Chapter 551: Chapter 551: There is More to the Story

Qin Chuan’s display of prowess left everyone present engulfed in unparalleled terror.

Those Half-step King Realm strong who kneeled on the ground initially harbored resentment, but when they saw that even Lu Fengxian, with his King Realm Mid-stage cultivation, was powerless in Qin Chuan’s grasp, they fell into complete despair.

A Lu Family ancestor seemed like a mere chick in Qin Chuan’s hands, not even requiring Qin Chuan to make a move himself. Merely using a technique of solidifying qi into power, which one could possess in the King Realm Initial Stage, Qin Chuan controlled the life and death of Lu Fengxian, with his King Realm Mid-stage cultivation.

Then how strong could Qin Chuan be?

At this moment, the ones filled with the most regret were undoubtedly the people from the Ye Family and the Lu Family. Originally, both these powerful clans had hoped to make Qin Chuan their son-in-law but had never imagined that such a once-in-a-millennium opportunity would be destroyed by their own hands.

Ye Zhong kneeled on the ground, bearing the oppressive force released by Qin Chuan, feeling as if his heart was bleeding.

If he had known this would happen, he should have personally killed everyone who offended Qin Chuan the first time the Ye Family crossed him.

Although he had long realized that Qin Chuan was extraordinary, he had never imagined that Qin Chuan could suppress a King Realm Mid-stage expert with a raise of his hand.

Such terrifying strength was enough to suppress the Nine Gates of Yandu.

Lu Fengxian spoke hastily, "I, I went into seclusion over twenty years ago and know very little about the Qin Family massacre that happened twenty years ago."

"Hmph!"

Only then did Qin Chuan retract his aura. Lu Fengxian’s body crashed onto the ground, and the people of the Nine Gates of Yandu felt the despairing pressure dissipate instantly. They sat dazed on the ground, gasping for air.

"Not hiding anything from Mr. Qin, I also came out of seclusion more than a decade ago. It was then that the clan members briefed me on the recent major events, and only then did I learn that the strongest Qin Family of the Nine Gates of Yandu was exterminated overnight."

Lu Fengxian gave Qin Chuan a wary glance before continuing, "After hearing the report from my clan members, I learned that the Qin Family was supposedly destroyed by... "

He was about to continue but saw Qin Chuan suddenly wave his hand.

He looked at Qin Chuan, puzzled, not knowing what Qin Chuan had just done but suddenly felt an odd sensation.

He felt as though the very heavens and earth around him had been sealed—yes, space had been sealed—because he suddenly realized he could no longer hear any sounds from outside.

For a moment, his heart was struck with terror, and when he looked at Qin Chuan, his eyes were filled with awe.

He did not know what Qin Chuan had done, but he was certain that Qin Chuan’s seemingly casual wave had swept through the fabric of the world.

Qin Chuan said coldly, "Continue!"

Lu Fengxian quickly continued, "According to clan records, twenty years ago, someone from the Ancient Martial World approached Lu Yaosheng, requesting the Lu Family to arrange for ten Energizing Skill Peak Realm Strong to accompany them to a place at midnight on the day they made contact."

Stopping there, he looked at Qin Chuan warily.

Qin Chuan’s gaze turned icy as he said coldly, "And then?"

Lu Fengxian spoke with a grave expression, "After that, those people never returned since they left with that mysterious strong from the Ancient Martial World."

"But I suspect that the people of the Ancient Martial World didn’t just contact our Lu Family but also reached out to other clans of the Nine Gates and then led the members of the Nine Gates to act against the Qin Family."

"As for the ten Energizing Skill Peak Realm Strong taken away from the Lu Family, they might have already been silenced."

Qin Chuan took a deep breath, struggling to contain the rage in his heart.

He could tell that Lu Fengxian was probably not lying, and lacked the guts to lie.

His reason for visiting the Lu Family today and for oppressively subduing everyone present was to coax the true story out of the members of the Nine Gates of Yandu.

Qin Chuan asked again, "What was the name of the person from the Ancient Martial World who took ten Energizing Skill Peak Realm martialists from the Lu Family? How old was he? What did he look like?"

