Chapter 138: That Shameless Father and Son!
The next day, Qin Zi returned.
As soon as he got home, he anxiously told Qin Chuan, who was oblivious to outside affairs, about what had happened outside.
And he expressed his concerns.
He also realized Emperor Yu's open strategy, so he was worried about when Emperor Yu would trip him up.
After all, as long as Emperor Yu poured dirty water on him, he could then execute a "house cleaning" and kill him, righteously taking the Imperial Artifact.
He was scared.
He wasn't afraid of being hunted by others, but if the Realm Emperor made a move, he really couldn't withstand it.
Because in the face of absolute strength, luck is useless.
In such a desperate moment, the only person he could rely on and trust absolutely was his father.
"This is outrageous!"
After listening to his son's words, Qin Chuan was furious. He slammed the table and stood up.
He showed the indignation a father should have upon knowing his son was being bullied.
After a long time, he coldly said, "This Emperor Yu really takes himself seriously. Plotting for the Imperial Artifact is one thing, but using such despicable means!"
"Does he think all young people are eager to be his disciple? To be my son's master, he's not qualified!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Qin Zi nodded vigorously, very much in agreement, then asked, "Dad, what do we do now?"
He looked at his father expectantly because, from his father's domineering words, he saw hope.
At least, dad wasn't afraid of Emperor Yu!
"Isn't this Emperor Yu claiming to be your master? Then we can't let him take advantage for nothing... Tomorrow, I'll accompany you to the Dongsheng Divine Sect to enjoy the treatment a disciple of Emperor Yu should have!"
Qin Chuan said with a cold smile.
"Are we going to cause a big scene at the Dongsheng Divine Sect?!" Qin Zi's eyes widened, his breathing becoming rapid.
This was playing with fire, wasn't it?
Afraid that it wouldn't end well.
Seeing his son a bit anxious, Qin Chuan patted his head and comforted him, "Go ahead and play, don't worry about the consequences. With me here, who can do anything to you?"
"Hmph! Be it Emperor Yu or Sword Emperor, when is it their turn to bully my son, Qin Chuan?!"
His words were domineering and unmatched.
Qin Zi looked up at his father's resolute face, his heart flooded with warmth. He took a deep breath, and his gaze became firm.
But then, he became troubled.
"But... Dad, I don't know how to cause trouble, you know me, I have a simple and honest nature, not good at these things..."
Qin Chuan lowered his head and glanced at his innocent son.
Seeing his earnest look, he wanted to say something, but opened his mouth and didn't know how to start...
Such a shameless boy!
This trait didn't follow him.
...
The Dongsheng Divine Sect.
As one of the two great Holy Lands in the Eastern Domain, it holds a lofty status and has numerous strong individuals, truly a colossal force.
In the past, within a hundred miles of the Dongsheng Divine Sect, without the sect's permission, no one would dare to approach.
But now, this magnificent sect surrounded by mountains and water, had two uninvited guests.
"Rumble!"
The great river in front of the Dongsheng Divine Sect's mountain gate, originally flowing incessantly from west to east, suddenly flowed backward on this day.
"What's that?"
The Mountain Guard Disciple of the Dongsheng Divine Sect was shocked.
They saw the hundred-zhang-wide river rolling back from below, with waves as high as two hundred zhàng, towering like mountains.
And at the top of the snow-white waves stood two figures, one large and one small, riding the waves.
"Who goes there!"
"Daring to make a scene before the Dongsheng Divine Sect's gate, how bold!"
"Come down right now and apologize!"
Several Mountain Guard Disciples shouted sternly.
They could tell that such a wave-riding method should be the Law of Water, indicating the arrivals were at least Celestial Saints.
However, they were not afraid at all.
Backed by the Dongsheng Divine Sect, they were full of confidence—who dared to be arrogant under the eyes of the Dual Emperors of the Dongsheng Divine Sect?
But, in the next moment.
A gust of wind brushed over, causing their heads to turn in the same direction, accompanied by a crisp sound.
