Chapter 228: Senior, I’ve come again
"Everyone, please calm down first."
Qin Chuan raised both hands, pressing his palms downward, and said:
"Actually, what you should be doing now is being grateful that you’re still alive and appreciate my mercy in not killing you."
Appreciate your grandfather!!!
The crowd roared in their hearts.
Of course, it was only a roar in their hearts.
Because they suddenly realized that their lives were now in someone else’s hands, acting too arrogantly was not wise.
They were at the mercy of others, like fish on a chopping board.
They had to endure.
However, asking them to say something out of character, like words of gratitude, was impossible.
They still had some dignity left.
So, everyone remained silent.
They thought that since this person hadn’t killed them directly, there must be some concerns. As long as they didn’t provoke him, there was a good chance they might survive.
"Hmm, you’re right, you all are the elites of the Red Ming Domain, from various major powers. If I killed you, the powers behind you would definitely investigate, and I wouldn’t be able to escape."
Qin Chuan said with a smile:
"So, I’m not killing you today; I’m just after your wealth... that is, when we leave this secret realm, I’ll let you go."
Their eyes flickered.
Not sure what they were thinking.
Just then, Qin Chuan continued, "However, to prevent you from retaliating after getting out, I have to take some precautionary measures."
Everyone’s hearts tightened!
But Qin Chuan comforted them with a smile, "No need to be nervous; actually... I’ve already done it while you were unconscious."
"What?!"
Everyone was shocked.
Some beautiful women even turned pale, suddenly crossing their arms over their chests, trying to clench their pelvic muscles several times.
To check if everything was still intact.
"Yes, while you were unconscious, I’ve already examined and recorded your details with the Memory Stone..."
As he spoke, he waved his right hand, and many Memory Stones appeared beside him, fanning out.
Like a big shot selling CDs on Earth.
Simultaneously, he gave a meaningful glance at their key areas, including the crotch and chest...
"Shameless!!"
"Despicable villain!"
Several women cursed in shame and anger on the spot.
Some women shyly lowered their heads, realizing that the padding in their bras was gone...
Some men turned beet red, eyes evasive, showing signs of insecurity; it was clear that not all men were as confident as they appeared, with some very evident shortcomings.
Seeing this, Qin Chuan knew he had intimidated this group.
So he put away the Memory Stones and said with a smile:
"I hope after leaving the secret realm, you won’t make things difficult for me. Otherwise, I’ll make many copies of these Memory Stones and spread them out. I believe there’s a market for this kind of stuff..."
The crowd gritted their teeth.
But they were helpless.
Thinking about the consequences of these things being spread, they couldn’t help but feel a chill down their spines, shivering uncontrollably.
That would be a complete disgrace!
"Alright, after we get out, we’ll pretend we’ve never met you. Just don’t do anything foolish."
One of them said.
"Hmm, I’ve never seen you!"
"I don’t know you either."
The others echoed in agreement.
Of course, many clever ones had already spotted a loophole—they couldn’t openly seek revenge or hunt him down, but they could secretly plot against him, frame him, and sow discord!
By then, if he was pursued by some powerful beings for other reasons, it wouldn’t be their problem.
Moreover, in the uncertainty of whether it was them causing trouble behind his back, he wouldn’t dare to easily disclose these recordings, because once he did, the powers backing them would be thoroughly enraged, leading to more serious consequences.
"Heh, even if you think you’re smart, you’ve missed a point, just wait to suffer a silent loss!"
"All brute strength, but unfortunately, too narrow-minded, with an incomplete perspective."
"Heh, still too young."
These clever individuals coldly chuckled in their hearts.
Yet outwardly, they still wore a timid expression, as if they had been thoroughly subdued, daring not to resist.
Regarding their intelligence, the "very young" Qin Chuan felt quite pleased.
Of course, he tacitly understood as well.
In this world, everyone is very clever, there are never foolish people, and this is exactly the situation that deceivers love.
Because people who are too foolish are harder to deceive.
Qin Chuan could already foresee:
When Qin Xiaozhu, full of joy, arrived at the Red Ming Domain, he would definitely be stabbed in the back by many people smiling, and then look bewildered, because in his view, these people had no reason to harm him.
There is absolutely no motive!
These people naturally wouldn’t say a word about it either.
