Chapter 890: Chapter 594: Ransom_2
However, for him, this was undoubtedly a good thing.
After all, Qin Tian was his “convenient brother-in-law” and, more importantly, his most crucial ally for the future.
As the Nine Stars Martial Assembly approached, he wanted to resolve all scores at this grand event, which required substantial support, and Qin Tian was his strongest backing.
“Alright, I’ve fulfilled my duty as a messenger.” Dongfang Haoyue gathered his thoughts and said seriously, “As per your request, the location for the ransom is set on the ice plains of Mingwang Planet, and it’s scheduled for this afternoon. They are eager to take the person away; do you agree?”
“Agreed.” Qin Tian nodded slightly without any objections.
“Good, then I’ll relay the message back.” Dongfang Haoyue added, “By the way, at the time, both the Shinguji Clan and our Dongfang Clan will send representatives to ensure the smooth process of the ransom, preventing any unexpected incidents.”
“No problem.” Qin Tian agreed.
The Dongfang Clan’s proactive involvement was most likely Dongfang Haoyue’s idea—intended to ensure his safety and prevent the Moon Ghost Army and the Shinguji Clan from secretly sabotaging and taking advantage.
This kind thought was something he remembered well.
“Alright, I wish you success, waiting eagerly for your good news.” Dongfang Haoyue smiled and then ended the communication.
…
On Mingwang Planet, the ice winds howled, with a bone-piercing chill sweeping across the land.
On the vast ice plains, snow-covered,
a few figures stood lonely in the cold wind, emanating a powerful presence that starkly contrasted with the desolate ice field.
“This Qin Tian, such arrogance!” Shinguji Yano gazed at the barren ice plains, still seeing no sign of Qin Tian, and a flash of anger appeared in his eyes.
He had long heard that the Shinguji Clan’s direct lineage, Shinguji Yuzuo, was killed by this Qin Tian.
This person, despite being young, possessed exceptional talent, acted recklessly and arrogantly, and now upon meeting, indeed lived up to the reputation.
Nearing the appointed time and still not showing up was truly rude.
“Brother Yano, please be patient.”
Beside him, Dongfang Cheng, dressed in a blue robe with a gentle demeanor, smiled faintly, speaking calmly, “Hasn’t the appointed time not yet arrived? We’ve all lived for a hundred years, so we should have more composure and not get upset over such trifles.”
But these words sounded sarcastic to Shinguji Yano, igniting the fury within him. He was already filled with resentment for being sent to this icy, barren Mingwang Planet, and now being mocked by Dongfang Cheng, with his explosive temper, how could he endure?
“Dongfang Cheng, Qin Tian is just a dog raised by your Dongfang Family!” Shinguji Yano said in a harsh tone, “The dog doesn’t know the rules, shouldn’t you as the master educate him well so he doesn’t overstep and offend the wrong people?”
Dongfang Cheng’s smile remained unchanged, but his tone grew colder, faintly rebutting, “Brother Yano, mind your words. Qin Tian is a close ally of our Dongfang Family, collaborating deeply in various domains as both friends and allies. However, some people send their dogs to bite, and when the dog gets beaten to death, they have to clean up the mess—those people should indeed restrain their dogs, lest they repeat the mistake and bring disgrace.”
“You!” Shinguji Yano was furious, and gray-white energy started to swirl around him.
“What? Want to fight?”
Dongfang Cheng glanced at him, speaking calmly, “Before you act, you’d better think clearly—do you still want those two people?”
Hearing this, Sakata Yun stepped forward, gently tugging on Shinguji Yano’s sleeve, whispering to calm him down, “Elder Yano, please calm down.”
Shinguji Yano’s expression was dark enough to drip water, but he knew well that Dongfang Cheng’s words were true.
If they fought here, and Qin Tian executed hostages, their efforts would be in vain, and they couldn’t report back to the clan. Ultimately, he suppressed his anger, with the gray-white aura gradually receding.
Seeing this, Sakata Yun also breathed a sigh of relief.
At that moment, subtle spatial fluctuations arose in the air, very discreet but noticed by the Tier Eight experts present.
Their eyes sharpened, collecting their thoughts—the main character was finally about to appear.
Indeed, in the next second, a black figure abruptly appeared.
A sharp black military uniform outlined his tall and slender figure, with a stern face and eyes sharp like knives. He exuded a steady and powerful aura—Qin Tian.
“Elder Cheng.” Qin Tian’s gaze fell on Dongfang Cheng, slightly bowing.
Dongfang Cheng assessed Qin Tian, a look of approval flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled warmly, “No wonder Ming Yue is so enamored with you; General Qin is indeed handsome and extraordinary, even more remarkable than the rumors.”
Though this was his first time meeting Qin Tian, through the family intelligence, he already had an in-depth understanding. For instance, the recently popular Youth Potion, sought by countless people across the Empire, was independently developed by Qin Tian. He then collaborated with the Dongfang Family to expand production, earning the family massive wealth and causing quite a stir internally.
Moreover, the crucial factor for changing the fate of Mingwang Planet and ushering in a new era—Cold Tree, was also a core collaborative project between the Dongfang Family and Qin Tian. The Dongfang Family focused on cultivating Cold Tree saplings, then Qin Tian used his special abilities to awaken the life force of the Cold Tree, complementing each other. With this cooperation, numerous Holy Blood Clans and Golden Families actively connected with the Dongfang Family, seeking to catch the train to Mingwang Planet’s developmental dividends.