"Clap clap clap!"
These people were stunned. They instinctively covered their burning faces, then angrily looked at the black-robed youth who had made the move.
"You!!"
"How dare you..."
They were about to scold loudly, but that black-robed youth seemed even angrier, opening his mouth to curse directly:
"Blind dogs! Just a few Mountain Guard Outer Disciples dare speak to me like this! Do you know who I am?!
"Ah??"
"You... Who are you?"
These people were completely dumbfounded, their anger instantly dissipating, leaving them almost instinctively meek.
They sensed they might have encountered an important figure within the sect, perhaps a high-ranking genius senior!
"My name is Qin Zi, who do you say I am?"
The black-robed youth stood proudly, saying lightly.
"Qin Zi? Qin Zi is... Ah!!!"
One Mountain Guard Disciple was first stunned, then seemed to realize something. His eyes widened, and his face showed deep reverence: "Are you the Senior Ancestor?!"
"He is Senior Ancestor Qin Zi?"
"Hiss—"
"Salutations to Senior Ancestor Qin Zi!"
The others also gasped, then quickly knelt on the ground, kowtowing to Qin Zi tremblingly.
Who is Qin Zi?
If it were before, they might not know, but with recent rumors running rampant, how could they not know?
That's the Feather Emperor's Disciple!!
Even the sect's Ninth Heavenly Layer Saints, upon seeing Qin Zi, would have to pinch their noses and respectfully call him "Senior Uncle Qin Zi"!
That's status.
That's seniority!
"This is my father, you should have heard about him, right?" Qin Zi looked down at them arrogantly and introduced.
"We know, we know!"
"Salutations to Ancestor Qin Chuan!"
The few hurriedly kowtowed to Qin Chuan.
"No need for formalities, go in and report, let the Sect Leader come to greet us." Qin Chuan stood with his hands behind his back, speaking calmly.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
With that, two disciples quickly ran into the sect, or rather, flew inside.
Meanwhile, Qin Chuan and his son stood in place, silently observing Qin Zi's "master's sect," checking out the environment.
Before the mountain gate were two hundred-zhang coiling dragon stone pillars, imposing and grand, clearly two facing peaks sculpted into pillars.
This was the gateway of the Dongsheng Divine Sect.
And looking in through the gateway, one could see the vast mountain ranges behind, along with pavilions, towers, and splendid palaces.
Most eye-catching were the five towering main peaks, each immensely large, seemingly piercing the sky.
These five peaks, like a person's five fingers, resembled a hand reaching for the sky from a swamp.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss!"
Before long, a group of people flew out from inside the Dongsheng Divine Sect, led by a middle-aged man in a purple robe, leading a group of elders.
Their aura was majestic, and their demeanor solemn.
Presumably, these were the Sect Leader and Elders of the Dongsheng Divine Sect.
"Hahaha, Junior Su Xuanlong, here to welcome Senior Ancestor Qin Zi and Ancestor Qin Chuan back to the sect!"
The middle-aged man in purple robes bowed to Qin Chuan and Qin Zi, and the elders behind him also saluted.
"Welcome Senior Ancestor Qin Zi and Ancestor Qin Chuan back to the sect!"
Nonsense about 'back to the sect'!!
In fact, they knew these two weren't people from their sect. After all, wouldn't they know if their sect had these two people?
And they also saw through it.
The Feather Emperor Ancestor declared to the world that Qin Zi was his disciple, likely an open strategy to seize the Imperial Artifact.
Unexpectedly!
These two were so shameless as to exploit this and come to the Dongsheng Divine Sect; was there any reason other than extortion?
This matter caught them off guard.
But since it happened, they seemed to have no choice but to accept it. They couldn't deny Qin Zi's identity now, could they?
Doing so would slap the Feather Emperor's face, jeopardizing his reputation, and the entire Dongsheng Divine Sect would lose face.
All in all, the commitments made must be upheld no matter what!
