I Have A Trillion Protagonist Halos

Chapter 85: Vassal

"What are you doing, Big Brother? Get up!"

As Xia Qitian rose to his feet, he wore a mournful expression and said, "Ninth Brother, you must help me this time! I offended Su Zhan a few days ago, you should know about it, right?"

"I heard some rumors, but Big Brother, you've already returned, haven't you? Brother Su is magnanimous, and if there are any grievances, he would address them face to face. Since he let you leave, he probably didn't take it seriously," Xia Qihai said helplessly.

"Besides, you're the Crown Prince! If he were to deal with you, he would have to consider our father, wouldn't he?"

"If this were before, I would definitely agree with you, but now, after learning that Su Zhan single-handedly defeated the Clear Sun Sect, the Yue Family, the Yellow Wind Valley, and the Treasure Mountain Sect, the powerful forces of four kingdoms, each one equivalent to the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect's status in our Xia Kingdom, Ninth Brother, tell me, what does he have to worry about?" Fear crept onto Xia Qitian's face. "Our father? Father is no match for him! Unless I spend the rest of my life hiding in the palace hall, relying on the formidable formations of the palace for protection, maybe then I can preserve my life No, that's not right!"

"Su Zhan's growth rate is incredibly fast, it's almost heaven-defying! Who knows what level he will reach in three to five years? By then, perhaps a single sword strike could split our Xia Kingdom's palace in half!"

"Such a formidable individual, Ninth Brother, can you blame me for being afraid?"

"One person single-handedly defeated the top forces of four nations Is what you're saying true, Big Brother?" Xia Qihai couldn't believe it. "Brother Su is indeed extraordinary, but this is too"

"It's true! It's all true! I just received this news! The four major forces joined together to besiege the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect, and Su Zhan single-handedly defeated them. It's absolutely true!"

"Otherwise, why would I be in such a hurry? Ninth Brother, since you are acquainted with Su Zhan, you must help me speak a few words and convince him to accept my apology!"

"Well, alright"

"Let's set off tomorrow. I'll bring the True Martial Sword bestowed upon me by our father!"

Xia Qihai was shocked. "Big Brother, if you're going to apologize, why would you bring such a powerful weapon like the True Martial Sword? Moreover, considering your cultivation level, if you forcefully wield the True Martial Sword, it's"

"I want to give it to Su Zhan as a gesture of sincerity! Alright, Ninth Brother, I'll go prepare now. I'll come find you tomorrow!" After saying that, Crown Prince Xia Qitian hurriedly left.

"To present the True Martial Sword, second only to the Xia King Sword in our entire Xia Kingdom, and with the Cloud Heaven Sword already held by the Sect Master of the Sword Sect" Xia Qihai muttered to himself, lost in thought.

The Xia King Sword and the Cloud Heaven Sword were both swords of heritage, wielded only by the Xia King and the Sect Master of Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect. In a sense, the True Martial Sword was the most powerful weapon that Xia Kingdom could possess!

However, thinking about Su Zhan single-handedly defeating the four major forces, Xia Qihai suddenly let go of his concerns. To someone like Brother Su, a True Martial Sword meant nothing. Speaking of which, Brother Su's strength has improved so rapidly that he is now likely the strongest individual in Xia Kingdom

When I arrive at the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect, should I still address him as Brother Su as before, or should I call him Senior Su?

Sigh! This guy's progress is just too fast! It's giving me a headache!

Xia Qihai wore a frustrated expression as he sighed.

One day later, in the main hall of the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect's main peak.

Chen Changfeng rushed in hastily. "Sect Master! Cao Mu, the Punishment Elder of the Clear Sun Sect, has arrived!"

Upon hearing the words "Clear Sun Sect," several elders immediately became angry.

"The Clear Sun Sect? How dare they have the audacity to attack our Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect?"

"Damn it! Please order, Sect Master, let me go meet him!"

"You go? Forget it! I've been itching to vent my anger. Let me personally slaughter him!"

"Silence!"

Qin Jincheng cast a glance at the elders and scolded them, then turned to Chen Changfeng. "Is he here to negotiate?"

"Sect Master, you're right. He did come to seek reconciliation. Moreover, he brought the Clear Sun Sect's Positive Yang True Body Technique and twenty-five seedlings of the Clear Sun Sect's unique spirit herb, the Yang Leaf Grass. He hopes that we will no longer pursue the matter."

"Positive Yang True Body Technique and Yang Leaf Grass seedlings It seems they're truly afraid this time. Haha!" Qin Jincheng laughed. "Make him wait."

"Wait? Until when?"

"Wait until representatives from the other three major forces arrive, and then we can discuss this matter together!"

"Does Sect Master believe they will all come to seek reconciliation?"

"Of course!" Qin Jincheng spoke with a hint of arrogance and confidence. "After witnessing the true strength of Su Zhan, the prodigy of our Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect, how could they possibly muster the courage to continue opposing our Sword Sect?"

"That's true. I'll go and reply to him." Chen Changfeng smiled and left the main hall.

After half a day, representatives from the four major forces had all gathered. Under the orders of Sect Master Qin Jincheng, they were led to the main hall of the main peak.

The four peak Origin Elixir realm experts, and even the half-step Fish-Dragon level powerhouses, stood in the hall without seats. They were scrutinized by the Sword Sect elders, like prisoners waiting for judgment.

Sect Master Qin Jincheng sat in the main seat at the top, and without waiting for them to speak, he said directly, "Gentlemen, reconciliation is possible, but I have one requirement: from now on, your four major forces shall become vassals of our Sword Sect, and all matters shall be subject to the commands of our Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect!"

Once these words were spoken, the four top powerhouses' expressions changed drastically.

"Sect Master Qin, can we negotiate a different condition?"

"If we become vassals, how different is it from annihilation?"

"The Clear Sun Sect is willing to offer all the treasures of our sect, but becoming a vassal of the Sword Sect is something we cannot accept!"

"The Yue Family has a heritage of fifteen hundred years. Even the royal family cannot make the Yue Family become a vassal. Sect Master Qin, isn't your demand a bit too excessive?"

Qin Jincheng wasn't surprised by their reactions. He smiled and said, "There is still a difference. If you're annihilated, it means the end of your heritage and your lives will not be spared. Being a vassal only means submitting to our Sword Sect. You can continue cultivating within the influence of your own sects."

"Of course, I won't force it. If you're unwilling, you can directly refuse."

The four powerhouses had extremely ugly expressions. Clearly, they hadn't expected that the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect would not care about the treasures they offered, but instead wanted everything they had!

Becoming vassals meant that everything they possessed would be at the disposal and command of the Sword Sect. In this situation, the four major forces were practically rendered powerless.

Cao Mu from the Clear Sun Sect spoke in a deep voice, "Is this your idea, Sect Master Qin, or is it the idea of that Su Zhan? To be honest, I care more about the latter compared to you!"

Once this was said, the elders of the Heavenly Cloud Sword Sect were immediately infuriated.

"Insolent!"

"How dare you disrespect the Sect Master?"

Cao Mu said, "I am prepared to die on this journey! What is there to fear!"

Qin Jincheng cast an expressionless glance at Cao Mu and said coldly, "I have already discussed with Su Zhan on how to handle this situation. This is my decision, but at the same time, it is also his decision!"
