The Tuoba Clan suffers devastating losses, with millions of disciples and many powerful figures, including two of Tuoba Qianwei's brothers, killed. The powerful Shenglei Hong, master to Tuoba Qianwei and a top-tier cultivator, is summoned to address the crisis. After learning the clan was attacked not by rival factions but by an unknown force linked to Qin Feng and the Thirteen Demons, Shenglei Hong agrees to Qianwei's risky plan: feigning peace talks to ambush Qin Feng.

At this moment, a bodyguard’s voice came from outside,

"Great Grandmaster, Young Master Qing Heng has returned."

"Qin Heng’s child is not dead!"

"Bring him over."

Many people in the hall were very happy. After all, there was the most senior leader supporting Tuoba Qingheng to become the next family head. Seven or eight adults in the hall were very close to Tuoba Qingkeng. If Tuoba Qingkeng died, they might have made a mistake.

Kneeling in the central hall were Tuoba Long and Shen Danqing’s seniors, who all looked somewhat ugly, especially Tuoba Long.

Soon after, a somewhat embarrassed Tuoba Qingheng entered the hall, and then he knelt down.

"Grandfather..."

"Longer and Shen, didn’t you say the entire army was wiped out and everyone died?" Tuoba Qianwei looked at Tuoba Long and Shen Dandan.

Both lowered their heads, unable to speak.

"Hmph!" Tuoba Qianwei snorted coldly, then looked at Tuoba Qing, "Qing Heng, how did you escape?"

Tuoba Qingheng’s expression was vague: "Grandfather, I was released by Qin Feng. But Third Granduncle and Fifth Granduncle were killed by Qin Feng."

"Hmm?" Tuoba Qianwei was slightly surprised and said, "Why did Qin Feng let you go? Did you promise him something you shouldn’t have?"

Tuoba Qinghong shook his head. "He asked for nothing. Because his grandson protected his woman for a year, he still loves his grandson."

At this, Tuoba Qingheng’s eyes dimmed further, losing competitiveness.

"Ah," Tuoba sighed softly. He had already guessed the truth from Tuoba’s face. He also knew Tuoba Qingheng was not lying. Tuoba Qianwei added, "Qin Feng, you do have connections with him."

Tuoba Qingheng shook his head again and said, "I’m a friend of his woman. I have no connections with him."

"It’s all the same." Tuoba Qianwei smiled and said, "Then this time with the negotiation, you and I can go together to make him lower his guard." I’ll take the opportunity to kill him."

Tuoba Qinghong, hearing this, suddenly lifted his head and said, "Grandfather, you already know the power of Qin Feng and the Star Heaven Sect. Do you plan to attack Qin Feng?"

"He possesses the land and the map of the nation, and he has significant discord with the Tuoba Family. Without feelings and reason, I cannot let him go." Tuoba Qianwei considered this reasonable.

Tuoba Qingheng said, "Grandfather, there is something my grandson is uncertain whether to say or not."

"Speak," Tuoba Qianwei said.

Tuoba Qingheng said gloomily: "At that time, Tantai Sheng also approached Qin Feng through his daughter and then suddenly attempted an assassination. But he failed. I believe Grandfather knows what happened next."

Tuoba Qianwei and someone in the hall suddenly squinted their eyes, a chill running down their backs. They, of course, had a clear understanding of the destructive process of the ancients here. Tan Tai’s victory could not kill Qin Feng. Qin Feng first sent Dan Taixue back with the national map, and then a group of terrifying Beasts broke into the Imperial City of Dan Tai. A vast, ancient clan stood for tens of thousands of years and thus unveiled its demise.

Tuoba Qingheng said: "Dan Tai Sheng’s Holy Land is on the seventh level, just one level lower than Grandfather. However, Qin Feng is more powerful than Tan Tai Sheng, and Qin Jun attacked and killed him. Moreover, when Tan Tai Sheng attacked to kill Qin Feng, Qin Feng had no one to protect him. But if Grandfather goes to negotiate with him, there will surely be experts around him. If Grandfather’s attack fails, then..."

