Chapter 651 - 651 Modified 23 Dragon and Tiger Fight
651: Modified: Chapter 23 Dragon and Tiger Fight 651: Modified: Chapter 23 Dragon and Tiger Fight “Who the deer belongs to is yet to be known.”
Xie Xuanyi chuckled softly, suppressing the killing intent in his eyes.
He also knew that this journey south would be filled with many calamities.
However, taking this opportunity, Xie Xuanyi also wanted to see clearly, when the tide receded, who were those hiding behind the scenes, pretending to be harmonious.
“You should stay in the Imperial City for the next few days.”
Chen Jingxuan covered his lips with a silk cloth, coughed dully, and carefully instructed, “Various Holy Lands are drafting the Demon Vanquishing List.
Three days later, the first batch of cultivators from the Holy Lands will all come to the Imperial City.
You can rest well at the Chen Mansion.”
“The one who needs to rest properly is you.”
Xie Xuanyi sighed.
He had now advanced to the Yin God Realm, but his divine thought still couldn’t discern the depth of Chen Jingxuan’s cultivation.
This guy’s realm…
was far higher than the world imagined.
He might have already reached the mountain peak.
But could such a great practitioner at this realm also cough up blood in weakness?
Prying into the secrets of heaven, overdrawing the lifespan.
Brilliant minds die young, compared to his own safety, Xie Xuanyi was more worried about this sickly person in front of him.
“Don’t worry.”
Chen Jingxuan grinned, “…Won’t die for now.”
…
…
Xie Xuanyi left the Book Tower, and Jiang Qihu, who was sitting cross-legged with a knife in his hands, immediately stood up.
“Brother Xie!”
The foolish tiger asked worriedly, “Did you just see Mr.
Chen?
How is he now?”
“No serious trouble.”
Xie Xuanyi paused for a moment, really unwilling to deceive Jiang Qihu, but for the greater good, he had no choice but to say, “But his body is indeed very bad… during these days, he must not be disturbed by outsiders.
Mr.
Jiang, you understand what I mean, right?”
“I understand, of course, I understand!”
Jiang Qihu said in a deep voice, “The Book Tower has been under much attention these years, countless people are watching Mr.
Chen…
These days, I will personally guard here at night with a knife, and I have also ordered the Imperial City Department to set up formations.
These guys, not a single one will disturb his rest.”
“Thank you, Mr.
Jiang.”
Xie Xuanyi thought for a moment and suddenly asked, “I heard that the second young master of the Qin Family has returned to the Imperial City.”
“Yes, Master Tang came with Qin Qianlian that day…”
Jiang Qihu was stunned and said with a frown, “But these days, the Qin Family seems to be not at peace.
I heard that Qin Qianlian’s return to the city this time is to compete for the position of Family Head.”
“Heard?”
Xie Xuanyi probingly opened his mouth.
“I heard it from Qin Baihuang.”
Jiang Qihu did not hide it and said honestly, “A few days ago, we drank together, and he confided in me about his troubles.
After Qin Qianlian returned to the city, he even went to the Imperial City Department to find him for a fight.”
“As far as I know, Chief Qin only knows artifact refining, not fighting.”
Xie Xuanyi said in surprise, “And Qin Qianlian is almost the designated next Pavilion Master of the Taoist Longevity House.
How could they have a fight?”
“Yes.”
Jiang Qihu shrugged, “When I said ‘fight’, I was being polite.
Actually, Qin Qianlian just beat him up.
The second young master of the Qin Family has been cultivating in the Taoist Longevity House for over a decade, and has already reached the late stage of the Yin God Realm.
How could Qin Baihuang be his opponent?
Even wearing a full set of Spiritual Treasure Armor, he could only withstand a few more blows, and he was almost beaten to death.”
“…”
Xie Xuanyi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, “After all, he is a department chief, there’s no need to be so undignified.”
He had seen Qin Baihuang in action not long ago.
This guy had become much stronger than a decade ago…
Yes.
In terms of artifact refining technique.
The armor Qin Baihuang wore was quite impressive, comparable to a Fake Yin God Realm physique.
A full-force attack below the Fifth Realm of the Yin God might not be able to break it.
