Chapter 1858: Going Down the Mountain

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

A heavenly deity from the Qin Clan coming here to visit the Luoshen Clan? Luoshen Chuan naturally understood that there was a spy in the clan who leaked the news.

He felt some disappointment, although the Luoshen Clan was in the midst of an internal warfare and there was a conflict of power, this was still a matter of the Luoshen Clan. The Qin Clan and the Luoshen Clan had many years of hatred between them. And now, for the sake of vying for power, someone actually colluded with their mortal enemy the Qin Clan. How could he not feel heartache at this?

Although he knew about the other faction wanting to seek peace with the Qin Clan after seizing power, he was still very disappointed. The reason for seeking peace was evident to all, it was because the Luoshen Clan now was no longer as powerful as the Qin Clan. If not, how could a heavenly deity from the Qin Clan brazenly barged into the Luoshen Mountain like that?

On the Luoshen Mountain, countless experts appeared. All of them saw an imposing figure walk over, entering the Luoshen Clan.

“Someone of the Qin Clan actually dares to come to my Luoshen Mountain?” Luoshen Chuan coldly spoke as he appeared before Qin Zhong.

“Today I came here not because of the grudge between our two clans. We can leave those matters in the past aside for now. Today, I came here to bring the son of a traitor of my Qin Clan back. I’m sure the Luoshen Clan Lord wouldn’t have any objections, right?” Qin Zhong didn’t beat around the bush and spoke directly.

He came here for one reason only. That reason was to bring Qin Wentian away with him.

“What sort of place do you take the Luoshen Mountain for?” Luoshen Chuan coldly spoke. How can he allow Qin Zhong to bring Qin Wentian away so easily? If Qin Wentian landed in the Qin Clan, it was almost a certainty that he would never be able to leave there again.

“I naturally know what sort of place the Luoshen Mountain is. Also, I mean no disrespect when I come here this time. Qin Yuanfeng was a traitor to our Qin Clan, I’m here to bring his son away. Does the Luoshen Clan intend to shield Qin Wentian?” Qin Zhong’s voice turned glacial.

“On the Luoshen Mountain, the Qin Clan has no qualifications to act brazen.” Luoshen Chuan spoke.

“Luoshen Clan Leader’s attitude is so imposing. Is the Luoshen Clan planning to obstruct me from bringing the traitor’s son back? If the Luoshen Clan is planning to do this, I will have to stay for some time in Luo City and inform experts of the Qin Clan to come here and seek guidance from the Luoshen Clan.” Qin Zhong coldly spoke, his tone filled with threat.

“Are you threatening me? When has my Luoshen Clan ever feared the Qin Clan?” Luoshen Chuan’s eyes turned to ice.

“Elder brother.” At this moment, a figure walked over. It was none other than Luoshen Mu. He spoke, “Our Luoshen Clan isn’t afraid of the Qin Clan, but we have to see if this is worth it or not. Several days ago, Qin Wentian himself has said that he has no connection with the Luoshen Clan and was extremely brazen, even threatening the descendants of our clan, killing a hegemonic-level world overlord. Now, you want our entire Luoshen Clan to contend against a powerful enemy just for him? I’m afraid I cannot agree.”

“Clan leader, please think through this thrice.” Some people behind Luoshen Mu bowed as they called out. Luoshen Chuan’s gaze stared at Luoshen Mu, his gaze was extremely cold. This was clearly Luoshen Mu’s intention from that battle several days ago. So it turned out that back then, Luoshen Mu has already informed the Qin Clan. If Luoshen Lie had been the victor, Qin Wentian would die. If Luoshen Lie lost, the situation would develop into the situation today.

Now, Luoshen Mu already has sufficient reason to force the Luoshen Clan to hand over Qin Wentian.

He sighed in his heart. Seems like for the position of the clan leader, Luoshen Mu was willing to use all underhanded methods, even to the extent of joining forces with their mortal enemy, the Qin Clan just to deal with him. This caused him to feel a chill in his heart.

Those gazes directed towards him also caused him to feel a chill.

