Chapter 390

Shen Qinghuang flew into a rage!

Translation: Shen Qinghuang flew into a rage!

But we need to keep exact meaning: "Shen Qinghuang was furious!" Could be "Shen Qinghuang exploded in anger!" We'll choose: Shen Qinghuang was furious!

However, "Yes."

Translation: However, "Yes."

However, "Yes."

Shen Qingli actually agreed?

Translation: Shen Qingli actually agreed?

Of course it's not that simple!

Translation: Of course it wasn't that simple!

She then said, "If it's proven I killed them, I will commit suicide. But if it's proven I didn't, you will commit suicide. We'll swear an oath on our entire clan."

Translation: She then continued, "If it's proven I killed them, I will commit suicide. But if it's proven I didn't, you will commit suicide. We'll swear an oath on our entire clan."

She then said, "If it's proven I killed them, I will commit suicide. But if it's proven I didn't, you will commit suicide. We'll swear an oath on our entire clan."

As the chief of the Yin clan, Yin Zhi Tianjun can fully represent the Yin clan; thus the poison oath he issues on behalf of the clan will naturally come to pass.

Translation: As the chief of the Yin Clan, Yin Zhi Tianjun can fully represent the Yin Clan, so the poison oath he issues in place of the clan will naturally take effect.

"Heh." Yin Zhi Tianjun sneered, "What makes you think you're qualified to negotiate with me? Just because you've reached the Profound Clarity Realm, or is it just you and your brother in your clan?"

Translation: "Heh." Yin Zhi Tianjun sneered, "What makes you think you're qualified to negotiate with me? Just because you've reached the Profound Clarity Realm, or is it just you and your brother in your clan?"

Heh." Yin Zhi Tianjun sneered, "What makes you think you're qualified to negotiate with me? Just because you've reached the Profound Clarity Realm, or is it just you and your brother in your clan?"

"Just the two of you?" Shen Qinghuang scoffed, "You won't naively think that all we gained from leaving our ancestral tomb is what you see, right?"

Translation: "Two?" Shen Qinghuang scoffed, "You wouldn't naively think that all we gained from leaving our family tomb is what you see, would you?"

As soon as those words were spoken…

Translation: Upon saying that…

Yin Zhi, Xiahou, and Hetian!

Translation: Yin Zhi, Xiahou, Hetian!

We need to decide if we translate clan names. I'll keep as Yin Zhi, Xiahou, Hetian (romanized). Could also add "Clan" but not in original. The original just lists names. So we keep as is.

Even Ji Yun and Shi Yuan were unsettled.

Translation: Even Ji Yun and Shi Yuan were unsettled.

"What do you mean, kid?" Yin Zhi Tianjun asked in a deep voice.

Translation: "What do you mean, kid?" Yin Zhi Tianjun asked in a low voice.

Shen Qinghuang crossed his arms indifferently, full of confidence, "You don't need to know; just understand that you have no right to order around us siblings."

Translation: Shen Qinghuang crossed his arms indifferently, full of confidence, "You don't need to know; just understand that you have no right to order us siblings around."

"Even if you gained something, my Heavenly God Clan can still punish and judge you based on our strength and status! Don't act shameless." Hetian Battle Mother sneered, appearing doubtful but actually probing.

Translation: "Even if you've gained something, my Heavenly God Clan can still punish and judge you based on strength and status! Don't act shameless." Hetian Battle Mother sneered, appearing doubtful but actually probing.

Heavenly God Clan, Hetian Battle Mother, Don't act shameless

These words…

Translation: Those words…

"Smack!"

Translation: "Smack!"

Hetian Battle Mother's face was suddenly slapped!

Translation: Hetian Battle Mother's face was suddenly slapped!

She herself hadn't even reacted!

Her face got slapped!

Translation: Her face got smacked!

The scene instantly fell silent.

Translation: The scene instantly fell silent.

Even Ji Yun Battle Mother's expression changed.

Translation: Even Ji Yun Battle Mother's expression changed.

After a long while—

Translation: After a long while—

She stared intently at the tiny bird on Shen Qingli's shoulder.

Translation: She stared fixedly at the tiny bird on Shen Qingli's shoulder.

If she wasn't mistaken, just now that tiny bird made the move!

Translation: If she wasn't mistaken, that tiny bird had just struck!

This speed…

Translation: That speed…

Even she could probably only barely dodge it!

Translation: Even she could probably only barely dodge it!

Moreover, Hetian Battle Mother was already weaker than Ji Yun Battle Mother and had lost eighty percent of her soul power, so she absolutely couldn't dodge!

Translation: And Hetian Battle Mother was already weaker than Ji Yun Battle Mother, having lost eighty percent of her soul power, so she absolutely couldn't dodge!

It was also this slap…

Translation: It was also this slap…

Shen Qingli's words made everyone present from the Heavenly God Clan listen carefully!

Translation: Shen Qingli's words meant everyone present from the Heavenly God Clan had to listen carefully!

"Now, do you still have the nerve to say you act based on strength and status?"

