"What!"
Crack!
Luo Tianyang's teacup fell to the ground.
He pushed himself up abruptly, standing.
He felt a sway and dizziness.
His eyes closed, shaking his head slowly.
After a long while, he exhaled a turbid breath.
When he opened his eyes again, they were as calm and steady as a deep well.
This man was a ruthless figure feared throughout Long Country, the supreme leader of Yin Ren, Luo Tianyang.
The Luo family of the capital, a top-tier prominent family even in the formidable capital of Long Country.
They were once powerful enough to challenge the five great aristocratic families.
After the Qin family vanished overnight, rumors spread that the Luo family would become the new fifth aristocratic family in the capital.
All of this was thanks to Luo Tiansheng, the patriarch of the Luo family, having a capable younger brother, Luo Tianyang, the supreme leader of Yin Ren.
"How did Luo Ying die?"
Luo Tianyang's voice revealed no joy or sorrow, but everyone could feel the chilling intent behind his words.
Before Luo Tianyang, the three of Xue Tu knelt on one knee, not daring to look up.
They had only just learned that the unreliable Xue Ying, who had been with them all along, was actually named Luo Ying.
And he was the youngest son of the supreme leader of Yin Ren!
The young master of Yin Ren!
Even more crucially, Luo Ying had perished in Luochuan, and they hadn't even managed to retrieve his remains.
Had they known this sooner, they would have risked their lives to protect Xue Ying.
Luo Tianyang, their supreme leader, was a genuine peak Grandmaster expert.
"Supreme Leader, the situation this time is rather complex,"
Xue Tu dared not look up, and as he braced himself to speak, he was interrupted by Luo Tianyang.
"Just answer one question." Luo Tianyang sat back in his wooden chair, his expression shifting slightly.
"Tell me, who did it."
"Qin Xuan."
"Qin Xuan?" Luo Tianyang frowned, perhaps thinking for a moment, then pointed at Xue Tian.
"Was Blood Protector also injured by a Qin Xuan?"
"The Supreme Leader sees clearly."
"Qin? A surname Qin, Hmph, Hahaha." Luo Tianyang laughed sinisterly.
"People surnamed Qin are truly unexpected. Like wildfire, they can never be completely extinguished, and with the spring breeze, they return. In just three short years, someone surnamed Qin has resurfaced."
"Supreme Leader? Could it be..."
Xue Tu's heart sank, and he looked up at Luo Tianyang.
"Hmph." Luo Tianyang snorted coldly.
"Xue Tu, I thought you were mature and steady. Now, I see you've greatly disappointed this Venerable."
Xue Tu quickly lowered his head. In his haste, he shouldn't have spoken. The matter of the Qin family in the capital three years ago was a taboo; no one dared to ask, for those who did were no longer alive.
Luo Tianyang said no more, raising his hand and drawing Xue Tian, who lay on the stretcher, towards him.
In the Grandmaster realm, telekinesis was commonplace.
Although Xue Tian was a Master, his cultivation was lost, and his consciousness unclear, he could naturally be pulled over by Luo Tianyang, a Grandmaster.
Placing a hand on Xue Tian's head, Luo Tianyang circulated his internal energy.
A mouthful of dark red, congealed blood spurted from Xue Tian's mouth. Although he still looked weak, Xue Tian slowly opened his eyes.
"Sup...reme... Leader..." Xue Tian said weakly.
"Tell me, what happened." Luo Tianyang glared, then sighed.
Xue Tian's eyes were filled with terror, as if he didn't want to mention Qin Xuan.
"He is a remnant of the Qin family. Whose offspring is he?"
"He... he is..." Xue Tian trembled, hesitant to speak.
"Speak!"
Luo Tianyang's low growl startled Xue Tian.
"Someone who could injure you like this is not simple. Apart from that person from the Qin family, who else could possess such skill? If there were, why didn't they come forward to save Qin Xuan back then?" Luo Tianyang mused.
Xue Tian swallowed, and after a long moment, said,
"He... is that person's son!"
"What!" Luo Tianyang's face was filled with disbelief.
Seeing this, Xue Tian continued,
"I'm afraid he is no different from you, Supreme Leader."
"A Grandmaster!" Luo Tianyang was even more shocked.
A remnant of the Qin family was a Grandmaster!
This news was like a blow to the head. If he was a Grandmaster, then the Luo family was in danger!
"A Grandmaster, perhaps even a top-tier Grandmaster who has touched that threshold! He defeated me... with ease." Xue Tian said with some shame.
"Blood Protector has quite a high evaluation of him." Luo Tianyang smiled, his smile gradually turning ferocious.
"Unknown and unheard of, yet a Grandmaster. How could such a person be unknown? Investigate him thoroughly. If the remnants of the Qin family are not eradicated, my Luo family, and even Yin Ren, will be in danger!"
