Invincible cultivation strengthens: my son is a troublemaker

"Really?!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Zi's eyes instantly lit up. This ancient Dao bone with such a grand origin seemed destined to be his!

To him,

all good things were destined for him.

At this moment, the blonde woman spoke worriedly, "However, the old site of my Night Emperor Family is now sealed by the Human Race Holy Hall, and there are even powerful figures guarding it. For us to enter, it won't be easy."

Qin Chuan remained unfazed.

He watched her calmly, his tone steady and confident, and asked, "Do we need any other conditions?"

"Yes, to enter the inheritance site, we still need the secret runes of my Night Emperor Family. I know those, so don't worry."

The blonde woman said.

"Then there's no problem."

Qin Chuan nodded and then said, "Let's first return this Dao bone to that girl, and then we'll head to the old site of the Night Emperor Family."

The blonde woman flew back into Qin Zi's body, and Qin Chuan took Qin Zi, flying towards the small town where Yu Wanqing was located.

He returned the Dao bone to Yu Wanqing not out of sympathy or kindness, but mainly to give an explanation to the Sun-devouring Emperor!

This incident had caused quite a stir.

Though he had already given a "forewarning" before, he needed to make sure the Sun-devouring Emperor didn't misunderstand, so they had to meet.

Given the Sun-devouring Emperor's magnanimity and perspective, as long as they went, he wouldn't overthink things.

But if they didn't go, then it would be uncertain.

Based on his guess, the Sun-devouring Emperor's cultivation had probably reached the legendary "extreme realm" by ninety-nine percent.

Such power was something he couldn't contend with at present, and if the other had any killing intent towards him, he would be in great danger.

For such an existence, if they believed that he and his son were spies from the Celestial Eternal Race, they wouldn't kill Qin Zi first, but would certainly come for him, the father, as he would be the mastermind in their eyes!

Qin Chuan's speed was very fast.

In less than three minutes,

he arrived at the previous small town.

He had Qin Zi find Yu Wanqing to return the Dao bone, while he went to Song Huaihe.

By the riverbank, a Free Love Sect disciple, disheveled with a strand of golden hair on his forehead, was already sitting on the stone bridge steps waiting for him.

"You're here?"

The Free Love youth said.

"I'm here."

Qin Chuan smiled and nodded, then sat down beside him.

"This matter has gotten a bit out of hand."

The Free Love youth looked at the boats on the river and said.

"I told you before, jade needs to be polished to become a valuable piece, and you supported it at the time too."

Qin Chuan said apologetically.

"Then you took this piece of jade to polish at my house? And also smashed my gate and took away my kitchen knife?"

The Free Love youth rolled his eyes.

"I can return the kitchen knife to you."

Qin Chuan took out the Sun-devouring Emperor Sword and handed it to the Free Love youth.

However, the Free Love youth didn't even glance at it.

Instead, he stood up, turned his back to Qin Chuan, and said angrily, "Do you know what's most aggravating?!"

He answered his own question:

"That kid revealed the true nature of my Sun-devouring Imperial Palace to the world with one word!"

"Free Love Sect? Isn't it just the Free Love Sect!"

"Back then, I actually wanted to name the sect Free Love Sect, but Brother Qin Long advised that since I was founding a sect, I should choose a more formal name to avoid being mocked by future martial artists. Hence, it was named Sun-devouring Imperial Palace."

"And now! The name I wanted but didn't dare to take has been returned as a nickname by this kid, turning directly into a joke."

"Tell me, how should we settle this score?"

Qin Chuan twitched his face a few times, feeling a bit helpless.

He thought for a moment, then said:

"This kid returned your disciple's Dao bone on his own initiative. Shouldn't you acknowledge his gesture?"

The Free Love youth sneered, "Ha, I think he did it out of infatuation. Can he fool me with such a thing? It's just amateur hour!"

Qin Chuan pondered for a while and said:

"I think you're sitting here probably not to wait for me, but because you failed in freeloading and got kicked off a boat by some ship owner. How about this... I'll sponsor you once, let you experience being a lavish spender?"

"Heh, heh..."

The Free Love youth smirked disapprovingly, but that smile froze at the sight of the gold ingot in front of him.

"Deal!"

Without any further ado, he grabbed the gold ingot and quickly ran to the riverbank, waving his right hand at the painting boat on the river, shouting: "Boatman, I want to board, I want to board!"

Very quickly, a boatman noticed the Free Love youth—or more accurately, the large gold ingot in his hand.

"Guest, come on board!"

It was an old man, holding a long bamboo rod, diligently prodding the boat forward. Through the bamboo curtains of the cabin, one could see a graceful young woman grooming herself.

Watching this scene, Qin Chuan couldn't help but sigh in his heart—this small town really has pure folk customs.

