Chapter 627 - 627 8 Goodbye
627: Chapter 8 Goodbye 627: Chapter 8 Goodbye The secret chamber of the Refining Department was silent, sparks splattering onto the ground and gradually dissipating.
After the flames burned out.
In the dim secret chamber, there were only two long-separated brothers reunited.
But at this moment, there was no joyful harmony.
“His death was an accident.”
Qin Baihuang removed his mask, his expression complex: “I’ve already investigated…
During the Northern Hunt of the Great Yue Kingdom, coinciding with the southern advance of the Five-colored City, Wanyang died at the hands of the Demon Race.”
“Is that so?”
Qin Qianlian said gloomily: “But how did I hear that Xie Zhen killed him.”
The Taoist community currently holds two opposing views on Xie Zhen.
One faction stands with Taishang Pavilion Master Li Chen.
These people believe that the deaths of Xie Sheng, Fang Hang, and Qin Wanyang were all caused by Xie Zhen.
The other faction stands with the Yuqing Pavilion.
During the Northern Hunt of the Great Yue Kingdom, Yuqing Pavilion was saved from disaster thanks to Xie Zhen’s intervention.
“…”
Qin Baihuang remained silent.
“I know, you have a good relationship with Chen Jingxuan and Xie Xuanyi.”
Qin Qianlian said coldly, hands behind his back: “But as the eldest son of the Qin Family, you should always prioritize the family’s interests.
Just because Xie Zhen is Xie Xuanyi’s disciple, did you let him go?”
“I have my own judgment on the truth of this case.”
Qin Baihuang, unwilling to continue this topic: “If you came to see me today just to say these things…
then you can leave now.”
He extended his hand and pulled out a second scorching hot iron rod from the sword casting furnace.
Hiss hiss hiss!
With a slight shake of his wrist.
The iron rod, already solidifying into the form of an embryo, emitted a crisp sound, meanwhile sending golden sparks shooting everywhere.
The entire chamber became radiant.
Qin Qianlian sighed lightly.
Looking at the man in black armor, adorned with treasures, before him, he shook his head, a regretful tone in his voice: “Brother, during all these years I’ve been diligently training in the Taoist sect…
have you been hiding underground in the Refining Department, studying these useless things?”
Qin Baihuang’s face gradually darkened.
He slowly turned his head, gazing at his disrespectful brother.
In the next moment.
Qin Qianlian suddenly moved, his white hair and white robe fluttering in the wind, and in the blink of an eye, he was before Qin Baihuang.
“Boom!”
The large quiet room erupted with a roar.
Qin Qianlian raised his hand with lightning speed, his sleeves billowing, and a snow-white hand stamped directly towards Qin Baihuang’s chest.
The Qin Family is the wealthiest martial arts family in the Da Chu Dynasty.
But unfortunately, both sons of the current family head have no interest in martial arts.
Qin Baihuang was obsessed with artifact refining, Qin Qianlian pursued Daoist skills.
Although “the Dao has no superiority or inferiority,” when it comes to actual combat, artifact refining techniques…
indeed fall short.
The moment Qin Qianlian moved, the heart protector on Qin Baihuang’s chest began to tremble.
The Refining Department Chief, already aware of the ill intentions of his visitor, gripped the iron rod and swung it down unceremoniously.
Originally a simple and unadorned strike, with his backward horizontal pull, Qin Baihuang’s black armor began to emit a deep, low hum, each piece of scale armor seeming to come alive, erupting in a raging burst.
The ground beneath him cracked and shattered, spreading into a constantly expanding black web.
In the Great Chu Imperial City, the status of cultivators from the Refining Department was quite high.
Whether royal family or holy land families, they treated them with the utmost respect…
for a simple reason, the Refining Department provided substantial treasure support to the Great Chu Imperial City, and although these cultivators’ personal cultivation levels were not high, their bodies were adorned with supreme treasures.
“Rumble.”
In the roar, time seemed to slow down.
Qin Baihuang frowned.
In disbelief, he looked at the scene before him.
The “blazing iron rod” in his iron-gloved palm was supposed to lash onto Qin Qianlian’s arm like a whip.
But at the moment of contact.
The blazing iron rod passed through the white robe and white sleeves.
The sparks shooting in all directions like an inverted rain, Qin Qianlian’s sleeves seemed to turn into nothingness, just passing through the defensive stance.
The palm gently pressed onto Qin Baihuang’s chest armor.
“Bang!”
The force of five fingers seemed negligible.
But Qin Baihuang’s vision went black.
He heard the sound of his heart protector shattering, no…
not just the heart protector, the entire black scale armor was smashed to pieces by this palm!
With a roar.
His whole body was sent flying, crashing into the iron wall of the Refining Department’s secret chamber.
Sparks flew, crackling and falling.
The secret chamber returned to darkness.
The white robe and white sleeves floated and settled.
Qin Qianlian flicked his sleeves, saying expressionlessly: “I’ve told you long ago, artifact refining technique is the most useless…
do you believe it now?”
Qin Baihuang clutched his chest.
The blackness before his eyes gradually receded, his sea of energy surging, though it was not very painful.
Though he was reluctant to admit it.
But…
this palm, indeed, held back its strength.
“Rest assured, I only used thirty percent of my strength.”
Qin Qianlian looked down at his brother on the ground, his voice disdainful: “Not practicing martial arts is one thing, but even neglecting basic cultivation.
So many years have passed, and you have only one dilapidated Cave Heaven.
With such cultivation, how can you take the position of Qin Family Master?”
This armor, indeed worthy of being called sturdy.
But once shattered.
Merely in the Cave Heaven Realm, how could it withstand the next killing move?
“Qin Family Master…”
Qin Baihuang leaned against the iron wall, rubbing his chest, and after a long while, let out a playful sigh.
Qin Baihuang slowly raised his head, looking at his younger brother, and said with a sorrowful expression: “So you came to see me today because of this?”
“…”
This time it was Qin Qianlian’s turn to remain silent.
“Today is a good day for your return to the capital.”
Qin Baihuang looked at Qin Qianlian’s handsome face, sighed, and said: “Leaving aside the grand banquet at Yuanqing Building, you chose to visit your long-neglected elder brother…
I did not expect that you would want to intimidate me into voluntarily giving up the upcoming ‘family head election’?”
