Chapter 35: Sunflowers Bloom, the Royalty, All Must Die

Qin Family has three guard units.

This time going out, Qin Feng directly took two 【units】; the remaining one is Zhao Hu leading the guard of Qin Mansion.

Soon after they left, seven or eight people from the Black Dragon Guard Office arrived, fully equipped and imposing. Their strength is average; the strongest is only at fourth-rank cultivation.

Qin Mansion provided tables, chairs, food and drink; they sat in front of the gate eating and drinking.

On the way.

"Spending three thousand taels of silver just to invite a few people over—is it useful?" Zhang Fu whispered, "It's daytime; probably no one would dare cause trouble."

"Better safe than sorry; inviting them also puts us at ease." Qin Feng smiled.

This is the Black Dragon Guard he proposed to hire.

He directly took out three thousand taels of silver and conducted intimidation in front of the mansion gate.

The Black Dragon Guard is special, powerful, and terrifying; at least it can make family strongmen dare not move.

Old Qin Village is not far.

Leaving the city it's only over ten li; soon we arrived, here everything is ready, and all the villagers came out to greet.

"Master!" an old man with a walking stick and white hair stepped forward, very enthusiastic.

"Village Grandfather." Qin Feng quickly walked over, "Again troubling you!"

"We are all Qin family; what should be done is to rest first or go straight to the ancestral hall?"

"First go to the ancestral hall, then to the ancestor graves!"

Qin Feng set the tone.

South of Old Qin Village about five li there is a small mound where the Qin Family's ancestral graves lie; Old Qin Village is the origin of the Qin Family, and they have always guarded here.

Because they rely on Qin Mansion, their living conditions are not bad.

Walking on the road, Qin Feng sensed three familiar auras, turned his head and saw three people staying in a courtyard—exactly the three elders.

Their expressions were not good.

He ignored them.

The ancestral hall is in the village center, built grandly.

Qin Feng led the way inside; on the offering table were many spirit tablets, and he saw his parents'.

Ahead is a cauldron with three legs and two ears, full of ash and with many incense sticks inserted.

Following instructions, after many procedures, he finally took the incense Zhang Fu handed over, lit it, bowed, then placed it in the incense cauldron.

Qin Feng's expression was somewhat complex.

Lowering his head, he watched the incense in the great cauldron flicker, and his heart stirred slightly.

"Grandfather Fu, you bring people to guard outside; I and Village Grandfather will talk privately." Qin Feng turned and said.

"Yes!" Zhang Fu replied, then led the people out.

After they had gone far, Qin Feng then said: "Village Grandfather, I have taken the position of family head—are there many who are dissatisfied?"

"You are the main house's sole bloodline; that position only you can take. Some gossip is normal, after all you're too young, worried you won't handle things well and fear the future." The old village chief said, "Rest assured, we all support you; as for those three branches? Hum, they're no good. Now the Qin Family is in a weak state— not being united is already bad, yet they still play tricks, not filial."

"Your words put my mind at ease; how is life in the village?"

"Family head, rest assured, all is well!"

"When you live well, I can rest assured. If there is any difficulty, come tell me right away."

"You are a good child, and you have suffered!"

"Nothing bitter, there's food and drink." Qin Feng smiled, "Since I can remember, every year I have come with my father to worship the ancestors; in a blink it's been over ten years—time really flies."

"Yeah, it's fast; I can barely walk."

"May you live a hundred years. Village Grandfather, is this cauldron left here by my father?"

"It's your grandfather! Originally there was a stone furnace; later it cracked, your grandfather brought a cauldron and placed it here. In a blink, it's been decades." The old village chief hesitated, then lowered his voice: "There's something I don't know if you know—this is a secret only the village chief and family head of our Old Qin Village are qualified to know; we were originally royalty."

"Royalty?" Qin Feng exclaimed, then pointed upward, "Current royalty?"

"Mhm!" The old village chief gave a bitter smile, "This is a secret passed down; as for why it declined to this extent, I don't know. However your grandfather should know, or perhaps he told your father—alas. Perhaps the Clan Office has records."

Qin Feng frowned.

Even if it declined further, wouldn't it become commoner status? Has Old Qin Village become ancestral land?

Definitely not the ancestral land of royalty! Strange!

Qin Feng suppressed the thought; these have nothing to do with him. After chatting a few more sentences, the two went out. Outside, many people stood.

The old and young of the village also came.

He glanced, then walked to a girl holding a tray and smilingly asked, "What's your name?"

"Master Sir, I am called Red Plum!" The girl lowered her head; her voice was also low.

"Red Plum? A lovely name. Red Plum like snow stained blood—what a pity!" Qin Feng said, then suddenly moved.

One palm struck the opponent's body; true qi surged into their body, shattering the meridians and destroying the dantian qi sea, and the person was flung out.

Immediately Qin Feng displayed the Wandering Wind Step, leaving afterimages; another two were flung out, and their cultivation was abolished at the same time.

Another one, he pierced the brow with a finger.

His move was too fast.

So fast that people couldn't react.

"Master!" Zhang Fu showed a cold expression and suddenly said, "Are they impostors?"

Then the villagers exclaimed.

"Silence!" Qin Feng shouted loudly, suppressing the commotion, then said, "They are impostors! Qin Kai, check whether their faces are makeup or glued-on skin masks."

"Yes!"

Qin Kai acted quickly and soon concluded: "Master, the three used masks to impersonate and are still alive; another is a demon person, already dead."

"Interrogation!"

"Yes!"

Qin Kai led the people down.

Obviously this is not a good place for interrogation.

"What, what on earth is going on?" The village chief was so startled he almost fainted, and hurriedly asked.

"Someone wants to deal with me, they used the village's name as a cover to get close and strike, but I discovered them in advance, so I struck first!" Qin Feng explained in a sentence.

Upon arriving here, he noticed.

But he never moved.

Now that the ancestral hall worship is over, he sensed that these people's emotions were greatly fluctuating, as if they wanted to act, so he dealt with them first.

"These damned beasts!" The village chief paused his cane.

"They are beasts, they will eventually be killed." Qin Feng said, "Village chief grandpa, you all stay in the village, I will go alone to the ancestral tomb to pay respects. Fu Ye Ye, you guard the village; no matter what happens outside, remember, do not act rashly."

"Family Head..." Zhang Fu's expression changed.

"We'll go with you, more people means greater strength." The village chief said, his expression slightly changing, and added, "Paying respects at the ancestral hall is enough; there's no need to go to the ancestral tomb."

"If you're going, don't worry!" Qin Feng smiled and walked out of the village, "This is the family head's order, nobody follow!"

"At least bring me along!" Zhang Fu hurriedly caught up.

"If you want to distract me, then follow!"

"I, I, I..." Zhang Fu instantly became conflicted, then gave himself a hard slap, "How could I have not trained properly before?"

Qin Feng ignored him; just as he arrived at the village entrance, he saw a guard coming from afar.

Riding a horse at speed.

"Family Head!" The guard, upon seeing him, jumped off his horse, knelt on one knee, and said, "Manager Qin Bo sent me to report that a flower has bloomed."

"It bloomed?" Qin Feng rejoiced, "Go to the village and find Qin Kai, have him return to the city immediately, then bring the items and hurry to find me."

Yes!

The guard entered the village.

Qin Feng hesitated a bit, but still walked toward the small hill to the south.

There, he sensed a terrifying killing intent.

"You've been waiting for me, and I've been waiting for you; after this battle, all who deserve to die will die!"

Qin Feng's chest boiled with vicious energy, killing intent surging.
