"Young Master Qin, the men I sent out have returned."
After Lei Xinghe and his group left, Zhangsun Xian reported.
"Where is he?"
"Ask him to come over immediately!"
Qin Yang was getting anxious.
"Yes!"
Zhangsun Xian left. Soon enough, a middle-aged man arrived in front of Qin Yang. This middle-aged man was at the Primary Sea Realm and was one of Zhangsun Xian's trusted subordinates.
"Greetings to Young Master Qin."
The middle-aged man bowed deeply.
There was no one else in the room. Qin Yang spoke in a deep voice, "Hurry up and tell me about my father, Qin Hai, and my mother, Xie Yan. What is the situation now?"
The middle-aged man hesitated.
"Just say what you want to say. Hurry up."
The middle-aged man coughed softly and said, "Young Master Qin, my journey was rather smooth. I arrived at the 13th district of Donghuang, Purple Mystic City in about a month."
"Initially, I only heard some news about Qin Hai. Qin Hai is now at the Essence Core Realm and has a rather high status in the Qin clan. However, he is restricted and cannot leave the Qin Residence. This has been going on for more than ten years!"
Qin Yang didn't have any change in expression. He knew that Qin Hai was restricted and couldn't leave.
"Xie Yan was brought back by the Qin clan's Qin Lan. The Qin clan allowed Xie Yan to enter a mystic realm. That mystic realm is rather decent, but it has a special characteristic. Once you enter, you will only be safe for three months!"
"If you are still in there after three months, there will be all sorts of troubles. If you are in there for more than four months, there will be considerable risks. If you are in there for more than five months, there will be extreme risks. If you are in there for half a year, there will basically be no way for you to survive."
"Right now … it has already been four months."
Qin Yang frowned. He knew about this mystic realm. It was a mystic realm that belonged to the Qin clan. Every year, it would bring in plenty of income for the Qin clan!
This mystic realm wasn't as good as the mystic realm that Qin Yang and his group entered, but it was still considered decent.
There were some terrifying things in the secret land. If one had been in there for less than three months, these things would not come out. It was very safe. However, if one had been in there for more than three months, the longer it was, the greater the possibility that these things would come out.
When the Secret Realm was discovered, these items were already inside. Qin Yang guessed that this was a protective measure set up by ancient experts to prevent them from finding a place to hide in the Secret Realm and cultivating for an extremely long time. After they finished cultivating, they wouldn't even give them any money!
"It has already been four months!"
Qin Yang mumbled to himself. His eyes were filled with worry. He had to hurry to the 13th district of Donghuang, to the Violet Mystic City.
"The Qin family wants Qin Hai to agree?"
"Then what did Qin Hai do?"
That middle-aged man said, "Young Master Qin, I heard that Qin Hai caused trouble in the Qin clan twice, but it was to no avail. Qin Hai might be at the 6th-grade Origin Core Realm and is rather formidable, but the Qin clan has close to 10 8th-grade Primary Sea Realm experts. It is useless for Qin Hai to cause trouble."
"As for Xie Yan, the Qin clan said that if Xie Yan were to yield, then they would ring a bell inside. But when I left, Xie Yan didn't ring the bell. I don't know what happened now. I spent over 20 days on the road to get here."
Qin Yang asked, "Do you have any news about the Sikong Clan?"
The middle-aged man remained silent.
"Speak."
"When Xie Yan was brought to the Qin clan by Qin Lan, a woman named Sikong Yan went to the Qin clan and gave Xie Yan two slaps in public. She even said that after she came out of seclusion, if Xie Yan still didn't yield, she would go to the Qin clan to kill Xie Yan."
Qin Yang had an unpleasant expression.
"What's Sikong Yan's cultivation level?"
"Young Master Qin, Sikong Yan had a fortuitous encounter. She should be less than 40 years old now, but her cultivation level is already at Level Six of the Nascent Soul Realm. She went into seclusion to enter a secret place in the Sikong Clan. She was allowed to stay there for five months. Now, more than three months have passed!"
"I estimate that when Sikong Yan comes out, she will at least be at Level Seven of the Nascent Soul Realm. She might even reach Level Eight of the Nascent Soul Realm."
Sikong Yan was indeed very strong to have such a cultivation level even though she was less than 40 years old. This also gave her a very high status in the Sikong Clan.
The Sikong Clan was a grade-eight force!
The number of experts and resources they possessed was much more than the Qin Clan.
The Qin clan wanted to form a marriage alliance with the Sikong Clan and obtain their help to reach grade-eight. However, it was extremely difficult!
