Chapter 414 Father and Son (III)

The sunlight shone over the main peak of Mount Li, passing through those sword glows that were like rainbows and resting on Qiushan Jun's body. It illuminated his pale face, his calm eyes, and his body dyed red by his blood. It was both beautiful and bloody, shaking people to the core.
In the end, no one could find a word to say and a deathly stillness continued to hang over the peak.
At this time, the only people with the qualifications to speak were this father and son from the Qiushan clan.
”Father, go home. We've already resolved this Mount Li matter.”
Qiushan Jun said to his father as he looked at him. His voice was very steady without the slightest trembling, but everyone could hear the pain within. In order to save the human cultivators in the Garden of Zhou, he had fallen into a coma spanning several weeks before waking, but his injuries were far from recovering. Now that he had stabbed his own sword through his abdomen, he had become incapable of enduring. If it were not for Bai Cai holding him up, he probably would have collapsed already.
The Qiushan clan head's gaze moved from the sword in his son's abdomen to his face, the sense of disappointment in his eyes growing ever stronger, so strong that it turned to indifference, becoming the ultimate apathy. He looked at Qiushan Jun and said, ”Just how much did the Qiushan clan pay so that you could have this reputation? In the end, you would actually use your life to threaten your clan, even if it would cause your clan to pay a terribly bitter price?”
Qiushan Jun said nothing.
The Qiushan clan head's body slightly swayed.
Ultimately, his apathy was only an act. How could he not be angry?
”How could my Qiushan clan produce such a thing, unfilial son!”
With these words, he turned around and began to walk away. He no longer looked at his son nor spoke to him. At the same time, he shouted two words.
”Do it!”
These two words made the entire peak abruptly become tense.
Everyone knew that these two words were meant for that Qiushan clan Guardian. Qiushan Jun was already so severely wounded that he was on the point of death—was the Qiushan clan head still not willing to give up?
The expressions of the two Discipline Hall elders flickered as if they wanted to say something. However, they chose not to speak in the end. On the other hand, the expressions of Xiao Songgong and that Elder Jiang from the Longevity Sect seemed to be very relieved. Although Qiushan Jun's choice had surpassed their expectations, as long as the Qiushan clan stood firmly at their side, this situation before their eyes would at the least remain under their control. That Qiushan clan Guardian with unfathomable cultivation had previously already brought this strength to its peak in order to prevent Qiushan Jun from raising his sword. Now when he heard the Qiushan clan head's order, he had no need to further adjust his breathing.
Just as the Qiushan clan head's two words had begun to resound in the ears of everyone present, the Qiushan clan Guardian had already acted!
He attacked with the Qiushan Stamp!
In the south, there was a Mount Autumn (Qiushan). It sat in the middle of a great plain, looking just like a giant stamp. The Qiushan Stamp was a type of palm technique, able to produce a profusion of falling petals and simultaneously attack several dozen enemies. And when this palm technique was trained to some extreme level, it would be like a mountain descending from the sky, continuously ramming against the plain with a vast and enormous might. (TN: A reminder that Qiushan translates to ‘Mount Autumn’)
This Qiushan clan Guardian was precisely the only expert in the past century that was able to cultivate the Qiushan Stamp to this extreme.
As the wind whistled through the mountains, the Qiushan Stamp broke through the clouds and descended towards the dwelling at the top of Mount Li.
Boom!
The Qiushan clan Guardian's palm heavily struck…the backs of the two Discipline Hall elders!
Those two Discipline Hall elders weren't on guard at all. They only felt a massive mountain striking them in the back and then vomited blood, soaking their snow-white beards and clothes!
At this time, the Qiushan clan head was just turning around, very casually waving his right sleeve as if he was waving away the depression in his heart and the anger brought about by Qiushan Jun's unfilial actions. No one perceived that the palm in the sleeve was stretching forward!
There was a light clap.
The Qiushan clan head's sleeve rose up and his palm noiselessly extended to lightly rest on Xiao Songgong's left shoulder.
Xiao Songgong gave a wrathful and shocked howl, bringing up his sword in an attempt to block, but just how could he be in time to block? That powerful and extremely pure true essence directly shocked his shoulder to pieces and then rushed in like a deluge into his sea of consciousness.
The moment before he fell unconscious, he finally realized that the Qiushan clan head had actually attacked him!
This man who was rumored to be extremely average and who had been completely overshadowed by Qiushan Jun actually possessed such terrifying strength!
The mountain winds were torn to shreds by frenzied Qi and incessantly shrieked. The two Discipline Hall elders sat cross-legged on the ground, continuing to throw up blood. Only by relying on their profoundly deep powers did they barely avoid death. Xiao Songgong was in an even more miserable situation. His shoulder was a mass of mangled flesh and he had collapsed into the chest of a disciple. Whether he was dead or alive was unknown.
The sound of wind gradually died down and the scene once again became deathly silent.
No one could comprehend just what exactly had happened.
No one could understand why the Qiushan clan head and that Guardian would suddenly attack those three elders.
The situation had changed too quickly, so fast that everyone had been caught unprepared and were all stupefied.
