357: Chapter 357 My Man

Qin Wushang looked toward Qin Zhanzhou.

"If you erase the Dao Mark, this Empress can let you go. If you don't... you will wish you were dead!"

Qin Zhanzhou said coldly.

Even though he had achieved an Alternative Emperor Attainment, he was still helpless.

It was too difficult!

It was fused with the Dao Foundation; if he forcibly extracted it, the old man would certainly be unable to endure it.

He was currently too weak.

"Zhanzhou... don't worry about me, kill him!"

"Everyone has to die eventually."

"It's just a difference of dying sooner or later, I've never been afraid... kill him!"

"As for your sister-in-law... she is your sister-in-law after all, imprison her forever..."

"Let Shang'er preside over our lineage from now on, make him the new Clan Chief of our clan!"

Qin Lie spoke, his aura becoming increasingly withered.

He would rather die than have his son, who had achieved an Alternative Emperor Attainment, kneel to an old fogey.

"No!"

"I won't accept it!"

Qin Zhanzhou shook his head in refusal.

"Exactly!"

"I won't accept it either! In my eyes, the Qin Clan has nothing to do with me. I only came for you."

Qin Wushang responded.

The position of Qin Clan Chief was something he didn't care for at all.

The Qin Clan had nothing to do with him either.

He had said that leaving the Qin Clan meant leaving the Qin Clan.

"Shang'er!"

"You have an Imperial Weapon on you, that makes you the Clan Chief! You accepted the Imperial Weapon, so whether you admit it or not, the weapon has recognized you as its master... you are the Clan Chief!"

"That is something that cannot be changed!"

Qin Lie said in a low voice.

He stood up and, supported by the Qin Clan Old Ancestor, slowly walked toward Qin Wushang's position.

He was dying; he wanted to get closer and look at this grandson one more time.

"He's right, an Imperial Weapon carries more authority than a Clan Ring."

"Once the Imperial Weapon recognizes its master, you are the Clan Chief."

"Perhaps you once felt resentment toward this Family and felt it was unfair, but that's all in the past."

"You've grown up, and you should take on the responsibility."

"After all... this Family truly nurtured you once; you can't just watch it reach its end like this."

The Qin Clan Old Ancestor said.

He also hoped that Qin Wushang could lead the Qin Clan.

This was not just his intention, but also the will of the Yunmeng Lineage and the Primordial Ancestor of the Qin Clan.

"Shang'er!"

"Quickly agree! The Clan Ring is with your grandfather; take the Clan Ring too, and then no one will have an excuse anymore."

Ye Luoshui finally spoke up, her voice anxious.

This was a great opportunity.

The Clan Chief was even higher than the Head of the Family; even the Head of the Family had to listen to the Clan Chief.

And as long as Qin Zhantian passed down his position...

Qin Wushang could hold both the positions of Clan Chief and Head of the Family in his hands.

If he then unified the Taihuang Heaven Qin Lineage...

Their clan might not be unable to regain its glory.

"I don't need it!"

" I only need you to live!"

Qin Wushang looked at Qin Lie and still refused.

"Hahaha!"

"You dog! You wouldn't want your son and grandson to regret for the rest of their lives because of your death!"

"Why don't you kneel and beg me? If I'm happy, I'll naturally let you go."

"Of course, the prerequisite is that he makes a great dao oath to let me leave this place."

Qin Fen's face was pressed against the ground as he spoke with a distorted expression.

"Ah!"

After he finished speaking, the force of Qin Wushang's foot increased significantly, crushing his bones.

"Kill me then! You little beast!"

"If you have the guts, then just kill this seat directly!"

Qin Fen had no intention of compromising and continued to shout stubbornly.

He knew very well!

The dao devouring scar was his only trump card for survival.

"If you talk, I'll give you a chance to live."

"If you don't talk, I will slaughter the entire Taihuang Heaven Qin Lineage..."

"You're quite old; I imagine you have many descendants!"

Qin Wushang threatened.

If anything happened to the old man, he would absolutely be capable of slaughtering an entire clan.

"Slaughtering the Taihuang Heaven Qin Lineage... what big words!"

"Little beast! Don't think that just because you have an Imperial Weapon, we can't handle you!"

"Before you have stepped into the Great Emperor Realm, stepping into my Qin Clan means only one path: death!"

"Even if you bring him... it likely won't be enough!"

"Your only choice now is to agree to my terms and promise to let me leave!"

Qin Fen roared.

He had confidence and trump cards, and the Qin Clan also had such foundations.

"This Emperor is curious, what is your source of confidence?"

Qin Zhanzhou asked.

He raised his hand and lightly clenched it; an incredibly terrifying power immediately enveloped Qin Fen.

That terrifying power kept squeezing him, as if putting Qin Fen inside a space and constantly compressing it...

"Aaaah!"

Qin Fen let out a roar, his entire body covered in cracks.

"Do you think you're the only one in the world who has achieved an Alternative Emperor Attainment?"

"Aaaah!"

"You aren't the only one, Qin Zhanzhou, to step into this Realm... you are not the strongest; there are still beings in this world that you should fear!"

"For example..."

"The Empress!!! The Heaven Lord!! Aaaah!"

"Kill me then!"

"Try destroying my Qin Clan!"

Qin Fen was screaming in pain, yet he remained stubborn.

Slaughtering the Taihuang Heaven Qin Lineage...

That would undoubtedly be the Desolate Heaven Domain declaring war on Taihuang Heaven. As the Heaven Lord, Di Qingli...

Could not ignore it!

He knew that she had already taken that step and did not fear Qin Zhanzhou's alternative path to the Emperor Realm.

"I'll try if I want to."

Suddenly, a faint voice drifted out.

Qin Wushang looked up, and a figure entered his sight. Her features seemed familiar, yet they carried an indescribable sense of distance and strangeness.

It was her!

Di Qingli!

At first glance, she felt very strange, but the more he looked, the more familiar she became.

It was the same feeling as the first time he saw her from behind.

She had come, appearing here so abruptly that even Qin Zhanzhou was surprised.

"Heaven Lord... Heaven Lord..."

"Save me!"

"If you save me, my clan can give that thing to you and will forever submit to the Di Tian Palace!"

Qin Fen didn't care what Di Qingli had just said; surviving was the most important thing.

"Are you sure you want to give it to this Empress?"

"If so, wouldn't the grand plan your people have plotted for tens of thousands of years come to naught?"

Di Qingli's figure suddenly vanished from where she stood. When she reappeared, she was suspended in front of Qin Wushang like a transcendent immortal.

She seemed to be surrounded by a faint celestial mist, her figure tall and graceful, with exquisite curves that outlined a breathtakingly enchanting silhouette.

A pair of snow-white, slender, and flawless bare feet stood in mid-air; her skin was whiter than snow, untainted by a speck of dust, so beautiful that one didn't dare look directly at her.

"Yes... Heaven Lord, if you take action, my clan will surely offer that thing to you!"

Qin Fen spoke hurriedly, as if grasping at a life-saving straw.

As long as he left this place alive...

He could make a comeback.

"But, you're making things a bit difficult for this Empress."

Di Qingli smiled faintly.

"Difficult?"

"How could it be?"

Qin Fen was puzzled.

How could the dignified Heaven Lord of Taihuang Heaven, a being who had long ago achieved an Alternative Emperor Attainment, find anything difficult?

"This Empress certainly wants the thing in your clan's hands, but the one you want this Empress to offend is this Empress's man."

"Is that not difficult?"

"Perhaps it would be better to join this Empress's man and slaughter your Qin Clan together."
