Chapter 573: Chapter 573: Do You Know Your Crime?

Qin Bancheng’s face drastically changed, the foot he had just lifted he dared not bring down, and he cautiously retreated back to where he had been standing.

When he turned around, his face was all smiles as he said, "I just noticed that the big pot we used to boil medicine for the Guardian of the Eight hasn’t been put away yet. I was about to go and take care of it."

"Humph!"

Qin Chuan coldly uttered a single word, his imperial might suddenly bearing down on Qin Bancheng.

"Bang!"

To the shock of the wealthy elites and top cultivators of the Nine Gates of Yandu, Qin Bancheng’s knees heavily hit the ground.

This was a Great Elder from the Qin Royal Family, one of the Nine Inferior Clans, kneeling just like that?

The Nine Inferior Clans were the strongest of the nine royal clans, aside from the top three sects and the five major families. Qin Bancheng, in terms of both status and position, was among the very top within the Qin Royal Family. Yet, in front of Qin Chuan, he had no choice but to kneel.

Those families who had had interactions, especially conflicts, with Qin Chuan, their family members were shivering uncontrollably. To offend Qin Chuan was an act of sheer insanity.

"When I say half a month, it means half a month. As long as you behave during this time, I won’t harm you. But if you dare to play any tricks, I will kill you!"

Qin Chuan’s voice was ice-cold to the extreme, tangible, each word lowering the temperature of this piece of heaven and earth by several degrees.

Qin Bancheng knew that Qin Chuan was truly harboring a murderous intent and quickly said, "Mr. Qin, I was wrong. I swear to you, I won’t play any tricks for the next half month."

"Humph!"

Qin Chuan waved his grand hand, and the imperial might pressing on Qin Bancheng instantly dissipated.

Qin Bancheng went limp, gasping heavily, his entire body soaked in cold sweat.

He looked deeply at Qin Chuan, very sure that it was not a good idea for the Qin Royal Family to offend Qin Chuan. This man was too sinister and his methods extremely ruthless; the Qin Royal Family simply couldn’t suppress him.

Unless those venerable elders, who cared not for worldly affairs and had always been in secluded cultivation, were involved.

However, these elders would normally not intervene, unless the Qin Royal Family faced a life-and-death crisis. Otherwise, nothing would disturb their seclusion and cultivation.

In the Ancient Martial World, everyone revered martial arts, especially those old antiques who had reached a bottleneck in their cultivation but were nearing the end of their lifespans; they valued cultivation above all else.

Qin Chuan’s gaze suddenly swept over the dignitaries of the Nine Gates, expressionlessly he said, "Since everyone is here, I’ll take charge of a few things today."

As soon as Qin Chuan finished speaking, the Jiang Family Master immediately opened his mouth and said, "Mr. Qin, please feel free to command us with whatever arrangements you have. My Jiang Family will carry them out immediately!"

Following closely, the Ye Family Patriarch also said, "Mr. Qin, to say you are ’interfering’ is too harsh. Whatever matters you have, just give us your orders directly, I’d like to see who dares not to listen. I, Ye Zhong, will be the first to not let them off."

"Exactly, exactly, the Ye Family Master is right. Mr. Qin, you only need to give your orders, and we will certainly carry them out!"

"Mr. Qin, please issue your commands! As long as it is within our power, we definitely will not disappoint you."

"Even if it’s through a sea of flames or up a mountain of knives, as long as it’s an order from Mr. Qin, even if I am to leap into it, I will not hesitate. Mr. Qin, please feel free to command us!"

...

After witnessing Qin Chuan’s prowess, the magnates of the Nine Gates of Yandu dare not show a hint of dissatisfaction toward Qin Chuan, all of them expressing their extreme eagerness to please.

Qin Chuan’s expression unchanged, he suddenly looked towards the direction of the Murong Family, his gaze finally settling on Murong Qin.

"Thump!"

Murong Qin immediately knelt on both knees, Long Sanlin too didn’t hesitate and knelt down as well, both their faces filled with terror.