Soon, the painting boat docked, and the Free Love youth was courteously invited aboard.

Before entering the cabin, he looked back at Qin Chuan, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Indeed, we're of the same trade. Until next time."

After speaking, he went inside.

Then, the sound of rustling clothes being removed came from the cabin; the guest was eager, and the host was playing hard to get...

"Farewell."

A relaxed smile appeared on Qin Chuan's face as the other party's words "kindred spirits" amounted to an endorsement of his actions.

In other words.

Even if Qin Xiaozhu really becomes infamous and is considered a traitor of the Celestial Eternal Race by the Human Race Holy Hall, the Sun-Devouring Emperor would still back him up.

It's akin to having another way out.

...

The old site of the Night Emperor Family.

This is a sprawling mountain range, undulating like a giant dragon, with ruins scattered all over its peaks.

In its heyday, the Night Emperor Family was magnificent, with the Night Emperor being one of the top ten Hall Masters of the Human Race Holy Hall.

And now, only wild weeds remain!

An expanse of mountains, thousands of miles in radius, was covered by a vast golden barrier, resembling an overturned giant glass bowl.

"Halt!"

Qin Chuan brought Qin Zigang to the outside of the barrier and heard a majestic voice as a vague figure manifested in the sky above. Sitting in the white clouds, the figure appeared grand and imposing.

It was actually a... quasi-emperor!

"Sleep."

Qin Chuan lifted his head and gave a slight smile at the person, letting a vast spiritual power invade the other's mind, causing him to faint.

Then Qin Chuan raised his right hand, placing it on the barrier. Instantly, countless runes bloomed from his palm, dispersing across the surface of the barrier, causing it to silently dissipate.

In his palm, a phantom red lotus gradually faded away—that was the Forbidden Red Lotus, the supreme treasure of the Celestial Pivot Palace.

Capable of breaking most arrays!

"Who goes there!"

"How dare you trespass into the forbidden land..."

At this point, two more stern voices sounded, but Qin Chuan swept them away with his spiritual sense, leaving two more guardians falling over.

In total, there were only four quasi-emperor guardians here.

After all, this old site of the Night Emperor Family had long been emptied by numerous major forces, leaving only ruins, and there wasn't much worth guarding.

Having people guard it was merely procedural.

"Buzz!"

A blonde woman flew out from Qin Zi's body, looking at the ruins with deep sorrow in her eyes.

Back then, this place was so prosperous; now it's full of devastation, her once dear kin long turned to dust.

Only she was left.

Seeing this, Qin Chuan and Qin Zi remained silent, for some wounds no one is qualified to console.

Because, you can never truly understand the pain in her heart.

But the blonde woman did not dwell too long in grief; after a brief sorrow, she wiped away her tears.

"Follow me."

She said sternly, then led Qin Chuan and his son deeper into the ruins.

Soon, they arrived beside a broken stele.

This stele was already half-destroyed, made of simple material. At first glance, it seemed ordinary, but upon closer look... it was even more unimpressive!

"Night family descendant Ye Lingshuang, bringing disciples to the place of inheritance today. Please forgive us, ancestors of the Night family,"

the blonde woman softly said.

Then she quickly formed seals with her hands, weaving an extremely profound rune pattern and pressed it against the broken stele.

"Buzz!"

The stele trembled violently and then emitted a golden light; the originally damaged part rapidly grew back.

However, the new growth was golden, as if the white jade had been repaired with gold after breaking.

In fact, the golden stele was complete, only its lower part overlapping with the half stele.

And the blonde woman formed seals again, closing her eyes tightly, and chanted words:

"Arrive! Soldiers! Fight! Take them all away!"

Upon hearing the first few words, Qin Chuan thought he could guess the rest, but after listening, he nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood.

This Night Emperor Family really doesn't follow the usual path!

Who could guess such a secret code?

"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"

At this moment, a golden vortex appeared in front of the stele, forming a space passage.

"Let's go in,"

the blonde woman said, then took the lead to go inside. Qin Chuan glanced around and then led Qin Zi in.

Soon, the vortex disappeared.

Meanwhile, in a hidden corner.

A man in black robes held a Memory Stone in his hands, leaning against a stone wall, his body sliding down weakly to sit on the ground.

He was drenched in sweat, gasping heavily, relieved at last—fortunately, he wasn't discovered by the white-robed Martial Emperor!

He was one of the guardians here, a quasi-emperor.

There was a total of four quasi-emperors here, of which three were knocked out by Qin Chuan at first glance, and he hid as the fourth!

"Lucky for me, I'm good at hiding and wasn't discovered."

"I didn't expect any remaining members of the Night Emperor to return here. As long as I hand over this Memory Stone, it'll be a great achievement!"
