To be honest, Ye Yu’s emotions were extremely complicated right now!
He had known this young master of the Qi family for less than half an hour total.
Yet not only had he obtained information about Han Qianzhang, he had also personally witnessed the entire process from the man’s dramatic entrance to his sudden death.
Aside from always wearing that serious expression, this guy was basically a complete chaos magnet!
Even his death had been absurdly decisive!
Seriously, after all that buildup earlier, Ye Yu had genuinely thought he was capable of killing his father.
Who would have thought that after only a short while, his father would still be alive while he himself died first?
If that was the result, then what exactly had all that buildup even been for?!
Still, this was not the time to complain. There was still one extremely important piece of information he had not obtained yet.
Ye Yu immediately tried to gather Qi Jiang’s divine soul, but he was already too late.
Qi Jiang’s divine soul had shattered during the battle earlier.
Now it was so fragmented that it could not even be collected anymore!
How was this supposed to work now? If that was the case, who exactly was he supposed to ask about Duan Nianzhi’s whereabouts?
Ye Yu felt like he was about to go crazy!
At that moment, divine power surged from Han Yuexi beside him.
“Han Qianzhang isn’t his opponent. I need to help him!”
After throwing out those words, Han Yuexi lightly tapped the ground with the tip of her foot and prepared to rush forward.
But Ye Yu pulled her back yet again!
“Help with what? You’re only in the Golden God Realm, so stop trying to show off. Stay here and watch properly. Once Qi Renjia exhausts Han Qianzhang’s divine power, it’ll be much easier for us to take him away!
Don’t forget, our main target is Han Qianzhang!
We’re not here to help him fight some meaningless battle!”
There was no denying that what he said made sense, but Han Yuexi’s eyes were still filled with worry.
Left with no choice, Ye Yu could only continue patiently persuading her for a while longer before finally calming her down completely.
Honestly speaking, Han Qianzhang’s current strength truly was astonishing.
With only mid stage Ancient God Realm cultivation, he had actually forced Qi Renjia, a Divine Lord Realm expert, into a draw!
Fighting above one’s cultivation realm was usually something that only happened with Ye Yu.
The fact that Han Qianzhang could achieve this much was already incredibly impressive.
But the difference in cultivation realms was like an enormous chasm. As time passed, that gap would only continue widening.
A short while later, Qi Renjia gradually began gaining the upper hand.
Ye Yu truly could not understand what Qi Jiang had been thinking.
What exactly made him believe Han Qianzhang could definitely kill his father?
Did he really think the ancient violent aura inside Han Qianzhang would simply let him brute force through everything?
Boom!
A deep muffled sound suddenly rang out.
The entire Qi family estate shook violently.
Seeing this, Qi Renjia’s expression changed drastically. He would rather forcefully endure Han Qianzhang’s full power attack than remain where he was. Transforming into a streak of light, he shot directly underground.
Such abnormal behavior immediately made Ye Yu suspicious!
What exactly was hidden beneath the Qi family?
What could possibly make Qi Renjia care this much?
Driven by curiosity, Ye Yu decided to follow and investigate as well.
Before leaving, he specifically instructed Han Yuexi to remain where she was and continue observing the situation carefully.
No matter what happened, she was to immediately contact him through the communication stone.
As for your younger brother Han Qianzhang...
Wait.
Where was he?
Did he go down there too?
Then you definitely need to stay outside even more!
If Han Qianzhang comes back out later, it’ll be easier for you to track him here!
After arranging things with Han Yuexi, Ye Yu also transformed into a streak of light and followed after them.
Unexpectedly, beneath the Qi family was an enormous blessed cave heaven.
At the entrance were clear signs that a formation had been forcibly destroyed. The ground was covered in black scorch marks.
Apparently, someone had forcefully broken through the formation and entered this place.
That was what had caused such a massive disturbance earlier!
Boom! Boom!
