Qin Wentian and the Qiankun Sect Leader naturally wouldn’t reply to this. The Qiankun Sect Leader spoke. “No matter what, Qin Wentian cannot be allowed to land in the Qin Clan’s hands. If not, all his secrets would belong to the Qin Clan. It would then be impossible for any of us, the peak powers of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, to obtain them. It would be far easier for us to get them from Qin Wentian.”

The hearts of everyone wavered once more when they heard the Qiankun Sect Leader’s words. There was logic to his words. Although Qin Zheng has made a promise, saying that when the Heaven Vault reopens, all the experts from the peak powers could enter to cultivate, could this be trusted?

Before huge benefits, all words are empty. Once the Qin Clan breaks their promise, the difficulty of the peak powers pressuring the Qin Clan would be much higher compared to pressuring Qin Wentian. The strength of the Qin Clan evidently was much stronger than the other peak powers here. Hence, the Qiankun Sect Leader was justifiably worried.

“From your words, shouldn’t we hand Qin Wentian over to your Qiankun Sect then?” A cold voice rang out once again within the Qin Clan. A hint of anger could be heard within the voice.

“Just like how I don’t trust the Qin Clan, I believe the Qin Clan wouldn’t trust my Qiankun Sect so easily either.” The Qiankun Sect Leader calmly spoke. “Qin Wentian, why don’t you agree to open the Heaven Vault and allow everyone to cultivate in there? Maybe, you can find a chance to live.”

“Qiankun Sect Leader, do you believe that the hatred between me and the Qin Clan can be resolved?” Qin Wentian calmly smiled. “I have a suggestion. Today, since experts from many of the peak powers are present, why don’t you all help me raze the Qin Clan to the ground and resolve the hatred in my heart? Once 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 Qin Clan to freeze. Their gazes grew even colder when they looked at him. He actually wanted to incite experts from the peak powers of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms to act against the Qin Clan together?

The gazes of the experts flickered as they glanced in the direction of the Qin Clan. Although they felt slightly moved by the proposal, but they still feel trepidation in their hearts. They naturally had no problems handling ordinary heavenly deities from the Qin Clan. With an alliance of the other peak powers here, destroying the Qin Clan wasn’t an impossibility. However, the Qin Clan has a few extremely powerful existences which they could do nothing to. There would be endless trouble if they chose this path. It was still easier to deal with Qin Wentian.

Also, who would dare to take the lead? If one of the peak powers did so, that would be tantamount to shedding all pretense of cordiality with the Qin Clan.

“Your thinking is really wondrous.” A voice calmly drifted over. A beautiful figure walked over. She was clad in a long dress and was breathtakingly beautiful. It was none other than the number one celestial maiden of the nine heavens, the current Nine Heavens Mystic Palace Leader, the Nine Heavens Mystical Maiden.

Many people in the Qin Clan glanced at that figure as numerous thoughts filled their hearts. Naturally, they only dared to think about her beauty, because it was destined that no man would be able to obtain her.

“Since we can’t come to a consensus, how about handing Qin Wentian to me?” The Mystical Maiden spoke. It seems like even she couldn’t resist the temptation of the Heaven Vault and wanted to act to obtain it.

“Your thinking is nothing but a fantasy.” Qin Zheng’s wife calmly spoke. Both were beauties, she felt an innate hostility towards this number one celestial in the nine heavens, the Nine Heavens Mystical Maiden.

“Since everyone cannot come to a consensus, the answer is simple. Why don’t we cripple Qin Wentian first and force him to say the secret of controlling the Heaven Vault out in public? Are you all satisfied?” Qin Ding spoke again, his voice thundering through the skies. Many people nodded silently, this was a good idea. After all, Qin Wentian being crippled or not was not important to them.

Qin Wentian coldly smiled, “If I’m crippled, does everyone think that I can still live? I might as well die directly. Since everyone isn’t willing to accept my first proposal, why don’t I give another suggestion? I don’t need you all to destroy the Qin Clan, I only need you all to escort me safely to the Heaven Vault. Once we reach there, I will open the vault and allow experts from all powers to enter for cultivation. The Qin Clan is the only exception, they will be forbidden from entering. How does this suggestion sound?”

The eyes of everyone flashed but some experts stared at Qin Wentian, “You want to play a trick?”

“My person is here. You all can follow me there. How can I play any tricks?” Qin Wentian replied.

Many people were tempted. This suggestion was truly not 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 also heard it. Seems like we can’t allow Qin Wentian to be crippled by the Qin Clan.” The Qiankun Sect Leader spoke. The figure of the Mystical Maiden flashed like she was prepared to act at any moment. She then spoke, “I accept this suggestion.”

Entering the Heaven Vault for cultivation was their main goal. As for Qin Wentian, they didn’t feel too much hatred towards him.

“Is this the reason why Qin Wentian dared to come to the Qin Clan?” Many people mused silently. He actually wanted to use the other peak powers to block the Qin Clan for him. This was indeed a good idea but did Qin Wentian truly plan to open the Heaven Vault?

“What if I say our Qin Clan wants Qin Wentian for sure?” Qin Ding’s voice grew colder and colder. Today, if they allowed Qin Wentian to leave freely, this by itself would be a great humiliation. Qin Wentian purposely picked Qin Dangtian’s wedding day to cause a ruckus. This was an act of provocation. If he left safely after this, what did the Qin Clan count for?