Translation: "Now, do you still have the nerve to say you act based on strength and status?"

Shen Qingli's question, delivered word by word, carried a shock that even moved Ji Yun Battle Mother.

Translation: Shen Qingli's measured, word-by-word question carried a shock that even moved Ji Yun Battle Mother.

Shen Qingli's question, delivered word by word, carried a shock that even moved Ji Yun Battle Mother.

"Your spiritual power has reached the Earth Clarity Realm!" Ji Yun Battle Mother couldn't believe it!

Translation: "Your mental power has reached the Earth Clarity Realm!" Ji Yun Battle Mother couldn't believe it!

After leaving the tomb, Shen Qingli could advance to the Profound Clarity Realm, which they estimated as their maximum gain; in their view, that already counted as extraordinary talent—an achievement only such talent could achieve.

Earth Clarity Realm.

Translation: Earth Clarity Realm.

Especially the Divine Soul Earth Clarity Realm…

Translation: Especially the Divine Soul Earth Clarity Realm…

This was something none of the Heavenly God Clan had anticipated!

Translation: This was something none of the Heavenly God Clan had anticipated!

However, Hetian Battle Mother's focus wasn't here; she wasn't as strong as Ji Yun Battle Mother and still didn't know who hit her.

Translation: However, Hetian Battle Mother's focus wasn't here; she was inferior to Ji Yun Battle Mother and still didn't know who had struck her.

"Who!"

Translation: "Who!"

She shouted angrily, unable to bear it! She only wanted to kill Shen Qingli.

Translation: She, shouting angrily, couldn't bear it; she only wanted to kill Shen Qingli.

Even though she didn't see clearly and didn't know what was happening, she understood it definitely had to do with Shen Qingli.

Translation: Although she hadn't seen clearly and didn't know what was happening, she understood it definitely involved Shen Qingli.

"That bird…" Yin Zhi Tianjun spoke slowly, the authority of the Yin clan lying in commanding spirits and beasts, so even though his cultivation isn't as high as Ji Yun Battle Mother's, he could see that Yu Jia was extraordinary.

Translation: "That bird..." Yin Zhi Tianjun said slowly, "The authority of the Yin Clan lies in commanding spirits and beasts, so even though his cultivation is inferior to Ji Yun Battle Mother's, he could still see that Yu Jia was extraordinary."

Yu Jia extraordinary

Shi Yuan originally wasn't very sure, but after hearing him say that and recalling Shi Lingling's quiet report earlier, the balance in his heart shifted somewhat back.

Translation: Shi Yuan had originally been unsure, but hearing him say that and recalling Shi Lingling's earlier quiet report, the balance in his mind shifted somewhat back.

Shi Lingling

Hetian Battle Mother also stared fixedly at Yu Jia! She truly couldn't see anything extraordinary about this little chick.

Translation: Hetian Battle Mother also stared fixedly at Yu Jia! She truly couldn't see anything extraordinary about this little chick.

After all, Yu Jia is really, truly tiny; even if it had actually grown a bit, it's only palm-sized.

Translation: After all, Yu Jia was really too small; even if it had actually grown a bit, it was only palm-sized.

Fluffy, indistinguishable from a chicken…

Translation: Fluffy, no different from a chicken…

Just this tiny thing actually slapped her just now!

Translation: Just this tiny thing had actually slapped her just now!

"What look, still wanting to eat my backhand slap?"

Translation: "What look, still wanting another backhand slap from me?"

Yu Jia showed no fear, even contempt, toward Hetian Battle Mother's malicious gaze.

Translation: Yu Jia showed no fear, even contempt, toward Hetian Battle Mother's vicious gaze.

"The Ancestor of Ten Thousand Feathers." Yin Zhi Tianjun recognized that what looked like a chick was actually the mighty Yu Jia.

Translation: "Ancestor of Ten Thousand Feathers." Yin Zhi Tianjun recognized that what looked like a chick was actually a big shot—Yu Jia.

His face darkened, for although the Yin clan can command myriad spirits, if Yu Jia grows to adulthood—

Translation: His face darkened, because although the Yin Clan can command myriad spirits, if Yu Jia grew to adulthood—

even if the Yin clan's strongest beast master steps forward to control it, they cannot withstand Yu Jia's bloodline suppression over all feathered beings.

Translation: Even if the Yin Clan's strongest beast master came forth to control it, they couldn't resist Yu Jia's bloodline suppression over all feathered creatures.

Shen Qingli doesn't even need the Yin clan's beast mastery secrets; with Yu Jia alone he could crush the Yin clan's beast masters. Although Yu Jia only has absolute dominance over feathered beings, that's already enough to make Yin Zhi Tianjun wary.

Translation: Shen Qingli doesn't even need the Yin Clan's beast mastery; with Yu Jia alone he could thrash their beast masters. Although Yu Jia only absolutely suppresses feathered beings, that's enough to make Yin Zhi Tianjun wary.

