The Mysterious Organization Heavenly Tribulation and the Vicious Beauty Lady Chen

After a moment's contemplation,

Gu Xuanjin instructed,

"Uncle Ji, prepare a few gifts for me, and bring a few people along.

We're going to the Longevity Qin Clan.

It's Grandfather's birthday.

Now that I have some free time, I have to pay him a visit, as his grandson."

Ji Song nodded. "I understand."

Then he turned and left.

A thoughtful look appeared in Gu Xuanjin's eyes.

His uncle Qin Wusheng belonged to his grandfather's clan leader branch.

Qin Lingkong, on the other hand, was only from a collateral branch.

They were not related by blood, so Gu Xuanjin had no need for scruples when making a move against him.

A moment later,

Gu Xuanjin slowly rose, a cold glint flashing through his eyes.

Since Qin Lingkong had yet to return, there was no need for him to come back at all.

Gu Xuanjin snapped his fingers.

The next moment,

The tranquil void beside him abruptly shattered.

Three figures clad in ink-black armor stepped out.

They wore different masks, resembling gods and demons alike.

The one leading them from the middle

Was a tall, slender young woman with a strikingly beautiful, icy face.

All three were at the Peak Quasi-Emperor Realm.

Their presences were incomparably powerful, yet so cold that souls could not help trembling.

Looking at the woman in the lead,

Gu Xuanjin said calmly,

"Go to the Heavenly Yu Divine Kingdom and deal with Qin Lingkong.

Don't expose your identities.

It would be best to strike amid the chaos while he's fighting those experts from the Great Qian Imperial Dynasty."

The woman's beautiful, icy face was impassive.

Only when Gu Xuanjin looked at her did her expression stir slightly.

But she merely nodded, without asking why.

She then led the other two into the void, where they vanished.

The three came from Heavenly Tribulation, an organization of the Gu Clan dedicated to assassination and hunting.

Moreover, they were among its finest and had successfully completed many missions.

An icy light flickered in Gu Xuanjin's eyes.

Under normal circumstances,

An ordinary Quasi-Emperor naturally could not withstand a coordinated attack from three Peak Quasi-Emperor experts.

But Qin Lingkong was the father of a child of destiny, after all.

Who knew whether an expert might also appear at a critical moment and rescue him?

Just in case,

Gu Xuanjin took out a deep-black token engraved with the words "Heavenly Tribulation."

He infused it with magical power.

An enormous, ancient gateway materialized before him.

It was pitch-black and fathomless, covered in countless sinister runes and wreathed in endless black Qi.

The next second,

Someone slowly opened the gateway.

The boundless black Qi around it churned.

The roars and wails of countless malicious ghosts rang out.

From behind the gate,

A figure stepped forth.

He was tall and lean, wearing a black mask fashioned into the face of a malevolent ghost.

The presence surrounding him was powerful and oppressive, boundlessly cold.

One of Heavenly Tribulation's four deputy commanders, an unrivaled expert at the Peak Great Emperor Realm!

Sha Star!

His eyes were sinister and coldly arrogant.

Looking at the youth before him, who seemed as unattainable as a banished immortal,

Sha Star lowered his proud head.

He bowed slightly in a respectful salute.

"What are your orders, Divine Son?"

Gu Xuanjin stood with his hands behind his back.

He spoke indifferently.

"Go to the Azure Heaven Dao Domain as well.

If anything unexpected happens while those three are dealing with Qin Lingkong,

Step in and handle it."

"Understood."

Sha Star acknowledged the order.

He transformed into a mass of sinister black Qi and disappeared into the void, leaving not a trace behind.

A thoughtful look appeared in Gu Xuanjin's eyes.

His father was at the Qin Clan.

He was already a supreme expert at the Half-Step Void Immortal Realm.

With his grandfather and the other experts there, they had more than enough power to suppress and kill the experts of Qin Hao's branch.

So, after a moment's contemplation,

Gu Xuanjin ultimately dismissed the idea of bringing a few old ancestors along.

