After settling the bill at the back, Qin Hanchu left the venue with his auctioned item.
Half an hour later, Qin Hanchu arrived at a villa.
This villa was an asset of Qingshan Investment Company, and Qin Hanchu’s helicopter was parked in the villa’s courtyard.
“The Pingluan Army is on their way. Should we wait for the followers?” Wanto asked.
Qin Hanchu smiled and replied, “Let’s go back to Island City first. These followers will catch up.”
With that, everyone boarded the helicopter.
By the time the Pingluan Army’s sniper team arrived, Qin Hanchu had already left Quancheng by helicopter.
In fact, Wanto had already sent people to monitor every camp of the Pingluan Army.
As soon as the enemy dispatched anyone, Wanto would immediately receive the news.
It was precisely because of this that Wanto knew the enemy’s sniper team had arrived.
As for the followers, they referred to Jin Aoyun and Jin Longxing.
As Qin Hanchu left Quancheng, the auction officially ended.
At that very moment, Shen Jiuxiao walked out of the hotel where the auction was held.
“That kid said he was going to kill me, why did he run? He’s lucky he got away, otherwise I definitely would have…”
*Pfft!*
At that instant, a steel arrow pierced Shen Jiuxiao’s throat, silencing his unfinished words. Qin Hanchu had said he would kill him, and he would definitely kill him!
Shen Jiuxiao’s death shocked everyone.
No one had expected Qin Hanchu to keep his word.
Once Shen Jiuxiao stepped out of the auction, it was his time to die.
Upon returning to Island City, Qin Hanchu went directly to the Blood War Army’s base.
Blood Wolf had already prepared all the necessary tools for him here.
Qin Hanchu could brew medicine here and attempt to break through to a higher realm.
With the Blood War Army protecting him, Qin Hanchu could focus without any worries.
Qin Hanchu had even taken leave from the Military Academy.
As soon as Qin Hanchu entered seclusion, Jin Aoyun arrived in Island City with Jin Longxing.
Just as they were about to look for Qin Hanchu, Old Ghost appeared before them.
“Are you the Jin family’s ancestor?” Old Ghost asked coldly.
“Peak Grandmaster? What business do you have with me?” Jin Aoyun asked, puzzled.
“For the next few days, Master will be attempting to break through his realm and will not have time to entertain you two.”
“We ask that you stay in Island City for the time being.”
“After Master comes out of seclusion, I will arrange for you two to meet him.”
“Master? Who is your Master?” Jin Aoyun asked in surprise.
“Qin Hanchu is my Master.”
“What? You, a peak Grandmaster, are actually a slave to Qin Hanchu?” Jin Aoyun was extremely shocked by Old Ghost’s words.
In the martial arts world, a peak Grandmaster was an absolute top-tier expert.
As long as the Great Grandmasters did not appear, peak Grandmasters were the strongest.
Such an expert was willing to be Qin Hanchu’s servant?
Qin Hanchu was only at the ninth rank!
“You will know the specific reason soon.” After speaking, Old Ghost turned and left.
The next day, a peak Grandmaster from the Shen family in Fujian Province arrived in Island City with a group of powerful individuals.
Their purpose was to avenge Shen Jiuxiao.
Although Shen Jiuxiao was not the most outstanding among the younger generation, he was a direct descendant and held a noble status!
Qin Hanchu killing him was tantamount to declaring war on the Shen family.
As soon as the Shen family’s experts emerged from the airport, Old Ghost and his four companions blocked their path.
“If the Shen family seeks revenge, you should bring your family’s ancestor here,” Old Ghost said to the Shen family’s peak Grandmaster.
“Who are you?”
“The one who ordered the killing of Shen Jiuxiao is our Master.” Old Ghost replied.
Upon hearing this, the Shen family’s experts were filled with rage.
“You kill my Shen family member and dare to come and provoke us? You are seeking death!” The Shen family’s peak Grandmaster roared and charged at Old Ghost with overwhelming fury.
