Qin Xuan and Mo RuShuang turned around at the same time.
In front of them stood a middle-aged man in a mask, emitting a terrifying chill all over his body.
"Hand it over yourself, or shall I take it by force?" the man's voice sounded as if it came from the nine nether hells.
Qin Xuan and Mo RuShuang exchanged a glance without the slightest hesitation, both stretched out their palms.
Bang bang bang!
After just a few exchanges,
Qin Xuan and Mo RuShuang were beaten back step by step.
The two martial arts masters working together couldn't even touch the hem of the opponent's clothes!!
"Give it here!"
The middle-aged man struck out again, not giving Qin Xuan and Mo RuShuang the slightest chance to catch their breath. With one palm he beat them back, decisively snatched away the wooden box, and left without any intention to fight on, turning around and running away.
"Stop right there!"
Qin Xuan chased after him.
The middle-aged man sneered coldly: "Don't waste your energy, you are not qualified to possess this wooden box yet. Come back after you have opened your Celestial Eye!"
As he finished speaking, the middle-aged man's figure quickly disappeared.
Qin Xuan and Mo RuShuang looked at each other, both felt extremely shocked.
That man actually knew about opening the Celestial Eye?
After breaking through to the fifth layer of the Ancient Magic Formula, one could open the Celestial Eye and peek into all the ghosts and gods of the world!
This was a secret that only the inheritors of the Xuan Medical Sect would know.
What was that middle-aged man's origin!
"He must have been sent by one of our senior sisters." Qin Xuan frowned.
"I think so too." Mo RuShuang nodded.
Both of their faces were very solemn.
Originally, the few senior sisters had divided the wooden box between them and fled from the Grand Scholar Village overnight, which was already puzzling enough.
Now, at this subtle point in time, someone was sent to snatch away this wooden box, making the whole thing even more obscure!
Not much later.
Gu Simin came back.
When she learned that the wooden box had been snatched away, Gu Simin was furious!
Qin Xuan and Mo RuShuang did not dare to speak.
After Gu Simin finished venting, her eyes even turned wet with tears streaming down her face, "I've said it many times, some people can no longer be trusted. Now that the one I was hiding has been taken away, it could very likely speed up the death of my junior brother!"
"Eldest senior sister, what exactly is hidden inside that I couldn't open it?" Qin Xuan asked.
"Shut up!"
Gu Simin grabbed the bridge of her nose, dizzy with anger, "Don't you dare step out of the villa for the next week, or I'll break your legs!"
Qin Xuan had never seen the eldest senior sister so angry before, he wanted to say something several times but eventually went silently upstairs.
If Master had not died, there would not be so-called heirlooms.
Then now, all of them would still be enjoying a godlike life in the Grand Scholar Village...
Qin Xuan was full of melancholy.
At the same time.
In a hotel suite.
The middle-aged man knelt on one knee in front of a woman in a leather jacket, handed over the wooden box, and said respectfully, "By a fortunate coincidence tonight, I have unintentionally achieved something..."
The woman in the leather jacket took the wooden box. There was a hint of helplessness in her gloomy eyes, "This thing is not something martial arts masters of this level are qualified to safeguard. My eldest senior sister should not have meddled half a year ago, leaving it with her is no different from leaving it with my junior brother."
"In that case, shouldn't it be safest with your eighth senior sister, whose martial arts have reached the level of gods and demons, guarding it alone..." the middle-aged man said in a low voice.
"No one can be completely trusted. It doesn't take many moles, just one is enough to overturn the whole game. And just getting all the wooden boxes is not enough to achieve a certain purpose."
The woman in leather jacket's eyes became increasingly profound, "Ultimately, my junior brother still plays a decisive role. In the end, no one but him can open these wooden boxes!"
The middle-aged man suddenly realized.
No wonder Qin Xuan was in constant danger.
Once one or some moles got all the wooden boxes, they would surely point their spears directly at Qin Xuan in order to open them smoothly!
"Then at least he is safe for now, because the current him can't open the boxes either." The middle-aged man said.
"Soon, my junior brother is extremely talented, the day he reaches the level where his martial arts become magical should not take too long, definitely not more than three years!" the woman in leather jacket asserted.
Speaking to this point, the woman in leather jacket changed the subject, "Did you kill Gao Qingyang's three men without leaving a trace last time?"
"No trace left!"
The middle-aged man said solemnly: "Killed with one strike, no trace left. And Wei Kuangsheng is busy preparing for the martial arts tea party, he won't put his mind elsewhere for the time being."
Martial arts tea party?
The woman in leather jacket secretly calculated.
She thought that by then, even if Wei Kuangsheng knew the truth, her junior brother would be completely different from now!
...
The next day.
Qin Xuan went out despite the eldest senior sister's words.
Lv Yingxin drove him to the north gate of Yun City University, "Master Qin, I pulled some strings last night and got a job as a security guard here. Call me anytime you need."
This man was quite capable.
Worried that he might not come to Qin Xuan's aid swiftly enough when needed, he actually took up a security guard job.
"Okay."
Qin Xuan nodded.
Just as Lv Yingxin was about to park the car, several sports cars suddenly surrounded them.
Then, over a dozen young beauties gradually came into view.
"Get out of the car!"
