Chapter 1163: 1177 - Doomed

Chapter 1177, Doomed

The conversation did not last long, and about half an hour later, Ye Qingyu, led by Sun Li, left the ancestral home of the Sun clan.

Outside the heavily guarded hall, dozens of top members of the Sun clan, including the current head of the Sun clan, Chief Commander Sun Yi, watched Ye Qingyu leave with a complex expression on their faces.  

Because the Sovereign of the Sun clan did not conceal this matter from these people——Sending Ye Qingyu into the Immortal Domain was not something that can be kept a secret and would sooner or later be heard. Therefore, the higher-ups of the Sun clan were the first to know that the clan's most precious resource, the last place of entering the Immortal Domain for training was given to the outsider who had just left.

“Why? Such a valuable place...” 

Although unwilling, it was a decision made by the old ancestor of their clan, thus no one dared to object.  

“Yes, we will not even frown if old ancestor wants our lives, as long as it is for the clan, we are willing to do anything, but why should the last spot that could revitalize our clan be given to an outsider?” Another aristocrat of the Sun clan expressed his puzzlement.

Others nodded one after another. 

“Old ancestor must have his purpose for doing so. The will of old ancestor is not something you and I can guess. Don't think too much into it, just act according to old ancestor's command.” Chief Commander Sun Yi ran his eyes across the crowd. “In a few days, this matter will spread out. Pass on the message that all of the people of my clan cannot talk about this matter in private, and even more must not be disrespectful to Military Judge Zhang Longcheng.” 

He had an extremely high prestige among the clan, so after he spoke out, the crowd also stopped talking.

“Scatter.” Chief Commander Sun Yi waved his hand, seeming somewhat dispirited. 

Why would old ancestor give this spot to Zhang Longcheng? 

Chief Commander Sun Yi knew very clearly. 

Quite simply because to this day the Sun clan still have not had a real genius born in the clan. Although little heaven's pridelings such as Sun Li existed in the Sun clan, it was impossible for him to compete with the real geniuses of other great forces, and his strength had not reached the point where it can support the future of the Sun clan. 

In the past, old ancestor could patiently wait because of his long life yuan.  

But now, old ancestor had only ten years of life remaining; he cannot wait any longer. 

Since there wasn't a genius within the clan that could support the future of the clan, the place to train in the Immortal Domain would only go to waste. Thus it was better to seek assistance from an external force. Over the years, the Sun clan seemed to be enjoying resounding fame throughout Royal City and outstanding status, but that was only because of the existence of a present age sovereign. Apart from this, other foundation cannot match that of real top aristocratic clans, and it was only the spot to train in the Immortal Domain that was the most impressive. 

To take this place to train in the Immortal Domain as the condition and bargaining chip in exchange for an external force to support the Sun clan was something that old ancestor has been thinking for a few years. There was only one chance. They must succeed without fail, so they must be cautious. 

The reason why other top aristocratic families and forces were not a target of cooperation was because, in this world, where the weak are prey to the strong, these aristocratic families that do not hesitate to step on bones and blood to rise to the top, would betray any promise for benefits. Even if it they were to be given the place to train in the Immortal Domain, the aristocratic families may keep their promises at the start, protect the Sun clan for a while, but may not protect the Sun clan forever as the sovereign of the Sun clan expects. 

Moreover, in the present age, only a Martial Emperor, a sovereign of Royal City, could help the Sun clan remain strong and maintain outstanding status in the Dark Realm even after the loss of the sovereign of the Sun clan——and it was best for him to be a newly born Martial Emperor. 

Therefore, the Sovereign of the Sun clan had long projected his eyes to the younger generation who have the hope of becoming a new Martial Emperor, but unfortunately there hasn't been a suitable candidate so far——A talented genius that was good enough to become a Martial Emperor was not that easy to find. Moreover, this person had to be a loyal, righteous and kept to one's promises. That was even harder to find.  

It was only when [Military Judge of the Nine Swords] Zhang Longcheng appeared that the Sovereign of the Sun clan's eyes lit up.

After some observation, and some calculations, Zhang Longcheng became the candidate. 

Undoubtedly, in the view of Chief Commander Sun Yi, this was one of the Sun clan's craziest and most adventurous investments. Once successful, they would maintain the status of the clan once and for all, and even if the old ancestor died, there would be no impact on the clan. But if the gamble failed, it was estimated that at most, ten years later, the Sun clan would become a speck of dust in the Dark Realm.

These were not his predictions. 

These were what the Sovereign of the Sun clan said himself. 

Although the talent and martial arts ability of Chief Commander Sun Yi was only able to preserve the accomplishments of previous generations, the Sovereign of the Sun clan still extremely valued him and thus did not hide this from Chief Commander Sun Yi.  

And Chief Commander Sun Yi, after knowing this, also did not speak out in front of other people.

Because not everyone can consider so much, and not everyone was willing to accept the fact that the talents of the Sun clan were gradually fading and had to rely on the power of outsiders. Sun Yi even more did not want the words and behaviour of the people in the clan, who lack foresight, to offend Zhang Longcheng, leading to all old ancestor's effort wasted. 