Lu Fengxian shook his head, then said, "The other party was wearing a very strange mask, making it impossible to see their faces, but one thing is certain, his cultivation is at least at the King Realm, and it’s even possible that he is in the legendary Emperor Realm."

"According to the records of our clan members, the person has a well-proportioned build, probably about the same height as Mr. Qin."

"Mr. Qin, I have told you all that I know. Please, show mercy for the sake of Yan Wu and spare the Lu Family."

As he spoke, Lu Fengxian actually knelt down in front of Qin Chuan, his face filled with pleading.

Qin Chuan gave him a cold glance and said, "If it is confirmed that the Lu Family did not partake in the destruction of the Qin Family, I can spare the Lu Family."

"But what if those ten Energizing Skill Peak Realm Strong who were taken away from the Lu Family by that Ancient Martial World expert participated? Would Mr. Qin still be willing to spare the Lu Family then?"

Lu Fengxian asked anxiously.

"Hmph!"

Qin Chuan didn’t speak, but with a wave of his hand, Lu Fengxian was sent flying backwards by dozens of steps.

Then, with a forceful gesture, Qin Chuan grasped forth, and Ye Zhong was abruptly brought before him.

"Mr., Mr. Qin!"

Ye Zhong looked at Qin Chuan nervously.

The last time he had seen Qin Chuan at the Ye Family, Ye Zhong had only thought that Qin Chuan was at most at the Half-step King Realm in cultivation, but now, the skills displayed by Qin Chuan completely surpassed his understanding.

When facing Qin Chuan again, his eyes were filled with nothing but reverence.

"Tell me everything you know about the eradication of the Qin Family, and if you dare to hide anything from me, I won’t mind making another trip to the Ye Family," Qin Chuan said with a cold voice.

Ye Zhong’s body shivered, how could he not hear the threat in Qin Chuan’s words?

"Twenty years ago, I was already the Ye Family Patriarch. That day, an uninvited guest arrived at the Ye Family, bearing a strange mask and exuding an extremely terrifying aura. We in the Ye Family speculated that the person possessed at least the cultivation of King Realm Peak, and possibly was even an Emperor Realm Strong."

Ye Zhong’s thoughts seemingly returned to twenty years ago, and even speaking about it today, there was wariness in his eyes.

"The visitor demanded ten Energizing Skill Peak Realm Martialists from the Ye Family to accompany him at midnight to carry out a task."

Saying this, he looked deeply at Qin Chuan, his face showing a tinge of sadness and anger. Biting his teeth, he said, "But who knew, after those ten Energizing Skill Peak Realm experts were taken from the Lu Family by that person, they never returned."

"Among that group of experts, there was my eldest son. He was the most outstanding of my children, had reached the Energizing Skill Peak Realm by the age of thirty-five, and was once considered the most likely to achieve the level of Sovereign Master."

"But after he left that time, he never returned."

Ye Zhong’s eyes suddenly reddened as he looked up at Qin Chuan, his face bearing a plea, "Mr. Qin, I know you are investigating the tragic fall of the Qin Family. If one day you find the truth, I implore you to kill everyone related to the Qin Family’s downfall!"

"Because they are also the murderers of my most esteemed son!"

Qin Chuan stared straight at Ye Zhong. The latter did not seem to be lying, and what he said largely matched what Lu Fengxian had said.

The Lu Family had ten Energizing Skill Peak Realm Martialists taken away; the Ye Family also had ten taken away. Without surprises, it’s likely the other families had also lost ten Energizing Skill Peak Realm experts.

What puzzled him, though, was why did the person only select martial artists with Energizing Skill Peak Realm cultivation?

Twenty years ago, among the Nine Gates of Yandu, there were surely martial artists with Half-step King Realm cultivation—why did they only take away those at the Energizing Skill Peak Realm?

Was it because the person had an obsession? Or was there another secret?

If among the Nine Gates of Yandu, there was a family that had risen overnight after the Qin Family was destroyed twenty years ago, perhaps that family is where the breakthrough lies.
