Since They Dared to Make a Move, Wipe Them All Out

Upon seeing that it was indeed Qin Xuanji, Qin Kuangge's eyes, which were as big as Copper Bell, widened even more.

"Second Brother, didn't you say you had important business to attend to, which is why you asked me to look after Ninth Brother?"

Qin Xuanji didn't even glance at Gu Yuan's ashen face, casually brushing off non-existent dust from his sleeves. "Isn't this the important matter?"

"Ninth Brother is still young, and this is his first time entering the Secret Realm, so we must be careful."

Qin Kuangge responded with an "oh," and suddenly a guess popped into his head.

"Could my Eldest Brother be here too?"

"How could that be?" Qin Xuanji interrupted him, a faint smile playing on her lips. "My Eldest Brother's cultivation level is too high; he can't enter this Secret Realm."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly looked up at the sky, a playful glint in his eyes. "So..."

"What has arrived is the Dao Dharma Body."

Outside the Dragon Ruins Forbidden Palace, the Cloud Sea surged.

Hundreds of cultivators, whether they had already or had attacked Qin Wangchuan, knelt down in unison, the sound of their knees shattering the bluestone echoing throughout the room.

Before them, a figure in black sat motionless, his robes perfectly still, not even a hair fluttering.

An invisible pressure descended like the sky collapsing, causing everyone's spines to crack under the unbearable weight.

Some people bled from all seven orifices, some suffered bone deformities, yet no one dared to use their internal energy to resist.

"This... this fellow Daoist..." a man in Green Robe, unaware of what had happened, stammered.

"Bang!"

The words had barely left his mouth when the man's head suddenly exploded, splattering red and white matter onto the pale faces of those around him.

The headless corpse remained kneeling, with blood gushing out like a fountain from the severed neck.

Deathly Stillness.

The monk kneeling at the front row had his crotch soaked through; the urine that had just seeped out was crushed into mist by the oppressive force.

Some people gritted their teeth and swallowed the blood and foam, but dared not make a sound.

Many people don't know who is in front of them, but if they've heard his name, they'll never forget him.

The Qin Clan... is wicked...

If Qin Wangchuan was merely a prodigy, then the person before them was a complete monster.

But why is he here now?

Why would they attack us?

They dared not ask.

No one dared to ask.

In the Gu family's ranks.

Qin Kuangge scratched his head, a simple, honest smile appearing on his rugged face. "So, Second Brother, what are these people trying to do hiding here?"

"They're just petty tricks, best left unmentioned."

Qin Xuanji shook his head and sighed, a hint of dejection flashing in his eyes. "I thought there would be some fun, but I overestimated them."

"So, what should we do with this kid?"

Their conversation echoed through the quiet forest, as if they were casually discussing what to have for dinner.

Gu Yuan's pupils contracted suddenly as he listened, and a chill ran down his spine.

He was completely unaware that an outsider had somehow infiltrated his carefully cultivated personal guard!

Moreover, he is Qin Xuanji, the Second Young Master of the Qin Clan.

Gu Yuan had naturally heard of this person.

Compared to the world-renowned Qin Wudao, he was nothing more than a dispensable supporting character.

But what truly chilled him was the question: just how long had Qin Xuanji been lurking within his ranks?

Was it during the treasure hunt at Dragon Pool? Or when he saved Lu Chen? Or... even earlier?

Could it be before entering the Secret Realm?

Cold sweat slid down Gu Yuan's back.

The Gu Clan had been hidden from the world for too long, and only now did he truly realize that he seemed to have underestimated these Imperial Clan.

Qin Xuanji, who was adjusting his cuffs with his head down, didn't even look up when he heard this. "What else can we do? It's fine for children to be competitive, but they've gone after people they shouldn't have..."

"Destroy it."

These words, spoken so casually, plunged Gu Yuan into an icy abyss.

He stared intently at the two Qin Clan members before him, his throat tightening.

