Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me-Chapter 1611: One thousand fifty-six Lu Ya

Now, the Qilin Clan is merely making preparations before taking action and has not truly left, so the second elder of the Qilin Clan is not flustered even though they know these Great Divine Transcendents have come to question them.

After all, without any evidence, they just need to vehemently deny it. As long as the Qilin Clan hasn’t really left Mount Kunlun, there’s nothing for them to be accused of.

However, it’s undeniable that the arrival of these Great Divine Transcendents has more or less affected the plans of the Qilin Clan. Whether they can continue or not now hinges on Jiang Chen’s performance to come.

If Jiang Chen decides to back them up, then the Qilin Clan’s plan to leave Mount Kunlun can proceed.

On the other hand, if Jiang Chen doesn’t show up, then the Qilin Clan would just have to act as if the previous agreement had never existed and continue to maintain the status quo.

It could be said, the Qilin Clan’s next choice all depends on the thoughts of Jiang Chen.

...

Just as the second elder of the Qilin Clan was thinking about Jiang Chen, they heard Jiang Chen’s voice drifting over from afar.

"What a lively gathering here. What are you all discussing? Can you share it with me?"

The moment the voice finished, everyone looked up and saw a seven-colored rainbow bridge stretching over from the horizon. Jiang Chen casually walked down from it, coming before everyone, and greeted them with a smile.

Discussing what? Aren’t the troubles all caused by you? How could you not know?

Seeing Jiang Chen pretending to be ignorant, everyone felt displeased internally, but still they respectfully greeted, "We have seen the Star Lord!"

The status of the Star Lord is revered. They can feel dissatisfied, they can despise, but they cannot be rude, nor can they speak disrespectfully or humiliate. To do so would be showing disrespect towards the Heaven and Earth, and at the minimum, they would be marked by the Heavenly Dao.

"My fellow Dao friends are too courteous." Jiang Chen first returned the greeting to everyone, and then he specifically greeted the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, it’s been such a long time since I’ve seen you."

"It’s not been that long, at most it’s been just three hundred years since the last meeting. Speaking of which, one can’t help but marvel at the Star Lord’s talent; just in such a short span of time, you have cultivated to this extent, truly making us feel ashamed," the Queen Mother replied upon seeing Jiang Chen, her demeanor much eased, even complimenting Jiang Chen with a smile on her face.

In the past, Jiang Chen worked to mend his own Original Source and broke Donghuang Taiyi’s seal in Tang Valley, releasing the True Spirit of Dong Wang Gong that had been sealed inside.

And Dong Wang Gong is the Dao Companion of the Queen Mother. Jiang Chen’s act of releasing the sealed Dong Wang Gong indeed conferred a favor upon the Queen Mother.

To express her gratitude to Jiang Chen, the Queen Mother gave him the Dragon-head Staff, which was the token given by the Taoist Ancestors to Dong Wang Gong for ruling over the male immortals of the Prehistoric World, now known as the Pure Yang Emperor Sword.

The two became acquainted at that time, and due to this connection, their relationship could be considered close. Moreover, Jiang Chen and the Queen Mother shared a common enemy, Donghuang Taiyi.

In the Prehistoric World, favors are held in high regard. Jiang Chen was a benefactor to Dong Wang Gong, and even though the Queen Mother had already given the top-tier Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Pure Yang Emperor Sword to Jiang Chen to reciprocate that favor, in the eyes of many Great Divine Transcendents, Jiang Chen was still regarded as the benefactor of Dong Wang Gong. So if the Queen Mother were to make a move against Jiang Chen, then the powerful beings Between Heaven and Earth would feel disdain towards her, even if they don’t voice it.

The Heavenly Emperor Fuxi had traversed Heaven and Earth for countless years, killing many strong beings, but had never acted against the Demon Clan, precisely because of this reason.

Di Jun Taiyi may have betrayed the Heavenly Emperor, but the Demon Clan never did. Thus, how could the Heavenly Emperor act against the Demon Clan?

To repay favors is the moral standard of the Prehistoric World as well as the code of conduct for all Great Divine Transcendents. Anyone who breaches this principle would surely become an object of scorn. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

The Queen Mother is also a famous entity in the Prehistoric World and naturally does not wish to gain a reputation for being ungrateful. Therefore, she is very courteous toward Jiang Chen.

"We have come here because we heard that the Qilin Clan intends to migrate, so we specifically came to inquire. What has brought the Star Lord here?"

There was nothing secretive about it, so the Queen Mother did not hide their purpose and stated it directly.

After the Queen Mother spoke, the group of Great Divine Transcendents behind her, although silent, all fixed their gaze on Jiang Chen, attempting to exert pressure and persuade him to back down, not to meddle in the internal affairs of Mount Kunlun.

The purpose of Jiang Chen’s visit could be guessed by everyone; it was nothing but to show support for the Qilin Clan. Yet even so, the people present were fearless.

Let alone Jiang Chen showing up, even if an Upper Qing Saint were to come, as long as he dares to split apart Mount Kunlun, they would not be courteous to him. With personal interests at stake, how could they know the outcome without a fight?

"What a coincidence, I come for this matter too."

Facing everyone’s gaze, Jiang Chen was not intimidated and spoke the words everyone least wanted to hear.

"The Qilin Clan’s migration from Mount Kunlun is all my idea and has nothing to do with the Qilin Clan. If my fellow Dao friends have any objections, feel free to come to me."

Since things had come to this point, Jiang Chen ceased to conceal the truth and directly took all the responsibility upon himself. In fact, indeed this matter had arisen because of him.

"Since the Star Lord has already made it clear, we’ll also stop beating around the bush. The Qilin Clan is free to leave Mount Kunlun, and we will not stop them. But if they wish to take the southern part of Mount Kunlun with them, that is absolutely unacceptable. There’s no room for negotiation on this matter," the group of Great Divine Transcendents said straightforwardly, having revealed their conditions.
