149: Chapter 149 This is what it means to stand at the top.

Qin Chuan's words were like a Soul-searching interrogation, causing Shen Wangshu's delicate body to tremble.

Previously, when the many big shots were walking toward them, her advice to Qin Chuan had been to kneel and beg for mercy, to save his life first and worry about the rest later.

But now, that advice seemed like a colossal joke, and like a boomerang.

Thinking back to three days ago, Shen Wangshu had been full of high spirits as she subjected Qin Chuan to her "Soul-searching interrogation." After she finished saying those words, she had confidently returned to her bedroom.

At the time, she had even replayed the moment in her bedroom, feeling that her words were enough to "interrogate" Qin Chuan.

But looking at it now, it felt like a joke; from start to finish, she had been the clown.

Shen Wangshu felt as though God had played a massive joke on her.

Yet even now, she still couldn't wrap her head around why Qin Chuan was Supreme Qin!

Naturally, Qin Chuan would not wait for Shen Wangshu's answer; in his eyes, she was nothing more than an ant. He walked straight toward Wei Jingyuan and the others.

Only then did he slowly cast his gaze toward Huang Heying.

Huang Heying was trembling, not daring to speak.

Qin Chuan looked at him, "You wanted me to be buried with you just now?"

"I wouldn't dare..."

Huang Heying hurriedly said, "It was all my son's fault; he deserved to die!"

What a display of fatherly love and filial piety.

Revenge? Don't even think about it!

How the Zhongzhou Xu Family was wiped out—how many people in the Martial Arts World didn't know about that now?

Who would still dare to provoke this Supreme Qin?

"Supreme Qin, since the other party knows they were wrong, why not just let this matter rest?" A Level 7 Martial Artist who had a good relationship with Huang Heying took the initiative to plead on his behalf.

This Level 7 Martial Artist was named Tang Taishan, who held a very high status in the Martial Arts World and also had ties to the Martial Arts Alliance.

He felt that if he spoke, Qin Chuan would listen to some extent.

At the very least, saving his friend's life shouldn't be a big problem.

Qin Chuan sneered, "What, someone wants me to be buried with them, and you want me to just let it go?"

"This..." Tang Taishan didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Abolish your cultivation, and your life will be spared," Qin Chuan said indifferently.

Abolish his cultivation? For a Martial Artist, and a 6th Realm Martial Artist at that, what difference was that from killing him?

"Supreme Qin, wouldn't that be a bit too much?" Tang Taishan's expression shifted slightly.

But Qin Chuan ignored him.

Huang Heying's expression was extremely ugly. He regretted saying those words, but now it seemed that whatever he said was useless.

He could only look at Tang Taishan for help.

And Tang Taishan looked toward Wei Jingyuan.

But Wei Jingyuan showed no reaction at all, acting as if nothing had happened, as if all of this had nothing to do with him.

"Fine, I will abolish my cultivation!"

Huang Heying understood immediately that no one could save him. He struck his own Dantian with a palm, shattering it.

"Pfft..." A mouthful of blood sprayed out.

Huang Heying was now a cripple.

Because he knew very well that if he didn't abolish his cultivation, not only would he be killed, but he would very likely implicate the entire Haizhou Huang Family.

The Xu Family was a cautionary tale.

Qin Chuan did not look at Huang Heying again. With his hands behind his back, he walked toward the main seat and sat down as if he were the center of the universe.

Those surrounding him were either Wei Jingyuan or those Eighth Realm Peak Martial Artists.

This was... the true Peak of the Martial Arts World!

Shen Wangshu remained silent. Qin Chuan's actions today had completely shattered her worldview.

Just because a few words had displeased him, Huang Wentao was dead, Huang Heying had abolished his own cultivation, no one dared to speak, no one dared to stop him, and no one even dared to criticize Qin Chuan for doing anything wrong.

This was the person who truly stood at the Peak.

It was as if everything in the world, in that man's eyes, was nothing more than an ant.