They discussed his life and death right in front of him, as if he were just a lamb to the slaughter, not the future heir of the Gu family.

"Just as I thought." Qin Kuangge suddenly grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth. "I saw another group of people who came in with this kid earlier, but I don't know whose they are..."

Qin Xuanji nodded. "It's the Shenshan Ji Clan."

"Then what should we do?"

"It's destroyed too."

His voice was soft, yet it sent a jolt through Gu Yuan, making his mind reel.

They know everything???

What's even more terrifying is that these two completely ignored him during their conversation.

They didn't even glance at us, as casually as if they were discussing crushing an ant after dinner.

"You..." Gu Yuan's voice trembled, even he could hear the fear in it, "Are you going to start Immortal War?!"

Immortal War!

That's a title only worthy of being bestowed upon Immortal Power engaged in life-or-death battles.

Once it begins, the world will collapse and rivers of blood will flow, and it will not end until one side is completely destroyed!

Gu Yuan's breathing became rapid, and his chest heaved violently.

He couldn't believe that the two people in front of him actually wanted to take on two great Undying Aristocratic Clan at the same time.

This is not just a declaration of war, it's utter contempt!

However, what horrified him even more was—

The Qin Clan brothers merely glanced at him indifferently before resuming their conversation.

"It's the Ji Clan, huh? But I think that kid went into the Dragon Path and hasn't come out since. Could he be dead?" Qin Kuangge stroked his chin, seemingly lost in thought.

"Hmm." Qin Xuanji nodded. "They're most likely dead inside."

The two continued their conversation.

Staying here... will kill me!

Fear overwhelmed his reason like a tidal wave, and Gu Yuan's muscles tensed to their limit.

Just as he turned around—

Before the word "run" was even uttered, the world suddenly turned upside down.

In Gu Yuan's last vision, he saw his headless body still in the posture of fleeing, the splattered blood congealing into a poignant arc in the air.

His consciousness began to fade, but he could still feel his head being held by a cold hand.

It's Qin Xuanji.

When did he make his move?

"The Immortal War?" Qin Xuanji's voice seemed to come from a great distance, tinged with sarcasm. "You don't even know about the alliance? You think too highly of yourself, don't you?"

This was the last thing Gu Yuan heard.

Covenant?

The alliance among the Ten Great Imperial Clans essentially boils down to one thing.

Unless they deliberately commit a crime, the Three Great Heavenly Emperors cannot take action against the Imperial Clan Alliance.

In short, it means that the Three Heavenly Emperors jointly protect the ten clans.

However, the Gu family, the Ji Clan, and other miscellaneous Lineage forces are not included.

The Immortal War will end as soon as the Heavenly Emperor intervenes.

Even if the Heavenly Emperor doesn't intervene.

With the Qin Clan's resources alone, crushing two reclusive, Undying Aristocratic Clan would be as easy as snapping their fingers.

Undying is a thing of the past; now it is the era of the Imperial Clan.

"I wonder what Ninth Brother means by this?"

After saying this, Qin Xuanji sighed softly and looked up at the sky.

At this moment, Qin Wangchuan had already rushed out of the Secret Realm under the watchful eyes of Li Qingluan, Li Xuan, Chu Wujiu, and others.

Everyone watched this scene, except for one person.

In the underground ruins of the Dragon Ruins Forbidden Palace, Zhou Yunyi crawled out of the rubble, covered in dust and dirt, clutching a lustrous Jade Pendant tightly in his hand.

"I've won the lottery!"

He wiped the dust off his face and examined it carefully in the dim light.

The Jade Pendant is engraved with the ancient character "Qin" on the front and a "nine" character in a flamboyant style on the back.

"Qin Wangchuan's personal Jade Pendant..." Zhou Yunyi's eyes gleamed, his fingertips stroking the smooth jade surface. "I told you following him would be useful! Although I don't know why it was lost here, as long as I can get it back to report, that's fine."

"Go home!"

"Once this mission is complete, I can stay home and rest for at least a month!"
