Xin Wuji fixed his gaze on Qin Wushuang for a moment and asked, "Brother Qin, how's your reward for this trip?"
No wonder he was the son to the Heavenly Emperor. Although this Xin Wuji did not appear to be much older than Qin Wushuang, his imposing manner from head to toe made Qin Wushuang not dare to neglect him.
However, Qin Wushuang was not overwhelmed by this Xin Wuji. Instead, he revealed an unhurried smile. "Your highness, not to keep you in the dark, as soon as I had entered the Black Dead Sea, the other four joined forces and pursued me with full strength. What reward would I have gained?"
Xin Wuji was stunned, for he didn't expect Qin Wushuang would talk so bluntly. By the sound of his tone, he seemed to be in somewhat of a protest and slightly discontent. To not escalade the situation, Qin Wushuang maintained a smile when he said these words. This made Xin Wuji unable to know Qin Wushuang's true feelings.
He only smiled and said, "Before entering the Black Dead Sea, you guys all made a promise to chase and kill each other. Your life and death lies with the Mandate of Heaven. Therefore, even if you were chased unequally, it's allowed in the rules."
"Isn't that right? If you were scared, you should not have gone down in the first place. Didn't I warn you?" Lei Ming looked at Qin Wushuang with a somewhat despicable look. What use would it be to complain now?
As if looking at an idiot, Qin Wushuang shot a glance at Lei Ming. He asked with a baffled expression, "Did I say I was scared?"
"If you were not scared, then why are you complaining? You sound as though you have complaints," Lei Ming mocked him.
Qin Wushuang laughed. "What are you saying? I am only narrating a fact to his highness."
Lei Jiao moved the corner of his mouth and realized that it was difficult to retort to Qin Wushuang's words. On the other hand, Yan Guinan was feeling somewhat nervous and kept looking at the water. He truly hoped that Yan Zhuiyang and Lei Jiao would make their way out from the Black Dead Sea.
Even if they had not successfully killed Qin Wushuang, it would be no loss if they remain unharmed.
In spite of Qin Yunran's forthright appearance, his heart was as clear as a mirror. He asked deliberately, "Wushuang, when they chased to kill you, did you not express yourself?"
Upon hearing the question from Qin Yunran, Yan Guinan's heart truly throbbed. He also wanted to know how did this Qin Yunran respond and where were Yan Zhuiyang and Lei Jiao.
A slight ruthless smile flashed by the corner of Qin Wushuang's mouth. "Respond? The way I responded is exactly as any martial artist in the Tian Xuan Land would have done."
"Oh?" Qin Yunran and Qin Wushuang echoed one another as they deliberately blinked their eyes to pretend to be extremely curious. "Hurry and tell us, what did you do to them?"
Qin Wushuang asked Mu Rong Qianji, "Lord Mu Rong, the initial promise is that whoever found the bloodline of the dragon race would win, right?"
Mu Rong Qianji did not understand the reason behind his sudden question, yet he nodded with a subconscious mind. "Yes, I once promised that whoever acquired the bloodline of the dragon race and offered it to my Floating Snow House, he will be the number one candidate to be my son-in-law. I said it."
After Qin Wushuang had finished listening, he nodded and asked, "However, if no one could find the bloodline of the dragon clan, how would you determine the victor?"
Did not find the bloodline of the dragon race? Although it was something expected, a trace of disappointment had flashed across the face of Mu Rong Qianji.
He murmured, "If one did not find the bloodline of the dragon race, it would be difficult to determine; however, later on there was a promise between you warriors to allow a fight to the death. The person who walked away should be the winner, perhaps."
Although the Black Dead Sea was gigantic, three months of time was enough to do a lot of things.
"Your highness, is this the interpretation?" Qin Wushuang turned to ask Xin Wuji.
Per the promise they made before their departure, a fight to the death was allowed. If no one acquired the bloodline of the dragon clan or gain victory early in the stage, the only way to determine victory or defeat would be by life or death.
Thinking here, everyone felt shaken. They looked at Qin Wushuang with amazement, for clearly, they had realized something.
