I Admit There Was a Gambling Element

"Heavens!"

The surrounding crowd trembled in fear, having never witnessed such a grand spectacle.

To eliminate one Qin Feng, the Emperor of Great Xia had mobilized so much power, revealing just how wary he was of this eldest son of the Qin Family, who possessed the Emperor's Talent.

"What a grand display!"

The clouds in the sky churned again, and a cold laugh approached from afar.

On the distant horizon, over a hundred thousand people advanced like a dark tide. With every step, the earth itself trembled. Leading them was a black banner emblazoned with the character "Qin," exuding an aura of grim finality.

Simultaneously, five more figures joined the Qin Family's Ten Ancestors: the Fifth Ancestor, Sixth Ancestor, Seventh Ancestor, Eighth Ancestor, and Ninth Ancestor.

"This scene..."

Lin San was stunned by the spectacle.

He had thought the commotion he caused was significant, but compared to the one Qin Feng had stirred up, his own actions were mere child's play.

For a moment.

Both sides stood at a tense standoff, ready to erupt into battle at any second.

Chang Kun sneered, "It seems your Qin Family intends to protect Qin Feng to the death!?"

"Qin Feng has broken clan rules and must be brought back to the clan for punishment!"

The Fifth Ancestor, the highest-ranking among them, replied calmly, showing no regard for Chang Kun's Imperial City Guard. As for the East Factory, West Factory, and Jinyiwei, they were nothing but trash.

They were merely institutions established by the Great Xia Royal Family to intimidate others. In a nation ruled by aristocratic families like Great Xia, no family would take these institutions seriously; they only sought to assert their presence among the common folk.

Only the aristocratic families present were truly a cause for concern.

"What's the point of interrogating such a beast who harms his own kin? Just kill him directly!"

One of the aristocratic families spoke first.

They didn't know or care about the Qin Family's intentions or plans. All they knew was that this was the best opportunity to kill Qin Feng, and missing it would make things difficult later.

However, they were clearly not brave enough to act themselves.

They preferred to egg on the royal family to take the lead, while they would simply cheer from the sidelines.

"Harming his kin!?"

Zi Yuan's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, completely disbelieving the accusation.

During her time with Qin Feng, she had heard whispers of him digging out his brother's supreme bone, but she trusted her own eyes more.

In her eyes, Qin Feng...

Had unhesitatingly offered fifteen Blood Bodhi to help a strange, powerful demoness who sought his aid.

When facing life-or-death situations, he had given her the chance to live.

Furthermore, when the demoness had entrusted her child to his care, he had not complained once, instead showing meticulous attention to Little White.

One by one, these deeds proved that Qin Feng was a pure and kind person.

She believed Qin Feng had been framed and that she must find a way to save him, absolutely preventing him from falling into the hands of the Great Xia Royal Family and the Qin Family.

"You don't need to worry about that!"

The Fifth Ancestor acted with exceptional assertiveness, preparing to forcibly take Qin Feng away.

"If Qin Feng does not die today, a war between the two sides is inevitable!!"

Chang Kun's eyes flashed with a cold glint. Terrifying energy surged around him, causing the surrounding void to tremble. The battle halberd in his hand erupted with a blinding cold light.

"Fight, fight, fight!!"

Thousands of Imperial City Guards behind Chang Kun shouted in unison, condensing a solid killing intent that swept across the entire scene, giving one the feeling of falling into an ice cave.

Perhaps influenced by Chang Kun and the others, experts from the East Factory, West Factory, and Jinyiwei also entered a combat state, awaiting the order to charge.

In contrast, the experts from the various aristocratic families exchanged glances, seeing the word "slacking" in each other's eyes.

Let the royal family take the lead. If Qin Feng was killed, everyone would be happy and they could go to the Qin Family for a celebratory feast.

If Qin Feng could not be killed, then they would have to act, and they would end up attending a royal banquet together.

"We can only fight!"

The Qin Family's old ancestors' gazes sharpened, preparing for all-out war.

Originally, they had intended to follow Qin Feng's plan, temporarily hiding the clan's two heavenly prodigies and revealing themselves only when they possessed absolute strength.

But who knew that plans couldn't keep up with changes? The Emperor of Great Xia was so wary of their Qin Family.

To eliminate the potential threat of Qin Feng, he had dispatched so many experts at once, forcing the Qin Family to respond.

"No way, no way..." ??

Watching both sides prepare to fight, Qin Feng felt incredibly depressed.

He'd been a good boy for eight years. He'd finally left home to spread his wings, and now if a war broke out, wouldn't he have to log into Red-haired Old Monster and obediently go home to be a good boy for another ten years?

"Then let's fight!!"

Chang Kun drove his Demon Beast and dived towards Qin Feng.

"Kill, kill, kill!!"

The earth-shattering roars of slaughter from both armies echoed through the heavens and earth, as waves of people charged forward with ferocious auras.

In the middle, Lin San and the others trembled, already cursing their mothers in their hearts.

Qin Feng was indeed a menace, but they were innocent!

"I'd like to see who dares to harm Qin Feng!!"

Zi Yuan stood resolutely in front of Qin Feng, gripping a purple jade token in her hand.

"Life Token!!"

Both sides immediately exclaimed in surprise and stopped their attacks.

A Life Token was bestowed by a mighty expert upon their junior, equivalent to an emperor granting a golden plaque to a subordinate, representing the emperor's presence.

The only difference was that while the golden plaque relied solely on the deterrence of imperial power, if a Life Token shattered, the mighty expert could sense it and directly tear through space to descend.

"I admit there was an element of gambling, but I didn't expect to win."

Qin Feng inwardly exclaimed that he had struck gold. His future of living off his wife was secured.

"It's just a Life Token!"

Chang Kun remained defiant, not taking Zi Yuan's threat seriously.

Life Tokens were things only mighty experts could craft, but that didn't mean Great Xia didn't have experts of that caliber.

Their current Emperor, the reclusive former Emperor, and the first and second ancestors of the Qin Family were all top-tier experts of that level, and even among the best.

"Is that so!?"

Zi Yuan wasn't about to humor anyone. She directly threw the Life Token to the ground.

Crack! The Life Token shattered!!

"Holy crap!!"

Chang Kun let out a vulgar exclamation on the spot, indicating that the other party wasn't playing by the rules.

Even if they were enemies, shouldn't they at least sit down and talk? Was smashing a cup as a signal for a fight a bit too hasty?

Roar!!

A deep roar suddenly sounded, and a colossal claw that blotted out the sun reached out from the void. Lightning raged, ancient patterns emerged from it, weaving into the trajectory of the laws of heaven and earth, emitting dazzling light, as if tearing through from ancient space-time.

Rumble!!!

A world-shattering roar suddenly erupted between heaven and earth. The vast and powerful force was enough to make ten thousand zhang of heaven and earth sink completely, crushing all existence.

When the main body of the giant claw appeared, everyone present forgot to breathe.

A turtle!

A giant turtle that enveloped the entire world. To be precise, it was the legendary divine beast Xuanwu.

On the head of the Xuanwu, stood a peerlessly beautiful fairy lady. She was dressed in red, her eyes were hazy, her lips slightly parted, so captivating. With every smile and every glance, she exuded infinite charm...
