Ancient Godly Monarch

Chapter 1863: Humiliating Conditions

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

When Luoshen Chuan and his group found Qin Wentian and Qin Zhong’s battlefield back then, there were traces of might unleashed from heavenly daos. There was no doubt that Qin Zhong fought there. However, they didn’t manage to find Qin Wentian. They naturally assumed Qin Wentian had been captured by Qin Zhong. This was why they kept rushing throughout the day and night to the Heaven Region. However, when they reached the Heaven Region, they received shocking news that Qin Zhong actually died in the Desolate Region and the Qin Clan was sending an army to the Luoshen Clan?

What was going on exactly?

Who killed Qin Zhong and where was Qin Wentian now?

“Lei`er, you still can’t contact him?” Luoshen Chuan asked Luoshen Lei. Luoshen Lei has been attempting to use her messaging crystal to contact Qin Wentian but up until now, she didn’t receive any replies.

Luoshen Lei shook her head. She was very worried about her elder brother. Qin Zhong had died, but where had her elder brother gone?

“Clan leader, what about the Luoshen Clan?” Those experts from the Luoshen Clan who chose to follow Luoshen Chuan wanted to say something but they hesitated. Luoshen Chuan sighed and replied, “The Qin Clan had a heavenly deity that died in the Desolate Region. Although Luoshen Mu already proclaimed that this matter has no connection to the Luoshen Clan, how can the anger the Qin Clan felt over having one of their heavenly deities dying dissipate just like that? Even if they know this matter isn’t connected to the Luoshen Clan, the Qin Clan wouldn’t stop just like that. Luoshen Mu has brought a calamity on the Luoshen Clan.”

The Qin Clan sent Qin Zhong because Luoshen Mu informed them. And now that they have invited a pack of wolves into their home, who could the Luoshen Clan blame?

Now, they could only hope that the Luoshen Clan won’t suffer too many casualties. Even if Luoshen Chuan rushed back now, he wouldn’t be able to make it in time.

“Luoshen Mu’s heart isn’t pure. He would rather weaken the Luoshen Clan to seize power. Clan leader, why don’t you set up a separate clan and get the rest to submit once this matter blows over? I believe that after this calamity, many in the Luoshen Clan would wake up and see clearly for themselves what sort of character Luoshen Mu is.” An expert at the side suggested.

“If I do so, I would only be fragmenting the Luoshen Clan even more. The Luoshen Clan’s foundation might even collapse completely from that.” Luoshen Chuan’s expression was grim. The people around him all sighed in their hearts when they heard that. They could only hope that the Luoshen Clan was able to get through this calamity. After all, although these people had left the Luoshen Clan in support of Luoshen Chuan, those people who remained there were still their kin. The people they hated were only a small part of the whole. The vast majority were the ordinary members of the clan.

...

Just like what Luoshen Chuan has speculated, since the Qin Clan lost a heavenly deity, even if they really believed in the news sent out by Luoshen Mu that Qin Zhong’s death had nothing to do with the Luoshen Clan, the Qin Clan wouldn’t stop. Now that they mobilized the Qin Army, how can they simply leave just like that? If they did so, how would the people of the world view the Qin Clan? In the future, wouldn’t anyone would dare to offend the Qin Clan then?

At this moment, the Luoshen Clan had to give them an answer.

In the airspace above Luo City, divine might bore down on everything. This feeling was extremely clear on the Luoshen Mountain. In the airspace above the Luoshen Mountain’s peak, a group of experts descended from the sky. The man in the lead was none other than the Qin Clan Leader Qin Zheng. After Qin Zheng became the Qin Clan Leader, it was very rare for him to reveal his face outside the clan. However, there was no need to doubt his strength. When he was younger, he was already nurtured as a future successor of the Qin Clan. Back then, only Qin Yuanfeng could be comparable to him but the ending was that everything Qin Yuanfeng possessed was stripped off from him and transferred to Qin Zheng. Qin Zheng was the ultimate victor and became the Qin Clan Leader.

The Luoshen Clan’s experts also appeared. Luoshen Mu looked at Qin Zheng and glanced at the surroundings, “Since the experts from the Divine Ox Clan have also arrived, you might as well just show yourselves.”

“Haha, we only came to take a look. Congratulations to Brother Mu for becoming the Luoshen Clan Leader.” A boorish voice drifted through the air as another group of experts appeared. These experts all had muscular and sturdy builds, exuding a feeling of savageness. These were none other than experts from the Divine Ox Clan. Among them, several heavenly deities were present. Even the chieftain of the Divine Ox Clan personally appeared.

