Chapter 14: Cisu, Imperial Tactics!

This time, facing the gentle and shy Su Nianshuang, it was the first time Qin Xuan didn’t act roughly. Instead, he was very tender.

Slowly, the room filled with spring-like intimacy, and the feelings between Qin Xuan and Su Nianshuang continued to blossom.

It wasn’t until the sun rose the next day that Qin Xuan walked out of the room, looking refreshed. Only Su Nianshuang, weak and limp, remained inside.

Today was the day Qin Xuan would lead the Qin Family to destroy the Han Family and take over their assets.

He ended the earlier battle early and walked out of the room to head straight to the next fight.

Outside, in the front garden of Qin Manor, Qin Da had already gathered dozens of clan members. They were all the elites of the Qin Family.

These elite Qin clansmen were extremely excited upon seeing Qin Xuan. After all, they were going to destroy a Grandmaster family today!

After arriving at the front garden, Qin Xuan didn’t say much. The group immediately set off for the Imperial City.

Once they reached the Imperial City, Qin Xuan and his men went straight to their target: the Han Family.

Several Grandmasters were still guarding the Han Family. After all, it was a Grandmaster lineage passed down for centuries; their foundations ran deep.

However, when Qin Xuan flew alone into the Han Family grounds wielding his sword and struck out merely a few times, the few remaining Han Family Grandmasters lost their lives on the spot.

After dealing with the Han Grandmasters, Qin Xuan erupted with Sword Intent. It lingered intimidatingly over the Han Family compound like a Sword God guarding the land. This Sword Intent intimidated many hostile forces lurking about, making others afraid to covet the place.

As one of the top families in the Azure Dragon Dynasty, the Han Family’s assets were a big cake many forces wanted a slice of.

But when they felt the terrifying Sword Intent unleashed by Qin Xuan, those forces ultimately chose to watch and back down.

Even Patriarch of the Han Family, a powerful cultivator at the ninth level of the Rotating Sea Realm, had died under Qin Xuan’s sword! Who weaker than the patriarch would dare step forward?

As for the other remaining strong cultivators of the Han Family, with Qin Daorong and Qin Jinglong – both Grandmasters– present, suppressing them was relatively easy enough.

That source of all evil, the demon Pokang, also became a ghost under Qin Daorong’s battle axe.

At this point, seeing that no other force dared to covet the Han lands anymore,

Qin Xuan tossed the rest of the affairs over to Qin Da, Qin Daorong, and Qin Jinglong to handle.

He himself rushed back overnight to Qingfeng City and Qin Manor to continue the business of making love.

This time, Qin Xuan took on two opponents. In just three days, his seeds hit their marks both times. He scored a home run!

…

Within the Azure Dragon Dynasty’s Imperial City palace, a sturdy young man wearing armor stood before the Azure Dragon King.

“Father, the Han Family is destroyed. That Qin Family genius, Qin Xuan, has indeed comprehended the Second-Layer Sword Intent!”

“Han Feihong! Hmph! Relying on his connections with that one from the Joyous Dao Sect, he secretly broke through to the ninth level of the Rotating Sea Realm over the years!”

“No wonder the Han clansmen have been so aggressive in the courts, wildly buying favors and networking. They were planning for Han Feihong to break through to the Palace of Dao Realm, then, with the Joyous Dao Sect backing them, stage a coup and seize the throne!”

Thinking about how the Han Patriarch had hidden his ninth-level Rotating Sea Realm strength made the Azure Dragon King furious.

What treachery! What an ambition!

“Fortunately for us, Han Feihong kicked an iron plate this time and brought terrible disaster down upon himself. Otherwise, he would have been a significant threat!”

The armored, sturdy young man spoke with emotion.

“Shi Hao, this genius who comprehended the Second-Layer Sword Intent… you say he’s from the Qin Family in little Qingfeng City?”

The Azure Dragon King didn’t pursue the topic of the Han Patriarch, changing the subject with clear surprise.

“Exactly! Qin Xuan is indeed from the Qin Family within Qingfeng City. Almost from birth, he has rarely left Qingfeng City!”

Crown Prince Shi Hao nodded in confirmation.

“So a True Dragon has been hidden within such a small Qingfeng City!”

The Azure Dragon King expressed his own shocked admiration after the confirmation.

The Second-Layer Sword Intent! Even for him, a mighty cultivator in the Palace of Dao Realm, that power felt unreachable.

“First thing: Send people near Qingfeng City. Search for signs of rare spiritual treasures! Remember! You must not disturb that Qin Family genius!”

Hearing this, Crown Prince Shi Hao showed an expression of sudden understanding.

For an utterly ordinary small city like Qingfeng City to produce a peerless genius like Qin Xuan must mean there was something extraordinary about the place!

Either traces of a powerful being remained there, or precious spiritual treasures or artifacts were hidden nearby.

Otherwise, how could such a place, previously without even a standard Master-level cultivator, suddenly give rise to a genius like Qin Xuan who defeats a Grandmaster with a single sword strike?

“Second thing: Send an envoy to the Qin Family. Offer them resources. Express our royal household’s goodwill to that Qin genius. If we can win him to the Imperial City, that’s best!”

“Third thing: Send assassins to the Joyous Dao Sect. Tell that person there about the Han Family being destroyed by that Qin genius. Remember this too! Apart from you and me, no third living soul must know about this mission!”

The Azure Dragon King spoke to Crown Prince Shi Hao with grave seriousness.

“Father, this second task and the third… isn’t there a conflict between them?”

Shi Hao was thoroughly confused. Why announce Qin Xuan destroying the Han Family to that person in the Joyous Dao Sect if they intended the Qin Family kindness?

According to the spies nurtured by the royal family, that person from the Joyous Dao Sect had a most intimate relationship with the Han Patriarch.

If that person learned Qin Xuan destroyed the Han Family, it was obvious they would surely strike against Qin Xuan!

“Shi Hao, you are destined to cultivate in the Holy Land in the future. I won’t bother to explain these imperial tactics to you.”

“Just know that everything I do now is for the continuation of the Azure Dragon Dynasty!”
