Chapter 507 The Secret Beneath the Soul Cleansing Ancient House
[Nether Asura Body successfully devoured king rank *12, 0.64% away from completion]
Qiao Yu clapped his hands, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
At this time, there was no one left standing in the Soul Cleansing Ancient Mansion except for Qiao Yu. The ground was covered in corpses.
His guess was indeed correct. The three beast-like king ranks in the Soul Cleansing Ancient Mansion were worth two after being devoured by the Nether Asura Body.
"You wait for me up there, I'll go down and take a look."
Qiao Yu placed An Liya aside and instructed her.
He had the power of the Six Paths and could sneak in. Bringing An Liya would only expose them.
"Okay! Be careful!" An Liya agreed without hesitation.
Qiao Yu held the Staff of Darkness in his mouth, activated the power of the Six Paths, and turned the idol of the Soul Cleansing Ancient Mansion, opening the secret passage once again.
But when Qiao Yu entered the underground space of the Soul Cleansing Ancient Mansion, the scene before him made his pupils shrink into needles.
Underneath the Soul Cleansing Ancient Mansion, Qin Xuan was standing in front of an altar made of white bones.
Qiao Yu clearly remembered that he had destroyed this altar before he left last time. He didn't know why this altar had reappeared at this time.
And on both sides of the altar stood many stone pillars, each with a person tied to it.
Tied to the stone pillar at the very front was none other than Qin Cangtian, the head of the Qin family!
Qiao Yu still remembered the imposing manner of this old man when he came out of Ghost Mountain before.
But at this time, Qin Cangtian was like a pitiful drowned dog, tied to the stone pillar, barely breathing, with many wounds on his body.
Qiao Yu looked at the other stone pillars. Qin Fengluo, Qin Ke, Qin Xiner, Qin Qianxue, Little Sword God Qin Hao...
He concentrated and found that all the people tied up were members of the Qin family, one of the four major families in Kyoto!
Qiao Yu was shocked. What was Qin Xuan trying to do? A family fun with his own clan?
"Qin Xuan, are you crazy? You're actually helping outsiders deal with your own family. How could the family raise a snake in the grass like you?"
Qin Hao roared loudly, his eyes full of fierce light.
In the past, Qin Xuan didn't even dare to breathe loudly in front of him, the number one genius of the Qin family, but recently, he didn't know why, this guy suddenly seemed to have changed.
Not only did his personality change drastically, but his strength also soared, rising like a rocket.
"Xuan'er, before you make a big mistake, it's not too late to turn back now and admit your mistake! Wake up! Otherwise, when Uncle Tianhao finds out, you're really dead."
Qin Qianxue, as Qin Xuan's aunt, couldn't help but tearfully persuade him.
The Qin Tianhao she was talking about was the president of Huaqing University, a true saint-level powerhouse, who had joined forces with Ji Pingyang and Shen Jianshu to fight against the Seven Divine Guards.
And except for Qin Tianhao and Qin Tianhao's daughter Qin Qianyi, almost all the remaining members of the Qin family were here.
The other members of the Qin family also spoke out, some trying to persuade Qin Xuan, and some angrily denouncing Qin Xuan's recklessness.
But Qin Xuan was unmoved, like a stone sculpture, standing motionless in front of the white bone altar, as if waiting for something.
Facing the Qin family's scolding, Qin Xuan turned a deaf ear.
After an unknown amount of time, Qin Xuan slowly opened his eyes. His eyes contained a maturity and vicissitudes that were completely inconsistent with his age, and his eyes were as deep and bright as the stars in the sky.
"It's almost time."
Qin Xuan muttered to himself, then finally turned around and looked at the Qin family.
A smile appeared on Qin Xuan's face, and he looked at the Qin family as if he were looking at a group of pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
"Don't worry, your deaths won't be in vain. Your Qin family members will be the best nourishment for me to advance to the saint rank!"
A fanatical look appeared on Qin Xuan's face, and the aura on his body suddenly bloomed. He was a level 60 peak emperor rank!
With only one level left, Qin Xuan could officially cross the threshold of the saint rank and become a saint-level powerhouse!
"Holy crap!"
Qiao Yu, who was watching the show with the power of the Six Paths, couldn't help but exclaim. What high-tech and cruel stuff did this Qin Xuan eat? His leveling up is even faster than mine?
You have to know that I was able to level up to level 50 so quickly entirely because of the Chang Gui in the Godfall Pit and killing Mu Chaoge and the others. Otherwise, I would have just advanced to the king rank at most.
