Commanding Wind and Cloud

“Sometimes, you don’t need to move yourself to kill people,” Qian Wushan lightly knocked one of the armrests of the ancient wooden chair, and a proud smile appeared on his face. He said to Rayen. “The Family Leader doesn’t like doing things personally in this aspect. If we have to do everything ourselves, what is the difference between us and retinues?”

“You have retinues in Hanley State?”

“Retinue?” As Qian Wushan fixed the fingernail on his right index finger with a nail clipper, he lightly blew on the fingernail and said, “Sometimes, you don’t even need to use your retinue to kill someone. In Hanley State, there is someone named Zene Skylar. You only need to find him and deliver this letter to him. By then, he will kill Qian Jin for me.”

“Zene Skylar?” Rayen thought to himself as he held the letter that Qian Wushan gave him, and excitement flashed in his eyes. “The No.1 Master of Hanley State, Zene Skylar, is going to move? If this happens, Qian Jin will be dead for sure!”

“You can back off now.” Qian Wushan placed both of his hands onto the armrests of the chair and slowly stood up. With his back straighten, he looked at the sky outside the room. An overbearing and extremely confident aura appeared on him, and it felt like he could devour the world.

“The Family Leader is sometimes too careful. If he didn’t move this time and went to have tea with others such as the Snake Emperor to tie them down, sending Zene Skylar to deal with Qian Jin instead, this issue would have already been solved.”

“Once people age, even the heroes will make these rookie mistakes.” With a bitter expression on his face, Qian Wushan continued, “If the Family Leader informed me about this earlier, I would only need to use some tricks to tie down the Snake Emperor who is known for his wisdom and vision, and Qian Jin will no longer be an issue for us. It seems like the leader of Qian Family has to change after Zence New Generation Warrior and Mage Competition.”

“Change?” Anger appeared in Qian Zhanri’s eyes. He raised his leg and was about to walk out of the room, but Qian Zhanxuan raised his arm and blocked him.

“Big Brother…” Qian Zhanri looked at Qian Zhanxuan in displeasure and said, “Wushan is a bit too prideful. I…”

“Don’t worry, Zhanri.” Qian Zhanxuan’s face showed that he didn’t care too much about this, and he said, “Wushan is still young. He doesn’t know that if you don’t directly kill someone with full strength and instead offer many opponents who are only slightly stronger, you will only nurture that person and make him grow and develop.”

“Then why…”

“No worries,” Qian Zhanxuan said as he waved his hand. “Fortunately, Qian Jin is only an ordinary warrior, and there is a limit to his growth. This Qian Jin can be used to help Wushan correct his misunderstanding of the world. Later, he won’t underestimate any opponents who have great potential. He will know that even if only fighting a rabbit, a great dragon will show its full strength.”

Yulee City was only a big city in the Zence Empire, and it wasn’t on the list of top-tier cities.

However, now it became the city that the entire Zence Empire was focused on. Even the demons and barbarians were paying attention to it.

It wasn’t one of the cities that people were paying attention to; it was the city that attracted the most attention. Even if the emperor of Zence suddenly passed away, it couldn’t steal all the attention that these forces and people placed on Yulee.

Perhaps it was just like what Zence Matten said jokingly. “Perhaps only Father running around the Holy Capital naked will steal the attention that people placed on Yulee.”

Sitting on his horse, Qian Jin looked at the defense wall of Yulee City that wasn’t far away. His journey didn’t start here, but his sharp rise began at this place.

There were too many memories that were associated with this city.

Normally, many merchants would be coming and going from the city through the gate. However, that couldn’t be compared to such a grand scene today. Perhaps such a scene would only reappear if the Emperor of Zence came here himself.

More than 10,000 people gathered outside the city gate and they formed neat formations, patiently waiting around the city. If the murderous spirit could be felt from these people, others would believe that demons were invading and already got close to Yulee City. It looked like the soldiers and residents of Yulee were all armed, trying to lock their fates together with the city.

The news about Qian Jin’s return swept across the Yulee State, and many residents in nearby cities rushed over, trying to see who this young warrior of Zence was. After all, he rivaled Jiliu Feijing of Lucifer.

“Yo? Isn’t he the President of the Central Blacksmith Union, Cheng Bupeng?” Pam Honzi’s sharp eyes saw an old man from several kilometers away. This old man was full of white hair, yet he looked more energetic than a 20-year-old.

“Also, there is the President of the Central Pharmacist Union, Thatcher Wright.” Izabella pouted her beautiful red lips and said, “This old man is even arrogant in front of the Emperor of Zence. He actually came all the way to Yulee today.”

Marc Gavin looked at the President of Central Runemaster Union and the President of Central Warrior Union. If it were before, he would have jumped up in excitement. But today, he wasn’t in the mood to react to this.

York Leigh looked at the big figures around him and felt a little nervous.

