“Full-scale war with the Zhao Family? Are you even worthy?”
Qin Yuan sneered, not putting the Zhao Family steward in his eyes at all.
A mere Zhao Family steward had the right to talk about starting a war?
“You!”
Being so humiliated by Qin Yuan, the Middle-aged Man was furious.
“Kill!”
At Qin Yuan’s command, everyone immediately began to act.
“Go!”
Yuan Hao, seeing that he was no match, turned and was about to leave.
The Zhao Family steward also followed, about to flee.
His cultivation was also at the Earth Profound Realm, and he was no match for so many Qin Family Elders.
“Kid, do you dare to fight me? You and I will duel, let’s see who wins!”
At this point, this person still wanted to struggle, wanting to drag Qin Xuan into trouble.
He already understood that since the Qin Family dared to act, they would certainly not let them go.
Since the Qin Family was not giving him a way out, he would try his best to drag Qin Xuan down with him.
“Hmph!”
“How dare you!”
A Qin Family Elder sneered from the side.
Qin Xuan was the Young Clan Leader of the Qin Family, how could he put himself in danger?
“Are you scared!”
The Middle-aged Man stared fiercely at Qin Xuan, wishing he could tear Qin Xuan into ten thousand pieces!
But Qin Xuan just chuckled and shook his head disdainfully.
He was not afraid of battle, but he would not seek trouble for no reason.
Since this person was already as good as dead, he naturally had no need to step forward.
If he accepted every challenge from a mere Zhao Family steward, wouldn't any random nobody be able to challenge him in the future?
Taking a deep breath, Qin Xuan waved his hand coldly.
“Kill them all, leave no one alive!”
Hearing Qin Xuan’s order, the steward’s face immediately showed despair.
He never expected that Qin Xuan wouldn’t even give him the last bit of a chance.
“The Yuan Royal Family will not let you off!”
Under siege, Yuan Hao was already injured and on his last breath.
“Is that so!”
Qin Xuan instantly stepped forward, raising his hand to quickly absorb Yuan Hao’s Spiritual Qi.
Since mastering the Primordial Divinity Refining Art, he could now directly use the Refining God Cauldron to extract the Spiritual Qi of these people.
After devouring Yuan Hao’s Mental Energy and Spiritual Qi, Qin Xuan directly slew the opponent with a single sword strike.
“Young Clan Leader, what should we do next?”
The Elder asked.
Qin Xuan snorted coldly, pointing to the Spirit Beast beside him.
“Let the Spirit Beast eat them. Our people should stay away and lure in people from other Families. This way, no one can link it back to the Qin Family!”
From the very beginning, Qin Xuan had prepared to let the Li Family take the blame.
That’s why he controlled these Spirit Beasts to come.
Under Qin Xuan’s control, these Spirit Beasts quickly devoured Yuan Hao and the others.
“Go, next is to lure in the other Families!”
Qin Xuan abandoned Li Miao’s corpse, then led the Qin Family away from here.
After leaving, Qin Xuan deliberately created some commotion and then left.
A moment later, several Families nearby who heard the commotion rushed over and then saw this bloody scene.
“The Li Family actually killed the City Lord!”
The news spread, shaking the entire Fire Wind City!
Subsequently, all the Families in Fire Wind City rushed to the City Lord’s Mansion.
Qin Xuan, feigning innocence, also rushed over with the Qin Family Elder, then he indignantly declared that he wanted to avenge the City Lord.
“Young Clan Leader, there’s still a loophole in this matter.”
After leaving the City Lord’s Mansion, a Qin Family Elder said to Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan understood.
“Are you saying that these Spirit Beasts alone couldn’t defeat Yuan Hao?”
The combat power of a Tier 2 Spirit Beast might be good, but it wasn’t enough to injure Yuan Hao.
This was indeed a flaw.
“Yes, but if the investigation team from the capital comes to investigate us because of this, how should we respond?”
Qin Xuan shook his head slightly.
“No need to respond. As the saying goes, ‘catch the thief with the loot, catch the adulterer in the act.’ As long as there is no direct evidence, they can only suspect.”
