Chapter 1868: Establishing One’s Own Power

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
In the Divine Ox Castle, the Ox Chieftain stared at Luoshen Chuan and coldly spoke, “Luoshen Chuan, you have already left the Luoshen Clan. This joyous occasion between my Divine Ox Clan and the Luoshen Clan has nothing to do with you. Why are you here for?”
Evidently, the Ox Chieftain felt some trepidation. The appearance of seven heavenly deities was more than sufficient to threaten the entire Divine Ox Castle.
“I came here to announce a thing.” Luoshen Chuan calmly replied. His words causing the gazes of everyone here to focus on him. Qin Chuan came to the Divine Ox Castle to announce something? What major thing did he want to announce?
“Back then, I gave up on the position of the Luoshen Clan Leader and have already left the Luoshen Clan. Now, I didn’t come here with the identity of the main Luoshen Clan. I’m planning to set up my own force and some old friends of mine from the Luoshen Clan have decided to follow me. From today onwards I, Luoshen Chuan, will be the fourth hegemonic power in the Desolate Region.” Luoshen Chuan serenely spoke, yet his words were like bolts of thunder exploding in the minds of everyone who heard this.
Luoshen Chuan wanted to establish his own independent power?
What did this mean?
It meant that from today onwards, the fourth hegemonic power in the Desolate Region would be born. This also indicated that the Luoshen Clan has officially fragmentated. No one doubted that Luoshen Chuan would have the ability to fragment the Luoshen Clan. He was the original clan leader and had been so for countless years. His influence and foundation in the clan was naturally extremely deep. Right now, beside him, there was already a heavenly deity from the Luoshen Clan who chose to join him.
The Luoshen Clan was once the strongest power in the Desolate Region and they had over ten heavenly deities. Even though they declined now, if one was to count Luoshen Chuan in, the current Luoshen Clan before the fragmentation, had a total of nine powerful heavenly deities. Naturally, since one of the heavenly deities was brought away by the Qin Clan, they still had eight heavenly deities on the surface. After Luoshen Clan established his own power, if the eight heavenly deities divided into two camps, each of the hegemonic powers would have four heavenly deities respectively. There won’t be a problem for Luoshen Chuan to become the fourth hegemonic power in the Desolate Region.
The fragmentation of the Luoshen Clan originally would be beneficial to the Divine Ox Clan because the Divine Ox Clan could jump to being the strongest in the Desolate Region with a single leap. However right now, things didn’t seem to be so because Luoshen Chuan was clearly already allied with the Demon God Mountain.
If it was in the past, such a situation would definitely have not occurred. The three hegemonic powers of the Desolate Region would have maintained the balance. It was only because the balance was disrupted and because of the outside interference – the Qin Clan of the Heaven Region, Luoshen Chuan decided to join forces with the Demon God Mountain.
“So what?” The Ox Chieftain icily asked.
“Luoshen Xiao of the Luoshen Clan has decided to follow me. The people of his branch will be my people from now on, including his granddaughter Luoshen Meng. Luoshen Xiao isn’t agreeable for his granddaughter to marry into the Divine Ox Clan as the Divine Ox Clan isn’t qualified. Hence, I came here to tell you that there’s no longer a need to hold the wedding. Luoshen Meng will not be marrying today.” Luoshen Chuan calmly spoke. “In addition, the words spoken by the five demon sovereigns earlier made sense. The various demons in your clan don’t really belong to your Divine Ox Clan. They belong to the Demon God Mountain. The Divine Ox Clan must release them immediately.”
“My Divine Ox Clan has already fetched her from the Luoshen Clan and is currently on their way back. How can you stop the marriage because you want to?” The Ox Chieftain coldly spoke, his voice filled with a hint of probing.
“I’ve already sent men to obstruct the chariots. If the Divine Ox Clan’s experts are willing to hand the maidens over, I can forget about this. If they refuse, that would mean that the Divine Ox Clan is planning to treat I, Luoshen Chuan, as an enemy. Hence, if your subordinates are injured, please don’t mind it too much.” Luoshen Chuan quietly spoke. After hearing Luoshen Chuan’s words, the Ox Chieftain turned ashen. As expected, these heavenly deities appearing here was to obstruct the Divine Ox Clan from sending any aid. All of this was already planned out.
And at this moment, a voice rang out in the Ox Chieftain’s mind, causing his expression to turn even more unsightly. He took out his messaging crystal and sent a voice transmission, “Luoshen Chuan and the demon sovereigns of the Demon God Mountain are currently in the Divine Ox Clan. Settle the matters there yourselves.”