The main thing was that, if his guess was right,

Qin Hao had the Heavenly Emperor template.

According to the plot,

Qin Hao might already have been sent to the lower realm.

And he might already have at his side a being from the Immortal Realm who had descended to the mortal world while gravely injured,

A protector who was at least an Immortal King, and might even be an Immortal Emperor.

Even if Gu Xuanjin called on all the old ancestors, it would be no use.

He had only two choices.

Either he had the system intervene,

Or he summoned a mighty figure from the Gu Clan in the Immortal Realm.

But having the system erase a being who was at least an Immortal King

Might be easy for the system.

The price he himself would have to pay, however, would clearly be no small matter.

So, after weighing his options for a moment,

Gu Xuanjin chose to summon a mighty figure from the Gu Clan in the Immortal Realm when the time came.

In any case, the ancestor who had given him the Abyssal Blowing Snow

Had previously left a sword Dao imprint inside him.

He could contact the ancestor at any time and ask him to descend.

If anything else unexpected happened, it would not be too late to use the system then.

Having sorted out his thoughts,

Gu Xuanjin stepped out of the Dao Evolution Hall.

Outside the hall,

Nine enormous, ferocious black dragons coiled in the void overhead.

They blotted out the sky and sun, their oppressive might violent and tyrannical.

Together, they pulled a majestic, resplendent divine palace behind them.

When Gu Xuanjin appeared,

Clear dragon roars rang out across the sky.

At the same time,

A gleaming white avenue formed from laws extended down from the divine palace.

Lü Yifei and Ji Song waited ahead with forty or fifty Divine Martial Guards.

"Welcome, Divine Son!"

The crowd bowed respectfully and shouted in unison, their momentum soaring into the heavens.

Ji Song and Lü Yifei followed Gu Xuanjin aboard the divine palace.

The Divine Martial Guards, meanwhile, mounted their respective ferocious beasts and soared into the sky.

They followed in orderly formation a short distance behind the divine palace.

A moment later,

This procession, whose oppressive might surpassed all under heaven and whose bearing was utterly domineering,

Set off in a grand procession toward the cross-domain teleportation array.

Meanwhile,

In the Qin Clan of the Azure Heaven Dao Domain,

Inside a grand, lavish room decorated in an antique style,

A young man stared furiously at the woman before him.

The man appeared to be in his thirties, with a resolute and handsome face.

He was Gu Xuanjin's uncle, one of the Qin Clan's two great talents of the past, and the clan leader, Qin Wusheng!

The woman, meanwhile, was twenty-seven or twenty-eight, with a breathtakingly beautiful, flawless face.

She was Qin Wusheng's wife, Lady Chen!

Qin Wusheng had only just returned from settling matters in the Northern Domain

When he heard his wife say

That she had taken the Luo Heaven Immortal Bone from Qin Lingkong's son, Qin Hao,

And transplanted it into their own son, Qin Jingyu!

To Qin Wusheng, the news was a bolt from the blue.

Their Qin Clan could have had two young prodigies.

They had already gained a chance to restore their former glory.

But now his wife had destroyed that chance with her own hands!

Qin Wusheng's chest heaved violently, his anger at its peak.

He felt as though he might faint from rage.

He never could have imagined

That the wife who shared his bed

Would one day prove to have the heart of a snake and a scorpion!

Qin Hao was only three or four years old.

Yet someone had forcibly torn open his body and removed a bone from within him.

What despairing agony that must have been!

Qin Wusheng could even imagine

How furious Qin Lingkong and his branch would be if they learned the news.

It might even throw the entire Qin Clan into turmoil!

His head aching, Qin Wusheng rubbed his temples.

"Wife, how could you be so muddleheaded?!

Hao'er is still so little. How could you bring yourself to do it?!

Besides, Yu'er was born with the Divine Eyes of Fate.

They see through illusion, shatter fate, and destroy all things.

He was already destined to be invincible!

Why would he need the power of the Luo Heaven Immortal Bone?!

And if Qin Lingkong and his branch find out,

How could they possibly swallow this insult?"
