The Secret Behind It, Let Commander Lu Uphold Justice!

Everyone knew that Chen Zhanshan's grandson had died because of Qin Luo. Yet now Chen Zhanshan was actually making a move for Qin Luo. Everyone found it unbelievable.

"The farce should be over," Qin Luo said indifferently.

Once Chen Zhanshan, a Saint King Realm expert, made his move, the female Saint Realm cultivator was naturally no match for him. With the Human Emperor Banner assisting as well, she was soon forced to her knees.

Pfft! The woman spat out a mouthful of blood and knelt on the ground with a savage expression.

"Chen Zhanshan, your grandson died because of the Great Qin Dynasty's imperial conflict, yet you still serve the Great Qin Dynasty like a dog! How vile!"

Slap! Chen Zhanshan viciously struck her across the face.

Her black veil fell away, revealing a fairly beautiful face to everyone.

"Tell us where you come from, and I can spare you some suffering," Chen Zhanshan said coldly.

"Dream on!" the woman said haughtily.

"I admit I lost today, but someday, someone will avenge me!"

Her gaze fell on Qin Luo, and she sneered. "Do you know whose man Men Sandao is?"

"Let me go, and I'll tell you who Men Sandao works for, and who wants to kill you!"

Before she could finish speaking, Men Sandao dropped to his knees with a thud.

"Your Highness the Ninth Prince, spare my life! It was all the Eighth Prince's order! He wanted me to kill you—it was him!"

Bang! Bang! Bang! Men Sandao kowtowed as if pounding garlic, making the woman's mouth twitch.

"His background is unimportant. I only want to know yours, and your purpose."

"Let me go, and I can tell you a secret. Otherwise, what awaits you will be endless pursuit and slaughter!"

The woman was still bargaining.

With a wave of Qin Luo's hand, the scene shifted, and they entered the Human Emperor Banner.

"Extract her Origin Power!" Qin Luo said coldly.

"As you wish!" Xi Huang said icily.

"What are you trying to do? Don't!" the female Saint Realm cultivator cried out. The next moment, Xi Huang made her move. Her Origin was extracted, and she perished!

No! The female Saint Realm cultivator roared, her face twisted with fury, but she could not change the outcome.

She was dead—truly dead. A phantom soul drifted out.

Her venomous gaze fell upon Qin Luo and the others.

"I will wait for you properly down below! You will die—you will all die!"

"You have no idea what the thing in your hands really is. With that thing, you will never know peace for the rest of your life!"

"It is a little too early to speak your last words," Qin Luo said indifferently, the Soul-Beating Whip appearing in his hand.

"Let me do it." Xi Huang sounded eager to try.

Qin Luo glanced at her. "Beg me."

Xi Huang looked at Qin Luo with resentment. "Please, let me do it, okay?"

Qin Luo shuddered all over. Holy shit, that woman's voice was too seductive. She had even learned to use a cutesy baby voice!

"Fine!"

"You do it. I want to know everything I want to know!"

With a wave of Qin Luo's hand, both the Soul-Binding Rope and the Soul-Beating Whip landed in Xi Huang's hands.

Xi Huang's face was brimming with excitement as she obtained the two items.

The expression on her face as she looked at the woman's phantom soul made the latter shiver with dread.

"Next, I will let you know that death is the thing you will crave most."

"Death is not frightening. What is truly frightening is wanting to die but being unable to!"

Before long, the female Saint Realm cultivator began begging for mercy.

No!

"Please, spare me! Spare me!"

"I don't—I don't want to, I don't want to..."

At last... the woman could no longer endure it.

"I'll talk! I'll tell you everything! Spare me, spare me!"

From her, Qin Luo learned who was behind it all. It was not the Myriad Phenomena Sacred Land—or rather, not entirely the Myriad Phenomena Sacred Land.

It was a mysterious organization: the Hidden Dragon Society!

And the item in Qin Luo's possession was the Dragon's Reverse Scale!

"What is this thing used for?" Qin Luo asked.

"According to legend, the Dragon's Reverse Scale is the most important scale on a dragon's body. To a certain extent, one can even use the Dragon's Reverse Scale to forcibly form a contract with a dragon and enslave a Divine Dragon!"

"The Great Qin Dynasty has a dragon—a living dragon!"

This news was too shocking.

A living dragon! The Great Qin Dynasty was practically defying the heavens.

"I guess that dragon is in the Imperial Capital, perhaps even in the Demon Suppression Bureau of the Imperial Capital, right?" Qin Luo asked.

The fact that Lin Xuan had joined the Demon Suppression Bureau was enough to show it. The Demon Suppression Bureau's 108th Layer Heavenly Prison might very well be holding the Divine Dragon on one of its levels.

"I don't know. That is all I know."

"Fine, then you can die in peace now."

Qin Luo spoke coldly to Xi Huang. "Destroy her soul. I want the purest Soul Origin!"

Xi Huang frowned. "Absorbing another's soul is ultimately not the righteous path."

"This is an order!" Qin Luo said coldly.

The sense of urgency struck again. He had to break through!

After putting away the Human Emperor Banner, he returned to the outside world and said solemnly to Chen Zhanshan, "Find a secluded place. I am going into seclusion!"

To everyone's disbelief, Chen Zhanshan respectfully cupped his fists. "It has already been prepared. Your Highness may follow me."

The other members of the Demon Suppression Bureau were horrified at the sight. A Saint King Realm expert was treating a prince who had redeemed himself through meritorious service in such a manner. They felt as though they no longer recognized this world.

"Oh, right." Qin Luo turned to the others. "You have seen too much today."

"So I will give you a choice: submit to me completely, or go accompany them."

There was nothing to hesitate over. Everyone was branded by Qin Luo with a Life-and-Death Seal.

The Origin of everyone who had come to assassinate Qin Luo was extracted by Xi Huang. Their souls were also processed through a special secret technique, leaving behind only seemingly pure Soul Origin.

Qin Luo took out the Divine Dragon Blood Essence and all of Lin Xuan's Origin. He was going to break through in cultivation! He would leap into the Spirit Transformation Realm—and not merely the first layer of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

"Send Men Sandao's head to the Eighth Prince's residence!"

"And send this fellow's head to the Princess's residence!"

"Tell them that since they dared declare war, there will be only one outcome from now on: an endless fight to the death!"

"It is not that I, Qin Luo, disregard the bonds of blood. They are the ones who crossed the line!"

"Send Gu Qingfeng's head to the Demon Suppression Bureau. Tell them Gu Qingfeng intended to murder this prince!"

"If the Demon Suppression Bureau does not handle this impartially, then after I return to the Imperial Capital, I will settle accounts with them one by one!"

"Oh, right. Go find Commander Lu Cang and Commander Chu Heng, and have them uphold justice for me!"