After that, he kept the messaging crystal. The Ox Chieftain stared at Luoshen Chuan, “Luoshen Chuan, are you declaring a war on my Divine Ox Clan?”
“That would have to depend on your attitude. I’ve already said. If you do things according to what I said earlier, everything will be a peaceful ending. If not, if the Divine Ox Clan wants to forcibly abduct those who chose to follow me, that would be you declaring war on I, Luoshen Chuan. Since that’s the case, I will play with you all until the end.” Luoshen Chuan coldly replied. This scenario was somewhat similar to the earlier scenario of the Qin Clan and the Divine Ox Clan pressuring the Luoshen Clan.
It was just that the situation was now reversed.
Right now, Luoshen Chuan was the one holding the initiative. Upon seeing this, many people sighed. When the Divine Ox Clan bullied and humiliated the Luoshen Clan, Luoshen Mu bowed and accepted it. However, the original clan leader stood up and returned a tooth for a tooth back to the Divine Ox Clan.
“So what if I rule over the demonic beasts? They are the possessions of my clan, what has this got to do with you?” The Ox Chieftain’s voice got more and more glacial.
“To protect the social order of the Desolate Region.” Luoshen Chuan replied. When the Ox Chieftain heard that, his face instantly turned black. Social order? What the hell was that? Such an excuse was clearly insulting the intelligence of their Divine Ox Clan. However, this was how they dealt with the Luoshen Clan before too. Since both Luoshen Chuan and the demon sovereigns have joined forces, they naturally had to achieve their purposes for coming here. Was the reason important? The reasons given would all be excuses.
Now, his Divine Ox Clan met with the same choice as the Luoshen Clan. Should they compromise or start a war?
Today, countless people came here and they initially thought that it would be a day of glory for the Divine Ox Clan, this wedding would symbolize the Divine Ox Clan climbing up to glory. Yet now, all those beautiful fantasies were utterly crushed. How ironic was it? Luoshen Chuan was telling the Divine Ox Clan that he could do what they did as well.
…
At the other location, at the area where the phoenix and dragon chariots were, two heavenly deities appeared from the sky.
These two heavenly deities were heavenly deities from the Luoshen Clan. One of them was Luoshen Meng’s grandfather, Luoshen Xiao and the other one was the heavenly deity who said he wanted to escort the maidens, Luoshen Weng. Right now, both of them actually appeared here.
The expressions of the people from the Luoshen Clan, who was part of the escort team, all changed. Luoshen Qiong walked out and coldly spoke, “What do the two of you mean by this?”
“Luoshen Qiong, Luoshen Mu actually allowed the Luoshenn Clan to suffer such humiliation. Many of the people in the Luoshen Clan cannot endure this. We have to pay back this shame. Right now, clan leader has already arrived at the Divine Ox Castle and will do to them what the Divine Ox Clan did to us back then.” Luoshen Xiao spoke. The clan leader he spoke of, was naturally referring to Luoshen Chuan.
Luoshen Qiong instantly understood when he heard this. He coldly continued, “Luoshen Chuan has already given up the clan leader’s position and back then, none of you objected. Why are you guys betraying the Luoshen Clan today?”
“Betray?” Luoshen Weng sighed. “Luoshen Qiong, you guys should question your own hearts. Is the Luoshen Clan now still the Luoshen Clan? Clan leader, Luoshen Chuan, has already decided to establish his own independent power and we and some others are willing to follow him. For the sake of restoring our Luoshen Clan’s glory, do you choose to continue following Luoshen Mu, or do you want to follow our clan leader, Luoshen Chuan?”
“You guys have all gone crazy. Your betrayals will tear our Luoshen Clan apart.” Luoshen Qiong’s expression turned extremely ugly. There were two heavenly deities here. Not only that, Luoshen Tu had also vanished. Could it be that there are three heavenly deities willing to join Luoshen Chuan?
If this was the case, the strength of the entire Luoshen Clan truly would be divided into two.
“You should consider it well if Luoshen Mu’s actions can face up to the Luoshen Clan. When facing the pressure and humiliation brought on by the Qin Clan and Divine Ox Clan, he still wanted to avenge those who didn’t support him in the past. Such behavior has already clearly indicated that he isn’t fit to govern the Luoshen Clan. Let’s not waste words. If you still have some conscience left, just step aside. Now, we have already decided to follow Luoshen Chuan. My granddaughter won’t be marrying into the Divine Ox Clan. That vile spawn Devilox isn’t qualified to wed her.” Luoshen Xiao coldly spoke.
