Revealing a dignified expression, Qin Xiaotian nodded and gave a long sigh. “Usually, since the Qin have the Eight Desolates and Six Directions Formation, we can sleep peacefully. However, during the few days when I was in solitary training, I couldn’t help but feel somewhat restless. With my strength at the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage, vividly I could already sense the subtle aspects within the heavenly Dao and nature. Before, I was able to keep a much more single-minded focus. However, in these few days my sense of restlessness has grown stronger.”

Qin Chongyang and Qin Yunran exchanged a glance and felt each other’s uneasiness. If the invincible Head Chief was thinking this, it proved that there were still changes to come, changes that were substantial.

“Head Chief, could it be that there will be repeated changes in this crisis?” Qin Chongyang probed to ask.

Qin Xiaotian gave a slight sigh. “I could not calculate how this change would come, yet I am sure that there will be changes. My Qin people cannot sit and do nothing, we must make some arrangements.”

“Arrangements? Head Chief, we’ve already used all the trump cards, what arrangements are left?” Qin Yunran asked with a bitter smile.

“You two, this arrangement is not related to our tactic, but a choice on strategies. I am planning to make two plans. If the crisis of the Qin Clan becomes severe, I will find ways to send out a few and the most exceptional disciples.”

“Head Chief, the situation is already critical to this extent?”

Qin Xiaotian said with seriousness, “This matter has already surpassed my estimation, but it might not develop to this stage. However, this is the worst case. I must consider it as a possibility!”

Qin Chongyang nodded silently. Inwardly, he also knew that if the totem clan were to interfere, the development of this matter could not be predicted by anyone in the Qin Clan.

Making preparations for the worst case scenario was an act to be totally prepared. In the case where the Qin territory was breached, they could save their bloodline and save some hope.

“Head Chief, this strategic evacuation is a feasible plan. While the young disciples remain at the sect, it wouldn’t make sense to send them into battle. We can transfer them out. However, this strategic evacuation has risks. In the case that the mountain gate of the Qin does not show danger, having them remain inside the sect would be safer. If we evacuate them, there would be the danger of them getting chased and killed.”

Qin Chongyang spoke with a trace of concern from his heart.

His consideration was also correct. After all, this was the worst plan and might not occur. For strategic evacuation, if they headed out and were discovered by the party of the Heavenly Emperor, with the power of the young disciples, certainly they would be quickly destroyed.

Qin Xiaotian revealed electrical like brows as he shot out a strand of aura.”You two, let me ask you, among the disciples of the Qin Clan that are in the same generation as you guys, how many possess similar talent as you?”

“About seven or eight?” Qin Chongyang replied.

“The ones that have lived till now and made it to the Supreme Dao Stage, how many are there?” Qin Xiaotian asked with a sharp tone.

“Only me and the Second Chief.”

Speaking here, Qin Chongyang seemed to have realized something as his eyes lit up. “Head Chief, you mean?”

“That’s right, if the sparrow only flies beneath their own roof, in the end they can not soar to the sky and are unable to confront the snow and wind. Yet, the northern goshawk who gets hammered in the wind and rain faces life and death, which only allows it to become the king of the birds. You all see the talent among the young generation of the Qin Clan. There are a few with good potential, yet besides Qin Wushuang and Qin Taichong, which ones are mature enough and able to assume responsibility?”

Qin Xiaotian’s rhetorical questions had made the two chiefs speechless. Upon falling into a moment of silence, they also felt the words of the Head Chief had made sense.

Looking across the young generation of the Qin Clan, besides Qin Wushuang who was always in the limelight and Qin Taichong being rather impressive, among the other disciples, only Qin Zhining could be considered an unpolished gem waiting to be exploited.

For the others, although they had good talent, it was truly a great question whether or not they could make it into the Supreme Dao Stage. After all, the Supreme Dao Fruit wouldn’t occur often.

Such an opportunity could not be encountered more than once every few thousand years. The Ten-Thousand Year Immortal Pilgrimage Event at the Karakorum Immortal Clan was only hosted once every ten thousand years. The probability of meeting such chance could almost be ignored.

Qin Yunran said, “Head Chief, in this case, let’s select a few! Wushuang and Taichong would surely leave. For the others, it would depend on their decision.”

Qin Xiaotian shook his head. “No, Wushuang and Taichong, let them make their own choice. For this matter, we will not force anyone to do anything.”

Qin Chongyang felt it was very reasonable. Only if one chooses themselves, they would have no complaints or regrets.

“Then for this matter, should we inform the entire clan?”

“Naturally, or else the mindset of the clans people would change,” Qin Xiaotian said.

“Alright, Head Chief, I will make the preparations now.” Qin Chongyang stood up.

“Go…”

While they were in the midst of talking, suddenly Qin Xiaotian’s complexion changed slightly. He twitched the corner of his mouth slightly. “He has come!”

“Who?”

“Xin Tianwen!” There was a trace of ruthless intention from Qin Xiaotian’s tone. “Since this Xin Tianwen has come again after a long separation of time, certainly he has a new plan. I hope he has not attracted the help of a totem elite warrior!”

While he was speaking, there came Xin Tianwen’s haughty laughter. “Qin Xiaotian, are you having a good time being an ostrich? I will stop and wait before your mountain gate, let me see how much can you guys endure!”

While Xin Tianwen said it this way, Qin Xiaotian had a more solemn expression as he mumbled, “Certainly this Xin Tianwen has a new plan by speaking this way. I will go meet him.”

“Head Chief…”

“No need to speak anymore, I am extremely familiar with this mountain protection formation, I know which gate is for life and which one is for death.” Qin Xiaotian waved his hand and said with a slight smile, “If we can lure that Xin Tianwen into the gates, I will make him stay there!”

