Chapter 469: 467. The Power of Hurricane Skill (Part 2) Now let’s talk about Qin Chuan.
Honestly, is Qin Chuan anxious?
He is anxious!
The hidden sect tied to Qin Mo was suffocating him, fearing even minor accidents, which could ruin all his years of planning. He had invested immense efforts and cost to ally with the other two families to overthrow the main family, and failing would mean total disaster. Furthermore, in the past two days, Qin Lan and Qin Soul had been relentlessly complaining and arguing, making him even more nervous.
"Clan Leader, the Ancestor has returned!"
This sentence from outside finally relieved the eyebrows he had furrowed for several days.
Creaaaaak!
Pulling the door open, Qin Chuan hurried out of the courtyard.
The messenger guard added, "Clan Leader, Qin Lan and Qin Soul, both clan leaders, are also here, waiting for you in the hall."
"As expected, they are very concerned about any slight disturbance regarding me now. Qin Ru’an Ancestor’s return; it would be strange if they didn’t come." Qin Chuan muttered to himself as he briskly walked through the hallway.
The hallway distance to the central hall wasn’t far, usually taking just a little over half an incense stick’s time.
But today, Qin Chuan felt it was particularly long.
Upon reaching outside the central hall, dozens of people had already gathered inside, tall, short, fat, thin, elderly, and young—they were all high-ranking members of the three branch families.
Qin Ru’an, sitting calmly like water at the head, squinted his eyes, watching people below discussing busily, seemingly waiting for Qin Chuan to arrive while observing outward.
"Ancestor!"
Qin Chuan directly swept past everyone’s gaze and slightly bowed before Qin Ru’an.
Qin Ru’an replied, "No need to be so formal, sit down. The information you asked me to gather is clear. I personally went to Huangli City to question that young Murong Qing, so there shouldn’t be any falsehood."
But before Qin Chuan could continue speaking, voices of admiration sounded from behind.
"Ancestor so mighty!"
"Ancestor, you’re too domineering!"
Voices of praise kept coming, but they weren’t flattery, for everyone had pride on their faces.
How many could directly go to Murong Qing in East Lake and inquire about the news?
But their Qin Family could!
In a few sentences, the suppressed mindset of everyone over the past few days was instantly swept away.
"Silence." Qin Chuan coldly swept his gaze over the crowd, curbing their excitement, "Ancestor, too many people here, let’s discuss in the back courtyard."
Despite them being high-ranking branch members, he couldn’t guarantee there weren’t spies.
However, Qin Ru’an shook his head, "No worries, this matter can be discussed or spread freely. The main family mistakenly believes they found a backer? Perfect to expose their backer’s true colors before them."
"Then follow Ancestor’s lead," Qin Chuan nodded.
"Do you still remember the Immortal Sect that rose to fame during the Ten Talents Trial?"
"Yes, are you saying..."
"Qin Chuan, you’re right, the hidden sect is the Immortal Sect." Qin Ru’an smiled and nodded, then glanced at everyone.
Murong Qing informed him, Immortal Sect used to be a common Two-star power, but now it has a Skeleton Guardian capable of killing half-step Divine Profound, and Han Yun from the Hundred Sects Alliance was slain by it.
As for other aspects, they’re not noteworthy.
"You’ve been on the island for a long time and don’t understand the Immortal Sect, but just know it’s a force that throbs Extreme Realm Mountain, Huangli City’s Hundred Sects Alliance—dependent on external artifacts, their Sect Leader merely recently turned 18 years old. What they achieved, our Flying Fish Island’s Qin Family can achieve too, so no need to fear them, and I doubt they’d be foolish enough to risk lives over a disciple against us."
With these words, Qin Chuan smiled relievedly.
Qin Lan exhaled a long breath, seemingly releasing all his recent frustrations.
Qin Soul laughed heartily towards the sky.
The differing reactions of the three confused everyone, just as they contemplated asking, Qin Chuan spoke, "Everyone, the time to end this conflict is here—the main family’s end is upon us! No guarding or retreating, all charge forward for the Ancestor!"
These days, they’d been retreating, accumulating anger.
Qin Chuan’s last words brightened everyone’s eyes!
They longed to charge ahead.
But Qin Chuan, Qin Soul, Qin Lan continuously commanded retreat, leaving them no choice.
"Yes!"
"Charge!"
Dozens shouted in unison.
...
At Flying Fish Island’s center.
Seeing the battle stabilizing, Zhantian Qingxuan had thoughts of leaving, not in the mood to play chess or chat with Qin Tian. She listed the materials she planned to buy at Huangli City, contemplating departing tomorrow morning.
Reflecting now, she found this trip rather unnecessary.
Without doing much, things were resolving.
