C58 Curtainfall
Following Qin Yuan's announcement, the Qi Family martial practitioners turned their gazes to Qin Yuan's location. Seeing Qi Meng on the ground, shock and fear began to take over their bodies and minds.
"Flee!"
It was unknown who shouted, but the warriors of the Qi family who thought victory was in sight scattered like birds and beasts.
However, how could the warriors of the Qin family let them go?
The curtain opened on a battle of escape and murder.
In less than half an hour, almost all of the warriors from the Qi family had been killed. Only a few lucky ones managed to escape, but they didn't dare to return to the Qi family and ran out of the city.
However, the Qin family's situation wasn't that good either.
Amongst the ten Elders Guild members, other than Qin Wenchuan who had killed Qin Xian, only three of the remaining nine people, including Qin Yi's grandfather, Qin Dengfeng, remained alive. Although the guards of the Purple Eyed Tiger had increased its strength greatly, they had lost forty percent of their members and had suffered ten percent of serious injuries.
A cat activated its remaining magic and evaporated the blood on its body. Then, it dragged its tired body to Qin Yuan's feet and laid down. "I underestimated the warriors of the Qi family."
Qin Yuan took out a bottle of pills from his Universe Ring and poured it into A-Cat's mouth. "Thank you for this matter. Otherwise, the Qin family's losses would have been even greater."
Ah Cat did not hold back and swallowed the pill, licking his lips, as if he was not satisfied yet.
"Yuan'er." He patted Qin Yuan on the shoulder. Although he felt sorrowful at the death of so many members of the Qin family, he was also slightly excited, "The main force of the Qi family has been annihilated. I will make use of this opportunity to bring our guards and warriors to go to the Qi family and wipe it out of Chu Shi City."
"I'll go with you!"
Qin Yuan nodded in agreement. Right now was a good opportunity to uproot the Qi Family, miss the opportunity, and let the crippled members of the Qi Family, especially those talented youths, flee Chu Shi City.
"Alright, you're the one who contributed the most to this victory, so you should be the one to end it." Qin Wang Chuan looked at his once unpopular son with gratitude.
"Guard the first team, third team, and fifth team, follow me to wipe out the Qi family!" As Qin Wangchuan gave the order, the three well-organized guards, riding the Purple-eyed Tiger, shouted loudly and followed Qin Wangchuan and Qin Yuan, heading towards the Qi Clan.
The victorious Qin Yuan felt a sense of pressure. Everything went more smoothly than he had expected, but it caused him to feel slightly uneasy.
Qi Qi Qi's room in the Qi Residence.
"What's wrong with me? "Why did you suddenly fall asleep?"
Qi Qi Qi woke up slowly, clutching her aching head, and looked at the familiar surroundings blankly.
"This is bad!" Qi Qi Qi hurriedly got up, put on her boots and was about to run out of the room. "I remember father saying that he would attack the Qin family. Could it be that while I was sleeping, they have already attacked?"
Pushing the door open, Qi Qi Qi ran while muttering, "Yuan Qing, don't let anything happen to you!"
However, just as Qi Qi Qi ran out of the yard, she heard loud noises coming from the Qi family gate, which seemed to be mixed with a high-pitched scream made in fear.
Before they could get out of the courtyard, Qi Qi Qi saw one of the maidservants lose all her strength and stagger away. The moment she saw Qi Qi Qi, the servant girl trembled and shouted, "Miss, run! The people from the Qin family are coming!
Qi Qi Qi felt as if she was struck by lightning, she froze on the spot, her lips turning white as she repeated the words of the servant girl, "The Qin family is coming." Then she muttered, "Could it be, father and the rest …"
As if confirming her conjecture, a familiar voice came from the direction of the gate, "Qi Meng and the other main forces of the Qin family have been annihilated. Do not resist and surrender!"
"Yuan Qing?" Qi Qi Qi's eyes were moist. Two streams of clear tears ran down her pale face, and she walked step by step towards the direction of the Qi family gate and Qin Yuan's voice as if she had lost her soul.
