Chapter 8: Spirit Dragon General and Bright Dragon War God!

“You little thief! The head of this house is here! Come out and die at once!”

Patriarch of the Han Family stood on the empty air before Qin Manor, speaking in an ice-cold voice.

At the same time, the other nine Han Family elders fanned out around the Qin Family, surrounding them.

The crushing pressure from ten Grandmasters bore down on them, making everyone in the Qin Family tremble in fear.

It felt like mountains were weighing down on their shoulders, as if they were about to face a disaster like a sky about to fall.

Clang!

Right then, a sharp sword cry pierced the air.

A fierce Sword Intent surged upwards, slicing through the pressure from the ten Grandmasters in an instant.

Feeling this Sword Intent, Patriarch of the Han Family narrowed his eyes.

So it was true – that little thief really was here!

Otherwise, how could such pure Sword Intent be found in some little city out in the sticks!

Boom!

The gates swung open. A handsome young man in white robes, carrying a sword on his back, walked out. Close behind him, a middle-aged man in embroidered robes chased after.

“Xiao Xuan? What are you doing? Don’t be rash! Let your Uncle Da talk to them first!”

Seeing Qin Xuan walk out carrying his sword first, Family Head Qin Da was shocked at his actions. He quickly caught up and spoke.

These people before them, every one standing on empty air, were all strong experts.

Qin Da was mainly afraid Qin Xuan might accidentally offend them and bring a sky-falling disaster down on the whole Qin Family.

Therefore, as he caught up, he quickly turned an overly respectful look towards the Patriarch of the Han Family and said:

“Honored sir, how may my Qin Family serve you? We will go through fire and water without a second thought!”

Before, when they were trying to cozy up to the Han Family, Qin Da had only ever dealt with the Han Family steward.

He’d never had access to someone as important as the Patriarch of the Han Family!

So, Qin Da didn’t know the man before him was the Patriarch of the Han Family.

He was just sticking to the idea that one doesn’t strike a smiling face;

Qin Da made himself look as respectful as possible, hoping to gain favor with this expert standing on air.

Qin Xuan, seeing Qin Da’s behavior, frowned slightly.

What for, Uncle Da?

Why not let me just kill them all with one sword!

Although this Family Head Qin could be pretty worldly sometimes,

he had always been really good to Qin Xuan. Qin Xuan actually counted him as one of the few family members he somewhat approved of.

So, seeing Qin Da groveling before the Han Patriarch like this made Qin Xuan feel uncomfortable.

Moreover, even though Qin Da was showing excessive respect, the Han Patriarch didn’t pay him the slightest attention.

“What worthless thing is this? How dare you speak in my presence?”

Boom!

As the words fell, the Han Patriarch struck out with his palm.

Instantly, a palm print formed from compressed air in the void. Even a Heavenly Guardian Realm expert would suffer grievous injury from that terrifying power.

“No! Family Head!”

“Family Head! Run!”

Seeing Patriarch of the Han Family strike without warning, as if Qin Da was nothing but a bug to be squashed underfoot,

the Qin Family members behind Qin Da felt their eyes sting with rage and fear. They dreaded seeing Qin Da smashed into pulp the next second.

Feeling the palm strike rushing down from above, a gleam of sword light began to swirl in Qin Xuan’s eyes, thick killing intent rising.

But just as he was about to act,

a large, wide battleaxe suddenly swung forward in front of him. It chopped the air palm strike into non-existent wisps.

“Hah! Who dares trouble my Qin Family!”

In everyone’s sight, a middle-aged man with a round face and broad build, wearing black armor and holding a huge battleaxe, stood across the entrance of Qin Manor. He looked up at the Han Patriarch.

“Brother Daorong, seems we came back right on time!”

Beside him, another strong man with handsome brows and a tall frame walked forward slowly, smiling as he spoke.

When these two men arrived in front of Qin Manor, the crowd of onlookers, both people from the Imperial City and Qingfeng City locals, all showed shock on their faces.

That was because the aura radiating from these two men gave anyone who felt them the same impression as the Han Family elders!

