Qin Wentian felt that time flowed by very quickly. In these two days, he had been madly cultivating, and at the same time, comprehending 2nd level Divine Inscriptions. After expending two Yuan Meteor Stones, he finally stepped into the 7th level of the Body Refinement Realm. The Astral Energy from his Astral Body flowed through his internal organs, and his aura grew stronger and stronger. Each and every breath he took seemed to contain a surge of essence, Qi, and Spirit, and a casual punch of his was capable of unleashing the strength of 50 bulls. Qin Wentian couldn't wait for more time to increase his cultivation and strength.
However, to the people of the Qin Residence, every day felt like a year. Outside, the attacks of the three Knight Regiments grew more and more ferocious. At every moment, there would be people losing their lives. The pressure and the flames of hatred had already reached the peak. A voice rang out from within the Qin Residence. "Kill our way out, no matter the cost. Even if we die, we'll drag them down with us."
Qin Chuan didn't agree. Instead, he gathered all the clan members together and paid their respects to the portrait of their ancestor Qin Wu in the ancestral hall. Today was the day of the annual sacrifice. The Qin Clan's old grandfather, Qin Hao, also came out.
After paying their respects to the ancestors, the members of the Qin Clan departed from the Ancestral Hall. As they walked through the Qin Clan, some of the clan members passed by, carrying a corpse. Someone couldn't help but shout out, "Grandfather, kill him! If this continues, we'll be trapped here until we die."
"No need, the one they want is me. I have already contacted a few old friends from the past. Once I am taken as a prisoner and brought to the imperial city, they will send their army from the border." Qin Hao's voice was calm. "As long as I am in their hands, those people will feel at ease."
"Father, that won't do. The Qin Clan cannot allow Father to take such a risk." Qin Chuan shook his head. What the Qin Clan's Patriarch meant was that Qin Chuan wanted to walk into a trap and sacrifice himself.
"The empire that your grandfather fought for has already declined in my hands. I can't watch it be destroyed." Qin Hao laughed. After which, he walked to the side of Qin Wentian and the rest, patting Qin Wentian's head as he kindly stated, "Protect Wentian and the rest well. Nothing must happen to them."
Qin Chuan's eyes were bloodshot as he nodded heavily.
"Grandpa Qin." Qin Wentian felt a burst of sorrow. Could it be that the Qin Clan really couldn't survive this calamity?
"Grandfather, Clan Lord, the people from the Star River Association have arrived." At this moment, someone came to report, causing Qin Wentian to be startled. A glimmer of hope rose in his heart. Perhaps there would be a turning point.
"Invite him in." Qin Chuan spoke. An instant later, they saw a few silhouettes walking over. Not only that, the people behind them were all carrying large bags on their backs.
"Old Master Qin, my name is Murin. I'm here to look for Young Master Wentian." The person in the lead was none other than Murin, whom Qin Wentian had met before in the Star River Association. Beside him was the arrogant young lady, as well as Francis.
Qin Hao nodded slightly. After that, Qin Wentian walked over and said, "I pay my respects to Grandmaster Murin."
"Qin Wentian, I've seen the divine inscriptions you inscribed. Are you willing to join my Star River Association and become my disciple?" Murin stared at Qin Wentian.
"Master, please have a look."
"If I agree to join the Star River Association and take you as my master, would Grandmaster be able to guarantee the safety of the Qin Clan?" Qin Wentian asked Murin.
Murin froze for a moment, before lightly shaking his head. "The matters of the Qin Clan are extremely complicated. Although I'm in the Star River Association, it's not convenient for me to interfere too much. But as long as you agree, I can bring you safely away from here."
"Wentian, agree to his request." Qin Wu and Qin Chuan both spoke. However, Qin Wentian was extremely disappointed. If he couldn't guarantee the safety of the Qin Clan, what did it mean for him to leave alone? Abandon the Qin Clan and escape alone?
Thinking of this, Qin Wentian shook his head. "Grandmaster Murin, I can't agree."
"Think about it again. As long as you agree, based on your talent, you can have anything you want in the future. You might even have the chance to avenge the Qin Clan." Murin persuaded.
"Wentian." Qin Chuan and the rest stared at Qin Wentian. This child!
However, Qin Wentian still shook his head. "If I can guarantee the safety of the Qin Clan, I will definitely agree."
Murin stared at Qin Wentian, bitterly smiling as he shook his head. "I don't have that much power, but I still don't wish to lose such a talented character. You can first become a guest elder of the Star River Association, and in the future, you can consider whether or not to join the Star River Association. In this case, although I won't be able to interfere in this matter, as long as you all join the Star River Association, I believe no one would dare to act against you."
Qin Wentian's eyes brightened as he bowed to Murin. "Many thanks, Grandmaster Murin. I am willing to become a guest elder of the Star River Association."
"Good, I hope you can come to the Star River Association safe and sound. I will wait for you." Murin patted Qin Wentian on his shoulders, before turning and departing. Francis, who was behind him, waved his hands, and the few people behind him opened up the bags, revealing numerous divine weapons on the ground.
"These are all my belongings. Eight pieces of top-grade, first-level divine weapons, and 37 pieces of mid-grade divine weapons." Francis had brought all the divine weapons he had forged for the past two days here.
"Thanks a lot." Qin Wentian passed a piece of metal sheet with 2nd level Divine Imprints inscribed on it to Francis. After receiving it, Francis left in ecstasy.
"These Divine Weapons can once again increase the strength of our Qin Clan. Wentian, you can choose a few first, the rest will be distributed to Qin Chuan." Qin Hao spoke. Qin Wentian nodded his head. He only chose a single divine weapon, a long spear. The spear was like a dragon, tyrannical and tyrannical, suitable for him.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Qin Hao's figure flickered, rushing out of the Qin Estate.
