Chapter Thirty-Three: Dissolution, North Mansion Destroyed

  With a loud shout, two figures landed in the center of the crowd. As people focused their attention, they were shocked to see that it was Qin Yun Tian and Nan Fu's master, Qin Ming.

  Qin Ming smiled and glanced at the young man, nodded, then slightly bowed to the seven elders in front of him, "May I say something, esteemed elders?"

  "As you are the master of Nanfu, it is natural."

  Although some were puzzled by Qin Ming's sudden appearance, Madam Qin nodded and said.

  Qin Xuan couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and at the moment Qin Ming appeared, he also knew that things had finally taken a turn for the better. In fact, if they had really clashed with the Yuan Lao Tuan earlier, he didn't have much confidence in winning, after all, the summoning time was almost up, and his body was gradually feeling weak.

  However, he did not relax his vigilance at all, and was mentally tense, preparing for the worst.

  "Thank you." Qin Ming said, casually glancing at Qin Yi beside him, his eyes flashing with intense killing intent, but it quickly disappeared. "The various elders should know that this matter was triggered by the death of my second son, Qin Fei Yuan."

  Nodded, the seven elders indeed already knew.

  "Fei Yuan's death, as a father, when I first learned of this matter, I almost went mad, especially when I learned that the murderer was Qin Xuan. If it wasn't for my little daughter's strong opposition, I'm afraid I would have been used by someone as a gun by now."

  As he said this, Qin Ming's gaze fell on Qin Yi again. Qin Yi's body shook, his face turned pale in an instant, and became deathly white with no blood color.

  "Are you saying that Qin Xuan is not the murderer?" said an elderly man with a redder face than usual, frowning.

  "That's right!" He nodded, Qin Ming's voice gradually turned cold, his tone became extremely icy, a strong and undisguised killing intent flowed out from his body, "The one who killed my son Fei Yuan was not Qin Xuan, but the mastermind behind everything today, and the one who framed others, Qin Yi!"

  Wow.

  Qin Ming's voice was loud and far-reaching, causing the Qin family members who were keeping watch outside to be in an uproar. The young men from the Northern Manor turned bright red with embarrassment, wishing they could find a hole to crawl into.

  If this sentence were spoken by someone else, they might still reserve their opinions, but it was Qin Ming who said it himself!

  "Nonsense! You're spouting blood from your mouth!" Qin Yi roared, his heart suddenly plummeting to the bottom of the valley. He finally knew why Nan Fu had hesitated to take action earlier - it was because he had suspected something all along.

  But as soon as he spoke, he regretted it. Who was Qin Ming? Not only the master of Nanfu Prefecture, but also the biological father of Qin Fei!

  "Shut up!"

  With a glare, Lady Qin shouted, and an invisible pressure suddenly turned into a huge hand that heavily slapped Qin Yi's face, causing him to spit out blood. Then she looked at Qin Ming and said in a cold voice, "You continue speaking."

  Qin Ming nodded, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes as he gazed at the dispirited Qin Yi. His voice was like a thousand-year-old icy frost, cold and piercing to the bone: "Bloodthirsty? Fei Yuan is my own flesh and blood; could I, as his father, not take charge for him? How ridiculous!"

  Moreover, Qin Yi colluded with the master of Xifu Prefecture, Qin Long, to bribe three senior officials, hoping to escape this matter and kill off the young master of Dongfu Prefecture, Qin Xuan.

  One sentence suddenly caused a stir among the crowd, and even the seven elders were taken aback.

  "Qin Ming, although you are the master of the mansion, do you know what this sentence represents? If you can't produce evidence, I'll have to abolish you today!" Qin Taijun said with a difficult expression, her voice barely concealing her anger.

  Indeed, the Council of Elders represents the highest authority in the Qin family and has always had a good reputation, otherwise it would not have existed for a hundred years. However, Qin Ming's simple sentence completely discredited the Council of Elders, and not only was Lady Qin displeased, but the other elders also looked at Qin Ming with unpleasant expressions.

  "Evidence?" Qin Ming smiled, "Of course there is."

  "Xiao Wei, you can come out now!"

  She slightly raised her voice, and it spread out like a wave. Before long, a slender figure slowly walked in from outside, with two men following behind her. One was burly and looked like a fierce bull from afar, while the other appeared somewhat thin and small, forming a contrasting pair.

  Arriving at the center, Qin Wei's face was calm and collected, without any change due to the presence of several elders. She still had that gentle and elegant appearance, with a hint of pride. The two people behind her, however, looked somewhat constrained.

