Xuanwu War Sovereign

Chapter 516: Chapter 515: The 800 Side Sects: Lei Ming Sect (Part 1)

It was not so simple to comprehend the fifth and sixth Void Mystical Meanings.

Even possessing the seedling of a descendant of the Void Divine Level Spirit Root Chaos Ancient Tree, his progress was slow.

Qin Feng was finally experiencing just how tough the Void Element was to master.

If even he, with such uniquely favorable conditions, found his cultivation slow, it would likely be even more arduous for others.

Qin Feng calmed his mind and patiently focused on his comprehension, bit by bit, deepening his understanding of the four Void Mystical Meanings he already possessed.

The Void Mystical Meanings were vast and profound.

The Void encompasses all things; it is the grandest of all.

However, over the past few days, by using the Mystical Meaning of Void Travel, Qin Feng had sensed a certain rhythm of void vibrations.

This was the fifth Basic Mystical Meaning of the Void: Void Vibration.

Comprehension of a Mystical Meaning usually began with its Basic Mystical Meanings.

The symbol of reaching Great Perfection in a Basic Mystical Meaning was condensing its Origin.

But to bring the Origin to Great Perfection, one had to ascend step by step, using the Basic Mystical Meanings as a foundation to comprehend nine Advanced Mystical Meanings.

The symbol of achieving Perfection in all nine Mystical Meanings was condensing an Eternal True Soul.

What was an Eternal True Soul? Once condensed, even if the physical body perished, the True Soul could attach itself to an unborn child in a mother’s womb, be reborn, and live another life.

In the main hall of the City Lord’s Mansion.

"Venerable Lord, most of the leaders from the Twelve Aristocratic Families and the Three Major Chambers of Commerce have already visited. They are willing to honor our Qin Family as their suzerain. A few other families have also sent people to negotiate, but there are still some details to discuss!"

"The four great families also sent congratulatory gifts. These are properties and shops in prime locations in Yunhu City, including grain shops, rice shops, and several inns and restaurants. They are all excellent sources of income!"

"In addition, there are several major gangs, the Cao Bang..."

Listening to these numerous trivial matters, Qin Feng frowned slightly. As the Qin Family Master, he couldn’t be bothered to manage such things, yet as Qin Family Master, he had to be in control of them.

These things were of no use at all to First Master Qin.

But for the newly founded Qin Family, they were an indispensable source of wealth.

A great family, aside from its Clan Leader, Elders, and disciples, also had many lower-level personnel, such as guards, gatekeepers, Shopkeepers, and servants who worked under the Shopkeepers for the family.

All of this required a steady supply of funds and goods.

Without lower-level personnel, a family couldn’t function relying solely on its Elders and disciples.

Qin Feng grew impatient, thinking to himself, ’It seems establishing a family really does take a lot of mental energy. I should delegate authority and cultivate more Elders who can take charge of their own areas!’

He waved his hand.

In the great hall, Qin Qinghong stopped his report.

He looked at his Venerable Lord with a puzzled expression.

Qin Feng waved his hand again and said, "Qin Qinghong, you are the Second Elder of Yunhu City. From this day forward, all these matters are your responsibility. Handle them well for me, and I, the Patriarch, will guarantee your advancement to the Sea of Reincarnation Realm!"

Qin Qinghong was slightly stunned, a flash of excitement in his eyes.

"Yes! Your subordinate obeys!"

Advancing to the Sea of Reincarnation Realm was Qin Qinghong’s greatest wish.

In the entire Qin Family of Mountain and River City, there was only one Sea of Reincarnation Realm Martial Artist.

A Sea of Reincarnation Realm Martial Artist was a major figure wherever they went; becoming the ancestor of a thousand-year-old family would be an easy feat.

Qin Feng glanced at the Qin Family disciples in the hall, their faces filled with envy.

"The same goes for you. Do your jobs well. Yunhu City has over a dozen major towns under its jurisdiction. It’s not impossible for you to establish your own sects and become ancestors, founding branch families for our Yunhu City Qin Family!"

"Yes, thank you, Venerable Lord!"