Rosella looked at the nervous expression on York Leigh’s face and faintly smiled. She thought to herself, “This Castellan makes everyone else nervous in Yulee City, and he is a big figure himself. But today, he is so nervous that he keeps on swallowing his saliva.”

York Leigh sensed Rosella’s stare, and he felt powerless. If Rosella were someone else, he would have scolded her afterward to show her the power of a castellan.

However, Rosella was Qian Jin’s woman.

Although Qian Jin was only the leader of a few forces in Yulee City on paper, and it seemed like his status was lower than the Castellan of Yulee. However, the forces that Qian Jin had control over far exceed the strength of the castellan of the central city of a state.

Anyone who wasn’t a fool knew that Qian Jin’s forces could rival those bloodline families that had been around for many years.

That is right! Except for the Royal Family, there had never been an ordinary warrior whose forces could rival the top-ten bloodline families and the three ultimate bloodline families.

Now, such a young man appeared among the ordinary warriors, and he was only about 20 years old.

Qian Jin didn’t leave Yulee City often to develop his forces in other cities, but he was able to grow his forces into giants in a short time.

York Leigh looked at Pam Honzi who was getting closer and closer, and he could only sigh and think, “This Snake Emperor sure is a true strategy master! I don’t know what method he used, but he hit all the strategic targets while Qian Jin was in Yulee City. Normal young people don’t have this level of patience.”

York Leigh knew that if any other ordinary warrior obtained Qian Jin’s strength and forces, they would want to show off. They would have charged onto the Human-Demon Battlefront or ventured into the Holy Capital.

However, even more powerful and influential figures existed on the Human-Demon Battlefront and in the Holy Capital. Perhaps Qian Jin would be instantly buried as soon as he went there.

“He sure has a different vision!” York Leigh had to admire Pam Honzi, and he thought, “Such a big figure stands on another level, and he can see further away. If one of my sons had Qian Jin’s strength, I would have sent him to the Holy Capital so that he can get in touch with more things. However, it seems beneficial but would hinder his growth in the long-term.”

“All this endurance is worth it!” York Leigh looked at Qian Jin who was getting closer sighed as he thought, “When this young man left Yulee last time, his forces were on par with mine, and he was weaker than me. Now, only the Royal Family, the top-ten bloodline families, and the three ultimate bloodline families could rival his forces. This young man’s strength…”

York Leigh suddenly got curious. According to the information that he got from the people who Pam Honzi sent over, even top-tier soul-power warriors couldn’t defeat Qian Jin.

“What does that mean?” York Leigh was confident that he could easily kill Qian Jin if he wanted to when Qian Jin left Yulee last time.

“Now, from what Snake Emperor revealed to me, it seems like Qian Jin surpassed me in the overall strength of forces and also individual…”

“It is fortunate that I didn’t become enemies Qian Jin.” York Leigh was glad that he directly sided with Snake Emperor Pam Honzi after learning about Qian Jin’s background. If he decided to side with the Elf King Bloodline Family, there was no way that Qian Jin wouldn’t deal with him this time.

“Brother Qian Jin! You are finally back!” York Leigh laughed and walked toward Qian Jin with his arms open. He no longer called Qian Jin directly by his name or referred to him as ‘kid’. Instead, he was addressing Qian Jin as a brother on his level.

“Hello, Mr. Castellan.” Qian Jin hugged York Leigh symbolically, and Yunxing Huisheng already walked over with a smile.

“Master Yunxing.” Qian Jin gave Yunxing Huisheng a solid hug.

“Kid, let me introduce you to…” Yunxing Huisheng instantly grabbed Qian Jin and pulled him toward Cheng Bupeng, the President of the Central Blacksmith Union.

“Master Yunxing, please wait for a second.” Qian Jin suddenly paused his steps and said, “I have something to announce. I don’t want to reveal my decision after those big figures state their stances. I don’t want to drag the big unions into the mud with me. Somethings have to be explained first.”

Yunxing Huisheng froze for a second; he had never seen such a serious expression on Qian Jin’s face. Also, the leaders of all the forces looked at Qian Jin, and their eyes moved with him.

“Jane…” Qian Jin walked to Gomez Jane, and he said in a lower voice with a serious expression, “Uncle Fabreidis… Uncle… returned to the stars…”

Qian Jin’s low voice sounded like a rumble of thunder in everyone’s ears, and York Leigh’s body shock as a chill shot into his brain from the bottom of his spine.

“Fabreidis, a saint warrior, died!”

Gomez Jane had a smile on her face since her lover returned, but that smile froze once she heard that. She already reached out her hands to hold Qian Jin’s hands, and they froze in mid-air.

“Who did it?”

After a while, Gomez Jane suddenly asked a simple question in her calm tone. However, only the real warriors could hear the chilly murderous spirit.

“Qian Zhanxuan,” Qian Jin’s answer was simple as well.

However, this simple answer wasn’t so simple in others’ ears.

