Chapter 681: 0682 Take Away! (Third Update)

Your opinion?

All eyes turned toward Ye Qiu, revealing sneers of disdain.

Between the two ancient clans, Ye Qiu was just a small pawn; neither the elders of the Tang clan nor those of the Shi clan had ever cared much about him.

To them, the fact that Ye Qiu could defeat Mu Cannan and Shi Qingbing merely indicated that he was a young martial artist with somewhat higher talent. Ye Qiu’s attitude meant nothing to them; a legendary realm martial artist was hardly going to turn the heavens upside down.

"Ye Qiu, this is a conversation between the elders of the Tang clan and the Shi clan, it’s not your turn to express an opinion. I haven’t even asked you, how did you appear here?" Elder Tang Feng said. As Tang Ze’s master, Ye Qiu had defeated Tang Ze in front of the entire clan, which was a disgrace to him as a master.

Therefore, upon hearing Ye Qiu’s brazen words, Elder Tang Feng immediately rebuked him.

Elder Tang Feng was a very serious elder within the Tang clan, and his rebuke startled even Tang Ze, his disciple. However, Tang Ze understood that his master’s words were meant to vent his anger on his behalf and would do everything possible to keep Ye Qiu there.

While others feared Elder Tang Feng, Ye Qiu felt no such fear towards the elder, but rather a sense of repulsion. Apart from the man being Tang Ze’s master, it was mainly because he had always been against him. Ye Qiu would never be obsequious to someone who viewed him with hostility, unwilling to fawn over someone cold-shouldered.

"Elder Tang Feng, since you said this is a conversation between Tang Ze and the elders of the Shi clan, it’s irrelevant to me, then. In that case, you talk; I’m leaving," Ye Qiu said indifferently, and after making a bow, prepared to leave.

"Hold it right there!" The elders of the Tang clan and the Shi clan said in unison, and the path ahead was instantly blocked by Shi Qingchen.

"Do you elders still have something to say?" Ye Qiu asked, pretending to be clueless.

Irked, Elder Tang Feng and the others immediately said, "You’re not allowed to leave. You cannot leave before this matter is resolved."

Ye Qiu spread his hands and said calmly, "I’m unaware of any matter I need to resolve. Isn’t it the Tang clan and Shi clan that are in discussions now? I, Ye Qiu, am neither a disciple of the Tang clan nor related to the Shi clan. The demand to prohibit me from leaving is somewhat excessive, isn’t it?"

Ye Qiu’s quick-witted retorts left Elder Tang Feng at a loss for words to defend himself for a moment. It was then that Tang Heshan took the initiative and said, "Young Brother Ye, the Shi clan has come to our Tang clan to demand accountability because of you. I hope you don’t hold it against Elder Tang Feng for taking out his anger on you; after all, this matter is ultimately related to you."

"Indeed, you cannot just let you injuring our clan’s genius slide," said an elder from the Shi clan.

Ye Qiu turned his body to face the elder of the Shi clan and said slowly, "I thought that the Shi clan, being one of the three great ancient clans, would possess broad-mindedness. Yet, I didn’t expect that, unable to accept a mere loss of their genius, not only did they refuse to accept the defeat, but they also dispatched an older generation powerhouse to settle scores after the fact. Is this indeed the style of the Shi clan?"

"If you can’t accept losing, just admit it. A grand ancient clan that lacks even this level of sportsmanship is indeed an eye-opener for me."

In a few sentences, Ye Qiu shifted the responsibility onto the Shi clan. In the eyes of the people of the Tang clan, everyone from the Shi clan there could feel their faces burning with embarrassment, except for the clan leader who remained serene, even though Shi Qingchen’s face grew exceedingly unpleasant.

"How my Shi clan conducts itself is none of your concern. You might have defeated our clan’s genius, but to cripple his Dantian, I believe it was intentional. Therefore, you must come back with me to our clan," said the elder of the Shi clan, staring at Ye Qiu.

