Chapter 97: The Qin Yan Marquis Residence

Qin Di's tone was urgent, his heart full of worry.

The Immortal Sect is not to be trifled with; just moments ago, they killed someone from the Immortal Sect. There was no time to hesitate. In the span of a single cup of tea, several members of the Immortal Sect fell from the clouds they were riding.

They fell quickly, and they were killed quickly too.

Thinking back now, it is terrifying, but Qin Di can bear it.

Qin Bi was also nervous. She felt that if she thought it was possible, then it was possible, and her confidence grew even stronger: "Father, do not worry first. The first wave has already been killed; it does not matter if we kill another wave. I have a wasted spiritual root; you all kill them and protect my Rong Yang."

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

Qin Di wanted to speak but held back, saying, "What immortal technique did you use to waste the spiritual root of the Immortal Sect member? You have just entered the path of cultivation and possess no ability to kill cultivators at the Green level."

Qin Tan also wanted to know, so he could decide how to respond. The gap in cultivation levels meant the Hou Fu people could only be crushed, yet they had clearly just killed a Green-level cultivator and several Green-level disciples.

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

The old Qin Yan Marquis could not kill them, the current Qin Yan Marquis could not kill them, and everyone else was useless. Yet Qin Bi, before the cloud-riding people even arrived, wasted the spiritual roots of the Immortal Sect members, and a mere kick from a child sent them falling from the clouds.

It was unreasonable, it should not have happened, and the entire Hou Fu was bewildered.

The problem was that Qin Bi had not even used a summoning artifact.

Qin Bi weighed her words and said, "I used Battle Qi."

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

Behind the Qin Yan Marquis were Qin Tang and a group of brothers, including legitimate and illegitimate sons from the Third and Fourth Houses. The younger generation of the Hou Fu was present, but the Qin Yan Marquis's wife, He Shi, and other women did not come.

"Will the people of the Immortal Sect come to trouble our Hou Fu?" Qin Xun asked with a grave expression.

"They are already dead," Qin Tan said with a ruthless look. "The Immortal Sect should not have interfered in our Hou Fu's affairs in the first place."

That is what was said, but does the Immortal Sect reason? The Immortal Sect protects its own!

Furthermore, the people of the Immortal Sect came with killing intent. Before even arriving, they used Green-level spiritual power to suppress the Hou Fu. Yet before the Immortal Sect people could kill them, they had already been killed.

The legitimate and illegitimate sons of Qin Tang's generation were both nervous and incredulous; they were far more capable than expected.

"Are there any of my Immortal Sect people here?" Just then, a long and majestic voice drifted from afar.

The people of the Hou Fu were startled and all looked up. They saw members of the Immortal Sect riding clouds toward them. Judging by the clouds they rode, they too must be at the Green level of cultivation.

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

The two Immortal Sect members were friends, flying one after another on clouds. The one in the rear had only paused briefly at the mountain's edge when the other's life force vanished. The friend immediately hurried over on his clouds.

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

Qin Bi had only tested it lightly before. Since it succeeded, trying again if it failed would be disastrous. After all, she had no cultivation base and had just entered the path of cultivation. Therefore, if she was going to kill, she had to do it early; if she could not kill, there would still be time to respond.

"Is there any need for useless talk?" Qin Bi asked the elders.

The Qin Yan Marquis was stunned, but Qin Tan said, "No need for useless talk."

That was good. Qin Bi would act rather than speak; speaking wasted time. Before they even got close, they had already used the spiritual power of a strong cultivator. Why be polite? No questions needed; the newcomers were clearly not good people.

Qin Bi extended her hand, her robe sleeves swaying as she directed her Battle Qi to attack the several people arriving over the Qin Yan Marquis's residence.

As soon as Qin Tan finished speaking, the several Immortal Sect members on the clouds staggered. This time, they did not even need Rong Yang to kick them. With a "plop," the Immortal Sect members fell clumsily.

"Ouch..."

The Qin Yan Marquis and others stared with wide eyes. This time, Qin Tan saw clearly: Qin Bi had not used a summoning artifact; she had used an immortal technique he had never seen to knock the people off the clouds.

"Kill them," Qin Bi said again.

The Hou Fu crowd, who had been stunned into near idiocy, came to their senses. Taking a deep breath, they knew they must kill them. The Immortal Sect was not to be trifled with; they had already killed one wave, so it did not matter if they killed another.

The Qin Yan Marquis also grew bold. He took Qin Tang and the guards to approach. The Immortal Sect members had fallen hard this time and had their spiritual roots wasted. Seeing people approach, they began to act arrogantly.

The legitimate and illegitimate sons exchanged glances, rushed forward, and struck with lethal force.

When Qin He hurriedly arrived from the Second House, the second wave of Immortal Sect people had already been killed. The legitimate and illegitimate sons were like they had been injected with chicken blood; their previous fear was swept away. They had already killed two waves; the Immortal Sect people were pathetically weak.

"You, you..." Qin He was so shocked she could not speak.

Since crossing over, Qin He had never felt so powerless, as if all her skills were suppressed and unable to be used. She was panicked and terrified, her pretty face losing its composure.

The illegitimate sons glanced at her once, then quickly cleaned up the traces of the fight.

"What are you doing here?" The Qin Yan Marquis's wife arrived and signaled to the old women behind her: "Hurry and take Young Lady Qin He back to the Second House courtyard."

The old women did not argue, but escorted Qin He away.

When the Qin Yan Marquis returned to the Fourth House courtyard, the old Qin Yan Marquis had also arrived. Hearing what had happened from the Qin Yan Marquis's mouth, the old Qin Yan Marquis was stunned and suspected he had misheard.

The old Qin Yan Marquis's expression changed, and the younger legitimate and illegitimate sons grew tense along with him.

Entering the main courtyard of the Fourth House, the old Qin Yan Marquis looked at Qin Bi once more and said, "I suppose the people of the Immortal Sect will come looking for us again."

Everyone's hearts sank. They could not guarantee they could kill a third wave. The younger generation was nervous, yet still eager to try. The Qin Yan Marquis's residence had been in decline for too long and had never before slaughtered so widely.

The usually quiet illegitimate sons now had light in their eyes.

The old Qin Yan Marquis looked at Qin Bi with appreciation, scrutiny, and a hint of expectation for the family's prosperity: "You have no cultivation base and have just entered the path of cultivation. If the people of the Immortal Sect come again, do you still have the confidence to kill them?"

"We will know when we try," Qin Bi said, nervous yet full of confidence. She looked up at the sky over the Qin Yan Marquis's residence and said, "Within the Qin Yan Marquis's residence, this is my territory. As long as my father and brothers protect me, my Battle Qi will surge."

"Oh my heavens!" Qin Lang gave a thumbs-up. "Sister, you are amazing."

Qin Lang stepped forward and stood beside Qin Bi: "I will stand right in front of you; it would be best if your Battle Qi value exploded. What Immortal Sect people? They are simply no match. I didn't know our Hou Fu was this powerful."

This was getting to his head. Qin Bi warned, "Once we leave the Qin Yan Marquis's residence, I cannot protect you."

Qin Lang's eyes flashed as he pondered her words. Several illegitimate sons from the Third and Fourth Houses exchanged glances and quietly moved closer to Qin Bi. Qin Bi took a deep breath, hoping her Battle Qi value would not be too outrageous.

The Qin Yan Marquis asked, unwilling to give up: "Is it that the Battle Qi is not so powerful once we leave the Qin Yan Marquis's residence?"
