Live-in Son-in-law

Face-saving issue.

Qin Yi quickly understood that this old fool was wary of Qin Mu, yet was embarrassed to admit it, so he painted sealing his own abilities as having abolished his own cultivation.

Heh, truly thought this old fool had lost all human emotions, turns out he’s still quite concerned about saving face.

Footsteps sounded.

Qin Yi raised his eyes and glanced around, only to see quite a few people gathering around.

Some of them looked familiar, and after a brief thought, it turned out they were seen earlier at the Royal Hunting Ground.

Qin Mu only ice-sealed these people and did not kill them.

Crap!

Qin Yi had a bad feeling in his heart, seeing the unfriendly eyes of these people.

Back then, he smashed the heads of more than ten strong individuals in the Transcendence Tribulation Stage like hacking melons and cutting vegetables. Now that he is rendered useless, how could these people spare him?

Especially with the Emperor’s parting words: Being a human punching bag isn’t bad.

This old fool clearly wants these people to humiliate him.

"Fellow Daoist, we meet again."

An old man with a shriveled face and sneaky eyes stared at Qin Yi, smiling insincerely.

Qin Yi remained silent.

"Fellow Daoist, indeed a person of superior capabilities, truly doesn’t regard us commoners. Fellow Daoist, do you see us as ants now?"

Qin Yi raised his eyes, looking at the speaker, who had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks; this old thing was adding fuel to the fire.

The people around showed even more unfriendly looks at Qin Yi.

"Fellow Daoist’s cultivation was profound, wishing to spar with you, didn’t expect you’d return. How about you grace us with a few more strikes?"

Qin Yi squinted slightly, an old acquaintance, Wei Tianlai.

Should’ve landed an extra punch back then to deal with this old thing.

Wei Tianlai stepped forward, looking mockingly at Qin Yi, playing with the notion: "You might not realize, this fellow Daoist’s cultivation was formidable. Back on the Royal Hunting Ground, he perceived us as grass and even slaughtered more than ten of our royal family Transcendence experts in succession, brutally fierce beyond description."

"Oh, yes! The master was crippled by this person, couldn’t stand the sight."

"The old Emperor apprehended this person just to have him guide us. Everyone, please don’t hold back, ask if you have queries."

Upon hearing Qin Yi slaughtered more than ten of the royal family Transcendence Tribulation Stage experts and crippled Bearded Lao and Li Yuan, people showed fear.

Wei Tianlai sneered: "Fear not! He was already stripped of his cultivation by the old Emperor."

Everyone relaxed at once, curiously sizing Qin Yi up, astonished at how he could alarm the old Emperor.

"Tsk tsk, quite a fair skin he possesses."

"Chen Feng, everyone knows you fancy attractive young men. This one suits your taste perfectly; why not take him home tonight and cherish him well?"

Chen Feng was as bulky as a bear, almost tearing his armor apart, filled with brute flesh, his features fierce enough to scare crying children into silence.

Chen Feng’s liking for young men wasn’t a secret in the royal family.

He ogled at Qin Yi’s... rear.

Qin Yi felt a wave of disgust, his gaze turning colder.

"A bunch of vermin, if my cultivation were intact, would any of you dare stand before me?" Qin Yi sneered, his gaze sharp.

Everyone trembled under Qin Yi’s gaze.

Especially those beside Wei Tianlai, they had witnessed Qin Yi’s ferocity, who slaughtered Transcendance Tribulation Stage experts as if hacking melons and cutting vegetables.

"Clunk clunk clunk..."

Some instinctively backed away a few steps, eyes filled with dread.

Wei Tianlai’s face darkened, sneering: "What’s there to fear? He’s now a mere useless person without cultivation, akin to an ant. The old Emperor said to take good care of him, as long as he’s breathing."

"Anyone wishing for guidance from this fellow Daoist, feel free to step forward, this is a golden opportunity not to be missed."

"I’ll go."

A tall figure clad in armor stepped forward.

His name was Chen Ang, a Hundred Households Captain of the Imperial Guard, at the late stage of Divine Separation.

"Daring to storm the Xuantian royal family, should I commend your courage or foolishness?"

Chen Ang sneered repeatedly, full of disdain.

He, as the Captain responsible for royal safety, could only watch as Qin Yi slipped in undetected, even attempting to burst through the city gates to escape. Had the old Emperor not intervened, he would’ve gotten away.

Qin Yi’s actions caused a collective disgrace and punishment for the Imperial Guard.

Chen Ang was filled with hatred toward Qin Yi.

Casually tossing his Golden Spear to a subordinate, Chen Ang loosened his wrists, looking at Qin Yi with a sinister smile: "Using weapons would be bullying you, barehanded, if you can take a punch from me, I’ll spare your worthless life."

"Boom!"

Cracks appeared in the tiles under Chen Ang, as he shot toward Qin Yi like a cannonball.

Cold light flickered in Qin Yi’s eyes.

"If my cultivation weren’t sealed, you’d be slaughtered like livestock."

"Boom!"

Another explosion echoed, tiles shattering as Chen Ang leapt high, aiming a kick at Qin Yi’s head.

"Humph!"

Instead of retreating, Qin Yi advanced, rushing towards Chen Ang, fist clenched, punching fluidly, striking Chen Ang’s sole.

"Boom!"

The force scattered, sweeping across.

"Ah...!"

Chen Ang let out a dire scream, his entire body flung backward, crashing tens of meters away, clutching his foot, wailing non-stop.

The boot on his foot had burst, blood gushing forth.

Qin Yi’s punch directly shattered his foot bones completely, tearing muscles, rendering him immobile for a month.

Everyone was stunned, their breath catching, watching Qin Yi with dread.

His cultivation was said to be abolished by the old Emperor, yet how could he defeat Chen Ang, a late-stage Divine Separation with a single punch?

Qin Yi’s gaze was as cold as ice, lips sealed.

Wei Tianlai and others were equally shocked, staring at Qin Yi.

Could it be the old Emperor didn’t abolish Qin Yi’s cultivation?

Wei Tianlai, being a sixth-rank Tribulation Crossing expert, quickly discerned the truth.

"It’s physical strength."

Everyone was astonished, eyes focusing on Qin Yi. How could someone’s physical strength be this formidable? Without utilizing cultivation, able to defeat a late-stage Divine Separation expert with a single punch?

...Peerless physical prowess, everyone trembled.

"Very very good!" Wei Tianlai’s eyes were insidious, "Formidable cultivation, peerless physical prowess, even comprehends Spirit Awakening Technique. No wonder the old Emperor said he found us a human punching bag, with such a physique, wonder if it can withstand the torment from so many of us."

Qin Yi’s gaze snapped at him, sharp as a blade, word by word, he declared: "The day I break free will be your death date."

Wei Tianlai felt a chill inside but wouldn’t admit defeat before so many people, sneering: "Break free? You think you can break free? Wishful thinking."

Qin Yi chuckled coldly, "Do you truly think I’m a dragon trapped in shallow waters, a tiger on flatlands?"

"Fish on the cutting board, still daring to act recklessly."

Wei Tianlai raised his hand, power surging in his palm, a burst of white light shot forth, striking Qin Yi’s chest.

Qin Yi punched forth, bringing a gale, directly clashing with the white light.

"Boom!"

The white light exploded, storm surging, the tiles within ten meters of Qin Yi instantly shattered.