Hearing this, everyone present was silent. Even Shenglei Hongsheng remained silent. In comparison, the chances of success were not too great.

"Hmm, only in extremely dangerous situations can we gain great rewards. This is the best opportunity to kill Qin Feng during negotiations. With Grandfather’s Divine Power, attacking and killing Qin Feng is bound to succeed. Qingheng’s brother is too long, and no one dares to underestimate him. Tuoba Long’s strange voice. This is his habit. As long as Tuoba Qingheng says something, he must sing the opposite. And Tuoba Long can see that at this moment, his Grandfather Tuoba Qianwei really wants to attack and kill Qin Feng.

Lei Hong paid no attention to Tuoba Long but looked at Tuoba Qingheng, squinting. "Then tell me, if we really negotiate with Qin Feng, what will happen?"

Tuoba Qingheng was silent for a moment, then sighed and said: "Although I hate him, I have to admit he is a very caring and righteous person. If we really coexisted peacefully with him, perhaps in the future, our two families could truly live in peace. But if we fight to the end, even if we win, we must suffer a tragic loss. At that time, the Huangfu Army, Zhuang Sunx Army, Duanmu Army, which sit on the mountain watching the tigers fight, will surely join in. How much strength can I take out from the Tuoba Clan to resist?"

"Qing Heng is correct. The forces of Brother, Zhuansun, and others have always focused on the national map. Let alone whether we can defeat the Star Heaven Sect. Even if we win, the three forces cannot wait for us to take the map."

These three forces are more insidious than the other. Now we ally with them, but they all disagree. But after that, they might come uninvited. We will be fighting Xing Tian Sect. They’ll be the happiest."

"When the snipe and the clam grapple, the fisherman gets the benefit. At that time, the three forces will be the fishermen. We and the Star Heaven Sect will be the clams and mussels."

The senior supporters of Tuoba Qingheng spoke one after another. Their relationship was very clear.

"Nonsense." Tuoba Long suddenly said in a low voice: "We have no common hatred with that Xing Tian Sect name. It’s impossible to coexist peacefully. Grandfather, Qin Feng holds a map of the nation and mountains. His Star Heaven Sect force will continue to rise.

"Before they grow wings, they must be uprooted as soon as possible."

Some who supported Tuoba Long also said this, but the supporters of Tuoba Qingheng were noticeably fewer than the supporters of Tuoba Qingheng.

"Quiet." Tuoba Qianwei suddenly said lowly.

Suddenly, no one dared to make a sound.

Tuoba was pondering. No one dared to disturb him.

"Endure, endure!" Tuoba Qianwei continued reading this word.

Upon hearing this word, Tuoba felt very difficult. How to make a decision this time not only concerns the Tuoba Clan and the Xing Tian Sect but also concerns Tuoba Qingkeng. If the patriarch’s grandfather fully supports Tuoba Qingheng’s opinion, then he will fight for the patriarch’s position in the future.

"The reason our Tuoba Clan has reached today is not only because of its power but also because we can endure what ordinary people cannot endure." Instantly, the voice of Tuoba Qianwei resounded in the hall: "We need to be prepared. First, we must immediately send someone to negotiate with the Star Heaven Sect, placing the Star Heaven Sect on the same height as me. There is no need to put on airs. Our Tuoba Family’s position is so low, and it wouldn’t be much different from Qin Feng. Furthermore, it is strictly forbidden for disciples to have any hostility towards the Star Heaven Sect, to abandon Yan Xiao’s territory, and that Wanfeng, Fenglan Lake bordering Yan Xiao’s territory, will all belong to the Star Heaven Sect. In treating the Star Heaven Sect, as with other giants, we should not interfere with each other."

Tuoba Qianwei said, the entire hall was shocked. Tuoba Qianwei continued: "Second, if the Star Heaven Sect lets down their guard against us, and Qin Feng emerges, we have the chance to kill it and seize the land and the national map. But we must remember, before killing him, we must not let him feel any oddities. Even if we have a 90% certainty, we cannot act. If we do not act, we must have enough certainty. We cannot let him live a thousand lifetimes. Therefore, the matter of killing Qin Feng should not be told to other disciples. We all know it."