“Many thanks.” Luoshen Mu’s voice turned somewhat cold. This chief of the Divine Ox Clan personally came, it was clear that he had ill intentions. It was highly possible that he wanted to hit the Luoshen Clan when they are down.

“Luoshen Mu, Qin Zhong from my Qin Clan only came to the Luoshen Clan due to the information you sent. However, he actually died here. What do you intend to do?” Qin Zheng calmly asked, not giving Luoshen Mu any face at all, directly saying that Qin Zhong came due to the info Luoshen Mu sent them. By making this public, this clan leader Luoshen Mu would no longer have any face. After all, the Luoshen Clan and the Qin Clan already had a grudge since the past. Yet, Luoshen Mu colluded with the clan’s enemies to deal with Qin Wentian and Luoshen Chuan.

“Before this, I’ve already sent out news. I believed that the Qin Clan has received the news too that Qin Zhong’s death absolutely has nothing to do with my Luoshen Clan. At that time, Qin Zhong left to pursue the traitor’s son Qin Wentian. Luoshen Chuan wanted to leave to obstruct Qin Zhong but our Luoshen Clan stopped him, and delayed him with the abdication ceremony. At that time, all the heavenly deities of my Luoshen Clan were present, not a single one of them left. Hence, it is impossible for Qin Zhong’s death to be connected to my Luoshen Clan.” Luoshen Mu replied.

“Qin Zhong has already died, there’s no proof to validate your words hence you can say what you want to? No matter what, it’s true that Qin Zhong died after he came to the Luoshen Clan. I find it hard to believe that the Luoshen Clan has no connection to this matter.” Qin Zheng domineeringly spoke. “Luoshen Mu, for this matter, the Luoshen Clan has to give a satisfactory answer to my Qin Clan. If not, prepare to face the consequences...”

This was a stark naked threat. The expressions of the Luoshen Clan all turned very unsightly. No matter what, they were also a hegemonic power in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms and had once fought equally with the Qin Clan. Although they were weaker now, it doesn’t mean that they could be threatened like this. The Qin Clan actually sent out an army and wanted to pressure them by pressing their heads down?

“I invited Qin Zhong over to capture the traitor’s son because I wish to mend the relationship between both our clans. Clan Leader Qin should have understood my intentions, right? I also didn’t want Qin Zhong to die, but this definitely wasn’t something done by my Luoshen Clan. What sort of answer do you want?” Luoshen Mu spoke. When the Luoshen Clan’s experts heard his words, they couldn’t help but feel disappointment. Compared to Luoshen Chuan’s tyranny, Luoshen Mu’s aura was clearly weaker, as though he was willing to submit. This was simply extremely shameful, a humiliation to the Luoshen Clan.

Right now, as the Luoshen Clan Leader, Luoshen Mu didn’t simply represent himself, he represented the entire Luoshen Clan.

“In that case since you, Luoshen Mu, put it this way, if you can do the things I will state, I will believe you.” Qin Zheng spoke.

“Clan Leader Qin, please feel free to speak.” Luoshen Mu spoke.

“Qin Zhong was a heavenly deity from my Qin Clan, but he died in the territories near the Luoshen Clan. However, you, Luoshen Mu said that you wish to form a good relationship with my Qin Clan? Since this is the case, I want a heavenly deity from the Luoshen Clan to head over to my Qin Clan as a guest to indicate good will from the Luoshen Clan. Other than this, I also invite ten world overlords from the younger generation of the Luoshen Clan over to my Qin Clan to cultivate. When the Luoshen Clan completes these two matters, I will allow them to return. The first matter, get Luoshen Chuan to come to my Qin Clan and give me an answer. I suspect this incident has something to do with him. As for the second matter, capture the traitor’s son Qin Wentian and bring him to the Qin Clan. If he is alive, I want to see his person. If he is dead, I want to see his corpse.” Qin Zheng spoke.

When the experts of the Luoshen Clan heard this, they were incomparably enraged. Although the word used was ‘guests,’ they are nothing but hostages in reality. They wanted the Luoshen Clan to do their bidding and capture Luoshen Chuan to exchange for the hostage heavenly deity and capture Qin Wentian to exchange for the ten world overlords. This was simply a humiliation for the Luoshen Clan. If they agreed to these conditions, the Luoshen Clan would become the ridicule of the entire Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.

