Family Turmoil

After hearing Lin Bei's words, Qin Hao stared passionately at the Kunlun Mirror in Lin Bei's hands.

Seeing this, Lin Bei hurriedly put the Kunlun Mirror away, pointed at Qin Hao, and said, You brat, what crooked ideas are you brewing now?

Qin Hao laughed out loud. That's a personal attack! What crooked ideas could I possibly have? We're bros~

Lin Bei coldly snorted, his face full of disbelief. I'm not helping you, I'm doing this to help my master. Once we finish exploring this secret realm, I'll accompany you to that Immortal Ancient Battlefield. We'll test the Kunlun Mirror and see if we can open a passage.

Qin Hao nodded. Thanks, brother.

Lin Bei waved his hand dismissively. Stop being so mushy. Let's go and finish exploring this place first.

A dark light flashed in Qin Hao's eyes as he immediately sliced open the demonic beast's stomach. Then, they walked out from inside the beast. As soon as they emerged, the foul stench faded significantly.

Beneath their feet was no longer sticky flesh and blood, but hard, smooth jade.

This is the real secret realm. That demonic beast was quite insidious, guarding the entrance and directly swallowing anyone who came in, Lin Bei sighed, curling his lips.

Qin Hao didn't speak, simply continuing deeper. Before long, the three of them saw a massive space, so large that they couldn't see the end of it. The sight before them left the trio stunned in place.

Treasures! Mountains of piled-up treasures!

Wow, there are way too many treasures here! Chen Qingning's mouth was open so wide it could fit an egg. She had seen her fair share of treasures, but a scale like this was something she couldn't even dare to imagine, let alone see.

Lin Bei was the first to react. Let's not waste words! It all depends on our own abilities now, you two!

With that said, Lin Bei immediately began stuffing the treasures into his inner world.

Seeing this, Qin Hao hurriedly took out his spatial ring and also started packing in various natural treasures, immortal stones, and immortal artifacts. Although he wasn't short of wealth, who would ever complain about having too much money?

A quarter of an hour later, Lin Bei clapped his hands in satisfaction. Looking around, the originally mountainous piles of treasures were completely gone. Not a single spirit stone remained; everything had been swept clean by him and Qin Hao.

Awesome! Lin Bei let out a long breath, his face full of a satisfied smile.

Qin Hao also put away his last spatial ring. He was much calmer than Lin Bei. After all, the Desolate Ancient Qin family's foundation was immense; obtaining these treasures was merely icing on the cake for him.

Qin Hao glanced at the empty space and his gaze fell on Chen Qingning. He and Lin Bei had moved too fast and fiercely. The items here were basically snatched up entirely by the two of them, leaving Chen Qingning with hardly any benefits.

Qin Hao walked over to Chen Qingning, took out a spatial ring, and handed it to her. Here.

Chen Qingning shook her head. This is yours, keep it for yourself. Although I didn't grab as much as you two, I still managed to get some.

Hearing this, Qin Hao rubbed Chen Qingning's head. What do you mean yours or mine? It's all ours. Just take it.

Upon hearing Qin Hao's words, Chen Qingning's small face flushed, and she shyly accepted his spatial ring.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. I was wondering where that sour stench of romance was coming from. Turns out it's radiating from you two. Stop dawdling and let's go. Aren't we supposed to head to the Immortal Ancient Battlefield?

The trio left the secret realm. Upon seeing Lin Bei, the woman outside the secret realm wearing a bridal gown came up to greet them.

Lin Bei? Who are these two?

Jiang Xinxin was full of confusion. How did these three end up together?

Lin Bei smiled. Let me introduce you. This is Qin Hao, the Emperor Son of the Desolate Ancient Qin family. This is his Dao companion. We can tentatively be considered friends.

What! Lin Bei's words set off stormy waves in Jiang Xinxin's heart. The Emperor Son of the Desolate Ancient Qin family? Lin Bei was friends with someone like that?

Qin Hao glanced at the two of them and urged, Hey, it's time to go!

Hearing Qin Hao's words, Lin Bei patted Jiang Xinxin's shoulder. You head back first. I still have some matters to handle with them.

After saying that, Lin Bei quickly walked up to Qin Hao. Qin Hao took out a jade pendant from his robes. As spiritual energy was injected into it, a radiant light instantly enveloped the three of them.

Qin Hao planned to return to the Qin family first to bring along Ah Long and Ah Hu. After all, they were heading to the Immortal Ancient Battlefield, a place extremely dangerous even for Immortal Emperors.

With just the three of them, Qin Hao was afraid that an accident might occur.

In the next second, Qin Hao and the others appeared in front of a majestic and imposing manor. Lin Bei raised his head, looked at the residence before him, and his pupils suddenly shrank.

Is this the Desolate Ancient Qin family?

Before Qin Hao could answer, his brows furrowed fiercely.

Something was wrong.

Why were the two guardian beasts at the entrance dead?

Men! Qin Hao took large strides into the clan grounds. His voice echoed through the empty estate, but no one answered him.

Qin Hao's heart sank heavily. He led the two into the Qin family grounds, only to see signs of ransacking everywhere. Debris was scattered all over the ground, looking as if they had been robbed.

Qin Hao, this... Chen Qingning looked at the scene before her, her eyes full of shock. This was the Desolate Ancient Qin family! What on earth had happened?

Lin Bei didn't speak, merely scanning the surroundings with a vigilant gaze.

Just then, the sounds of fighting came from deep within the clan grounds.

Let's go take a look!

Qin Hao's expression grew darker and darker. He took Chen Qingning and Lin Bei and hurried over, following the sounds of combat.

In front of a secret realm entrance, two groups of people were confronting each other. On one side were the people of the Qin family, led by Shen Suning, the only remaining Immortal King of the Qin family today.

Qin Hao didn't recognize the people on the other side, but they were uniformly dressed in golden robes, with a large character for Qi embroidered on their chests.

Don't go too far, you people of the Qi family! The ancestors of our Qin family are merely trapped in an alien realm, they haven't died there! How dare you loot a burning house! Have you forgotten our alliance?

Facing Shen Suning's accusations, the leading Immortal King cultivator of the Qi family remained indifferent. Oh my, why are you Qin family members so stingy? We just want to borrow your Qin family's secret realm for a bit. It's not like we won't return it. You blocking us like this makes things very difficult for me.

Bah! Shen Suning spat fiercely. Borrow? Qi Heng, you call this fucking borrowing? Bringing tens of thousands of people to attack my Qin family, killing my clansmen, and snatching our treasures—you call this borrowing?

Qi Heng's smile did not waver. Look at what you're saying. The Qin family is in trouble right now, so we are extending a helping hand by guarding the secret realm for you. This is out of the goodness of our hearts. How can you be so unappreciative and blame me instead?

Bullshit! Since when did our Qin family need the Qi family's help? Return our things! Otherwise, the day our Qin family ancestors return will be the day your Qi family is wiped out!

Standing to the side, Qin Hao could no longer hold back and immediately stepped forward to confront Qi Heng. The Qi family, the weakest among the Desolate Ancient families, with only a dozen or so Immortal Emperors and Immortal Kings combined, actually dared to come to their Qin family to rob and plunder!
