Sending the Liu Family to Their Final Rest

Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate.

Countless figures kept flashing into view.

They had all been drawn here by Qin Anlan.

Their gazes were strikingly uniform.

As they looked at Qin Anlan, their eyes carried both shock and fervor.

At this moment, Qin Anlan had no idea what was happening outside.

Because he had used Four Beasts' Descent, he had already drawn the attention of countless people.

Not only had it awakened many of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate's ancestors ahead of time,

even Emperor Xuanyuan had taken notice of him.

At this moment, his eyes were tightly shut, as though he were in the midst of comprehending something.

No one knew how much time passed before the phenomena in the sky gradually dispersed.

Qin Anlan's consciousness gradually cleared as well, and he silently communicated with the system.

"System, open my Status Panel!"

Before him appeared a streak of blue light that only Qin Anlan himself could see.

When Qin Anlan opened his eyes, the sight before him made his heart leap.

As far as the eye could see, there was a sea of people.

Some floated in the sky, while others stood rooted on the ground.

They were densely packed, stretching as far as the eye could see.

All of them were figures of people.

Those burning gazes, as they looked upon Qin Anlan, were like those of people admiring a peerless treasure.

Now that he had accepted all of his identity,

Qin Anlan had gained a certain understanding of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate.

Yet when he sensed the terrifying auras surrounding him, Qin Anlan was secretly astonished.

Leaving aside powerhouses at the Divine Emperor and Divine Venerable levels,

Qin Anlan could even sense the auras of more than ten top-tier Saint-level great powers.

There were even some auras so terrifying that Qin Anlan could not discern their true strength.

They were at least Saint Lord-level.

Perhaps they were even more terrifying great powers.

So this was the true foundation of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate?

It was truly terrifying beyond measure.

"Everyone, withdraw. Go cultivate."

At that moment, a voice rang out, rich and profound, its cultivation unfathomable.

"Yes, sir!"

Upon hearing this, the many powerhouses of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate did not dare show the slightest resistance and obediently withdrew.

After the crowd departed, the auras of the many surrounding powerhouses also lowered their banners and silenced their drums, concealing themselves once more.

An aged phantom flickered into existence before Qin Anlan.

In the span of a moment, it vanished without a trace.

Qin Anlan narrowed his eyes as he watched the figure that had just departed, sinking into thought.

It had been that old man who had spoken just now and dismissed everyone.

The old man was none other than the Supreme Elder of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate.

He had lived for tens of thousands of years.

His cultivation reached the heavens and penetrated the earth.

It was said that he had already reached the Quasi-Emperor level.

The true foundation of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate was even more terrifying than Qin Anlan had imagined.

Before Qin Anlan could think any further,

two figures swiftly entered the main hall and appeared behind him.

These two were elders of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate.

They were the Third Elder, Qin Gengxin, and the Seventh Elder, Qin Zizai.

Third Elder Qin Gengxin was already a late-stage Saint Lord powerhouse.

Seventh Elder Qin Zizai was likewise at the Peak Saint stage.

He was only half a step away from the Saint Lord realm.

"Greetings, Young Lord."

The two appeared before Qin Anlan and gave him a slight bow.

Their eyes held both shock and a trace of doubt.

"Greetings, Elders."

Qin Anlan also cupped his hands slightly.

Although Qin Anlan, as the Young Lord of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate, wielded immense authority,

and could cover the sky with one hand within the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate,

the two before him included one Saint-level powerhouse and one Saint Lord.

Anywhere in the Heavenly Flame Empire, they would be revered figures whom no one dared provoke.

Naturally, Qin Anlan had no need to put on airs before them.

"May I ask why the two Elders have come?"

"The two of us have been ordered by the Supreme Elder to protect the Young Lord's safety."

Third Elder Qin Gengxin was the first to answer.

Qin Anlan nodded slightly.

He seemed to understand the Supreme Elder's intentions.

Qin Anlan's conduct as a simp over the past few years had utterly disappointed the many powerhouses of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate.

The Supreme Elder, in particular, had been disappointed in Qin Anlan to the extreme.

Qin Anlan was not particularly surprised by this.

Changing his image as a simp was not something that could be accomplished overnight.

He had to take concrete action before he could convince the people of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate.

That was why Qin Anlan had used Four Beasts' Blessing to create such a Heaven and Earth Phenomenon.

It was precisely to alter everyone's original impression of him.

You powerhouses of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate,

watch closely. The simp of old was gone for good.

What you would see was a true Arch-Villain favored by fate.

"The Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate is filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers. The Young Lord's safety will absolutely not be an issue."

"If the Young Lord has no other matters, this old man will take his leave first."

Third Elder Qin Gengxin spoke first, blunt and straightforward.

Seventh Elder Qin Zizai wore a beaming smile and did not say much.

Yet a trace of impatience showed in his eyes.

Their Young Lord possessed extraordinary talent and bore the Void Saint Body. He was an unparalleled prodigy of the entire Heavenly Flame Empire.

There was no doubt about that.

And now, he possessed the Divine Beast's Blessing and had triggered a Heaven and Earth Phenomenon. He was a prodigy unseen in ten thousand years.

That was all well and good.

The only flaw was that he was far too much of a simp.

After all, Qin Anlan's reputation as a simp had long spread throughout the Heavenly Flame Empire.

Even the many Qin Family elders who had been in seclusion had long heard of it.

As the Young Lord of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate, he had actually knelt and fawned over a woman whose talent, strength, and background were all ordinary.

He had simply thrown away all the face of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate.

They could protect Qin Anlan.

That was because they were obeying the Supreme Elder's orders, and because they were giving Qin Anlan's father, the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo, some face.

Over the years, who in the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate had not been utterly disappointed in Qin Anlan?

Thinking of this,

let alone the people of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate, who wanted to slap Qin Anlan a few times,

even Qin Anlan wanted to slap the original owner of this body a few times.

He had seen idiots before, but never a simp as idiotic beyond salvation as the original owner.

Taking a deep breath, Qin Anlan cast aside the chaotic thoughts in his mind.

Qin Anlan turned his gaze toward the two elders and said earnestly, "Elders, you have come at exactly the right time. This Young Lord has an important matter for which I would like to trouble you both."

As he spoke, Qin Anlan rose to his feet and cupped his hands toward Qin Gengxin and Qin Zizai.

The two men's bodies trembled.

They appeared to want to stop Qin Anlan, yet neither took any actual action.

"Liu Ruyan of the Liu Family came to the Divine Marquis's Estate today to annul the engagement."

Annul the engagement?

Upon hearing those words, Qin Gengxin and Qin Zizai were both shaken.

When they looked at Qin Anlan again, their eyes carried a hint of uncertainty.

The dignified Young Lord of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate.

If he were truly to have his engagement annulled,

the entire Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate would likely lose all its face.

Over the past three years, Qin Anlan had provided Liu Ruyan and the entire Liu Family with vast quantities of resources.

If the engagement was annulled in a single day, the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate would lose not only face, but also immense resources.

The entire Divine Marquis's Estate would likely become a laughingstock.

"Elders, there is no need for such surprise. She dared annul an engagement with the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate."

"This Young Lord has already crippled Liu Ruyan's cultivation, stripped away her Spiritual Root, extracted her Skyflame Phoenix Blood, and thrown her back to the Liu Family."

"This Young Lord asks the two Elders to take the Nine Dragon Bell of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate and send the entire Liu Family to their final rest."
