Immortal of the Nine Realms

Chapter 638: Tearing Off the Mask

Qi Fa's expression froze, and he looked awkwardly embarrassed.

After all this time, it turned out the other party was also a disciple of the Void Immortal Sword Sect?

He had intended to use this opportunity to make the other party reconsider, and even if they were to help the Langya clan, they shouldn’t make it so obvious. But he hadn’t expected the other party to be so straightforward about their background.

The Qin Clan's ancestor suddenly snorted coldly. "So what if he is?"

He continued, "Can a disciple of the Void Immortal Sword Sect dictate the outcome of a whole region’s conflict? The rules of the Central Continent have long been established. Since the Langya clan initiated the trouble, they should bear the responsibility for it."

He then looked at Jiang Tian’ai. "Lady Jiang, before making a decision, shouldn’t you consult with the elders of the Giant Immortal Sect? The elders should be able to give a fair judgment and prevent the Giant Immortal Sect's reputation from being affected."

His words carried a veiled threat, warning her that if she acted recklessly, she would bring disrepute to the Giant Immortal Sect.

"Senior Qin, isn’t this wrong?" Fang Chen said with confusion. "I recall that at the time... you captured Langya Yu, and she personally admitted she hadn’t consumed the Three Solar Fruit. But before she could say anything more, you killed her with a single palm...."

Fang Chen paused. "In addition, I also recovered a Three Solar Fruit for Lady Chu Lan. Regardless of any misunderstandings, there should be no more conflict. If there’s a dispute, whether it was initiated by the Immortal Qin Clan or the Langya clan, I believe the Void Immortal Sword Sect can also provide a fair judgment."

The expressions of the Langya clan members took a turn. "What?! Langya Yu died in the Immortal Qin Clan's hands!? No wonder we haven’t been able to find her recently!"

Glancing at the Qin Clan’s ancestor, Langya Xing Zhou asked Fang Chen, "Young friend, you found another Three Solar Fruit for him?"

Fang Chen nodded lightly. "Yes, I did. But I’m not sure if it's the one the Immortal Qin Clan lost."

"Brother Qin, isn’t this unfair? Since you already have a Three Solar Fruit, why continue this war with us?" Langya Xing Zhou said coldly.

The crowd looked somewhat puzzled. Not all the clan leaders were aware of the details, and now they were starting to question whether the conflict between the Immortal Qin Clan and the Langya clan was indeed due to the loss of the Three Solar Fruit, or if there were other reasons.

The Qin Family’s ancestor slowly looked at Fang Chen. After a few moments of silence, just as everyone thought he was contemplating how to explain, he suddenly chuckled lightly. "Young friend, your cultivation is too low, so you failed to identify the Three Solar Fruit. The one you recovered was not a real Three Solar Fruit."

He smiled. "I only went along with it because you were helping my descendants. It seems you misunderstood."

"Yes, he’s only at the Golden Core Realm, how could he recognize a Three Solar Fruit?" the Wei Clan's ancestor immediately chimed in with a smile. "You didn’t understand the true intention of Brother Qin and misunderstood him."

At this moment, a young man emerged from the Wei Clan. He was the family head's son, Wei Haisheng. He looked at Jiang Tian’ai, then at Fang Chen, before saying, "This conflict has already reached the Nine Generation Prince. He believes that the Langya Clan is at fault and that the matter should be resolved according to the Immortal Qin clan’s terms. If an agreement cannot be reached, the Nine Generation King’s Manor may intervene personally."

The Nine Generation Prince?!

The crowd was slightly taken aback, unsure whether to trust the words of this younger member of the Wei Clan, especially since it was not the Wei Clan's ancestor or one of the high-level cultivators who spoke.

"Alas... I did not want to state this directly, but the Langya Clan's actions have been too disgraceful. The Nine Generation Prince was very displeased upon learning of it, as the Azure Dao Manor is also part of the Western Continent."

Qi Jian let out a gentle sigh, and his words immediately made the clan leaders present gasp.

Was it true? Has the Nine Generation Prince intervened?

"Fortunately, we didn’t waver earlier. With the Nine Generation Prince on the side of the Immortal Qin Clan, the Langya Clan is in trouble. The ordinary disciples of the Void Immortal Sword Sect, even when combined with the geniuses of the Immortal Giant Sect, cannot match the status of the Nine Generation Prince...."

The crowd exchanged various messages, their hearts filled with unease. The Nine Generation Prince was far beyond the reach of ordinary disciples. Such a presence, whenever they traveled, would be accompanied by at least a Heavenly Immortal or even a Dao Union Realm expert. A single cough could shake the entire Western Continent!

Qi Jian's face darkened. He did not want to reveal the existence of the Nine Generation Prince unless absolutely necessary, as this was the Prince’s will. However, with the situation deteriorating and the potential of the Langya Clan acquiring the Immortal Qin clan’s Dao Orthodoxy the Nine Generation Prince would likely place some blame on him.

All of this trouble was because of the person named Fang and that person named Jiang from the Giant Immortal Sect!

"No matter whose intention it is," Langya Xing Zhou took a deep breath and said slowly, "It is impossible for us to hand over the Dao Orthodoxy"

"Then you want to fight? Fine, I’ll destroy your entire clan within six months!" the Qin Family's ancestor shouted angrily.

Qi Jian coldly stood up. "Since that’s the case, there’s no need for further negotiation. Everyone, go back and prepare for a fight."

At that moment, an immortal ship suddenly emerged from the clouds, and a voice came from within, "The Azure Dao Manor cannot be in chaos, so neither can you fight. A death struggle? Qi Jian, who allowed you to make such a declaration?"

Everyone was startled, as the person directly called Qi Jian by name, indicating they were someone significant.

"Who is that? The voice sounds somewhat familiar," Fang Chen remarked, surprised.