Qian Zhanxuan, the most powerful warrior of Qian Family, one of the top-tier warriors among humans, demons, and barbarians.

“How can this revenge take place? Now, it seems like Qian Jin and Qian Zhanxuan are extremely hostile toward each other now.

For a moment, many leaders of the forces that wanted to get close to Qian Jin changed their minds. After all, offending Qian Zhanxuan wasn’t a good thing.

“I got it.” Gomez Jane lower her hands that were about to grab Qian Jin’s, and he said, “I took care of Rosella for you, and you can take care of her yourself. I’m leaving; I have something to do.”

“Where are you going?” Qian Jin blocked Gomez Jane’s path and calmly stared at this woman who was a bit older than her.

“Kill people.”

“Qian Zhanxuan?”

“More. Everyone in Qian Family.”

The simple conversation made people in the area feel chills in their bones, and they thought, “They are talking about murder without hesitation in public! About killing the people of Qian Family! Normally, no one dares to think like this. Now, these two young people are talking about it like this!”

“How many can you kill?”

“As many as I can,” Gomez Jane replied but didn’t stop her steps. She side-stepped and tried to move past Qian Jin, but she was always blocked.

Suddenly, a streak of viciousness appeared in Gomez Jane’s eyes, and her Dual-Moon appeared in her hands. She placed the dual blades on Qian Jin’s neck and said, “Move! Don’t force me to kill you! I will kill anyone who blocks my way today!”

York Leigh backed off by one step subconsciously, and he looked at Gomez Jane who was in a state of frenzy and thought, “The pain of losing her father made this cold woman lose her mind. She is back to the ice-cold Gomez Jane who people knew her as.

“How many people can you kill? Will Qian Zhanxuan really care about those people?” Qian Jin looked at Gomez Jane calmly and didn’t move. He said, “How many bloodline warriors does Qian Family have? They are able to endure the loss, but can you?”

“Move.” Gomez Jane pushed the sabers on Qian Jin’s neck a bit further, and red blood leaked onto the clean blades, creating two red lines and slowly dripping onto the back of Qian Jin’s feet.

“Don’t…”

Rosella gasped and ran toward the two, but Gabriella grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.

“Don’t go over.” Gabriella was still hiding in her big mage robe, but her timid voice sounded determined, which was rare. “It is useless for you to go over.”

Hearing Gabriella’s words, Gomez Jane also paused her steps. Before Qian Jin went to the territory of demons, he asked her to come back to Yulee to protect Rosella and others. After spending time together, she learned more about Gabriella and others’ tempers.

“Put down the sabers.” Qian Jin looked at Gomez Jane and said peacefully. Then, he slowly raised his arms, and his fingers moved through Gomez Jane’s long hair and caressed her cheeks.

“I don’t want to say that I know how you feel. You lost your dad. No one can feel your pain unless they went through a similar experience.

“I don’t want to tell you to be strong; no one can suppress their sadness after losing their fathers.”

“I only want to tell you that you got me for everything.”

“I only want to say that your pain is my pain.”

“I only want to say that you are my woman. As long as I’m the man of the family, I should be handling all these issues.”

“I only want to say that your man isn’t dead; it isn’t your turn to grab your sabers and risk your life to kill people.”

“I only want to tell you that you will be the one who will chop off Qian Zhanxuan’s head. I will break all his bones, and I will make the entire Qian Family apologize to you. If they don’t, I will destroy the entire Qian Family.”

“I am your man and your only loved one in this world. You must believe you, and you can only believe me. Unless I die, it isn’t your turn to battle.”

“Do you hear me?”

Qian Jin’s words hammered Gomez Jane’s mind and everyone else’s. Soon, these words were going to spread in the Zence Empire, the Lucifer Empire, and the Barbarian Empire.

Qian Jin was using these words to show his stance. All forces learned that this young man and Qian Family couldn’t co-exist. Later, there would only be fierce battles between the two.

All the leaders of the forces who wanted to establish a friendship with Qian Jin had to think hard about what Qian Jin had said. After all, Qian Jin used the words that no other forces would use.

While all men were considering the issue with forces and power dynamics, all women were looking at Qian Jin in admiration. The young girls even looked at Qian Jin with red hearts in their eyes.

“Cousin, you are so dashing!” Qian Nianchen looked back at Qian Jin without blinking, and she tightly grabbed the Leader of the Underworld of Yulee, Jun Wudo. She said, “Dad! Cousin Qian Jin is so dashing! In the next long while, Cousin Qian Jin is going to be prince charming to many young girls in Zence! Do you believe me? His dominating words can touch any women and make them cry. Look, my cousin-in-law is crying…”

“Look! Her blade dropped to the ground!”

“Quick! Look! Cousin Qian Jin embraced her!”

Qian Jin caressed Gomez Jane’s shoulder and felt her body twitching as she sobbed. He lightly patted her shoulder and said, “Cry, don’t hold it in. You got me for everything.”
