Heaven Region, Qin Clan.
A majestic ancient palace towered into the clouds. On the stone steps, a figure wearing a violet-gold crown and embroidered robes could be seen, exuding the might of the heavens and earth.
If Qin Wentian was here, he would surely recognize this person. In his father's memories, this person had appeared many times before.
Qin Zheng, the current leader of the Qin Clan, the father of Heaven's Son Qin Dangtian.
He stood on the stone steps with his hands clasped behind his back. Just by standing there, he seemed like the lord of heaven and earth.
A figure suddenly appeared at the bottom of the stone steps. This figure also exuded a transcendent aura, like he was one with the heavens and earth. This person was none other than a heavenly deity of the Qin Clan.
"Clan leader is looking for me?" This heavenly deity's name was Qin Zhong. He has already been at the heavenly deity realm for many years but before Qin Zheng, he still had to maintain respect even though he was Qin Zheng's elder.
"Uncle Zhong, I have a matter that I need to trouble you to make a trip." Qin Zheng spoke. Qin Zhong was his clan uncle.
"Right." Qin Zhong nodded, he didn't ask what was the matter.
"I originally should have sent Dangtian over for this matter. However, Dangtian suffered some setbacks back then in the Tiandao Sacred Academy and has yet to exit his closed-door seclusion. I can only trouble Uncle Zhong to make a trip." Qin Zheng calmly spoke. Qin Zhong didn't mind, "Clan leader, just speak your mind."
"Mhm." Qin Zheng nodded. "The Luoshen Clan sent a message saying that Qin Yuanfeng's son is currently in the Luoshen Clan. Head there and bring him to the Qin Clan."
Qin Zhong's eyes flashed as he curiously asked, "Clan leader, the Luoshen Clan actually sent a message to the Qin Clan?"
"Right now, the internal strife in the Luoshen Clan is extremely serious. Luoshen Mu wants to seize control of the Luoshen Clan. The strength he controls is already comparable to Luoshen Chuan. It's just that he still needs the support of a few old fellows. Hence, he needs an opportunity. His attitude is that after he controls the Luoshen Clan, he will resolve the grudges between us and the Qin Clan." Qin Zheng replied.
"So if I head to the Luoshen Clan, I only need to use the name of the Qin Clan to capture the traitor's son and Luoshen Mu will naturally cooperate?" Qin Zhong asked.
"It's fine as long as he can restrict Luoshen Chuan's side. The few old fellows of the Luoshen Clan have long lost their sharpness and don't wish to continue fighting against our Qin Clan. If Luoshen Chuan forcefully interferes, he wouldn't be far from the lower echelons." Qin Zheng casually spoke, as though he knew everything.
"Alright, I'll set off right away." Qin Zhong nodded.
"Hurry up and use the fastest way to get there." Qin Zheng spoke. Qin Zhong turned and departed. If they delayed, there might be unforeseen circumstances. They naturally had to hurry to the Luoshen Clan in case Qin Wentian left.
If Qin Yuanfeng was still alive, in that case, he would most probably appear after they captured Qin Wentian.
…
Qin Wentian who was in the Luoshen Clan had no idea what happened in the Qin Clan. He also didn't expect that someone from the Luoshen Clan would actually send news to the Qin Clan.
After all, the grudge between the Luoshen Clan and the Qin Clan had a very long history. They were originally enemies.
At this moment, Qin Wentian arrived at a gigantic public square on the Luoshen Mountain. Not only him, many experts from the various branches of the Luoshen Clan had gathered here as well. All of them were characters with some status in the Luoshen Clan. And at this moment, Qin Wentian could clearly sense the conflict between the various factions in the Luoshen Clan. The public square was split into two camps. One of the camps was led by the current clan leader of the Luoshen Clan, Luoshen Chuan. And on the opposite side of the public square, an extremely imposing heavenly deity appeared.
It was none other than Luoshen Mu. Behind Luoshen Mu, experts were as common as clouds. The number of experts gathered here was much more compared to Luoshen Chuan's side. In addition, Qin Wentian also saw the two world overlords who entered the world of reincarnation together with Luoshen Lei. His eyes flashed with coldness. These two betrayed Luoshen Lei in the world of reincarnation. And it was precisely because of that incident that caused the internal conflict of the Luoshen Clan to escalate to this extent in the next hundred years.
In fact, the experts of the Luoshen Clan had already started to take sides, putting the conflict on the surface, no longer concealing anything.
Luoshen Mu's gaze locked onto Qin Wentian with a single glance. After he sat down, he spoke to Qin Wentian, "You are Qianxue's son, right? I didn't expect you to grow so big in the blink of an eye and have such a high cultivation base, able to easily suppress powerful world overlords. Do you still remember the days when Qianxue grew up in the clan? How outstanding was she then? Sadly, she took the wrong path."
This Luoshen Mu's voice contained no anger at all. It was like he was speaking to a junior of the clan. How did he seem to be targeting Qin Wentian? As expected of a heavenly deity, his ability to maintain his composure had reached the point of perfection.
"Junior Qin Wentian pays his respects to senior. However, I can't agree with senior's words. From what I know, my mother has never walked the wrong path before. What senior thinks is wrong doesn't mean that it is wrong." Qin Wentian calmly replied, neither servile nor overbearing.
"What you said makes sense." Luoshen Mu nodded lightly. However, many people around him had unfriendly gazes when they stared at Qin Wentian. This was especially so for those experts who came to Luoshen Yu's residence earlier. They all knew that Qin Wentian was extremely arrogant and had no one in his eyes. He basically didn't have the people of the Luoshen Clan in his eyes at all.
