Battle Through the Heaven (斗破苍穹)

Episode 38

Clan Leader, that person is merely a side character.

Clan Leader, please no not worry about it.

Side character.

One of the leaders of the five big clans still has a small character?

What we are doing now is risking universal condemnation.

If this matter gets publicly known, we then will become mad people that can be righteously killed by anyone.

Yet you say that this person is a side character?

Clan Leader, please don't worry. Currently, the entire Xiao family has already been exterminated .

Even if someone were to head out and rescue him,

what good would he attain?

The Fight Qi Continent is very realistic, Clan Leader/

Do you remember that Xiao Yan and Yanran

set a three year agreement?

I was present at the scene back then.

That brat, Xiao Yan, is a big talker.

They, father and son, were such a joke at that time.

Do you think that child will come?

Come?

Even if you borrowed him ten "courages", he still may not necessarily come.

Recently, Nalan Yanran has also received training from you.

The multiple posts of the Nalan family and the Cloud Mist Sect have exceptional skills.

That child is not our match.

I'm afraid that he will not come.

We've destroyed the Xiao Clan.

We set up ambushes in

61 areas here in Fight Qi Continent

and took from them 150 lives.

But this kid still fell through the net.

Yes. It is I who is incapable.

I let one slip through.

If you pluck weeds without destroying the roots,

they will just grow again when the spring wind blows.

Clan Leader, please rest assured. I have already thoroughly planned.

We will mobilize all the strength we can mobilize

and flip over mountains and scourage the seas to find him. If he doesn't come,

If he comes, he's bound to be captured and imprisoned.

and let him be with that person.

Then, they father and son can reunite.

If this person is sent away one day earlier,

then I can be at ease one day earlier.

But what's strange is,

has the Xiao Clan's Fight Qi Pavilion really been burned down?

You are out and about a lot. Have you heard any news?

Clan Leader, everything that I do is per your orders.

About investigating the Xiao Clan's Fight Qi Pavilion, the Thirteen Temple Elders were all there.

They all personally saw the Fight Qi Pavilion being burned down.

All of the scrolls were burned to ashes.

I did not unauthorizedly take any scrolls.

All of my capabilities were taught by you, Clan Leader.

I only care for some insignificant skills for refining pellets.

As for things about Fight Qi, I do not care.

So, Clan Leader, please investigate clearly.

Refining medicine is an insignificant skill?

I heard that among the books hidden in the Nalan Clan,

many are high-level alchemy books.

Yes.

When we swallow the Nalan Clan in the future,

those treasures will naturally be yours.

Thank you, Clan Leader.

Uncle Xiao!

Miss Nalan?

Uncle Xiao, was it my master who captured you?

it was the Thirteen Elders of the Cloud Mist Sect.

Thirteen Elders?

No way. They have already been cultivating in solitude for a long time

and they are all very very good people.

They wouldn't do this.

They killed off all of my clan members

and also imprisoned me here.

Did you offend my master?

I have— I have offended the Soul Hall.

I have always felt that there has been someone going against my Xiao Clan.

There were spies covering the whole area, entrenching themselves in every step, testing us one after the other.

I just wasn't sure that it was the Cloud Mist Sect.

It can't be.

My master and the Soul Hall cannot exist together.

He's a tower of strength, wise and resolute. He's the leader of the five big clans.

He is the most venerable leader. He...

He couldn't have.

He couldn't have.

Does your master know that you came here?

Is it safe? This won't harm you, would it?

Do you remember when back then you and your grandfather came to the Xiao Clan to reject the marriage?

I made a grand mistake.

Before, Gu He contacted me.

I knew too that in the Fight Qi Continent, only the strong are respected.

Your grandfather did so because he had no choice.

I just wanted to vent my anger.

I wanted to personally hear him ask to nullify the marriage.

But I did not expect the two families to become enemies.

The century old good relation between Nalan Family and Xiao Family got destroyed just because of this anger.

