Chapter 855: Certain of Victory

Qin Yunran said straightforwardly, “Certainly whoever sits on the seat of the Heavenly Emperor will decide. It has always been decided this way in the past.”

On the surface, it had been decided this way in the past. In fact and in secret, they were still seeking a way to achieve a subtle harmonious situation.

If the Heavenly Emperor grasped the entire outlook of the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates, then the situation to restrain each other would not exist. There must be an equilibrium. This way, by forming an alliance with each other, it will stabilize the situation at the Heavenly Emperor Mountain even more. There will be less dominance and more balance.

Qin Chongyang shot a meaningful glance at Qin Yunran to motion him not to speak too soon.

Honestly, Qin Chongyang was extremely interested in Yun Xuechen’s suggestion. Amongst the chiefs of the Qin Clan, Qin Chongyang could be said as the most rational, the most pragmatic, and the one who would consider the entire situation.

Considering the overall situation, he felt that for this Heavenly Emperor competition, the Qin Clan would at most have thirty percent chance of winning. The Xin Clan will also have a thirty percent chance. The most hopeful one was the Yun Clan, who never got involved in the battle. The Yun Clan seized a forty percent hope of winning.

As for other powerhouses, surely they were the green leaves that set off the red flowers. The competition for the Heavenly Emperor seat will be determined from these three sects. The other sects would certainly not have any possibility, as they will not even sign up.

Anyone knew that the Heavenly Emperor Gate was the number one authoritative figure at the Heavenly Emperor Mountain. Only those three old powerhouses were qualified to compete. Historically, it was these three that took turns to sit on the seat.

Qin Chongyang felt that since the Qin Clan did not have absolute assurance to seize victory, they must consider the distribution problem. If the Qin Clan could grasp one allocated spot, in the future, they could at least have a resolute alliance member in the future outlook at the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates.

If they did not win the seat of the Heavenly Emperor, they will have one way out.

If the Qin Clan acquired the seat of the Heavenly Emperor, then one less spot would not influence the general situation greatly. With the Qin Clan’s thunderbolt-like method as they always sat on the Heavenly Emperor seat, it would not be a problem to intimidate other powerhouses.

Therefore after considering the gains and losses, Qin Chongyang felt that it would be better to distribute these two spots on fair grounds. The Qin must take one spot.

With Qin Wushuang’s personality, naturally he will be clean-cut and let the Heavenly Emperor Gate make the decision. Also, he had strong confidence that he would seize the Heavenly Emperor seat.

However, for the equilibrium between the Qin Clan and the Yun Clan, and per the current situation of the Qin Clan, they needed a cushion. They cannot be overly domineering.

If they were overly domineering to cause even the Yun Clan to be on guard with the Qin Clan, it would be unavoidable for the Qin Clan to be in the center of the whirlpool. They would be in an extreme passively situation.

Therefore, for this matter, it will depend on the standpoint of the Yun Clan. They could sell this favor for the Yun Clan and give them some benefits. By that time, when the Qin Clan seized the Heavenly Emperor seat, it would be better than anything if the Yun Clan is not in a bad mood or provoked by the Qin Clan.

Upon thinking here, Qin Wushuang said with a smile, “As you asked the question, I think your clan must have some initial ideas, why not tell us to discuss it. If it’s possible, we can discuss anything.”

When Qin Wushuang posed such a dignified attitude, there was no way for Yun Xuechen to not follow up. He laughed. “My clan does have some initial ideas. For the exchange of the spot at this Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates, with the current outlook, it will be difficult to say whether how many spots will occur. My Head Chief thought that if it’s an even number, we can share it equally. If it’s an odd number, we can also divide it by two, the Heavenly Emperor Gate will get one extra. What do you think, chiefs?”

This suggestion made for complete egalitarianism.

Qin Wushuang said with a laugh, “For the changes of the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates, at most, the situation of five spots appeared historically. Now this time, I think there will be many spots. Distributing them equally will give everyone delight and satisfaction. However, the Xuan Yuan Clan might not approve. After all, they hope to see the Heavenly Emperor Gate grasp more of the authority. Therefore, I feel that perhaps between our two clans, regardless of who sits on the throne, the one who loses will get one spot. The remaining spots belongs to the Heavenly Emperor Gate. This way, it will easily showcase the authority of the Heavenly Emperor and when the Xuan Yuan Clan sees this, they will have nothing to say.”

In the end, Qin Wushuang was unwilling to distribute them equally. If the Yun Clan got the seat of the Heavenly Emperor, it would be nice for the Qin Clan to get half of the spots.

The problem was, although Qin Wushuang appeared extremely low-profile for this Heavenly Emperor competition, there hid a powerful belief inside his heart. He was determined to not give anyone the seat of Heavenly Emperor.

Therefore, in the end he was unwilling to scatter the authority. One spot was a favor he would sell to the Yun Clan along the way, it was a form of strategy.

If he let go too much authority, it would achieve equilibrium, yet it will be dispersed. For the iron-blood ruling enhanced by the Qin Clan, in the end they emphasize on force. Clearly, it will not be easy to rule with their authority scattered too much.

When Yun Xuechen saw Qin Wushuang’s attitude, he did not object as he was well-aware of his words. He laughed. “Alright, I will bring what you intend to my Head Chief. Regardless, for this Heavenly Emperor competition, our two houses must crowd out the Xin Clan and push them out. Or else, if the Xin Clan steps onto the stage, the future Heavenly Emperor Mountain will fall into an eternal expedition.”

This was having sympathy with a like-minded person in distress.

