Chapter 652: ConversationTranslator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations
The thin and weak-looking young lady was the daughter of the Tianmen Clan’s head. Fang Xingjian recalled having seen her at the Full Moon Shrine the other time, hiding between many other Elders of the clan.
When he killed the Enraged Lion and the Tianmen Clan’s head, this lady had shown no signs of fury, grieve, or sadness. He had thought that this girl had not had a deep relationship with the Tianmen Clan’s head, but it seemed that she was a deep and shrewd lady.
However, the other Elders present were extremely dissatisfied with Shan He’s reply.
This was especially so for the white-haired elderly man who was leading the opposition. He shouted, “Shan He, you’re really defiant and treacherous. Fang Xingjian killed your elder brother, your father, and your grandfather. Yet you aren’t even thinking of exacting revenge?
“Right now, the heads of the six great clans have attained the Divine level, and this is a rare opportunity that’s hard to come by. Instead of planning to seek revenge, you’re thinking of submitting to Fang Xingjian. I don’t accept you as the head of the Tianmen Clan.”
“Elder Ou Bai!” A man in black mourning clothes said angrily, “The young clan head is also doing this for the sake of the Tianmen Clan. Pardon me for speaking bluntly but with the powers Fang Xingjian displayed at the Full Moon Shrine, it’s an easy feat for him to take revenge on us even if he might not be able to take the six clan heads on. It’s really not a good decision to be offending Fang Xingjian over this.”
Elder Ou Bai let out a cold snort, saying, “After our seven great clans join forces, we’ll all move to the Holy Light Fort deep in the Northern Ice Region. The Holy Light Clan has a great formation that protects the mountain, and all of you should be clear about the Holy Light Fort’s proficiency in the area of formations. The Evil Spirit Sect just got some superficial knowledge from their clan, and they could already turn the entire Northern Ice Region over many years ago.
“If we keep ourselves hidden in that great formation, Fang Xingjian won’t even be able to hurt us in the slightest even if he comes in person.”
Hearing what Elder Ou Bai said, the few Elders who had supported Shan He previously hesitated as well.
It was true that Fang Xingjian was terrifying. However, if they could hide in the Holy Light Clan’s great formation and avoid Fang Xingjian, then it would be great.
Shan He said coldly, “The Holy Light Clan wants to swallow up the remaining six great clans. If we go, there probably won’t be a Tianmen Clan in the future.”
Elder Ou Bai laughed out loud, “The six great clan heads have attained the Divine level and shared their masteries. They’ve already reached a high level of success and possess an astonishing might.
“Moreover, the current top person in the Holy Light Clan in this generation, Bai Di 1 , is a person of extraordinary talent and can be said to be demonic. He hasn’t even reached 30 years of age but rumors say that he has already attained the Divine level.
“All six clan heads value him in high regard, and each of them has passed him their great arts. When they went into seclusion, they even handed all the management rights of the six great clans into his hands.
“Now, Bai Di has already contacted all the influential characters of the six great clans and will be calling to have a meet up in three days. The seven great clans shall support each other from now on, forming an alliance.”
“Bai Di?”
“I’ve heard of him before. It’s said that this person is the top person amongst the younger generation in the six great clans.”
“Lord Jacob praised him for being a talent that’s hard to come by once in even a thousand years.”
“It’s said that the other clan heads have taken him as their adopted son, and all of the younger members of the six great clan all see him as their leader.”
“The six clan heads have kept themselves in seclusion throughout the years to increase their mastery of their cultivation. In the future, Bai Di will probably be the one to take over the clans.”
At the thought of the six great clans joining hands with the Tianmen Clan… How immense would their power be when the seven great clans joined forces? It would be simply world-shaking, causing a situation that would create a stir in the entire Empire.
Hearing Elder Ou Bai’s words, the other Elders murmured amongst themselves. However, even Shan He was frowning with worry in her eyes.
