An Unprecedented Luxury

It was actually Millennium Aristocratic Family that made the move; the Cui Household must have a very powerful background.

They have a profound heritage, have remained immortal for over a thousand years, and have only grown stronger over time, truly deserving the title of Changqing Lineage.

Even dynasties throughout history have undergone changes and cannot compare to them.

They sent their clansmen to various places Beyond the Mundane and to different schools of the Esoteric Sect, and many of them have become great masters.

Yu Gensheng and Zhao Ziyuan frowned, but quickly became menacing again.

"Don't rush, record it with the Memory Crystal first, so we have a legitimate reason!" Yu Gensheng said.

Zhao Ziyuan nodded and said, "Yes, while others are fighting against demons, the Cui Household is turning against their One of Us. It's outrageous!"

Both were skin and bones, with only sparse hair fluttering on their heads; they were extremely old, yet their spiritual cultivation was ever more profound.

They moved like gods and ghosts, appearing and disappearing without a trace, traversing the waist-high wormwood, sometimes elusive, sometimes swift.

The Cui Household family arrived; this small group of people were all highly skilled.

Qin Ming suddenly stopped, sensing a strong sense of malice. A group of people were approaching at an alarming speed.

Moreover, they have already dispersed and circled around us.

Qin Ming frowned; the tree may wish to remain still, but the wind will not cease.

He guessed it was still someone from the Cui Household.

He is not strong enough at this stage and does not want to clash with them too early, but things have developed to this point and there is no way to avoid it.

This area is dominated by large meadows, with sparse, tall trees that soar into the night sky, and a few crows cawing in the distance.

"Qin Ming!" A sharp shout rang out.

A burly man with a thick beard appeared opposite them, standing at least 2.3 meters tall. His voice echoed like thunder in the night sky, and he gripped a pure white bone spear in his hand, exuding a strong killing intent.

"Cui Sixteen!" Qin Ming recognized him.

This person is from the previous generation, exceptionally talented, and a master on the Secret Sect Path.

The burly man with a full beard said coldly, "No matter what, my Cui Household once raised you. Is this how you treat me? You even address me by my birth order."

Qin Ming said, "I once risked my life for your Cui Household, attracting many experts from the Li Household to hunt me down. I don't owe anyone anything to someone like you who rarely speaks to me."

Then he added, "Besides, you've already come to kill me, what kind of attitude do you expect from me? Get Second Master!"

The burly man with a thick beard Cui Sixteen, had eyes like copper bells. The bone spear in his hand emitted lightning, tearing through the thick night. He did not make a move immediately because he "knew" that there was a master nearby.

He was testing the waters, waiting for the person who would protect Qin Ming to appear; that was the target they were after.

The rest of the Cui Household were on high alert, ready to launch a fierce attack at any moment to support Cui Sixteen and kill the hidden powerhouse.

"Friend, come out!"

Several experts from the Cui Household stood in the grass, holding their breath, and carefully probed all directions with their Consciousness Spirit Light and Divine Wisdom, but found no dangerous opponents.

Qin Ming instantly understood that this group of people thought he had a "protector" and did not believe that he had killed the three teams.

He sighed inwardly, realizing that the Cui Household was overthinking things. He wasn't some Immortal Seed, God Seed, or scion of the Aristocratic Clan; he had no one behind him.

At this critical moment, he naturally wanted to make the most of it, and immediately said, "What are you shouting for? That Old Senior doesn't want to deal with you. Now is the time to kill demons, and the old man doesn't want infighting. You all, step back!"

Cui Sixteen had just been contradicted, and now seeing him becoming even more arrogant and daring to reprimand them, his face immediately turned icy cold.

The others also frowned. Who exactly is the Millennium Aristocratic Family? This kid can't tell the difference between what's important and what's not, daring to turn around and reprimand them!

"You've got some nerve, you're asking for it!" Cui Sixteen's voice was icy cold as he approached step by step.

He didn't believe that the person wouldn't show up. Since the other party was so patient, he would deal with the boy in front of him first and force the other person out.

The other members of the Cui Household were not far from him, ready to join forces to attack their opponent at any time, while still scanning the vast grassland.

"You're the ones who want to die! Do you dare to offend the dignity of your Old Senior? Get out of here!" Qin Ming was straightforward and outspoken. Since they were destined to be adversaries, there was no need for him to be polite to them.

The Cui Household family wanted to skin him alive. They were already filled with boundless anger and resentment because some of their own direct descendants had died, yet he was still jumping up and down in anger.

Cui Changming, Cui Cheng, and the others sent out spirit birds, but none of them found anything, leading them to believe that there were no other experts nearby.

"Could it be that he possesses a rare treasure?" Several people guessed this possibility, and he used it to kill Cui Changkong, Cui Qing, and the others?

Then they realized that several spirit birds had been following them from a distance, and they had never seen anyone else. Could they have been wrong from the start?

One of them spoke up, "Qin Ming, my Cui Household provided you with food and clothing, raised you, and you, this ungrateful wretch, end up harming your own clansmen. Do you have any conscience?"

Qin Ming said, "Don't you feel disgusted saying such things? That's incredibly hypocritical."

Cui Sixteen shouted, "You son of a bitch, who gave you the audacity to speak to us like that?"