In the great hall, everyone’s eyes shone.

To be sent out to a major town and become the ancestor of a branch family—such a wonderful prospect was something many family disciples dreamed of.

They could establish their own ancestral temple, their names passed down for ten thousand years.

In a way, this was another form of eternal legacy.

This was the original motivation for this group of Qin Family disciples from Mountain and River City to follow Qin Feng.

Just then, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the hall.

His ears twitched. Qin Feng looked up toward the outside of the City Lord’s Mansion, where Qin Yumei’s graceful figure appeared, rushing up the steps.

"Venerable Lord, this is bad! An Elder from the Wang Family just sent word that the Five Great Families have joined forces with the Whale Shark Race in Cloud Lake!"

"What?"

The atmosphere in the great hall changed instantly.

Qin Qinghong’s face was aghast. "Have the Five Great Families gone mad? How could they dare to do such a thing!"

The Whale Shark Race was one of the three hegemons in the waters of Cloud Lake. This race had enormous bodies, like giants of the water, and possessed innate Divine Abilities to control rain and thunderbolts.

Once the warriors of their race reached adulthood, they could easily possess power comparable to a Condensing Vein Realm Martial Artist.

There were many powerful experts in this race, and it was rumored that their Clan Leader was also a Martial Dao Great Power.

Qin Qingyun’s expression was grim. "Have the Five Great Families lost their minds? Don’t they know that this is like letting a wolf into the house!"

"No, I don’t think they’re crazy. They must have been colluding with the three great Alien Races all along!" Qin Feng opened his eyes, a cold sneer flashing within them.

"That can’t be, right?" The expressions of the Qin Family members changed.

"It’s true. I’ve looked into the origins of the Five Great Families. In the history of Yunhu City, it’s not that other families haven’t tried to establish themselves here. As far as I know, over the last few centuries, several Martial Arts Giants have attempted to put down roots, but without exception, those powerful experts who founded families all mysteriously disappeared under unclear circumstances!"

A cold sneer tugged at the corner of his mouth as Qin Feng walked down from the main seat.

"I originally thought the Five Great Families were behind it. Now, it seems they worked with the three great Alien Races of Cloud Lake, using them to eliminate outsiders!"

Qin Qingyun was furious. "How dare they be so bold as to collude with an Alien Race! Aren’t they afraid of the Star Sect’s thunderous wrath!"

"What wouldn’t they dare? As long as the profit is great enough, a little risk is nothing!"

Qin Feng wasn’t surprised at all.

As long as the potential gains outweighed the risks, someone would do it.

Qin Feng himself was an adventurer; in his previous life, he had gotten his start through robbery.

If the profit was sufficient, he would even dare to ambush and kill a Major Sect’s True Inheritance disciple.

The Qin Family members exchanged glances, and finally, Qin Qingyun stepped forward and said,

"City Lord, what do we do now? Should we strike first?"

Qin Feng pondered for a moment. Just then, a commotion erupted outside the City Lord’s Mansion, and he frowned.

At that exact moment, a Qin Family disciple rushed in from outside the City Lord’s Mansion in a panic.

"Venerable Lord, this is terrible! There’s a group of people outside trying to force their way into the City Lord’s Mansion!"

There was no need for the report. Qin Feng’s vast Divine Thought had already sensed several auras outside the City Lord’s Mansion, far stronger than that of ordinary Martial Artists.

One of the auras was like Celestial Thunder, explosive and filled with immense destructive power.

With a flash of black light, Qin Feng’s figure appeared outside the City Lord’s Mansion in the next instant.

BOOM!

From a distance, a clap of thunder echoed.

Accompanied by the smell of something being roasted, three figures were sent flying backward like cannonballs, sparks of lightning flashing across their bodies.

BANG!

Qin Feng looked down. Three Qin Family disciples lay at his feet, their bodies scorched by lightning, barely clinging to life.

At the same time, a voice, chilling yet melodic, rang out.

"Tell your City Lord to come out. I will count to three. If he doesn’t show himself, I will slaughter everyone in this City Lord’s Mansion! I’ll make sure that not even a chicken or a dog remains!"
