Chapter 412 – Father and Son (I) (2/2)

The Qiushan clan head answered, ”We want to sweep away Su Li and Su Li's shadow from Mount Li.”

Qiushan Jun asked, ”Why must you do it in this way?”

The Qiushan clan head expressionlessly replied, ”Only this way can we ensure that when Mount Li is passed into your hands, it is clean.”

Qiushan Jun was silent for a few moments, then said, ”Father, you know I am not this kind of person.”

The Qiushan clan head acknowledged, ”Yes, if you are not willing, let alone Mount Li, even if it was the world, you still would not want it. But you must be clear on one point. Su Li…will inevitably die in Xunyang City. If you want Mount Li to remain as strong as it was in the past, you should take hold of true courage and face this reality head-on!”

Qiushan Jun calmly replied, ”So I should hand over Junior Brother, ask the Sect Master to abdicate and take up the position myself, and only this way prevent Mount Li's internal strife, preserve its strength, plotting its future and for all ages?”

The Qiushan clan head said with gravity, ”Could this not be right?”

”If ignoring facts is required to face reality head-on, then this reality is inferior to ignorance. Because in the following days, who could ignore every decision they made? They would definitely regret it in their hearts.” He looked at his own father as well as the four elders and said, ”You are already old and can live on this reality for a little while longer, but we are still young. If we live, there will inevitably be many long years waiting for us. In the future years, I don't want to think about today and be filled with regret and pain, so I will not act according to your way of doing things.”

You are already old, but we are still young.

Their hearts were incapable of communicating, so their way of doing things would naturally be different.

Hearing Eldest Brother's calm and resolute voice, many Mount Li disciples suddenly felt like clear spring water was descending from the heavens. Their eyes grew moist and their sword hearts were washed until they shone clear and bright.

The Qiushan clan head looked at his own son, his emotions abnormally complex, so complex that it was hard to imagine. He was proud, yet sad. Proud of himself, and yet angry. For this day of chaos in Mount Li, the Qiushan clan and the Longevity Sect, as well as many powerful experts of the south, had planned for many days. How could they permit a single young man to cause its failure? Qiushan Jun was the son that he was the proudest of, the future of the Qiushan clan. But it must be known that this was not a matter solely involving Qiushan Jun. This was a matter that the Qiushan clan had been working at for one thousand years!

Ultimately, he made a decision.

He looked at Qiushan Jun and impassively said, ”Heaven and Earth.”

These were two very commonly seen words, but with the appearance of these words, the mountains all went silent. Even the sword glows seemed to dim by several degrees.

Because everyone already guessed at which classic these two words said by the Qiushan clan head originated from.

It was the extremely famous opening to one of the scriptures of the Daoist Canon of the Orthodoxy.

'Heaven and Earth', and then 'Father and Son'.

This was a principle of nature, the natural relationship between humans.

No person could resist.
