Chapter 523: Chapter 523: You’re Not Being Honest

"Who?"

Qin Bancheng’s descending palm instantly froze in place, a chill spreading down his spine.

One heard the voice before seeing the person!

That wasn’t the main point, however. The main point was that, with the other’s utterance of "You dare," a terrifying pressure descended upon this slice of heaven and earth, enveloping him entirely.

"Sovereign Realm!"

Qin Bancheng’s lips quivered slightly, his face full of disbelief.

He was an Emperor Realm Peak expert himself; how could he possibly encounter a Sovereign Realm expert in the Secular World? How could there possibly be a Sovereign Realm expert in the Secular World?

Could it be that, like him, this was also a powerhouse who had descended from the Ancient Martial World?

"Brother!"

The moment Qin Nian heard that voice, she became incredibly excited.

Tang Yue’er stared blankly at the near miss of the palm, her entire body trembling uncontrollably, having almost died under that palm just a moment ago.

"Boom!"

The very next second, a sound like a sonic boom erupted, followed immediately by the appearance of a young figure.

"It’s you?"

Qin Bancheng’s pupils dilated rapidly, shock written all over his face.

It wasn’t that he had seen Qin Chuan before, but rather, he had never seen a Sovereign Realm expert as young as Qin Chuan—what, twenty-six or twenty-seven?

He seemed to have heard Qin Nian call out "Brother;" could it be, this young man?

Wait!

Qin Nian possessed the bloodline of the Qin Royal Family, which is why she could awaken as a Blood Lotus Reincarnation Body and receive its heritage. Then, the young man before him, referred to as "Brother" by Qin Nian, could it be that he, too, has the Qin Royal Family bloodline?

With this realization, Qin Bancheng shook with excitement.

If he could bring this pair of siblings back to the Qin Royal Family, what an earth-shattering event would it be?

The Qin Royal Family was ranked among the Nine Inferior Clans precisely because they lacked Sovereign Realm experts. Having even one more Sovereign Realm expert would elevate the Qin Royal Family’s position among the Nine Inferior Clans.

Especially since the Sovereign Realm expert before him was such a young man.

"Are you the young lady’s brother?"

Qin Bancheng asked, his tone tinged with excitement.

Qin Chuan did not respond, but merely gave the other a cold glance before turning to Qin Nian and saying, "Don’t be afraid. As long as Brother is here, no one will take you away."

Qin Nian nodded firmly, then tried to go over to Qin Chuan, but her arms were held by two bodyguards, making it impossible to break free.

"Let go!"

Qin Chuan spoke just two words, his piercing eyes like two sharp arrows, coldly staring at the two bodyguards.

"Hmph!"

The two bodyguards, despite sensing a powerful aura from Qin Chuan, were not at all flustered because they simply could not see Qin Chuan’s cultivation. In their view, even if Qin Chuan were strong, could he be stronger than Qin Bancheng?

Without Qin Bancheng’s order, they would not let her go.

One of the bodyguards coldly said, "And who the hell are you? You also dare to give us orders?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Bancheng’s pupils shrank, just about to scold them, but then he saw Qin Chuan had already vanished from his spot.

"Bang!"

The next second, Qin Chuan appeared in front of the bodyguard who had just spoken, a palm strike to the head, and the bodyguard from the Qin Royal Family instantly became a headless corpse.

Another guardian, seeing the fate of his companion, was struck as if by lightning and completely froze in place, his pupils filled with terror.

Qin Bancheng couldn’t help but roar, "Release him! Release him quickly!"

Even within the Qin Royal Family, there were many Realm Martial Artists in the King Realm, but there were not many at the King Peak Realm. The loss of even one was a heavy blow.

But the still-living guardian was shocked by his companion’s gruesome death and did not immediately come to his senses.

At the moment Qin Bancheng was shouting to release him, Qin Chuan appeared in front of the second guardian. With a casual slap, the second guardian also became a headless corpse.

Qin Bancheng’s face turned ashen, a hint of anger flashed across his face, and he stared at Qin Chuan with dead eyes.