The Qin Family was the largest Family in Fire Wind City. Even if they were from the capital, they couldn’t casually accuse the Qin Family.
“What’s more, so many people testified for us today, and we didn’t expose our identities when we acted.”
Hearing this, several Qin Family Elders nodded.
At this moment, the various Families were also flustered by this situation.
Of the Four Great Families of Fire Wind City, only the Qin Family and the Sima Family remained.
Other smaller Families dared not say much in front of these two Families.
“Detain these Spirit Beasts, and deal with them when the investigation team from the capital arrives.”
Sima Rui said.
It was clear that they also understood that if these Spirit Beasts escaped, their Sima Family would not be able to explain themselves.
Under such circumstances, they naturally had to detain these Spirit Beasts as much as possible.
Immediately, Sima Rui turned his gaze towards the Qin Family.
“Lest some people fish in troubled waters.”
It was clear that the Sima Family also suspected the Qin Family.
However, the presence of so many Spirit Beasts allowed them to pin everything on the Qin Family.
After all, only the Li Family was skilled in beast taming.
“Indeed, we should be careful not to let some people fish in troubled waters.”
Qin Xuan also said lightly, looking harmless.
After dealing with the matters at the City Lord’s Mansion, Qin Xuan left and returned home.
“Although Yuan Hao is only a distant relative of the Yuan Royal Family, they are still members of the Yuan Royal Family, and he was the City Lord, so the capital will probably take this seriously.”
“Therefore, some things still need to be done in advance, just in case.”
Qin Xuan said, then had the Family prepare some Spirit Stones. He wanted to use these Spirit Stones to set up a Formation.
If the investigation team really found something, he had to protect the Qin Family.
After all, if things turned ugly, he had to protect the Qin Family.
…
Qin Xuan originally thought that the investigation team would take some time to arrive at Fire Wind City.
But what he didn’t expect was that just three days later, the investigation team from the Yuan Royal Family and several major Families from the capital had already appeared in Fire Wind City.
“You said, there’s a Qin Family member in this investigation team?”
Qin Yuan frowned, his face looking grim.
“Yes, the Yuan Royal Family and the Jiang, Qin, Zhou, and Shi, Four Great Families are here this time. It can be said that this matter has indeed escalated.”
Hearing this, Qin Xuan clenched his fists slightly.
The Qin Family dared to come here!
They forced the main Family here back then, and now they still dare to come!
This made Qin Xuan very angry.
But then he took a deep breath and looked calmly at the Qin Family steward.
“No matter, if they come, they come. It’s nothing.”
When soldiers come, generals will block; when water comes, earth will cover.
Upon arriving in Fire Wind City, the investigation team went directly to the City Lord’s Mansion.
The Qin Family had done a very clean job that day; all the people in the City Lord’s Mansion had been eliminated.
“How is it? Brother Yuan Zhen, can you sense anything?”
At the City Lord’s Mansion, a member of the Yuan Royal Family, Yuan Zhen, was standing beside the Spirit Beast, sensing something.
Beside him, a Middle-aged Man asked.
After a while, Yuan Zhen nodded slightly.
“These people didn’t lie, it was indeed these Spirit Beasts that ate Yuan Hao. These beasts, they should be killed!”
Yuan Zhen looked coldly at the Spirit Beast in front of him.
Hearing this, the person next to him nodded slightly.
“I’ve checked, in this Fire Wind City, the Li Family is indeed the most skilled in beast taming. If so many Spirit Beasts attacked simultaneously by surprise, it is indeed possible to succeed in one blow…”
Before the man finished speaking, another Elder nearby immediately sneered.
“Sneak attack? What a joke! I’ve also checked the Li Family. The cultivation of the Family Clan Chief is only at Earth Profound Realm Stage Nine, and there is no Tianxuan Realm existence.”
“With such cultivation, can they succeed with a sneak attack?”
“In my opinion, it must be the work of other Families in the city, and the Qin Family is the most likely!”
The Elder’s gaze was fierce.
Hearing this, the other people nearby immediately laughed.
“Qin Yan, although I know you find this Qin Family branch an eyesore, they were once the main Qin Family. You have already seized the Qin Family Chief position, won’t you give the branch Family a way to live?”
