281: Chapter 281 Six Months Later

The Earth Martial Arts Alliance officially announced the news of Qin Chuan's death.

This was accurate information from official sources and carried extreme authority.

Once this news spread, the whole world was in an uproar again.

Although news of his death had circulated before and everyone was quite certain that Qin Chuan could not possibly have survived, the authorities had not made an official statement. What if Qin Chuan hadn't been on the island at all? Anything was possible.

Things were different now. The Earth Martial Arts Alliance was the official body of the Martial Arts World. Now that even the authorities had issued an announcement, Qin Chuan was one hundred percent dead.

Although this outcome did not surprise anyone.

However, over in the Dragon Kingdom, many families were excited, because who wouldn't want to obtain the spirit tea worth two hundred million per cup?

It was just that by the time these families confirmed the news of Qin Chuan's death and took action, they were a step too late. Yunding Villa had already been ransacked, and even when they turned their attention to looting the Tianzong, they found they were a step behind there as well.

"Who was so fast?" This was the question on everyone's mind.

After some investigation, they were shocked to discover that all of Qin Chuan's resources to Cultivate had already fallen into the hands of the Earth Martial Arts Alliance.

And the team was led by five Land Immortals!

Instantly, the entire Dragon Kingdom Martial Arts fell silent.

Unless a Half-step God Realm expert emerged, trying to snatch resources from the hands of five Land Immortals was akin to stealing food from a tiger's mouth.

Of course, the Dragon Kingdom Martial Arts side naturally had no thoughts of crossing Blake; those with grudges or grievances had already been wiped out on that night.

However... for many in the Dragon Kingdom Martial Arts, Qin Chuan's death was a joyous occasion of monumental proportions.

Because the position of Land Immortal had become completely vacant.

In just three short days, a new Land Immortal appeared, and this Land Immortal was none other than Ye Canghai of the Hong Kong Ye Family.

He was the younger brother of Ye Cangshan. He had long been an Eighth Realm Peak Martial Artist, and now that Qin Chuan was dead, he had successfully advanced to a Land Immortal.

The Ye Family had been extremely low-key during this period, especially after Ye Kunlun died; they dared not show their faces, as the Ye Family had offended many enemies in the past.

But things were different now. Many old monsters within the Dragon Kingdom had died, Qin Chuan had wiped out half of the Martial Arts World overnight, and Ye Canghai had successfully stepped into the Land Immortal realm. This was the moment for the Ye Family to start over.

Ye Canghai looked up to the sky and let out a long howl.

"I will take back everything the Ye Family has lost!"

...

The ruins of the Martial Arts Holy City.

To call it ruins, in fact, not even a speck remained. The debris from the destroyed island had long since sunk to the bottom of the sea. It was as if the island had never existed.

A young girl dove into the bottom of the sea and surfaced about an hour later. For these three days, this young girl had been searching for something on the seabed.

"Xueqing..." A middle-aged man walked over and sighed, "Under such an explosion, Mr. Qin cannot possibly still be alive. Give up." This middle-aged man was none other than Xiao Chuan. And this young girl was Xiao Xueqing.

"No!" Xiao Xueqing could not accept it: "Qin Chuan will not die!" She picked up her diving suit and continued to dive...

Xiao Chuan's expression was full of worry. Even though Xiao Xueqing was a Martial Artist, diving day and night to look for Qin Chuan's figure was something she couldn't endure.

"Sigh..." But in the end, Xiao Chuan could only sigh.

Xiao Xueqing continued to dive. The water pressure was like an invisible giant beast, tightly gripping her limbs and bones. Even though Xiao Xueqing was a Martial Artist, she had her limits. Even knowing that the water pressure had reached her limit, she gritted her teeth and continued downward.

Snap! Snap! The sound of bones cracking could be heard. Xiao Xueqing's face was twisted in pain, and blood was already spilling from her mouth, but she kept biting her lip and continued searching.

"Qin Chuan... I will definitely find you!" She murmured over and over again, her body already completely overdrawn, stubbornly searching for that familiar figure in the boundless deep sea. Her consciousness gradually began to blur. Until a hand grabbed her and brought her back to the surface.

"Xueqing!" "Are you crazy?" Xiao Chuan roared, "Even if you want to find Mr. Qin, you cannot use this suicidal method. You will die, do you know that?"

Xiao Xueqing lay on the speedboat, gasping for air. Her eyes, nose, ears, and mouth... were all bleeding. If Xiao Chuan hadn't appeared in time just now, she would have really died at the bottom of the sea.

But at that moment, Xiao Xueqing seemed to really have a feeling of seeking death. She wanted to just close her eyes and die in this deep sea with Qin Chuan.

Anyone with a shred of reason knew clearly that if even an entire island could be completely wiped out, what chance did a mere person have? Land Immortal? Half-step God Realm? So what? In the end, it was just a person. No matter what, it was impossible to survive that explosion. Even the Earth Martial Arts Alliance had completely publicized the accurate news of Qin Chuan's death. Despair! There was only despair.

But Xiao Xueqing did not believe that Qin Chuan would die like this. Even if everyone thought Qin Chuan was dead, she simply refused to accept fate. "Qin Chuan... I must find him!"

"You..." Xiao Chuan didn't know what to say. Seeing his niece like this, his heart ached.

"Xueqing..." "Mr. Qin is really dead." "No!" Xiao Xueqing roared, "He is not dead!" Saying this, she prepared to dive back into the seabed.

"Xueqing, even if you want to find Mr. Qin, you cannot seek death like this. Rest well, I will go." Xiao Chuan knew he couldn't stop Xiao Xueqing, so he could only join her in this madness.

Time flew by. Half a year passed. On this vast and boundless sea, the speedboat was still there.

Half a year. They had been searching for a full half a year. The Xiao Family had poured a lot of funds and manpower into this sea area, but they still had not found any trace of Qin Chuan.

In fact, many people knew that it was impossible to find him. The reason they couldn't find Qin Chuan, or even a single trace, was because he must have been destroyed along with the island, leaving no bones behind. Under such an explosion, even if the body were made of steel, there would be no remains left.

But Xiao Xueqing was unwilling to give up, and everyone could only accompany her to continue searching.

"How could he still be alive?" "This is a complete waste of time." "Shh, don't talk. We're just here to take the money and work, say less." A few divers had just come ashore and were sitting on the yacht resting, chatting idly.

However, just at this moment. Those few people stared at the yacht on the sea. The leader was a Martial Artist with an extremely powerful aura, with strength at least at the Eighth Realm level. He had a cigarette in his mouth and his eyes were half-closed. "Is that the Oriental woman that Boss Caesar has his eye on?"