And to prevent "Qin Zi" from spreading those Memory Stones around, they would even go to great lengths to prove their innocence.
In this way, Qin Xiaozhu would be completely bewildered—just who is this treacherous commoner plotting against my reign?
"Alright, you’re free now."
After a long time, Qin Zi smilingly removed the Law restraints from these people.
Everyone regained their freedom.
"Kill!!"
"Die!"
Several genius figures suddenly erupted, ready to launch a counterattack, but Qin Chuan punched out, Divine Power surging into the sky!
"Puff puff puff!"
These genius figures were smashed away like withered leaves, even their clothes completely shredded.
Utterly miserable.
"Hmph, if I dared to release you, I’m not afraid of you turning on me. Even if you all attack together, I wouldn’t mind cleaning you up as well!"
Qin Chuan hovered in the air, his presence exuding a terrifying aura like that of a primordial beast, making people’s scalps tingle.
Although he suppressed his cultivation aura, the true power he used already exceeded the Fourth Heavenly Layer Saint realm. These people couldn’t see the truth, only thinking that this person was too perverse, so strong it was unbelievable!
Immediately, no one dared to make a move.
"I’m leaving, see you again someday."
Qin Chuan said lightly, then flew toward the distance, quickly disappearing from everyone’s sight.
And these genius figures, after exchanging glances, all averted their eyes in shame—earlier they had been pretentious together, showing off, but now they were all in such a sorry state.
Fellow travelers fallen into the same plight, why must they pretend to be strangers?
The crowd didn’t greet each other anymore, and instead silently took to the air, flying in different directions.
They all needed some quiet time.
As for dealing with that "cursed" guy, they could only bury it in their hearts and definitely not speak it out.
Meanwhile.
After leaving the crowd, Qin Chuan once again flew towards the abyss where Emperor Kun was located.
He planned to swipe the treasures from those dozen or so Celestial Eternal Race spies—especially the Compass that verified the Celestial Eternal Race’s bloodline, which might come in handy later.
Actually, he hadn’t forgotten to clean the battlefield earlier.
It was just that at the time, to act convincingly in front of Emperor Kun, he deliberately fled in a panic, rolling and crawling away.
After all, with the Martial Emperor of the opposing side suddenly breaking through, he might break the seal at any moment. A Fourth Heavenly Layer Saint would certainly be scared out of his wits on the spot, without even considering picking up things on the ground!
That was normal logic!
And so much time had passed without the other side breaking free of the seal, so the fleeing guy calmed down and decided to go back and take a look, wanting to pick up the spoils on the ground, which was also quite normal.
This also seemed more like a young person’s style, very much in line with Qin Xiaozhu’s sneaky, cowardly, and self-preserving nature.
...
Beneath the abyss.
On the altar, Emperor Kun was still locked onto the pitch-black Cursed Stone Pillar, with his limbs pulled by chains.
This altar was continually suppressing and siphoning his power, but the breakthrough in his realm had revitalized his body, with power surging continuously, opposing the altar.
"Crack, crack crack..."
Thin stone flakes were occasionally peeling off his body, revealing the ancient bronze-colored skin underneath, savage and fierce.
His body was gradually recovering from a petrified state, transforming from a colossal statue into a living, flesh-and-blood body.
"Boom boom boom!"
From within his chest, the heartbeat grew stronger, like thunder rumbling, shaking the mountains and rivers.
One could even faintly hear his blood flowing, like the thawing of an icy river, gradually starting to flow, and the flow speed was increasing, with momentum growing like a great river rushing!
This Martial Emperor, once on the brink of exhaustion, was reviving in ruin, like an awakened deity, beginning to show his prowess.
"Little bastard of the Nine Heaven Realm, if I ever see you again, I will tear you to pieces and torment your Primordial Spirit for ten thousand years!!"
Emperor Kun roared like a wounded lion.
Not far away, those dozen or so corpses lay like daggers stabbed into his heart, making his heart bleed.
Yet at this time.
A familiar head sneakily poked out from the edge of the abyss, seemingly with the body lying on the cliff’s edge, only sticking out the head, probing the situation of the abyss below.
"It’s you!!!"
Emperor Kun instantly saw the sneaky head and was immediately furious, an immense energy bursting from his entire being.
