Chapter 481 Life and Death Entrustmen
Bao Bao was a guy that would overflow with confidence if he was given a little bit sunlight or some nutritious things. He always had great self-confidence as he started to enthusiastically promote Qin Wushuang. He seemed to have completely forgotten the dangerous situation they were in.
Qin Shixun smiled bitterly: "I have no clue about what is going on in the human countries. Thus, regarding what exactly Qin Wushuang did in the human countries, I am completely ignorant."
"Ah..." Instantly, Bao Bao’s face lost its light as he gave an embarrassing smile, "Since you never heard about our boss’s name, how come you are so shocked. You made me feel that you were extremely shocked."
"It’s true that I was shocked." Qin Shixun smiled, "Not many things exists that could leave me feeling shocked. About today, even if the foremost elite warrior of the Heavenly Penance Villa and that Thunder Sound sect had come, I would not be shocked."
"Then our boss is more shocking than them?" Although Bao Bao had a good sense of self-confidence, it had not inflated to that extent.
Qin Shixun’s appeared to have fallen into a deep muse. From his expression, he seemed to be thinking about a piece of extremely complicated matter. And within his expression, there were unfathomable intentions.
"Senior..." Qin Wushuang could not help but utter a sound to remind him when he saw his strange expression. Naturally, he would not forget that at this Wild Flame Cliff, there was still a large group of enemies eyeing them as prey.
Qin Shixun raised his hand to stop Qin Wushuang’s words with the most concentrated expression. After a long time of thinking, Qin Shixun gave a light sigh and nodded.
"Young man, perhaps you should go see the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan headquarters." Qin Shixun gazed steadily at Qin Wushuang with a sincere yet expectant expression.
Bao Bao could not help but speak: "Our boss had come from the human countries to the Xuan Yuan Mound with the purpose of visiting the Heavenly Emperor Qin headquarter."
Hearing his words, instantly, overjoyed lights appeared in Qin Shixun’s eyes as he slapped his thigh: "Great...Great, great!"
He had said many "greats" continuously. Already, Qin Shixun’s smile was twisted with emotion. The happiness on his face made him appear uncaring about the fact that his life was going to end soon.
"Young man, listen, every word I say next is extremely important. You must remember it in your heart. If you still recognize the Qin bloodline, and still have a sense of belonging, please do not forget a single word." Qin Shixun’s eyes shot a wave of incredibly sincere intention. At the same time, he was full of expectation and fixed his gaze at Qin Wushuang to the extent that he was worried about his own personal gains and losses.
At this moment, Qin Wushuang was of course, duty bound.
"Senior, if you have any last words, I will bring it to the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan, before your families."
Hearing his answer, Qin Shixun’s expression had instantly become much more relaxed. He gave a long sigh full of joy: "Families?"
"My grandfather, parents, brothers, and uncles were all offspring of the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan. And all of them had passed before me. For me, I never married and have no children. Regarding my own bloodline, there is none who carry it. However—regarding families, which one of the offsprings from the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan is not my family? In our bloodline, eventually, the blood in our body can all be traced back to the same point of origin. If I must leave some last words for them, it would be these three words—Never give up."
Qin Shixun’s tone sounded calm. Clearly, life and death did not rob him of his pride, his calm, and his temperament.
He was facing death with the calmness of someone about to take an afternoon nap.
"Listen, only three words—Never Give up. Not many could afford to give up for our Qin Clan. Perhaps, fate, nature, and destiny will abandon the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan. However, the disciples and offspring of the Qin Clan must never abandon our bloodline and pride!"
As Qin Shixun said this, his tone had become urgent. Miraculously, a faint blush had appeared on his pale face.
They only heard him keep speaking with his weak tone: "I don’t have much time, perhaps, I will stop breathing in the next moment. Thus, I must fight to keep this long story short."
When he said that, Qin Shixun raised his arm and threw a spice bag. This spice bag was embroidered with gold and appeared beautiful. It also emitted faint scents.
"Inside this spice bag are the goods that those guys seek so desperately. Keep it."
Qin Wushuang took it. As he weighed it in hand, it was heavy. Thus, he could not help but furrow his brows.
"Don’t feel strange, there are some extremely special metal materials and some rare goods inside. Ha ha, don’t find it strange, these are not mine."
From Qin Shixun’s expression, a small mischievous smile flashed across his face: "Those goods were offered as tribute from those in the Xuan Yuan Mound who wanted to flatter the Heavenly Penance Villa. I learned about it, and it would be too unfortunate if I didn’t take it. Just in time too, as the Heavenly Penance Villa are sworn enemies of the Qin Clan. They had invited people from the Thunder Sound to hunt me down. I led them and went around almost the majority part of the Xuan Yuan Mound and fought a dozen big and small battles. My primordial spirit got injured by people of the Thunder Sound sect, a sneak attack. Thus, I have fallen into this position."
