Chapter 388: The Little Schemes of the Celestial God Clan

Chapter 388: The Little Schemes of the Celestial God Clan

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed like a white horse crossing a crevice.

The dilapidated Yaochi Sacred Land, under the joint restoration efforts of many Imperial-level powerhouses, rose from the ground once again.

In the past, those great peaks could only be considered Sacred Artifacts.

With the help of Luo Xianxian and the various powerhouses of the Celestial God Clan, they were actually refined into existences comparable to Imperial Artifacts.

Just the eight great peaks alone meant that Yaochi Sacred Land now possessed eight Imperial Artifacts.

It could be said that the current Yaochi Sacred Land was a unique existence within the Ziyang Empire that was even more magnificent and luxurious than the Ziyang Imperial Palace.

On this day, the Ancestor of the Celestial God Clan, who had been eradicating the remnants of the Ziyang Imperial Family, returned with his team and immediately headed straight to the residence of Qin Xuan on Thunder Prison Peak.

His eyes were filled with indescribable excitement and anticipation as he said in a clear voice, "Young Master Qin, the remnants of the Ziyang Imperial Family have all been executed, including those noble families who were too deeply involved with the Ziyang Imperial Family; they have all been brought to justice."

"The remnants of the Nether Clan within the Mingyue Dynasty have also been completely swept away."

"What do you think, when shall we set off for the Grandmist Continent?"

In this world, the situation was already settled.

Continuing to stay here was, for the Celestial God Clan, tantamount to wasting time and squandering their years.

Before, there was no hope, and they could only stay, unable to leave.

Now that they had learned the method to reach the Grandmist Continent from Qin Xuan's mouth.

How could the Celestial God Clan still hold back?

As soon as they completed the tasks assigned by Qin Xuan, they rushed over impatiently to urge him.

Creak—

The door opened, and Qing Ning stood at the entrance, dressed elegantly. Frowning, she complained with great dissatisfaction, "Senior from the Celestial God Clan, you know what kind of great battle my Young Master just experienced."

"Although the strong enemies have all been suppressed and killed by Young Master, he is not made of iron; he gets tired and needs rest."

"It has only been a few days, and you are already urging Young Master to get busy again. Can you not wait a few more days?"

The Ancestor of the Celestial God Clan turned his head, and the many Imperial-level powerhouses all nodded.

"Miss Qing Ning is right," the Ancestor of the Celestial God Clan said with a smile. "Then shall we come back in a few days?"

A few days later, hearing that Qing Ning had been invited by Mu Qingxue of Wan Jian Peak and was currently a guest at Qingxue Pavilion.

The Ancestor of the Celestial God Clan arrived at Qin Xuan's residence again and had just knocked on the door.

Inside the room, a furious voice rang out.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

"Knocking from morning till night!"

"Is your Celestial God Clan ever going to stop?"

"Isn't it just going to the Grandmist Continent? Your Celestial God Clan has been in this world for who knows how many tens of thousands of years; can't you hold back for just a few days?"

Luo Xinyi opened the door, pointed at the Ancestor of the Celestial God Clan and his group, and scolded them, furious.

Was it easy for her?

Ever since the news of her staying by Qin Xuan's side was exposed, Mu Qingxue had been watching her like a hawk, sticking to her every step.

She had finally managed to trick Mu Qingxue into inviting Qing Ning for a late-night talk.

She took the opportunity while she was out to come to Qin Xuan's place to get some time.

As a result, the people from the Celestial God Clan were so tactless, interrupting her good time again.

How could she not be angry?

The Ancestor of the Celestial God Clan wiped the saliva from his face and said with a wry smile, "This matter is of great importance and requires careful consideration. If Young Master Qin needs anything, our Celestial God Clan can prepare it on his behalf and help with whatever we can."

Bang—

The door slammed shut, and Luo Xinyi said angrily, "The greatest help your Celestial God Clan can provide right now is to stop disturbing Qin Xuan!"

Having been rebuffed, the Celestial God Clan left with their tails between their legs once again.

A few days later, having confirmed that the hot-tempered Luo Xinyi was not on Thunder Prison Peak, they visited again.