Meaning, these two were both Grandmasters – experts in the Rotating Sea Realm!

“Where did more Grandmasters come from? This tiny Qingfeng City now has twelve mighty Grandmasters gathered?”

“Really! If not for seeing it myself, who’d believe so many powerful men could gather in a place like this?”

“This trip was worth it! Just seeing so many Grandmasters facing off is exciting!”

The watchers all murmured in amazement.

Inside Qin Manor, several Qin Family members suddenly cried out in recognition. They knew who these Grandmasters were.

“Uncle Jinglong?! Is it you? I’m Xiao Ya!”

“Uncle Daorong, you’ve finally come back!”

Seeing these Qin Family members recognize them, Qin Daorong and Qin Jinglong both smiled and nodded.

The surrounding spectators, seeing this reunion, trembled inwardly in shock.

These two Grandmasters… were actually Qin Family members!

The Qin Family was actually such a terrifying clan? Good thing they hadn’t offended the Qin Family before!

“Qin Daorong! Qin Jinglong! Both were Qin Family members who left twenty years ago to see the wider world! To think they’ve reached such heights today! Truly uplifting!”

Seeing Qin Daorong and Qin Jinglong show up, Qin Da’s heart calmed noticeably. He couldn’t help but smile.

Members leaving to travel was very common for the Qin Family.

Some members would return learned, to honor the Qin Family. Others died in distant lands, their spirits lingering far away.

But for members to return as Rotating Sea Realm Grandmasters… this was the first time in centuries.

Before, those who came back at the Heavenly Guardian Realm level were considered grand heroes returning in glory!

But now, these two were returning as Grandmasters, proudly and mightily. Qin Da grinned so widely it almost made his face crooked.

Two Grandmasters!

He could already see the tremendous future growth of the Qin Family!

Watching Qin Da nearly become the crooked smile Champion, Qin Xuan now understood.

Qin Daorong and Qin Jinglong were clearly the two Family Grandmasters awarded by the system.

They hadn’t just popped into existence – they fit into this world with background details.

Thinking this, Qin Xuan also looked towards Qin Daorong and Qin Jinglong at the manor entrance.

“The looks… the names… how come they seem so much like those two from that other life in history and books?”

Just thinking about the godly battle achievements those two had in books and history before he died and came here made the corner of Qin Xuan’s mouth twitch.

“You two… are Qin Family members too?”

Seeing these two Grandmasters, Qin Daorong and Qin Jinglong appear, even Patriarch of the Han Family couldn’t help feeling surprised.

No wonder that little thief hid with the Qins. This Qin Family really wasn’t simple.

“Correct!”

Qin Daorong planted his battleaxe firmly on the ground, then looked at the Han Patriarch and boomed loud.

“Uncle Daorong is so cool!”

“He’s a legendary Grandmaster! Of course he’s cool!”

The Qin Family members burst into chatter.

Qin Daorong heard this, a trace of a smile on his face, seeming to enjoy their praise.

“If that’s so… then you two can share that little thief’s grave here!”

The Han Patriarch’s tone suddenly shifted, his chilly voice carrying to everyone present.

“Eh? But do you know just who we are? How dare you speak such big words!”

Hearing the Han Patriarch’s words, Qin Daorong’s smile instantly froze. He felt a deep disrespect for his status and bellowed angrily.

“Oh? Who are you? Tell me!”

Patriarch of the Han Family narrowed his eyes.

He wanted to know if someone else had ordered that little thief.

Otherwise, why specifically target his one precious daughter?

“Prepare to tremble when you hear our names!”

“I am the Spirit Dragon General of the Spirit Dragon Dynasty – Qin Daorong!”

“This noble friend is the Bright Dragon War God, personally granted his title by the late king of the Bright Dragon Dynasty – Qin Jinglong!”

“We stand here before you! Retreat now!”

Qin Daorong’s strong, imposing voice faded away. Everyone in the Qin Family and the surrounding crowd burst into stunned chatter.

These two Qin Family Grandmasters actually held such illustrious titles too!

Qin Xuan couldn’t help but slap his forehead beside them.

Oh no!

The titles matched up exactly!
