Live-in Son-in-law

Chapter 1312 1312: Develop in Secret

The faces of the Sword Sect members went pale with fright, their hearts thumping wildly.

Firstly, they feared Qin Yi. Secondly, because the deceased was Chen Zhengrong, the grandson of Chen Miao, the Sword Sect's Seventh Elder, they would surely be punished upon return.

However, one could say they were overthinking. Whether they could return depended entirely on Qin Yi's mood.

Yu Zhaohe raised his head to look at Qin Yi and roared: "You actually dared to kill Young Master Chen; you've stirred up trouble. The Sword Sect won't spare you. No matter who you are, you'll pay the price."

Qin Yi sneered, "The Sword Sect won't spare me? You should ask whether I'll spare the Sword Sect. More importantly, what you should be considering now is whether you can leave here alive."

Yu Zhaohe's expression changed drastically.

Qin Yi flicked his finger lightly, and a sharp light shot forth.

It was another small melon seed.

Yu Zhaohe let out an angry roar, with overwhelming force sweeping around him. He raised his hand and sent out a palm, releasing a terrifying palm wind.

"Puff!"

The melon seed pierced through Yu Zhaohe's palm wind, then penetrated his palm, and finally went through his shoulder.

"Ah!"

Yu Zhaohe screamed in pain, his old face twisted.

The Sword Sect members were scared witless—a powerful figure of the early Dachen stage couldn't even block a small melon seed.

Yu Zhaohe looked at Qin Yi in horror, "Who on earth are you?"

"What? Thinking of becoming a vengeful spirit to haunt me?" Qin Yi sneered with disdain, flicked his finger lightly, and another melon seed shot out.

Yu Zhaohe was so frightened, he frantically concentrated his Cultivation to the extreme, gathering his Protective Gang Qi to shield himself.

"Puff! Puff!"

The Protective Gang Qi around Yu Zhaohe was like a sheet of glass, directly pierced by the melon seed. Immediately, a small blood hole appeared in his forehead, and a string of blood beads spurted from the back of his head.

Yu Zhaohe's body stiffened, his gaze froze instantly, and the aura around him disappeared without a trace. His corpse heavily fell to the ground.

Everyone present was petrified with fear; this was a formidable figure of the early Dachen stage, who could walk side to side, yet was shot dead by a melon seed, dying without dignity. Each one was trembling in fear, terrified that Qin Yi might flick out another melon seed, and their lives would be over.

Li Ran was also stunned, wide-eyed, gasping in disbelief. This person who suddenly appeared was too frightening. However, he wasn't worried; the other side was clearly a friend not a foe.

Qin Yi frowned at Jing Wuyan, "What's wrong, are you waiting for me to help you deal with the rest?"

Jing Wuyan came to his senses and gratefully smiled at Qin Yi, then shouted, "Kill, don't let a single one escape."

Jing Wuyan wasn't foolish; if a Sword Sect member escaped, it would be a big problem. The best way was to leave none behind, slay them all and end it once and for all.

Li Ran also came to his senses, knew they couldn't let these people live.

"Kill."

In an instant, the shouts of killing shook the skies.

Without Yu Zhaohe, no one was Li Ran's opponent, the battle was one-sided.

After ten minutes, the ground was littered with corpses, flowing with rivers of blood, not a single Sword Sect member escaped.

Li Ran ordered his men to dispose of the bodies quickly and issued a gag order. This was the City Lord's Mansion, all were Li Ran's confidants, moreover, no one was foolish enough to reveal this incident. For once the Sword Sect knew, they'd be buried in revenge.

Qin Yi descended from mid-air.

Li Ran hastily stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said, "Thank you, Senior, for your lifesaving intervention, your kindness will never be forgotten."

The knowledgeable become teachers, the strong are respected, Qin Yi's Cultivation was extraordinary, although Li Ran was older, calling Qin Yi 'Senior' was no loss.

But Qin Yi waved his hand, "Do I look that old? Just call me Qin Yi."

"You are Qin Yi?" Li Ran exclaimed, his eyes widened, his face full of shock.

"Why? Is there another Qin Yi in this mansion?"

Li Ran hurriedly shook his head, primarily frightened by the name. Qin Yi, this name had recently spread throughout the Southern Middle State, a ruthless man who had overturned the Sword Sect's Branch.

Jing Wuyan stepped forward: "Brother Qin, why are you here?"

"If I didn't come, could you still stand here and talk to me now?"

Jing Wuyan was filled with shame, "Brother Qin has saved me again, I could never repay your great kindness in this life."

"No worries, just add money."

Jing Wuyan: "..."

Li Ran cautiously asked, "So Young Master Jing and Young Master Qin are acquainted?"

Jing Wuyan nodded, "I haven't known Brother Qin for long, but Brother Qin has saved my life many times."

Qin Yi looked at Jing Wuyan, "Why are you running around in the middle of the night instead of sleeping? Go rest, we still have to travel tomorrow."

Jing Wuyan looked at Li Ran, apologetically saying, "City Lord Li, I'm truly sorry. I didn't expect a sudden visit would cause you such a huge problem."

"It's not your fault. The Sword Sect has wanted to deal with me not for a day or two. This day would come eventually."

Jing Wuyan hesitated for a moment, "City Lord Li, the Sword Sect failed this time, there will surely be a next time, and another after that. Why don't you come with us? This Southern Middle State isn't suitable for someone like you, a man of righteousness. Once I rescue someone, come with me to the Northern Central State."

"Are you stupid?" Qin Yi turned back and looked at Jing Wuyan, speechless.

Jing Wuyan was full of bewilderment.

"You think everyone is as free as you are? He has to support a family, and has so many people dependent on him. Plus, do you have any idea how much it costs for each person to cross Sin City? Even selling this Haoyue City might not be enough for them to migrate.

Moreover, if discovered by the Sword Sect, they might be killed before reaching Northern Central State. I'd say, stay put, develop silently, grow quietly. Wait until one day Little Yan has the strength to confront the Sword Sect, then rally to assist and wipe out the Sword Sect in one fell swoop."

Jing Wuyan was embarrassed indeed, he hadn't thought thoroughly.

Li Ran nodded slightly, "Young Master Qin is right, I can secretly contact those oppressed by the Sword Sect, and then wait for the opportune moment to rally to assist you."

"But the Sword Sect has their eye on you, you'll be in danger at any moment."

Li Ran chuckled, "No matter. The Sword Sect crafts themselves as the epitome of justice, standing on the moral high ground. This however, is precisely their weakness. Without a reasonable cause, they dare not easily act against me, otherwise their carefully built image might collapse."

"But the Sword Sect is insidious, conspiracy and framing are possible. As they say, when someone wishes to find guilt, lacking reason is no problem, they won't reason with you."

Li Ran laughed lightly, "Young Master Jing, don't worry, I will be careful in dealing with it."

Jing Wuyan wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Qin Yi, who looked at him disdainfully and said: "Little Yan, do you think Li Ran as the City Lord is just for show? He became City Lord, he must have some skills? If he can't even protect himself, how can he talk about vengeance?"

Li Ran nodded gently.

Jing Wuyan still appeared worried.

Qin Yi shook his head helplessly, "City Lord Li, please step aside to talk."
