26: Chapter 26 Using someone else to do the dirty work? That's a brilliant plan!
He didn't even need to investigate to guess who was behind this.
Borrowing a blade to kill?
Wanting to use a blade from the Lower Realm to kill him, the Imperial Son?
And then seize power while the Qin Family is in turmoil.
Perhaps even inciting the Heavenly Emperor Alliance to besiege the Qin Family!
That's some truly brilliant plotting.
"The Imperial Son is wise."
Li Yuan immediately kowtowed.
"Your servant dares to guess that this Xiao Wanrou is merely a pawn the other party will discard after use."
"The other party not only wants to eliminate the Imperial Son, but they likely also want to use this opportunity to, within the Family…"
He didn't dare to finish the rest of the sentence.
For a smart person, saying half is enough.
To say more is just looking for death.
"You are very smart."
Qin Yu looked down at the humble man at his feet.
The appreciation in his eyes was obvious.
In the world of cultivation, powerful people are everywhere.
But a dog with a good brain is rare.
Not only can it bite people for its master.
It can also sniff out the stench hidden in the dark.
"Do you know what kind of person I like most?"
Qin Yu stood up slowly and stepped on Li Yuan's shoulder.
Li Yuan's body trembled, but he didn't dare to dodge.
Instead, he lowered his body even further, letting that foot step on him.
"Your... your servant does not know."
"I like sensible dogs."
Qin Yu applied a little force under his foot.
"Only sensible dogs get meat to eat."
"Do you understand?"
Li Yuan felt a surge of wild joy in his heart.
He knew he had bet correctly!
From today on.
He was no longer that small deacon in Heaven Suppressing Hall who had to look at others' faces.
He was the dog of the Qin Family's Imperial Son!
This was an opportunity that countless people dreamed of!
Even a servant at the gate of a high official is still a person of status.
Let alone the Imperial Son of an Imperial Family that rules over the heavens?
"Woof!"
"Your servant Li Yuan swears to follow the master to the death!"
"I am willing to go through fire and water for the master, and bite apart all enemies!"
Li Yuan kowtowed three loud times, his forehead turning bruised instantly.
But the smile on his face was brighter than anyone else's.
The surrounding Elders of the Heavenly Dao Sect were all stunned.
Then, their eyes were filled with jealousy.
Especially Zhang Heng, whose intestines were practically turning green with regret.
If he had known that he could latch onto such a big shot this way.
He would have gone to dig through the trash heap to find clues too!
Is being a dog for the Imperial Son shameful?
That is ascending to the heavens in one step!
"Clean this up."
Qin Yu withdrew his foot, ignoring those jealous gazes.
He turned around and embraced Mu Qinghan and Xiao Yuxin, who were waiting obediently beside him.
"It's time to go home."
"Some people at home are probably getting impatient."
"If we don't go back now, this good show will be missing its main character."
"Yes!"
Li Yuan scrambled up from the ground, his back straight.
He shouted at Zhang Heng and the others, who were still dazed:
"Didn't you hear the master's words?"
"Respectfully send off the Imperial Son!"
Screech—
Above the Nine Heavens, a heaven-shaking phoenix cry rang out.
That luxurious nine-phoenix golden imperial chariot tore through the sky.
It hovered above the plaza.
Nine True Phoenixes pulled the chariot, radiating golden light and surrounded by auspicious clouds.
Just that aura alone.
Made all living beings within ten thousand miles unable to help but kneel and worship.
Qin Yu boarded the war chariot, holding the two women in his arms.
Li Yuan, like a loyal guard dog, knelt respectfully beside the chariot shaft.
"Return to Taihuang Heaven."
Qin Yu gave the order.
The nine True Phoenixes spread their wings, pulling the war chariot toward the depths of the sky.
Rumble!
The spatial barrier was fragile before the imperial chariot, shattering instantly.
Countless streams of Chaos Qi poured in.
Forming a golden passage leading directly to the Qin Family.
Until that golden light completely disappeared at the end of their sight.