After saying this, Qin Xiaotian stood up suddenly and walked outside in large strides.

…

Qin Wushuang was in solitary training when he was startled by Xin Tianwen’s arrogant laugh. He walked out. Bao Bao and Lone also walked over. “Boss, did you achieve a breakthrough?”

Qin Wushuang laughed. “How could I this fast? However, I feel that the Peak of the Common Mysterious Stage is not going to be far away. Everything I am doing now is preparing to make a dash for the Supreme Dao Stage!”

Bao Bao laughed. “Alright, I am just excited for Boss to break into the Supreme Dao Stage!”

“You guys should also work hard!” Qin Wushuang gave a slight sigh and walked towards the main hall. At this moment, clansmen of the Qin Clan had already gathered inside the Upright Morality Hall.

“Head Chief went out to exchange moves with XIN TIANWEN.”

“Everyone, how is your progress?”

The people of the Qin Clan exchanged words. Those Honored Warrior on the path of working towards the Supreme Dao Stage also exchanged their thoughts.

Qin Chongyang and Qin Yunran were also among the ranks. They quietly listened to everyone’s conversation, but did not utter a sound.

Outside the mountain gate, Xin Tianwen was holding the Slaughtering Sword in hand while he laughed. “Qin Xiaotian, it seems that you do care about being called an ostrich! What, as you come out today, do you plan to surrender or to fight to the death?”

Qin Xiaotian said with an indifferent smile, “Xin Tianwen, the grand and honorable Heavenly Emperor, you’ve also created a record by being so wretched and shameless. The title of being the most wretched Heavenly Emperor would certainly belong to you.”

Xin Tianwen laughed. “Qin Xiaotian, do you think you can provoke me like this?”

Qin Xiaotian’s complexion went cold. “Stop with this nonsense, if you want to fight, then let’s fight!”

After he had finished, he pointed the tip of his spear and red lights had erupted from his entire body. Guided by the lights, it had instantly burned the sky to fill with red clouds as he rolled forward to kill Xin Tianwen.

As the red clouds formed together, they transformed into vicious beasts with one thousand malevolent faces that shot forth to attack Xin Tianwen with bare fangs and brandish claws.

Xin Tianwen roared, “Good that it has come!”

He chopped with the Slaughtering Sword and along the way he activated the Heavenly Emperor Wings. Instead of retreating, he moved forward to attack Qin Xiaotian.

The two figures dragged long rays of light that danced in a confused order as if they were soaring in the resplendent starry sky. As they fought, the entire sky seemed to be reversed.

These two elite warriors were the strongest existences in Xuan Yuan Mound besides the totem elite warriors. They fought with all their strength in this battle. They fought for three days and nights, but a victor was not determined.

Three days and three nights passed. The sun had gone up and then the sun went down. Despite the passing of time, their spirits remained high and their drive to kill unwavered.

Initially, Xin Tianwen intended to exhaust Qin Xiaotian. However, through three days of fighting, he had to admit that in terms of individual strength, this Qin Xiaotian would not lose to him, the Heavenly Emperor.

“Qin Xiaotian, hold on!” Xin Tianwen flapped with the Heavenly Emperor Wings and flew to the sky. A long rainbow slashed across the sky as he flew away rapidly.

Qin Xiaotian also had the thought to withdraw. He stood with his spear, but did not chase after him. As he gazed at the track where Xin Tianwen had left, inwardly he did not have the slightest sense of joy.

He turned to return to the formation and saw that all people of the Qin Clan had gathered at the Upright Morality Hall.

“Head Chief!”

“Welcome back, Head Chief.”

Qin Xiaotian waved his hand. “Everyone, this time that Xin Tianwen had come to fight with me, he was completely different than his first arrival at the Aspiring Throne Mountain. I am suspicious of a conspiracy. However, since we’ve already given up our trump card, we can only deal with the changes as they come.”

“Head Chief, everyone is here,” Qin Chongyang reminded him.

“Alright, sit down everyone, I will talk,” Qin Xiaotian said with a stern tone.

Everyone followed his words and returned to their seats. Qin Xiaotian opened his mouth and said, “Everyone, previously, Xin Tianwen was out of moves and was helpless before the mountain protecting formation. Recently, he has made a comeback. Certainly, he will unleash another trump card. With the strategies of the Xin Clan alone, certainly he can not do anything to the great formation of the Qin Clan. I am just worried that this matter might bring out the totem clan. Therefore, we must make the worst assumption!”

“The totem clan?” When these words were spoken, the complexion of everyone in the Qin Clan had become confused.

Qin Xiaotian gave a long sigh. “That’s right, it’s the totem clan. Regardless, this Xin Tianwen is the current Heavenly Emperor. If he has acquired some good strategies from the totem clan, we would not know. Therefore, for my Qin Clan, we must make some arrangements…”

At the moment, Qin Xiaotian talked about his plan and he said slowly, “The strategic evacuation is only limited to the younger generation for they cannot be put into battle now, but they do hold a hopeful future. They are also the hope for the Qin Clan. However, let me speak frankly, strategic evacuation may not necessarily be the most ideal choice. It’s because what I am doing now is making the worst assumption which hopefully doesn’t happen. There is a risk of hiding inside the mountain gate and it’s possible to be absolutely safe. For the evacuation, you could be free, but there are also great risks. Also, you would be carrying a mission. Regardless of your choice, you should all think deeply about it.”

Qin Wushuang was moved inwardly for he knew that the Head Chief had finally considered this move. Indeed, the strategic evacuation was the most reasonable choice under the worst circumstances.
