114: Chapter 114 Silence in the Cold

As the number one Martial Arts Family in the Dragon Kingdom, the Xiao Family found the investigation quite smooth. Mainly because many people went this time, and with some second-generation heirs involved, it wasn't a secret at all.

It took about a day to get a clear picture of the whole sequence of events.

Patriarch Xiao Wuyan reported the situation to the Old Ancestor immediately.

"Old Ancestor, this Qin Chuan is truly dead!"

This time, it was absolutely certain.

Xiao Xiujin was so excited he could have jumped up: "The bastard, he's finally dead! That son of a bitch, he deserved to die!"

Although he felt satisfied in his heart, the cold energy inside his body would remain with him for a lifetime.

Thinking of this, he wished he could dig up Qin Chuan's corpse and lash it.

Otherwise, it would be hard to quell the hatred in his heart.

"Old Ancestor, now that it is confirmed that Qin Chuan is dead, you no longer need to fight him, and we can report this news to the Martial Arts Alliance." Patriarch Xiao Wuyan also breathed a huge sigh of relief.

In fact, he was very worried about the outbreak of this battle between Land Immortals.

Qin Chuan's strength was still unfathomable up to this point; the fact that he could slash a nuclear missile with his sword destined him to be no ordinary Land Immortal.

The key was that he was in his youth, while his Old Ancestor was already old. He could clearly feel that the Old Ancestor's lifespan seemed to be running out.

Even if he could win, a life-and-death battle would require paying a price, which would only deplete the Old Ancestor's vital essence.

Now that this battle was avoided, it was a joyous and congratulatory occasion for the entire Xiao Family.

"Congratulations, Old Ancestor! Felicitations, Old Ancestor!"

Patriarch Xiao Wuyan congratulated him, unable to suppress the smile on his face.

The Old Ancestor, however, let out a cold snort.

This left Patriarch Xiao Wuyan full of confusion: "Old Ancestor, this... isn't this worth celebrating?"

"Who knows if he's actually dead!"

The Old Ancestor flicked his sleeves: "I am going to the Qin Family!"

"Old Ancestor, why?" Patriarch Xiao Wuyan was confused again.

The Ancestor of the Xiao Family did not answer this question and vanished from the spot. The speed of a Land Immortal was far beyond what someone of Patriarch Xiao Wuyan's Realm could capture with the naked eye.

"Let's go, to the Qin Family!" Patriarch Xiao Wuyan said quickly.

The father and son took a car and headed to the Qin Family together.

At this moment.

The Qin Family.

Qin De and the others were currently lamenting that they had cut ties with Qin Chuan quickly enough; otherwise, they would have really been in trouble with the Xiao Family.

Even though more than a month had passed, they would still bring it up from time to time.

"This Qin Chuan is truly clueless. Who knows if he's dead? Would the Ancestor of the Xiao Family easily let him off?" Qin Chengwu sneered.

"I haven't seen him in the capital for over a month; he probably fled the capital."

"Heh, he wouldn't dare run around the capital anymore. If he were encountered by the Xiao Family, wouldn't he be killed?"

"That bastard, he almost caused our Qin Family to get into trouble with the Xiao Family. What a bastard!"

"..."

The Qin Family continued to lash out at Qin Chuan.

Qin De became angrier the more he thought about it. The main reason was that if Qin Chuan had been willing to develop quietly and not offend the Xiao Family, the Qin Family would surely have reached greater heights in the future, and perhaps even now, they could have stood as a major Martial Arts Family on par with the Xiao Family.

But this guy didn't provoke anyone else; he had to go and provoke the Ancestor of the Xiao Family. Wasn't that just pure suicidal behavior?

The dream of making the Qin Family big and strong was shattered at this moment.

In his heart, Qin De had many grievances against his grandson, Qin Chuan.

"Why bring him up? You're ruining my mood!" Qin De snorted coldly.

Everyone obediently shut their mouths and stopped talking about Qin Chuan.

Boom!

But just at this moment, an Aura so powerful it was terrifying rushed toward them, and the table in front of the Qin Family members shattered directly.

Everyone's face turned pale; they only felt as if a huge invisible stone was pressing down on them.

Tap, tap, tap...

Then they heard a series of slow footsteps.

The gazes of the Qin Family members immediately turned toward the entrance.

An aged figure slowly walked in.

The Ancestor of the Xiao Family!

"Ah?" Qin De exclaimed: "Ancestor of the Xiao Family, you... why have you come?"

What?!

Once this title was spoken, the others in the Qin Family were all shocked.

The only Land Immortal in the Dragon Kingdom was the Ancestor of the Xiao Family; this was common knowledge, but few people had ever seen the Ancestor of the Xiao Family.

They never expected it to be the person right in front of them.

What terrified them the most was why the Ancestor of the Xiao Family would come to the Qin Family?

Could it be that he came for Qin Chuan?

With every step the Ancestor of the Xiao Family took inside, the Qin Family members only felt the pressure increasing.

"Where is Qin Chuan?" the Ancestor of the Xiao Family asked indifferently.

"He, he, he..."

It really was for Qin Chuan.

Qin De said with a trembling voice: "Qin Chuan has already been expelled from the Qin Family; he has no further connection with my Qin Family. I don't know where he went either; perhaps he offended you and fled the capital."

"That's right, Old Ancestor. How would he dare to linger in the capital? He must have already fled," Qin Chengwu chimed in.

Slap!

The Ancestor of the Xiao Family raised his hand and struck from the air, sending Qin Chengwu flying away: "Noisy!"

The Qin Family members were silent as cicadas in winter.

They dared not hold even a shred of resentment toward the Ancestor of the Xiao Family; all they felt was fear. Instead, they hated Qin Chuan more and more.

Because they felt that the Ancestor of the Xiao Family coming to their door was caused by Qin Chuan.

"Damn it, what a scoundrel!" Qin De cursed inwardly, "How could I have such a grandson?"

As Qin Chengwu was sent flying, no one dared to speak.

However, Qin Chengwu did not die; he was just injured.

The Ancestor of the Xiao Family was merely teaching him a lesson, not trying to kill him.

Tap, tap, tap...

Not long after, more footsteps were heard.

It was none other than the Xiao father and son.

"Old Ancestor!"

"Old Ancestor!"

Patriarch Xiao Wuyan and Xiao Xiujin shouted respectfully.

Xiao Xiujin harbored hatred for Qin Chuan, and by extension, the entire Qin Family. He coldly swept his gaze across the Qin Family and shouted: "Since you have seen our Old Ancestor, why do you not bow?"

Thump!

Thump!!!

The Qin Family members knelt down one after another.

They dared not show the slightest hesitation.

"Old Ancestor, are you trying to use the people of the Qin Family to force Qin Chuan to appear?" Patriarch Xiao Wuyan immediately understood something.

The Old Ancestor nodded slightly, then swept his gaze over the Qin Family members: "Since Qin Chuan is not here, I will use you to force him to appear!"

"Three days!"

"If he does not come after three days, I will kill one person every hour!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Qin Family members felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Old Ancestor, we really have no connection with Qin Chuan anymore."

"That's right, he was expelled from the Qin Family by us..."

The Qin Family members began to beg for mercy one after another.

But the Ancestor of the Xiao Family paid no heed to this and turned to leave.

"Old Ancestor, wait!" Xiao Xiujin suddenly said.

"What is it?" The Ancestor of the Xiao Family stopped his footsteps.

"Old Ancestor, that Qin Chuan might not care about the life or death of the Qin Family, but..."

A sinister smile appeared on Xiao Xiujin's face: "He has a younger sister in the capital!"