“You all mean that when the Qin Clan comes to the Luoshen Clan wanting to take someone from here, we should obediently hand that person over?” Luoshen Chuan’s heart was already covered in frost but there was no anger in his tone, it sounded very calm like he has seen through all matters in the world.

“Naturally not.” Luoshen Mu calmly spoke. “It’s just that there is no need for our Qin Clan to protect someone who killed a member of our Luoshen Clan. Why don’t we get him to leave the mountain? As to what his fate would be, it would have nothing to do with the Luoshen Clan. If the Qin Clan wants someone, they can have it but I’m sure they know the boundaries and wouldn’t act in our Luoshen Mountain.”

“Naturally. If the Luoshen Clan can cooperate with me, I’m willing to wait at the foot of the mountain and I won’t cause any disturbance for the Luoshen Clan.” Qin Zhong calmly spoke. As expected like what Qin Zheng has said, Luoshen Mu would help him. He coldly laughed in his heart. The Luoshen Clan was already on a path of decline and now, given that their internal warfare was so intense. Most probably, they weren’t that far off from being destroyed.

“Elder brother, you have heard what Qin Zhong said.” Luoshen Mu turned to Luoshen Chuan.

“What if I say no?” Luoshen Chuan didn’t look at Qin Zhong, his gaze was fixed on Luoshen Mu.

“Earlier when Qin Wentian fought against an expert of our clan, elder brother told my faction to stop and consider the whole situation, not wanting our Luoshen Clan to suffer more casualties. I agreed to elder brother’s opinion and did so. Even though Qin Wentian killed someone from my faction, I didn’t act against him or get anyone to create trouble for him after that. Now, elder brother as the Luoshen Clan Leader, all your actions and decisions would represent the fate of the entire clan, representing our attitude. You should understand what to do. You shouldn’t be partial due to your private matter and involve the entire Luoshen Clan into this mess.” Luoshen Mu calmly replied, as though if Luoshen Chuan said no, Luoshen Chuan would be betraying the entire Luoshen Clan.

“For this position, you truly racked your brains for all kinds of schemes.” Luoshen Chuan sighed. This was hinting for him to give up on the clan leader’s position. As long as he wasn’t the clan leader, his attitude wouldn’t represent the entire attitude of the Luoshen Clan. Hence, the entire clan wouldn’t have to be involved in this mess because of his private matter.

At this moment, Qin Wentian stood on the ground with Luoshen Yu and Luoshen Lei beside him. His white robes fluttered in the wind and the ancient demon sword was strapped behind his back. His eyes were cold to the extreme but he naturally understood that he has already been betrayed by the Luoshen Clan. Maybe ‘betray’ was not the correct word. So it turned out that his grandfather had his logic in wanting him to leave.

And now, because of him, his grandfather was in a situation where he could neither advance nor retreat. To protect him, he had to give up the position of the Luoshen Clan Leader and escort him away under his own name, and not as the Luoshen Clan Leader.

“Despicable.” Luoshen Yu’s wrinkled face flashed with rage. He clenched his fists tightly, hating the fact that he couldn’t fight now.

This Luoshen Mu actually joined forces with their mortal enemies. In order to achieve his aims, Luoshen Mu was completely unscrupulous.

Luoshen Lei’s beautiful eyes flashed with anger and worry. A heavenly deity from the Qin Clan has descended and was applying pressure for their Luoshen Clan to hand her elder brother over. Qin Wentian would face a calamity soon.

“Elders, what do you think?” At this moment, Luoshen Chuan spoke, his voice drifting into the void. The elders he was referring to were the few old men that were a generation older than him. They had always been in the shadows of the Luoshen Clan, silently protecting it. Although all the decisions of the Luoshen Clan was decided by Luoshen Chuan, in truth, the statuses of these old men couldn’t be ignored. Right now, Luoshen Mu could contend against him because he had some of these old fellows supporting him.

Usually, they wouldn’t interfere in the Luoshen Clan’s matters but they had the authority to decide on things that would affect the clan. They can be considered as leaders behind the scenes.

“Some obsessions ought to be forgotten.” A sigh rang out in reply. Upon hearing this voice, Luoshen Chuan’s heart trembled while Luoshen Mu’s eyes flashed with a resplendent light.