"Mr. Qin, it was our fault before. I can assure you, from today on, there will absolutely be no one in the Murong Family who will contest with Mingyue for the position of heir. I will wholeheartedly assist Mingyue, striving to make her a worthy new Patriarch of the Murong Family as soon as possible."

Murong Qin said hastily.

Murong Mingyue looked towards Murong Qin with a complex expression on her face, her eyes filled with disappointment. She had not expected that even at this point, her aunt would still dare to covet the power of the family.

"Hmph!"

Qin Chuan let out a cold snort.

"Pfft!"

Murong Qin immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, her complexion turning ashen in an instant, her face filled with terror.

Qin Chuan said coldly, "And what are you supposed to be, to have the qualifications to assist Mingyue?"

Murong Qin then came back to her senses—she had offended Qin Chuan, and yet she was still thinking of assisting Murong Mingyue. How could Qin Chuan possibly agree?

"Mr. Qin, I’m sorry, I was wrong!"

She was terrified to the extreme and pleaded with a face full of sorrow, "I don’t want anything else, I just beg Mr. Qin to spare my life. If you can spare me, even if you make me a mere old dog by Mingyue’s side, I am willing."

Qin Chuan said indifferently, "Your wretched life can be spared for now, but as for how to deal with you, that’s Mingyue’s affair. I will not interfere."

Hearing Qin Chuan’s words, Murong Qin was immediately overjoyed. The surprise of surviving a disaster made her so emotional that she couldn’t contain herself. She repeatedly kowtowed towards Qin Chuan, all the while saying, "Thank you, Mr. Qin! Thank you, Mr. Qin!"

She knew that Murong Mingyue would definitely not kill her. She had not treated Murong Mingyue well at all, even evil would describe her actions, but she understood Mingyue would definitely not end her life.

As long she could live, that was enough.

After witnessing Qin Chuan’s power, she even completely lost the thought of making a comeback.

Suddenly, Qin Chuan said, "Your life can be spared, but your husband’s life, I’ll take!"

With these words, Murong Qin’s face changed drastically.

She could never have imagined that Qin Chuan would spare her, but not Long Sanlin.

What substantial interaction was there between Qin Chuan and Long Sanlin?

Long Sanlin also looked towards Qin Chuan incredulously, almost trembling as he said, "Mr. Qin, I don’t know how I have offended you. If you want me dead, at least let me die understanding why?"

Qin Chuan did not look at him but instead turned his gaze towards Murong Mingyue as if asking for her opinion.

Murong Mingyue felt moved in her heart; she knew that Qin Chuan was handling this matter in front of all the influential figures of the Nine Gates of Yandu to assist her ascendancy.

After Qin Chuan’s powerful display that day, who would dare to have any objections to her, the future new Family Head of the Murong Family?

It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that after that day, she would be able to walk sideways through the upper circles of Yandu.

"Long Sanlin, you conspired with a Gu Master to poison the Family Head. Do you admit your guilt?"

Murong Mingyue suddenly shouted loudly.

When she asked this question, her eyes were fixed on Murong Qin because she wanted to know if Murong Qin had any involvement in this matter.

When she saw a flicker of shock in Murong Qin’s eyes, her mind finally settled.

As long as Murong Qin was not involved in this matter, then she wouldn’t have to stain her hands with the blood of her own family.

Long Sanlin’s face was full of shock and disbelief; he had not expected that Murong Mingyue would know about this.

But soon, he regained his composure and hurriedly shook his head in denial, "Mingyue, what nonsense are you talking about? The Family Head has been gracious as a mountain to me. Without the Family Head’s kind adoption, there would be no Long Sanlin today. How could I possibly poison the Family Head?"

"I understand now! In order to take your position, you cannot bear to spill the blood of your kin. Because you cannot deal with your aunt yourself, you want to use my life to force your aunt to act against you. Once your aunt makes a move, you will have a rightful reason to put an end to your aunt."

"Mingyue, if you wish for your uncle to die, just do it. Why bother framing your uncle with a crime he didn’t commit?"
