Chapter Fourteen Ambush, Decision
As for being deeply "sold out" by Qin's old ancestor, Qin Xuan was unaware of it. He furrowed his brow and asked, "About how many people?"
"Three of them are at the 9th level of Body Refining, five are at the 8th level, and two are at the 7th level!"
Garen has a very accurate grasp of his breath.
How much?
Qin Xuan raised an eyebrow, he was just a small-time Body Refining Sixth-Order cultivator, who would take him seriously? Yet, they had sent so many powerful experts to deal with him.
"When the Ninefold Refining of the Body is complete, there will be three people."
Jiuzhong's physical refinement is equivalent to that of an elder or even a clan leader in some small families, and it would be considered mid-to-high level even in a large family like the Qin family.
"Could it be someone from the Peng family?" Qin Xuan's eyes revealed a hint of contemplation as he muttered to himself, The Qin and Peng families had never gotten along, especially in recent years, with an undercurrent of tension that seemed to be heading towards an open confrontation. If it really was someone from the Peng family, then it would make sense.
However, this time his whereabouts were quite hidden, except for Lao Zu, even his own father did not know, let alone the people of Peng's family.
"It's also possible that he is a warrior who has been tempered through traveling abroad."
Shaking his head, Qin Xuan really couldn't understand and was too lazy to think about it. He suddenly pointed his toes and was about to leave for a distant place. Although his strength had improved significantly, he still wasn't arrogant enough to face such a powerful 'lineup'.
"It's too late to run now, it seems they're after you, Master."
Garen's figure suddenly disappeared and returned to the "Heroic Spirit Scripture", immediately after, a loud laughter echoed from afar, the sound was thunderous, like thunder, shaking the surrounding green leaves to fall.
"Haha...... Qin Xuan, where are you in such a hurry to go?"
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
With a series of loud noises, four people suddenly blocked Qin Xuan's departure. All four had thick breaths and unpleasant expressions, with the leader having a hint of mockery on his face.
"It's you!" Looking at the leader, Qin Xuan was stunned. He didn't expect that this time, the ones who ambushed him were not from the Peng family, nor were they anyone else, but rather from the Qin family, which was his own family!
Qin Wu, the son of the Grand Elder of the Western Palace, a strong man with a refined body in nine layers, whose strength was second only to Qin Jiangwei at that time. He had always been suppressed, but after Qin Jiangwei was killed by Qin Xuan, his status also rose with the tide.
The three people behind Qin Wushen also came from Xifeng and all had the strength of Tempering the Body Eightfold!
"It's really a big loss, is it that old Qin Long who let you guys come and avenge that Qin Jiangwei?"
Qin Xuan said calmly, his face not panicked or busy, but his feet slightly retreated a few steps. According to Galen's words, there were ten people in this ambush, and only four had appeared so far, which means that six more were yet to appear.
"Take revenge for Qin Jiangwei?" The first one, Qin Wu, was taken aback, and then it seemed like he had heard the most ridiculous joke, and the three people behind him burst out laughing, "Haha... Qin Xuan, should I say you're naive or stupid?"
"Qin Jiangwei's death only proves he was a fool!" Qin Wugou shrugged, his eyes narrowing slightly, the cold glint in them flashing and disappearing quickly, the corners of his mouth curling up. "Actually, I should thank you, if it wasn't for you killing that useless thing, I wouldn't have become the number one person in the Western Manor."
When it comes to "waste", Qin Wu's tone became heavier, but he forgot that with strength inferior to Qin Jiangwei, what was he.
"I think it's not just Qin Jiangwei, I'm afraid your entire Western Palace is a waste!"
At this time, as if a loud explosion sounded from the edge of the sky, not only Qin Xuan, but also Qin Wu and others beside him changed color slightly. Especially Qin Wu and others, their faces suddenly became extremely ugly.
As the sound faded away, only a few figures could be seen walking slowly from afar, each with a robust and condensed aura. Especially the young man in green clothes at the front, with a feather fan and a kerchief, looked weak and feeble, but his aura was the most terrifying among all the people present!
"The Young Master of Nanfu, Qin Fei Yuan!"
Qin Wu's pupils suddenly contracted, the Xuan Qi in his body slightly stirred, and his eyes were filled with vigilance. The three men behind him also became cautious.
"Exactly ten."
Compared to Qin Wu's caution, Qin Xuan seemed much calmer, with information about Qin Feiyang flashing through his mind in an instant.
Nanfu Prefecture Master Qin Ming's youngest son, only seventeen years old, similar to Qin Xuan, but his cultivation realm is much stronger than Qin Xuan. He has now reached the peak of the ninth level of body refinement and is only one step away from breaking through to reach the Qihai Mirror.
Compared with Qin Jiangwei at the beginning, it is much stronger!
"Huh? It seems you've already discovered our existence." Seeing Qin Xuan, he didn't have any expression due to their appearance, but Qin Fei Yan looked somewhat surprised, and then nodded in approval, "Indeed much stronger than these trash, no wonder you're the one who got that precious treasure from Old Ancestor."