But in front of Qin Qianlian, this armor indeed seemed fragile…
Without breaking through, Xie Xuanyi was not completely sure he could break that armor.
Many years ago, when they first met.
Xie Xuanyi didn’t take Qin Baihuang’s artifact refining technique seriously, from the bottom of his heart.
It wasn’t Xie Xuanyi’s arrogance.
At that time, young Qin Baihuang’s “artifact refining technique” was extremely unstable, often failing and producing side effects, causing more fright than delight.
This guy always wanted to create the legendary “Thousand Mechanism Umbrella”.
Unfortunately.
Most of his works ended in failure.
So Xie Xuanyi never thought that one day, Qin Baihuang would become the chief of the Refining Department and be able to create top-grade magic artifacts like “Spring Wind” and “Wild Grass”!
Thinking back carefully, since his resurgence in his second life, he hadn’t seen any failed products from Qin Baihuang…
“Bah!”
Jiang Qihu said angrily, “That wasn’t me speaking, it was Qin Baihuang himself.
This guy had too much to drink and vividly described the scene of that day to me.
He said when Qin Qianlian slapped him, he was completely stunned.
That day, the nobles of the Great Chu were celebrating at Yuanqing Building, and he never expected this foolish younger brother who had run away from home for over a decade to secretly come to the Imperial City Department to beat him up instead of attending the banquet!
He wanted to have a proper fight, but the difference in their strengths was too great, there was no fight to speak of.
Qin Qianlian slapped him, breaking his Black Scale Armor and Heart Protector, and almost shattering his bones.”
“…”
Xie Xuanyi fell silent upon hearing this.
Alright.
The good impression he had painstakingly built of Qin Baihuang was completely shattered.
“Do you think this guy is utterly useless too?”
Jiang Qihu lamented, “After all, he’s the eldest son of the Qin Family, getting beaten up by his rebellious younger brother, it’s utterly disgraceful.”
Putting himself in Qin Baihuang’s shoes.
Jiang Qihu was quite angry…
because all his life, he had always been the one getting beaten.
How could he dare hit his sister?
Of course, he couldn’t beat her either.
Imagine if the Jiang Family had a third sibling who dared to challenge the authority, he would definitely subdue that third sibling.
“It’s indeed a bit disgraceful.”
Xie Xuanyi raised his eyebrows, smiled, and said, “But this kind of shameful matter…
how could he tell you?”
“Cough…
Drinking too much, it’s understandable to let things slip.”
Jiang Qihu looked somewhat nervous.
Over the years.
He and Qin Baihuang had drunk together many times, chatting a lot afterwards…
Most of the gossip stories in the Book Tower had spread from him.
“But this guy isn’t as worthless as I said.”
Continuing, Jiang Qihu said seriously, “That day, he refused my offer to help him.
He said losing this fight didn’t matter, the real war is just beginning.
Qin Qianlian came back from the Taoist Longevity House to the Imperial City to compete for the Family Head position.”
“Interesting.”
Xie Xuanyi pondered, “So Qin Baihuang also decided to compete for the Family Head position?”
“Yes.”
Jiang Qihu said solemnly, “He told me not to interfere…
and that he would have a proper battle with Qin Qianlian next.”
“Oh, how will they fight?” Xie Xuanyi asked.
Qin Baihuang wanting to fight Qin Qianlian…
It seemed tense and confrontational, but in Xie Xuanyi’s eyes, there was no suspense.
Between the two, there was practically no contest.
In terms of cultivation level and cunning, Qin Qianlian was far superior.
From his understanding of Qin Baihuang.
This guy was destined to be an artifact refiner, his greatest wish was to hide in a dark corner and focus on artifact refining, having no interest in power struggles.
Even if he wanted to compete this time, it was probably just a momentary spur of the moment.
“The holy edict from Ren Shou Palace has been issued.
Soon, the Holy Land Families will send disciples to gather in the Imperial City and head south to vanquish demons together.”
Jiang Qihu said with emotion, “The Qin Family is the first family in Great Chu, taking this chance to establish merits and decide the winner.
I have a feeling…
a fierce struggle is about to unfold!”