Even if they were to form a marriage alliance, the Sikong Clan might not be willing to help the Qin clan raise their cultivation level!
"What else?"
Qin Yang asked.
The middle-aged man whispered, "Si Kongyan also said that if Xie Yan and Qin Hai still don't agree at that time, she will send people to capture Young Master Qin and chop you into a hundred pieces in front of them!"
"Is there any other important news?"
"There is nothing else, Young Master Qin.
Qin Yang nodded gently, "Thank you for your hard work."
Qin Yang produced an elixir in his hand. It was a grade-six elixir and was very useful for Primary Sea Realm experts.
"This is a reward for you!"
Qin Yang tossed the elixir bottle to the Primary Sea Realm expert. That expert was excited, but he quickly said, "Young Master Qin, I cannot accept this. Sage Elder asked me to go over. Sage Elder has already rewarded me!"
"This is my reward for you. Take it!"
"Many thanks, Young Master Qin."
The middle-aged man excused himself. He was very excited. The round trip would only take slightly more than two months. The reward that he received would be more than what he could earn in a few years.
"I have to head to the 13th district of Donghuang. I have to depart in two days!"
Qin Yang had a gloomy expression. He called for Lei Xinghe and rode on a grade-seven demonic beast. The speed was much faster, but it would still take over ten days to reach the other side!
Xie Yan had already been in the mystic realm for four months.
If he delayed any longer, Xie Yan might die in there.
"Si Kongyan, just you wait!"
Qin Yang's heart was surging with killing intent. She beat up his mother and even said that she would chop him into pieces in front of Xie Yan and the others. Si Kongyan's name was already on the death list in Qin Yang's heart!
"Everyone get ready. We are going to make a long trip!"
"The time is within these two days!"
Qin Yang's voice echoed in the minds of Xiao Junwan and the others. Xiao Junwan and the others were making use of the time to consolidate their cultivation.
There was nothing else to prepare.
…
"Open!"
Lei Xinghe spoke in a deep voice. He had arrived at the Colored Glass Cave.
Zhang Qinglan was standing beside him.
Lei Xinghe's strength was formidable and had defeated Duanmu Yan. Furthermore, he knew that Lei Zhan was now at the seventh level of the Essence Core Realm. Zhang Qinglan had already declared that between Zhang Zhengping and Lei Xinghe, Lei Xinghe would support Lei Xinghe more.
Once such a declaration was made, it wouldn't be easily changed. A fence-sitter would die quickly.
With Zhang Qinglan's support, Lei Xinghe wasn't worried that Zhang Zhengping would do anything to him.
The black iron door that was over one meter thick gradually opened. Zhang Zhengping, Gu Yongnian, and many other experts passed through the door.
"City Lord Lei, long time no see!"
Zhang Zhengping said coldly. As he spoke, a powerful aura erupted from his body. Those around Lei Xinghe weren't prepared and were immediately pushed back a few steps by the aura.
"Palace Lord, it hasn't been long."
Lei Xinghe was shocked. Zhang Zhengping hadn't improved much for more than ten years. Now, he had improved so much!
However, shock didn't appear on Lei Xinghe's face. Lei Xinghe also released his aura to resist the aura.
"City Lord Lei, you haven't reached the Eight Stars Realm. Your combat strength has only increased!"
Zhang Zhengping's eyes lit up.
There were two advantages to this situation for Zhang Zhengping.
Firstly, Zhang Zhengping's endurance was stronger with his Eight Stars Realm cultivation!
Secondly, a person at the ninth level of the seventh level might be stuck there for a long time. Zhang Zhengping's talent had improved. In the next one or two years, Zhang Zhengping was confident that he could increase his cultivation by another level and reach the fifth level of the Dharma Physique realm!
What Zhang Zhengping didn't know was that as long as he was willing to spend resources, Lei Xinghe was confident that he could break through to the Dharma Physique realm within a month!
"Congratulations to the Palace Lord for increasing your strength!"
Lei Xinghe cupped his hands. He looked at Gu Yongnian and frowned secretly. Gu Yongnian was probably more supportive of Zhang Zhengping now.
Gu Yongnian was an Eight Stars Realm cultivator.
Although he had Zhang Qinglan's support, the combination of Lei Xinghe and Zhang Qinglan was weaker than the combination of Gu Yongnian and Zhang Zhengping.
In terms of righteousness, they didn't have the advantage.
Zhang Zhengping was the Palace Lord of Colored Glaze Holy City.