This time, there was no verbal abuse.

The moment they knocked on the door, a domain-suppressing cauldron smashed out from inside the residence with a boom.

The Ancestor of the Celestial God Clan, caught off guard, was sent flying backward by the domain-suppressing cauldron.

"Soul-Devouring Body!"

"You've gone too far!"

"..."

Seeing their Ancestor injured, the powerhouses of the Celestial God Clan looked at Wu Bingqing with righteous indignation.

They were, after all, allies.

To resort to lethal force without a word was simply too heartless!

Wu Bingqing was a person of few words but ruthless actions; her eyes were filled with chilling coldness. "I'll slaughter you all!"

Just as the many powerhouses of the Celestial God Clan were preparing to retaliate, the Ancestor of the Celestial God Clan hurriedly raised his hand. "Run! Run quickly!"

This wasn't a matter of whether they could win or not.

It was that they absolutely could not strike back.

This Wu Bingqing had known Qin Xuan longer than Luo Xianxian in their clan had.

And Qin Xuan was exceptionally indulgent toward Wu Bingqing.

If this were in those Empires where imperial power was centralized, Wu Bingqing's status would be equivalent to that of a favored concubine.

And their Celestial God Clan was merely the in-laws.

Where would they have the qualifications to make an enemy of a favored concubine?

They had no choice but to leave with their tails between their legs once again.

— —

The next day, when Luo Xinyi, Qing Ning, and Wu Bingqing arrived together at Qin Xuan's residence, they once again saw the Ancestor of the Celestial God Clan and his group waiting outside.

"You again!?"

Luo Xinyi asked in great surprise, "I'm asking you, are you ever going to stop?"

"If Qin Xuan really wanted to go to the Grandmist Continent right now, would he need you to remind him?"

"Move aside, move aside, we have serious business to attend to with Qin Xuan."

The Ancestor of the Celestial God Clan gave a look, and several Imperial-level powerhouses blocked the path of Luo Xinyi and the others.

He said with a kindly smile, "After going back and thinking it over, I feel that Miss Luo and the rest of you are right."

"Young Master Qin is indeed overly exhausted, and our Celestial God Clan should not be disturbing Young Master Qin at this time."

"To prevent anyone from disturbing the Young Master, we will station ourselves here. If there is anything that requires Young Master Qin's attention, our Celestial God Clan will do our utmost to help!"

"Miss Luo, what is the matter? If our Celestial God Clan sends five Imperial-level powerhouses to assist you, will that be enough?"

Luo Xinyi looked back at Qing Ning and the others, muttering in her heart, "Did the sun rise from the west? You Celestial God Clan members are actually not thinking about urging Qin Xuan to go to the Grandmist Continent anymore?"

"However, your Celestial God Clan cannot help with this matter, either. Move aside, move aside."

The Ancestor of the Celestial God Clan did not leave, and the few Imperial-level powerhouses did not try to stop them with force, only using a barrier to block the path of Luo Xinyi and the others.

Qing Ning frowned and said with some annoyance, "The Yaochi Disciples encountered an attack near the Ziyang Imperial Family; someone stole the treasures of the Ziyang Imperial Family. This matter might be related to the group of people who went missing from the Qin Princes Mansion. We cannot allow you to hide this from the Young Master!"

The Ancestor of the Celestial God Clan looked troubled and tentatively suggested, "How about... we wait a little longer?"

Just at this moment, the door of the residence was opened from the outside.

Luo Xianxian, with her pretty cheeks flushed red, said softly to the people outside the door, "Qin Xuan said to let you in."

Seeing Luo Xianxian inside the room, Luo Xinyi pointed at the nose of the Ancestor of the Celestial God Clan and said angrily, "I thought your entire Celestial God Clan had changed its nature; it turns out, all this time, it was just to keep me from disturbing the good times between Qin Xuan and Luo Xianxian!"

"You Celestial God Clan members look so honest and reliable, but deep down, you old geezers are really devious!"

Luo Xianxian's cheeks turned red to the roots of her ears. She stomped her feet in shy annoyance and urged them, "Hurry up and come in!"
