Soaring of Galaxia
chapter-456

With Chen Sen killed, everything went strangely smoothly. On the third day that they had set up the ambush at the Wild Goose Mountain Peak, Chen Tong finally brought back the reinforcement and entered the border appearing travel-worn.

The help sought by Chen Tong was Dong Qian, an Elder of the Dark Green Cloud Taoist Sect. This Dong Qian was also an elite warrior at the Profound Void Martial Stage. Like Qin Sheng, he also had a contract combat spiritual beast at the Transformation Void Martial Stage.

Chen Sen's initial plan was to get Dong Qian and his battle spiritual beast as their support. By having two elite warriors at the Profound Void Martial Stage, they would have a greater winning chance when dealing with the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan.

Most importantly, since Dong Qian was thriving at the Dark Green Cloud Taoist sect, his individual power was slightly higher than Chen Sen. And Dong Qian's contract battle beast was a good hand who excelled at besieging fortresses and breaking the walls. The beast was exceptional with his tough skin.

Currently, Dong Qian was riding on his battle beast and flying together with Chen Tong through the sky. Their travelling speed was neither fast nor slow.

Just when they were approaching the Reversal Wild Goose Mountain peak, suddenly, Dong Qian's spiritual perception had sensed something. He waved his hand and said: "Hold on."

Stunned, Chen Tong then realized something as they both dropped from the clouds.

As they dropped next to the mountain road, Dong Qian glanced around with a grave and stern expression. Then, he said coldly: "Which divine being is hiding here?"

Qin Sheng did not find it strange. Earlier, he had released a trace of spiritual Qi deliberately and let it drift out. In fact, he was also testing whether this Dong Qian could sense it.

Seeing Dong Qian's prompt reaction, although Qin Sheng did not find it strange, he still felt somewhat surprised. It seemed that the other party was slightly more powerful than him despite being at the same stage.

However, Qin Sheng did not feel any fear at the moment. Naturally, he was like a tiger that had grown wings as he had the divine Graceful Spiritual Bow. Not to mention the Profound Void Martial Stage warrior was the same level as he, he would not fear even if he were at the Perfect Stage. With the divine weapon in hand, it was his self-protection and even the capital to defeat the enemy.

Qin Sheng took a step forward and revealed himself.

"Chen Tong, do you recognize me?" Qin Sheng did not address Dong Qian. Instead, he fixed his cold gaze on Chen Tong.

Initially, Qin Sheng did not know who Chen Tong was. He only learned from Qin Wushuang that the guy who went to get help was named Chen Tong. Thus, he estimated that this person should be Chen Tong.

That Chen Tong could not help but feel surprised when he saw a strange elite warrior suddenly call his name and blocking the road. He said: "Who are you?"

"Who am I?" Qin Sheng sneered, "Why are you tiring yourself by going back and forth? I am from the Qin Clan that you guys wanted in exchange for million of gold crystal stones!"

Not to mention Chen Tong, even Dong Qian was shocked as he looked at Qin Sheng insurprise. Yet, he narrowed his eyes into a thin line. Under the sunlight, the atmosphere instantly became intense.

"Impossible!" Chen Tong cried out as he denied, "We have surrounded the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan, our blockade is impenetrable. Who would believe that you are from the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan? I am afraid not even a fly could escape from the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan!"

When he said here, Chen Tong said to Dong Qian: "Elder Dong, for sure this person is not from the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan. He does not carry good intentions by blocking this path!"

However, Dong Qian was not persuaded and only fixed his cold gaze on Qin Sheng. Since he and Qin Sheng were both elite warriors at the Profound Void Martial Stage, they could vividly sense the other party's strong aura.

This was not an explosive aura, but the reserved brilliance belonging to an elite warrior at the Profound Void Martial Stage that emerged naturally from the inside of their body. It was an inner resonance.

Qin Sheng also did not evade his eyes as he stared at Dong Qian. He said calmly: "Mister, I don't know where you are from and I don't plan to find out. I only want to say that if you came here to aid them because of your relation with Chen Sen, then this matter can end here."

"Oh?" Dong Qian smiled lightly, "Why do you say that?"

Naturally, a figure that had come from the Dark Green Cloud Taoist Sect would not be a reckless person. Before he had gotten to know the situation, Dong Qian would not make a thoughtless move.

"Let me ask, do you have any grudge with the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan? Do you hold any personal grudges toward my Hundred Leaf Qin Clan?" Qin Sheng asked lightly.

"The Qin Clan is none of my business. I came here for two reasons. Firstly, for my relation and secondly, to repay a debt." Dong Qian did not disguise his intention.

"Good, indeed you have come due to a favor and relations. If that person is gone, this favor is gone. To not keep you in the dark, Chen Sen has already been killed when he tried to invade the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan! This is the evidence!"

Qin Sheng raised his hand causally and tossed an object to the other side.

Dong Qian caught it in his hand. When he fixed his gaze at it, it was that Chen Sen's head that had yet closed his eyes in death. With a glance, even the powerful Dong Qian could not help but feel cold sweat continuously emerge.

Chen Tong even cried out and his entire body had instantly become petrified.

"How is it possible?" Chen Tong was dumbstruck, "This is not true, this is not true! This must be a trick! This is not the head of my Commander."

Although Dong Qian did not lose his cool like Chen Tong, his expression had also become complicated. With his facial muscles kept trembling, he mumbled after looking at it repeatedly: "This head is not fake."

Currently, he was more shocked at Chen Sen's death. He asked himself that despite being at the Profound Void Martial Stage, perhaps he only slightly surpassed Chen Sen regarding stage, it would still be tough for him to kill Chen Sen.

However, this Chen Sen's head had been cut off by someone and thrown before him. Then, without a doubt, the person that had killed Chen Sen must have strength higher than his!