With the Qin Clan falling into imminent danger, the Yun Clan had taken it all in and they had deeply anxious hearts. If the Xin Clan successfully annihilated the Qin Clan, they would certainly point their arrows to the Yun Clan.

Xin Tianwen’s ambition was to replace the Yun Clan and Qin Clan, and to become the second to none existence at the Heavenly Emperor Mountain. If the Qin and the Yun Clan were both annihilated, those foundations and inheritances were naturally not a problem. The Xin Clan would be the righteous number one sect.

After they sent away Yun Xuechen, Qin Chongyang said to Qin Wushuang with a solemn expression, “Head Chief, the suggestion from the Yun Clan is extremely alluring.”

Qin Yunran did not find it the same way. “Alluring... What? If the Heavenly Emperor Gate cannot demonstrate their prestige, would it still be called the Heavenly Emperor Mountain?”

Qin Chongyang was well aware of Second’s temper. He laughed and did not mind. Instead, he added a humorous remark, “Now, wasn’t Xin Tianwen’s authority also not showcased.”

“Therefore the Heavenly Emperor Mountain is in a mess.” Qin Yunran was quick at catching the remark.

“Not entirely, although the Heavenly Emperor Mountain is in a chaotic situation, as Xin Tianwen is able to gather other sects to send punitive expeditions against the Qin Clan, he relied on the advantages brought by the Heavenly Emperor seat.”

“Yes, we cannot scatter the power. When the Qin Clan seizes the Heavenly Emperor seat, naturally we do not want to have less trusted powerhouses across our eyes.”

When Qin Yunran said this point with a chuckle, he said to Qin Wushuang, “Head Chief, what do you think?”

Qin Wushuang said lightly, “I already expressed my opinion.”

“You mean that it’s necessary for the Heavenly Emperor to gather authority? Then why not support the Heavenly Emperor for ruling with all power?” Qin Chongyang was still somewhat confused.

“For this spot, it’s not to aim for our Qin Clan, but to give the Yun Clan a step down, a cushion for their reputation, and mental comfort.”

Qin Wushuang’s tone intimidated Qin Chongyang. Even Qin Yunran was also somewhat stunned. “From your tone, the Qin Clan is determined for the position.”

“If we don’t have the heart to get it, what can we bring out to compete for the Heavenly Emperor seat?” Qin Wushuang let out a carefree and bright smile. “Now, in the eyes of outsiders, we are the weak ones without a good future. If we don’t have the slightest morale, do not rely on ourselves to encourage, how can we improve our morale?”

Qin Chongyang opened his mouth and wanted to say something, yet Qin Yunran stopped him.

Qin Yunran said while glowing with health and vigor, “Head Chief is right. If we don’t even have the belief for a certain victory, how can we fight this battle? Third, you consider all aspects of a matter, this is a good trait. Yet since our current situation is still not bright, our Qin Clan is still that clan from the past. We will strive for a total fight. Even if the Qin Clan does not sit on the Heavenly Emperor seat, we can’t just hide under the bushel for another five hundred years. When the time comes, we will fight for it again. It will appear as if we do not have big breadth of mind for one or two so-called spots. By haggling over every cent and to ignore the overall strategic plan, it will not be beneficial.”

When Qin Yunran said these words, it caused Qin Wushuang to come to full realization of why Qin Yunran was the Second Chief and why Qin Chongyang was the Third Chief.

Judging from the strategic heights, indeed Qin Yunran was much more magnanimous than Qin Chongyang. Compared to Qin Yunran’s harsh way of thinking, Qin Chongyang had an extra meticulous aspect. Therefore, it was much more appropriate for him to rule over the miscellaneous matters of the clan.

Qin Chongyang pondered in silence and did not appear unhappy. Instead, he was pondering on things.

Qin Wushuang encouraged him, “Third Chief, the Second Chief is right. Since we are at a disadvantageous situation, we must have the courage to break the cauldron and to sink boats. We must not carry too much burden and not consider too much of the cause and effect. The winner will be the king, the loser will be the bandit. Even if we can strive for 2 spots now, if the Qin Clan does not get the Heavenly Emperor seat, what about those powerhouses we recommended? Those changes will still happen. In these years, strength and status are the principle rules.”

Since the Head Chief spoke, naturally Qin Chongyang would not have any objection. After careful thinking, he felt it made sense.

If they did not get the Heavenly Emperor seat, their so-called spots would be nothing. The ones you recommended and defended would be useless. With one order from the Heavenly Emperor Gate, the possibility to turn around to strike you will still be greater than the possibility to fight with them.

“Head Chief, if the Qin Clan acquires the Heavenly Emperor seat, what changes will happen to ruling of the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates?” Qin Chongyang probed to ask.

“The Xin Clan, Heavenly Punishing Villa, and Sound of Thunder Sect, these three sects will certainly disappear from the Heavenly Emperor Mountain. Especially the Xin Clan, we must be absolutely irreconcilable. If he stays, I will not stay. Only this way will cut off all potential trouble, to intimidate other sects. For those that fight the Qin Clan, even for someone as powerful as the Xin Clan, I will turn them into nothing. This case, it will take those sects more consideration whether they were thinking about going against the Qin Clan or not.”

The Xin Clan was the vile leader. The Sound of Thunder Sect and Heavenly Punishing Villa were accomplices. However, those two powerhouses always shared unfathomable resentment for the Qin Clan. Therefore, if the Qin Clan wins, they will not tolerate these two. One should not think of leaving to vipers in their own backyard who would threaten the Qin Clan at any moment.
