Chapter 553: Chapter 553: Preparing the Will

Qin Chuan’s voice, filled with murderous intent, resounded, "Is the massacre of the Qin Family related to the Dragon Family?"

Long Qianqiu was almost scared to death, and he hurriedly shook his head, "No, I swear it’s not! Twenty years ago, the Dragon Family was nothing, not even qualified to carry the Qin Family’s shoes. How could we possibly have been involved in the massacre of the Qin Family?"

"No?"

Qin Chuan raised an eyebrow, "Then why did you mention the Dragon Family’s guilt?"

Long Qianqiu hurriedly said, "Although the Dragon Family was not related to the massacre of the Qin Family, it replaced the Qin Family and became the new nobility of Yandu overnight, ranking among the Nine Gates."

"Because the Dragon Family replaced the Qin Family, I believe the Dragon Family is guilty."

Qin Chuan was somewhat disappointed, having thought he could uncover the truth about the massacre of the Qin Family from the Dragon Family. Instead, he had been misled by Long Qianqiu’s words.

"Tell me everything you know about the massacre of the Qin Family, and how did the Dragon Family become part of the Nine Gates of Yandu overnight?"

Long Qianqiu suddenly became nervous in the face of Qin Chuan’s oppressive presence. Even as the Dragon Family Patriarch, he couldn’t help but feel fear.

Long Qianqiu cautiously said, "If I say that the Dragon Family rose to power overnight by using the massacre of the Qin Family, would Mr. Qin believe me?"

Qin Chuan’s gaze turned icy, his murderous intent locking onto Long Qianqiu as he spoke coldly, "I only want the truth. If you dare to beat around the bush again, don’t blame me for annihilating your Dragon Family."

Long Qianqiu was almost about to cry and hurriedly said, "I’m not lying! I won’t hide it from you, twenty years ago, the day before the Qin Family was wiped out, I had already received the news."

The murderous aura around Qin Chuan intensified, as he increasingly felt that Long Qianqiu was deceiving him.

Feeling the stronger murderous intent, Long Qianqiu, fearing he wouldn’t get another chance to speak, hurriedly sped up his speech.

"The day before the Qin Family’s massacre, I went to the Genting Tea House for tea as usual and by chance, I overheard a conversation from the next room between the Mu Family Head and someone else."

"I heard the Mu Family Master was looking for Energizing Skill Peak Realm Experts, and coincidentally, that day I also heard that the Master Qi was doing the same."

"To tell the truth, the Dragon Family was prepared to become the tenth gate of Yandu. Among our ranks, there was only one Half-step King Realm Expert, but we had many Energizing Skill Peak Realm Experts. At that time, each family of the Nine Gates had only about ten Peak Realm Members, whereas my Dragon Family had twenty-eight!"

Hearing Long Qianqiu’s words, Qin Chuan was stunned.

That the Dragon Family could cultivate twenty-eight Energizing Skill Peak Realm Experts right under the noses of the Nine Gates of Yandu was indeed impressive.

Twenty years ago, each of the Nine Gates of Yandu typically had no more than ten Energizing Skill Peak Realm Experts, and some even had fewer than ten.

"Because both the Mu Family and the Qi Family were looking for Energizing Skill Peak Realm Experts and were willing to pay any price, I realized something was wrong. Yandu was about to witness a major event, so I arranged for people to secretly contact the Mu Family and Qi Family, offering them Top-grade Elixirs in exchange for the services of our Energizing Skill Peak Realm Martialists."

Long Qianqiu paused and cautiously glanced at Qin Chuan, seeing that his expression was calm, he continued, "Unexpectedly, both the Mu Family and Qi Family agreed, so I arranged for two Energizing Skill Peak Realm Martialists to go to the Mu Family, and two to go to the Qi Family."

"That very night, I learned about the event of the Qin Family’s massacre, and the four Energizing Skill Peak Realm Experts I sent out had completely disappeared. That’s when I realized the Qin Family’s massacre was highly likely related to the other eight gates among the Nine Gates of Yandu."

