Chapter 189 - The Four Great Clans (2/2)

“Err… Acknowledged.”

Qin Tian was first to nod his head, despite being cautious, he did not show any sign of being intimidated, displaying his demeanor.

Qin Nan rolled his eyes at Princess Miao Miao, before he smilingly said, “Father, Uncle San, I’m here because I’ve accepted a quest, and will be heading to the Longhu Mountain Rage to hunt some beasts. I’ll spend more time with you two after I finished my task.”

Due to his debts, although Qin Nan had just returned to his clan, he could not help but focus on paying his debts first, as he would feel better if he was debt free.

“You are heading to the Longhu Mountain Range?”

Qin Tian was slightly startled, who then shook his head firmly and said, “No way, you can’t go to the Longhu Mountain Range now. The entire mountain range is sealed by the Four Great Clans. If they see you there, they will kill you on the spot.”

“The Four Great Clans?”

Qin Nan frowned his eyebrows.

Since when had these Four Great Clans appeared in the Luohe Kingdom?

Beside him, Tie San nodded his head and said with a sigh, “Yeah, the Four Great Clans have existed since the Luohe Kingdom was established. As these Four Great Clans have been guarding the boundaries of the kingdom for a long time, they were conferred the titles of the Four Great Clans, changing their surnames to Dong, Nan, Xi, and Bei[1]. Although these Four Great Clans are incomparable with the top four sects, each clan does have a Martial Emperor Realm expert, not allowing ordinary people to trouble them.”

“I see…”

Qin Nan instantly came to a realization.

In the Luohe Kingdom, apart from the top four sects, there existed Martial Clans of different scales, and these Four Great Clans were considered to be situated at the top of the hierarchy among these Martial Clans.

“Father, Uncle San, don’t you worry. These Four Great Clans would not dare to hurt me due to my identity as a disciple of the Mystic Spirit Sect.” Qin Nan let out a calm smile, as he could ignore the presence of the Four Great Clans with his current identity.

Qin Tian and Tie San both shook their heads after hearing the words.

Qin Tian spoke straight away, “Nan’er, you’re wrong this time. Normally, the Four Great Clans would not dare to offend you, but it is different this time. A while ago, a phenomenon consisting of cries of dragons and roars of tigers took place in the Longhu Mountain Range. The Four Great Clans immediately sent their whole clans over to the mountain range after knowing about the incident. From the looks of it, even if the outer disciples of the top four sects forced their way into the Longhu Mountain Range, although your life wouldn’t be endangered, you would still have to suffer physically if they caught you.”

“Longhu Phenomenon?”

Qin Nan ignored the rest of the explanation as his eyes flickered with excitement.

The Longhu[2] Mountain Range was named this way a long time ago because the cries of dragons and roars of tigers could be heard from it.

Since then, the multitudes only treated it as a legend, instead of believing it to be the truth. However, it seemed like there really was a phenomenon consisting of the cries of dragons and the roars of tigers?

“Something extraordinary is definitely taking place in the Longhu Mountain Range. Such a phenomenon was a sign of opportunities to find rare treasures…” Qin Nan said to himself.

Previously, he had obtained the Divine Battle Spirit at the Longhu Mountain Range, and now with this Longhu Phenomenon taking place, it could not only be a mere coincidence.

At that instant, Princess Miao Miao, who was quiet throughout the whole discussion suddenly spoke, “Hehe, what Four Great Clans, to have the guts to seal the mountain range? How daring! Patriarch Qin, Elder Tie, don’t you worry, these mere Four Great Clans are nothing before the Princess!”

Qin Tian and Tie San shuddered violently.

They were so worried about Qin Nan that they had ignored the presence of Princess Miao Miao. If she were to be involved, the Four Great Clans would surely no longer be a threat.

However, the two were unaware of the change in Princess Miao Miao’s tone, who had even addressed them with their titles.

There was no doubt that Qin Nan was aware of the change, who came to a realization as he spoke, “Father, Uncle San, don’t you worry. Now that Princess Miao Miao is here, there is no reason to be scared of the Four Great Clans.”

[1] TL Note: Dong, Nan, Xi, and Bei means East, South, West, and North, but since they are referring to the surnames of the clan, I am using their pronunciations instead of translated words, because there is no doubt that ‘Dong Clan’ sounds better than ‘East Clan’.

[2] TL Note: Longhu is a combination of Long and Hu, where Long means dragon and Hu means tiger.
