The Cloud Prefecture had a total of eighty-one counties and countless cities. Outside the cities, there were countless major powers.
However, the number of major powers that could truly stand at the peak of the Cloud Prefecture weren't many.
But for the Jiang Clan of the Cloud Prefecture, it could definitely be said to be one of the major powers at the peak of the Cloud Prefecture, unexcelled in the world.
The Jiang Clan could be traced back to an extremely ancient era. There was a grandmaster weaponsmith named Jiang Chao who had heaven-defying weaponsmithing abilities. Even immortal emperors would often ask him for help, wanting him to help them forge supreme immortal weapons.
However, the Jiang Clan that Jiang Chao founded was too domineering. Hence, they were extremely arrogant and had no one in their eyes. Hence, they offended many people and Jiang Chao even had a mortal enemy with an extremely powerful cultivation base. The two of them fought a heaven-shaking battle and his opponent killed Jiang Chao head-on. However, he didn't expect that Jiang Chao's weaponsmithing abilities had already reached the heavens. Jiang Chao even forged his own body into an immortal weapon and before his death, he retaliated with a final strike, causing both of them to perish together.
After Jiang Chao died, many enemies he had offended all came knocking on his door. Naturally, many of them coveted the immortal weapons and treasures of the Jiang Clan he founded. At that time, Jiang Chao's name already shook the immortal realms and he was extremely wealthy. Naturally, there were many people who had designs on the Jiang Clan. Hence, a bloody war erupted and the Jiang Clan encountered an unprecedented calamity.
Jiang Chao was indeed Jiang Chao. He forged the defenses of the Jiang Clan into an impenetrable fortress that was extremely hard to break through. After that war, it was unknown how many experts of the Jiang Clan died but the Jiang Clan also suffered many casualties as they plundered many immortal weapons. After that, as the era changed, the Jiang Clan encountered a few more calamities as they struggled their way to where they are today.
Although the Jiang Clan no longer had the splendor Jiang Chao had in the past, they had experienced countless storms. But even so, when the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor ruled the thirteen prefectures, the Jiang Clan was still able to stand stably in the Cloud Prefecture, becoming a sacred ground. It was unknown how many people admired them and wanted to enter. Not only because they wanted to cultivate the martial path, they also didn't want to learn how to weaponsmith.
That was the holy land founded by Jiang Chao, a place of pilgrimage for master craftsmen in the Cloud State.
Currently, many of the rumors in Worryfree City were related to the Jiang Clan. In an extremely short period of time, the stories of the Jiang Clan were repeated in the inns. Of course, as long as one was slightly older, they would basically have heard of the Jiang Clan and Jiang Chao. After all, the Jiang Clan's reputation was too great.
Experts of the Jiang Clan were about to descend upon Worryfree City. How could this not cause a commotion?
Outside the entrance of the City Lord Manor, Zhao Yuyan quietly stood there, her eyes flashing with determination. After which, she lifted her feet and sped towards the direction of the City Lord Manor. This time around, she wouldn't turn back unless she bumped into the southern wall. As the supreme elder of the Golden Armor Sect, her master had given her the cold shoulder, imprisoning her. In that case, she would grab hold of her future once again. Even if she had to pay any price, she wouldn't hesitate.
However, not everyone had the same thoughts as Zhao Yuyan.
Right now, the entire Qin Clan was in an uproar. In the courtyard of Qin Qing's residence, there were many people there. The sounds of commotion could be heard, it seemed that there was a dispute going on.
"Qin Qing, even if you don't want to go, you still have to go. I've already reported your name. The City Lord will come here today to bring you over. This is a chance for my Qin Clan." An indifferent voice rang out. The person who spoke was none other than Qin Qing's uncle.
"Qin Xiao, you bastard!" Qin Feng roared in rage, the veins on his body bulged. He had never expected that this uncle of his would actually do such a despicable thing this time around.
"Grandpa, you have to seek justice for elder sister." Qin Feng stared at his grandpa Qin Mu as he spoke.
"What a vile spawn, to think that you don't know the difference between seniors and juniors, even daring to insult me. I will cripple you." Qin Xiao stepped out heavily as his aura gushed forth, pressing down on Qin Feng.
"STOP!" An explosive roar rang out. Qin Mu also had an expression of rage on his face. He stared at Qin Xiao, "Who asked you to do this? Do you still have me, the clan leader of the Qin Clan, in your eyes?"
"Uncle, I do want to respect you. However, the things you've done during these years have truly caused this nephew's heart to turn cold." Qin Xiao stared at Qin Mu as he spoke. "Back then when Qin Feng's parents were still alive, you shielded them in every possible way, giving them all the good cultivation resources. After that, they unfortunately died, and you still doted on Qin Feng and his sister in every possible way, allowing them to enjoy the cultivation resources first. Are you really thinking for the sake of the entire clan?"
"Since when is it your turn to speak in this clan?" Qin Mu angrily rebuked.
"Boss, it's not a big deal for the juniors to express their views. In addition, Qin Xiao's words aren't without reason." At this moment, an old man at the side spoke. Qin Mu turned his gaze over, staring at his cousins as he swept his gaze over them one by one.