The words had just fallen, and before Qin Xuan could speak, the people from the Western Manor, led by Qin Wu, suddenly erupted in anger. Qin Wu's face turned iron-green, his body's vital energy surging violently as he unleashed the power of the Ninefold Heaven, causing his robes to flutter wildly.
"Qin Feiyuan, don't think that just because you're the young master of Nanfu, you can speak recklessly and without restraint! Everyone knows why you've come here, but if you dare to be insolent, my Western Manor is not one to be trifled with!"
"If I'm not mistaken, you should be Qin Wu, right?" He couldn't help but sneer, and regarding Qin Wu's threat, Qin Fei looked at him with disdain, his eyes even carrying a hint of contempt. "In the past when Qin Jiangwei was around, you were nothing but a dog. Now that your master is dead, in my eyes, you're still just a dog."
"You don't have the right to speak!"
What is arrogance? This is it!
Before, Qin Xuan thought he was arrogant and proud enough, but now compared to Qin Fei, the difference is simply too great!
This is the powerful capital!
"Are you looking for trouble!"
With a loud roar, Qin Wu finally couldn't bear it anymore, his eyes turned red, and he rushed out like a madman. Although Qin Fei Yan's words were harsh, they also happened to hit the sore spot in his heart.
The other three men in Xifu thought of intercepting him at this time, but it was already too late.
Hmph.
The physical collision produced a huge roar, and Qin Wu's entire body flew backward, his speed more than double what it was before, like a cannonball, smashing into a large tree with a trunk as thick as three men could hug, snapping it in two.
In front of Qin Feiyang, a tall figure had already appeared, with a cold expression and bulging muscles all over his body, looking explosive. He was still in the same posture as when he threw the punch earlier, and the Xuan Qi inside him was rumbling loudly. Obviously, it was this man who had sent Qin Wujin flying with one punch.
"Jack-in-the-box."
With a disdainful snort, Qin Fei never shifted his attention to the knocked-out Qin Wu from start to finish.
Qin Xuan on the side was also secretly shocked.
The tall man beside Qin Feiyuan was probably no weaker than Qin Jiangwei before, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to easily blast away Qin Wu, who was also at the ninth level of Body Refining. Plus there was Qin Feiyuan himself, as well as the two eighth-level and two seventh-level Body Refiners behind him...
Qin Xuan found out that if he wanted to rely on himself alone, it wasn't a question of whether he could win or not, but whether he could escape or not.
"Qin Xuan, hand over the treasure, otherwise, die!"
At this time, Qin Feiyuan's gaze fell on the black-clothed youth once again, his tone icy cold and unreservedly revealing the murderous intent in his heart. His aura tightly locked onto the youth, not fearing that he would escape in the slightest.
Upon hearing this, Qin Xuan's pupils involuntarily contracted slightly. He first sighed and lamented that a big family like theirs lacked familial affection. Then, he finally confirmed that his whereabouts and the news about obtaining the heavy treasure must have been leaked by the old ancestor of the Qin family.
As for why the old ancestor of the Qin family would do this, Qin Xuan could also understand. After all, the old ancestor had invested so much in him, and if he couldn't show the expected potential, then the old ancestor of the Qin family wouldn't continue to cultivate him in vain.
And this time, it's obviously a test from Lao Zu!
"Is it a test?"
With a bitter smile at the corner of his mouth, he looked at Qin Fei Yan who was walking ahead with confidence, and behind him, Qin Wu who was being helped up by the crowd with a fierce gaze. A sense of helplessness rose in Qin Xuan's heart.
This trial seems a bit too big, doesn't it? If I could break through to the Seventh Layer of Body Refining, that would be fine, but now I'm still stuck at the Sixth Layer. Relying on my current strength as a Sixth Layer cultivator, plus Galen's Ninth Layer...
Hit? Qin Xuan's brain hasn't gone bad yet.
As for the current situation, it's estimated that even Qin family's old ancestor didn't expect that after so many days have passed, Qin Xuan should have reached at least eight levels of body refinement with the assistance of 'Lihuo Zhong', which is why he was able to let him go without even seeing him.
Never thought that a heavy treasure would actually attract the attention of so many geniuses among the younger generation of the Qin family, and also nearly put Qin Xuan in a desperate situation.
There's a wolf in front and a tiger behind!
Qin Xuan finally experienced this feeling for real.
But let him hand over the precious 'Lihuo Bell', this is impossible!
Let him wait for death obediently, this is also impossible!
"Three of them are at the ninth level of Body Refining, and one is stronger than the other!" With a sigh, Qin Xuan shook his head, "It seems that's all we can do for now."
It seemed like he had made some important decision, and his heart stirred slightly.
"Galien, communicating with 'Heroic Spirit', isn't it trying to get away from the fire bell? Just say I agreed!"