Qin Bancheng gritted his teeth and said, "I have already told them to release him, and yet you persist in delivering a killing blow. Isn’t that too much?"

Qin Chuan still did not pay attention to him but instead approached Qin Nian and gently said, "Are you okay?"

Qin Nian finally came back to her senses from the shock. The image of Qin Chuan slapping a head off had been deeply etched into her mind.

Although she had inherited the Blood Lotus Reincarnation Body, she had never engaged in formal combat before. Where had she ever seen such a bloody scene?

Suppressing the urge to vomit, she gently shook her head, her face ashen, and said to Qin Chuan, "Brother, I’m fine!"

Qin Chuan nodded slightly and then turned to look at Tang Yue’er, saying, "Come here to me."

Tang Yue’er finally regained her senses. After casting an angry glance at Qin Bancheng, she jogged to stand behind Qin Chuan.

Being ignored by Qin Chuan repeatedly, Qin Bancheng’s facial expression twisted, and he stared at Qin Chuan, saying fiercely, "You have the blood of the Qin Royal Family flowing in you, yet you regard the lives of Qin Royal Family warriors as if they were nothing. Isn’t that going too far?"

Two cold gleams shot from Qin Chuan’s eyes as he squinted at Qin Bancheng and said, "Who told you that I have the Qin Royal Family’s blood flowing in me?"

"Hm?"

For a moment, Qin Bancheng was also stunned. Was that not the case?

But he had clearly heard Qin Nian calling the other man ’Brother,’ and since Qin Nian could awaken the Blood Lotus Reincarnation Body, it meant she must have the Qin Royal Family’s blood flowing in her.

He suddenly realized that Qin Nian was looking at him as if he were a fool, and, unable to hide his irritation, he demanded, "Just who are you?"

It dawned on him that he might have made a mistake. Who said that a ’Brother’ had to be a blood relative?

An affectionate brother is still a brother.

Once he realized this, his annoyance turned into a sort of infuriated relief, but he was still very pleased inside.

After all, Qin Nian was a member of the Qin Royal Family. Since this young man was Qin Nian’s affectionate brother, he could be considered half a member of the Qin Royal Family.

As long as Qin Nian and her affectionate brother could join the Qin Royal Family, the Qin Royal Family’s status among the Nine Inferior Clans would rise significantly.

"Who I am is none of your business, but since you are from the Qin Royal Family, good, I have something I need to verify with you."

Qin Chuan suddenly spoke, his deep eyes flickering with a terrifying murderous intent.

This made Qin Bancheng, who was just about to speak, stifle his words, his whole body tensing, prepared to flee at any moment.

Although he wanted to bring Qin Nian back to the Qin Royal Family, the young man in front of him was rather peculiar. If the young man truly took action, with his own strength at the Apex of the Emperor Realm, he would still not be able to contend with him.

"Was it your Qin Royal Family that annihilated the branch that left for the Secular World of Yandu many years ago?"

Qin Chuan suddenly asked, his icy eyes fixating on Qin Bancheng, not moving an inch, unwilling to miss any hint of emotion on Qin Bancheng’s face.

Upon hearing Qin Chuan’s question, Qin Nian clenched her fists tightly, her bloodshot eyes staring at Qin Bancheng with determination.

When Qin Bancheng heard Qin Chuan’s question, his pupils shrank violently.

But it was only for a moment; his expression quickly returned to normal as he frowned at Qin Chuan and said, "How could that be? You yourself said that branch had left the Qin Royal Family. Even if they had left, they were still of the Qin Royal Family. How could the Qin Royal Family annihilate its own people completely?"

A cruel smile curled at the corners of Qin Chuan’s mouth as he squinted at Qin Bancheng and said, "It seems you’re being a little dishonest. Since that’s the case, don’t blame me for not being polite to you."

"What are you going to do?"

Qin Bancheng immediately panicked, looking at Qin Chuan with a face full of fear, and began to back away, knowing he could not win and therefore preparing to flee.