"Wangshu..."

Yang Siyi's voice was somewhat desolate and sorrowful, "What... exactly did we miss out on?"

What did they miss? Shen Wangshu's delicate body trembled again.

The moment she saw Qin Chuan ascend to the sky, she had already felt regret in her heart—regret for her past actions toward Qin Chuan, and regret for acting like she knew better than him.

But life was just like that; what was missed, was missed.

At this moment, Shen Wangshu really wanted to ask Qin Chuan, "Do I... still have a chance?"

Of course, such a question would only be buried deep in her heart; it was impossible to actually ask it.

So, everything Qin Chuan had said on the plane back then was true.

Yet she still found it hard to believe: how had Qin Chuan become Supreme Qin?

Su Yunying did not speak, but she glanced at her niece, her eyes showing a bit more vitality.

Su Yingxia felt no regret. After the shock, a look of joy appeared on her beautiful Face. She was the complete opposite of Shen Wangshu and Yang Siyi.

After seeing Qin Chuan standing at that Peak position, she was happy, and her heart was filled with pride.

Because this man... was the one she loved!

She thought back to more than half a month ago, in front of the Xiao Family in Kyoto, when she had heard that familiar voice. She had wondered if it might have been Qin Chuan, but she had dismissed the thought in the end.

It seemed that the person who appeared at the Xiao Family that day was indeed Qin Chuan.

This Grand Gathering was still continuing.

Qin Chuan squinted his eyes and swept a glance over Wei Jingyuan and the others. Up to this point, these people still hadn't shown anything, as if they had truly come to congratulate him.

"Supreme Qin, regarding the previous invitation to join the Martial Arts Alliance..." Wei Jingyuan revealed a kind smile.

Back in Kyoto, Qin Chuan had given him no Face and killed Xiao Jinhe, yet this old bastard acted as if nothing had happened, showing a very friendly demeanor toward Qin Chuan.

"The Earth Martial Arts Alliance, is it..."

Qin Chuan was thoughtful, "Let's talk after the Grand Gathering ends."

Wei Jingyuan nodded, not in a rush.

Sheng Wenguang and Sheng Nini naturally had no status at this Martial Arts Grand Gathering, and they couldn't get close to Qin Chuan, but their eyes were fixed on Shen Wangshu.

"Dad, Shen Wangshu must be regretting it by now, right?" Sheng Nini asked.

Sheng Wenguang chuckled, "Some people, once missed, are missed for a lifetime."

Until the Grand Gathering ended.

Many Martial Artists left one after another, but the killing trap still had not appeared.

Ye Nantian was also confused. Wei Jingyuan had made many arrangements over the last half month just to wait for this Martial Arts Grand Gathering, yet until now, there hadn't been any movement.

He could only look at Qin Chuan, his eyes filled with a hint of confusion.

Qin Chuan's expression was calm, looking completely unconcerned.

Since the killing trap did not appear at the Grand Gathering, it meant the killing trap was coming later.

After the Martial Arts Grand Gathering ended.

Shen Wangshu left in a daze.

"Wangshu, are you okay?" Yang Siyi was worried about her and followed along.

Su Yingxia had wanted to say a few words to Qin Chuan, but even after the Martial Arts Grand Gathering ended, there were still many people surrounding him, so she had to give up. However, seeing Shen Wangshu's dejected appearance, she felt a bit worried.

"Auntie, I'm going to check on Wangshu."

"Mm, go ahead." Su Yunying was in a good mood.

Just like that, Su Yingxia and Yang Siyi accompanied Shen Wangshu back to the Su Family.

"Wangshu, has the Martial Arts Grand Gathering ended?" Shen Shihua was very interested in this matter.

"Mm... it ended..."

Shen Wangshu replied like a soulless person and then returned to her bedroom.

Su Yingxia and Yang Siyi both followed her.

Shen Shihua was full of confusion.

"What's wrong with my daughter?"

"It seems like she has received a huge blow."