Yan Guinan asked with a low voice, "Qin Wushuang, what happened to Zhuiyang and Lei Jiao?"
Lei Ming also realized that the events were far from encouraging as he shouted, "You killed them?"
Appearing innocent, yet firm, Qin Yunran laughed and walked before Qin Yunran to block him. He said, "What? Are only your people allowed to chase and kill my disciple of the Qin clan? You would not allow a disciple of the Qin clan to fight back? Wushuang, don't be scared, just tell them what you have done. No matter what happened, today as the Chief, I will support you!"
A form of impatient hostility flashed in the pupils of Yan Guinan and Lei Ming as they glared at Qin Wushuang.
Appearing fearless, Qin Wushuang said coldly, "That's right, those four warriors joined hands to chase and kill me. After I saw through their strategy, I thought of a tactic and killed each one of them one by one. If you are still waiting for Yan Zhuiyang and Lei Jiao to come back, don't wait. Right, and then there is Hu Qiulan. I have killed all three of them. Unfortunately, there is one fish that escaped the net and I have no idea where he ran off to. If it wasn't for the fast approaching three month deadline, I would have never allowed that fish to escape the net and be at peace!"
Qin Yunran laughed. "Wushuang, I forgot to tell you. There is one more, but there is nothing you can do to him. It's because he has deemed himself an outcast and escaped back in the earlier stages. He said that he saw the way you dealt with Hu Qiulan and was frightened stiff. Then, he ran back."
At this moment, how would everyone still be in the mood to consider Wu Dingyuan, that army deserter? They were too busy thinking of how Qin Wushuang had taken out Lei Jiao and Yan Zhuiyang alone. The more they thought of this prospect, the more they were shocked. This Qin Wushuang was truly devilish.
For your information, although Yan Zhuiyang and Lei Jiao were not super smart, they were well-known figures among each of their sects.
If these two had joined hands and still could not deal with Qin Wushuang, even with the addition of the Supreme Dao weapons bestowed to them from their sects, the shock generated was apparent once he had validated this result.
With this revelation Lei Ming roared, "Impossible! Qin Wushuang, what are you bluffing about? Just with your background of the human countries, you can kill Lei Jiao and Yan Zhuiyang?"
Yan Guinan was different than Lei Ming. He narrowed his eyes and sized Qin Wushuang from head to toe. With his observation ability as a Supreme Dao elite warrior, with grief he had discovered that this Qin Wushuang was not bluffing.
Especially seeing a trace of content overflowing from the corner of Qin Wushuang's mouth, it seemed to state clearly that he had not even exerted all of his strength in the process of killing Lei Jiao and Yan Zhuiyang.
Inwardly, Mu Rong Qianji was also tremendously shocked. Could this Qin Wushuang be truly so outstanding? For your information, when Mu Rong Qianji met Qin Wushuang at the Crest Mountain of the Judgment Mountain Prefecture, he was only a young man that had just entered the Refined Void Martial Stage.
Now, in less than two years, this Qin Wushuang had matured to such extent. Not only had he assumed personal responsibilities, he had killed all four of those warriors in the circumstance of four elite Profound Void Martial Stage warriors against one!
Not to mention, Lei Jiao and Yan Zhuiyang were elite warriors with Supreme Dao weapons!
Mu Rong Qianhuan and Mu Rong Qianshan also looked at each other in dismay. Vividly, they realized that their standpoint was too clear-cut when they had opposed Qin Wushuang in the early stage.
This Qin Wushuang was much more powerful than they had imagined!
"Could it be another descendant in defiance of the natural order will appear from the Aspiring Mountain Qin Clan?" Now, such a thought flashed across Mu Rong Qianji's mind.
The bloodline of the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan had been passed from the immemorial stage. For several tens of thousands of years, they never left the Heavenly Emperor Mountain. Even at the most difficult of times, they were never pushed out of the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates.
Each time when the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan had fall to their lowest point, a disciple of the Qin clan would always withdraw from worldly affairs and save the clan from the calamity.