Two more muffled sounds echoed from deeper inside!
Without hesitating, Ye Yu concealed his presence and rapidly advanced forward.
Inside the innermost ancient hall, he finally saw Qi Renjia.
At this moment, a massive wound stretched across Qi Renjia’s back, blood continuously dripping from it.
He held an ancient lamp tightly in his arms while confronting three people.
One of them was Han Qianzhang.
The other two were Cui Beiye and Cui Fenglang from a branch of the Cui family.
“I don’t understand. Why? Why is even your Cui family opposing me? You insist on stealing the treasure of the Qi family? Are you trying to start a war between our two families?”
Qi Renjia glared viciously at Cui Beiye, roaring furiously as though venting all the hatred in his heart.
Cui Beiye raised a hand and pointed toward a landscape painting hanging on the northern wall, sneering coldly.
“The Ink Washed Green Mountain Painting. This was the life bound divine artifact of Cui You from our Cui family branch.
Eight hundred years ago, he mysteriously disappeared.
Afterward, we investigated through many channels and finally uncovered some clues.
Following the sensing technique of the Cui family, we eventually tracked the trail here.
Did you perhaps forget what Cui You looked like? Not very tall, with the face of a youthful boy.”
Qi Renjia’s heart suddenly sank.
Subconsciously, he blurted out, “He was from your Cui family? I didn’t know. He never revealed his identity. That day, he was the one—”
Before Qi Renjia could finish speaking, Cui Beiye raised his hand and interrupted him.
“There’s no need for excuses. Whoever kills a member of the Cui family will have their entire bloodline buried with them. That is the rule.
So tell me... are you prepared to die?”
Before his words had even fully fallen, Han Qianzhang had already transformed into another streak of light and charged toward Qi Renjia again.
He was like a machine devoid of emotion, knowing only slaughter!
Cui Fenglang quickly moved to Cui Beiye’s side and whispered, “Cousin, why don’t we retreat first? Qi Renjia’s a tough opponent! With just the two of us, we may not actually be able to take him down!”
That was the honest truth!
Both Cui Fenglang and Cui Beiye were only early stage Ancient God Realm cultivators.
Facing a Divine Lord Realm expert like Qi Renjia was honestly far beyond what they could handle!
Originally, their mission had only been to investigate the true cause of Cui You’s death.
Now that they had found Cui You’s relics and caught the culprit red handed, the truth had already been perfectly confirmed.
Under normal circumstances, they could have simply left already.
But seeing Qi Renjia’s injured state, Cui Beiye hesitated.
Fortune favored the bold.
Besides, there was still that mysterious unknown person helping consume Qi Renjia’s strength.
In the end, they might actually be able to steal the final kill!
Cui Beiye hardened his resolve and declared in a muffled voice, “Cousin, we’re not leaving! We’ll fight Qi Renjia to the bitter end! I believe we’ll definitely achieve final victory!”
Cui Fenglang’s expression instantly became incredibly colorful.
Cousin... where exactly did your confidence come from to say something that fearless?
Meanwhile, because Qi Renjia was already injured and still had to remain wary of sneak attacks from Cui Beiye and Cui Fenglang, he had gradually begun showing signs of exhaustion.
Han Qianzhang was steadily suppressing him.
Just as defeat seemed imminent, Qi Renjia suddenly slammed a fist into his own chest.
The tremendous force immediately caused him to spit out a mouthful of blood onto the ancient lamp in his arms.
Instantly, a crimson light burst forth brilliantly!
Han Qianzhang, who was standing extremely close, was immediately affected.
His body suddenly froze in place, and his eyes turned blood red.
Several breaths later, Han Qianzhang’s divine soul was forcibly extracted from his body and drawn into the ancient lamp.
His body collapsed limply to the ground.
After resolving his greatest threat, Qi Renjia tightly gripped the ancient lamp in his right hand and slowly walked toward Cui Fenglang and Cui Beiye.
