Qin Wentian and the Qiankun Sect Leader naturally wouldn't reply. The Qiankun Sect Leader continued, "No matter what, Qin Wentian mustn't land in the hands of your Qin Clan. If not, all his secrets would be in the hands of the Qin Clan. If that's the case, it would be much more difficult for us to obtain the secrets of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms from Qin Wentian."
The hearts of everyone wavered when they heard the Qiankun Sect Leader's words. His words weren't without logic. Although Qin Ding promised that if he obtained the secrets of the Heaven Vault, he would open the Heaven Vault for all the hegemonic powers to share, how trustworthy was his words?
Before immense benefits, no amount of words could be trusted. Once the Qin Clan reneged on their words, it would be much more difficult for them to threaten the Qin Clan compared to threatening Qin Wentian. The strength of the Qin Clan was clearly much stronger compared to the Heaven Vault. Hence, the Qiankun Sect Leader's worries weren't wrong.
"According to what you said, shouldn't we hand Qin Wentian over to your Qiankun Sect?" A cold voice rang out from the Qin Clan once more. There were traces of anger in the tone.
"Just like how I don't trust the Qin Clan, I believe the Qin Clan wouldn't trust my Qiankun Sect as well." The Qiankun Sect Leader calmly spoke. "Qin Wentian, why don't you agree to open the Heaven Vault and allow everyone to enter for cultivation? Maybe, there would still be a chance of survival."
"Qiankun Sect Leader, do you think that there's still a chance to resolve the hatred between me and the Qin Clan?" Qin Wentian smiled. "I have a good suggestion. Since everyone is here today, why don't you help me to raze the Qin Clan to flat ground to resolve the worries in my heart? After the Qin Clan is destroyed, I will open the Heaven Vault and allow everyone to enter for cultivation. How about it?"
Qin Wentian's words caused the expressions of the people from the Qin Clan to freeze. Their gazes grew colder when they stared at him. He actually wanted to incite the experts of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms to join forces against the Qin Clan?
The eyes of the experts flashed as they glanced at the Qin Clan. Although they were tempted, they were still filled with trepidation if they really did this. For ordinary heavenly deities, they would be able to hold them back. However, the Qin Clan had a few extremely powerful heavenly deities that they wouldn't be able to hold back. Hence, it was much simpler to deal with Qin Wentian.
Moreover, who would dare to take the lead? That would be equivalent to shedding all pretense of cordiality with the Qin Clan.
"Your idea is wonderful." An indifferent voice was heard as an extremely beautiful silhouette stepped out. Her long dress fluttered in the wind, she was breathtakingly beautiful. It was the Number One Celestial of the Nine Heavens, the Goddess of the Nine Heavens.
Many people in Qin City stared at the silhouette as their thoughts ran wild. However, that was the Empyrean Fairy. They could only keep their thoughts to themselves. No one could have her.
"Since we can't reach a consensus, how about handing over Qin Wentian to me?" The Nine Heavens Mystical Maiden spoke. Even the number one immortal in the nine heavens couldn't resist the temptation of the Heaven Vault and wanted to fight for it.
"That's a beautiful thought." Qin Zheng's wife said faintly. Although they were both exceedingly beautiful women, she had a natural hostility towards the number one deity of the Nine Heavens Secular World.
"Since none of you are willing to spare him, it's simple then. Cripple his cultivation first and force him to reveal the secret of the Heaven Vault in front of everyone. Are you all satisfied with this?" Qin Ding spoke again, his voice thundered through the air. Many people nodded silently, this was a good idea. Whether Qin Wentian was crippled or not, it didn't matter to them.
Qin Wentian laughed. "If I'm crippled, do you all think I would still be alive? Why don't I just die? Since none of you are willing to accept my first suggestion, I'll give you all another suggestion. There's no need for you all to destroy the Qin Clan. As long as you all escort me to the Heaven Vault, I will open the Heaven Vault and allow all the major powers to enter for cultivation. Only the Qin Clan is not allowed to enter. What do you all think about this suggestion? "
The eyes of the experts flashed. An expert stared at Qin Wentian, "You won't play any tricks?"
"I'm right here. Everyone, just follow me. How can I play any tricks?" Qin Wentian replied.
Many people felt their hearts stirring. This suggestion wasn't bad. They didn't need to deal with the Qin Clan, they only needed to protect Qin Wentian from death and bring him to the Heaven Vault.
"Senior Qin Ding should have heard it. Seems like Qin Wentian mustn't be crippled by the Qin Clan." The Qiankun Sect Leader spoke. The Nine Heavens Mystical Maiden's silhouette flashed as though she was prepared to act at any moment. She then spoke, "I accept this suggestion."
Entering the Heaven Vault for cultivation was their goal. As for Qin Wentian, they didn't have any deep grudges with him.
"Is this the reason why Qin Wentian dared to come to the Qin Clan?" Many people silently mused. He actually wanted to use the strength of experts from the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms to block the Qin Clan for him. This was a good idea but did Qin Wentian really intend to open the Heaven Vault for this?
"What if I say that my Qin Clan wants Qin Wentian for sure?" Qin Ding's voice grew colder and colder. Today, if the Qin Clan allowed Qin Wentian to leave safely, it would be a great humiliation for them. Qin Wentian provoked the Qin Clan on the day of Qin Dangtian's wedding but he still chose to leave calmly. What did the Qin Clan count for?
