Chapter 1719 - All Parties Friendly
Celestial Clan came, making many people reveal a strange expression. Quite a few people had heard of the grudges between Huang and this clan.
Shi Hao was a bit surprised. He had just ‘brought away’ the clan’s immortal stone, yet the other party already came knocking on their door. Was this really for easing the relationship? He reckoned the other side most likely wanted to ask for that immortal stone back.
There was no way he would back off. This stone was too important for him, it could resonate with the Void Immortal Gold Stele, produce unmatched scriptures. If not for him always searching for a path back into the lower realms recently, he would have long started his research of it.
“Celestial Clan’s elder wishes for a visit.” Someone reported again.
Earlier, Qin Yining carried anger, wishing to chase this clan’s envoy out, only leaving behind Yun Xi, but in the end, Celestial Clan’s experts didn’t agree, still requesting a visit.
“Alright, let them in.” Qin Yining said.
She also knew that the one the other side was scared of was Shi Hao, her eldest son, fearing that once he grew up, he would come to Celestial Clan to really settle everything.
The reason she was angry, somewhat losing her cool, was because she felt sorry for Shi Hao. Back then, he had showed kindness, yet in the end, the other side almost tortured him to death.
She wanted to use this chance to vent out her resentment, get repayment for her eldest son.
Celestial Clan’s elder came in. When he saw important figures from other great sects in the hall, even sect masters, he was deeply shocked.
Previously, Celestial Clan’s elder thought that he had already bowed his head a bit by not leaving even though he was refused, considered giving Immortal Mountain face. However, it now seemed like this could only be considered ‘reasonable’.
Those who could become envoys were naturally gifted at speech. This elder from Celestial Clan was extremely polite, not mentioning past things, only tactfully expressing that they were willing to make some remunerations.
“What type?” Shi Ziling asked coldly. He also had a clump of resentment stifled in his chest, feeling like he should act more harshly because of what the clan did back then.
This elder secretly transmitted sound, claiming that they were willing to lend Shi Hao the Flying Immortal Stone for now, as long as he returned it in the future.
Towards this, Shi Ziling faced it indifferently.
Shi Hao laughed, not saying anything. It was because this was his spoils of war. As for whether or not he would accept or reject Celestial Clan, that’ll depend on his mood.
Celestial Clan’s elder sighed. He knew that this immortal stone would most likely be forever gone. Perhaps they could only entrust their hopes onto Yun Xi.
He opened his mouth, but in the end, he braced himself and brought up the events of the past, saying that Celestial CLan was too impulsive, that they shouldn’t have troubled Huang.
Moreover, he carefully expressed that Yun Xi and Shi Hao were on good terms before, close friends, so they were now willing to send her with Shi Hao down into the lower realms.
There were still emissaries from other great sects and even sect masters here.
These words originally should have been discussed in private, but Qin Yining didn’t give him the chance, only receiving Celestial Clan’s emissary under this type of situation, which was why he could only remain here.
In the palace, many people revealed surprised expressions, quite a few people directly starting to discuss among themselves, making Celestial Clan’s experts’ face become red with heat.
It was because Celestial Clan was a great sect, even if it declined now, its reputation was still there. In the archaic years, it contended for the title of emperor in the three thousand provinces!
Even though they couldn’t be compared to before now, they still had their prestige, their backing, leftover glory. However, today, they had to lower their stance like this, it really did leave others shaken.
A purple-clothed young lady walked into the palace hall, her long purple hair hanging down, skin spotlessly white and brilliant, eyes large, slender and elegant. She was truly captivating, beauty hiding the moon and shaming the flowers.
This type of beauty didn’t need many words to describe it. It made a few elders reveal expressions of shock, inwardly shaken. One had to understand that these individuals were old monsters who had lived for an endless amount of time, long unaffected by secular ideals.
Yun Xi’s complexion was rosy, feeling extremely embarrassed, at the same type carrying irritation. She felt like coming to Qin Clan like this, showing herself in the hall was extremely humiliating.
Towards the clan’s arrangements, she was extremely opposed.
In the past, her relationship with Shi Hao was extremely close, but now, she was pushed out by the clan, it wasn’t a type of equal association. When she thought of their past relationship, and then looked at the current situation, she found it a bit hard to speak.
“Yun Xi, have a seat here.” Shi Hao invited her to have a seat, not willing to see her being stared at, being embarrassed here either.
He felt like Celestial Clan was too impractical, actually doing this type of thing, not considering how Yun Xi felt at all. If it was him in her place, he would definitely feel like this crossed the line, that it was embarrassing.
“Elder, I am not an item, I am a flesh and blood celestial!” Yun Xi didn’t say this out loud, but instead transmitted sound.
She was resisting, but she still didn’t wish for others to hear her, make Celestial Clan into a laughingstock.
