Redeeming Treasures, Qin Luo Must Die!

Everyone was dumbstruck; even Su Qianchen was taken aback.

Qin Luo had done so much, only to end up with nothing?

No... Qin Feng said to himself. He offended Qin Yun, Chu Heng of the Demon Suppression Bureau, and the Myriad Phenomena Sacred Land. He didn't end up with nothing—he gained a great deal of hostility.

"And now, the Gu Family's hatred should be added to that!"

By killing Gu Qingxue, Qin Luo had plainly offended the Gu Family to the bitter end. Though the Gu Family had only one Saint Realm expert, Gu Yanting had many disciples. They could still make things difficult for Qin Luo.

"Qin Luo, Qin Luo, I thought you were some mighty dragon. Looking at you now, you're nothing but a rabid dog."

"What a pity about Gu Qingxue. Such a beautiful woman actually died." Qin Feng looked at Gu Qingxue, lying in a pool of blood with her eyes still open, and found it deeply regrettable.

Chen Mo, standing beside him, felt as though he had been struck by lightning. Gu Qingxue was dead? The goddess in his heart was actually dead?

Was he heartbroken? Perhaps a little. But more than that, he lamented that he had turned himself into a joke.

He recalled many things and realized that Gu Qingxue only ever smiled at him when she had use for him. At all other times, she kept him at arm's length.

Just as Qin Luo had said, he was nothing but a lapdog.

Qin Luo's gaze shifted to Chen Mo. He pointed at Gu Qingxue. "Why don't you take her away?"

"While she's still warm."

Holy shit!

Quite a few people were stunned.

At once, strange gazes fell upon Chen Mo.

Chen Mo felt goosebumps rise all over his body. It was true that he was no saint, but he had not fallen so low as to become such a beast!

If word of this got out, how was Chen Mo supposed to face anyone again?

"Hehe, Ninth Prince, are you insulting me?" Chen Mo forced himself to stand tall and spoke coldly to Qin Luo.

"Yes." Qin Luo's straightforward answer left Chen Mo in an awkward spot.

Was he supposed to slap Qin Luo in the face next? But this man before him was someone who even dared slap a princess in the face.

"Hmph!" Chen Mo flicked his sleeve and left.

Qin Feng gave Qin Luo a deep look, then said with a smile, "Since Ninth Brother is in such a hurry to enter the bridal chamber, Eighth Brother won't delay you any longer."

He had indirectly helped Chen Mo vent some anger.

"Take care, no need to see you out!" Qin Luo had no intention of retorting, making Qin Feng's punch feel as though it had landed on cotton.

The moment Qin Feng stepped out of Qin Luo's residence, his expression darkened.

"Today, my Ninth Brother truly stole all the limelight. By tomorrow, his deeds will surely have spread throughout the Imperial Capital."

"Find a few people and embellish today's events before spreading them around."

"I'd like to see exactly how my dear elder sister intends to deal with our little brother."

There was no family affection within the royal house. To be honest, he wished Qin Luo would die tomorrow. Not just this younger brother—even if all his elder brothers died too, that would be even better!

After everyone had left, Qin Luo immediately opened the System.

[Exchange Price: 150000 Villain Points]

"Hm?" Qin Luo frowned. His grandfather had little lifespan left?

"Exchange them! Exchange them all!"

[Exchange successful!]

The Azure Edge Sword was in hand, he had mastered the Life-and-Death Seal, and he had obtained the Black Tortoise Spiritual Essence as well.

The first thing Qin Luo did after receiving the Black Tortoise Spiritual Essence was seek out Su Qianchen.

"Grandfather, I obtained this Black Tortoise Spiritual Essence by chance. I heard it can prolong one's life and improve one's health. I have no use for it, so I'll give it to you."

Su Qianchen was stunned. Looking at the porcelain bottle in Qin Luo's hand, he faintly sensed an intense aura of life emanating from within it.

He had originally been a man destined to die. Yet after lying dormant for many years, he had unexpectedly awakened and even improved his cultivation.

But his Origin Essence had already been damaged, and he truly did not have much lifespan left.

When he returned this time, he had intended to take revenge. Unfortunately, he had not learned any information about his enemies from the Qin Emperor.

The Qin Emperor had also given Su Qianchen some treasures that could prolong life, but their effects had been minimal.

Any treasure capable of extending one's lifespan was extraordinarily valuable. Once any faction acquired one, they would naturally conceal it with all their might, treating it as part of their family's foundation.

With an elder in the house, it was like possessing a treasure. What family did not have a few old people standing with one foot in the grave?

He gave Qin Luo a deep look. He felt that he could no longer understand this grandson of his.

But...

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Children and grandchildren have their own fortunes. Isn't it better if I can't see through him?"

Taking the Black Tortoise Spiritual Essence, Su Qianchen immediately began absorbing and refining it.

Qin Luo entered his room and began devouring Gu Qingxue's Origin Power.

As for Lin Xuan's Origin Power, it was too powerful to devour within a short time.

The time for the Bloodline Baptism was fast approaching, and he could not afford to waste too much time.

Gu Family.

Gu Yanting learned from others that his daughter had been killed. Staggering, he collapsed into a chair.

He had gained a daughter in his old age. She had been the pearl in his palm; he feared she would fall if he held her in his hand, feared she would melt if he kept her in his mouth.

Otherwise, he would never have personally begged the Qin Emperor to change his mind over her marriage.

Though he had ultimately weighed the pros and cons and could only send his daughter to Qin Luo as a concubine, that did not mean he had wanted his daughter to die!

Pfft! Gu Yanting spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Qin Luo, you are so vicious!" Gu Yanting clutched his chest and roared in agony.

"Father!" Gu Yanting's son, Gu Qingfeng, entered from outside. He too had heard the terrible news and had come to confirm it with his father. Seeing his father in this state, how could he possibly fail to understand?

His younger sister was dead!

"Father, we must avenge Little Sister!" Gu Qingfeng said through gritted teeth.

When Gu Qingxue had been born, he was already over thirty. It could be said that he had watched Gu Qingxue grow up, being both brother and father to her.

"But he is a prince." Gu Yanting's tone was sorrowful.

A Saint Realm expert who could not even avenge his own daughter—he felt utterly useless.

"He is merely one of the princes! Besides, the Great Qin Dynasty is not the only force in this world that can stand shoulder to shoulder with it!" Gu Qingfeng said with a savage expression.

He had originally received the news and come to find a way to stop his younger sister's marriage. Who would have thought this terrible news would arrive instead? How could he accept it?

"Father, shouldn't princes of the Great Qin Dynasty take posts in the government offices or the military?"

"Find a way to send him to the Demon Suppression Bureau or the border army!"

The Great Qin Dynasty had been founded upon martial strength. Strength was revered above all; strength stood above all else.

All high-ranking officials were Saint Realm experts!

All marquises, including those with hereditary titles that could never be revoked, could only be succeeded by Saint Realm experts!

If no Saint Realm expert appeared among their descendants, they could at most retain their title for three generations. After three generations, they would be stripped of their title and reduced to commoners.

It was not as though princes had never died before!

Before this generation's Qin Emperor ascended the throne, there had been seven princes! Yet after the Qin Emperor took the throne, only two brothers remained!

All the rest had died!
