Xuanwu War Sovereign

Chapter 498: Chapter 497: Posing as a Son-in-law?

’What a restless night. One wave has barely passed, and another is already here!’

Qin Feng’s incomparably powerful Spiritual Sense detected the dense patter of footsteps when they were still several miles away.

There were so many footsteps. Even though the group of ’guests’ had deliberately used a Secret Technique to conceal their presence and muffle their sounds, moving without a trace, how could they possibly fool Qin Feng?

He woke up the members of the Qin Family, who had just fallen into a deep sleep.

Qin Qingyun, Qin Qinghong, and the others crawled out of their slumber, their faces pale as they gripped their weapons.

The people of the Qin Family had become as skittish as birds startled by the mere twang of a bowstring.

The three Elders at the head of the group wore ugly expressions.

They looked at Qin Feng, who was frowning.

Every time their Venerable Lord revealed such an expression, it meant big trouble was coming.

The three Elders worried privately, recalling their previous encounters. From Lady Bai Gu to the expert from the Celestial Lion Clan, and even the purple-robed youth who had wanted to take their Venerable Lord’s life—none were opponents the Qin Family could have possibly resisted.

The killing intent they released alone was enough to extinguish any courage to resist from the depths of one’s soul.

"Venerable Lord, who is it this time?"

The leading Grand Elder, Qin Qingyun, asked, fraught with worry.

Shaking his head slightly, a peculiar glint flashed through his eyes. "A group of beauties!"

"Beauties?" Qin Qingyun and the others were stunned. "Could it be..."

RUSTLE!

Just then, Qin Feng’s expression shifted. The sound of rustling leaves reached his ears, and at the same time, the Illusion Array he had set up in the surroundings began to fluctuate violently.

A dozen or so breaths later.

PFFT!

With a soft, subtle sound, the Illusion Array was broken.

’They’re so fast!’

Qin Feng’s expression was grave. The Illusion Array had been shattered by brute force. To be able to break his array in just ten breaths showed that the newcomers’ strength was formidable, in no way inferior to the purple-robed youth from before.

Figures danced in the darkness. The first to come into view was a tall, silver-haired young woman with a graceful and enchanting figure.

She was in the prime of her youth. In the gentle firelight, her face was exquisitely beautiful, and her temperament was cold and aloof.

RUSTLE... With a series of soft footsteps, dozens of other graceful figures gradually appeared in the surroundings.

Qin Feng raised his head and swept his gaze around. On the ancient trees and in the shadows, figures were crouched, and countless sharp arrows in the darkness were aimed at him and his people.

A bone-chilling killing intent formed a Celestial Net of Heaven and Earth, piercing the heart with its coldness!

The Qin Family party was clearly surrounded.

The weakest among those hidden in the shadows were at the Condensing Vein Realm, and among them were four or five who exuded the unique aura of Sea of Reincarnation Realm experts.

The leading silver-haired woman’s beautiful eyes were frigid. She was exceptionally beautiful, dressed in a simple yellow silk robe. Her eyes, like pools of water, held a chill like that of the bright moon of Guanghan, a coldness that seeped into the very soul. Her gaze fell upon the Qin Family members, and an incomparably tyrannical aura emanated from her. She was like the cold moon in the sky, daring no one to look at her directly.

A Martial Arts Giant!

"Who are you? Don’t you know that the Moonless Forest is a forbidden land?" A cold voice rang out, like the tinkling of a spring, or petals falling to the ground—chilly and pleasant to the ear, yet carrying an unquestionable authority.

Her words were accompanied by an exceptionally tyrannical momentum, like a sweeping wave of silver light, chilling people to the core.

The chill descended!

The members of the Qin Family were horrified, like quails in a world of ice and snow. Aghast and pale, some could barely hold their weapons steady.

Seeing this, Qin Feng’s brow furrowed.

His body trembled slightly, and a surging momentum erupted, blocking that cold aura. Qin Feng’s gaze shifted, landing on the leading woman’s waterfall of silver hair.

All the women here had silver hair, which made Qin Feng involuntarily think of his Senior Sister Yue Ji.

The same silver hair, a similar aura.

Qin Feng recalled some things he had seen in Senior Sister Yue Ji’s memories. A flash of Spiritual Light went off in his mind, and his hands quickly intertwined, forming a Seal Technique.

It was a strange Seal Technique, shaped like a full moon.

BUZZ!

As the Seal Technique was completed, wisps of silver radiance appeared on his palms, forming a silver crescent moon.

Its faint, cold light illuminated the darkness around Qin Feng, revealing pairs of pretty faces, all showing considerable surprise.

The leading cold and stunning woman frowned. Her chilly, beautiful eyes fell on Qin Feng’s hands, and her slender brows furrowed. The next moment, she looked up at the black-robed youth and spoke.

