Asura Mad Emperor

Chapter 202 Submission and Allegiance

Seeing Ye Xuanji bow his head, Qinchuan smiled faintly, "Originally, according to my plan, I intended to completely eradicate your Taixuan Sect from existence.

"For years, you have repeatedly oppressed the Congyun Sect, and now you have even launched a full-scale assault, as the founder, you cannot shirk responsibility."

"However, seeing as you have taken the initiative to come and apologize, I am willing to consider giving you a chance, to let bygones be bygones, but it all depends on whether you are willing to seize this opportunity."

The Taixuan Sect, flourishing these years, has not refrained from oppressing the Congyun Sect, and now has even launched a major attack on the Congyun Sect, seeking to completely annihilate them and seize the remnants of the Imperial Dao heritage of the Congyun Sect.

Therefore, Qinchuan naturally would not let the other party off easily.

Ye Xuanji's expression changed slightly upon hearing these words, his gaze flickered, and then he took a deep breath and said, "I have personally come to apologize this time, and the high-ranking officials and elites of my Taixuan Sect who came to attack Congyun Sect have all fallen here; isn't that enough?"

"Not enough."

Qinchuan put down the teacup he had just picked up and said indifferently, "The disciples of the Taixuan Sect can be returned to you by the Congyun Sect."

"As for the cause and effect that your Taixuan Sect has encountered from attacking the Congyun Sect, I can show you a clear path to avoid the repercussion of destiny and qi, and I can even teach you the core essence of the Heavenly Mystery Divine Pupil, the Thirty-Six Calculations of Heavenly Secrets!"

Hearing Qinchuan's words, Ye Xuanji's pupils contracted abruptly in disbelief, looking at Qinchuan, "You know the Thirty-Six Calculations of Heavenly Secrets?!"

"And you can completely protect me from the backlash of destiny and qi?"

Qinchuan was noncommittal, "The Thirty-Six Calculations of Heavenly Secrets is not just an art of deduction; it is also a method of destiny-based slaughter. By utilizing destiny, it kills imperceptibly. Although you fortuitously awakened the Heavenly Mystery Divine Pupil, the sudden obliteration of the Ye Family back then meant the Thirty-Six Calculations of Heavenly Secrets, the Ye Family's core secret teachings, had already perished with the family's downfall."

"You may have fortuitously awakened the Heavenly Mystery Divine Pupil, but it would have been impossible for the knowledge of the Thirty-Six Calculations of Heavenly Secrets to be passed on to you. Under the heavens, aside from the entity that annihilated your Ye Family, probably only I can impart the Thirty-Six Calculations of Heavenly Secrets to you."

"As for the backlash of destiny and qi, resolving this is actually quite simple."

Qinchuan's mouth curved slightly.

Ye Xuanji's expression fluctuated, "Who exactly are you? How do you know these secrets and understand the Thirty-Six Calculations of Heavenly Secrets?"

Qinchuan glanced at him, "The existence that obliterated your Ye Family, after exterminating the Ye Family, provoked a powerful force and brought calamity upon itself. As a result, the Thirty-Six Calculations of Heavenly Secrets fell into the hands of that force."

"Are you saying..."

Ye Xuanji's pupils contracted upon hearing this.

His heart churned with shock, "What is your relationship with that force?"

"That seems to be none of your concern."

Qinchuan looked at him and said methodically.

Ye Xuanji gazed at Qinchuan, his mind racing with thoughts, somewhat shaken. He had not anticipated that Qinchuan would be connected to that terrifying force.

Did that force actually have a foundation in the Tianyuan Ancient Kingdom as well?

This young man before him, so young yet possessing such composure and character, could he be the descendant trained by that force for worldly experience?

But then, why would he become the Saint Heir of the Congyun Sect?

Could it be that the Congyun Sect...

A terrifying thought surfaced in Ye Xuanji's mind.

Could the Congyun Sect be related to that force, or even be a part of it?!

At this thought, his scalp tingled with horror. If this was true, then the matter was truly terrifying.

The force that had annihilated his Ye Family in the past was already powerful enough, wiping out his entire family overnight, leaving rivers of blood.

It was apparent how formidable they were.

Yet, such a powerful entity was suppressed and crippled soon after by another force.

How powerful then is this force?

And Qinchuan, being linked with the Congyun Sect, is very likely related to that terrifying power.

No wonder his opponent, despite his young age, showed no reverence when facing him, not even regarding him, a mighty figure within the Saint Realm, and even exuded an aura stronger than his.

If the opponent truly were the descendant of that terrifying force, then everything would make sense.

After all, given the foundation of that force, how many cultivators with heavenly Cultivation Levels do they have, and what would the Saint Realm count for?

With this thought, Ye Xuanji took a deep breath; his gaze towards Qinchuan filled with even more wariness, and he became more courteous.

"There is no free lunch in this world, to inherit my Heavenly Secrets Divine Calculation, and to relieve the backlash of my destiny's Qi, what are your terms?"

Ye Xuanji spoke.

"Submit to me, pledge allegiance to me, and merge the Taixuan Sect into the Congyun Sect," Qinchuan said.

"What? You want the founding master to submit and pledge allegiance to you, a junior?! And merge the Taixuan Sect into the Congyun Sect? Qinchuan, do you realize what you're saying?!"

Hearing Qinchuan's words, Ye Xuanji had yet to speak when Zhou Yuanyi, standing behind him, suddenly burst out in anger.

To have the founding master of the Taixuan Sect, a mighty figure from the Saint Realm, submit and pledge allegiance to a junior cultivator—how dare this youngster speak such words!

This is utterly preposterous!

It's not just Zhou Yuanyi.

Even the upper echelons of the Congyun Sect were startled by Qinchuan's words.

To make a mighty figure from the Saint Realm, the founding master of the Taixuan Sect, submit and pledge allegiance to you, and to merge the Taixuan Sect into the Congyun Sect?

To them, this demand seemed utterly insane.

There was no way Ye Xuanji would agree.

In their view, such words were tantamount to provoking a battle!

However, to everyone's surprise, Ye Xuanji, the main subject of this matter, did not get angry or lose his temper upon hearing Qinchuan's words, but instead, fell into deep thought.

"When I am speaking with your ancestral master, what place do you have to interrupt, junior?" Qinchuan said, frowning as he glanced at Zhou Yuanyi and coldly rebuked him.

"You!"

Upon hearing Qinchuan's reprimand, Zhou Yuanyi was immediately incensed and about to explode in anger, but Ye Xuanji's look halted him.

Looking at Qinchuan, a sharp light flashed in Ye Xuanji's eyes as he said, "If what you say is true, why should I hesitate to submit to you?"

He had already been weighing carefully in his heart just now.

If Qinchuan could truly protect him from the backlash of destiny's Qi and genuinely master the thirty-six calculations of the Heavenly Secrets, then submitting and pledging allegiance to him might not be unacceptable.

Because by now, he was almost certain that Qinchuan was the descendant of that terrifying power.

To submit and pledge allegiance to Qinchuan would be the equivalent of pledging allegiance to that terrifying power.

Joining that terrifying force was an opportunity many could only hope for but never come across.

Moreover, that terrifying force had once suppressed and annihilated the force that destroyed the Ye Family; in a sense, they had avenged the Ye Family as well.

Therefore, to pledge allegiance to Qinchuan and join that force wasn't unacceptable at all.

However, he believed that Qinchuan was merely a descendant sent out to gain experience by that terrible force, but he could never imagine that the fearful power he perceived was merely one of the many pawns in Qinchuan's hand from those days.
