Soaring of Galaxia

The map of the Aspiring Throne Mountain was completely unfolded and all defense mechanisms had clear indications.

Qin Xiaotian said, “Everyone, for this battle the tactic of the Qin Clan is very simple, we will simply defend and stand ground. Perhaps you feel that with our tens and thousands of years of inheritance, why should we proceed with a defensive tactic? Perhaps, many of you have the illusion that the Qin Clan must have some hidden seniors.”

A light smile overflowed from the corner of Qin Xiaotian’s mouth as he nodded. “Now I can tell you guys certainly that regardless of the clan, it’s impossible for any so-called mysterious warriors to appear. The number of Supreme Dao elite warriors are all apparent in the records.”

Qin Wushuang did not carry such illusion. If a sect had mysterious elite warriors in hiding, they would never stay completely hidden forever. Since the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates had restrained each other for all these years, they thoroughly knew the warriors in each other’s sects.

Qin Yunran and Qin Chongyang both laughed. Only within their smile, there was some bitterness.

“The Heavenly Emperor Gate has four Supreme Dao elite warriors. The Heavenly Punishing Villa and the Sound of Thunder Sect each have two. However, after Wushuang killed one, only one remains. Luo Tongtian of the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect would never miss such a thing. For the other neutral sects, besides the Yun Clan that will not get involved, the other three will change sides definitely. Therefore, we will at least be facing eight Supreme Dao elite warriors, at most there will be fourteen or fifteen!”

Qin Xiaotian was not speaking these frightening words to scare people. At the Heavenly Emperor Gate, the Heavenly Punishing Villa and the Sound of Thunder Sect, besides the dead Lei Ming, there would be seven of them. Plus Luo Tongtian, would be the eighth.

For the Thousand Feather Sect, Hundred Lane Clan, and the Mysterious Reform Gate, each had two Supreme Dao elite warriors. In total, there would be fourteen!

Yet, the Qin Clan only had three!

The difference between strength was incredibly wide!

“Everyone, I am sure that you all understood clearly the tough situation. In our Qin Clan, besides the three Chiefs, we do not have any other Supreme Dao elite warriors. In terms of strength on the surface, we would be fighting three against fourteen, naturally the difference is vastly apparent! Thus, if we do not execute a defensive position, the Qin Clan would only have the possibility to be annihilated!”

At this moment, Qin Xiaotian did not say this to be taboo, but he wanted them to remember the current situation at the Qin Clan.

“You need to desire the benefit of the clan, to not advance prematurely or to let emotions influence your actions. Individual life and death are insignificant, but the survival of the sect is significant. Everyone, if you perish, you would not want to shoulder the identity as a shameless clan member when you see the ancestors of the Qin Clan, right?”

Everyone had an incredibly grave expression and the situation was somewhat unbearable.

“Of course, if we are to look from the surface, the Qin could be said of having no chance of winning. However, nothing in the world is absolute. Since the Qin Clan was able to occupy the Heavenly Emperor Mountain for tens and thousands of years, of course we have our own trump cards!”

“What are these so-called trump cards of the Qin Clan?” Qin Xiaotian still revealed a confident smile. “The trump cards of the Qin Clan are the foundation we have at the Aspiring Throne Mountain!”

“Since the ancient immemorial period, the Aspiring Throne Mountain has been territory belonging to the Qin Clan. Generations of ancestors have spent immeasurable efforts to operate the foundation of the Aspiring Throne Mountain. This is the reason the Qin Clan has been able to live at the Heavenly Emperor Mountain for such a long period of time.”

Qin Xiaotian let out a leisurely smile. “Everyone, for this battle, it will be incredibly tough. The Qin must also abandon a large number of strongholds. We must defend the Upright Morality Hall as the core stronghold. Everyone look at the map, these three strongholds are the places we need to defend with our lives. All other territories will be abandoned.”

Abandon all else?

Following the direction of the Head Chief’s finger, everyone saw that the area in the defense zone had only be extended a few hundred miles outside the Upright Morality Hall.

All the other strongholds, including the Ascending Dragon Slope had been abandoned.

“Do not doubt me, this is the area we need to defend. It would not matter if they are to occupy the other places. The main area they are going to attack will be the area I have drawn. Everyone, perhaps you feel doubt, feel unfairness, or you may even disagree. However, when the army is pressing against our borders, regardless of the forces, we will only have the chance to turn defeat into victory by defending this area! If we hold any other thoughts, the Qin will certainly face destruction!”

Qin Xiaotian’s voice was stern. He fixed his gaze at everyone and gave a slight sigh. “Voice your questions now if you have any. As soon as the great war begins, the only thing you need to do is to execute this order!”

Honored Warrior Zhi Song was the first to speak, “Head Chief, for this area, there is no depth to defend. In the case where the enemy launches their full forces and if it’s breached, they would be coming to the Upright Morality Hall. This… Isn’t it too big of a risk?”

Even for someone as straightforward as Zhi Song who felt this was too big of a risk, one could only imagine what other people thought.

Honored Warrior Zhi Bo also said, “That’s right, the enemies would have the chance to face the Upright Morality Hall directly, it’s too much of a risk for this battle.”

Yet Qin Chongyang said, “Honored Warriors, as you say this, then how should we set up the defenses?”

“This… Every inch of the Aspiring Throne Mountain is the foundation of the Qin Clan. How could we allow those little people to trample on it as they wish?” Zhi Song gave a long sigh.

Qin Wushuang smiled bitterly. This Honored Warrior Zhi Song did possess strong power. However, one could not speak highly of his combat attainment. He still hadn’t got rid of the courage of an ignorant martial artist.

If each inch of the land surrounding the tens and thousands of miles of the Aspiring Throne Mountain were to be defended, there would not be any manpower to do it. The strength of the defense would almost equal nothing.