By the time the news of the Immortal Domain place spread, all of the beings of the Dark Realm would understand that the Sun clan and Zhang Longcheng are completely tied to the same chariot. At that point, it was most likely that there would be more great forces carefully re-judging and analyzing Zhang Longcheng without prejudice, and will realize the great potential within this little General. 

It can be imagined that, at that time, there would certainly be some top forces and existences, who do not want to see the success of the Sun clan's plan, and would attempt to ruin the plan in various ways and means, or even attack Zhang Longcheng or sow dissension between Zhang Longcheng and the Sun clan. 

At that time, he, as the head of the clan, would carry a great deal of pressure. He must eliminate all the hidden dangers in advance, in order to avoid the Sun clan facing the situation of losing both the chicken and the eggs. In particular, if Zhang Longcheng really became a new Martial Emperor and the Sun clan had become enemies with him, it really would become the biggest joke in the world. 

“Zhang Longcheng, this person, I cannot see through him. The him now should not be the real him. I cannot see through his true face, but from his body, there is not only a powerful energy, but also Dao qi. It is only a matter of time for him to become Emperor. This is my Sun clan's last chance.”  

These words of the old ancestor rang in the ear of Chief Commander Sun Yi. 

He let out a long sigh and turned away. 

……

……

At the same time. 

King Zhenyuan also came to the Sky Fox clan's mansion. 

He had a great reputation and high prestige in the whole Royal City. The King of Zhenyuan’s residence was also a high and mighty presence in Royal City that countless forces look up to, but in fact, the King of Zhenyuan’s residence was not the top powerful clan, but the Sky Fox clan. 

Therefore, King Zhenyuan, after coming into the Sky Fox clan's mansion, also appeared very solemn and respectful. 

At this time, he already knew that the second Martial Emperor who appeared above the east city gate was the old ancestor of the Sky Fox clan. King Zhenyuan also had vaguely guessed why the Sky Fox clan invited him here. 

A moment later, King Zhenyuan saw the old ancestor of the Sky Fox clan. 

This was not the first time he saw a present age Martial Emperor, but in the face of the supreme existence of the Sky Fox clan, King Zhenyuan still felt the fear, awe and reverence of facing a Martial Emperor for the first time. So many years had passed since then, he thought that after he had made rapid progress in his martial arts cultivation and was much more powerful than he was in the past he would not have the same fear when he sees a Martial Emperor again, but that did not seem to be the case...  

A Martial Emperor was indeed worthy of being called an existence that stands at the highest peak of the world. 

Being infinitely close to a Martial Emperor also at the same time meant that there was an infinite distance to the real Martial Emperor realm. 

In the ancestral cave, King Zhenyuan and the old ancestor of the Sky Fox clan talked for half an hour. 

When King Zhenyuan came out from the ancestral cave, he could not help a smile forming across his face. It was evident that he was in an extremely good mood, and had made unexpected huge harvests in his bargaining with the old ancestor of the Sky Fox clan.

Under the escort of the masters of the Sky Fox clan, King Zhenyuan left. 

Just after the departure of King Zhenyuan, a spy of the Sky Fox clan hurriedly rushed back to the mansion to report the latest news to the Patriarch. 

After the Patriarch heard the report, he immediately went to the ancestral cave to notify the old ancestor of the Sky Fox clan.  

“Huh? The Sun clan has made such a choice? Haha, that old thing really is ready to risk everything. He even gave away the place to train in the Immortal Domain to Zhang Longcheng. It seems, he really is very optimistic about this little General, I am also quite surprised...” The black and white Sky Fox ancestor sat cross-legged on the eight-sided platform, carefully pondering over something. He then sneered, “That old thing of the Sun clan is calculating, but unfortunately, he is doomed to fail. This Zhang Loncheng will certainly die on the Azure Cloud Platform. There is only three months of time. Even if he were to enter the Immortal Domain, what progress can he make? Haha, just in case, order someone to send over my clan's [Nine Mistake Reincarnation Plate] to Yuan Wenjun, for him to use on the Azure Cloud Platform.” 

“Huh? Old ancestor please think twice, the [Nine Mistake Reincarnation Plate] is your Emperor Life Treasure weapon, how can you lend to it outsiders?” The Patriarch of the Sky Fox clan was taken aback when he heard this. “Today, Yuan Wenjun has already received an Imperial weapon from our clan, he should be able to deal with that little General.”

“A lion must also do his utmost even when fighting against a rabbit. This time, we cannot be careless. After all, that old thing of the Sun clan has created many miracles in the past. No matter when, you should not underestimate the plan of a Martial Emperor, even if he is dying.” 

“Yes, I will remember,” the Patriarch of the Sky Fox clan hurriedly responded. 

It was only now that he really understood how much importance the old ancestor attached to the Battle of the Azure Cloud Platform. It seems that the little General called Zhang Longcheng is absolutely doomed.
