Lei Zhongyu stopped speaking; speaking further would only bring him more humiliation!
Qin Chu cupped his fists to the surroundings, "I, Qin Chu, am an Alchemist. Since coming to Heavenly Sword City, I haven't actively gotten into conflict with anyone. My life consists of Cultivating and, in my leisure time, refining Alchemy for everyone. However, there's an undeniable fact: I am a Sword Cultivator, possessing the blood and backbone of a Sword Cultivator. Anyone who bullies me, I will fight to the death."
After stating his position, Qin Chu stepped down from the arena, gave Lei Zhongyu a look of disdain, and then left.
After Qin Chu left, the man in blue also disappeared into the crowd. He came out to help Qin Chu out of a predicament and did not wish to be exposed in public.
Qin Chu had left, but the onlookers were still discussing. After this battle, everyone realized that Qin Chu was not only excellent in Alchemy but also incredibly powerful in combat. A Core Member of the Yanlei Holy Family was simply slit at the throat by Qin Chu, with virtually no ability to resist. Their combat power was not on the same level.
Various factions also received the news.
After hearing the report, Lin Hanyue pondered for a while. He felt things were a bit troublesome. He could foresee that the Yanlei Holy Family would definitely not let it go. Without dealing with Qin Chu, they would not be able to regain their Face.
In a short period, Qin Chu had offended both the White Tiger Holy Family and the Yanlei Holy Family. This gave Lin Hanyue a headache. The Holy Martial Sect was strong, but only relatively so; there was still a gap between them and the White Tiger Holy Family and Yanlei Holy Family. If the White Tiger Holy Family and Yanlei Holy Family came hard, the Heavenly Sword City Lord's Mansion under his command would not be able to stop them. Furthermore, he also had concerns; Qin Chu was not a member of the Holy Martial Sect, so even if he wanted to protect Qin Chu, there was a limit.
After thinking for a while, Lin Hanyue called his son, Lin Qing, "Qing'er, later tonight, please invite Qin Chu to our home."
Lin Qing nodded. He also knew about Qin Chu killing a Core Member of the Yanlei Holy Family and understood that the situation was quite serious.
Inside the Demon Castle, Elder Lu, wearing a golden cloak, also received the news, reported by Law Enforcement Officer Guan.
"Sir, Qin Chu is actually not a fourth-level Sword Intent. A few days ago, our people were Cultivating on Heavenly Sword Mountain and discovered that he Broke through to a fifth-level Sword Intent in a place where no one was paying attention. He did not display his true strength in this battle," Law Enforcement Officer Guan said.
"A very interesting young man. If he's a talent, we must strive for him. Have his past been thoroughly investigated?" Elder Lu, the man in the golden cloak, asked.
"No! We only investigated that he entered the Azure Cloud Sect at the age of fifteen, and before that, it's a blank. According to the information our people investigated in the Azure Cloud Sect, he is an orphan, adopted by someone. He joined the Azure Cloud Sect at fifteen, and from having no cultivation to his current Fourth-Order Spirit Yuan Realm seventh level, he took less than three years. When he was in the Azure Cloud Sect, he was a Utility Disciple, but as a Utility Disciple, he defeated Outer Sect Disciples, Inner Sect Disciples, and Core Disciples, all of whom were fighting above their level and rank," Law Enforcement Officer Guan said.
"He was already fighting above his level and rank in the past, which indicates that in the battle just now, he indeed only showed a part of his strength. We must protect this person and support him when needed!" Elder Lu, the man in the golden cloak, made his decision.
Qin Chu walked around the street for a while, and feeling a stir in his heart, he came to the inn where Shang Shuyu was staying.
Seeing Qin Chu arrive, Shang Shuyu was very happy.
"You have time to see Senior Sister now!" Shang Shuyu poured Qin Chu a cup of tea.
"I missed Senior Sister a bit, so I came over," Qin Chu nodded.
At this moment, Shang Shuyu's nose twitched, "Why do you smell of blood? Are you injured?"
"Not injured! It's someone else's. I just encountered someone looking for trouble, who challenged me to a death match, and I didn't hold back, so I killed him," Qin Chu said.
"You must be careful. Heavenly Sword City is so chaotic now. One careless move and you could provoke a major Family. Those guys value Face immensely, and if you offend them, they won't let it go," Shang Shuyu's beautiful eyes were filled with worry.
"I've thought about some things. Thank you for your concern, Senior Sister. I'm very happy that Senior Sister is in Heavenly Sword City. When my heart is tired, I have a place to sit, drink tea, and relax while talking," Qin Chu said, taking a sip of tea.
Shang Shuyu didn't say anything. She could feel Qin Chu's difficulties. The Vermilion Bird Holy Family was schemed against by the White Tiger Holy Family and the Yanlei Holy Family, and Qin Chu's parents' whereabouts were unknown. This was a blood feud that Qin Chu would definitely not let go of, and currently, Qin Chu did not have the strength to take revenge, so his heart must be very suppressed.
"Senior Sister, you also need to be careful, don't let the Family catch you back. If that happens, it will be difficult for me to see you again," Qin Chu said, looking at the silent Shang Shuyu.
"Don't worry, I will definitely not let the Family's people catch me back!" Shang Shuyu said.
"You should manage yourself! How long has it been, and you've already offended the White Tiger Holy Family and the Yanlei Holy Family. Is there no Family you dare not offend?" Grandma Yu appeared.
Qin Chu stood up, looking at Grandma Yu with vigilance.
"Junior Brother, don't be nervous. This is Grandma Yu. Besides my parents, Grandma Yu is the person who cares about me the most," Shang Shuyu shook her head at Qin Chu and then introduced her.
Qin Chu cupped his fists to Grandma Yu, "Qin Chu greets Senior."
"Hmm, not bad!" Grandma Yu said after sizing up Qin Chu.
"Junior Brother, this time we enter Heavenly Sword Mountain, we will Face many obstacles. Not to mention the battles inside, when we come out, I will have to Face the Family's difficulties; you will have to Face attacks from the White Tiger Holy Family and the Yanlei Holy Family. So I asked Grandma Yu to take us both and run. If we run, any of their schemes will be useless," Shang Shuyu said to Qin Chu.
"Thank you, Senior Sister. Thank you, Grandma Yu. But you don't have to worry about me. I have some escape routes. If they want to scheme against me, I'll fight them to the end," Qin Chu shook his head.
"What will you use to fight them to the end?" Grandma Yu reached out and tapped Qin Chu on the head.
"Don't worry, Senior Sister. Don't worry, Grandma. I have some backup plans. If I really can't escape, then Grandma can help me," Qin Chu said with a smile.
Shang Shuyu wanted to say more, but Grandma Yu shook her head, not letting Shang Shuyu continue.
After sitting for a while, Qin Chu left. He came just to see Shang Shuyu, feeling a bit worried about her.
"Grandma, this won't do. Qin Chu, this hothead, will get himself killed," Shang Shuyu looked at Grandma Yu anxiously.
"Never underestimate Qin Chu. This guy definitely has backup plans. Do we know if he has any involvement with the Alchemist Guild or the Demon Castle? Not to mention those two, the City Lord's Mansion is extremely protective of him," Grandma Yu said. She had just gone out to gather information.
