Zither Emperor Chapter 465 Chapter 144 Dual Positions Part 2_1

465: Chapter 144: Dual Positions (Part 2)_1 465: Chapter 144: Dual Positions (Part 2)_1 “Wei Tingfeng, you better keep your mouth shut.

Regarding the proposal of the Chrysanthemum Clan, I hope we can wait for Sect Leader Wei Lingfeng to return and discuss it then.” Chess Sect Leader Nie Ping finally couldn’t bear it any longer and spoke up.

Wei Tingfeng’s repeated provocations had aroused his discontent.

Among the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans, the Four Magic Sects were inherently in a disadvantaged position, and the Zither Sect – as the head of these four sects – was under constant oppression from the Chrysanthum Clan, sparking collective resistance among them.

The Chess and Hua Sects had supported Qin Shang and Ye Li when a choice had to be made between development under Xu Tu or establishing a county.

Only the Shu Sect, along with a few other martial sects, supported country establishment.

This recklessness was prompted by the unanimous position of the three Supreme Elders.

Chrysanthum Clan’s Supreme Elder Mei Qing spoke in a deep voice, “Elder Wei, I think we better wait until the representatives from the Chrysanthum and Mei Clans return.

Afterall, the only royal bloodline in the Eastern Dragon Empire has not returned safely.

It is not the appropriate time to convene the founding ceremony.

After the two sect leaders return, we should carefully consider how to assimilate with Qin City.

The newly established Empire must not resort to killings.

Besides, Ye Yinzhu has now bee the Zhu Sect Leader, having the Zhu Sect’s support – together with Qin Shang and Ye Li involved – any act of aggression on our part would potentially cause significant damage.

From my perspective, Qin City is not as simple as it appears on the surface.

I believe you’ve also sensed it.

There are quite a few powerful entities lurking within the Burna Mountain Range, enough to pose a threat to us, the Eastern Dragon.”

Wei Ming turned his gaze towards Lan Ruxue, “Elder Lan, what’s your opinion?”

Lan Ruxue stated, “I agree with Elder Mei’s views, let’s wait until the leaders of the Mei and Chrysanthum Sects return.”

Wei Ming sighed quietly.

Although he was in favor of his nephew Wei Tingfeng’s opinion, going against the majority was not an option.

Not only the Chess Sect, but the leaders of the Hua and Lan Sects also showed clear displeasure towards Wei Tingfeng.

It wasn’t the right time for a decisive action.

“If that’s the case, then let’s follow the two Elders’ advice.

We will make a decision only after the leaders of the Mei and Chrysanthum Sects return.

Everyone can now take a break.” Wei Ming concluded.

“Wait a moment.” Lan Ruxue suddenly spoke, “I hope that all sects will keep a strict watch on their disciples.

Before the final decision is made at the Sect Conference, no one is allowed to have any conflicts with the Qin City’s side to avoid exacerbating the situation and cause more trouble.”

Except for Wei Tingfeng, everyone else nodded subconsciously.

They knew that Lan Ruxue’s decision was the best solution for now.

Upon leaving the courtyard, Ye Yinzhu felt slightly relieved, but the worries he had harbored deep inside were intensified.

Wei Ming was right.

After all, he was a member of the Eastern Dragon Eight Sects!

Blood was thicker than water.

How could he oppose the Eight Sects?

Not to mention the strength of Qin City to resist Eight Sects, could he really attack his own people?

The answer was no.

When he returned to the Lord’s Mansion, his family was waiting there, including Anya and Zi.

“Yin Zhu, I have already arranged for Yan Luo and the others.

You don’t need to worry.

How are things?” Anya was probably the most anxious.

The Elf Tribe had finally started to take root in Qin City!

Ye Yinzhu sighed lightly, “I don’t know what their decision will be, but I have made my stance public.

I will not give up the sovereignty of Qin City.

Sister Anya, Zi, don’t worry.

I will fulfill the promises I made to you.”

Anya sighed softly, “It’s a pity that the time is too short.

If we had a few more years to develop, we could build Qin City’s strength.

Then, no one would dare to act recklessly in our city.”

Hearing Anya’s words, Ye Li, who was by their side, expressed his dissatisfaction, “Young girl, you can’t just say that.

Yin Zhu himself is a part of the Eastern Dragon Eight Sects.

Although I also don’t agree with the current decision-making methods of the Eight Sects, from my perspective, it is correct to say that Qin City belongs to the Eastern Dragon Eight Sects.”

Anya gave a slight smile, “Elder Ye, you are Yin Zhu’s grandfather, and I respect you.

But, please spare me the term ‘young girl’.

I belong to the Elf Tribe, and already over four hundred years old this year.

If we were to arrange by age, perhaps…”

Ye Li’s face changed slightly, and he humphed but didn’t utter any more words.

Ye Yinzhu gave Anya a pitiful look, to which Anya could only shake her head helplessly, “Yin Zhu, this matter must be handled properly.

Otherwise, although I can control the Elf Tribe, I can’t guarantee the same for the dwarf tribe and the goblin tribe, who only recently moved into Qin city.

