Chapter 486: Chapter 486 I Want Him Dead

"Your father really played a good game of chess."

Qin Chuan ignored Long Jieming’s praise and said coldly, "He and you operated on separate fronts. If he could unite several major families to move against me, if I died, he would clear his disgrace and continue as his heir."

"But if I survived, and had the support of the Ancient Martial World, even if he died, as long as you could forge a connection with me, the Long Family would still have a chance to survive."

Hearing Qin Chuan’s words, Long Jieming’s eyes widened in horror.

He never expected Qin Chuan to not only guess it was Long Teng who told him to act this way but even guessed Long Teng’s intentions.

"I, I..."

Long Jieming’s body trembled violently, wanting to deny Qin Chuan’s guess, wanting to explain, but his fear rendered him unable to utter a complete sentence, his whole body went limp.

Tang Yue’er’s eyes were full of murderous intent, the Long Family actually dared to target Qin Chuan.

She turned to Qin Chuan and said, "Big Brother Qin, let me say this, we should directly attack the Long Family, wipe out the Long Family first, to deter others from targeting you."

Hearing her words, Long Jieming almost wet himself with fear—this woman has King Realm Cultivation! If she really went to the Long Family, even if she couldn’t eradicate the Long Family, she could still inflict heavy losses!

At that moment, in Long Jieming’s eyes, Tang Yue’er seemed like a witch reborn.

This woman might kill him first in a fit of rage. After all, she had just killed Liu Jun not long ago, and his status was similar to Liu Jun’s. If Tang Yue’er wanted to kill him, it seemed all too easy.

Thinking that he might be killed at any moment, Long Jieming completely collapsed on the ground, his face filled with despair.

Qin Chuan looked at Long Jieming’s cowardice and suddenly said, "I can spare your life, not only that, I can also help you ascend to the position of Family Head."

At these words, Long Jieming saw a glimmer of light in the utter darkness, his eyes widened in disbelief.

Tang Yue’er was full of confusion but held her tongue.

Qin Chuan continued, "I only need you to help me with one thing. If you accomplish this, all will be well."

Finally, Long Jieming’s spirits lifted, and he quickly nodded and said, "You, tell me!"

Having faced despair and the expectation of death, then suddenly seeing hope for life, how could he give up?

Qin Chuan said, "I need you to help me uncover a truth. Twenty years ago, the Qin Family was annihilated. Who was responsible? Don’t tell me you don’t know. If you don’t know, then find out for me. I’ll give you one day. If you find out the truth, I’ll help you to the position of Family Head."

He didn’t ask Long Jieming whether he knew the truth about the Qin Family’s annihilation because it was pointless. He had already discerned that not many people knew the truth, and those who did were from the older generation. Long Jieming’s generation, even his father’s generation, wouldn’t know.

Long Jieming, upon hearing Qin Chuan’s words, was shocked.

Just as Qin Chuan thought, he only knew that twenty years ago, the Qin Family was wiped out overnight, and it involved the powers from the Ancient Martial World, but he was indeed unclear about the actual truth.

After a while, Long Jieming said, "Alright, I agree!"

If he didn’t agree, that witch would surely kill him immediately. Whether he could find out or not, he would only know after trying.

Qin Chuan said, "Remember, I’m only giving you one day. If there’s no news by midnight tonight, the Long Family might as well disappear."

Long Jieming shuddered, not doubting the weight of Qin Chuan’s words as he quickly said, "Yes, I guarantee I’ll complete the task!"

Qin Chuan waved his hand, "Get out!"

Soon, Long Jieming left Cloud Summit Heaven Villa; when he breathed in the fresh air outside, he felt reborn and greedily inhaled it.

Having calmed down, his face took on an unprecedented solemnity as he said in a low voice, "I never expected he was investigating the truth behind the Qin Family’s annihilation. His last name is also Qin; could he be a survivor of the Qin Family?"

Thinking that, Long Jieming’s eyes suddenly widened. The complete destruction of the Qin Family was an acknowledged fact, but now, there appeared to be a strong possibility that there was a surviving descendant from the Qin Family.

Though he was unclear about the specifics of the Qin Family’s annihilation, he was aware of the Long Family’s rise, which seemed to be related to some powerful figure. The Long Family had risen only after the Qin Family had been wiped out.

"If he indeed is a remnant of the Qin Family, even if he comes from the Ancient Martial World, he must die, I’m afraid!"

Suddenly, Long Jieming took out his phone and said gravely, "Grandfather must have the contact of that powerful figure. If I tell Grandfather this news, he will surely relay it to that person, and then, can my father and I atone for our sins?"

He was about to call Long Qianqiu, and had even dialed the eleven-digit number, waiting to press the call button, when he suddenly stopped.

His face solemn, he said, "What if, just what if, the power behind Qin Chuan is more formidable than that powerful figure?"

With that thought, he quickly deleted the number, gritting his teeth, "Even if I tell Grandfather this news, the Long Family might not spare my father and me. If the force behind Qin Chuan truly is greater than that of the powerful figure, then I am doomed, and so is the Long Family."

"If that is the case, I might as well bet big. I’ll bet Qin Chuan has the stronger backing!"

Saying that, he hurried toward the Long Family.

Just as he had barely stepped away, a shadowy figure, lurking in the darkness, vanished like a phantom.

At Cloud Summit Heaven Villa, Qin Chuan was cultivating when Tang Yue’er suddenly appeared and said, "Big Brother Qin, everything is as you expected. Long Jieming suspected that you are a survivor of the Qin Family. He intended to inform Long Teng but eventually gave up."

Qin Chuan nodded, "Then let’s give him a temporary chance to live."

Tang Yue’er nodded then added, "From what Long Jieming said, the rise of the Long Family is linked to a powerful figure who seems to also be connected to the Qin Family’s destruction, and Long Qianqiu can contact this figure."

Qin Chuan opened his eyes and said, "If I’m not mistaken, this powerful figure is the one known as ’Guardian.’"

Tang Yue’er was stunned; she had already learned from Qin Chuan about the existence of the Guardian Hall and knew that there were at least eight Guardians.

She speculated that the powerful figure behind the Long Family might be one of the Guardians of Guardian Hall.

If that were true, avenging the Qin Family’s destruction would be difficult.

Meanwhile, at the Ye Family of Yandu.

"My leg hurts so much, my leg hurts so much..."

"It must be that beast Qin Chuan who tampered with it. I want him dead, I want him dead..."

"Ye Qingwan, you wretched woman, did you collude with that beast to leave my leg in this condition? Otherwise, why would it hurt so much? Ah..."

In the large villa, the air was filled with Ye Tiannan’s agonized howls.