  Qin Xuan looked over, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily. He naturally recognized Qin Wei, and the sturdy man with a physique like a wild bull he also recognized - it was Qin Ming's eldest son, Qin Hongyuan. As for the thin and weak man beside him, however, he felt some doubt, because this thin and weak man was none other than Qin Kai, who had been following Qin Yi all along!

  "How did this guy end up following Qin Wei?" Qin Xuan furrowed his brow, then looked over at Qin Yi, who was lying on the ground in the distance, and saw that his face was getting paler and paler, as if he had thought of something.

  Upon seeing the newcomer, the unpleasant expressions of the seven elders eased a bit, and even Qin Taijun became much more gentle. "So it's Little Wei, aren't you supposed to be practicing in the Dragon Pavilion today?"

  For Qin Wei, the Council of Elders obviously knew her. After all, this girl dared to move against the head of the Qin family's ancestor, and her talent in Longge was also famous. The Council of Elders, no matter how self-righteous they were, did not dare to move against the people of Longge, especially the ancestors.

  Of course, if the Council of Elders knew that Qin Xuan also belonged to Longge, they probably wouldn't have any other ideas. Unfortunately, apart from the four major masters who were present at the time and a few individual elders, no one else knows about this matter.

  "That old man was worried, so he let me come out and take a look." Qin Wei said unintentionally, then glanced at Qin Xuan, apparently this sentence was meant for him to hear.

  "Alright, no nonsense. You want evidence, right? Qin Kai." Qin Wei didn't waste any words either and nodded towards Qin Kai behind her.

  Qin Kai nodded in agreement, walked up respectfully, and didn't dare to breathe heavily. The scene was giving him immense pressure, whether it was Qin Yi who was relatively weaker, or the two major masters and seven elders. However, when he looked at Qin Yi, his eyes were suddenly replaced with a surge of anger.

  Taking a deep breath of cool air, he said slowly, "I can testify that Fei Yuan Gongzi was indeed killed by Qin Yi. This is what I saw with my own eyes!"

  Then, Qin Kai told the whole story of what had happened, including how Qin Yi had plotted to kill Qin Xuan, how he had killed Qin Fei Yuan with one sword, and how he had set up traps and bribed three elders.

  "My words are finished, and I can now swear that if what I have said is even half false, may I be destroyed body and soul!"

  The elders still had some doubts, but when they heard Qin Kai's last sentence, all their doubts instantly dissipated, and the most vicious oath on the mainland was formed!

  "You should know what to do, shouldn't you?" Qin Wei said coldly. Qin Fei Yang was her own second brother, and although she had been in the Dragon Pavilion for many years, it was impossible for her to have no feelings about this matter.

  "Strip him of his status as the eldest son of the Northern Manor and hand him over to Qin Ming of the Southern Manor. His life or death will be at his discretion."

  Upon hearing this, Qin Wei nodded in satisfaction. Meanwhile, Qin Hongyuan, who had been gloomy since his appearance, suddenly exploded like a long-smoldering firework and shouted, "Qin Yi, you scum, return my second brother's life to me!"

  Hmph.

  One punch was thrown out, Qin Yi's heart was as dead as ashes and had no strength to resist. His entire head burst open like a watermelon, and the mixture of blood and brain matter flowed all over the ground. The air was filled with a bloody smell.

  The master of the Northern Mansion saw this and suddenly felt a suffocating sensation in his chest, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and fell backwards, actually dying on the spot!

  Thus, the Northern Court was destroyed, and Qin Lin, father and son, lost their lives.

  Qin Xuan looked at everything in front of him and couldn't help but sigh silently, feeling a bit like the rabbit dies and the fox grieves. Man proposes, God disposes, Qin Lin and Qin Yi's father-son duo having today's outcome was actually all their own doing.

  After seeing that there was nothing else to do, the seven elders also left one after another. For a while, it seemed like they had aged a lot. As for how to deal with Qin Xuan, wasn't losing face already enough?

  "Ah."

  Until the seven elders all left, Qin Xuan finally let out a breath of relief. Afterwards, he only felt his legs go weak and a wave of powerlessness spread over him. His entire body fell backwards onto Galen's body. Fiona also dispersed into red mist and disappeared.

  The timing is just right!

  He waved his hand, Qin Xuan made an effort to stand up, then he put Galen and Yi back into the 'Heroic Divine Canon'. He was afraid that at close range, Qin Yun Tian and others would discover something. Moreover, he still had one important thing left undone!

  "Father, restore the Qin family and unite the four branches!"

  Without the slightest hesitation in front of Qin Ming and others, Qin Xuan walked to the front of Qin Yun Tian, under the astonished expressions of everyone, he said with a sharp glint in his eyes and a solemn expression.
