Chapter 34: The Turning Point, Qin Long's Betrayal!

  Qin Xuan's eyes didn't move, staring tightly at Qin Yun Tian in front of him, his expression firm and resolute, without a hint of joking.

  The Qin family has been independent for over a hundred years since its founding by the old ancestor, with four separate branches that do not restrict each other. The purpose was to cultivate more talents and build a stronger force. Perhaps this goal was good at first, but as time went on, it is inevitable that no one would submit to anyone else, and under the drive of interests, even a split appeared, just like now.

  Fortunately, the crisis has been temporarily suppressed for now, but no one dares to guarantee that it will not happen again in the future. If that day really comes, perhaps the Qin family is not far from the day of destruction.

  Furthermore, the master in the mysterious cave of Flame Mountain Range also said that within three months at most, a powerful figure from a major sect would come to kill him. Although Qin Xuan could have just left and lived a life on the run, what about the Qin family?

  You can't run away from the temple even if you can run away from the monks. That's exactly what's happening with the Qin family now, and it's likely that they will disappear from the entire continent eventually.

  Although Qin Xuan came from Earth, he had people he cared about here and wanted to protect his loved ones, so he wouldn't just sit back and do nothing.

  Three months, a short period of time that is neither too short nor too long. How to make the most of these three months to comprehensively enhance the strength of the Qin family is very crucial.

  To eliminate external troubles, one must first resolve internal worries, and integrating the four branches of the Qin family is the first step!

  "Please father integrate the four prefectures!" Qin Xuan took a deep breath and said again.

  Furrowing his brow, Qin Yun Tian looked at his son and said frankly that he was indeed very pleased, but also somewhat surprised. After all, Qin Xuan's strength had progressed too quickly, far exceeding his expectations.

  However, even if so, Qin Xuan proposed this suggestion, and could even say that he requested it, but he still felt a bit absurd.

  The four Qin family mansions were deeply rooted in Qin Yun Tian's mind.

  "Hmm, I think it's okay." After a brief silence, Qin Ming said beside him, his face also somewhat serious, "Big brother, Qin Xuan's idea is not bad."

  When he heard this, Qin Xuan was stunned, clearly not expecting that the first to speak up would be Qin Ming. After all, Qin Ming was the master of Nanfu, and although his power wasn't overwhelming, in Nanfu, no one dared to disobey him. Qin Xuan's proposal to integrate the four prefectures also involved this master of Nanfu's personal interests, but unexpectedly, he actually agreed!

  "Nonsense!" Qin Yun Tian frowned and scolded, "You young people can talk nonsense, but how dare you speak such words."

  Qin Ming smiled and said, "Big brother, think about it. Is the current Qin family's four mansions still the same as before? If things continue to develop like this, the Qin family will eventually decline further and further, until..."

  At this point, Qin Ming stopped, but Qin Yun Tian knew what he meant and fell silent. The current situation of the Qin family, how could he not understand? It's just that all of this came too suddenly.

  "Eldest uncle." Suddenly, Qin Wei also slightly opened her vermilion lips and said, "Father is right, I also support Qin Xuan's view."

  Having said that, he looked at the young man with a profound gaze as if there was more to it.

  Qin Hongyuan, a big man on the side, also nodded in agreement.

  Qin Yuntian remained silent, apparently still hesitating.

  At this, Qin Xuan couldn't help but grit his teeth, weighing his words carefully for a long time before finally speaking up, "Father, to be honest with you, I was forced to enter the Flame Mountain Range this time. Although I gained an opportunity, I also brought disaster upon myself."

  "In three months, a large number of powerful individuals will arrive at the Qin family. If by then my Qin family is still in this state, we won't have even the slightest bit of strength to resist!"

  "What?!"

  As expected, everyone was shocked and immediately realized the severity of the situation. If it's really like this, then the problem is serious.

  Originally, Qin Xuan was thinking of waiting for a few days, until the storm had passed, before speaking out about this matter. But now he couldn't help it anymore, his father Qin Yun Tian's hesitation made him anxious.

  "If it's really like that, Yun Tian, then take over."

  At this time, a voice came from afar and gradually approached. Then, only to see the old ancestor of the Qin family slowly walking in from outside, wearing a black long gown, with a slightly solemn expression on his face.

  "Old Ancestor."

  Apart from Qin Xuan and Qin Wei, the rest of them all bowed their heads and shouted, Qin Xuan was because after this matter, his good feelings towards Lao Zu had decreased, as for Qin Wei, she simply didn't know what it meant to respect the elderly and love the young.

  He nodded slightly, and Qin's old ancestor also disapproved of the attitude of these two little guys. He immediately looked at the young man and asked, "Which power is the opponent from?"

  Shaking his head, Qin Xuan replied, "Only know it's a big sect."

  "Is it the Great Sect?" He nodded, and Laozu fell into deep thought. Qin Yun Tian and others were shocked in their hearts, unable to understand why the young man would provoke the existence of the Great Sect.

