Chapter 437 – A Goal to Chase (2/2)

Qiu Zhi Jun reported: “The Vibrating Mountain Army have already entered Ursa Major Constellation, and will very soon meet Tang Tian and the rest.”

“Such a pity that we will not be able to watch the fight live, it truly is regretful.” Sima Xiao’s face was somewhat sad, his fingers flying quickly over the pastries, the pastries flying quickly into his mouth.

“Wang Ye’s evaluation of Long Zhu and his people, is that they are subtly sophisticated, calculated their plans well, and their ambitions are big.” Qiu Zhi Jun glanced at Sima Xiao: “Such a person, even if he paid allegiance to us, most likely he would double cross us.”

Sima Xiao laughed: “Are you still counting on his loyalty? The bigger the ambitions the better, the bigger his ambitions, the more he would act. And with his ability, I cannot ask for more. I can help him become Draco Master, but control? I never even thought about that before, controlling the Polar 5 domains. That sort of poor and broken place, I wouldn’t even want to go there.”

“That means, your target, is most likely Tang Tian!” Qiu Zhi Jun was taken aback: “Speaking about it, I always felt that it was weird. Tang Tian does not have any conflict with us at all, they are minding their own business, we are minding our own. I do not understand why you are always paying attention to them, even more. maybe afraid of them.”

Sima Xiao stopped, placing the pastry in his mouth back onto the plate, his expression turning serious: “Because I think highly of them.”

“Think highly?” Qiu Zhi Jun was surprised: “Lupus Constellation is but just a fallen Constellation of the Southern Sky, and Andromeda Constellation is just a Northern Sky Constellation. With such a small power, I truly am unable to see, what is worth for you to fear or think highly of Tang Tian.”

Sima Xiao frowned, and after a while: “Actually I too do not know why. But, every time I see Tang Tian, or even hear information about him, I always feel that he will pose as a threat to me in the future.”

That caused Qiu Zhi Jun to be even more surprised: “Tang Tian’s strength is good, his potential is huge and is a famous martial artist. That, I admit. But for you to even view him as an opponent, I cannot comprehend.”

Qiu Zhi Jun continued: “With your personality, to have already viewed him as an opponent, then you definitely have settled things prior. I understand it now, Long Zhu is an enemy prepared by you for Tang Tian right?”

“As expected of senior brother!” Sima Xiao’s face exposed a harmless and bright smile: “Since I feel the threat, I will definitely view him as one. Danger should always be nipped in the bud, that is for the best. If he dies, then that is over.”

“And if he wins?” Qiu Zhi Jun suddenly asked.

“Then he will be attacked from all sides.” Sima Xiao casually took up another pastry and sent it into his mouth: “Long Zhu may be able to take Ursa Major Constellation, but for him to defend it, that is hard to say. And if Tang Tian takes Ursa Major Constellation, then the people around him will definitely be jealous. Such a big piece of meat, who wouldn’t want a piece of it?”

“Your methods are truly vicious.” Qiu Zhi Jun frowned.

Sima Xiao laughed: “Wrong, I am not vicious, and it is not unscrupulous. As long as I can win, if it needs to be just and honorable, I will make it just and honorable. Furthermore, I am very interested in Tang Tian’s spirit generals, if we can create an even more powerful spirit military leader, then that would be powerful.”

“Are you planning to join the routine clan elder meeting?” Qiu Zhi Jun asked.

“For?” Sima Xiao replied disapprovingly: “a quarrel between old heads, and talking nonsensical things, it is a waste of time. Oh, they are too old, and old is unable to catch up with this generation. It is ok if they are old, but if they are also stubborn, that is stupid. Furthermore, I do not like people without ambitions.”

Qiu Zhi Jun knew of the fate of the two clan elders, and suddenly said: “Of the 12 seats, you have already gained the support of 9 of them, I am curious, why you have not taken the position of the Union Master.”

Sima Xiao continued to stuff food into his mouth, without raising his head: “What good is that position? It is merely a puppet, I do not want it. Even the patriarch of the Sima Family, I do not want it either, let another branch do it. It is good as we are, we can do what we want to do. No one will refute us, and you can use other people as excuses, where else can we find such a good thing?”

Qiu Zhi Jun suddenly said: “Who do you think will win, Long Zhu or Tang Tian?”

“I do not know.” Sima Xiao shook his head: “But Wang Ye took our latest spirit general, I am very curious how they will perform.”

Qiu Zhi Jun was taken aback: “aren’t their skills not matured yet?”

“Yes, they are not matured yet, so we are bringing them for live tests.” Sima Xiao suddenly stopped, and said unhappily: “We have wasted too much time. We have finally expanded out an original battle tactic with much difficulty, and after being refined for one whole day, we have wasted too much time with the internal squabbles. If we have instead placed our focus on researching more powerful spirit generals that time, we would be so much stronger now!”

“Do you think this path is walkable? Powerful spirit generals and weak martial artists never have a good ending.” Qiu Zhi Jun was a traditional martial artist, he was fine talking about spirit generals, but he did not really like it either. And for the Clan Union that chose the route of spirit generals, to him, it was already a deviating path.

“Who knows.” Sima Xiao looked at his senior brother and laughed: “But, it is worth the risk. This is the only opportunity Clan Union has sprung up with, compared to martial techniques and treasures, we cannot fight with Honorable Martial Group. Comparing armies, we cannot fight with Leo Constellation. Comparing blood meridians, we cannot fight with Onyx Soul. So we still need something we can call our own, to be even stronger. Although we are walking into the unknown, but at least from the looks of it now, it is the most plausible route.”

“Actually, it is more like you do not want to bend your knees to them right, even if it was Honorable Martial Group, Onyx Soul or Leo Constellation, you are still unwilling to lower your head to them.” Qiu Zhi Jun said indifferently: “Teacher said your personality is one full of pride, he is truly right.”

Sima Xiao laughed: “In the end, us humans need a goal to chase after, afterall.”
