Nine Princes Struggle for the Throne: The Mad Prince

Chapter 235: The Four Ancient Clans Gather in Central China

Qin capital, the forbidden area of ​​the imperial palace.

"I never expected the Immortal Sect to secretly send out a terrestrial immortal. What are they planning to do?"

Qin Yiming's face was gloomy.

He truly hadn't expected the Immortal Sect to be so shameless.

How dare they break the rules!

"Leaving aside the fact that the Immortal Sect secretly sent out a terrestrial immortal, do you know who killed Shuiyue? Was it someone you sent? It's best not to hide it now, otherwise it will be difficult to handle once it's found out."

Man Hong's expression was solemn.

He now wants to know who sent the terrestrial immortal to kill Shuiyue.

This is no small matter; if not handled properly, it could lead to a direct war between immortals.

Now is not the time for a war between immortals.

"Not our people."

Qin Yiming shook his head.

"They're not one of ours either."

Zhou Wuji also shook his head.

"We also did not send any powerful terrestrial immortals."

The last old man also shook his head; this person came from the Gu Clan, one of the four ancient clans.

His name is Wu Qianxie, and he is also a third-level deacon with the cultivation of a Grandmaster of the Extreme Realm. He is the current head of the Gu Clan in Zhongzhou.

The four of them gathered together because of the fall of Shuiyue from the Immortal Sect.

The four people's answers silenced everyone.

None of the four ancient clans sent any experts at the Land Immortal Realm. Which force was so audacious?

As for doubts about them, none of the four doubted them; no one dared to hide such a thing.

Otherwise, even if they are not afraid, they will still have to pay a price if they face the wrath of the Immortal Sect alone.

Moreover, they were unwilling to start a war between immortals at this time.

"If it wasn't one of our four ancient clans, then what force was so audacious as to kill a first-realm terrestrial immortal, or at least a third-realm immortal? How could such a person have arrived in the Central Continent so quietly?"

Qin Yiming said with a gloomy face.

"I'm afraid someone wants to secretly instigate a war between immortals, wanting to see our four ancient clans fight against the immortal sects so they can reap the benefits."

Wu Qianxie said.

This kind of thing has happened before.

This has happened many times in history, and each time it has occurred, a large number of powerful individuals have perished.

"If that's the case, we'll be in big trouble. Now that a powerful terrestrial immortal has appeared in Zhongzhou, we must inform our clan and have them send a terrestrial immortal to oversee the situation."

"We also need to inform the Immortal Sect, lest they be tricked."

Zhou Wuji nodded as well.

It's already beyond their control. If there's no terrestrial deity to protect them, they won't be able to stop that mysterious terrestrial deity from attacking them.

"Everyone, it seems that our four ancient clans will have to join forces again this time."

"Otherwise, those people from the Immortal Sect might take advantage of this opportunity to attack us."

Man Hong spoke.

This matter was too important for him to make this suggestion.

"Yes, we really need to join forces. I will immediately contact a powerful member of my Qin clan to oversee things. Everyone should also quickly inform their clans."

"We also need to pressure the higher-ups to put pressure on the Immortal Sect, otherwise the Immortal Sect might not allow us to send out terrestrial immortals ahead of schedule."

Qin Yiming exhaled a breath of stale air before speaking.

He planned to contact the Eleventh Elder and ask him to send someone over.

Let's make sure we're not attacked by some mysterious terrestrial deity first.

"Brother Yiming, I remember that although your Qin clan is the closest to here, it will probably take some time to send someone here quickly!"

Zhou Wuji looked at Qin Yiming.

He understood the implication in Qin Yiming's words; it seemed the Qin clan had already dispatched a terrestrial immortal.

They just didn't enter the territory of Zhongzhou.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have said they would first invite a powerful terrestrial immortal to oversee the situation.

"Rest assured, our Qin clan will not break the rules. There are powerful figures in our clan who are in seclusion in the Western Sea. This time, we are simply asking this senior to come out of seclusion early. Once the clan gives its response, we may send another powerful figure to replace him."

Qin Yiming came up with an excuse.

He couldn't possibly say that his clan had already sent a powerful terrestrial immortal to Shenwu Island.

It would also be impossible to reveal Qin Wu's cultivation level.

And there's nothing wrong with his reasoning.

After all, once they reach the terrestrial immortal realm, some will hold positions within their clans, while others will only hold nominal positions and will remain hidden in various places to cultivate in seclusion.

It's not impossible that they have powerful members of the Qin clan who are in seclusion in the Western Sea.

Hearing Qin Yiming's words, the others didn't dare to ask any more questions.

This is a secret of the Qin clan; asking too many questions will not benefit anyone.

"Alright, then I'll trouble Brother Yiming to ask that expert to come and oversee things while we await the clan's response."

Man Hong didn't ask any further questions.

"Alright, let's all go back and inform our clans."

After they finished speaking, they all left.

They need to hurry, and this gathering is just to find out if the other three races were behind it.

Now that it's confirmed they're not from those four clans, we need to go back and prepare.

After the three left.

The retired emperor came out from behind.

"Brother Jiade, was this incident caused by that brat Wu?"

After the Emperor Emeritus sat down, Qin Yiming immediately asked the question.

It wasn't that he wanted to doubt Qin Wu, but based on his understanding, Qin Wu was probably the only one in the Central Continent capable of doing such a thing, and most importantly, he probably had the guts to do it.

"I don't know either, but based on what I know about that kid, he's definitely capable of doing this. I just don't know if he did it himself."

The retired emperor said with a solemn expression.

He wasn't sure either, but in his mind it was most likely Qin Wu who did it.

"If it really is him, then we're in trouble. We absolutely cannot let it be found out."

Qin Yiming said solemnly.

“If he dares to do it, he won’t leave any clues. He never leaves any clues in what he does. Even if you know it was him, you won’t be able to find any evidence.”

The retired emperor said with a wry smile.

When Qin Wu first returned, he killed quite a few people; everyone knows it was him.

However, no evidence could be found.

That's the most frustrating part.

Qin Wu was too cautious and bold in his actions, always planning everything in advance.

With this move, it's practically impossible for the Immortal Sect to find evidence.

"That's for the best. But wasn't it said a while ago that the kid was in seclusion? When did he come out? And why did he secretly come back?"

Qin Yiming was somewhat puzzled.

He has maintained contact with Shenwu Island. If he remembers correctly, a few days ago, news came from there that Qin Wu was still in seclusion and had not left.

"I don't know. He's hiding a lot of things, and none of us know how much he's hiding."

"Perhaps it wasn't him who made the move this time, but rather one of his hidden forces."

The retired emperor shook his head.

He knew very well that Qin Wu's power had never been fully exposed.

No one knows how much strength he is hiding.

After all, he was powerful enough, and the influence he had revealed was enough to intimidate everyone, so no one dared to investigate him.

This also resulted in them knowing very little about Qin Wu.