  A long time.

  Lao Zu Meng suddenly lifted his head, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, like the dazzling light of a dark night, making it impossible for people to look directly at him. "Yun Tian, from now on, the four manors will be merged into one, and you will have full authority to preside over them. I will make arrangements for the others."

  An unknown disaster may also be an opportunity for the Qin family to rise, and the old ancestor of the Qin family has his own ambition.

  "Yes!"

  The old ancestor spoke, and Qin Yun Tian didn't think much more about it, nodding in response, but his heart was heavy.

  "Don't worry, I've traveled the continent for many years and have met many powerful sects. With my old face, I should be able to get some respect." Qin's ancestor smiled, and everyone relaxed, then looked at the young man with a hint of satisfaction on their faces. "Not bad, already in the early stages of the Qi Sea realm."

  "Uh-huh."

  He responded faintly, but Qin Xuan didn't relax because of the old ancestor's words. Qin Yun Tian and others might not know what kind of power that mysterious sect had, but he could easily guess it out. A soul clone already possessed strength greater than the old ancestor of the Qin family, so would their sect's strength be weak? Was it just those strong sect members in the old ancestor's mouth who could resist?

  The old ancestor did not know what the young man was thinking, but he didn't mind either, and thought it was because of the Flame Mountain Range that annoyed him.

  With different thoughts in mind, the crowd was about to leave when a gentle and familiar voice came, "Huh? I seem to have arrived late. Unifying the four departments? Has it been approved by our department?"

  Their faces changed, and everyone looked at each other, then suddenly rushed out with a whooshing sound, their speed was like lightning. Qin's old ancestor was the fastest, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived outside.

  He looked up and saw that Qin Long was standing in front of everyone, wearing a brocade robe, with his hands behind his back, his expression calm, and a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. Beside him stood two mysterious figures draped in black robes, their gender indistinguishable, but from the aura emanating from them, it was clear that these two were extremely formidable!

  When he saw the old ancestor of the Qin family, Qin Long did not show the due respect as before, but instead changed his usual demeanor and brought a hint of disdain, "So the old ancestor is here too."

  Upon seeing the black-clad youth following closely behind, he couldn't help but let out a sigh. "It seems Qin Yi and those useless old men from the Council have failed once again."

  "I knew it!"

  Qin Xuan's face changed slightly, and the bad premonition in his heart finally came true.

  Lao Zu heard this and became angry in his heart, sternly shouting, "Qin Long, do you know what you're saying? Must my decisions be subject to your approval?"

  "Haha......" He shrugged his shoulders, Qin Long smiled and said, "Old ancestor has a big tone, this mansion naturally knows what it's saying, besides, this mansion doesn't need you old fellow to teach."

  "Shut up! Second Brother, don't you hurry and apologize to Old Ancestor!" Qin Yun Tian also shouted loudly at this time, with a sense of urgency in his heart.

  "Tsk tsk tsk."

  With a hint of sarcasm, Qin Long said in a mysterious tone, "Qin Yun Tian, you really think you're a character? Shut up? Hahaha..."

  "You're really going to rebel, aren't you?!" The old ancestor's face turned gloomy.

  "What's wrong?" Qin Long's laughter stopped abruptly, his face fell, and his eyes shot out resentful glows, filling the air with resentment. Everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

  "That's right! After Qin Xuan killed my son Jiang Wei, I should have rebelled!" Qin Long's voice was full of resentment, as if coming from the depths of hell. "And you, old man, the ancestor of the Qin family? Haha... Jiang Wei is dead, do you know how painful it is for me? He was my only child! But you said his death was justified! That he wasn't strong enough!"

  Qin Long sometimes laughed, sometimes cried and wept, sometimes became furious again, as if he was mad, then shouted, "Since we are worthless in your eyes, I will make you, the whole Qin family, bury with my son Jiang Wei!"

  "Preposterous!"

  With a loud roar, Lao Zu's face turned bright red, clearly enraged, his chest heaving violently as he charged out at incredible speed, exuding an overwhelming aura that preceded him, and then slapped Qin Long's chest with a palm.

  An ordinary palm, however, caused the space to tremble slightly, and rocks and stones flew away. The onlookers' eyelids twitched wildly as they watched, and there was no doubt that this single palm would be enough to pierce through Qin Long's chest!

  "Hum! Qin Shiyang, you old rascal, after all these years, your temper is still so explosive."

  Just then, a loud shout came from the front, the sound was thunderous, like thunder, shaking one's ears and making them deaf. Immediately afterwards, a similarly turbulent aura burst forth from a mysterious black-robed figure on Qin Long's left side. Endless dark energy swirled around his body, displaying a deep purple color that seemed extremely eerie. Moreover, there was a faint scent of blood wafting through the air.

  Qin Xuan and the others felt a chill in their hearts, all sensing a breath of death approaching. The old ancestor of the Qin family heard this voice and his face changed greatly, secretly thinking that something was wrong, because he was too familiar with this voice!