After turning the corner of the corridor, Qi Qi Qi could smell a faint scent of blood. In front of her, the Qin family's guards were riding Purple-eyed Tigers and harvesting the Qi family members that tried to resist.
"Stop!" Qi Qi exclaimed.
The troubles and quarrels along the way, and the hug before returning flashed through her mind. Despair and pain intertwined in her heart, and she wished with all her heart that none of this had happened.
When Qin Yuan heard this familiar voice, his heart trembled. He stiffly turned his head to look at the girl he had been looking for. She rushed out and spread her arms in front of the Qi family members who had given up resisting and knelt on the ground, trembling.
"Xiao Qi?" Qin Yuan felt the world spin around him. Under this situation, he could already guess that Xiao Qi and the Qi family were inextricably linked, but he still had his fantasies in his heart. "Why are you here?"
Everyone stopped and returned to their respective camps.
Qi Qi Qi held back her tears and felt her world crumbling little by little. "I am Qi Qi, the daughter of the Qi Family's head, Qi Meng! If you want to kill a member of the Qi Family, you have to kill me first! "
It was laughable that Qi Qi had stood up without a care for her safety, but the only people left in the Qi family just knelt there with their heads lowered. No one walked up to Qi Qi, no one spoke a word for her.
"Why?" Qin Yuan did not interrogate her loudly. Instead, he dispersed his aura and walked step by step towards Qi Qi. Finally, he put his hand down, "Why are you the young miss of the Qi Family?"
Qi Qi Qi could no longer hold it in, crying like the rain, causing people to feel pity for her.
Qin Yuan wanted to reach out and hug the girl in front of him, but he couldn't.
He was the young master of the Qin family, and his two brothers had died in the plot of the Qi family. His father had also almost died from poisoning, and he had an irreconcilable hatred with the Qi family.
Qin Wang Chuan looked at the scene in silence. He could already see the relationship between Qin Yuan and Qi Qi Qi, so he could only sigh.
"Destiny is unpredictable …"
Qi Qi finally stopped crying with great difficulty and turned around to look at the few remaining Qi warriors. She said with a tearful voice, "Yuan Qing …" No, Qin Yuan, let them go, I beg you … "These people are no longer a threat to your Qin family. Some of them are even children …"
"Has the Qi family ever let my brother go?" Qin Yuan subconsciously blurted out.
Qi Qi Qi seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly took out a jade pendant and held it in front of Qin Yuan, tears welling up again, "Yuan Qing, do you remember this jade pendant?"
How could Qin Yuan not remember?
Back then in the Western Orange Mountain, in order to increase her strength, Qi Qi Qi did not hesitate to spend half a year's worth of cultivation time to let Qin Yuan absorb her Martial Seal. This jade pendant was the one Qin Yuan had given her at that time.
Currently, the Ice Vein Martial Seal was still flashing a cold light in Qin Yuan's dantian.
"You said that if there's anything I want you to do in the future, take out this jade pendant. No matter what, no matter how difficult, you will definitely do it for me." Qi Qi Qi's eyes were red from crying, her hand holding the jade pendant was shaking slightly, "Now, I hope you can keep your promise and let the Qi family off!"
The light reflected off the jade pendant, making Qin Yuan unable to look straight at it.
Receiving the jade pendant which still had Qi Qi Qi's warmth left on it, Qin Yuan was at a loss for what to do. He looked at the jade pendant in his hand absent-mindedly.
"Qin Clan's guards, listen up! Retreat from the Qi Family! " Qin Wangchuan's authoritative voice came from behind Qin Yuan, "Listen up, people of the Qi family. Leave Chu Shi City today and kill anyone who takes even half a step into Chu Shi City!"
Qin Yuan suddenly turned his head and his father's gentle gaze met with his gaze. He did not say anything in tacit understanding.
Qi Qi Qi walked past Qin Yuan with her eyes closed. She knelt before Qin Wangchuan and kowtowed heavily, "Thank you, Uncle Qin!"
Then, without looking back, Qi Qi walked out of the Qi family residence and disappeared from Qin Yuan's sight.