Also, Qin Wentian said that all powers in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms could enter the Heaven Vault save for the Qin Clan. In this case, the Qin Clan would become the biggest loser. So, how could they agree to let Qin Wentian leave just like this?

“Senior, you are making things difficult for us.” The Qiankun Sect Leader spoke.

As the sound of his voice faded, that stifling pressure from Qin Ding became stronger. In the air, terrifying streaks of light flashed by, growing in number, until the entire sky was enveloped.

In the Qin Clan, a shocking might gushed forth. An explosive bang rang out causing the hearts of people to tremble, they could feel a trembling from their souls. This heavenly might was too powerful. There seemed to be a desolate primordial beast within the Qin Clan.

The entire atmosphere was incredibly tensed.

Finally, a figure appeared in the airspace above the Qin Clan. His expression was calm but he exuded shocking levels of heavenly might. It felt like any casual step he took would cause everyone to feel incomparable pressure. A strange-looking halberd could be seen in his arms. Streams of light and darkness revolved around him and the halberd like divine dragons.

The tip of the halberd exuded a level of power capable enough to devastate heaven and earth.

“The Judgement Halberd.” Countless people felt their hearts shaking. Earlier, their hearts wavered because of Qin Wentian’s suggestion and wanted to interfere with the Qin Clan to escort Qin Wentian safely away. But now, all of them instantly gave up on that notion.

Qin Ding of the Qin Clan was clearly angered. The halberd in his hand caused everyone to recall a particular rumor about the Qin Clan.

It was rumored that an ancestor of the Qin Clan that has a very high cultivation base, tried to pursue the ultimate dao but he failed in the end. Hence, he decided to merge his remaining life force and insights of the dao into a divine weapon. His life was the decisive material for this weapon. This divine weapon was passed on down to the Qin Clan’s descendants and it was known as the Halberd of Judgement.

Qin Ding himself was already extremely powerful to a shocking extreme. Now that the Judgement Halberd appeared in his hands, one could very well imagine how great his anger was. The Qin Clan today suffered humiliation after humiliation and now, Qin Wentian actually still wanted to use the peak powers here to deal with the Qin Clan.

Since his son Qin Zheng wasn’t able to control the crowd well, he will do it himself.

“Hand over Qin Wentian to the Qin Clan. Once the secret of the Heaven Vault is revealed, I will allow you all to enter for cultivation. Who dares to doubt my decision?” Qin Ding coldly spoke. This time, his tone was domineering to the extreme. Since speaking was useless, he decided to use the most direct method – a show of martial force.

Today, although experts from all over the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms gathered here, but in truth, there was still a difference in strength with regards to the peak powers of different regions. For example, the three hegemonic powers of the Desolate Region. There has been many changes to the situation in the Desolate Region, the strength of the peak powers there had quite a large disparity to the peak powers in the Heaven Region.

Now, the strongest expert in the Qin Clan, Qin Ding, walked out angrily with the Judgement Halberd. Who would dare to reject his words?

“Senior, are you forcing us to agree?” The Qiankun Sect Leader spoke. Although he was the Qiankun Sect Leader with an extremely high status in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, he was still of the junior generation when compared to Qin Ding. After all, he was the same generation as Qin Zheng.

“Don’t need to conceal yourself. Since you are already here, just come on out. What promise has Qin Wentian given you?” Qin Ding coldly spoke, his gaze turned towards the distance. This caused the eyes of many heavenly deities to flash. There was actually someone hiding in the shadows? This person seemed to be someone Qin Ding regarded highly. To think that they actually failed to sense the presence of this figure.

“Qin Ding, you are still as domineering as ever.” A voice rang out. After that, an old man flew over from faraway. Every step he took caused the space here to tremble.

Many heavenly deities stared at this old man in bewilderment, they had never seen him before. The beautiful eyes of the Nine Heavens Mystical Maiden flashed, she didn’t expect this old man would come here today. This was none other than the previous generation Qiankun Sect Leader, the master of the current Qiankun Sect Leader.

“It has been so many years. You have not died yet?” Qin Ding coldly asked.

“Haha, since you are still alive, how can I die?” The old sect leader laughed loudly. He stared at the punishment halberd in Qin Ding’s hand. “To deal with a junior, you actually chose to use this divine weapon?”

“Someone wished to humiliate my Qin Clan, I’m naturally unhappy.” Qin Ding spoke. After that, he turned his gaze downwards, “Earlier, I’ve already said what I want to say. Qin Zheng, capture the vile spawn. If there’s anyone who still tries to obstruct us, don’t blame me for not being polite.”

“Yes father.” Qin Zheng nodded. The divine punishment light shone again, incomparably resplendent. Chains formed from the divine punishment might directly shot towards Qin Wentian. There was no longer a need to waste words. Since the Judgement Halberd has already appeared in his father’s hand, the ending was already set.

A black rod appeared in Qin Wentian’s hands, his expression was extremely unsightly. Qin Ding’s domineering attitude had surpassed his expectations. A single sentence to stun the crowd, even heavenly deities didn’t dare to make any reckless moves. Right now, the ones who could block the Qin Clan for him, seemed to be only the Qiankun Sect.

RUMBLE~ Qin Wentian’s body expanded. The black rod in his hand grew larger as well. He stood in the air and resembled a true heavenly god. Since the battle couldn’t be avoided, let’s go all out then.