The people of the Heavenly Dao Sect kneeling on the plaza.
Only then felt the mountain pressing down on them had been removed.
They collapsed on the ground one by one, gasping for air.
That pressure coming from the depths of the Soul was too terrifying.
Zhang Heng wiped away cold sweat.
He looked at the bloodstains and corpses on the ground.
Then looked toward the empty treasure vault.
He couldn't even cry if he wanted to.
This time, it was a huge loss.
"What a cursed fate!"
"It's all because of that jinx, Xiao Fan!"
Zhang Heng gritted his teeth and turned to roar at the Elders:
"Pass down the order!"
"Destroy everything related to Xiao Fan!"
"From now on, whoever dares to mention this little beast in the Sect will be killed without mercy!"
Meanwhile.
The Upper Realm, Taihuang Heaven.
Inside a magnificent palace floating in the galaxy.
Qin Chuan was sitting cross-legged, eyes closed in cultivation.
Suddenly.
He opened his eyes abruptly, and a jade pendant at his waist shattered without warning.
"What?"
"The connection is broken?"
The color drained from Qin Chuan's face instantly, and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.
That was the only token for his one-way connection with Xiao Wanrou.
If the jade pendant is broken, it means the person is dead.
"Could this bitch have exposed me?"
Qin Chuan's fingers trembled slightly.
A bad premonition welled up in his heart.
"No! Impossible!"
"That bitch has dirt on her in my hands.
Even if she had ten thousand guts, she wouldn't dare betray me!"
"Unless..."
Qin Chuan stood up abruptly and walked to the edge of the grand hall.
His gaze cast toward the rolling sea of clouds below.
The person he dreamed of eliminating was in that direction.
"Unless, that guy Qin Yu has mastered some special means!"
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
Qin Chuan punched the white jade railing, his expression distorted.
"It seems I have no choice but to speed up the plan."
On the other side.
The nine phoenixes pulled the chariot, crushing clouds and mist, speeding through the boundary wall passage.
Inside the luxurious imperial chariot, shark-silk curtains hung low, and a subtle fragrance drifted.
Inside the chariot, an ambiguous atmosphere circulated.
"Young Master Qin, is this pressure okay?"
A delicate voice sounded.
Mu Qinghan was wearing an ice-blue thin gauze dress, her body curves faintly visible.
This once cold and arrogant Empress was now kneeling beside the divine throne.
Using those hands that only knew how to hold swords and form seals, she was gently massaging Qin Yu's shoulders.
If the people of the Heavenly Dao Sect, especially Xiao Fan earlier, saw this scene.
Their Dao Heart would likely shatter on the spot.
Qin Yu closed his eyes and hummed comfortably.
The System's background editing function is indeed useful.
In Mu Qinghan's current memories.
All that master-disciple bond, cold and arrogant persona.
Could not compare to that tragic and beautiful love between an Emperor in that past life.
The Qin Yu before her was the man she had searched for through ten thousand lifetimes.
The man she was willing to be shattered to pieces to serve.
"Hmm, good technique."
Qin Yu praised her casually, his hand naturally sweeping backward.
Pulling Mu Qinghan's soft waist into his arms.
"It seems that reshaping your Physical Body was the right thing to do."
Mu Qinghan's body trembled slightly, and a flush rose on her face.
Not only did she not dodge, but she even more submissively pressed her cheek against Qin Yu's thigh.
That appearance was like a spoiled little wild cat.
"As long as Young Master Qin is happy, this concubine is willing to do anything."
After enjoying the Empress's service, Qin Yu opened his eyes, his gaze falling to the other side of the divine throne.
A petite figure was kneeling in the corner, it was Xiao Yuxin.
She was holding a jade plate, trembling as she peeled a Divine Source Purple Grape.
Seeing Qin Yu's gaze, her hand shook, and purple juice splashed onto the back of her hand.
"What? Are you hating me?"
Qin Yu reached out and hooked Xiao Yuxin's petite chin, examining her playfully.