At this moment, Qin Ming was enraged. The other party had even uttered such malicious words as "born son of a family member."

"With someone like you in the Cui Household, destruction is inevitable!" he said coldly.

Cui Changming spoke up, "Sixteen, why are you getting angry with a child? It makes you look petty and lacking in manners. So what if he curses at you a few times?"

He looked at Qin Ming and said, "Child, I know you have resentment in your heart, but you can't blame us. A person's words, actions, and choices depend on their position. Some decisions are beyond our control; it's the events themselves that drive us forward."

"What do you want?" Qin Ming asked calmly.

Cui Changming said, "You've mastered the Silk Book Method, haven't you? Come back to the Cui Household with me. Even if you commit numerous bloody crimes, I can guarantee your safety."

Qin Ming asked, "What will happen if I don't go?"

He knew that the Cui Household cared a great deal about the Silk Scripture, and even the clan's patriarch was studying it.

Clearly, the Cui Household saw hope in him and wanted to use him to further analyze the Silk Scripture so that those in their clan who were on the New Life Path could be trained.

As for the possibility that the scriptures contain hidden dangers and will eventually cause the body to explode, that only applies after one has cultivated to a certain level, and many people simply cannot reach that level.

The Cui Household recognized Qin Ming's value, and even if they couldn't analyze anything, they could still treat him as a mother figure and have him guide others onto the path.

Cui Changming smiled faintly and said, "You also grew up in the Cui Household. Do some things need to be said so bluntly?"

"I can't go with you!" Qin Ming refused outright. If he really went to the Cui Household, living there would probably be more painful than dying.

Cui Cheng said, "Dynasties come and go, but powerful Aristocratic Clan. The Cui Household has watched the various forces in the Night Mist World rise and fall throughout history, and we have always been here, never leaving."

Millennium Aristocratic Family is a behemoth that can indeed suffocate many people; just mentioning it will make all parties extremely wary.

Qin Ming drew his sword, the gleaming blade reflecting his handsome face and resolute expression.

"Sixteen, take him away," Cui Changming ordered.

It's obvious that Cui Sixteen isn't suited for intelligence gathering or similar tasks; he's just a tool in the hands of this small group, and now it's his turn to "do the work."

"You Little Bai, come here!" The burly man with a thick beard sneered, holding a white bone spear in one hand and reaching out with his other large, fan-like hand to grab Qin Ming.

Qin Ming's expression was indifferent; even if he was exposed in Torn Cloth and Starfire Essence, he didn't care about anything else.

Cui Sixteen was very burly, but his body was exceptionally agile and nimble, like a night bird crossing the grassland. For him, a distance of tens of meters was as close as if it were nothing.

He seemed to be teleporting, his speed was terrifying.

However, the sneer on his face suddenly froze, and his body stiffened halfway through.

Everyone was shocked, for they could clearly see his head suddenly shatter, with bone fragments, blood, and a paste-like substance flying in all directions.

This bloody and horrific scene shocked everyone; a master at the Early-Third Realm had died so tragically.

Cui Sixteen's "out-of-the-box" idea was really too sudden.

A black Iron Pellet, faintly Heavenly Light with the light of day, shot through Cui Sixteen's shattered skull; it was this gall that instantly killed a direct descendant of the Cui Household family.

Only then did the terrifying sonic boom erupt, deafeningly loud.

Moreover, it can be seen that along the path where the Iron Pellet flew, the shockwave it generated caused the grass and other vegetation on the ground, which was half a person's height, to completely disintegrate.

The ferocious Cui Sixteen stood there for two breaths with his headless corpse, then collapsed with a thud.

The Cui Household family members were horrified; Qin Ming really had someone backing him!

Although Cui Sixteen was reckless, he was indeed very talented and a very useful butcher's knife, but he died suddenly in the blink of an eye.

His death was so swift that it sank the hearts of everyone present.

Qin Ming was somewhat bewildered. He had been traveling against the wind the whole way; when had he ever received such treatment?

Has the Solar Yang risen again today? He felt it was somewhat unreal.

He knew his own situation well; he had no protectors around him.

On the grassland, in the night fog, a dark shadow, like a ghost, appeared and suddenly pounced on Qin Ming.

Not all the experts from the Cui Household had shown themselves before; some had been secretly approaching. Now that they've been exposed, they want to control the main figure and then threaten the "protector."

However, even with his incredible speed, he failed to succeed.

The grassland trembled, as if a huge beast was galloping wildly, and the grass along the way was all blown apart.

A gaunt, gray figure rushed past like a hurricane, blinding everyone.

The men from the Cui Household, who had sneaked in, intended to attack and kidnap Qin Ming, only to discover to their horror that half of his body was gone. He screamed in agony, but no sound came out.

Because his left side, including part of his throat, disappeared as well.

The gray figure was ridiculously fast, like a thunderstorm or a hurricane. As it passed by, it simply swept a large sleeve over him and took away half of his body.

At this moment, his remaining half of his body was covered in blood, and it was clear that he was not going to survive.

This scene is absolutely terrifying!

A chill ran through the Cui Household family.

Qin Ming was stunned. A "helping hand" had actually appeared in his time of crisis? This was an unprecedented "luxury" experience!
