33: Qin Wan's skills are superior

Night fell, and Tang Chenyi and Qin Wan found a place with few demons.

After clearing the surrounding demons, the two finally got a breather.

Qin Wan took out two bottles of water, threw one to Tang Chenyi, and chugged one herself.

"Thanks."

Tang Chenyi's hands were trembling slightly; he had cut down so many demons that he really couldn't take it anymore.

"Why did your Tang Family only send one person?"

After finishing her water, Qin Wan suddenly asked this question, "Aren't you afraid the Divergent Thunder Skill will be snatched by others?"

Tang Chenyi's motion of about to drink water suddenly paused, and his gaze towards Qin Wan became more wary.

"Heh."

Qin Wan looked at Tang Chenyi, her eyes full of sarcasm, "You wouldn't think this news is very secret, would you?"

After that person defected, all the forces in Xuanyuan City kept an eye on him.

Now, with any stir, your Tang Family can receive the news, and the other forces will also receive it."

Tang Chenyi's guard lessened slightly.

After thinking carefully, he said, "The Family arranged for me to come here alone, and I will naturally obey the Family's orders."

"Is that so?"

Qin Wan suddenly smiled, "Is it that they arranged for you to be on the surface, and the others in the dark?"

Perhaps, they have already reached that place?

The person arranged to be on the surface is the most dangerous existence.

Just because you didn't get a ranking in the assessment, the Tang Family is going to abandon you?"

Tang Chenyi lowered his eyes, took a sip of water, and smiled sarcastically.

Clearly, Qin Wan had hit the nail on the head.

He had been determined to get the fourth-grade demon core in the assessment, but his loss of power during the assessment directly reduced his status within the Family.

After returning this time, the people in the Family had many complaints about him.

This mission also clearly placed him in an expendable position; even the few Tang Family members who entered the Demon Subduing Division with him were arranged not to be in his group.

This led to him fighting alone against the demons during the day; if Qin Wan hadn't intervened in time, he might not have escaped unscathed.

Seeing him like this, Qin Wan's suspicions were largely confirmed.

"The four great families of Xuanyuan City: Qin, Tang, Song, Xia... Without the Divergent Thunder Skill, can the Tang Family still rank second?"

Qin Wan suddenly sighed, "If the Xia Family gets the Divergent Thunder Skill this time, the positions of these four great families will probably be reshuffled."

"Impossible!"

Tang Chenyi said decisively, "What if they get the Divergent Thunder Skill? He doesn't have..."

Tang Chenyi's voice suddenly stopped.

He remembered that the Xia Family did have Different Lightning!

If the Xia Family obtained the Divergent Thunder Skill and subdued the Different Lightning, then someone who could control Different Lightning would emerge.

Give him another ten-plus years to grow, and the Tang Family's position would truly be precarious!

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Qin Wan shook her head, "First Tang Family, then Xuanyuan City—will this saying, passed down for so many years, finally be lost in our generation?"

Even if Tang Chenyi was foolish, he knew Qin Wan's words had a hidden meaning.

He forced himself to stand upright, looked at her, and asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"

Qin Wan put away her previous demeanor and said seriously, "Cooperate with you and exchange information with you."

"Exchange information with me?"

Tang Chenyi chuckled, "Even if the Xia Family obtains the Divergent Thunder Skill and subdues the Different Lightning, it would only be possible to shake your Qin Family's position if a truly world-shaking talent appeared.

Do you, Qin Wan, need to cooperate with me and exchange information with me?"

Qin Wan also knew that Tang Chenyi wouldn't cooperate with her unless she revealed something substantial, so she drew her long sword.

Her fair hand moved the sword body slightly, and the tip of the sword carved a character on the ground.

When Tang Chenyi saw this character, his eyes narrowed, "You mean..."

Qin Wan sheathed her sword and said indifferently, "He is the one supporting Xia Yuanhong.

Otherwise, our three families—Qin, Tang, and Song—couldn't even get our own people into the mission's issuers, but Tang Chenyi got the upper hand?

To stir things up in Xuanyuan City and still have such great authority, it could only be him."

"My Qin Family stands at the head of the four great families, and naturally, we want to secure this position.

How can we let others snatch it away?

However, due to this person, we cannot openly fight, and can only find a way to maneuver in this matter."

"In short, as long as the Divergent Thunder Skill doesn't fall into his, Tang Chenyi's, hands, there's still room for maneuver.

Whether you cooperate with me or not, my goal remains unchanged."

Tang Chenyi had already believed about seventy to eighty percent after seeing the character on the ground.

He thought for a moment, then used his foot to rub the ground, erasing the character, "What do you want to know? Ask."

A slight smile appeared on Qin Wan's lips, and her small dimples also slightly indented, looking somewhat cute.

"Has your Tang Family already sent people to ambush the specific location this time?"

Tang Chenyi nodded, "Naturally.

I can't be expected to go deep into enemy territory alone to retrieve it."

"Then, among the people you dispatched, what is the highest Cultivation Technique grade?"

"The Family is concerned that this action bypasses the Demon Subduing Division and doesn't dare to be ostentatious, so the highest is only a fourth-grade Major Achievement Cultivation Technique."

Qin Wan nodded; she had asked all she wanted to ask.

Tang Chenyi said, "Since you've finished asking, it's my turn.

How many people did your Qin Family send out this time?"

Qin Wan smiled charmingly, "Just me!"

"You dare to trick me?!"

Tang Chenyi was instantly enraged.

If the Qin Family was aware of the situation regarding the Divergent Thunder Skill this time, it would be impossible for them to send only one person; this was clearly Qin Wan toying with him!

"What is Brother Chenyi saying?"

Qin Wan blinked, "When have I ever lied to you? Is there not just one Qin Family member standing before you now?"

"You?!"

Tang Chenyi gripped his long spear, about to lunge, when Qin Wan's eyes suddenly turned cold, and her long sword moved even faster, landing directly at Tang Chenyi's neck.

"Tang Chenyi, you'd best not move, otherwise, I will kill you immediately!"

The Spiritual Qi erupting from Tang Chenyi's body slowly subsided, his face full of anger, "Fine, you actually tricked me?! Despicable villain!"

Qin Wan's dimples deepened, and the smile in her eyes grew wider, "What is Brother Chenyi saying? It's merely everyone planning for themselves.

You strive for your schemes, and I strive for mine.

Now that we've clashed, it can only be said that I am more skilled; how is that despicable?"

"However, for what comes next, I'll have to ask Brother Chenyi to come with me!"

With that, the Spiritual Qi on Qin Wan's body suddenly surged, and a powerful force directly struck the back of Tang Chenyi's head.

Tang Chenyi only felt dizzy and his vision went black, and he immediately fainted.

Qin Wan took out a rope inscribed with runes and securely tied Tang Chenyi, then hoisted him onto her shoulder.

Afterward, she pulled out a Spirit Talisman and crushed it.

At the same time!

Fu Liang seemed to sense something, pulling out a Spirit Talisman from his in my arms.

The Spirit Talisman suddenly burst into flames and slowly burned.

He did not speak, but merely waited for the Spirit Talisman to burn to ashes before throwing it on the ground.

Song Wushuang glanced at the Spirit Talisman, then lowered her eyes.

Lu Ze, on the other hand, stared at the Spirit Talisman until it finished burning, then looked up at Fu Liang and slowly spoke, "What? Someone sent you a message? Let me guess... Qin Wan, right?"