These two races are extremely sensitive and fear servitude the most.

You should consider them too, do you understand my meaning?”

Ye Yinzhu nodded, smiling bitterly, “Of course, I understand, Sister Anya.

Please give me some time.

Honestly, I have not yet e up with a solution for this.”

Anya spoke gravely, “Yin Zhu, this matter concerns the safety and future of our four races as well as the future of over twenty thousand humans in Qin City, you must make a decision.

Even if the Eastern Dragon Eight Sects were to launch a military attack, we wouldn’t be afraid, you know how strong Qin city is.

We also do not want to make it difficult for you, but there is no other way.

In fact, it wouldn’t be unacceptable if the Eastern Dragon Eight Sects were to bee the leaders of Qin City.

But our bottom line is that the Eastern Dragon Eight Sects should be led by you.

You must bee the supreme ruler of the Eastern Dragon Eight Sects.”

“Me?

How is that even possible?

Even though I’ve already bee the Sect Master of Zhu Sect and Zither Sect, my status in the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans is low, let alone my position.

It’s almost impossible.” Ye Yinzhu furrowed his brows with some pain.

With a long sigh, Qin Shang said, “I never imagined that our arrival would cause you such great troubles.

To be honest, when we arrived, we had no idea about the situation in Qin City.

As far as we were concerned, it should have just been an ordinary place with a very strategic location.

Yet we didn’t know that Qin City had already grown so quickly in your absence.

Yinzhu, in this matter, your grandfather and I won’t give any advice.

Since you took our positions, you have to demonstrate the abilities of the two sects’ masters.

Currently, the best solution might be coexistence.

This Burna Mountain Range is vast enough.

If we from the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans can coexist with the original inhabitants of Qin city, it might be a temporary choice.

As for the future, we’ll have to count on you.

You must remember that power always has the final say on this continent.

When you have the overwhelming power, your word will bee a mand.

Even manding the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans is possible.”

Ye Li glanced at Qin Shang and said, “Old Qin, are you encouraging my grandson to rebel?

Even though I am displeased with those guys, we cannot do such a thing as part of the Eastern Dragon.”

Qin Shang retorted irritably, “What rebellion?

I just hope that Yinzhu can guide the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans onto a path of brightness.

Who among the young generation of the Eight Clans has the potential like Yinzhu?

The future of our Eastern Dragon Empire lies with Yinzhu.”

With a glint in his eyes, Qin Shang said resignedly, “Forget it, I won’t meddle in this anymore.

Yinzhu, you decide for yourself.

All you need to remember is that no matter when, your two grandfathers are always standing by your side.

But you have to promise me that no matter what happens next, you will not bring disaster to the Zhu Sect, which means, Zhu Sect will not fight amongst their own people for you.

We never hope to see fratricide.”

Ye Yinzhu nodded firmly, “Grandfather, no matter when, I will not let that happen.

If a real war breaks out, I will try my best to limit the scale.

The Eastern Dragon also doesn’t want massive sacrifices.

I believe that we, the residents of Qin City, still possess a deterrent force for peace.”

Turning around, he looked at Anya and Zi, “Sister Anya, Zi, I have decided.

It’s impossible to expel the Eastern Dragon Clans and I won’t fight against them.

For now, it seems that the best solution is peaceful coexistence.

At least temporarily.

The Burna Mountain Range is still under our control.

What we need most now is time to develop.”

Anya sighed in relief, “Temporary peaceful coexistence seems to be the only choice.”

Ye Yinzhu said, “Sister Anya, Zi, please lead your people to rest near Qin City in the mountain range and wait for my message.

Also, including Ming, ask the dwarf warriors to be ready.

Although the internal fight in Qin City will not happen, we must have enough deterrent power.

Only then will we have the qualification to talk in front of those hardliners from the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans.”

As for the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans, Ye Yinzhu was deeply disappointed.

Their reckless decision had dragged the Eight Eastern Dragon Clans into a severe crisis.

Just because Faran is in seclusion does not mean he is oblivious to the outside world.

What if they ceased their seclusion halfway?

Not to mention the Eastern Dragon Clans, I fear all of Qin City will be wiped out.

Now he can only take one step at a time, hoping that Faran will not cease his seclusion.

“Yinzhu, e out.” A chilly voice suddenly came from outside the Lord’s Mansion.

Ye Yinzhu recognized the voice as his grandmother, Lan Ruxue, and subconsciously looked at his grandfather.

Ye Li nodded at Ye Yinzhu, “Go.

She might be a bit stubborn, but after all, she is your grandmother.”

Ye Yinzhu agreed and hurriedly walked out of the Lord’s Mansion.

Lan Ruxue stood quietly outside the Lord’s Mansion, looking at the ing out Ye Yinzhu, a plex light showing in her eyes, “Twenty years, my grandson has grown so big.

Yinzhu, I’m sorry, it’s the first time I see you from birth till today.

I never fulfilled my duty as a grandmother.”

Seeing Lan Ruxue’s eyes getting red, Ye Yinzhu’s heart softened, “Grandmother, don’t be like this.

I know you must have your reasons.

You and grandfather…”