"However, I heard that earlier you had some conflict with the people of the Luoshen Clan. You said that you came to the Luoshen Clan to visit your uncle and younger sister and have no connection with the Luoshen Clan. Is that right?" Luoshen Mu asked.
"Yes." Qin Wentian nodded. "That's not right.
I'm sure you also know about the matters in the past. Our Luoshen Clan had many conflicts with the Qin Clan because of the matter regarding your parents. Right now, many of our juniors, elders, and parents have all died because of this, feeling so much pain that they wish they were dead. As for Qianxue, she could simply leave and leave everything to the clan. You are Qianxue's son, do you still think that you have no connection with the Luoshen Clan? "Luoshen Mu calmly spoke, there was no trace of anger in his tone.
"Junior wishes to ask senior. If the descendants of the seniors had conflicts with other major powers and were bullied, would the Luoshen Clan interfere?" Qin Wentian asked.
Luoshen Mu fell silent for a moment, he instantly understood Qin Wentian's meaning. He smiled, "Naturally."
"If the Luoshen Clan suffered losses because of this, would the Luoshen Clan blame the descendants of the seniors who were bullied?" Qin Wentian calmly spoke, "Not dealing with the enemies but blaming the people of the clan instead. If the Luoshen Clan acts like this, I'm afraid we would become a laughing stock. If word of this spreads out, we would become a laughing stock."
"Impudent!" A person berated.
"Can I ask for your advice? Which sentence is impudent?" Qin Wentian stared at the person who berated as he calmly asked.
Luoshen Mu waved his hand. He smiled at Qin Wentian, "Your words aren't without reason. However, back then the marriage between your parents was something the Luoshen Clan didn't allow and your mother insisted on doing things her own way. In the end, this led to some consequences. This is different from the example you mentioned."
"Regardless of right or wrong, if the Luoshen Clan can't even protect their own clansmen and even blamed them, what's the point of the Luoshen Clan existing?" Qin Wentian calmly mocked. "Since senior is so concerned about right or wrong, in that case back then in the world of reincarnation, the two world overlords of the Luoshen Clan betrayed their own clansmen and didn't even hesitate to act against them, wanting to send them to the hands of their enemies. Such despicable and shameful actions. Why can the two of them still appear among the people of the Luoshen Clan and not be expelled from the Luoshen Clan?"
When the two world overlords saw Qin Wentian pointing the spearhead at them, their eyes gleamed with coldness.
"I didn't expect Qin Yuanfeng's son to be such a sharp-tongued person." An old man mocked.
"Since senior wants to argue, I will do so. Now that I can't win with logic, you even angered me and humiliated me. Such actions …" Qin Wentian shook his head, not concealing the mockery in his tone at all.
"What you said is very logical." Luoshen Mu smiled and nodded. "In the battle earlier, you wanted to slit the throat with a single sword strike. Such elegance, you do have the talent of your father back then. What you said earlier is very correct. It's hard to differentiate between logic and reason. Who is right and who is wrong isn't important. What's important is that if the Luoshen Clan can't even protect their own clansmen from being humiliated, they wouldn't be fit to be the Luoshen Clan.
"In that case, they insulted my father and my elder brother. Shouldn't they give me an explanation as well?" Luoshen Lei coldly spoke. On the other hand, the clan leader of the Luoshen Clan, Luoshen Chuan, didn't say anything. He was waiting to see how Qin Wentian would react.
"They deserve it. Who else insulted Yu`er earlier? Step out now and slap yourselves for every sentence you say." Luoshen Mu's voice suddenly turned cold, becoming imposingly imposing. The expressions of the experts earlier stiffened. Many of them were world overlords, yet Luoshen Mu wanted them to slap themselves?
Luoshen Chuan's eyes narrowed. This Luoshen Mu was truly ruthless. Was he preparing to be ruthless?
"Did you not hear my words?" Luoshen Mu's voice grew even colder. The experts from the Luoshen Clan all walked out with unsightly expressions. However, they also understood that Luoshen Mu did this because he wanted to deal with Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian's expression turned even colder when he saw this scene. Luoshen Mu wanted to find an excuse to deal with him.
Luoshen Mu quietly stared at the experts who slapped themselves. After that, he turned to Qin Wentian, "You also said it yourself. You came to the Luoshen Clan to visit your uncle and have nothing to do with the Luoshen Clan. Now, they have to pay a price for what they did. But you insulted someone from the Luoshen Clan and even pointed your sword at their throats. How should you resolve this matter?"
"Someone insulted me and my uncle. I naturally have to retaliate. If senior wants to act against me for the sake of juniors, I have nothing to say." Qin Wentian calmly smiled. If a heavenly deity acted against him, his grandfather who was the clan leader of the Luoshen Clan wouldn't be a decoration.
"I naturally won't act." Luoshen Mu spoke.
Qin Wentian's smile grew even more radiant. "Since this is the case, those who want to take revenge for what happened earlier, feel free to act against me. If you can slice my throat with your sword, I'll admit it. But if you can't and my throat is sliced instead, don't blame me."
"Arrogant." The experts on Luoshen Mu's side all had expressions of rage on their faces. This son of Qin Yuanfeng wasn't just an ordinary arrogance. He had everyone in his eyes and simply didn't have the experts of the Luoshen Clan in his eyes at all!