Luoshen Yu’s gaze froze there as his expression grew extremely unsightly.

Qin Wentian saw the change in his uncle’s expression. Seems like the owner of this voice has a very important status in the Luoshen Clan.

“The person who spoke out earlier is a heavenly deity of our Luoshen Clan, a supporter of your grandfather.” Luoshen Yu transmitted his voice over. Qin Wentian naturally understood what this meant. A supporter of his grandfather was even persuading him to give up. The meaning behind this was clear, the clan leader’s position his grandfather was holding, was now on extremely shaky grounds.

In the air, Luoshen Chuan’s figure stood there, straight-back and tall. After he heard this voice, he slowly closed his eyes before opening them again as a resolute glint flashed in them. “No.”

This single word caused the entire Luoshen Clan to fall silent. There was no noise at all on the Luoshen Mountain.

Qin Wentian stared at that imposing figure as he felt warmth in his heart. During the first time when he met his grandfather in the Luoshen Clan, an overwhelming might bore down on him, the tone his grandfather spoke to him with, was like frost, there was no sense of closeness at all. Even when he stayed for several days in the Luoshen Clan, his grandfather also didn’t appear and didn’t really chat much with him. All of these, seemed to be pointing to the fact that his grandfather didn’t care much about him.

But at this moment, with that single word of rejection, it far surpassed the tens of thousands of words Luoshen Chuan could say to him. Many matters need not be stated explicitly. Just a single word would suffice.

When Luoshen Mu heard this, a cold smile appeared in his eyes. Was everything finally going to move on the path he has charted? His distance from his goal was getting closer and closer.

“Is the Luoshen Clan Leader really preparing to interfere with matters of the Qin Clan? If this is so, my Qin Clan naturally will send experts here to the Luoshen Mountain to seek an explanation.” Qin Zhong was a heavenly deity, how could he not understand the games of power being played here? Now, he naturally would support Luoshen Mu.

“Grandfather.” At this moment, Qin Wentian spoke. He soared into the air and arrived behind Luoshen Chuan.

Luoshen Chuan glanced at him only to see Qin Wentian smiling, “Grandfather, I originally already planned to leave. I’m going to go down the mountain now.”

“Elder brother!” Luoshen Lei was shocked as she called out. If Qin Wentian went down the mountain now, wouldn’t he be brought away by Qin Zhong? What sort of fate would await him then?

Luoshen Chuan also stared at Qin Wentian. On the face of the young man, a gentle smile could be seen. When looking at his smile, Luoshen Chuan felt like he was looking at his own daughter.

“Grandfather. Uncle, Lei`er and many people still need you.” Qin Wentian transmitted his voice. Luoshen Yu’s cultivation base was crippled but he was still moving as freely as a mortal? This was originally an impossible thing. A crippled heavenly deity should have many terrifying wounds on their body, since Luoshen Yu wasn’t able to live on and didn’t die due to frailness, he must have depended on the resources provided by the Luoshen Clan. This was something Qin Wentian learned from Lei`er. Lei`er told him that his uncle has always been hating himself for not being strong enough.

Other than his uncle, there was still Lei`er, and many people in his grandfather’s faction who supported his grandfather. If his grandfather gave up on the position of the Luoshen Clan Leader, what would their fates be? Would they be forced out of the clan? Not only that, they still had to deal with a powerful enemy like the Qin Clan.

Heavenly deities are absolutely not invincible existences.

Qin Wentian could not be so selfish and make his grandfather give up everything for him, putting his uncle and Lei`er into a difficult situation.

“No way.” Luoshen Chuan decisively rejected. A world overlord against a heavenly deity? There would be no suspense. If Qin Wentian went down the mountain now, that would undoubtedly be a path of death. Qin Wentian was his grandson, the only son of his daughter.

“Grandfather, I’m leaving now. You take care.” Qin Wentian bowed towards Luoshen Chuan. After that, he turned his head and glanced at his uncle and Luoshen Lei. At the next moment, a spatial gate appeared and Qin Wentian directly stepped through it, teleporting an unknown distance away.

“Wanting to leave?” Qin Zhong coldly laughed. His immortal sense swept through the void, extending outwards for an unimaginably vast distance!
