Burying the Liu Family

The Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate.

Countless figures flickered into existence, one after another.

They had all been drawn by Qin Anlan.

Their gazes were remarkably unified.

As they looked towards Qin Anlan, there was a mix of shock and fervor.

At this moment, Qin Anlan was completely unaware of the outside situation.

Using the Four Beasts' Descent had attracted the attention of countless people.

Not only had it caused the many ancestors of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate to awaken prematurely, but even Emperor Xuanyuan had noticed him.

He currently had his eyes closed, seemingly in contemplation.

After an unknown amount of time, the phenomenon in the sky finally began to dissipate.

Qin Anlan's consciousness gradually cleared, and he secretly communicated with the system.

"System, open my Status Panel!"

A blue light appeared before him, visible only to Qin Anlan himself.

When Qin Anlan opened his eyes, the scene before him made him jump.

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

Floating in the sky, standing on the ground.

Dense and boundless.

All of them were human figures.

Those fervent gazes, as they looked at Qin Anlan, were like admiring a rare treasure.

Having already accepted his complete identity, Qin Anlan had some understanding of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate.

However, when he sensed the terrifying auras surrounding him, Qin Anlan was secretly shocked.

Not to mention the experts at the Divine Emperor and Divine Venerable levels, Qin Anlan could even feel the auras of over a dozen top-tier powerful beings at the Saint stage.

There were even some auras that were extremely terrifying, making it impossible for Qin Anlan to discern their true strength.

They were at least at the Saint Lord level.

Or even more terrifying powerful beings.

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

It was truly terrifying.

"All of you, stand down and go cultivate."

At this moment, a voice with a profound aura and unfathomable cultivation resounded.

"As you command!"

The powerful individuals of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate heard this and dared not resist in the slightest, obediently withdrawing.

After everyone retreated, the auras of the many powerful individuals around them subsided again, becoming hidden.

An ancient phantom flickered into existence before Qin Anlan.

In just a moment, it vanished without a trace.

Qin Anlan narrowed his eyes, gazing at the figure that had just departed, lost in thought.

It was that elder who had spoken and dispersed the crowd.

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 was heaven-defying.

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

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

Before Qin Anlan could ponder further.

Two figures rapidly arrived at the great hall, appearing behind Qin Anlan.

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.

The Third Elder Qin Gengxin was already a powerhouse at the late-stage Saint Lord realm.

The Seventh Elder Qin Zizai was 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 bowed slightly.

Their eyes held a mixture of shock and confusion.

"Greetings to you both, Elders."

Qin Anlan also cupped his fists slightly.

Although Qin Anlan, as the Young Lord of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate, held immense power.

He could essentially do as he pleased within the estate.

However, these two individuals before him, one a Saint realm expert and the other a Saint Lord.

They were respected and untouchable figures anywhere in the Heavenly Flame Empire.

Qin Anlan naturally had no need to put on airs in front of them.

"May I ask the reason for your visit, esteemed Elders?"

"We are here under the orders of the Supreme Elder to ensure the Young Lord's safety."

The Third Elder Qin Gengxin responded first.

Qin Anlan nodded slightly.

He seemed to understand the Supreme Elder's intentions.

Qin Anlan's behavior as a simp over the past few years had thoroughly disappointed many of the powerful figures in the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate.

The Supreme Elder was utterly disappointed in Qin Anlan.

Qin Anlan wasn't too surprised by this.

Changing his simp image wouldn't happen overnight.

He needed to take concrete actions to convince everyone in the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate.

This was why Qin Anlan had used the Four Beasts' Blessing, creating such a Heaven and Earth Phenomenon.

He wanted to change the existing impression people had of him.

To all the powerful figures of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate,

Watch closely. The simp of the past is long gone.

What you will see is a true destined villain.

"The Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate is filled with experts; the Young Lord's safety is absolutely guaranteed."

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

The Third Elder Qin Gengxin spoke his mind quickly.

The Seventh Elder Qin Zizai, though smiling warmly, didn't say much.

However, his eyes revealed a hint of impatience.

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

This was beyond doubt.

Now, with the Divine Beast's Blessing, he had caused a Heaven and Earth Phenomenon, a prodigy unseen in ten thousand years.

This was all good.

The only flaw was his excessive simp behavior.

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

Even the Qin family elders in seclusion had heard of it.

For the Young Lord of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate to grovel before a woman with ordinary talent, strength, and background.

It was as if they had utterly disgraced the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate.

They could protect Qin Anlan, yes.

That was under the command of the Grand Elder, and also to save face for Qin Anlan's father, the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo.

Over the years, who in the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate wasn't utterly disappointed in Qin Anlan?

Thinking of this.

Let alone the people of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate wanting to slap Qin Anlan a few times.

Qin Anlan himself wanted to slap the original host a few times.

He had seen idiots before, but never an idiot as utterly foolish as the original host, a complete simp.

Taking a deep breath, he pushed the messy thoughts from his mind.

Qin Anlan turned his gaze to the two elders, his expression sincere. "Elders, you've arrived at the perfect time. This Young Lord has an important matter that I need to trouble you with."

As he spoke, Qin Anlan stood up and cupped his hands towards Qin Gengxin and the other elder.

The two of them stiffened.

They seemed to want to stop Qin Anlan, but made no actual move.

"Liu Ruyan of the Liu family came to the Marquis's Estate today to break off the engagement."

Break off the engagement?

Hearing these two words, Qin Gengxin and the other elder were jolted.

Their gaze towards Qin Anlan was filled with a hint of suspicion.

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

If he were truly to be jilted.

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

Over the past three years, Qin Anlan had provided vast resources to Liu Ruyan and the entire Liu family.

To be jilted now meant that the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate would lose not only face, but also a huge amount of resources.

The entire Marquis's Estate would probably become a laughingstock.

"Elders, there's no need to be overly surprised. To dare break off an engagement with our Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate."

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

"I wish for the elders to take our Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate's Nine Dragon Bell and deliver the Liu family to their end."