Why is this kid Qin Xuan leveling up so much faster than me? Wasn't this guy killed by Lin Lang and turned into a vegetable?
Qin Xuan's words also aroused greater dissatisfaction from the Qin family.
"Qin Xuan! What do you mean by your Qin family members?" Qin Hao glared at his cousin Qin Xuan. "Don't you even acknowledge your own bloodline?"
"That's right, Qin Xuan, how can you do this? When you were a vegetable, weren't the Qin family members taking care of you meticulously? Now that you've recovered, you want to repay kindness with hatred?"
"Snake in the grass! Our Qin family has produced a snake in the grass! You ungrateful villain who disregards family affection!"
The Qin family members scolded Qin Xuan, but facing this scene, Qin Xuan just smiled lightly.
"Say a few words less, save some strength, otherwise, you may not have the strength to scream later."
Qin Xuan stood up and walked towards the altar. He gently pressed on the white bone altar, and the altar instantly began to vibrate.
Many runes that Qiao Yu couldn't understand lit up around him. After those runes lit up, the area around the altar suddenly turned black!
It was as if a black hole had appeared out of thin air and devoured all the surrounding light.
Shadows seemed to flicker in the darkness, and they were hovering around the white bone altar.
"Soul Cleansing Ancient Mansion, for all eternity, dearest sacrifice, dedicated to the evil spirit, prolong my life, strengthen my body!"
Qin Xuan shouted loudly, facing the altar, his voice unspeakably strange.
As the voice fell, the shadows around the altar became more and more numerous, vaguely showing a tendency to blot out the sky and the sun.
Then Qin Xuan cut his palm, and the blood belonging to the Qin family in his body was sprinkled towards the sky.
After those shadows absorbed Qin Xuan's blood, they instantly became restless, vaguely showing a tendency to break away from the altar and pounce on the Qin family members around them.
Seeing this, many members of the Qin family didn't bother to insult Qin Xuan anymore, and a look of fear instantly appeared on their faces.
Seeing this, Qin Xuan laughed even more excitedly, his laughter filled with madness and triumph.
"Become sacrifices under the evil spirit!"
"By the way, before you die, I might as well tell you that the person living in this body is no longer the so-called Qin Xuan in your mouths!"
Qin Xuan looked at the Qin family members, a look of pity in his eyes.
"This body has long belonged to me, Tang Wumou!"
Tang Wumou???
When the Qin family members heard this name, they were stunned for a moment, then their pupils shrank suddenly, and their faces were full of shock.
Tang Wumou, the head of the Tang family, one of the four major families in Kyoto!
But wasn't the Tang family惨遭灭门 (canzhaomiemen - tragically destroyed) overnight? How could Tang Wumou suddenly appear in Qin Xuan's body?
"Hehe, Tang Wumou, you're really afraid of death. It seems that the destruction of the Tang family was also your doing, cough cough cough!"
"In order to survive, you actually killed all your descendants. Tang Wumou, you act so evilly, aren't you afraid of being punished by God?"
Qin Cangtian, the head of the Qin family, didn't know when he had slowly woken up. His face was pale, but when he opened his mouth, he still gave people a sense of majesty.
The corners of Qin Xuan's mouth curled up in a smile.
"So what if it is, so what if it isn't? Since ancient times, the winner is the king, the loser is the villain. Han Xin endured the humiliation of crawling between legs, and King Goujian of Yue tasted gall while sleeping on firewood. Aren't they all doing it to survive? Only by living can there be unlimited possibilities. Once you die, there's nothing left."
"The definition of justice and evil will change with time. Past history has already proven this point. No matter how evil the means may be, as long as you achieve the final victory, that is justice."
"Once justice fails, it will also be defined as evil. Qin Cangtian, your age is about the same as mine, but your格局 (geju - overall perspective/situation awareness) is obviously too small."
Qin Xuan looked at Qin Cangtian with pity in his eyes.
"As you can see, the so-called evil in your mouth is about to slaughter all of you so-called righteous people!"
"Go, evil spirits! Go and devour the bloodline that has the same origin as me!"
Qin Xuan opened his chest with a fanatical expression, and the surrounding shadows instantly pounced on the Qin family members.
They felt the same taste as the blood they had just eaten on the bodies of the Qin family members.
Just when Qin Xuan opened his arms and prepared to step into the saint rank, a sudden change occurred!
A very familiar voice rang in his ear.
"Oh yo? Isn't this my good义父 (yifu - adopted father)? Long time no see. You're actually getting younger and younger. Looks like you've been eating a lot of Nao Bai Jin (a popular health product for elderly people in China)!"
