Volume One, Chapter Eight: Overpowering Strength

This time, even Qin Xiaotian, the head of the Qin family, could no longer stay idle.

"One move severely injures the Third Elder?"

Qin Xiaotian was utterly shocked and taken aback.

As the patriarch of the Qin family, Qin Xiaotian was only at the fifth rank of the Spirit Transformation Realm, the weakest among the heads of the three great families.

Although he possessed the strength to severely wound the Third Elder with a single strike, at this moment he felt uncertain.

However, with such a formidable adversary boldly coming to their doorstep, if he did not step forward, the Qin family might truly be drenched in blood.

"The head of the Qin family has arrived!"

"I wonder who is stronger—Chen Fei’s brother or Qin Xiaotian?"

The onlookers, ever hungry for drama, especially relished the spectacle involving such a prominent figure as Qin Xiaotian. It was a story they could feast on for a lifetime.

Qin Xiaotian approached the entrance, glancing at Qin Cheng, whose foundation had been shattered, then at the severely injured Third Elder, and finally fixed his gaze on the furious "Chen Yang," who wore an iron mask.

At that moment, Qin Xiaotian, peering through the mask, seemed to see Chen Fei’s face.

“Is it really him?”

“Impossible. His dantian was destroyed, and he lost his Three-Eyed Spirit Sight—that’s an ironclad fact.”

“Could it be that Chen Fei lied? That he’s not an orphan, but actually has a powerful family backing him?”

Seeing Chen Fei behind the mask stirred many thoughts in Qin Xiaotian’s mind, and he felt some regret—not for having crippled Chen Fei, but for Qin Shuang’s hasty intervention, which left hidden dangers and allowed Chen Fei’s kin to come searching.

“Chen Yang?” Qin Xiaotian cleared his throat, hesitating to strike immediately, uncertain if he could match the man before him.

“Qin Xiaotian, you finally come out?” Chen Fei clenched his fists instinctively, suppressing the murderous intent that burned within him, unwilling to strike hastily.

“Chen Yang, since you are Chen Fei’s elder brother, even if you hadn’t come to find me, I would have sought you out,” Qin Xiaotian spoke with feigned sorrow. “I treated your brother Chen Fei like family, never imagining he would poison me and scheme to seize the Qin family’s fortune.”

“Even so, I cannot bear to kill him outright. I want to see if your Chen family still has any conscience, if you can bring your prodigal son to repentance…” Qin Xiaotian lamented with a sorrowful and reproachful tone.

Watching Qin Xiaotian’s pathetic performance, Chen Fei felt nothing but disgust and refused to listen further. He sneered coldly, “If you want to know right from wrong, Patriarch Qin, why not bring out Qin Shuang? If she doesn’t have the Three-Eyed Spirit Sight, I’ll end my life here today.”

At this declaration, the crowd eagerly chimed in, urging Qin Xiaotian to summon Qin Shuang and reveal the truth to all.

Qin Xiaotian’s expression darkened. With no choice left, he furrowed his brow and said, “My daughter Shuang is extraordinarily gifted. Not long agoI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