This Qin Clan seemed to have truly received Heaven's blessing. During the times where prosperity and decline had alternated each other, although it was tough for them to escape the heavenly law between rise and fall, they had always stood among the Heavenly Emperor Mountain. Among all the elite warriors in the Heavenly Emperor Mountain, they had never been defeated.
One must admit that this Qin Clan had a tough fate.
Revealing an incredibly grim expression, Yan Guinan was certain that neither Yan Zhuiyang or Lei Jiao were in this world anymore.
The murderer who killed them was Qin Wushuang!
Lei Ming refused to accept this reality. He only whispered, "I refuse to believe this… How much skill does this Qin Wushuang have? For sure he is bluffing. Qin Wushuang, you said you won, do you have any proof?"
Qin Wushuang said coldly, "Why would I need proof? When the three month deadline arrives, everything will be validated when they do not come up."
Yan Guinan said coldly, 'Qin Wushuang, are you pretending to be stupid? Or are you taking advantage deliberately?"
"Oh? Why do you say that?" Qin Yunran also could not understand and asked, "Yan, could it be you are intending to threaten the youth of my Qin Clan?"
Yan Guinan said with an indifferent tone, "Madman Ran, don't be arrogant. Even if Qin Wushuang has killed Lei Jiao and Yan Guinan, he should know when to stop and return those two pieces of Supreme Dao weapon to us. Could it be, he intends to embezzle them?"
Yan Guinan's words were his final attempt to test his theory. It was simple to know if the warriors were indeed dead by asking him to show them the Supreme Dao weapons that once belonged to them.
If Qin Wushuang had killed them, it would be impossible for him not to take away the Supreme Dao weapons if he could.
"Supreme Dao weapons?" Qin Yunran laughed intentionally. "For those things, have you seen them?"
Qin Wushuang knew that the Second Chief had said these words deliberately. He also revealed a puzzled look. "What Supreme Dao weapons? I had never seen any. Besides, even if I got them, what reason would I have to return it to you? Was there such a rule on the contract and the regulations?"
Clearly, the rule and the contract did not have such rule of how to proceed with the equipment if someone had died. Since there were no rules, they would handle it per the old tradition of the Tian Xuan Land. One would kill and take away any treasures in one smooth motion. Whoever killed the person would own the equipment.
The complexion of Yan Guinan had become rather gloomy as he said with a cold sneer, "Madman Ran, could it be your Qin Clan has the appetite to swallow the Supreme Dao weapon? Are you not scared of bursting your stomach?"
Qin Yunran was not ashamed of it. On the contrary, he was proud of it as he said with a naughty expression, "Yan Guinan, forgive me for speaking bluntly. For those pieces of the Supreme Dao weapon at the Heavenly Punishing Villa, how many was owned by the villa from the beginning? If I remembered correctly, when your Heavenly Punishing Villa had stepped up from being a third-rate powerhouse, you relied on taking away other people's goods through trickery, right?"
Before Yan Guinan responded, Lei Ming almost jumped. Qin Yunran did not even give Lei Ming the chance to open his mouth as he laughed ruthlessly. "Junior Brother Lei Ming should not jump. For the Sound of Thunder Sect, ten thousand years ago, such three words had not even existed. For the Supreme Dao weapon, would your sect not avoid being burned by holding it?"
When Qin Yunran said this, he cupped his hands into a salute at Xin Wuji, "Your highness, forgive me for speaking bluntly. If they had killed disciples of the Qin Clan, would they return the equipment of my disciples to my clan?"
Xin Wuji was baffled by this question. If he were to answer yes, it would appear that he was deceiving others and himself. It was a matter that would never occur. To lie through one's teeth would be a disgrace to his own intelligence.
If he were to answer no, wouldn't it be the same as speaking for the Qin Clan?
In between the time, Xin Wuji just muttered to himself irresolutely.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Xin Wuji fixed his gaze on Qin Wushuang for a moment and asked, "Brother Qin, how's your reward for this trip?"
No wonder he was the son to the Heavenly Emperor. Although this Xin Wuji did not appear to be much older than Qin Wushuang, his imposing manner from head to toe made Qin Wushuang not dare to neglect him.

