Chapter 882: Strange Saber Beard

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Outside the mountain gate, Saber Beard was not in a rush at all. It seemed he was just waiting for a good friend wearing a carefree expression.

Judging of how he looked, one could not see that this Saber Beard was absolutely irreconcilable with the Qin Clan. A few years ago, he even came with Xin Tianwen to act unbridled to attack the mountain gate.

When he saw Qin Wushuang come out, Saber Beard roared with laughter. “Indeed a heroic figure always comes from a youngster, your majesty! Ha ha, impressive, impressive. I am usually never impressed by anyone, but I am impressed by you.”

Qin Wushuang said with a cold snee, “If the way you are impressed is to be enemies with my Qin Clan, I don’t need it. Saber Beard, you acted as an accomplice to the tiger, helping Xin Tianwen attack my clan. We have yet to settle this old debt. Did you come today to finish it with me?”

Saber Beard immediately waved his hand and revealed a friendly smile. “Your majesty, please don’t misunderstand me. I did share a relationship with Xin Tianwen, but that’s because I owed him a favor. So when he invited me to attack the Qin Clan, I had no choice but to come. Later when I offended your clan, it was impossible for me to stop halfway when I was already on the pirate ship. I am a blunt person. If your clan lost, I would not have come here today. Certainly I would be celebrating with Xin Tianwen. However, Xin Tianwen lost and I don’t feel disappointed, but freed. For a useless person that cannot be supported, it would be difficult for me to stick out if I kept working with him.”

From this tone, it seemed he truly planned to make peace.

However, since Qin Wushuang did not have a good impression of Saber Beard, naturally he would not be allured by his words.

“Saber Beard, you are not telling me that you want to become friends, are you? If that’s the case, you can give up on it.”

“Ha ha, your Majesty, everyone says you have an open mind and disregard former hatred. Didn’t that Hundred Lane Clan and Thousand Feather Sect also attack you? Now, your clan still took them in as trusted aides. Could it be this breadth of mind is only on the surface for people to see? When they came to pledge loyalty, your clan accepted them. I also came to pledge my loyalty with sincerity, why not accept me? Could it be because I am a beast? If I remember correctly, you seem to have many divine beast subordinates.”

Indeed, Saber Beard was eloquent. However, it was not effective when against someone as tough as Qin Wushuang.

“Saber Beard, I admit you are eloquent. However, you are different than that Hundred Lane Clan. They were forced to help the Xin Clan. However, you and Xin Tianwen shared the same interest. Do you think you can change the way I see you by slandering a few words of Xin Tianwen?”

“Ha ha, your Majesty, in the end, you are afraid I am too powerful that you cannot override me. You don’t dare to keep me because you are afraid of me becoming a troublemaker. If that’s the case, I will leave now.”

Saber Beard was provocative and manipulative. However, it was still useless against Qin Wushuang.

“Of course you are powerful. Fine, you can pledge loyalty. However, for subordinates I cannot trust, you must be my puppet. Are you interested?”

Saber Beard’s expression changed slightly as he hummed. “Do you think you can stomp the pride of a Genuine Supreme Dao divine beast like this?”

Qin Wushuang said lightly, “Didn’t you come to me?”

Saber Beard said unhappily, “Head Chief Qin, it seems that we are not having an equal conversation. It seems I must adjust the way I negotiate.”

“It’s useless no matter what tone you use. You cannot gain my trust due to your morality. Whether you accept my condition or wait for me to settle our old debt, I will wait.”

“Qin Wushuang, you are narrow-minded!” Saber Beard could not help but blurt out.

“You are right, sometimes I am a stingy person. I am more like this especially when people threaten the survival of my clan. Saber Beard, I don’t know what intentions you have when pledging your loyalty. However, I can tell you explicitly, give up. Your little tricks are useless before me.”

Saber Beard narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, “Indeed, the youngster that enjoys success is insufferably arrogant. Qin Wushuang, don’t blame me for not warning you. That day when you offended Xuan Yuan Yang, you already made him think about killing you. Although you are the Heavenly Emperor, if he catches your fault in one day, maybe that will be the doomsday of your clan. You need helpers, not more enemies. In the end, although I attacked your clan with Xin Tianwen, there was no actual damage. There is no unforgivable grudge between us.”

“Saber Beard, let me guess, what are your intentions when pledging loyalty to the Qin Clan?” Qin Wushuang laughed, but he remained calm and unruffled.

“Humph, you can guess.”

“The first possible reason, to seek revenge for Xin Tianwen. This is a somewhat ridiculous reason. You only share a pretentious relationship with Xin Tianwen. When he struggled on his deathbed, I only saw your indifference. This reason can be eliminated. I also don’t think you are that grand.”

“Ha ha, you are right, I am selfish, I only plan for myself. Indeed, the Xin Clan are not worth risking my life for.”

“Yes, it’s good you are willing to admit this. For the second reason, perhaps you have some powerful enemy and you cannot deal with them on your own, so you want to rely on a sect and pull a teammate. Of course, this is not very likely.”

