Bang!
Qin Long threw a punch towards the man in black behind him.
To be honest, after being ambushed so many times, Qin Long had developed a psychological shadow.
For some reason, when facing Qin Hui, Qin Long felt like he just couldn't kill the guy.
He was even more resilient than a cockroach.
Damn it, could my luck be any worse than yours?
Am I not going to be able to kill you today?
No one knew the pressure Qin Long was under.
However, this time, the outcome Qin Long expected didn't happen; instead, he was sent flying.
Only a Grandmaster could send a Master-level figure like Qin Long flying.
But in Qin Hui's memory, he didn't recognize any Grandmaster-level individuals.
What's more, there were only a handful of Grandmasters in the entire Dragon Country.
Such figures were all pillars of the community. If Qin Hui knew someone like that, would he still be suffering like this?
Not only Qin Hui, but Wang Xiaoyan beside him was also stunned. When had she ever seen such a scene?
After repelling Qin Long with a single blow, the man in black waved his sleeve, and Qin Hui and Wang Xiaoyan immediately fell unconscious.
"Who exactly are you?"
"I am the eldest son of the Qin family. Senior, aren't you acting out of line? Besides, what merit does Qin Hui have to warrant your intervention?"
Qin Long said, his face filled with panic. Although his strength allowed him to roam freely in Yan Jing, he was far inferior to the powers outside of Yan Jing.
The opponent's strength was definitely at the Grandmaster level. Facing such a distinguished figure, only the Qin family's Old Ancestor could contend with him.
He, Qin Long, was nowhere near enough.
However, he knew all the Grandmasters in Dragon Country. They were all venerable elders. When did such a person suddenly appear?
Therefore, in Qin Long's mind, this man in black was undoubtedly an foreign power, otherwise, why would he be here!
"This is not something you need to know. Rest assured, I will spare your life today as a gesture of respect to the Qin family!"
The man in black was not stingy with his words, directly stating his intention.
However, before Qin Long could feel fortunate to be alive, the man in black flashed to his side and grasped Qin Long's bones with his hands.
A series of cracking sounds echoed through the forest, like soybeans being fried in a pot.
Qin Long's bones were all crushed in a short moment, he didn't even have time to scream.
A Grandmaster humiliating a Master, it only took one move!
This was the gap in realm and strength!
The man in black casually tossed Qin Long aside, then took Qin Long and Wang Xiaoyan away, one in each hand.
As for Qin Long's safety, the man in black was not worried. Qin Long was the eldest son of the Qin family. If he hadn't returned for so long, the Qin family would likely have already sent people looking for him.
As for what the Qin family would think afterward, it no longer mattered, because the man in black's objective had been achieved.
As for who would be held accountable in the end, it would be pinned on Qin Hui, and it would never reach him.
…
Three days later, in the Qin family hall.
"Patriarch, the young master's life has been saved, but his martial path is likely ruined from here on."
The attending physician said helplessly. He had never seen such a tragic scene. After all, the pain from having one's bones crushed was not something an ordinary person could endure.
Qin Long, lying on the hospital bed, had hollow, vacant eyes, no different from a vegetative state.
It was known that Qin Long was the future hope of the Qin family, but he had been crippled by someone.
"Impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
"Do I not know Qin Hui's strength?"
"Besides, Long'er even used a life-saving pill. Who could kill him?"
The Qin family Patriarch was furious. After all, Qin Long was the one he had painstakingly groomed.
The only one who could kill Qin Long was a Grandmaster. But when had the Qin family ever offended a Grandmaster?
Besides, he knew all the Grandmasters in Dragon Country. They would not act for the sake of a Qin Hui. Even if they did, they could not escape his notice!
The Qin family members watched this scene with mixed emotions of shock and schadenfreude.
The Qin family was vast, and it was impossible for everyone to be of one mind.
Now that Qin Long was completely crippled, the position of Young Master of the Qin family was naturally vacant.
Those with talent and strength naturally wanted to contend for this position. As long as one became the Young Master of the Qin family and remained humble, the entire Qin family would belong to them.
As long as they didn't offend anyone like Qin Hui, they would live happily.
The disciples who grew up in the Qin family knew best how to bide their time and gather strength.
"Patriarch, since things have come to this, why don't we think about what to do next."
A highly respected elder stepped forward and spoke, clearly intending to use this opportunity to put his grandson in power.
As for revenge?
Heh, could a Grandmaster who could defeat Qin Long be offended?
Wouldn't it be better to live honestly?
"Yes, Patriarch. The opponent's strength is that of a Grandmaster. Even if we seek revenge, we can discuss it later."
Many people stepped forward to agree.
Bang!
Old Master Qin slammed his palm onto the sandalwood, and the table instantly turned to dust.
Seeing this, everyone immediately fell silent. Old Master Qin was not to be offended, or they wouldn't know how they died.
"I know what schemes you are all hatching in your hearts. Isn't it all for the position of the Young Master?"
"Fine, very good. I will give you this opportunity. Whoever can avenge Long'er will be given the position of the Young Master of the Qin family!"
Old Master Qin said indignantly.
Hearing this, everyone stammered and remained silent. Only a Grandmaster could contend with a Grandmaster, and they would rather stay put than face a Grandmaster.
"What? Not talking now? Have you all become useless?"
Old Master Qin shouted coldly!
Looking at these descendants, Old Master Qin was speechless. They acted arrogantly in front of others, but fell silent when they encountered someone stronger.
However, thinking about it, the Qin family was a large family, and it could not be without a leader for a day.
Old Master Qin had long since given up the idea of controlling the family. He only wanted to cultivate peacefully and seek revenge. As for managing the family, he hated such troublesome matters because it would delay his cultivation time.
Therefore, the Qin family could only be handed over to the younger generation.
Old Master Qin's gaze swept over everyone. These people were far inferior to Qin Long, otherwise, he wouldn't have focused on cultivating Qin Long back then.
However, Old Master Qin's gaze finally settled on Qin Yufei. Looking at his beautiful granddaughter, Old Master Qin quickly made up his mind.
In recent years, Qin Yufei had been cultivating diligently on her own, and her strength had already reached the Half-step Master realm.
If the cultivation resources had been tilted towards Qin Yufei back then, her achievements might have surpassed Qin Long's. It was a pity that she was a woman.
However, Old Master Qin didn't think too much about it now. After all, they were all children of the Qin family. The most important thing was that Qin Yufei perfectly met his expectations.
"Yufei, come here, stand by Grandpa's side."
Old Master Qin rarely showed a smile.
Qin Yufei, standing in the crowd, was stunned. Being intelligent, she naturally understood the Old Master's thoughts, but Qin Yufei did not want to get involved in these troublesome matters.
