The Offerings Are Ready, and Time Is Short!
"Brother Qin, do you think the Fortune Heaven Sect will really take the bait?"
Upon hearing this—
Qin Lu smiled calmly, silently sipping his tea and observing all things. He poured a cup of tea for the White Dragon Emperor, appearing extremely composed.
"Brother Long, don't worry."
"The real show is about to begin. The ones who are truly anxious aren't us, but the Fortune Heaven Sect. The stronger I demonstrate my combat power..."
The more it exceeds their expectations, the more urgent things become for them!
"Don't worry, those blind men won't be able to hold back."
"However, Brother Long, let's be clear from the start: these Whale Emperor and Penguin Emperor are offerings to me, so please don't go back on your word..."
"The White Dragon Clan will be met with the utmost respect and will not be harmed in the slightest by my Qin Clan."
Hearing this, the White Dragon Emperor smiled helplessly and nodded in agreement:
"Certainly."
"I only wish to preserve the White Dragon Clan. Everything else is up to you, Brother Qin. Since I have chosen this path..."
Even if it's a path leading to the darkest point, there's absolutely no reason to back down.
"But..."
"This Fortune Heaven Sect is powerful, and it has secretly allied with my fellow clansmen in the Nine Dragons Sea. If a conflict were to break out, our northern regions and the Central Lands would be in serious trouble..."
"Can it really hold out?"
"This is exactly what I'm worried about. Once the Central Lands collapses, we in the North will probably find it difficult to stop the momentum of the Fortune Heaven Sect..."
As the White Dragon Emperor spoke, he observed Qin Lu's expression, seemingly trying to glean something from it...
Qin Lu simply smiled slightly, exuding a sense of absolute certainty:
"You're overthinking it, Brother Long."
"There are far more intelligent people in this world than just you and me. Throughout history, there have been countless geniuses and brilliant minds!"
"The Extreme Dharma True Lord: Ye Wuxu, can be described as the most powerful and cunning old monster of this era..."
"I don't believe Old Ghost Ye has no hidden tricks up his sleeve."
"Moreover, the victor of the previous era was not a member of the Fortune Heaven Sect, but the founder of the Daoqing Lineage, Venerable Daoqing..."
"How many years has this venerable one been dead?"
"It's only been a few hundred years since he died. A Spirit Transformation cultivator has fallen. If I were to say he didn't leave behind any backup plans, would you believe me, Brother Long?"
"And..."
"It seems the hidden old monster is more than what we currently know..."
"There are still some old monsters who haven't shown up yet!"
"Take that person for example. Brother Long, you know the Great Dao of Ice and Snow better than anyone. In this realm, there is another Human Race cultivator who cultivates the Great Dao of Ice and Snow..."
"This person has never shown his face. I've searched through thousands of historical records, but I haven't found a single piece of information about him..."
"Brother Long, don't you find this strange?"
Speaking of which--
The White Dragon Emperor paused slightly, lost in thought...
According to Qin Lu, that's really true!
It seems the current situation is far from over; something else is lurking in some corner, watching...
"Daoqing, Extreme Dharma, Fortune Heaven, and your Northern Qin, along with some unknown entities, are truly demons and monsters..."
"This time, they've all come out."
"It's true that seclusion is good. After this turmoil passes, my White Dragon Clan will stay in the Northern Nether Sea and not go anywhere else..."
"Let's isolate our clan for a thousand years first."
"This era is so far removed from what I remember, so far removed that I hardly recognize it anymore..."
Speaking of this--
The White Dragon Emperor revealed a sighing, forlorn expression...
An era has passed, and he is still alive, while few of the powerful figures of his time remain...
The White Dragon Emperor has lived for a very long time; he is a survivor of the previous era.
Having witnessed most of Venerable Daoqing's life, watching him rise from Nascent Soul Cultivator to a Deity Spirit Transformation cultivator who dominated a region...
Until now--
He actually outlived Venerable Daoqing; he wasn't even dead yet, and wasn't even old, but in his prime...
Even Qin Lu, a cold-hearted and ungrateful person, could feel some resonance with him.
Perhaps in the long lives of cultivators, they will encounter too many partings and deaths, in the Endless river of time...
They were tempered little by little, their unwavering Dao heart was forged!
Fortune Heaven Domain -- Within the Fortune Heaven Sect.
The Fortune Heaven Sect Master has received the latest intelligence...
As he watched the Qin Clan's rising prodigies emerge one after another, he could sense a massive amount of the Qin Clan constantly gathering around them...
This fortune does not belong to the Frost Cloud Realm.
Rather, it was the destiny from another realm, from the Qin Clan, from that unformed realm, from the time the world was born...
The fortune it contains is immense!
It is enough fortune to propel a cultivator towards the Spirit Transformation stage...
Unfortunately, the Fortune Heaven Sect has no way to steal this fortune. It is deeply bound to the Qin Clan and only recognizes the Qin Clan's prodigies...
But killing them wouldn't grant me that aura.
However, this can greatly suppress the Qin Clan's momentum, which is equally important!
But before that--
The battle in the Northern Continent has reached a fever pitch!
The Heavenly Fate True Lord was being watched alone, while one of the three Demon Emperor of the Northern Nether Sea was beaten half to death, his physical body directly shattered...
The other one was severely injured!
The strongest White Dragon Emperor is still entangled with Qin Lu...
They've been fighting in Heaven Beyond Heaven for a full week now, and the battle is still deadlocked!
"These are truly turbulent times..."
"That useless White Dragon Emperor, a powerful demon at the Nascent Soul Late Stage Perfection, one of the strongest in this world, couldn't even handle Qin Lu?"
"Damn it..."
"We need to find a way to intervene. And what's going on in the Central Lands? Why is the fighting so drawn out and dragging on?"
"The situation is getting increasingly out of control, my ancestor! Shenji, what are you waiting for?!"
