Trusting An Lan Won't Disappoint Me

Under the Void Hand Seal, an extremely vast aura erupted forth.

It was as if the surrounding tens of thousands of miles would vanish without a trace, turning to ash and smoke under this single strike.

Facing the overwhelming, world-destroying, terrifying attack.

Even the elder, who was at the peak Saint Lord Realm, felt a flicker of fear deep within his heart.

At this moment, he had nowhere left to retreat.

He could only grit his teeth, even burning his life force, to charge headlong into the danger.

RUMBLE!

A violent explosion rang out.

Before the elder could even utter a scream, he was annihilated by the powerful blast, vanishing into thin air.

His entire body dissolved into scattered specks, dispersing into the void.

After killing the elder, Qin Zhenxian remained as calm and composed as ever.

It was as if the top-tier expert of the Saint Lord Realm who had just died by his hand was nothing more than an insignificant nobody.

The surrounding experts from the Heavenly Flame Empire, as well as the many experts from the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate, all wore expressions of awe and fear.

They subconsciously lowered their heads.

They didn't dare to meet Qin Zhenxian's gaze.

Although Qin Zhenxian had only been in the Northern Plains for two years.

The number of experts who had fallen by his hand was already countless.

In front of Qin Zhenxian, those in the Saint Realm were no different from ants.

Even experts at the Saint Lord Realm were easily annihilated by Qin Zhenxian.

After killing the elder, the entire tribe to which the elder belonged, numbering millions, was completely slaughtered, leaving no survivors.

A Saint Lord Realm expert approached Qin Zhenxian and cupped his hands, saying, "Congratulations, Lord Marquis, on successfully eradicating the Ji Wu Tribe and resolving a major problem."

"Lord Marquis has successfully reclaimed two prefectures, causing heavy losses to the original seventy-two tribes, forcing them to flee."

"When you return victorious, you will advance further in the imperial court."

The other numerous experts also stepped forward, cupping their hands in greeting.

"Congratulations, Lord Marquis, congratulations!"

This expedition led by Qin Zhenxian not only successfully reclaimed the two prefectures but also firmly secured the military and political authority of those prefectures.

All civil and military officials, from top to bottom, had been replaced with his confidants.

It could be said without exaggeration.

Although these two prefectures belonged to the Heavenly Flame Empire, they were firmly controlled by Qin Zhenxian.

They already bore the surname Qin, not Xuanyuan.

Facing everyone's congratulations and flattery.

Qin Zhenxian remained unfazed, merely nodding slightly, without saying much.

"With the Ji Wu Tribe destroyed, the main force of the seventy-two tribes in the Northern Plains has also suffered heavy losses. The remaining scattered soldiers are no longer a threat."

"It looks like in a few months, we'll be able to return to the capital."

Just as Qin Zhenxian finished speaking, an expert hurried over, arriving beside him. He knelt before Qin Zhenxian and respectfully reported, "Greetings, Lord Marquis."

"What happened?"

Upon seeing the approaching man, Qin Zhenxian narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice.

The man dared not conceal anything, cupping his hands in response, "News has arrived from the capital that Liu Ruyan of the Liu Family has broken off her engagement with the Young Lord."

"The Young Lord was enraged and personally led the experts of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate to completely slaughter the entire Liu Family."

"Even Liu Ruyan had her spiritual roots taken by the Young Lord, her Skyflame Phoenix Blood extracted, and was turned into a cripple."

"Furthermore, the Young Lord also triggered a Heaven and Earth Phenomenon, such as the Divine Beast's Blessing."

"The many experts of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate all awakened due to the phenomenon caused by the Young Lord."

As soon as this was said, the numerous experts exchanged glances, their faces filled with shock.

For a time, they didn't know what to say.

They were all well aware of the matters concerning the Young Lord of the Divine Marquis, Qin Anlan.

Possessing the Void Saint Body and exceptional talent, he was the prodigy of the entire Heavenly Flame Empire and the pride of the entire Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate.

But ever since Qin Anlan met Liu Ruyan three years ago, he had undergone a drastic change.

He unconditionally and without restraint fawned over Liu Ruyan.

For Liu Ruyan, he even took out numerous rare treasures from the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate.

Liu Ruyan's family, the Liu Family, and the Zhou Family, all benefited from Liu Ruyan's connection and soared to prominence.

Qin Anlan had gone from being the pride of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate to its shame.

He had dragged the entire Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate into disgrace.

But now.

After only two years apart, Qin Anlan had undergone a drastic transformation.

From a simp back then, he had become ruthless, wiping out the entire Liu Family when they disagreed.

Upon hearing this news, Qin Zhenxian remained unfazed.

He didn't seem surprised by Qin Anlan's earth-shattering change.

He stood with his hands behind his back, floating in the void, quietly observing the crowd around him.

"Divine Beast's Blessing!"

A hint of a smile finally appeared on Qin Zhenxian's lips.

"As expected of my son, Qin Zhenxian. You truly haven't disappointed me."

In fact.

Three years ago, when he realized Qin Anlan's simping behavior and his incorrigible, hopeless nature, Qin Zhenxian had been somewhat disappointed.

He had already made his plans.

If, after he pacified the Seventy-Two Tribes of the Northern Plains and returned to the capital, Qin Anlan was still the same incorrigible simp he used to be.

His main account was ruined.

Qin Zhenxian had already considered cultivating a secondary account.

Fortunately.

As the Young Lord of the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate, and as Qin Zhenxian's son, Qin Anlan had not let him down after all.

"How is Anlan now?"

Upon hearing this, the person continued, "The Young Lord has successfully broken through to the Late Stage Emperor Sealing Realm."

"Late Stage Emperor Sealing Realm?"

"Anlan is truly the Qilin of my Qin family. Three years without seeing him, and he's already worthy of admiration."

The smile on Qin Zhenxian's lips was so wide it was almost uncontainable.

Three years.

In just three years, Qin Anlan had broken through from Early Stage Emperor Sealing to Late Stage Emperor Sealing.

Such a breakthrough speed was practically a rocket launch.

Even Qin Zhenxian himself, in his prime, would have been hard-pressed to compare.

"Furthermore, when the Young Lord annihilated the Liu Family, someone from the Heavenly Firmament Academy intervened to stop him."

"The person claimed to be acting under the orders of the First Prince and the Left Prime Minister."

"However, according to intelligence gathered by the Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate, that person was actually the Empress. She had secretly arranged for someone to be under the Left Prime Minister and the First Prince," the informant continued to report.

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhenxian fell into deep thought.

His usually calm expression gradually turned ashen.

"That woman, to get her son on the throne. She's truly gone to great lengths, even trying to drag my Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate down with her. Her intentions are heinous."

As Qin Zhenxian's anger flared, The experts around him felt a wave of chilling air rapidly sweep over them, Making their backs shiver and their bodies tremble.

"Let Anlan handle this matter himself."

"He has the authority to represent me and the entire Divine Marquis of Zhenguo's Estate in making any decisions."

"I believe he won't disappoint me."

Qin Zhenxian narrowed his eyes.

Up to this point, he made no rash moves.

As he himself had said.

He believed Qin Anlan could withstand this trial.