With the manpower at the Qin Clan, if they were to fight for inches of land, there would be only one result in the end: they would get nibbled away by the great army and would not have any capital if they were intending to defend to their last man.

Qin Xiaotian revealed a smile and shot a glance at Qin Wushuang. “Wushuang, I see that you want to say something.”

Qin Wushuang nodded. “Chiefs, I think that at a battle of this level, fighting for each inch of the land is already completely unnecessary, to the extent that it’s not a numbers fight between ordinary martial artists. The core of this war is between the battle of Supreme Dao elite warriors!”

“Yes, go on.”

Upon receiving the approval from the three chiefs, Qin Wushuang continued to speak, “If we are to fight for every inch of land, we do not have the Supreme Dao warriors to do so. To the Qin, each elite warrior is crucial. For this war, the Qin cannot afford to waste any of them. The Xin Clan has groups of Supreme Dao elite warriors, not to mention countless people beneath the Supreme Dao Stage. They can afford to be wasteful. Even if they are to use the accumulating method, it would be enough to consume the Qin Clan’s forces. Therefore, the tactic of the Head Chief is very intelligent. We must shrink the battle zone and gather our main forces to congeal into a fist. This way, we would have the capital to form fatal attacks to the enemies.”

“Most importantly, since the Head Chief decided to choose this zone, he must have his plans. Head Chief must have unknown trump cards that he has not yet revealed to everyone.”

When Qin Wushuang said this, he smiled at the Head Chief. “Head Chief, I am all ears.”

Qin Xiaotian gave a laugh. “Great, Wushuang, no wonder you are the most remarkable existence among the young generation of the Qin Clan. You are well aware of my intentions, Qin Wushuang!”

“Everyone, now I, Qin Xiaotian am ruling the Qin Clan. Being the Head Chief, the foundation of the Qin bloodline ties to myself alone. The responsibility on my shoulders is greater than any of you. Do you feel that if I have any other choice, would I allow them to face the Upright Morality Hall directly?”

Through Qin Wushuang’s analysis, everyone also felt that with the manpower of the Qin Clan, indeed it was not enough to consume it with the other party. Strictly defending would be the golden rule.

“Everyone, as the inheritance of the Qin Clan gets passed to today, after all these years, of course we have some hidden strategies. The area I have drawn is the core area of the Qin territory. This area is the defense core area for the Qin to defend our mountain. The major Eight Desolate Six Directions Mountain Protecting Formation has absorbed countless souls of Supreme Dao warriors. Even for those at the Genuine Supreme Dao Stage, it would be tough for them to break its powerful defenses!”

When Qin Xiaotian said this, he swept across the entire scene. “Everyone, for this battle, we only have one rule, and that is to delay!”

“You heard it right, this is the word, delay! The longer we delay, the more successful we will be! The Qin Clan needs time…”

Qin Xiaotian swept across Zhi Huai and the others profoundly, including Honored Warrior Zhi Song, Zhi Bo, and Zhi Tong who had acquired the Supreme Dao Fruit.

He also looked passed Qin Wushuang and Qin Taichong for these two were the Exquisite Mysterious Boundary elite warriors that were most qualified to make a dash for the Supreme Dao Stage.

Qin Chongyang encouraged them, “Everyone, Head Chief, this is to make time for everyone. The day when you all break into the Supreme Dao Stage is the day when the Qin Clan has paid off with our defense.”

“Sixteen years!” Qin Xiaotian said indifferently. “After sixteen years, it will be the Heavenly Emperor election. Per the rules, regardless of grudges, before the arrival of the election, everyone must stop all expeditions. The Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates must stop quarreling and begin the election process. By that time, it will be a turning point for the Qin Clan!”

‘It would also be the only chance for us to defeat the Xin. Once we re-seize the Heavenly Emperor seat at the election, the Qin will control everything at the Heavenly Emperor Mountain!”

Qin Xiaotian stood up with roaring laughter. “Sixteen years, everyone, win or lose, it all ends here. Whether we can make it past these sixteen years and within these sixteen years, whether you can upgrade to the Supreme Dao Stage or not, it will decide the fate of the Qin Clan!”

The four Honored Warriors revealed a grave expression. A powerful sense of calling had ignited the blood in their entire bodies.

Sixteen years!

“Alright, everyone, for that mountain protecting formation, I will not activate it unless the most extreme circumstances arise. We will first defend normally. If the situation gets worse, I will activate the formation instantly. Xin Tianwen, ha ha, let me see how much longer you can be arrogant!”

Suddenly, the complexion of Qin Xiaotian had sunk as he chanted, “Everyone, the enemy has already arrived within one thousand miles. Be prepared to meet your challengers! Non Supreme Dao elite warriors are forbidden from going to battle without order!”

“Yes!”

Everyone stood up and looked at each other with determination. All started to rush out of the Upright Morality Hall.

For the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates, besides the Qin Clan that was getting attacked and the Yun clan that was staying out of it, the elite warriors of the other six sects had gathered and killed to arrive at the Aspiring Throne Mountain.

Each sect had at least a hundred people. The Heavenly Emperor Gate Xin Clan had five hundred people. Of course, this was only to build up the momentum.

The true core battle force were the Supreme Dao elite warriors.

Exhibiting a gloomy expression, Xin Tianwen flew high and lofty in the middle of the air as he seized a commanding point of view. He had completely ignored the flying barriers of the Qin Clan and urged his power as the Heavenly Emperor without concealing it. Like thunder and rolling waves, his voice rolled continuously, “Qin Xiaotian, bring your disciples, grand disciples to come out and surrender, perhaps you can avoid the calamity of your destruction! If you fight stubbornly with your back to the wall, once we breach through, not a single one will be left alive!”
