Chapter: 966 (2/2)

In this moment, he finally realized that this guy was very powerful and the rumors should be true. After all, they were but rumors; however, given that his young man could suppress him with just his spirit energy alone, it showed that the young man was much much stronger than he was.

Zheng Tongxuan’s body started to tremble slightly and the perspiration on his face was as if he had just washed his face and hadn’t dried it. They continued to drip down on the ground.

Qing Shui continued to look at him, smiling as he increased the impact of his spirit energy at a constant rate. He wanted to crush this guy’s sense of superiority and let him understand the reason he was here now.

Zheng Tongxuan tried his best to hang on, hoping to at least be able to withstand the pressure from Qing Shui’s spirit energy. If he couldn’t even withstand this, it would be a great humiliation. His battle will from earlier had disappeared and right now, he didn’t dare to fight against Qing Shui.

Qing Shui continued to look at the man and after a short moment, Zheng Tongxuan’s eyes flowed as he looked at Qing Shui. There was a bitterness and beseechment in his eyes.

Now that things had come down to this, Qing Shui would usually give his opponents some leeway. This was also why he didn’t use his spirit energy to cripple the man directly. Some people could possibly end up doing crazy things, that was, unless you were to eradicate every single person.

If he hadn’t planned on eradicating right down to the roots, he would try to give some leeway. What he had done was sufficient. Regardless if it was ordinary people or an aristocrat clan, everyone showed admiration for the strong. Qing Shui had demonstrated his horrifying powers and Zheng Clan’s clan head had came down himself. This was enough to explain everything. Earlier, he just didn’t believe Qing Shui’s abilities.

Right now, Zheng Tongxuan really couldn’t take it anymore. He felt helpless and resigned himself to be subjected to humiliation. He was not as strong as Qing Shui and was even the one to provoke him to begin with. However, if he were to be forced to his knees today, it would leave a shadow in his heart in the future, causing him to come to a standstill in the pursuit of martial arts.

The moment his legs bent, the tremendous pressure disappeared. Zheng Tongxuan abruptly lifted his head and looked at Qing Shui gratefully.

“I trust that you know what you should do in the future. If anything were to happen to Hai Clan, I’ll look for Zheng Clan,” Qing Clan smiled and said, releasing a great amount of aura.

This time around, his aura was not directed at anyone but he had just unleashed all the aura from his body. Zheng Tongxuan almost dropped to the ground and he put his fists together, bowing down to Qing Shui in great fear.

“I trust that you know what you should do. Qing`er is my wife and Hai Clan is Qing`er’s home. Today, I won’t keep you here any longer,” Qing Shui said calmly.

“Sir, Madam, I’ll leave right away. This time around, Zheng Clan is at fault and we thank you for showing us mercy. In the future, if anyone were to do anything to Hai Clan, they’ll have to get past our bodies first.” With that, he bowed repeatedly before leaving.

Zheng Tongxuan was extremely clever and thus he wouldn’t let go of this great chance to suck up to Qing Shui and to show his loyalty.

Hai Dongqing and the others had not regained their senses yet. They had also felt Qing Shui’s aura from before and only felt that it was very powerful. However, they had no idea how powerful it was. They only knew that Zheng Tongxuan was very strong and it was said that he had just attained a breakthrough to become an early Martial Emperor. To think that he had been pinned down by Qing Shui’s aura earlier.

“How strong is he actually?” Hai Dongqing looked at Qing Shui in a daze.

“Alright, stop looking. Haven’t you seen enough yet?” Qing Shui grinned and said to Hai Dongqing.

When Hai Dongqing saw Qing Shui’s smile, she rolled her eyes and turned away.

In the late morning, a few beast carriages stopped at Hai Clan’s entrance. The people who came in said that they were from Zheng Clan and were here to present gifts as an apology…

With that, everyone in Cold Ice City knew that Zheng Clan had apologized and the bigger clans even knew that Zheng Clan from Tonghai Country’s clan head had gone to Hai Clan personally!

…

“If you really can’t bear to part with me, you can leave with me and let your elder brother take care of Hai Clan.” Qing Shui smiled and said to Hai Dongqing who couldn’t bear to let him leave.

“I can’t bear to part with you but I can’t leave. I might go and look for you in the future.” Hai Dongqing said gloomily.

“Your husband is leaving. Cheer up. I promise that I’ll definitely come to visit you.” Qing Shui tapped on her straight and upright nose.

“I’m already very happy. I had thought that you’d never come,” Hai Dongqing smiled and said. This time around, her smile was very brilliant.

Qing Shui gave her a kiss and left. Since he was going to leave, he should be more decisive. He didn’t wish to see Hai Dongqing’s sad look.

Hai Dongqing smiled gracefully, sending Qing Shui off. It was only after she couldn’t see Qing Shui anymore that the smile on her face had disappeared.

…

Qing Shui had left. The reason he had left Zheng Clan alone was so that they could be a shield for Hai Clan. At least for now, this was still necessary for Hai Clan. Therefore, Qing Shui gave them leeway. And with Zheng Clan’s clan head expressing his determination, it was all good.

Qing Shui wasn’t planning on heading for Di Clan but flew toward where Old Madam Mo was. After so many years had passed, he wanted to see if she was still fine and if she had made any plans. Now, he had gotten stronger, so he wanted to see if there was anything he could help her with.

His Nine Continent Boots was something which Old Madam Mo had given to him.

From here to Old Madam Mo’s Village of Mo Clan and from there to Di Clan, the journey was not very far. There wouldn’t be any detours. Seeing that it was late, Qing Shui decided to just use the Nine Continents Steps.

After using the leveled up Nine Continents Steps twice, he wasn’t that far away. He called out the Fire Bird and it didn’t take him long for the familiar mountain peak to come into view.
