Translator: Silavin At this thought, many onlookers found it somewhat amusing – after all, those were three Martial Kings! They were not your regular Tom, Dick or Jerry. How could a young man like him possibly have eliminated them? As for this youth before them? He appeared no more than nineteen years old. The gap between a nineteen-year-old youth and three Martial Kings was like that between Heaven and Earth! Whoosh! At this moment, Zhao Wengting and Zhao Yarou’s expressions changed. While Xiang Renhan ignored others’ whispers, he seemed to notice the change in Zhao Wengting’s expression. His gaze fixed firmly on Qin Yichen, waiting for his answer. Qin Yichen frowned, weighing his options internally. Though he was not afraid of the Xiang Family, being hunted down by them would certainly bring endless trouble to him. Finally, Qin Yichen took a deep breath and replied calmly: “What do you mean by this, Patriarch Xiang? You think I killed three Martial Kings?” Everyone’s gaze turned toward Xiang Renhan, puzzled. Xiang Renhan made a gesture to the man beside him, who nodded and stepped forward. “Boy, stop pretending! I know it was you! That silhouette was definitely yours!” He stepped forward and shouted, pointing at Qin Yichen. “What?! Was it really this young man?” “That can’t be!” “Are You doubting the eyes of a Martial King!?” After a brief commotion, the crowd fell into dead silence. Everyone’s expressions became somewhat muddy. After all, could what Xiang Renhan said be true? Could a mere nineteen-year-old youth have killed their three Martial Kings? But how could a nineteen-year-old youth possibly match three Martial Kings? Even if he had started cultivating from the womb, it should have been impossible! Moreover, those three Martial Kings were said to have died during a secret operation conducted by the Xiang Family, which surely involved more than just the three of them. Did this mean that a nineteen-year-old youth had killed three Martial Kings while facing multiple Martial Kings? If this were true, would this not make this youth absolutely terrifying? Zhao Wengting and Zhao Yarou exchanged glances, both frowning. Whoosh! Whoosh! At this time, many Elders from the Zhao Family emerged from within, bringing numerous guards with them. Their show of force no less impressive than the Xiang Family. Seeing the Zhao Family experts emerge, Xiang Renhan’s brow furrowed slightly, but his gaze remained fixed on Qin Yichen. In his view, Zhao Yarou would certainly die today, but right now, he most wanted to deal with the person who had rescued her. “Sir, you don’t look that old, so how did you become blind?” Qin Yichen sneered, casually remarking. Hearing his mocking words, the Xiang Family members’ expressions all darkened. “You must have evidence for these claims, right? What silhouette? There are plenty of people with silhouettes similar to mine. I’m not exactly peculiar in my figure, you know?” Qin Yichen shrugged, completely unconcerned by the Xiang Family members’ gazes. “That person who rescued Zhao Yarou – did their Yuan Energy have an Attribute, and if so, what was it?” Xiang Renhan asked in a deep voice. Indeed, making assumptions based on a mere silhouette was too hasty. Most importantly, he also did not want to believe that such a young man was capable of rescuing Zhao Yarou from his carefully laid trap. “Lightning Attribute!” That man stared fixedly at Qin Yichen. Though it had been at night, the lightning flashes had been quite conspicuous. Xiang Renhan gave him a cold look, then commanded Qin Yichen in a low voice. “Little Brother, release your Yuan Energy!” “Father!” Hearing this, Zhao Yarou’s beautiful face changed suddenly as she called out to Zhao Wengting in a low voice. At this moment, Zhao Wengting’s expression also changed, but looking at the people behind Xiang Renhan, especially the yet-unseen person in that carriage whom even Xiang Renhan had to stand outside for, he could not help but hesitate. [Could that be that Outer Deacon from the North Mystic Sect?] (Silavin: Like an Outer Disciple, but just of a higher rank) If the Outer Deacon had come because of those three Martial Kings’ deaths, obstructing them would absolutely bring huge trouble to the Zhao Family. Seeing that the Patriarch had not spoken, several Zhao Family Elders also did not move. In truth, they too were quite curious whether it had really been Qin Yichen who had rescued Zhao Yarou. Whoosh! At this point, three Xiang Family men had already moved to surround Qin Yichen. “Patriarch Xiang, though Lightning Attribute Martial Artists are rare, there are still many in this world. Are you suggesting that all Lightning Attribute Martial Artists are culprits who killed your Xiang Family experts?” Faced with three Martial Kings surrounding him, Qin Yichen showed no signs of panic. He calmly looked at Xiang Renhan and spoke. He did not blame Zhao Wengting’s attitude towards him – thinking from the Zhao Family’s perspective, their inaction was quite normal. After all, what they most wanted now was to quietly wait for people from the Ten Corner Alchemy Manor to arrive. Once Zhao Yarou entered the Ten Corner Alchemy Manor, their concerns would lessen considerably. As for the attitudes of the Elders led by the Sixth Elder, to be honest, though there were misgivings, Qin Yichen knew such matters were ultimately unimportant. “Could he really be the one who killed three Martial Kings?” Seeing Qin Yichen being so defensive, many became suspicious. Meanwhile, they also felt a great shock in their hearts. Xiang Renhan did not answer Qin Yichen’s counter-question, only coldly watching him. The three men beside Qin Yichen gripped their weapons, their Yuan Energy surging as they stood ready to launch a fierce attack at any moment. “Xiang Renhan, this Little Brother is our Zhao Family’s guest!” At this point, Zhao Wengting, who had been silent until now, finally could not help but speak up. “I don’t care who he is. If there’s a suspect, my Xiang Family absolutely won’t let them off!” Xiang Renhan merely laughed coldly at Zhao Wengting’s words and sternly roared. Under Xiang Renhan’s loud shout, the watching crowd could not help but tremble. These words indirectly told them the consequences of provoking the Xiang Family. The Xiang Family had someone accepted as a Disciple by the North Depths Sect Deacon! As expected, if no one else from the Zhao Family could enter the Three Sects and One House, this Positively Tranquil City would definitely soon be dominated by the Xiang Family alone! Hearing Xiang Renhan’s words, Zhao Wengting’s face became extremely gloomy. Behind him, many Zhao Family experts also stepped forward, confronting the Xiang Family members. The atmosphere in the scene became tense for a moment. “If you just want to see my Yuan Energy, why bother with so much noise?” But just as conflict between the Xiang Family and Zhao Family was about to erupt, Qin Yichen’s laughter suddenly rang out. Everyone’s gazes turned toward him, only to see Qin Yichen slowly extending one hand.
