Scheme and Plans

1847 Words
Soon, the news of what happened in the conference room spread like a wildfire. Every person living in Shiba Clan Compound quickly became aware of what happened there. As the disciples heard this, they felt as though their heads were exploding. A waste like Jaden had a fortuitous encounter and broke through the fifth-layer of Foundation Establishment Realm? He only used a single move to defeat Marcus when he was using his Bloodline Limit’s strongest move? How could a waste like Jaden be this frightening? “This…..this….” Tony was shocked beyond belief. He could not utter a single word. He recalled his mocking from before, and began shivering. Not only him, but the other disciples also began to shiver. So what if Jaden only possessed a Yellow-grade Bloodline Limit? His cultivation had already reached the fifth-layer of Foundation Establishment Realm, and he only used a single move to defeat Marcus who used his strongest move! How are these people comparable to the current Jaden? They definitely did not have any qualifications! While the disciples on the Martial Training Ground were surprised by the abrupt news, the incident at the Hall of Conference also quickly spread to the inner circle of Shiba Clan, and to the Imperial City. This time, everyone was completely dumbfounded. Jaden only used a single move to defeat Marcus. This was actually the renowned waste, Jaden? However, most of these people quickly recovered their senses, and none of them put the matter in their own heart. After all, Jaden only possessed a Yellow-grade Bloodline Limit. His future achievements would definitely be exceedingly dull. This time, he might have had a fortuitous encounter, but will that happen the next time as well? Marcus was a Sky-grade genius. Although Marcus may have lost this time, his future would definitely be limitless and incomparable. --------- At this moment, within a luxurious court in Shiba Clan. “I will kill him, I will definitely kill him!” Marcus’s eyes turned red, his killing aura overflowed, “That trash actually defeated me. How? How?!” Victor looked into Marcus’s eyes, and shook his head. However, his heart was also incomparably angry. That was because Jaden completely ruined his plan. Not only did Victor not take over the position as the Patriarch, his grandson, Marcus, was also defeated; thus, leaving behind a traumatic experience that would affect his growth. “Calm down,” Victor said as he restrained his anger. He whispered, “Five days later, the Heavenly Sword Sect’s Elder Black Lotus will come here. After Elder Black Lotus has officially taken you up as his disciple, we will finally be able to seek revenge for what happened today. We’ll make Jaden and William, the father and son, suffer.” “Yes, once Elder Black Lotus is here, I’ll definitely show them!” Marcus revealed a gaze reminiscent of a hungry wolf. --------- Meanwhile, on the other side of Imperial City, within the Blackwood Clan, in a private room. “How long before Elder Black Lotus comes here?” asked a middle aged man. This man had a blue cape draped over himself, and his figure was lofty, emanating an indescribable pressure. He was the Patriarch of the Blackwood Clan, Leonardo Blackwood. “He’ll be here in three days,” the youth in front of Leonardo laughed, “Elder Black Lotus told Shiba Clan that it’d be five days after. There’s two days for us to take care of our matters.” A radiance flashed through Leonardo’s eyes, “Good. I’d like to see just how the Shiba Clan is going to survive this time.” As the youth heard this, his brows slightly creased followed by saying, “Father, I don’t understand what’s the point of this plan. Just who are these Shiba Clan people? The number one genius of the Shiba Clan, Marcus, is trash in front of my eyes. There’s no way I’d fear him.” The youth was the son of Leonardo, the brother of Christine, David. Leonardo slightly shook his head before saying, “You don’t understand. The disciples of Shiba Clan, with a sky-grade and black-grade Bloodline Limit, have potential. We want to completely clean out the entire Shiba Clan and not leave anything behind. We have to get revenge for what Jaden did to your brother Edward.” David was expressionless. One could tell by the blood-thirsty intent exuding from his eyes that he didn’t take the words Leonardo said to heart. Leonardo suddenly remembered something and said, “I heard that Jaden defeated Marcus?” As he heard this, David sneered in disdain without saying anything. It was very evident that Jaden did not have the qualifications for David to comment. Leonardo also shook his head; it was as though he was rebuking himself for mentioning Jaden. He followed by asking, “Oh right, is there any news about your sister?” David shook his head and said nothing. His sister was not worthy of his care. Leonardo snorted in discontent, “This Christine is getting crazier and crazier. Alright, you may leave now. Go and cultivate. If you’re lacking anything, come and find me.” ********** After leaving the Conference