AST 1378 – The Distinction between False God Realms, Battle, Yelang Wuji

Qing Shui was very calm when he spoke. He was clueless about the influence circle in the continent’s capital or to what extent it could reach. Even so, Qing Shui wasn’t that worried right now.

That was why he asked the question. By now, he still wasn’t certain about the old man’s intentions.

“I’ve said this before. If Physician Qing won’t cooperate with us, the Yelang Clan, you will definitely find it difficult to establish yourself here because you have made Yelang Clan lose face.” Yelang Qiankun was still happily smiling.

Qing Shui knew this answer. He was initially wondering why Yelang Clan didn’t try to get even but had instead suggested for a cooperation with him. But now, he understood. As long as they cooperated with each other, everything that had happened before would be dissolved because this cooperation would make it appear as if the Yelang Clan was powerful and that naturally, would make people feel that Yelang Clan wasn’t humiliated.

Qing Shui knew that if he didn’t want to cooperate, the Yelang Clan was probably the first who wouldn’t allow him establish here. The Yelang Clan was an influential clan. He reckoned that they normally wouldn’t be bothered with nobodies as those people would definitely be eliminated immediately.

However, Qing Shui wasn’t a nobody. The influential clans would definitely find out what Qing Shui had done in the Yehuang Country had they paid attention to him. Therefore, Qing Shui wasn’t someone to be trifled with, regardless for his strength or his art of healing. This was also the reason behind Yelang Clan’s initiative in treating him with due respect.

The Yehuang Clan was destroyed by this young man and another young woman. Although Yelang Clan was powerful, they didn’t want to simply provoke anyone. Now that word about this had gotten out including Qing Shui’s reputation, Yelang Clan couldn’t weaken their own reputation either.

“Let me tell you that I am capable of bearing the consequences of what I dare to say. Old man, the Imperial Cuisine Hall will not cooperate with anyone.” Qing Shui’s words had clearly conveyed his attitude. However, the choice was still Yelang Clan’s to make.

“I still hope you will reconsider about it, Physician. If you have made up your mind, feel free to pay a visit to Yelang Clan.” Yelang Qiankun stood up, without showing any signs of surprise. He seemed to have already expected Qing Shui’s answer.

After Yelang Qiankun finished speaking he stood up and went out.

Qing Shui neither moved nor spoke. When he had already conveyed his intention, he wasn’t going to change his mind anymore. Therefore, he didn’t feel the need to say anything else. He wasn’t going to show any mercy if anyone blindly came for him.

Since he had no position, then he would need to make a name for himself first. However, he was clueless of the greatest strength among Yelang Clan. Were there any martial cultivators beyond Third Grade False God?

The strength of a Peak First Grade False God cultivator was two million sun, a Peak Second Grade False God was four million sun, a Peak Third Grade False God was seven million sun and a Peak Fourth Grade False God was 11 million sun…

The peak strength of every realm was the sum of previous realm’s peak strength and the current grade multiplied by a million. For example, the strength of Peak Grade Five False God realm would be strength of Peak Grade Four False God, which was 11 million sun plus 5 million sun of Grade Five, which was equivalent to 16 million sun of strength.

Qing Shui possessed a paragon vessel now. The Paragon Heavenly Technique allowed Qing Shui to instantly kill any Peak Third Grade False God and below. Besides, there was also a weakening effect and being weakened by 30% was enough to demotivate anyone to hell.

He wasn’t too worried. He watched as Yelang Qiankun left. Not long after that, the other two ladies also returned to his side.

“Qing Shui, what should we do? The Yelang Clan is obviously trying to overpower us,” Yehuang Guwu said and took a seat beside Qing Shui.

“It’s no bother. I would really love to see how Yelang Clan plans to do this,” Qing Shui laughed. He wasn’t too worried. Even with the other two ladies with him, he still had room for maneuvering.

When the two ladies saw Qing Shui’s attitude, they weren’t too worried anymore either. Without realizing it, Qing Shui had already become their pillar of strength.

……

The next two days passed uneventfully. But Qing Shui had a hunch that something would definitely happen today. It was an intuition; an indescribable feeling. On top of that, it was very intense.

When it was late in the morning, Yelang Qiankun showed up once again. This time, not alone but along with more than ten others. Most of them were elderly but two among them appeared to be middle-aged.

Moreover, they didn’t come here alone this time. Before anyone realized it, many people seemed to have gathered around the courtyard. They seemed to know that something would happen here since long ago.

Qing Shui could tell where this was going. The Yelang Clan had come here to redeem their reputation.

Yelang Qiankun stood in midair. Qing Shui slowly ascended. Yehuang Guwu wanted to follow but Qing Shui made her stay down there and asked her not to get involved for now. He knew that as long as Yelang Clan couldn’t take him out and if Yehuang Guwu didn’t strike out on her own accord, they wouldn’t provoke Yehuang Guwu on their own accord either.

Qing Shui went up there and stopped less than a hundred meters across from Yelang Qiankun and the rest. To cultivators who had attained such realm, this distance hardly amounted to anything. They would still be able to converse without any issues.

“Physician Qing. So, have you given it a thought? As long you cooperate with us, Yelang Clan, you will definitely have nothing to lose.” Yelang Qiankun said with a smile.

The world of a cultivator was very simple. They sometimes appeared a little dim-witted to others and would brandish their weapon upon disagreement in the name of defending their pride. However, he recalled a saying from his previous world — excessive pride was just another form of inferiority.

Logically speaking, an influential clan should usually have a large capacity for tolerance. Yet he had no idea why in the World of the Nine Continents, the glorious ones simply couldn’t tolerate any dishonor. For the sake of their clan, a person’s life would seem so insignificant to them.

To Qing Shui, the current current state of affair was neither good nor bad. This was the culture and custom in World of the Nine Continents. Whoever didn’t comply would incur a certain loss and the extent of this loss might not be estimable.