The bloodline of the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan had been passed from the immemorial stage. For several tens of thousands of years, they never left the Heavenly Emperor Mountain. Even at the most difficult of times, they were never pushed out of the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates. Each time when the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan had fall to their lowest point, a disciple of the Qin clan would always withdraw from worldly affairs and save the clan from the calamity. This Qin Clan seemed to have truly received Heaven's blessing. During the times where prosperity and decline had alternated each other, although it was tough for them to escape the heavenly law between rise and fall, they had always stood among the Heavenly Emperor Mountain. Among all the elite warriors in the Heavenly Emperor Mountain, they had never been defeated. One must admit that this Qin Clan had a tough fate. Revealing an incredibly grim expression, Yan Guinan was certain that neither Yan Zhuiyang or Lei Jiao were in this world anymore. The murderer who killed them was Qin Wushuang! Lei Ming refused to accept this reality. He only whispered, "I refuse to believe this How much skill does this Qin Wushuang have? For sure he is bluffing. Qin Wushuang, you said you won, do you have any proof?" Qin Wushuang said coldly, "Why would I need proof? When the three month deadline arrives, everything will be validated when they do not come up."Yan Guinan said coldly, 'Qin Wushuang, are you pretending to be stupid? Or are you taking advantage deliberately?""Oh? Why do you say that?" Qin Yunran also could not understand and asked, "Yan, could it be you are intending to threaten the youth of my Qin Clan?" Yan Guinan said with an indifferent tone, "Madman Ran, don't be arrogant. Even if Qin Wushuang has killed Lei Jiao and Yan Guinan, he should know when to stop and return those two pieces of Supreme Dao weapon to us. Could it be, he intends to embezzle them?" Yan Guinan's words were his final attempt to test his theory. It was simple to know if the warriors were indeed dead by asking him to show them the Supreme Dao weapons that once belonged to them. If Qin Wushuang had killed them, it would be impossible for him not to take away the Supreme Dao weapons if he could. "Supreme Dao weapons?" Qin Yunran laughed intentionally. "For those things, have you seen them?"Qin Wushuang knew that the Second Chief had said these words deliberately. He also revealed a puzzled look. "What Supreme Dao weapons? I had never seen any. Besides, even if I got them, what reason would I have to return it to you? Was there such a rule on the contract and the regulations?" Clearly, the rule and the contract did not have such rule of how to proceed with the equipment if someone had died. Since there were no rules, they would handle it per the old tradition of the Tian Xuan Land. One would kill and take away any treasures in one smooth motion. Whoever killed the person would own the equipment. The complexion of Yan Guinan had become rather gloomy as he said with a cold sneer, "Madman Ran, could it be your Qin Clan has the appetite to swallow the Supreme Dao weapon? Are you not scared of bursting your stomach?"Qin Yunran was not ashamed of it. On the contrary, he was proud of it as he said with a naughty expression, "Yan Guinan, forgive me for speaking bluntly. For those pieces of the Supreme Dao weapon at the Heavenly Punishing Villa, how many was owned by the villa from the beginning? If I remembered correctly, when your Heavenly Punishing Villa had stepped up from being a third-rate powerhouse, you relied on taking away other people's goods through trickery, right?" Before Yan Guinan responded, Lei Ming almost jumped. Qin Yunran did not even give Lei Ming the chance to open his mouth as he laughed ruthlessly. "Junior Brother Lei Ming should not jump. For the Sound of Thunder Sect, ten thousand years ago, such three words had not even existed. For the Supreme Dao weapon, would your sect not avoid being burned by holding it?" When Qin Yunran said this, he cupped his hands into a salute at Xin Wuji, "Your highness, forgive me for speaking bluntly. If they had killed disciples of the Qin Clan, would they return the equipment of my disciples to my clan?" Xin Wuji was baffled by this question. If he were to answer yes, it would appear that he was deceiving others and himself. It was a matter that would never occur. To lie through one's teeth would be a disgrace to his own intelligence. If he were to answer no, wouldn't it be the same as speaking for the Qin Clan?In between the time, Xin Wuji just muttered to himself irresolutely.