Hall, Jaden directly went to the Patriarch’s courtyard with William. The second they took a step into the courtyard, Brian, who was waiting, immediately asked, “Master, how did things go?” William laughed and said, “Brian, I have given birth to a good son. If it wasn’t for Jaden, then I wouldn’t know what we could expect from today’s events.” Although William had already thoroughly understood the matter, he could still only sigh when he thought back to it. Brian finally relaxed, followed by his face turning red as he looked at Jaden. He felt a little embarrassed as he said, “Young Lord, I was just anxious before. I hope you don’t take what I said into your heart.” “Don’t worry, Uncle Brian. I know you’re doing this for my father.” Jaden gave a faint smile. Jaden’s attitude toward Brian had always been respectful, thus, no matter how much Brian insulted him, Jaden would not blame him. At this moment, William suddenly recalled something and looked at Jaden with his face turning stern, “Son, although Victor and the rest didn’t succeed this time, the situation is still not good. In five days, the Heavenly Sword Sect will come and officially accept Marcus as a disciple. By then, I won’t be able to preserve my position as Patriarch.” William paused before he continued, “You offended them this time, so they definitely will not leave this matter alone. Instead of waiting for them to take their revenge, why don’t you pack up and we’ll escape to a faraway land?” As Brian heard this, his face turned solemn, and he nodded. It was evident that he agreed with what William said. Although Jaden only needed half a month to break through the fifth-layer of Foundation Establishment Realm, and had touched upon the entrance of the ‘One with the Sword’ realm, his Bloodline Limit was still only of Yellow-grade. This was definitely not enough to become a disciple of Heavenly Sword Sect. A great sect like Heavenly Sword Sect prioritizes the grade of the Bloodline Limit when they select disciples. Jaden didn’t have the slightest bit of hesitation as he immediately shook his head, “Father, I’m not leaving. If I were to leave now, then I’m afraid that I would never rest again without worry. Don’t fear father, Uncle Brian... I have my own plans so you don’t need to be so concerned.” As William and Brian heard this, they glanced at each other wanting to say something, but ultimately decided not to. How could they not worry about the current situation? However, considering Jaden’s personality, the two of them simultaneously shook their heads. Even if they were to further advise him, his decision would remain unchanged. Nonetheless, the reason why William didn’t further argue was because he had a feeling that his own son hid another formidable trump card. This was also because they knew Jaden wasn’t a reckless person. Jaden looked at the two people and thought. He still hadn’t informed them about the matter with David. Originally when Jaden heard from Brian that Victor was planning on Challenging William’s position in the Clan, he was planning on releasing the Rage God Bloodline, turn the tables around, and defeat Marcus. However, after he heard that Marcus had been selected as a disciple for the Heavenly Sword Sect, Jaden ultimately decided to restrain himself and not release his Bloodline limit. This was because of Blackwood Clan’s David Blackwood. The Blackwood Clan hadn’t publicly released the fact that David had awakened a sky-grade Bloodline Limit. This made Jaden question the reason behind it. Based on this suspicion, Jaden had a faint feeling that Blackwood Clan would make a big move during the selection of disciples five days later. He didn’t want to let William and Brian know of this because he did not want them to have too many worries. Furthermore, even if Blackwood Clan had some kind of conspiracy, it still wasn’t a problem for Jaden. This was because Jaden’s trump card was the Rage God Bloodline, which had reached the Heaven grade. Just like what Jaden had said to Christine in the past, he was not afraid of David at all. As he thought to this point, Jaden’s heart regained its calm. After bidding farewell to William and Brian, he returned to his own courtyard. On the way back to his own courtyard, Jaden encountered something rather interesting. The servants of the Clan, as well as the disciples who had previously looked at him in disdain, were taking the initiative to greet him. Jaden laughed to himself. It seemed like the incident in the Conference Hall had already spread to these servants and disciples. However, Jaden ignored them. These were the same people who sneered and ridiculed him in the past. Thus, trying to repent for it now was simply too late. After he returned to his courtyard, Jaden quickly went inside his house and brought out several jade bottles, withdrawing the Qi Nurturing Pills from within them. The Spiritual Qi emanating from these pills in a pile was extremely dense. “I wonder what level the Rage God Bloodline can reach with these five hundred Qi Nurturing Pills!”
