Chapter 97: The Qin Yan Hou Manor

Qin Di's tone was urgent, his heart filled with worry.

The Xian Sect was not to be trifled with. Just moments ago, they had killed people from the Xian Sect without a second of hesitation; in the span of a single cup of tea, several members of the Xian Sect had fallen from the clouds they were riding.

They fell quickly, and they were killed just as quickly.

Thinking back on it now, it was heart-stopping, but Qin Di could handle it.

Qin Bi was also nervous, but she felt that if it could be done, then it could be done, and her confidence grew stronger: "Father, don't worry yet. The first wave has already been killed; it doesn't matter if we kill another. I have waste spiritual roots, so you all do the killing, and protect my Rong Yang well."

Rong Yang was Rong Juan's child. His small face was taut as he took out his summoning artifact: "I will kill too."

Qin Di wanted to say something but stopped, asking: "What kind of immortal art did you use to destroy the spiritual roots of the Xian Sect members? You have only just entered the path of cultivation; you fundamentally lack the ability to kill a cultivator with Green-tier cultivation."

Qin Tan also wanted to know, so he could decide how to respond. Given the gap in cultivation levels, the people in the Marquis Manor should only have been crushed, yet just now, they had clearly killed a Green-tier cultivator, along with several Cyan-tier cultivation disciples.

"Qin Bi, neither your grandfather nor your eldest uncle could kill a cultivator with Green-tier cultivation," Qin Tan added.

The old Qin Yan Hou couldn't do it, the Qin Yan Hou couldn't do it, and everyone else was useless. Yet, before the people riding the clouds could even arrive, Qin Bi had destroyed the Xian Sect members' spiritual roots, and with a kick from a child, they were sent tumbling off the clouds.

It makes no sense, it shouldn't be, the entire Marquis Manor is bewildered.

The problem was, Qin Bi hadn't even used a summoning artifact.

Qin Bi deliberated for a moment and said: "I used battle Qi."

"Battle Qi?" The arriving Qin Yan Hou heard this and spoke up in confusion.

Behind the Qin Yan Hou was a group of Qin Tang's brothers, including the legitimate and illegitimate sons of the third and fourth branches. The younger children of the Marquis Manor, the Marchioness Qin Yan, and the He clan women had not followed.

"Will the people from the Xian Sect come to cause trouble for our Marquis Manor?" Qin Xun asked with a solemn expression.

"They're already dead." Qin Tan's expression was fierce: "The Xian Sect should never have interfered in our Marquis Manor's affairs to begin with."

That was easy to say, but was the Xian Sect reasonable? The Xian Sect was protective of its own!

Furthermore, the Xian Sect members had come with killing intent, using their Green-tier spiritual power to suppress the manor before they had even arrived. Yet, before the Xian Sect members could kill them, they had already finished the people off.

The legitimate and illegitimate sons of Qin Tang's generation were both nervous and incredulous; they were just too capable.

"Are my Xian Sect people here?" At this moment, a long, majestic voice came from afar.

The people of the Marquis Manor were shocked and all looked up. They saw people from the Xian Sect riding clouds toward them from a distance. They were likely also of Green-tier cultivation; one could tell by the clouds they were riding.

The mist had not condensed into clouds, so their cultivation was naturally not much different from the previous one.

The two Xian Sect members were close friends, riding the mist one after the other. The one behind had only stayed at the mountain's edge for a moment before the aura of life here vanished, so the friend had hurriedly ridden the mist to catch up.

In Qin Di's courtyard, the people of the Marquis Manor were tense, as if facing a great enemy.

Qin Bi had only tested it out a little earlier and succeeded. If it didn't work the next time, it would be bad. After all, she had no cultivation and had only just entered the path of cultivation, so if she was going to kill, she had to do it early; if she couldn't kill them, she would at least have time to respond.

"Is there any need for nonsense?" Qin Bi asked her elders.

The Qin Yan Hou was stunned, and Qin Tan said: "No need for nonsense."

That was good. Qin Bi preferred to act rather than talk; talking wasted time. They were already using the spiritual power of experts before even getting close, so why be polite? There was no need to ask; it was certain that those who came were not kind.

