felt that it was the only option at this moment. Even if they harbored complaints against the Xin Clan, it would not be appropriate to speak about them now. Now, they could only hang on to the Xin Clan and remain hopeful.
“Your majesty, then we shall hope the Xin Clan seizes the Heavenly Emperor seat for the third time. All of us shall hide under the bushel and bide our time to await your support!”
Xin Tianwen revealed a satisfying smile and said, “That’s the way. No need to feel down. When the Xin Clan rules, I will not cast aside the old people.”
“Thank you, your majesty.”
At this moment, they could only flatter the Xin Clan and follow behind them. There was no other choice. Additionally, with the Heavenly Emperor and Saber Beard as the double insurance, they still had confidence in the Xin Clan seizing the Heavenly Emperor seat.
…
After three short resting days, finally the second section of the Heavenly Emperor Mountain pageant opened its curtains. Finally, the three powerhouses uncovered their mysterious veil. They would no longer hide themselves. As they revealed their fangs, they were prepared for the final fight.
This was the compet.i.tion for Heavenly Emperor, the contest to gain control of the Heavenly Emperor Mountain and also the fight for future interest. Even the Qin and Yun Clan who usually shared a good relations.h.i.+p put away their civilities.
As Xuan Yuan Ba looked at the three matching powerhouses, he was extremely satisfied. With a smile, he said, “Everyone, for the hundred year Heavenly Emperor Mountain pageant, finally we welcome the peak state. Who will get to be Heavenly Emperor? How will the future of the Heavenly Emperor Mountain go? Next, let these three traditional sects give us the answer.”
Representatives of the three powerhouses walked up on the Xuan Yuan stage from three directions. They waved their hands to those beneath the stage. This could be said as a form of strategy to rope in popularity and to bribe the will of the people.
At this moment, their degree of popularity could be seen to some extent from the wild intensity of the cheering.
As the current Heavenly Emperor Gate, representatives from the Xin Clan were the first ones to walk up on stage. Cheers and a thunder-like applause emerged from all directions down the stage. Yet it was clear that many people were expressionless. They were not as satisfied with the ruling of the Xin Clan.
As the Yun Clan always kept a low-profile, the amount of clapping they received was not exaggerated.
On the contrary, when Qin Wushuang went up on stage, a wave of cheering emerged like a tsunami from everyone. The sound of clapping continued for a long time, like the rolling spring thunder.
Public att.i.tude, this was the public’s att.i.tude!
Although such a high standard was related to Qin Wushuang’s powerful rise and reputation over these dozen years, the reputation of the Qin Clan allowed them to earn enough cheer!
The Qin Clan had won the will of people!
Although Xuan Yuan Ba saw this situation, he did not issue any opinions. Instead, he said with a smile, “Three chiefs, there’s the old rules, we must do a draw to determine the compet.i.tion.”
“Are you all ready?” Xuan Yuan Ba raised his brow and looked at the three people.
The three of them were not unambiguous as they nodded. Then, they walked towards that bamboo lottery tube that was already prepared.
It seems in such pageant, it was destined to have many dramatic elements. As if it was the will of the G.o.ds, the Qin Clan would meet the Xin Clan. It seemed that all the grat.i.tude and grudges were ready to be worked out on this stage!
The Yun Clan drew the accompanying trainers of the Xuan Yuan Clan! To them, it was not a bad draw! Yet it was also not a good one. It was because in order to win the Heavenly Emperor seat, they must win twice!