Qin Wushuang felt sad. Qin Shixun’s story was an abridged version of the history between the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan and the two giant sects for the previous thousands of years.
Now, Qin Wushuang was sure that the two powerhouses that had caused the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan much difficulty should be the Heavenly Penance Villa and the Thunder Sound sect.
Those who issued the bounty to deal with the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan should be from these two houses.
When he thought here, Qin Wushuang could not help but ask: "Senior, the one who issued a bounty to deal the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan should one of these two groups of people, right?"
Lights flashed in Qin Shixun’s eyes. Clearly, Qin Wushuang’s question had evoked much vengeful memories. He only heard Qin Shixun saying: "That’s right, it was done by them. Not only this, each year no matter how the Hundred Leaf Qin Clan transported the crystal stones to the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan, or how much more secretive the channels are, they were often robbed. Since they robbed the wealth of the Qin Clan, could we not rob their goods?"
Qin Shixun’s tone sounded somewhat mad. Clearly, he had suffered a heavy injury because of this. Yet, he did not regret it.
"Yes, the lights of my life are about to be extinguished. However, I do not regret it. When a Qin offspring dies for the clan, and in sacrifice for the clan, it would not be considered a mark of shame. The Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan was able to hold onto this point under the joint attacks from these two powerhouses because it was supported by millions of Qin offspring who are not afraid of death. They are sending a strong signal to the enemies. Although fighting with these two powerhouses has greatly wounded the vitality of the Qin Clan, their days are not peaceful either. The same time they were consuming the Qin Clan, they were also getting consumed. To not hesitate to die for the clan! Young man, have you made up your mind?"
To not hesitate to die for the clan.
This was a belief. In fact, inside Qin Wushuang’s heart, how could he not have carried such belief? He had followed it with dignity for the Eastwood Qin, and for the Stargaze Palace.
Qin Wushuang fixed his gaze at Qin Shixun. After a while, he gave a decisive nod: "To not hesitate to die for the clan! Not only me, all the Qin offspring are like this. Ever since I was young, my father taught me this. Besides, all the Qin offspring I have met along the way has carried this point with determination, without doubt. Senior, I promise you!"
Qin Shixun was overjoyed and lights of happiness shone in his eyes: "Great, you made the right choice and accepted the giant flag to pass down the legacy of the Qin Clan. Young man, remember, you must go to the Heavenly Emperor Mountain. This is not a suggestion, but a word of advice. It is because I have a prediction that the Heavenly Emperor Qin Clan, even the fate of the Heavenly Emperor Mountain perhaps, will be saved by your shoulders alone!"
Qin Wushuang said with surprise: "Senior..."
"I will not explain it now. When you head to the Heavenly Emperor Mountain, when the time is right, everything will reveal itself."
Qin Shixun spoke with voice of conviction to suppress Qin Wushuang’s replies. At the same time, he said with a serious tone: "Young man, at last, I have only one request."
"Please tell me."
"After I die, if I still have a whole corpse, please bring my body to the Heavenly Emperor Mountain. This way, even when I enter my grave, I will not toss restlessly, and will sleep peacefully. If not, bring this chain back to the Heavenly Emperor Mountain and bury it as a substitute for my body in the Qin ancestral tomb."
Qin Shixun’s tone was extremely serious: "This is my personal request."
Qin Wushuang only felt his throat tighten as if something had blocked it as he could find any words to say. He took that chain solemnly.
There was no longer the slightest worry on Qin Shixun’s face, all that remained was calm and acceptance.
"Young man, thank you."
As Qin Shixun said this, he stood up: "Now, it’s time for me to do something for you guys."
Qin Wushuang looked at Qin Shixun with surprise as he did not understand the meaning behind his words. Qin Shixun said with a smile: "Since I entrusted you with so much, it will all be meaningful if I can make sure that you can leave alive. Or else, won’t those words become useless?"
Bao Bao and Lone looked at Qin Shixun suspiciously. Apparently, they also saw through the poor health of Qin Shixun. With his current condition, most likely he would not even defeat a normal elite warrior, not to mention those elite people waiting outside.
Among those people, especially the two strongest leaders, Qin Wushuang sensed a form of power that had surpassed even someone like Chen Sen, who was at the Profound Void Martial Stage!
In other words, that Yan Qingyun and Wu Lihu were most likely elite warriors at the Perfect Stage of the Void Martial Stage. Although they had not shattered the void and arrived at the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary, Qin Wushuang and his friends were powerless against such elite warriors.
However, Qin Shixun seemed to be full of confidence. From his chest, he took out a spiritual talisman that appeared to have an imposing shape. When that spiritual talisman expanded itself, it instantly transformed. With the flash of a red light, a giant bird that resembled a blazing phoenix soared out.