"What do you all mean by this?" Qin Mu suppressed his anger as he stared at the people in front of him. The eyes of these people were filled with dissatisfaction towards him, the clan leader. Seems like this wasn't a temporary matter.
"I don't mean anything, I just feel that Qin Xiao's words are right. Everything he does is for the sake of our Qin Clan. This is a rare opportunity and the other clans are all fighting to grab it. Qin Qing is so beautiful and pure, she might even catch the eye of a major character from the Jiang Clan. At that time, our Qin Clan would soar up into the heavens with a single leap, possessing a heaven-blessed advantage. In fact, we might even become one of the most influential clans in the Worryfree City. With such an opportunity right in front of you, Qin Mu, are you going to give it up just like that?"
That person slowly spoke, his tone cold. Qin Mu stared at him, "Just like what you said, the entire Worryfree City is fighting to be the first. Do you think it's so easy to catch the eye of a major character? In addition, so what even if she caught the eye of a major character? Would those lofty characters dote on a female? "
To those major characters from the Holy Lands, even if they fancied a female, they would only do so for fun. They wouldn't spend too much effort on a female.
By doing this, it was undoubtedly pushing Qin Qing into a pit of fire.
"No matter what, we still have to try." That person continued. Qin Mu stared at him as an indistinct pressure radiated from him. "Am I the clan lord, or are you the clan lord?"
"Qin Mu, if you don't care about the benefits of your clan, I have nothing more to say. The people from the City Lord Manor have already arrived. Right now, things can no longer be salvaged. Even if Qin Qing doesn't want to go, she has no choice but to go." That person's voice was as calm as ever. And at the same time he spoke, the sound of wind whistling could be heard from afar. An instant later, several figures appeared. The person in the lead stood in the air as he spoke, "Where is Qin Qing?"
"Here." The old man from the Qin Clan who spoke to Qin Mu called out. After that, those figures walked over and their gazes landed on Qin Qing. This female's looks were truly outstanding and she looked extremely pure. She wasn't bad at all.
"Come with us," the man said indifferently.
"No." Qin Feng blocked Qin Qing's path. "She can't follow you guys."
"Mhm?" That expert frowned as a cold light flickered in his eyes.
"Qin Feng, how dare you." The old man from the Qin Clan berated. "Scram."
"Senior, my elder sister has never registered herself. These people acted on their own. I beg for senior's forgiveness, please don't bring my elder sister along." Qin Feng spoke.
"Scram." That person had a cold expression as he stared down at Qin Feng.
"Senior." Qin Feng's eyes turned red as his countenance turned pale. However, he only saw the other party waving his hands, "Bring her away."
"Senior, please spare my elder sister." With a putong sound, Qin Feng knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the expert from the City Lord Manor, "Senior, please forgive me."
"Scram." That person had a look of anger on his face.
"No …" Qin Feng refused to budge. Qin Mu also walked over and spoke to the expert from the City Lord Manor, "My granddaughter didn't do this willingly, please forgive her this once."
"How impudent." That person coldly spoke. "Capture him."
After speaking, he stepped out as well. With a heavy wave of his hand, a muffled boom rang out as astral light flashed. A terrifying saber light directly slashed down with the speed of lightning.
Qin Mu's countenance paled, he similarly released his aura. He lifted his hand and retracted his attack as an astral shield appeared, shining with a diamond-like light. However, under the might of the saber light, the astral shield was broken apart as his body was directly forced back.
"Hmph." That expert coldly snorted as he continued walking towards Qin Mu. His palms grabbed out in the air as tens of thousands of saber lights erupted forth, converging into a terrifying gigantic saber in front of Qin Mu. As the saber slashed out, the sound of the wind whistling could be heard as the entire space was cleaved into two.
Qin Mu's countenance turned pale. Astral light radiated from his body as it transformed into an incomparably large shield. When the gigantic saber slashed down, the entire space trembled. After which, the saber directly disintegrated, transforming into fragments that pierced into Qin Mu's body.
Piercing sounds rang out unceasingly. Qin Mu groaned in misery as his countenance turned pale. Fresh blood seeped out from all over his body as he retreated unceasingly. That expert didn't continue attacking, he merely coldly glanced at Qin Mu. As for the other side, Qin Feng was directly flung out. The experts from the City Lord Manor were holding Qin Qing captive. The two of them had no strength to resist at all.
"Grandpa, Qin Feng!" Qin Qing saw that both of them were injured as tears flowed down her face.
"Release my sister!" Qin Feng rushed over in rage, yet he only saw one of the experts lashing out with a kick. With a thunderous boom, Qin Feng's body was directly flung through the air.
"Don't bother about me, I'll go, I'll go!" Qin Qing roared, despair could be seen in her eyes. Qin Mu endured his injuries and stood up, yet a few elders from the Qin Clan directly surrounded him. The old man who argued with him earlier spoke, "Clan Lord is muddle-headed, bring him away."
"You guys, how dare you …" Qin Mu stared at the people before him. He only saw the experts from the City Lord Manor coldly glancing at him before turning and bringing Qin Qing away.
In the air, Qin Qing turned her head, glancing at Qin Mu and Qin Feng. An intense pain could be seen in her eyes, it was all her fault for harming her grandpa and Qin Feng!
