Chapter 528: Chapter 528 Only You Can

A mysterious man in black clothes and a bamboo hat covering his head approached.

His hat was surrounded by a drape of black gauze that concealed his face, and his voice was unusually hoarse, it was unclear whether he had altered his voice on purpose or if it was naturally like that.

Judging by his voice, the man wearing the bamboo hat seemed to be around fifty years old.

"Who are you?"

Qin Bancheng stared intently at him, his face filled with anger.

Just when he was about to leave, a Cheng Yaojin appeared out of nowhere, insisting he could not let him go.

Qin Chuan frowned as he looked at the stranger, wondering if it was an illusion, but he felt a faint and elusive pressure emanating from the man.

With his current cultivation level, even if he went to the Nine Inferior Clans of the Ancient Martial World, he would be considered a top martial artist.

Now in the Secular World, he had actually encountered a mysterious martial artist who made him feel a slight sense of oppression.

"Who I am is none of your concern just yet," the man with the bamboo hat said coldly, before looking at Qin Chuan and adding, "Young Qin, may I have a word with you alone?"

Qin Chuan was very curious about his identity as well, and hearing his request, his curiosity grew even stronger. Who exactly was this man?

"Mr. Qin, don’t be swayed by his smooth talk—a person who doesn’t dare to show his true face is definitely up to no good."

Qin Bancheng quickly said.

He didn’t know who the other person was, but he sensed hostility in his words, and if Qin Chuan really fell for his words, he might actually end up forcefully detained here.

The man with the bamboo hat didn’t even glance at Qin Bancheng as if he couldn’t be bothered with him and continued to gaze at Qin Chuan.

"Fine!"

After a brief moment of thought, Qin Chuan agreed.

"Mr. Qin!"

Qin Bancheng’s expression dramatically changed, and just as he was about to dissuade him, he felt a terrifying pressure envelop him.

"Thud!"

To the shock of the onlookers, Qin Bancheng suddenly dropped to his knees heavily under that pressure.

The mysterious man with the bamboo hat spoke beneath it, his voice filled with murderous intent, "Speak out of turn again, and I’ll kill you!"

Fear shone in Qin Bancheng’s eyes, almost splitting with intensity, as he stared fixedly at the mysterious man.

As the Great Elder of the Qin Royal Family in the Ancient Martial World, when had he ever faced such humiliation? To be forced to kneel by an unidentified, formidable stranger.

Qin Chuan looked at the man beside him in surprise but said nothing further, simply taking steps forward.

The mysterious man quickly followed, and once he was sure no third party could overhear them, he finally spoke, "I won’t lie to you, Mr. Qin, I have a grudge against the Qin Royal Family."

Qin Chuan watched him with interest, unsurprised. A man who could make Qin Bancheng, with his Emperer Realm Peak cultivation, kneel with just his oppressive aura must possess tremendous strength.

Such a powerful individual could only come from the Ancient Martial World.

The stranger’s insistence on not letting Qin Bancheng go surely meant he had a significant grievance with the Qin Royal Family.

Moreover, it was certain that he had met Qin Bancheng before; otherwise, there would be no need to conceal his own face.

"With your strength, killing Qin Bancheng shouldn’t be difficult, right?"

Qin Chuan squinted his eyes at the other party and said, "Since you have a grudge against the Qin Royal Family and could kill Qin Bancheng yourself, why did you make me forcibly keep him?"

The mysterious man suddenly fell silent, unsure if he was considering how to answer that question or if he was contemplating other matters.

"I can’t kill him!"

The mysterious man suddenly spoke.

"Hmm?"

Qin Chuan was taken aback. The other party, with just their imposing pressure, had forced Qin Bancheng to kneel on the ground; how could they now be unable to kill him?

While Qin Chuan was still trying to gather his thoughts, the other party suddenly lifted the front of the hat’s veil, revealing an extraordinarily beautiful face.

She turned out to be a woman around twenty-five years old!

How could this be possible?

The other party clearly had the voice of a middle-aged man and possessed the pressure of a Sovereign Realm, how did they suddenly become such a young and beautiful woman?

Her face was like that of Chang’e’s reflection in the Moon Palace, her eyes deep as if hiding a sea of stars, with every blink seeming to tug at the brilliance of thousands of stars. Her eyebrows, shaped like willow leaves, curved softly and naturally. Her nose was straight without losing its suppleness, her lips red and teeth white, and her sorrowful expression seemed to tug at one’s heartstrings.

She stood with her back to Qin Bancheng and the others, facing Qin Chuan, and only Qin Chuan could see this unparalleled beauty.

Even Qin Chuan was stunned by such breathtaking beauty; the brilliance of that moment was enough to make one forget the world’s noise.

"You, you are actually..."

After a while, Qin Chuan couldn’t help but open his mouth to ask, "Who exactly are you?"

The woman then said, "My name is Wen Ruyu, from the Heavenly Gate in the Ancient Martial World, which is the premier intelligence organization in the Ancient Martial World."

The other party was very clever, each sentence concise, and she had told Qin Chuan what he wanted to know.

Without waiting for Qin Chuan to ask, Wen Ruyu continued, "I know Mr. Qin is investigating the extermination of the Qin Family in the Secular World. If Mr. Qin is willing to help me confine Qin Bancheng in the Secular World, I am willing to assist Mr. Qin in investigating the murder of the Qin Family."

Her simple words shocked Qin Chuan profoundly.

This was the first time he had heard of the Heavenly Gate, which was the top intelligence organization in the Ancient Martial World. If Heavenly Gate were willing to investigate, wouldn’t it be easy for them to uncover the truth about the murder of the Qin Family?

Qin Chuan asked, "The technique you used to make Qin Bancheng kneel just now, was it with the help of external forces?"

Wen Ruyu nodded, and then she took out a yellow talisman, saying to Qin Chuan, "This talisman was forged by a Talisman Master with the cultivation of Pinnacle of the Emperor Realm. It allows its user to possess, for a short amount of time, an imposing pressure comparable to a Martial Artist at the Initial Stage of the Emperor Realm."

"Qin Bancheng was forced to kneel not because of being suppressed by strength, but by the pressure of an Emperor Realm Initial Stage strong man, to put it bluntly, Qin Bancheng was frightened into kneeling."

Qin Chuan was inwardly startled, amazed that such a talisman could allow its user to possess such a high level of imposing pressure within a short time.

No wonder Wen Ruyu said she couldn’t kill Qin Bancheng; it turned out she had been bluffing with a talisman.

Qin Chuan asked, "Does Heavenly Gate have grievances with the Qin Royal Family?"

Unexpectedly, Wen Ruyu shook her head and then added, "It’s me who has a grudge against Qin Bancheng; he killed my father."

"Even worse, Qin Bancheng has an ignorant son. Qin Bancheng actually took his son to Heavenly Gate to propose an arranged marriage. Heavenly Gate might be the leading intelligence organization in the Ancient Martial World but couldn’t contend with the Qin Royal Family."

"Heavenly Gate had no choice but to agree to the engagement. In half a month, I will have to marry Qin Bancheng’s son."

By the end, a tangible, cold killing intent emanated from Wen Ruyu.

"If it weren’t for my father’s murder, I could marry into the Qin Royal Family for the sake of Heavenly Gate, but with my father’s murder unavenged, how could I possibly marry? Especially to the son of my father’s murderer?"

Wen Ruyu’s eyes suddenly reddened as she stared intently at Qin Chuan and said, "In the Ancient Martial World, no one can help me, but you can!"