A young man in Armani kicked Qin Xuan's car door and arrogantly shouted, "Get the hell out!"
Qin Xuan got out of the car calmly.
The young man in Armani cocked his head arrogantly and questioned, "Are you Qin Xuan? I heard you slapped Feiyu yesterday?"
"Jiang Feiyu's people?" Qin Xuan asked back.
"Not yet, but we're working hard to become his people!" The Armani young man said.
Qin Xuan instantly understood.
Judging by their family background, these people seemed quite well-off, but there was still a big gap compared to real young masters like Jiang Feiyu.
They were now actively trying to get on Jiang Feiyu's good side, volunteering to vent his anger, hoping he would look upon them favorably.
"Let me advise you, don't force yourself into circles you don't belong to." Qin Xuan said lightly.
"Who the hell are you to lecture me?"
The Armani young man waved his hand arrogantly, "Brothers, smash this crappy Benz, then beat this punk half dead and take him away to see young master Feiyu!"
Everyone immediately started getting restless.
Just then.
A few more young men and women walked over this way.
Among them, right in the middle, was Chen Yan!
And the three young men beside her were all influential figures on campus. Even if they couldn't compare to Jiang Feiyu, they weren't far off.
It's fair to say.
Aside from Jiang Feiyu and a few other sons of the four major families, these three beside Chen Yan were the most dazzling among all the students of Yun City University!
"Zhao Ming, Dai Yunze, Shi Fan!"
The Armani young man was frightened and hurried up obsequiously, "Young master Ming, young master Ze, young master Fan, what brings you here."
The three disdained to speak to such small fries.
Even Chen Yan was too lazy to glance at the Armani young man, but looked directly at Qin Xuan, with rather complicated eyes.
She instinctively wanted to lecture Qin Xuan a few words, but remembering her father's instructions last night, she forcibly held it back.
"Qin Xuan, my dad and I had a long talk last night. Some things I've said before, my tone may not have been very good... Actually I didn't mean any harm, hope you don't take it to heart. Chen Yan said.
Qin Xuan was quite surprised.
He didn't expect Chen Yan's personality to actually take the initiative to say these things to him.
Based on this, Qin Xuan nodded.
Chen Yan took a deep breath and continued, "You go on to school first, I'll take care of things here!"
When she said this, Chen Yan was full of confidence.
Even her gaze seemed to unintentionally want to show off her excellence in front of Qin Xuan.
No matter what, Qin Xuan's words last night "The so-called beliefs you speak of seem ephemeral to me" had provoked her self-esteem.
So today she took the initiative to walk with Zhao Ming and the others, indicating that she was willing to blend into their circle.
Chen Yan wanted to prove with this that Qin Xuan, no matter how outstanding among peers, had no right to say those words to her!
Especially at this moment, with one sentence from her she could help Qin Xuan resolve the current trouble, she even felt somewhat complacent.
However.
Qin Xuan shook his head and said lightly, "Thank you, but I understand your kindness. You should know my personality, since they intend to smash my car, then today, their cars will inevitably not get away undamaged."
Chen Yan bit her lip, trying to stay as calm as possible: "I know you're very skilled, they definitely can't beat you, but wouldn't it be better to resolve this peacefully? I'm sincerely trying to help you."
"Hmm, so I've already thanked you," said Qin Xuan.
He could sense that Chen Yan was somewhat different from before, probably due to the influence of Chen Aifeng.
But this was a matter of principle.
People who provoke Qin Xuan cannot get away unharmed!
"Forget it, Yan Yan. Since he's unappreciative, if you keep insisting it will just make you look bad. Let's go," said Zhao Ming coldly.
He glanced at Qin Xuan indifferently, as if Qin Xuan was beneath his notice and unworthy of entering his vision.
Qin Xuan paid him no heed, and simply gestured at Lv Yingxin with his eyes.
Lv Yingxin nodded, immediately rushing out and starting to smash up the cars!
The destructive power of a half-step Grandmaster was far beyond what any iron rods could achieve.
Under the incredulous gazes of the Armani youths, Lv Yingxin made short work of smashing those sports cars into piles of scrap metal!
"You, you dare smash my car?!" the Armani youth was furious to the point of steaming from all seven orifices.
"F*cking pig brain, they're already smashed to bits, and you're still asking that?"
Lv Yingxin slapped him flying with a palm, then stomped down viciously with one foot.
Crack!
The Armani youth's finger bones were crushed on the spot by the stomp, and he let out bloodcurdling squeals like a pig being slaughtered.
The rest of his companions were scared witless, their faces pale as paper!
Qin Xuan's expression was indifferent as he turned to leave.
It was as if the wreckage before him was a trivial matter, unable to stir any ripples in his heart.
Watching Qin Xuan's retreating figure, Chen Yan clenched her teeth tightly, feeling both aggrieved and irritated.
She was really not even worth a glance from him?
She had taken the initiative to help him, yet he was completely unappreciative?
Qin Xuan, why do you have to be so arrogantly aloof? Do you have to wait until some real heavyweight puts you in your place before you'll act with more restraint?!
Chen Yan mentally roared.
Zhao Ming, Dai Yunze and Shi Fan exchanged glances, shook their heads in unison, their eyes full of disdain.
Such a vulgar person would never ascend to the halls of true refinement!
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"

nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
