Chapter 270: Stupefaction Of The Qin Clan

Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu

The sky was dim. A thick layer of clouds stretched across the sky, blocking the sun and causing one to wonder if it was a cloud or mist.

The leaves on all the other mountains with the exception of the one that Bei Feng was staying on were mostly gone by this time of the year. Only a handful of small plants were still growing tenaciously while holding on to their green.

In stark contrast to the colorless mountains beside it, Bei Feng’s mountain was filled with life and trees with luxuriant, green crowns. Although most of the trees had shed about a third of their leaves, the mountain remained incredibly luscious.

Bei Feng opened his eyes and spat out a breath of turbid air. A stalk of rose as big as a lotus happened to be in the path of the breath of air. As soon as it came into contact with it, it burst apart into bits of red which scattered to the ground.

Bei Feng’s aura had become more refined, like a well-polished stone.

A moment later, while had Bei Feng stopped his practice and was in the kitchen making some food, the Qin clan manor in You Prefecture was fully lit. A bunch of people were gathered in the great hall.

The atmosphere in the hall was exceptionally cold and quiet. Eighteen chairs were placed side by side at the highest position of the hall. Eighteen figures sat atop the chairs, some elderly and some middle-aged.

All the core members of the clan had rushed over here regardless of what they had been doing. Such a major recall of their forces had the enemies of the Qin clan sitting up with fear. Each of them thought that the Qin clan was about to engage in a war against them, causing them to also recall their forces.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was so heavy that an ordinary person might not even last one minute in there!

The two, three hundred people gathered here were all direct bloodline members of the Qin family. Apart from the Evolved Jing masters kneeling on the ground, there wasn’t any other outsider.

The weakest among the few hundred Qin clan members had a cultivation at the Evolved Jing realm! And standing in a row before them were more than thirty Xiantian Lords!

As for the eighteen people seated above the rest, the weakest one was already at the peak of Xiantian middle stage!

This was the foundation the Qin clan had built over several centuries, which gave them the power to claim sovereignty over You Prefecture! It was a monstrous strength which even the entire martial practitioners special force unit in You Prefecture could not match!

One had to know that You Prefecture was one of the four supercities in the country. Thus, naturally, the special force unit stationed here was also extremely strong. But despite that, they were still not the Qin clan’s match!

Qin Wufa was also seated among the eighteen seats. Currently, his face showed no emotions at all. It was as if he didn’t care about the life or death of Qin Wutian.

“Boom!”

Qin Wufa suddenly took action, causing a huge palm imprint about ten meters wide to appear in the hall. With a swing of his hand, the palm slapped downwards at the group of Evolved Jing masters kneeling below!

This strike was so quick and sudden that not even the old geezers beside him could react, not to mention those Evolved Jing masters. Denied of the chance to even make a final squeak, they were directly slapped to death like a bunch of ants!

The only thing left of them was a pile of indistinguishable bloody mess. A 10-meter-wide and 1-meter-deep palm print could be seen on the ground!

“If my son is insensible, shouldn’t you guys know better? Since my son is crippled, what’s the point of keeping you around!”

Qin Wufa’s rage exploded in the blink of an eye. He was like a savage beast that had awoken from its slumber, sending powerful ripples through the hall. A bunch of Evolved Jing masters was even forced onto one knee to withstand the terrifying pressure!

Even the other seventeen figures with cultivations above Xiantian middle stage felt incomparably shocked. Without them knowing, this Qin Wufa had actually become so powerful!

Earlier, the over ten Evolved Jing masters had already recounted the entire sequence of events without hiding anything, including how Qin Wutian had provoked and challenged Bei Feng.

Initially, they thought that they would only receive some punishment. Since the current young clan leader had already been crippled, the next young clan leader would most likely be Bei Feng. They were even planning to get closer to Bei Feng and improve their relations with him so that when he returned to the clan one day, they would have a pillar to lean against. But never in their wildest dreams had they expected that they would be swatted to death so decisively by Qin Wufa!

“Clan Leader, since the young clan leader’s cultivation is lost, he should relinquish that position and let the other members of the younger generation vie for it once again.”

An aged voice rang out in the hall as an old man seated upon one of the eighteen seats finally opened his eyes and spoke.

After a brief pause, the old man continued, “Since the young clan leader’s cultivation was crippled, we cannot leave this grudge unavenged. I’ve decided to send out some people to find and slay the culprit!”

A small commotion immediately arose from the crowd. The younger generation were especially gleeful at this.

Since they were little, the name Qin Wutian had always hung high above them like an unscalable mountain, causing them to feel great despair!

In addition, his domineering arrogance towered to the skies, so the number of people he had offended was not little!

Now that the insufferable fellow had finally fallen from grace, his enemies could not be happier. More importantly, one of them was about to claim the title of young clan leader!

“Grand Elder, aren’t you being a little too impatient?”

Qin Wufa turned around and stared unkindly at the old man.

“Since the young clan leader’s cultivation is gone, why can’t we choose a new person to succeed the clan? You can’t be thinking of letting a person crippled of his cultivation continue being the young clan leader, right?”

Qin Leng could not help but feel a sense of pressure as he looked at Qin Wufa’s eyes. But at this time, he was already riding atop the tiger, and could not dismount. He had no choice but to continue butting his head against him forcefully.

“Right, the Grand Elder’s words make sense!”

“We can’t let the rules of the Qin clan be broken just because it involves the Clan Leader’s son!”

The other Elders also spoke out. Most of them were in support of Qin Leng’s words.

A few Elders tried speaking up for Qin Wufa, but they were quickly drowned out by the majority.

These elders were no virtuous angels. When Qin Wutian was fine, they spared no effort to hug onto his thighs. But the moment something happened to Qin Wutian, those old geezers immediately jumped ship!

The reason was simple. Which elder did not have members of the young generation which they wished to nurture? Furthermore, with so many of them joining their voices, they did not have to fear Qin Wufa’s retaliation!

“Good! Very good! Looks like all of you have been waiting for this day for a long time, right?”

Qin Wufa narrowed his eyes dangerously. If he weren’t considering the well-being of the clan, he would definitely baptize this great hall with those old geezers’ blood!

“Clan Leader, how can you say that? First of all, the young clan leader’s cultivation being crippled had nothing to do with us. Also, what’s the issue with choosing another successor from the other youngsters?!” Qin Leng said with a cold chuckle. The Qin clan was not a place where Qin Wufa’s words were the law. When the other elders joined their strengths together, apart from removing the current Clan Leader from his post, there was really nothing they couldn’t do!

“Hmph! Unfortunately, I have to disappoint all of you. You all know that my son’s cultivation was crippled, but do you know that the one who crippled him is also my son?! Even if there’s a new selection, all of you will still not stand a chance!”

Qin Wufa threw out a sentence that landed like a heavy bomb, blasting everyone senseless.

Qin Wutian’s strength was something that everyone understood extremely well. Even some of the elders could not say that they would be a match for Qin Wutian!

But such a powerful existence was actually captured within a few moves and had his cultivation crippled. And now, Qin Wufa was saying that the person who crippled Qin Wutian was also his son!

The elders who had gleefully jumped ship a moment ago were now gritting their teeth with fury. Were they being taken as fools right now? How could there be such a coincidental thing in the world! Also, was he boasting that his genes were formidable? Both his sons were rare talents that could hardly be found even once every hundred years?!

The geniuses of the younger generation were also completely stupefied. They had waited long and hard to see the bright moon Qin Wutian fall from the sky and crash onto the Earth. But now, you’re telling me that there’s a f*cking newly risen sun in its place?!