In other words, since the person was able to kill Chen Sen, then he must have eighty to ninety percent chance of killing Dong Qian.

For martial artists at Dong Qian's level, his fear towards death and his reluctance to leave the world was beyond ordinary people's imagination.

It was the so-called saying that the older you get, the more you become afraid of death and the more you try to manipulate life.

Thinking rapidly inside his head, Dong Qian had understood the other party's intention. Since they did not even want to learn Dong Qian's identity, apparently they did not wish to form a grudge with him.

Most likely, it was not because the other party did not know his identity, but had known him from inside out. Only, they were unwilling to form a grudge with the Dark Green Cloud Taoist Sect that were at his back.

"The enemy's move was to protect themselves and also an act to keep secondary issues from arising!" After all, Dong Qian was an elite warrior at the Profound Void Martial Stage and came from the Dark Green Cloud Taoist Sect. If he were to run off after only a few persuasive words, he would lose his reputation. At the moment, he sneered: "Mister, are you threatening me?"

Qin Sheng shook his head casually: "It's not a threat! The Hundred Leaf Qin Clan have always valued the principal of not attacking unless we are attacked. The reason behind these heartfelt words is because we do not wish to create enemies without reason."

"In the end, the Qin is scared." Dong Qian sneered.

The expression of Qin Sheng changed drastically as he said coldly: "Mister, if you treat my words as some kind of fearful begging, then you are gravely mistaken. Do you believe that at this Reversal Wild Goose Mountain peak, I don't have the capital to outright kill you now?"

Qin Sheng was not an idiotic person. Despite speaking these words, he did not take out the Graceful Spiritual Bow. Once he had taken out the bow, it would mean showing his hostility and it would mean that the other party must die.

Instantly, the color on Dong Qian's face changed as he silently stared at Qin Sheng. With his instinct as a powerful elite warrior, Dong Qian did sense an indescribable feeling of crisis and oppression.

Although he could not understand where this powerful killing intent had come from, without a doubt, the other party was not bragging. This way, the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan must know his identity. At the least, they knew where he had come from.

They were not in fear of Dong Qian, but rather restraining themselves out of consideration for the Dark Green Cloud Taoist sect behind his back.

Dong Qian lowered his hand and started discussing with his contract battle beast through simple beast language. That contract battle beast also had strong combat instincts. He also sensed an undisguised cold murderous intent that was strong enough to threaten their lives.

"Master, since that Chen Sen is dead, it doesn't matter whether you repay his debt or not. The murderous intent from this man is somewhat suppressed but it is not fake. I say, there is no need to fight for a dead person. The Hundred Leaf Qin Clan had never gotten involved in conflicts with the Dark Green Cloud Taoist sect. Even if the Honored Daoist warrior had come, he would not offend the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan for such trivial matter."

Initially, Dong Qian was somewhat hesitant. Hearing the advice from the contract battle beast, he felt even more swayed.

Seeing Dong Qian fall into a silence, Chen Tong spoke with an almost begging tone: "Elder Dong, please, you must do it for our Commander."

With an ashen expression, Dong Qian gave a low shout: "I know what I'm doing, why are you rushing me?"

"Mister, Chen Sen was willing to become a pawn driven by his greed over the million crystals reward. His death could not wipe out his crimes. If you decide to support the enemy, you will also suffer an execution today!"

Instantly, Dong Qian was unhappy when he heard these words as he said unemotionally: "Mister, even if I am not going to pursue the matter of Chen Sen, your words are going too far."

Qin Sheng said with a calm and collected tone: "Mister, I am in fact, considering your position. Although I don't know your background, by observing your appearance, you must have come from a significant place. This Chen Tong was Chen Sen's trusted aide. If you keep him, him talking would not benefit your reputation. Today, we should reach a mutual understanding through our friendly conversation. If this Chen Tong leaves with dissatisfaction in his heart, he would speak wrongly of you to those outsiders who were oblivious of the truth. In that case, those outsiders would assume that you chose to step back because you were afraid of the Qin Clan."

"Thus, this Chen Tong must be killed. I am simply considering your reputation." Qin Sheng's words also made Dong Qian, who was already hesitant, feel moved.

That's right! For today's matter, if you left it unresolved and took a step back, who knows what this Chen Tong would do as his hatred festered. Being an Elder at the Dark Green Cloud Taoist sect, if Chen Tong had damaged his reputation, how could he remain in the Orderly Mountain prefecture?

When he thought here, he felt even more persuaded.

Next, Qin Sheng's following words moved him even more.

"Mister, if you turn around and leave now, I promise that today's matter will appear as if it never happened. I will not spread any information outside. The Hundred Leaf Qin Clan will owe you a favor."

"As for Chen Tong, we will take care of him and we will ensure he does not damage your sacred reputation."

As Qin Sheng finished speaking, he initiated his temperament abruptly. He had channeled his spiritual Qi into the Graceful Spiritual Bow before pulling it out. Instantly, the oppressive sensation from the bow combined with his own aura created a powerful killing intent that engulfed the surrounding area.

Immediately, Dong Qian became distraught with anxiety from this killing intent. Each inch of his skin could sense the thick killing intent.

"To fight or to keep peace, your word decides everything!" Qin Sheng let out a breath of genuine Qi!

The Genuine Qi that could rouse even the apathetic had instantly turned Dong Qian's last remaining hesitation into nothingness.

"Ok! For today's matter, I will take a step back. The Hundred Leaf Qin Clan better fend for themselves. I am not afraid of you guys, only, like you, I do not wish to create unnecessary enemies!"

Of course, there must be some words of formality.

Qin Sheng laughed: "No better than each other, long live the mutual understanding!"