Moreover, Shen Qingli's primordial spirit realm also hides a Mao Calf, which is the Ancestor of Myriad Fur.

Translation: Moreover, Shen Qingli's Primordial Spirit Realm hides a Maodu, which is the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Furs.

Just these two already command over half of the myriad beasts.

Translation: These two already command over half of the myriad beasts.

Yin Zhi Tianjun's eyes turned red…

Translation: Yin Zhi Tianjun, eyes reddened…

Even though he's used to seeing good things.

Translation: Even though he's used to good things.

After all, among the five Heavenly God Clans, the Yin clan is the wealthiest and most resource-rich.

Translation: After all, among the Five Great Heavenly God Clans, the Yin Clan is the wealthiest and most resource-rich.

Yet he still couldn't suppress his envy.

Translation: Yet he still couldn't help but feel envious.

"Shen Qingli, you don't have to commit suicide, but I want him to become my clan's contracted spirit beast, guarding my clan forever." Yin Zhi Tianjun and Yin Chao Sheng, true father and son, are equally greedy.

Translation: "Shen Qingli, you don't have to commit suicide, but I want it to become my clan's contracted beast, guarding us forever." Yin Zhi Tianjun and Yin Chaosheng, father and son, are equally greedy.

"This also counts as your bargaining chip for your life." Yin Zhi Tianjun felt that this was already quite a good deal!

Feather Auspicious is nice, but after all it's still small; Shen Qingli simply cannot raise such a terrifying existence—its growth inevitably requires an existence like his Yin clan to be able to sustain it.

Thinking of this, he also said to Feather Auspicious, "You should also understand that following her, you likely won't live to see adulthood. But if you follow my clan, adulthood is imminent."

Don't even say that!

Feather Auspicious felt a bit tempted.

You can go eat it, then come back to find A Li.

But Shen Qingli didn't agree, saying, "You can treat your son as a bargaining chip, but I will not treat my elders as tradable objects."

However, I allow you to use your clan's supreme treasure capable of raising Feather Auspicious to exchange for your dog's life. After all, your life is indeed useless to me for letting Feather Auspicious grow up.

This remark again provoked a silence...

Shen Qingli is really good at humiliating people; Yin Zhi Tianjun's face has already turned black with anger.

But Shen Qingli was just speaking the truth; she also looked at Xiahou Tianjun, and they both opened fire!

"Xiahou clan chief also wants me to pay with my life, right? Same kind of bet? But your clan no longer has what I want."

This remark clearly shows even more contempt for the Xia clan! It also made this Xiahou Tianjun's temples throb with anger.

"Arrogant and ignorant! Do you think you can really make a deal? If our three clans truly go all out, you siblings will die instantly!"

Upon saying that...

Shen Qinghuang stopped pretending.

"Come out."

He issued a single command!

He unleashed thousands of beasts and tens of thousands of horses!

It truly was a horde of tens of thousands of primordial beasts.

The Nine Li were all stunned, "Brother! Elder brother! Where did you get these lackeys?"

Of course it's from entering the Pangu's pupil; although Shen Qinghuang didn't obtain the Pangu's pupil, over these hundreds of millions of years, any beast that entered the Pangu's pupil became his lackeys.

And the wild beasts are famed for their mighty physiques!

Each one is an ironclad blockhead capable of killing a Profound Clarity Realm expert.

"Repeat what you just said?" Shen Qinghuang pointed his chin at Xiahou Tianjun.

At this moment, even Xiahou Tianjun cannot repeat what he just said, especially the words "instant death," which he absolutely cannot utter.

"Shen sister, we can exchange a person with the Xia clan; his name is Xia Kun." Ji Zhongwen suddenly spoke up!

Upon hearing this, Xiahou Tianjun's face turned black as the bottom of a pot! It's clear that if Xia Kun were to be taken away, he would feel great pain.

But what he finds even harder to accept is——

"Sure, I don't need an old man's life anyway." Shen Qingli immediately agreed.

"You really trust Ji Zhongwen that much?" the Heavenly Battle Mother suddenly asked.

"Of course." Shen Qingli raised her eyebrows, "Otherwise you wouldn't believe me? And what do you have to ransom your life?"

"The Battle Mother never said she wanted to bet her life with you!" the Heavenly Battle Mother didn't want to get involved; she just wanted to push Yin Zhi and Xiahou forward.

However, Shen Qingli wouldn't let her off: "That won't do, you must bet, otherwise the Yin clan chief and Xiahou clan chief might not agree. How about...?

You've slandered me, used them as knives, and still want to walk away unscathed? You know it wasn't me who killed them, you just want to see them suffer, right?

"Nonsense!" the Heavenly Battle Mother shouted angrily.

Shen Qingli snorted; she now understands the Heavenly Battle Mother better than anyone—how could she not know her little thoughts?

"Shouting loudly is useless; let's bet, cut the nonsense." Shen Qingli crossed her arms indifferently, "Now it's not that you can avoid betting just by saying you don't want to! Slander me, and without paying something, don't even think of leaving!"