Qin Bi reached out her hand, her sleeves fluttering as she channeled her battle Qi toward the few people who had arrived above the Qin Yan Hou Manor.

Just as Qin Tan's voice fell, the figures of the few Xian Sect members on the clouds swayed. This time, there was no need for Rong Yang to kick them; with a "thud," the Xian Sect members fell down in a sorry state.

"Ouch..."

The eyes of the Qin Yan Hou and the others went wide. This time, Qin Tan saw it clearly: Qin Bi hadn't used a summoning artifact; she had used an immortal art he had never seen before to knock them off the clouds.

"Kill them," Qin Bi said again.

The stunned, almost foolish-looking crowd of the Marquis Manor came to their senses and took a deep breath. They had to kill them; the Xian Sect was not to be trifled with, and since they had already killed one wave, it didn't matter if they killed another.

The Qin Yan Hou also grew bold, taking Qin Tang and the guards to find them. The few Xian Sect members had fallen quite hard this time, and their spiritual roots were destroyed. Seeing people approach, they began to act imperiously.

The legitimate and illegitimate sons looked at each other and rushed up to deal heavy blows.

When Qin He hurried over from the second branch, the second wave of Xian Sect members had already been killed. The legitimate and illegitimate sons were like they had been injected with adrenaline; the previous fear was swept away. They had already killed two waves, and the Xian Sect people were incredibly weak.

"You, you all..." Qin He was too shocked to speak.

Since crossing over, this was the first time Qin He felt so powerless, as if all her skills were unusable, suppressed to death. She was panicked and frightened, and her pretty face lost its composure.

The illegitimate sons only glanced at her once before quickly cleaning up the traces of the fight.

"Why did you come here?" The Marchioness Qin Yan arrived and gave a look to the old woman behind her: "Hurry and take Miss Qin He back to the second branch's courtyard."

The old women didn't wait for an explanation, crowding around Qin He and leading her away.

When the Qin Yan Hou hurried back to the fourth branch's courtyard, the old Qin Yan Hou had also arrived. Hearing from the Qin Yan Hou what had happened, the old Qin Yan Hou was stunned, doubting he had heard correctly.

The old Qin Yan Hou's expression changed, and the younger generation of legitimate and illegitimate sons grew nervous.

Entering the fourth branch's main courtyard, the old Qin Yan Hou looked at Qin Bi a moment longer and said: "Presumably, the people from the Xian Sect will come looking again."

Everyone's hearts sank; they couldn't guarantee they could kill a third wave. The younger generation was nervous but also eager to try. The Qin Yan Hou Manor had been down on its luck for too long; it had never been this fierce before.

The usually quiet little illegitimate son had a light in his eyes now.

The old Qin Yan Hou looked at Qin Bi with appreciation, scrutiny, and a hint of expectation for the family's prosperity: "You have no cultivation and have only just entered the path of cultivation. If the people from the Xian Sect come looking again, are you still confident you can kill them?"

"I'll know once I try." Qin Bi was nervous but full of confidence, looking at the sky above the Qin Yan Hou Manor: "The Qin Yan Hou Manor is my territory. As long as my father and brothers protect me, my battle Qi will surge."

"My heavens!" Qin Lang gave a thumbs up: "Sister, you're amazing."

Qin Lang stepped forward and stood beside Qin Bi: "I'll stand right in front of you, and I hope your battle Qi value surges to the max. What Xian Sect people? They are simply vulnerable. I never knew our Marquis Manor was so powerful."

This was getting carried away. Qin Bi reminded him: "Once we leave the Qin Yan Hou Manor, I won't be able to protect you all."

Qin Lang's eyes flashed as he pondered the meaning of these words. The few illegitimate sons of the third and fourth branches looked at each other and silently moved closer to Qin Bi. Qin Bi took a deep breath, hoping her battle Qi value wouldn't be too outrageous.

The Qin Yan Hou asked, unwilling to give up: "Is the battle Qi not as powerful once we leave the Qin Yan Hou Manor?"