Below, on the dragon chariot, Devilox turned ashen. The experts from the Divine Ox Clan beside him all had looks of rage in their eyes. The Luoshen Clan actually went back on their word. Also, when they reported this to the Ox Chieftain, their chieftain actually told them to settle this themselves?
“Is the Luoshen Clan planning to go back on their word?” The heavenly deity from the Divine Ox Clan coldly asked.
“I’ve already said that right now, we decided to follow Luoshen Chuan. We are no longer a part of the Luoshen Clan. You bunch of vile beasts only love to fantasize. Just scram the hell back to where you come from.” Luoshen Xiao’s tone was extremely rude. This caused the anger of the experts from the Luoshen Clan to tower up into the sky. Their heavenly deity glanced at Luoshen Qiong as he spoke, “Luoshen Qiong, if we don’t settle the matter today, the Divine Ox Clan will never rest. Don’t forget that the Qin Clan was the witness. They won’t do sit aside if your Luoshen Clan reneges on its words either.”
“Let Devilox and the others continue on their way. We will obstruct the two of them.” Luoshen Qiong replied. Now, the Luoshen Clan was already fragmented. If the Divine Ox Clan and the Qin Clan were antagonized, the consequences for the Luoshen Clan would surely be extremely dire.
But now, since Luoshen Chuan appeared, let’s let all the blame shift onto him then. Luoshen Qiong would do his part and whether Luoshen Chuan could save these maidens from their fates or not, that would have to depend on Luoshen Chuan’s preparations. At the very least, on the surface, Luoshen Qiong had to clearly show that the Luoshen Clan wasn’t a part of Luoshen Chuan’s newly established power. Most probably, Luoshen Chuan also didn’t want to implicate the Luoshen Mountain where the foundations of the Luoshen Clan was stored.
“Right.” The heavenly deity from the Divine Ox Clan nodded. After that, the two of them soared into the air towards Luoshen Xiao and Luoshen Weng.
“Continue on the journey.” Devilox gave the order. The dragon and phoenix chariots continued. He coldly swept his gaze towards the escort team of the Luoshen Clan. He had to be on his guard towards these people. But at this moment, there didn’t seem to be anyone planning on creating trouble.
Luoshen Meng was extremely nervous now. She clutched her hands tightly. Her grandfather and Grandpa Weng appeared, validating the words the young man beside her said to her. However, when the four heavenly deities are in combat, who here would be able to stop the experts from the Divine Ox Clan?
The speed of the chariots was extremely fast. Behind them, crackles of heavenly might could be felt as a deity-level battle erupted. Despite traveling a long distance with their speed, they could still feel the heavenly might fluctuations. Devilox was extremely vigilant, he transmitted his voice to the experts from the Divine Ox Clan, “Be prepared, the enemy might have some other plans.”
After the voice transmission, he spoke to the escort team from the Luoshen Clan. “The Luoshen Clan can return now. Next, just the experts from my Divine Ox Clan will be enough to bring my three concubines back to the Divine Ox Castle.”
Many experts of the Luoshen Clan on the escort team understood what Devilox meant. They nodded and turned to leave. After all, the majority of people were arranged by Luoshen Mu and the family of the three beautiful maidens weren’t included in them. But even so, there are still quite a few people that were arranged to be here by Luoshen Weng. For example, the young man beside Luoshen Meng. He simply stood there unmoving and he didn’t radiate any aura. It was like everything about him was concealed.
Devilox’s sharp eyes instantly landed on that young man. Before this, he didn’t care about a mere follower. But now, after the two enemy heavenly deities appeared and in addition to the fact that this young man had no aura at all, he had to be on his guard. This young man has clearly trained in some concealment techniques.
“Didn’t you hear my words?” Devilox coldly asked.
As the sound of his voice faded, the young man beside Luoshen Meng suddenly erupted forth with a mighty aura, causing an intense pressure to permeate the atmosphere. Devilox frowned but soon after, his expression drastically changed. Coldness flickered in his eyes as he icily spoke, “Qin Wentian!”
From that intense pressure, he could sense a trace of the dao bone’s energy.
Qin Wentain’s eyes flashed, how did Devilox know it was him? His countenance changed, revealing his original handsome face. When Luoshen Meng saw Qin Wentian, she had an expression of disbelief on her face. Qin Zhong personally chased after Qin Wentian. In the end Qin Zhong, who was a heavenly deity, actually died; but Qin Wentian didn’t die at all and even appeared beside her today!