I regret it so much.

Before Grandfather died, he said...

...he also feels very regretful.

A child commits mistakes, so do adults.

The mistake of a person with higher position and stronger power

can deal more harm.

Are you talking about Master?

Not only your Master.

Star Fall Pavilion also has a part in it.

Soul Hall will be winning soon.

Winning without fighting.

Such good methods.

We are not their competition.

I'll personally ask my Master.

- Uncle Xiao, I'll get you out of here. - Don't move.

You don't have such an ability.

Do you want to die here in Cloud Mist Sect?

Uncle Xiao, don't you want to seek revenge?

Revenge? That is already not my duty.

Each generation has their mission.

I...have already...

...done my job.

I'm contented.

I don't have anymore regrets.

For the future...

Let us just let the future people do the future things.

I just want to have a good sleep.

They will send me to Soul Hall very soon.

Xiao Yan will come...

...to fulfill the 3-years agreement.

Uncle Xiao, do you have any words you want me to relay to him?

None.

None.

I've done what should be done.

Descendants have their own fortune.

Whatever your generation wants to do,

it's your choice.

I want to ask you,

Did your grandfather leave you the Dituo Ancient Jade

being passed down in your Nalan Family?

Keep it well.

While the Ancient Jade is in your hands,

you can live longer.

Remember this warning.

- Xun'er, you're here. - Father.

Eat some snacks.

I'm not hungry. You eat.

When I was little, you and mother won't let me eat these.

Only when there is a guest in our house,

can I sneak into the kitchen at night and secretly eat the cakes made by the cook.

The house is yours now. You still steal food?

I thought that once I've become the Dragon Mother, I don't need to be locked up.

Who knew that there will be more restrictions?

The water and wines placed on the table are just for display.

One can't really drink them.

When eating, I can only eat a piece of those desserts.

They won't let me eat more.

Even when my neck is itchy, they won't let me scratch it.

They said that I must look majestic.

You think you're still a child?

You are now the Dragon Mother. Of course, you must follow these rules.

Today, when I was punishing the Dragon Rulers of the Three Islands,

I was shaking inside.

If not because I promised old Dragon Mother that I would do it,

I might have gotten soft-hearted and would let them go.

Xun'er, you did great.

Father,

Old Dragon Mother said that the reason the Gu Clan is like a pile of loose sand,

and can't be as prosperous as the other clans,

is because we are too lenient. This led to brothers turning hostile against each other.

Starting today, the Gu Clan must reorganize and implement the laws strictly.

Only by doing that can the Gu Clan get stronger,

can hold sway over Fight Qi Continent.

Father,

you think Old Dragon Mother is right?

Initially, I thought that if our Gu Clan just hide here far in the ocean,

even if we can't dominate the whole continent,

remaining aloof but continue existing in this world is also a good thing.

But now, the claws of Soul Hall has already infiltrated our clan.

I fear that we can't seek to have even a small peaceful area anymore.

You are now the Dragon Mother, the future of the Gu Clan. You should put much thought in this.

The future of Gu Clan...this goal is too huge.

I dare not think about it.

I only want to return to Tage'er Desert.

Xun'er, I know that this is hard on you.

My heart also aches for you.

But you are from the Gu Clan.

This is your home.

You should put your heart in your home now.

You want to go back because of Xiao Yan, right?

Actually, I should go back with you.

Clan Leader Xiao raised you.

These past years, he has been your father.

I should at least go back and thank him.

And in passing, light an incense for your auntie.

When will we set out?

So impatient.

How come you're still like a kid?

If you leave now, the Gu Clan will lose its main backbone.

If the situation here that just got pacified become chaotic again,

tell me, what then?

Moreover, their Xiao Clan is currently in danger.

I'm not ease to let you go back.

Brother Xiao Yan said that he surely will protect me.

Silly child, think about it.

You almost died here in Dragon Island.

How come he didn't come to save you?

He...