"So, that very night, I took a big gamble, releasing the news that the Dragon Family intended to join the ranks of the Nine Gates of Yandu and simultaneously exposed the remaining twenty-four Energizing Skill Peak Realm Experts we had."

At this point, Long Qianqiu suddenly stopped, and a look of horror appeared in his eyes.

Qin Chuan asked, "Even if the Dragon Family has twenty-four Energizing Skill Peak Realm Strong, the other families wouldn’t accept the Dragon Family joining the Nine Gates of Yandu, right?"

Long Qianqiu nodded and continued, "You’re right, the other eight gates are not in agreement. Although no news has been released, I have already obtained intelligence that the other eight gates are preparing to join forces to completely eradicate the Dragon Family."

"However, before the other eight gates could make a move, a terrifying pressure enveloped all of Yandu."

"Immediately following that, a divine voice, as if from beyond the heavens, boomed through the sky, declaring, ’From today onward, among the Nine Gates of Yandu, the Qin Family will be no more, replaced by the Dragon Family!’"

Long Qianqiu looked fearfully towards Qin Chuan and said, "Our Dragon Family’s strong ones speculate that this mysterious strong one is at least a Peerless Expert with Emperor Realm Cultivation, most likely from the Ancient Martial World."

"The figure proclaimed themselves as a ’Guardian’ and threatened viciously that if anyone from any family dared speak of the Qin Family henceforth, that family’s fate would be the same as the Qin Family’s."

"Just like that, the Dragon Family successfully entered the ranks of the Nine Gates of Yandu. However, the remaining twenty-four Energizing Skill Peak Realm Strong became others’ scapegoats overnight."

"Because the master of that heavenly divine voice sent people to our Dragon Family, and took away all the Energizing Skill Peak Realm Martialists, leaving the Dragon Family with nothing but a nominal existence."

"Fortunately, the existence of the Dragon Family among the Nine Gates of Yandu was permitted by that mysterious strong one. Although the Dragon Family lost all its Energizing Skill Peak Realm Martialists, no one dared target the Dragon Family, which allowed them to seize this opportunity to develop significantly. Now, among the Nine Gates of Yandu, the comprehensive strength of the Dragon Family is second only to the Ye Family."

"Mr. Qin, this is all I know about the tragic massacre of the Qin Family, and these matters all have evidence to trace. If Mr. Qin does not wish to believe me, you can investigate, and you’ll know that what I say is true."

"Mr. Qin, I believe, the massacre of the Qin Family should have no connections with the Nine Gates of Yandu, and it’s most likely done by a strong one from the Ancient Martial World."

Qin Chuan remained silent, feeling very troubled. He had thought he could extract the real truth about the Qin Family’s massacre from within the Nine Gates of Yandu, but he hadn’t even touched the surface of the true situation.

It seemed the truth behind the Qin Family’s massacre could only rely on Wen Ruyu of the Heavenly Gate. In the Secular World, it seemed impossible to find any clues.

Seeing that Qin Chuan did not speak for a long while, Long Qianqiu cautiously asked, "Mr. Qin, may I leave now?"

Qin Chuan merely waved his hand. He suddenly felt like he was punching cotton.

In his quest to uncover the truth about the Qin Family’s massacre, he had even planted secret agents in both the Dragon Family and Liu Family, but now it seemed he wouldn’t even get to use them.

"Brother!"

Lu Yanwu hurriedly ran over, looking at the despondent Qin Chuan with full concern on her face.

Murong Mingyue also walked over. She knew Qin Chuan was investigating the true story of the Qin Family’s massacre, and it seemed he hadn’t made any successful discoveries.

She consoled him, "Don’t be too anxious. After all, it has been twenty years since it happened—some resistance is normal."

Qin Chuan smiled faintly and said to the two women, "Don’t worry, I’m fine!"

As he was about to leave, suddenly a terrifying momentum enveloped the entire hall.

"Useless! All useless! I had hoped that the Nine Gates of Yandu would work together to wear down this boy, but you didn’t even have the courage to make a move, what a bunch of cowards all of you are in the Nine Gates of Yandu!"

Immediately following that, a voice filled with rage resounded, "Qin Chuan, have you prepared your last words?"