"Esteemed elder," Ye Qiu said, "in a fight, punches and kicks have no eyes. I didn’t expect your clan’s genius couldn’t withstand my punch. Had I known he was so frail, I wouldn’t have exerted so much strength." On saying this, Tang Ze, Tang Hao, and a few younger members of the Tang clan couldn’t help but purse their lips, as Ye Qiu’s words considerably mocked the Shi clan. Being an elder of the Shi clan, he naturally understood the implications behind Ye Qiu’s words.

He couldn’t help but hum, "You might want to explain this to my clan."

The Shi clan elder intended to take Ye Qiu away, causing Tang Heshan, Tang Feng, and other elders to stand up. At this moment, the Shi clan elder glanced at them and said, "Are you trying to stop me?"

"Of course not, Shi clan elder, please don’t misunderstand. I merely wanted to see the elder off," Tang Heshan said insincerely.

"After all, Ye Qiu is a young friend of our Tang clan. I’d like to entrust him with a few words. Elder Shi wouldn’t object to that, would he?" Tang Heshan asked with a smile.

The Shi clan elder pondered for a while and then slowly nodded, "Fine, you have five minutes. I will take him away after five minutes."

Insistent, Tang Heshan gestured and called Ye Qiu over.

Tang Heshan didn’t say much, only giving one instruction, "Don’t tell anyone about the Emperor Level opportunity, for if you do, you will undoubtedly die."

Ye Qiu left with the people of the Shi clan, and Tang Heshan, Tang Feng, and others stood in front of the Tang clan’s gate in silence.

Once the figures had disappeared from view, Tang Feng turned to Tang Heshan and said, "Are we really just letting him go like this? The Emperor Level opportunity might end up in the hands of the Shi clan!"

Tang Heshan shook his head, "He is a smart man. I didn’t say anything just now, I merely reminded him. By not speaking out, he can live. Should he speak up, the Shi clan would certainly silence him."

"Oh?" Tang Feng and the other elders were surprised, yet they still had some concerns. "If the kid really talks, wouldn’t the opportunity still be handed to someone else?"

Tang Heshan’s gaze sharpened as he said indifferently, "That’s why I’ll have to trouble the elders to make a move. Before he divulges the opportunity, we need to snatch him from the Shi clan’s hands. As long as we get him out, the Shi clan will have no reason to come to our Tang clan demanding his return!"

Upon hearing Tang Heshan’s words, the elders showed a hint of intrigue. This plan was indeed excellent. No wonder Tang Heshan hadn’t tried to stop the Shi clan from taking Ye Qiu away. His plan was already in motion: as soon as Ye Qiu left the Tang clan’s domain, the Tang clan elders would strike covertly. If Ye Qiu went missing, the Shi clan elder couldn’t blame the Tang clan, because without being caught in the act, he couldn’t fault the Tang clan.

Furthermore, facing the Shi clan’s suspicions, the Tang clan could simply respond that many were interested in Ye Qiu; the ancient land was filled with myriad clans vying for him.

As Ye Qiu was taken away by the Shi clan elder, he had no idea what would happen next or the Tang clan’s plans, but he had already begun to strategize about how to leave the Shi clan’s presence.

If he were really taken to the Shi clan, then even with wings, Ye Qiu wouldn’t be able to escape. That would truly be tragic.

While walking among the group, Ye Qiu touched the Sumeru bag at his waist, wondering if his escape from these people would depend on what was inside the bag.

Watching the Shi clan elder in the lead, Ye Qiu felt a bit worried. He feared the elder’s strength might exceed his expectations. If even the mighty sculptures couldn’t deal with him, he would have to risk using the power of darkness.

Just as Ye Qiu left the Tang clan’s territory, followed by the Shi clan members, a shadow closely observing the Tang clan’s movements couldn’t help but follow them out and hid behind the group.

"What sort of game is the Tang clan playing?" the shadow mused thoughtfully.