Old Ghost met him with a cold laugh, and then the battle between him and the Shen family’s peak Grandmaster began.
At the same time, the other experts of the Shen family also made their move.
Their opponents were Old Ghost and his four companions.
Although the Shen family had brought many martial artists, only four of them were true Grandmasters.
In terms of overall strength, Qin Hanchu’s side had a slight advantage.
The unfortunate Shen family martial artists were beaten back by Old Ghost and the five others before they could even catch a glimpse of Qin Hanchu.
The old residence of the Shen family in Fujian Province.
The Shen family’s peak Grandmaster entered the ancestor’s room with his head bowed.
“Reaching the ninth rank at such a young age, and having a peak Grandmaster as a slave?” The Shen family ancestor, with his face full of wrinkles, exuded an aura of twilight.
“Hmm, it is rumored that he is a direct disciple of the divine physician Hu Qingshan.”
Upon hearing this, the Shen family ancestor’s eyes brightened. He said, “Can we find Hu Qingshan through him?”
“It is said that Divine Physician Hu has already passed away.”
This news caused the Shen family ancestor’s gaze to dim.
If Hu Qingshan were still alive, he might have had a chance to extend his lifespan by a few more years.
He hadn’t expected Hu Qingshan to be dead.
“So be it. I shall do something for the family before I die,” the Shen family ancestor sighed.
After a day and a night of brewing, Qin Hanchu’s medicine was finally ready.
In the following days, Qin Hanchu began his attempt to break through his realm.
To reach the late stage of Great Grandmaster was no simple matter.
It took him five days and five nights before he successfully broke through.
Qin Hanchu’s body was surrounded by a nearly transparent force of energy.
This was the martial arts’罡气 (gang qi)!
The martial arts’ 罡气 was immensely powerful, capable of withstanding even a barrage of gunfire without Qin Hanchu sustaining any injury.
Having cultivated to this realm, Qin Hanchu was now truly invincible in this metropolis.
Even the reclusive old figures were no match for Qin Hanchu.
Each move they made was equivalent to digging their own graves once.
Qin Hanchu, on the other hand, was in his prime, growing stronger with every battle!
Packing the remaining medicine, Qin Hanchu walked out of his seclusion.
“You’ve finally come out of seclusion.”
Blood Wolf had been guarding the surroundings during these days.
Seeing Qin Hanchu emerge, he said with a smile.
Qin Hanchu handed the medicine in his hand to Blood Wolf, saying, “This is for you, and one for Uncle Wang. It can help you break through your bottlenecks and advance your strength further.”
“Alright, we won’t be polite with you,” Blood Wolf said excitedly.
“Why be polite? We are family,” Qin Hanchu replied with a smile.
“It’s a shame I don’t have a daughter, otherwise I’d marry her to you,” Blood Wolf said with a laugh.
Qin Hanchu replied with a hint of exasperation, “I see you as an uncle, but you want to be my father-in-law?”
“Haha… it’s a pity I don’t have that fortune.” Blood Wolf laughed and asked, “What are you going to do now?”
“My enemies have been waiting for a long time. It’s time to go and entertain them!” Qin Hanchu said coldly.
The Jin family old residence in Island City.
Jin Aoyun and Jin Longxing had been residing here for the past few days.
“Ancestor, it’s been almost a week, and Qin Hanchu still hasn’t made a move.”
“Did he escape?” Jin Longxing said angrily.
Jin Aoyun frowned. He also felt something was amiss.
He was only a ninth-rank martial artist. Why would breaking through his realm take so long?
Just then, Jin Aoyun’s gaze fell upon the high wall.
Immediately afterward, Old Ghost appeared. With a casual wave of his hand, a crumpled piece of paper flew towards Jin Aoyun.
“Master has come out of seclusion. The address is on the paper. We await your arrival.” After saying this, Old Ghost turned and leaped off the wall.