But if they didn’t agree, the Qin Clan most probably wouldn’t give up. There were still experts from the Divine Ox Clan at the side eyeing them like how tigers eye their prey.

A heavenly deity and ten world overlords. The Qin Clan wanted to ruthlessly diminish the Luoshen Clan’s strength. The Qin Clan also didn’t really want to start a war directly. Although they could win, their Qin Clan would have to suffer heavy casualties too. Hence, they made such a request, wanting to slowly weaken the Luoshen Clan. Taking a heavenly deity and ten world overlords, and not only so, the remainder of the Luoshen Clan had to capture Luoshen Chuan and Qin Wentian.

The chief of the Divine Ox Clan looked at Qin Zheng. As expected of the formidable Qin Clan Leader. Today, the Luoshen Clan had to agree even if they didn’t want to. And once they agreed to it, the Luoshen Clan would not only weaken, there would also be internal unrest and they wouldn’t be far from collapse. After all, their internal warfare just ended, the current Luoshen Clan now was extremely unstable.

“Qin Clan Leader, aren’t your conditions a little too over the top?” Luoshen Mu’s expression grew very unsightly.

“You are the one who said that you wish to have a good relationship with my Qin Clan. If you don’t agree with my invitation of a heavenly deity and ten world overlords coming to my Qin Clan as guests, I can only suspect that Qin Zhong’s death was caused by your Luoshen Clan. Since that’s the case, we can only start a war.” Qin Zheng solemnly spoke, radiating imposing might. In the air, waves of heavenly might engulfed the Luoshen Mountain. It was like as long as Luoshen Mu said the word ‘no,’ the Qin Clan would start a war immediately.

Luoshen Mu’s expression turned extremely ugly. The first major event that happened after he became the clan leader was the arrival of the Qin Clan declaring a war? Could it be that he had to agree to such humiliating conditions?

If they didn’t agree, could the Luoshen Clan bear the consequences?

“Uncle Han, are you willing to head to the Qin Clan to be their guest?” Luoshen Mu turned his head and spoke to an old man standing behind him. This was a heavenly deity of the Luoshen Clan. This person was once Luoshen Chuan’s supporter. When the old man heard Luoshen Mu’s words, his eyes suddenly flashed with coldness. Luoshen Mu wanted him to go to the Qin Clan?

To be a guest? This was merely what was said on the surface. Most probably after he headed there, his fate would be controlled by the Qin Clan completely.

“Uncle Han, our Luoshen Clan will take good care of your aunt, younger brother and younger sister. Also, for the world overlords that go over this time around, there will be none from your family.” Luoshen Mu transmitted his voice to the old man when he noticed the flash of coldness in the old man’s eyes. This sentence he spoke also constituted a threat. The old man was so angry that he clenched his fists tightly. Luoshen Mu then spoke out on the surface, “Uncle Han, if you are willing to head over for the sake of our Luoshen Clan, our Luoshen Clan will never forget your contribution.”

“Luoshen Mu, you are really excellent.” Luoshen Han icily spoke. How regrettable, he had switched from supporting Luoshen Chuan to Luoshen Mu. And now, he was actually betrayed by Luoshen Mu.

“I’m willing to go over.” Luoshen Han spoke. However, it was clear from his tone that he was extremely unwilling.

“Many thanks Uncle Han for considering the big picture.” Luoshen Mu nodded. After that, he named ten other world overlords who had been supporters of Luoshen Chuan before. They were all incomparably infuriated. In fact, some even cursed him out loud in public. However, after Luoshen Mu sent a voice transmission to threaten their family, all of them shut up. They knew that they had to go even if they didn’t want to go.

“Since the Luoshen Clan is willing to show good will, I will believe the Luoshen Clan. I hope the Luoshen Clan will properly accomplish the two tasks I’ve spoken of earlier.” Qin Zheng spoke, his voice ringing with the tone of command.

“My Luoshen Clan will naturally do our best.” Luoshen Mu felt incomparably humiliated. At this moment, the chief of the Divine Ox Clan laughed, “The ascension of a new Luoshen Clan Leader, what a joyous matter. How can we not celebrate this? My Divine Ox Clan is also willing to have a marriage alliance with the Luoshen Clan. The supreme character of my clan, Devilox of the younger generation, has always viewed the maidens from the Luoshen Clan very highly and wishes to marry several of them. I wonder if the Luoshen Clan Leader would agree to this marriage proposal?”