However, those gathered here were all experts, some able to intercept messages. At the very least, those set masters and supreme elders could do it, because her cultivation level was still not enough.
Shi Hao naturally heard this as well.
When Celestial Clan’s elder saw the change in expression of some people’s faces, he immediately knew what happened, his face falling. He was also a bit upset, Celestial Clan was losing face today again.
“I am still rather fond of this child, just leave her here. You can leave.” Qin Yining said, even though her cultivation couldn’t compare to Celestial Clan’s elder, her own son was enough to threaten them. Thus, she spoke out, moreover full of confidence.
This wasn’t bullying others too far, but rather facing Celestial Clan coldly. The other clan already did all those things, so why would she face them with respect?
The situation immediately became a bit rigid. After all, this was Celestial Clan, a great clan who used to be called an Emperor Clan in the three thousand provinces, extremely influential. That was why some people tried to smooth things over.
Soon afterwards, a few other clans came over to pay a visit.
It was because they all knew that Shi Hao might leave any day now. It was rare for him to actually show up in Immortal Mountain, so they all came to pull their relationship closer.
What was shocking was that even someone from Demonic Sunflower Garden came.
They didn’t send over any gifts, their attitudes ordinary, not like they wanted to dissolve any grudges. They only came here to listen to the situation.
Then, someone from Underworld Earth came, still rather polite. Even though that black skeleton carried underworld death energy, they still sent over some gifts.
Someone from Heavenly Country also came, the gifts ordinary, attitude a bit cold, clearly here just to learn more about the situation.
These people’s arrival left many people shocked. At the very least, it expressed that these great clans didn’t plan to worsen their relationship with Huang in the short term.
In these people’s eyes, Huang’s rise could no longer be stopped!
They felt that their grudge with Huang back then was too great, normally difficult to dissolve. It seemed like most of them had privately reached some type of agreement.
Even though these clans didn’t seem all that friendly, it left more sects shocked, thus causing a group of people to come.
“Western Sect’s Duo Mo’s carriage has arrived.” Someone reported.
Many people were shaken when they heard this. This was a powerful individual from Western Sect, his status venerable, extremely formidable. He had lived for an endless amount of time.
Duo Mo arrived. He wore a set of worn silk clothes that were scarlet red like blood, many golden threads weaved into it. It was already quite worn, giving one an ancient and profound feeling.
Many people were shocked. This should be an ancient figure from the last great era, what he wore was a protective precious artifact from the ancient monk bloodline -- a kasaya.
Duo Mo brought some gifts, including a bead that lacked luster. It was light yellow with black stripes. As a result, the eyes of the Fearless Lion at Shi Hao’s side became sharp, staring fiercely at it without letting it go.
This was a pellet of ancient monk ashes, absolutely priceless, yet it ended up being gifted to Shi Hao.
Many people were moved. The remnants of an ancient monk from the last great era, every single item was precious, let alone the final ‘dao bones’ left behind after destruction, which were even more astonishing!
“Regardless of how great the grudge there was between us, with these ashes, it should be enough to dissolve it.” The golden lion inwardly gulped, staring rigidly at it.
Western Sect was deep and immeasurable, only they could gift this type of thing.
Shi Hao didn’t act overly polite, directly accepting it.
Then, what left all sides shocked was that the visitors who came afterwards came from Desolate Border. There were visitors from Tuogu Yulong’s family, as well as Wei Family Four Phoenixes’ family. These were all but long life families.
Of course, Tuogu Yulong and the other younger generation individuals didn’t come, still roaming about the Nine Heavens. They wouldn’t return for quite some time.
This triggered a commotion. Even people from long life families appeared, coming here to see him off, this left a few inheritances from the three thousand provinces deeply shaken, becoming even more prudent and careful.
They now knew that Huang’s battle accomplishment in Imperial Pass was even more dazzling than the rumors, or else this wouldn’t be the case.
Then, someone from Heaven Mending Sect came. This was the inheritance from the three thousand provinces, affiliated with the Nine Heavens’ Heaven Mending Dao.
They sent over a letter, informing Shi Hao that Yue Chan and Qing Yi were preparing to merge together, become one. If Shi Hao had the time, he could wait a bit, because she would then come down to the three thousand provinces.
Heaven Mending Sect’s people not only sent over a letter, they also spoke tactfully, extremely polite when conversing with Qin Yining.
Everyone was moved. How powerful was Heaven Mending Sect? They had the Nine Heavens’ Heaven Mending Dao to rely on, this tree really had deep roots, a long life undying inheritance behind them. Their holy lady definitely couldn’t be married to others, yet now, it seemed like they were clearly loosening up!
“Heh, it really is laughable. Just a dead person, yet you all are going to such great efforts to neutralize the grudge. Is there even a need?”
Right at this time, an extremely cold laugh sounded right outside Qin Clan, shaking the skies. The sound spread like ocean waves, rippling outwards.