"Father." Qin Chuan and the rest followed after him. At this moment, the Qin Clan was already in a state of chaos. Those who could only fight were all rushing out of the Qin Residence, while the guards were still guarding their respective positions.
Very quickly, at the entrance of the Qin Residence, Qin Hao walked out. Momentarily, Wu Xiu Luo waved his hands, and everyone halted their steps. However, within the Qin Residence, flames had already soared up to the skies. At the same time, there were experts who directly broke through the walls of the Qin Residence, directly attacking the guards.
Outside the Qin Residence, many people witnessed this scene. It was as though they wanted to witness the destruction of the Qin Clan.
"Wu Xiu Luo, I will leave with you. Spare the people of the Qin Clan." Qin Hao slowly walked towards Wu Xiu Luo and the rest.
"Since old master is so straightforward, I will naturally spare the people of the Qin Clan." Wu Xiu Luo laughed, "But the prerequisite is that I must guarantee that old master will successfully leave with me."
As the sound of his voice faded, two knights wielding long spears appeared beside Qin Hao.
Qin Chuan and the rest clenched their fists tightly. Their bodies were already drenched in sweat, they were extremely nervous.
Abruptly, the long spears in the hands of the two knights pierced out at the same time. Piercing sounds rang out as the long spears pierced through Qin Hao's thighs. The tip of the spear directly penetrated through, causing blood to flow everywhere. Two gigantic holes appeared on Qin Hao's thighs.
"Father!"
"Old master!"
Qin Chuan and the rest roared in rage as they rushed forward, only to hear an explosive shout coming from Qin Hao's mouth, "Halt!"
Only to see Qin Hao lying on the ground, unable to stand up. Qin Chuan and the rest halted, their countenances were ashen, filled with the flames of hatred. Luo Wu Xiu Luo's warhorse arrived beside Qin Hao, staring down at him. That pitch-black countenance of his was filled with ruthlessness. "Old master is truly a man of character. However, I haven't finished my words yet. The prerequisite for me to spare the Qin Clan is that they don't resist. Not only that, I will still bring the core members of the Qin Clan with me."
As the sound of his voice faded, Wu Xiu Luo coldly commanded, "Bring Old Master Qin away!"
Many of the knights pointed their spears at Qin Hao, as they slowly advanced forward, as though they were still afraid of Qin Hao. However, Qin Hao was already powerless to resist, and was escorted away by them. With his back facing the Qin Clan, Qin Hao roared, "Qin Chuan, remember my words."
"Big brother, kill, kill them all." Qin Ye's gaze was filled with wildness, blazing with flames.
"Qin He, Qin Ye, listen to my orders. Bring Qin Yao, Qin Wentian and the rest back." Qin Chuan stared at his father's back, his gaze was ice-cold, yet he was terrifyingly calm. Qin Ye still wanted to say something, but when he saw Qin Chuan turning his head and glancing at him, his heart suddenly trembled. "Big brother, I will definitely bring them away.
Let's go. "As he spoke, he pushed Qin Wentian and the rest back to the Qin Clan. Qin Wentian turned his head and stared at Qin Hao's back, staring at the ice-cold gaze of Wu Xiu Luo.
"As for the others, follow me and kill!" Qin Chuan commanded. In an instant, many of them released their Astral Souls, as they advanced forward. The sounds of metal clashing shook the ground, filled with a sense of tragedy.
The warhorses galloped, and the three squadrons of knights sped towards the Qin Clan. In an instant, a bloody battle erupted.
"Retreat from the west gate. Big brother has already arranged for a squadron of guards to be stationed there." Qin He led the troops as they madly fled. In the midst of the chaos, Qin Wentian and Qin Yao rushed back to their own residence.
"Second Uncle, I will go see my mother. You guys go to the west gate first." Qin Yao's eyes were filled with tears. She had personally witnessed her father's bloody battle, yet she had to flee.
Very quickly, the madly sprinting Qin Wentian and Qin Yao returned to their residence. Qin Yao went to see her mother, while Qin Wentian went to look for Uncle Black. Uncle Black was calmly sitting in the training grounds, as he passed a star-shaped object to Qin Wentian. "Wentian, when your life is in danger, use your Astral Energy to enter this object and activate it."
"Uncle Black, come with me." Qin Wentian wanted to carry Uncle Black on his back and leave, but Uncle Black passed the star-shaped object to him as he stated, "Don't worry, even if the Qin Clan is really breached, the Royal Clan wouldn't be able to afford to lose so much face. They only want the core members of the Qin Clan, they wouldn't care about an idle person like me."
"No way." Qin Wentian knew that Uncle Black was afraid of dragging him down, as he angrily shouted.
"Trust my judgement. After so many years, have you ever seen Uncle Black fail? The flames of the Qin Clan won't be able to reach this place." Only to see Uncle Black laughing as he continued, "Remember, you can only activate it when your life is at stake. Leave quickly, don't implicate the people of the Qin Clan."
Qin Wentian retreated a few steps and knelt in front of Uncle Black. He kowtowed thrice before turning and departing. Uncle Black had raised him for so many years, and had always been a man of his word. Qin Wentian had no way of persuading Uncle Black. Of course, Qin Wentian had another thought. Just like what Uncle Black had said, even if the Qin Clan was breached, the people outside represented the face of the Royal Clan, and they wouldn't go so far as to slaughter the members of the Qin Clan. Uncle Black wasn't an important member of the Qin Clan, but he was someone that they specifically wanted.
