Hearing Qin Hai's words, the corner of Qin Jiuge's mouth twitched...
He truly deserved to be the Destined Great Villain... Even his clansmen were like this. They could practically be called a villainous family!
There was no need to doubt it—every word out of their mouths was a classic villain line!
However, for Qin Jiuge, the most urgent matter at hand was to meet her first and determine whether she was a Child of Destiny.
Once that was confirmed, he would have to find a way to bring this Child of Destiny under his command and use her for his own ends!
"Young Master..."
Just as Qin Jiuge was deep in thought, an elder suddenly spoke.
There was a trace of concern in his tone.
"Third Elder, speak freely."
Qin Jiuge recognized the old man. He was the Third Elder of their branch, Qin Run!
"Young Master, although you have awakened the Chaos Body and Twin Pupils, I must still say... this Supreme Bone's potential is not weak."
"That girl may belong to our branch and naturally stand on our side."
"But the clan elders, the Second Elder, and I have kept her imprisoned these past few days. I fear she already knows what we intend... Even if she does not, she must be suspicious..."
"Since Young Master has no use for this Supreme Bone, rather than raise a tiger only to court disaster... it would be better to..."
Qin Run raised his head, a fierce gleam flashing through his eyes. He lifted his right hand and made a vicious slashing motion across his throat.
Cut the grass, pull up the roots!
"As for the Supreme Bone... it can be transplanted into another clansman as a reward, making them utterly loyal and willing to serve the family. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Qin Jiuge was speechless.
This old man was a villain through and through!
Qin Jiuge did not even want this Supreme Bone, yet the man still intended to kill her?
However, Qin Jiuge had no intention of actually killing her as the old man suggested.
He had to confirm whether she was a Child of Destiny!
What was truly powerful was never an external force like the Supreme Bone.
It was the fortune innate to a Child of Destiny!
Moreover, a true Child of Destiny could not be killed!
They would always find all sorts of ways to escape misfortune, then repay the villains who harmed them tenfold!
At this thought, Qin Jiuge hurriedly stopped him. "Third Elder, that is not right."
"She was born with the Supreme Bone. Compared to transplantation, it is certainly more compatible with her."
"Besides, though we once imprisoned her, we have never truly harmed her."
"Rather than kill her, why not see whether she can be subdued?"
"Why not let me take a look at this Supreme Bone?"
When Qin Jiuge said this, the high-ranking members of the Qin Family branch, Qin Hai included, agreed without even thinking.
Though Qin Jiuge was the youngest here in terms of seniority.
The potential he had displayed, along with his terrifying future, was already enough to make these old men see him in a new light.
As for Qin Hai and Qin Ming, they were Qin Jiuge's closest relatives. They cared deeply for him and naturally would not go against his wishes.
"Fine. Since you say so, Jiuge... let us give it a try!"
In the end, Qin Hai made the decision and agreed to let Qin Jiuge see the clanswoman who possessed the Supreme Bone.
Led by Qin Hai and the others, Qin Jiuge arrived before the entrance to a hidden dungeon.
Several Dark Guards carrying weapons stood outside the dungeon, and the security was exceedingly strict.
The heavy stone door weighed no less than ten thousand jin!
Seeing such tight defenses, the corner of Qin Jiuge's mouth twitched...
These old men of the Qin Family truly cared about this Supreme Bone!
Qin Hai took out an oddly shaped key and inserted it into a keyhole beside the stone door.
Amid a teeth-grating creak, the stone door slowly opened.
"Come in!"
"That Supreme Bone is inside."
At the same time.
Inside the dungeon.
The dungeon was dark and gloomy, with not a trace of sunlight entering it.
Dim oil lamps flickered. A girl burdened with heavy shackles slowly woke up, staring blankly at the lamps.
Once she saw her surroundings clearly, a cold smile appeared at the corner of her lips.
"I actually lived another life and returned here..."
The girl softly sighed as she looked around.
Then, a tragic memory surfaced in her mind.
In her previous life, she had awakened the Supreme Bone when she was sixteen.
At first, she had thought she would become someone the family focused on nurturing, then properly assist the Qin Family's Prince Jiuge as he ascended to the peak.
Yet she had never expected that a man was innocent, but his jade made him guilty.
The Qin Family did not care about her talent or her future. Instead, they had set their sights on her Supreme Bone!
Having only just awakened the Supreme Bone, she did not yet possess great combat strength. Qin Hai and several elders captured her and threw her straight into this dungeon!
Then... they forcibly stripped away her Supreme Bone and transplanted it into Qin Jiuge, the Second Sequence among the Qin Family's younger generation!
Qin Jiuge!
At the thought of that name, a deep hatred flashed through the girl's eyes!
After having her Supreme Bone taken from her in her previous life, she had been discarded like trash in a mass grave.
Perhaps her life was not yet meant to end. On the brink of death, she was saved by an expert. Then, relying on her own talent and hard work, she rose step by step!
In the end, after becoming a Great Emperor, she personally stormed the Qin Family. Not only did she easily kill Qin Jiuge, who had taken her Supreme Bone, she also killed every other person involved!
Had she not considered that the Qin Family was the family she had been born into, and that the others were more or less innocent, the entire Qin Family would have been buried with them!
After destroying the Qin Family, she believed her wish had been fulfilled and resolutely embarked upon the path of breaking through to become a Heavenly Emperor!
But unexpectedly, something still went wrong when she tried to break through to the Heavenly Emperor Realm.
She had thought she would die and vanish, becoming a lone ghost drifting between heaven and earth.
Yet she had never expected that she would return once more to the time when her Supreme Bone was stolen in her previous life!
And have to endure the pain of having her bone dug out all over again!
A resolute light flashed through the girl's eyes.
A mere Supreme Bone was nothing to her!
With the memories of her previous life, she would certainly rise faster in this life than she had before!
Moreover, she knew that Qin Jiuge could not handle her Supreme Bone!
In her previous life, Qin Jiuge, after transplanting her Supreme Bone, had soon suffered a backlash.
Not only had his cultivation progressed slowly, he had also frequently suffered agonizing pain that gnawed at his bones and pierced his heart.
By the time she had mastered her divine arts and returned to the Qin Family, Qin Jiuge had only reached the Dharma Aspect Realm.
With a casual palm strike, she had killed him outright.
The Qin Family's other experts had also been no match for her, and she had slain them one after another!
"Take it... Let me see how long you can stay happy!"
Mockery flashed through the girl's eyes as she looked toward the stone door.
Though she did not know why the Qin Family had yet to strip the Supreme Bone from her, she imagined it would not be long now.
Just then, with a creak, the heavy stone door suddenly swung open!