“This is certainly impossible. If I had a powerful enemy, the best thing would be to stay in hiding. Even if I needed a helper, I should have gone to the totem clan.”

“Then the last reason is simple, you are plotting something! It can only get realized through the Heavenly Emperor Gate. The Xin Clan from the past and the current Qin Clan are what you are after. By the way, do you want to enter that God Discarding Door?”

Saber Beard’s gaze became austere as he shot out a burst of coldness. Then, he laughed with joy. “Good, indeed you are good. Since you guessed my intentions, there is no need for me to conceal it. Nice, I want to try my luck at that God Discarding Door. However, for a freelance divine beast like me, unless I rely on a sect, I am not qualified to enter. The Heavenly Emperor Gate has many spots. I can sacrifice one thousand years of my freedom to be your fighter, I only ask for one spot. How about it?”

Qin Wushuang sized Saber Beard up closely, as if seeing him thoroughly. However, this Saber Beard did not evade his eyes. He looked at him and awaited his answer.

Qin Wushuang let out a snort. “Saber Beard, you want to use one thousand years of service in exchange for a spot? You make nice plans!”

When Saber Beard saw that Qin Wushuang seemed to be loosening, he immediately said, “We can talk about the time frame, how about two thousand years?”

“Sacrifice two thousand years of freedom, why are you doing this?”

Saber Beard asked with a low voice, “Why am I doing this? Isn’t it a stupid question? The God Discarding Door is the ultimate mystery of the Tian Xuan Land. The legendary gate to soar to the galaxy is in there. Let me ask you, which Genuine Supreme Dao elite warriors do not wish to soar through the galaxy, to get to the Heavenly Supreme Dao Stage?”

“Ha ha, I see. I see.” Qin Wushuang did not object.

“Head Chief Qin, think about it. I never owe favors to anyone. Once I owe you this favor, I will exert my efforts to repay you. I will do whatever you want. For someone as good as me, where else can you find someone?”

“That’s right,” Qin Wushuang said with a smile. “But haven’t you heard the saying of a verbal statement without proof? How can I prove your sincerity?”

“What sincerity do you need?” Saber Beard could not refrain from asking.

Qin Wushuang thought for a moment with deliberation. Then, he said with a serious expression, “There are always rules. To pledge loyalty to other powerhouses, you must send your proof of allegiance.”

“You want me to send proof of allegiance?” Saber Beard’s eyes lit up.

“Ha ha ha, what do you think?” Qin Wushuang was being ambiguous.

Saber Beard asked, “Tell me, who do you want me to kill? Just tell me.”

“You should think of this on your own. If I tell you who to kill, wouldn’t I become a criminal for initiating the act? I will see the sincerity you have. As for who to kill, I will not say.”

Saber Beard’s eyes lit as he reached a mutual understanding. He chuckled. “I understand. Ha ha, Head Chief Qin, wait for me. You will love my sincerity.”

Qin Wushuang chuckled. “I will wait and see.”

After he finished speaking, he walked into the mountain gate and ignored Saber Beard. Glaring at the parting figure of Qin Wushuang, Saber Beard gnashed his teeth with resentment, “You just wait. If the totem elite warrior deliberately pushes me out and does not let me participate, would I come to ask you? Wait, wait for me to finish the mission. If I don’t put you in your place and pull out your tendons, it will just barely rid me of my hatred for you.”

Thinking about his pledge for allegiance, a cold smile spilled from Saber Beard’s mouth. As he looked towards the direction of the Xin Clan leisurely, he muttered to himself, “Xin Tianwen, you must be lonely in the underworld. I shall send your brother Xin Tianchen with you. You will not be lonely when you are with each other.”

Saber Beard had great ambitions and was extremely ruthless. He would not care about his relationship with Xin Tianwen. In fact, he was only putting on a show. When he spent all the effort to help Xin Tianwen, it turned out to be useless. Saber Beard felt as though he was fooled by Xin Tianwen.

If Xin Tianwen became the Heavenly Emperor, he would not have come to ask for Qin Wushuang’s help.

Inside the mountain gate of the Xin Clan, all the prohibitions were turned out. They adhered to their home closely, like birds startled by the mere twang of a bow. Currently, fearing the revenge from the Qin Clan, the Heavenly Punishing Villa and Sound of Thunder Sect already moved out from the Heavenly Emperor Mountain. They ran away in their own separate ways. Presently, Xin Tianchen was the only Supreme Dao warrior of the clan. Naturally, he suffered in silence. Yet each day, he was alarmed, like a startled bird.

On this day, when he heard that Saber Beard came to visit, a strange expectation emerged from Xin Tianchen’s heart as he said urgently, “Please have him come in, quickly!”

When Saber Beard entered the mountain gate, he saw the desolated clan. Each of the disciples were dejected and dispirited. Inwardly, he laughed coldly. “The Xin Clan is sinking, one of your feet is already inside the coffin. I am only helping them to transcend. By the way, they should thank me, I freed them from a struggling life. Anyways, they will get destroyed by the Qin Clan anyway. Why not let me do it?”

Thinking here, on the corner of his mouth, that bewitching smile became bigger.