In addition, he said that he would allow the hegemonic powers of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms to enter the Heaven Vault with the exception of the Qin Clan. If this was the case, wouldn't the Qin Clan be the biggest loser? How could they agree to this?
"Senior, you are making things difficult for us." The Qiankun Sect Leader replied.
As his voice fell, the suffocating pressure became even stronger. Terrifying rays of light and darkness flickered in the sky and flowed in the sky. More and more of them appeared until they covered the entire sky.
In the Qin Clan, a heaven-shaking pressure gushed forth. With a boom, the hearts of everyone trembled as they felt a pressure that came from the depths of their souls. This heavenly might was too powerful. There seemed to be a primordial ferocious beast in the Qin Clan.
The entire space was incomparably stifling.
Finally, in the airspace above the Qin Clan, a figure walked out. His expression was calm but it seemed to contain a heaven-shaking might. He casually took a step forward, yet he gave off an incomparably heavy feeling. In his hands, there was a strange-looking halberd. Light and darkness revolved around the halberd. Around him, the will of light and darkness were like numerous divine dragons spiraling around him.
The halberd radiated a heaven-destroying pressure.
"The Judgement Halberd." The hearts of countless people trembled. Earlier, they were still wavering because of Qin Wentian's words and wanted to interfere, bringing Qin Wentian away safely. But now, all of them had the intention to retreat.
Qin Ding of the Qin Clan was enraged. The halberd in his hands caused everyone to recall a rumor regarding the Qin Clan.
An ancestor of the Qin Clan had an extremely high cultivation base. He was the one who established the Qin Clan for many years. It was said that he pursued a supreme dao but ultimately failed. Hence, he infused the remnants of his life force into a divine weapon that had always followed him. He used his life force to forge this divine weapon and passed it down to the descendants of the Qin Clan, becoming this Judgement Halberd.
Qin Ding's strength was already terrifying. Now, he appeared with the Judgement Halberd in his hands. One could very well imagine how angry he was right now. Today, the Qin Clan suffered all sorts of humiliation. Yet, Qin Wentian actually wanted to make use of the various powers to deal with the Qin Clan.
Since his son Qin Zheng had no way to suppress everyone, he could only step out himself.
"Qin Wentian, leave him to my Qin Clan. After the secret of the Heaven Vault is unraveled, I will naturally allow all of you to enter for cultivation. Who dares to question my decision?" Qin Ding coldly spoke. This time around, his tone was extremely domineering. Since words were useless, he might as well use the most direct method. Force.
Today, although the experts of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms gathered here, in truth, there was still a disparity in strength between these peak powers. For example, although the three hegemonic powers of the Desolate Region have already dispersed, the disparity between them and the hegemonic powers of the Heaven Region was still too great.
Right now, the strongest expert of the Qin Clan, Qin Ding, walked out with rage and the Judgement Halberd in his hands. Who would dare to say anything?
"Senior, are you trying to force us to agree?" The Qiankun Sect Leader spoke. Although he was the Qiankun Sect Leader and his status was extremely high, Qin Ding could be considered his senior. He was of the same generation as Qin Zheng.
"There's no need to hide anymore. Since you are here, just come out. Qin Wentian, what promise did he give you?" Qin Ding coldly spoke, turning his gaze towards the horizons. The eyes of many heavenly deities flashed. There was actually someone else here? Also, it seemed that even Qin Ding regarded this person with importance, they didn't even notice him.
"Qin Ding, you are still as domineering as ever." A voice rang out. After that, an old man walked over from afar. Every step he took caused the space around him to tremble.
Many heavenly deities stared at this old man. They had never seen him before. The beautiful eyes of the Nine Heavens Mystical Maiden froze, she didn't expect that even this old man would come here. This old man was none other than the Qiankun Sect Leader of the previous generation. He was also the master of the Qiankun Sect Leader.
"It has been so many years, you haven't died yet?" Qin Ding coldly spoke.
"Haha, you are still alive and well. How can I die?" The old sect leader laughed loudly. He stared at the Judgement Halberd in Qin Ding's hands. "To deal with some juniors, you actually used this divine weapon?"
"There are people who don't want my Qin Clan to be happy. I'm naturally unhappy." Qin Ding spoke. After that, he turned his gaze downwards again. "I've already said everything I need to say. Qin Zheng, capture that vile spawn. If there's anyone who dares to obstruct me, don't blame me for being impolite."
"Yes, father." Qin Zheng nodded. The divine punishment light flashed once more, incomparably resplendent. Numerous chains of punishment directly shot towards Qin Wentian. There was no need to waste any more words. His father has already appeared with the Judgement Halberd in his hands. Everything was already set in stone.
A black cudgel appeared in Qin Wentian's hand. His expression was extremely unsightly to behold. Qin Ding's strength seemed to have exceeded his expectations. A single sentence from Qin Ding was enough to intimidate everyone. Even heavenly deities didn't dare to act recklessly. Right now, it seemed that only the Qiankun Sect could help him block the Qin Clan.
"RUMBLE!" Qin Wentian's body grew larger. The black rod in his hands grew larger as well. He stood in the air, resembling a true heavenly deity. Since they wanted to fight, he might as well fight with all his might.
