Looking at the Fang Tian Halberd in his hand, Qiao Yu couldn't help but feel a myriad of emotions.

He hadn't used the Fang Tian Halberd since the Recognize Thief as Father Card had run out.

After all, this thing didn't add strength or agility. Apart from a guaranteed one-hit kill on his adoptive father, it had no effect whatsoever.

Although he no longer had the Recognize Thief as Father Card, Jia Qiumen had agreed to be his adoptive father.

Seeing the weapon that Qiao Yu suddenly pulled out, Jia Qiumen couldn't help but feel a sense of trepidation.

For some reason, his intuition told him that this weapon seemed to pose a deadly threat to him.

"Young friend Qiao Yu, what are you going to do?" Looking at the cold glint of the Fang Tian Halberd, Jia Qiumen couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.

"What am I going to do? Hmph!"

Qiao Yu suddenly turned his head, his face full of righteous indignation.

"A true man stands between heaven and earth, how can he live long under another's thumb! Old thief, prepare to die!"

Qiao Yu charged towards Jia Qiumen with the Fang Tian Halberd.

An intense life-and-death crisis, like an invisible hand, gripped Jia Qiumen's heart, causing him to feel a strong sense of suffocation.

"This is... karma! This weapon actually contains the power of karma!"

Jia Qiumen was shocked. As an old and cunning man, he quickly recognized the terror of the Fang Tian Halberd.

Although he didn't know why the Fang Tian Halberd had the power of karma, karma was something only gods could touch.

Jia Qiumen clearly felt that he had been locked onto by karma. As long as that halberd stabbed him, he would definitely die, no matter what means he used.

In a panic, Jia Qiumen tried to escape in his ancient chariot, but it was too late. Qiao Yu had already arrived in front of him.

"Young friend! Wait! This old man has something to say!"

At the critical moment, the Fang Tian Halberd stopped just short of Jia Qiumen's throat.

Jia Qiumen's cloudy old eyes widened instantly. Having lived for so long, it was the first time he had clearly experienced the feeling of brushing shoulders with death. Cold sweat soaked his back.

"What's wrong, adoptive father? Do you have some last words?" Qiao Yu said with a smile.

Now, as long as he moved the Fang Tian Halberd forward by half an inch, Jia Qiumen, a foundation-level figure in the Huangquan Hirasaka, would directly descend into the Yellow Springs.

This sudden turn of events also frightened everyone in the Huangquan Hirasaka.

What a joke! With Jia Qiumen's strength, he was actually being held at bay by a demigod-level kid?

"Kid! You're courting death!"

"Qiao Yu, you're too presumptuous. Release Elder Jia! Otherwise, don't blame this old man for being impolite!"

Several elders of the Huangquan Hirasaka, filled with anger, were about to attack Qiao Yu, scaring Jia Qiumen into stopping them.

"A bunch of bastards! All of you stop!"

The elders looked at each other, all confused, and couldn't figure out what was going on.

Jia Qiumen's Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and then he revealed a flattering smile.

"Young friend Qiao Yu, this old man suddenly feels... that the bet, it's not necessary to break off relations with the Bai family, not breaking off is also possible..."

"Oh? Is that really so?" Qiao Yu tilted his head and said.

"Of course it's true! This old man was just testing you, young friend, don't take it seriously!"

Jia Qiumen tried to move the Fang Tian Halberd away from his neck.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he moved it a little, Qiao Yu immediately smiled and put it back in place.

This time, Jia Qiumen could even clearly feel the icy touch from the tip of the Fang Tian Halberd, causing his back passage to tighten.

"Don't worry, I'm just testing you too, adoptive father," Qiao Yu said kindly.

"That... young friend Qiao Yu, why don't you just tell me what you want to do?"

The feeling of having his life completely in the hands of others made Jia Qiumen extremely uncomfortable.

"It's very simple, publicize the bet between me and the Huangquan Hirasaka throughout the entire Ninth Universe, and today's matter will be settled."

After going through such a long detour, Qiao Yu finally revealed his true purpose.

He first recognized Jia Qiumen as his adoptive father, and then took out the Fang Tian Halberd. His fundamental goal was not to kill Jia Qiumen, but to subdue the entire Huangquan Hirasaka.

Killing Jia Qiumen would be satisfying, but it would also inevitably make him an enemy of the Huangquan Hirasaka, which would be penny-wise and pound-foolish.

As long as this bet was made public and known to everyone in the Ninth Universe, when his strength reached the required level, he wouldn't have to worry about the Huangquan Hirasaka going back on its word.

Jia Qiumen's face darkened when he heard this. He wanted to refuse, but his neck was being held by a Fang Tian Halberd.

"Alright, we'll do as young friend Qiao Yu says..."

After holding it in for a long time, Jia Qiumen finally squeezed out these words from between his teeth.

Because his voice was too soft, Jia Jinnian didn't hear what Jia Qiumen said. He quickly came up and asked.

"Seventh maternal great-uncle, what did you just say?"

"I told you to do as he says, you turtle grandson!" Jia Qiumen couldn't help but blurt out a curse.

"Yes... Seventh maternal great-uncle..."

Jia Jinnian was scolded thoroughly and retreated sheepishly.

Afterwards, the news of the bet between Qiao Yu and the Huangquan Hirasaka spread like a plague, centered around the Huangquan Hirasaka.

Everyone who heard about this bet clicked their tongues in amazement.

"My god! To have combat power comparable to the peak of the Pseudo-God realm within three years? How is that possible! Even a reincarnation of a god wouldn't dare to say that they could go from the Demigod realm to the peak of the Pseudo-God realm in three years, right?"

"Leaving aside the question of whether it's possible or not, there's another more important question now! Bai Shiyan and Qian Xian'er have rekindled their old relationship, and the Medical Immortal Valley can be considered tied to the Bai family's chariot. If Qiao Yu becomes the Lord of Huangquan Hirasaka again... a full three top forces, what does the Bai family want to do? Unify the Ninth Universe?"

"Shhh! Shut up, are these things that you and I can discuss? Disaster comes from the mouth, if you want to die, don't drag me down with you!"

The deep pool of the Ninth Universe seemed to have had a large stone thrown into it, and undercurrents began to surge.

"Young friend Qiao Yu, I've already sent people to do as you said, can you put down the Fang Tian Halberd now?" Jia Qiumen couldn't help but ask.

"Of course, my good adoptive father!"

Qiao Yu smiled and retracted the Fang Tian Halberd, and Jia Qiumen breathed a sigh of relief.

"In that case, adoptive father, I'll be leaving first. Three years, we'll see you again in three years."

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Qiao Yu didn't want to stay in the Huangquan Hirasaka any longer.

After all, he only had three years. Reaching the peak of the Pseudo-God realm within three years was definitely not an easy task for Qiao Yu.

The corners of Jia Qiumen's mouth twitched slightly, but he didn't dare to retort.

He was really afraid that Qiao Yu would suddenly rush back with the Fang Tian Halberd and stab him again.

Qiao Yu pulled Bai Xinweng, who was completely confused, and flew out of the Huangquan Star.

Bai Xinweng couldn't figure out what was going on. How could Jia Qiumen be threatened by Qiao Yu?

"Child, tell grandpa, what's going on? Why does Jia Qiumen seem so afraid of you?"

The corners of Qiao Yu's mouth curled up into a smile, and he said mysteriously.

"What else could it be? Because he's my dearest and most beloved adoptive father!"
