Chapter 478: Chapter 478: Slaying the Inner Demons

Qin Chuan suddenly asked, "Twenty years ago, when the Qin Family was at its zenith, it was wiped out overnight. Is this incident related to the Guardian Hall?"

Upon hearing this, the Great Elder on the other end of the phone broke out in a cold sweat, never having expected that Qin Chuan would suddenly bring up this matter.

That’s right, Qin Chuan also bears the Qin surname!

Could it be that he is a member of the Qin Family that was annihilated twenty years ago?

Thinking of this, the Great Elder uncontrollably began to tremble all over.

Seeing that the Great Elder didn’t speak for a long time, Qin Chuan’s expression immediately darkened, but he didn’t press for an answer and instead continued to wait, waiting for the Great Elder’s response.

After a long while, the Great Elder’s voice finally sounded again, "Mr. Qin, I don’t know what your relationship with the Qin Family is, but I still need to remind you, you should stop investigating the Qin Family’s annihilation. Even if you investigate, you will not find anything, not only will you not find anything, but it could also be life-threatening."

"As for whether the annihilation of the Qin Family is related to Guardian Hall, I can only tell you, I don’t know either."

Qin Chuan was very dissatisfied with such a response and said coldly, "Does the Great Elder believe that I can’t do anything about the Guardian Hall?"

The Great Elder didn’t deny it but said, "Mr. Qin, I know you’re strong, and with your Martial Path talent, should you go to the Ancient Martial World, it won’t be long before you will certainly become a top fighter."

"But what I can tell you with certainty is that the Guardian Hall is very complicated and also very powerful. Although it’s the top Martial Path force in the Secular World, it’s in no way inferior to the top three sects of the Ancient Martial World."

"Because, as far as I know, the strong figures that have appeared from Guardian Hall so far are only the Guardian of the Eight, Seventh Guardian, Six Guardians, and the Fifth Guardian."

"And the cultivation of the Fifth Guardian, if placed in the Ancient Martial World, is top-notch!"

"As for how strong the previous four guardians are, I’m afraid even the top three sects of the Ancient Martial World are not clear, and that’s not the point. The point is, apart from the eight guardians, does the Guardian Hall have any other strong forces? Like, the Hall Master? The Vice Hall Master? Or other strong figures with different titles?"

"Alright, I have told you everything I know, things I should and shouldn’t have said. Please, Mr. Qin, make sure you don’t spread this information."

Listening to the Great Elder talk about these secrets stirred up a storm in Qin Chuan’s heart.

The strength of the Fifth Guardian of the Guardian Hall is already top-notch in the Ancient Martial World?

He knew the Great Elder had no intention of deceiving him, which meant everything the Great Elder said was true.

If so, for him at the moment, the Guardian Hall indeed represented an insurmountable mountain.

After all, with his current strength, even the Seventh Guardian was beyond him, otherwise, he wouldn’t have watched helplessly as the Seventh Guardian took the Guardian of the Eight away.

The Great Elder’s voice sounded again, "Mr. Qin, if there is nothing else, then I will hang up first."

"Thank you!"

Qin Chuan expressed his gratitude and then hung up the phone.

Tang Yue’er looked at Qin Chuan with a worried expression, having vaguely heard some of the conversation between Qin Chuan and the Great Elder.

Even though she had only heard a small part, it shocked her beyond measure.

She really feared that Qin Chuan might impulsively go after the Guardian Hall.

Seemingly sensing Tang Yue’er’s worry, Qin Chuan forced a smile and said, "Don’t worry, I’m not going to do anything foolish."

He truly had no intention of going after the Guardian Hall. Even the Seventh Guardian was beyond him, so what could he do if he found the Guardian Hall?

He had thought himself to be very strong, but suddenly realized that in front of some people, he was nothing but an ant.

Qin Chuan said, "Don’t worry about me. Go on with your tasks; I need to continue cultivating."

Tang Yue’er nodded slightly and then turned and left.

After she left, Qin Chuan immediately entered a state of cultivation again.

He was desperately eager to become stronger, for only when he was powerful enough to instill fear in the Guardian Hall would he truly be considered a strong warrior.

Qin Chuan sighed inwardly, "I hope the destruction of the Qin Family has nothing to do with the Guardian Hall."

"But what if it does?"

Suddenly, a question appeared in his mind.

Qin Chuan fell silent; with his current cultivation, he could only slay the Guardian of the Eight. Even if the Guardian Hall had only eight guardians, there were another seven guardians with even greater strength ahead of the eight.

At that moment, Qin Chuan was suddenly overcome with intense pain. He had promised Qin Nian that he would help her avenge their family, but if the Qin Family’s annihilators were linked to the Guardian Alliance, he would be utterly incapable of helping Qin Nian.

Not only was he in pain, but a sense of urgency also took hold of him.

"Pu!"

He unexpectedly spat out a mouthful of blood, his complexion becoming extremely pale.

Qin Chuan said in astonishment, "Am I experiencing backlash?"

What surprised him was that he had encountered difficulties during cultivation, almost falling into devilry.

After spewing that mouthful of blood, his cultivation level suddenly dropped significantly.

Fortunately, the Qingxuan Spirit Qi immediately began to heal his injuries, preventing them from worsening.

Qin Chuan abruptly stood up, raised his head to the full moon in the sky, and muttered to himself, "My Heart Realm is in disarray, my pace in cultivation is also disrupted; my cultivation has plummeted, and the Guardian Hall looms like a nightmare in my mind..."

"So has the Guardian Hall become my inner demon? If I cannot break through the Guardian Hall, how can I overcome my inner demon?"

As he spoke, a powerful aura erupted from within him, but it was as if Qin Chuan was oblivious to it.

His gaze turned fierce, and he clenched his teeth, saying, "With my current cultivation, how can I destroy the Guardian Hall? If I don’t destroy it, how can I conquer my inner demon?"

"If the inner demon isn’t vanquished, how can my cultivation advance?"

A fierce anger seemed ready to burst forth from within him.

Suppressing the rage clawing at his chest, Qin Chuan looked up to the heavens and roared furiously, "Why must I destroy the Guardian Hall to conquer my inner demon?"

"I was wrong!"

Suddenly, the anger that had enveloped him receded like the tide, and the aura around him surged once more.

Qin Chuan’s expression calmed, his hands clasped behind his back, he gazed up at the moon, and spoke in an even tone, "My mistake was not recognizing myself clearly. For me at present, the Guardian Hall is indeed an insurmountable mountain, but who has ever told me that the future will be the same?"

"If I truly regard the Guardian Hall as an insurmountable mountain, then it will indeed become my inner demon, and I will never in this lifetime surpass the strong warriors of the Guardian Hall, let alone seek vengeance for Nian Nian."

"I am me, not strong enough now doesn’t mean I won’t be in the future, unable to level the Guardian Hall at present doesn’t mean I can’t in the future."

"Facing a powerful opponent, I can hold with reverence, but not with fear. Since I do not fear the Guardian Hall, how can it become my inner demon?"

As his words fell, a tremendous force suddenly erupted from him.

"Boom!"

Qin Chuan’s aura skyrocketed.

Yi Nian, break the inner demon!

In an instant, break the Martial Arts Realm!