"This is the unique Treasure Moon Seal of our Silver Moon Race. Who on earth are you?"

The stunning woman was secretly puzzled. ’This Treasure Moon Seal is an identity marker of the Silver Moon Clan. It’s extremely private and is generally not passed on to outsiders. Unless... it’s passed on to one’s own husband! Could the boy before me be the secret lover of one of my clanswomen?’

As these thoughts turned in her mind, Qin Feng spoke. "I have a good friend named Yue Ji. We are very close. She once told me that this Treasure Moon Seal is a symbol of friendship from the Silver Moon Clan!"

Qin Feng didn’t even blink as he told the lie.

Given his relationship with Yue Ji, there was no way she would have taught him the Treasure Moon Seal. He had clearly spied on the young woman and learned it last time using the Taiyin Reincarnation Great Divine Power.

Thanks to those dozens of romantic reincarnations, the silver-haired girl had suffered quite a bit at his hands. Her mind had been poisoned by his ’romantic strategies’, and he had managed to worm almost all of her secrets out of her.

"Yue Ji? Isn’t that the Princess? This..." The stunning woman’s expression was a little strange. ’Could this boy be Princess Yue Ji’s beloved? But didn’t Princess Yue Ji say she didn’t have a beloved? Could she be hiding it from the Queen...’

’Hmm, this boy’s looks aren’t bad, and at such a young age his cultivation has reached the Sea of Reincarnation Realm. That does make him a match for the Princess. I just don’t know about his background... And how far have things progressed between him and the Princess!’ The stunning young woman’s gossip-loving heart was burning brightly.

Qin Feng felt that something was off. The woman opposite him had a very strange expression!

"So you’re a friend of Princess Yue Ji!" The leading stunning woman’s expression relaxed.

She sized up Qin Feng and the slightly bewildered members of the Qin Family behind him, then smiled. "Since you are a friend of Princess Yue Ji, then you are naturally friends of our Silver Moon Clan as well. I imagine you, little brother, are also a fellow disciple of our Princess? I wonder which Venerable you study under? And what business brings you to our Moonless Forest?"

Seeing the yellow-robed woman probing, Qin Feng replied, "I am Qin Feng, a newly promoted Inner Sect Disciple of the Star Sect. I’m ashamed to say I haven’t yet entered the Ancestral Hall!"

After speaking, Qin Feng pointed at the group behind him and said with a smile, "These are the disciples of my family. We entered the Moonless Forest simply to take a shortcut to Yunhu City!"

"Qin Feng?" Hearing his name, the leading stunning woman’s eyes lit up.

"Are you *the* Qin Feng? The Elder Cyan Dragon, a top-three finisher in the Star Martial Arts Assembly, and the chief Alchemist of the Medicine King Hall?"

Qin Feng looked at the leading woman in surprise. "That’s me. Has the young lady heard of my humble name as well?"

"You may not know, Young Master, but your name now shakes the entire Domain of All Stars. A fifteen-year-old Fourth Grade Alchemist, a top-three finisher in the Star Martial Arts Assembly, a Sealed Marquis Genius of the Star Sect—your reputation is as loud as thunder!"

The silver-haired young woman’s eyes held a look one would reserve for ’one of their own’. She called out to those behind her, "Sisters, come on out! This is a friend of our Princess Yue Ji and an honored guest of our Silver Moon Clan! Send a sister to inform the Elders that a distinguished guest has arrived!"

After speaking, she turned to him with a radiant smile. The yellow-robed young woman’s chilly facade melted away, revealing a charm that was beyond words.

"Young Master Qin, since you’re passing through the Moonless Forest, why not pay a visit to our Silver Moon Clan? It would save us from being blamed by the Princess later for not taking good care of an honored guest!"

Qin Feng chuckled lightly. "Since the young lady insists, it would be my honor to accept."

Qin Feng was secretly puzzled. ’I had previously guessed that Yue Ji might be a member of the Silver Moon Clan, but I never imagined she was actually their princess. The Silver Moon Clan, after all, has produced countless experts since ancient times. To think Yue Ji’s background is so astonishing. I’ve shown up at the Silver Moon Clan’s doorstep pretending to be her friend. If she finds out later, I wonder how I’ll deal with the fallout?’

Qin Feng felt a headache coming on.

After all, he, Qin, had seriously offended Yue Ji last time.

Last time, he had forcibly used the Taiyin Reincarnation Great Divine Power to bombard Yue Ji with so many romantic dramas, making that innocent maiden experience pregnancy, childbirth, and so many other things not suitable for children.

’Given Yue Ji’s temperament, who knows how she’ll decide to settle the score with me?’

What he, Qin, didn’t know yet was that the Silver Moon Clan wasn’t just treating him as an ordinary honored guest, but as the future husband of the Silver Moon Clan’s future queen...
