<h4>Chapter 1858: Going Down the Mountain</h4>
<strong>Trantor: </strong>Lordbluefire <strong>Editor: </strong>Lordbluefire
A heavenly deity from the Qin ning here to visit the Luoshen n? Luoshen Chuan naturally understood that there was a spy in the n who leaked the news.
He felt some disappointment, although the Luoshen n was in the midst of an internal warfare and there was a conflict of power, this was still a matter of the Luoshen n. The Qin n and the Luoshen n 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 n. How could he not feel heartache at this?
Although he knew about the other faction wanting to seek peace with the Qin n after seizing power, he was still very disappointed. The reason for seeking peace was evident to all, it was because the Luoshen n now was no longer as powerful as the Qin n. If not, how could a heavenly deity from the Qin n 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 n.
“Someone of the Qin n actually dares toe 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 ns. 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 n back. I’m sure the Luoshen n 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 ce 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 Wentiannded in the Qin n, it was almost a certainty that he would never be able to leave there again.
“I naturally know what sort of ce the Luoshen Mountain is. Also, I mean no disrespect when Ie here this time. Qin Yuanfeng was a traitor to our Qin n, I’m here to bring his son away. Does the Luoshen n intend to shield Qin Wentian?” Qin Zhong’s voice turned cial.
“On the Luoshen Mountain, the Qin n has no qualifications to act brazen.” Luoshen Chuan spoke.
“Luoshen n Leader’s attitude is so imposing. Is the Luoshen n nning to obstruct me from bringing the traitor’s son back? If the Luoshen n is nning to do this, I will have to stay for some time in Luo City and inform experts of the Qin n toe here and seek guidance from the Luoshen n.” Qin Zhong coldly spoke, his tone filled with threat.
“Are you threatening me? When has my Luoshen n ever feared the Qin n?” 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 n isn’t afraid of the Qin n, 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 n and was extremely brazen, even threatening the descendants of our n, killing a hegemonic-level world overlord. Now, you want our entire Luoshen n to contend against a powerful enemy just for him? I’m afraid I cannot agree.”
“n 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 n. 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 n to hand over Qin Wentian.
He sighed in his heart. Seems like for the position of the n leader, Luoshen Mu was willing to use all underhanded methods, even to the extent of joining forces with their mortal enemy, the Qin n 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 nes to the Luoshen n 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 n to protect someone who killed a member of our Luoshen n. 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 n. If the Qin n 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 n 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 n.” Qin Zhong calmly spoke. As expected like what Qin Zheng has said, Luoshen Mu would help him. He coldlyughed in his heart. The Luoshen n 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 n, elder brother told my faction to stop and consider the whole situation, not wanting our Luoshen n 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 n Leader, all your actions and decisions would represent the fate of the entire n, representing our attitude. You should understand what to do. You shouldn’t be partial due to your private matter and involve the entire Luoshen n into this mess.” Luoshen Mu calmly replied, as though if Luoshen Chuan said no, Luoshen Chuan would be betraying the entire Luoshen n.
“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 n leader’s position. As long as he wasn’t the n leader, his attitude wouldn’t represent the entire attitude of the Luoshen n. Hence, the entire n 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 n. 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 n Leader and escort him away under his own name, and not as the Luoshen n Leader.
“Despicable.” Luoshen Yu’s wrinkled face shed 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 waspletely unscrupulous.
Luoshen Lei’s beautiful eyes shed with anger and worry. A heavenly deity from the Qin n has descended and was applying pressure for their Luoshen n to hand her elder brother over. Qin Wentian would face a cmity 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 n, silently protecting it. Although all the decisions of the Luoshen n 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 n’s matters but they had the authority to decide on things that would affect the n. 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 shed 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 n.
“The person who spoke out earlier is a heavenly deity of our Luoshen n, 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 n 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 shed in them. “No.”
This single word caused the entire Luoshen n 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 n, 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 n, 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 n Leader really preparing to interfere with matters of the Qin n? If this is so, my Qin n naturally will send experts here to the Luoshen Mountain to seek an exnation.” Qin Zhong was a heavenly deity, how could he not understand the games of power being yed 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 nced at him only to see Qin Wentian smiling, “Grandfather, I originally already nned 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 n. 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 n Leader, what would their fates be? Would they be forced out of the n? Not only that, they still had to deal with a powerful enemy like the Qin n.
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 nced 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 coldlyughed. His immortal sense swept through the void, extending outwards for an unimaginably vast distance!
