Chapter 30: Qin Chuan’s Second Showdown!

Translator: Zayn_

“Pu!!”

The sharp golden light swept across, and Feng Xiao’s body suddenly trembled before he froze on the spot.

“Whoosh.”

A gust of wind blew over, and his body fell straight forward. His eyes were wide open, filled with endless fear.

Perhaps it was a coincidence, but his body just happened to fall onto the old man’s body, and they overlapped.

Of course, there was no mouth-to-mouth contact. The two of them were facing in the opposite direction. It was a perfect “battle royale survival”[1] combo.

“After killing someone, one must destroy the body and destroy the evidence. As the saying goes, if you kill someone, don’t spread the ashes. It’s a lot of trouble.”

Qin Chuan raised his right hand and released the Pure Yang Fire unique to Pure Yang realm experts, enveloping the two corpses.

Soon, the two of them were burned into ashes.

Qin Chuan used his spiritual power to scan his surroundings, dispersing his own aura.

Then, he took out a folded white silk handkerchief, layer by layer, and slowly opened it.

Inside it were more than ten strands of pitch-black hair.

These were Qin Zi’s hair.

It was something he had secretly collected on a daily basis.

“Although this place might not necessarily be found, but in order to be safe, the details have to be done well.”

He used his spiritual power to pull out three strands of hair and casually threw them on the ground around him, following the free fall movement.

Wherever they landed, that would be their position.

This way, it would not seem too deliberate.

After doing all this, he checked again. There were no other traces, so he was ready to leave.

However, after taking two steps, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the two interspatial rings on the ground that were partially covered by ashes.

“I almost forgot that I still have to take the interspatial rings away. Killing people without taking their treasures doesn’t fit that kid’s identity.”

He waved his right hand and sucked the two interspatial rings into his hand. Then, he flew at a low altitude and left the scene.

…

Another three days passed.

Bai Chen, Qin Zi, and the others returned to Minghao City, but Qin Chuan deliberately delayed it for a while.

As a result, when Bai Chen sent Qin Zi back to the house, Qin Zi was dumbfounded on the spot.

“Where… Where’s my father?”

He returned after a long trip, but found that his home was empty. There was an unspeakable sense of loss in his heart.

Not only that, there was also an instinctive panic. Did something happen to Father? Does Father not want me anymore?

Although his rationality told him that it was impossible, he was still at a loss emotionally.

“Qin Zi.”

Bai Chen patted his shoulder and comforted him, “Don’t worry. Your father is just out on some errands.”

“He told me a few days ago that he asked me to take you to Wujiang City because he had other things to do.”

“Really?”

Qin Zi looked at Bai Chen.

“Do I look like I’m lying?” Bai Chen asked calmly.

“That’s good. That’s good.”

Qin Zi instantly relaxed when he heard that. He patted his chest and smiled.

“Do you have anything else? If not, I’ll leave first.”

Bai Chen said.

“It’s fine. This time… I’ll have to trouble uncle Bai,” Qin Zi said gratefully.

“It’s just a small matter. No need to thank me.”

A gentle smile appeared on Bai Chen’s face. He enjoyed being called Uncle Bai.

At least, their relationship had gotten closer.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Bai Chen left the courtyard.

Thus, only Qin Zi and a few pitiful handmaidens were left in the huge courtyard.

Logically speaking, under such circumstances, he could close the door and do something he wanted to do.

However, he wasn’t in the mood.

Thus, he took out a chair and sat at the spot opposite the door of the courtyard, waiting for his father to return.

He waited for half a day!

Evening.

The red clouds filled the sky, and the burning clouds were like fireworks, dyeing half of Minghao City orange.

“Whoosh!”

Finally, Qin Zi noticed a bright golden light shooting over from the horizon. Like a sharp sword, it cut through the red clouds in the sky.

“Dong!”

In the end, the golden light fell into the courtyard and turned into a drunk figure kneeling on one knee.

He had his head lowered. His messy hair fell down, covering his face. There was an indescribable sadness and decadence.

“Father?!”

Qin Zi suddenly stood up from the chair and looked at this figure in shock. How did his father become like this?

“Come in.”

Qin Chuan slowly stood up. He seemed to be a little unsteady, but his voice was extremely calm. It was low and slightly hoarse.

Qin Zi quickly ran over to support him.

Instantly, a strong smell of alcohol assaulted his nostrils.

“Dad, what happened? Why are you drinking like this?” Qin Zi’s face was full of worry as he asked with heartache.

“Hehe, I’m fine. I went to pay my respects to an old friend.”

Qin Chuan staggered and smiled with his drunken eyes. “This old brother liked to drink when he was alive, so I drank a little with him…”

“Old friends?!”

Qin Zi’s eyes widened.

He suddenly felt a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he felt that everything was natural.

Father had cultivated to such a state, so he certainly would have made a few friends on the way. It would be strange if there were no friends at all.

No one was an isolated island.

Soon, Qin Zi helped Qin Chuan into the living room and let him lean on the reclining chair covered with tiger hide.

He closed the door and asked, “Dad, can you tell me about your past? I didn’t know you had these friends.”

His father was too mysterious!

He felt that as his father’s only son, he had the right to know about his father’s past.

Moreover, he had always had a doubt in his heart that he couldn’t figure out no matter how hard he tried. Even his master couldn’t figure it out.

That was…

His father was only in his thirties, and his father’s cultivation had been sealed not long after he was born.

That was to say, when his father’s cultivation had been sealed, he had just turned twenty years old.

And from what his father had said before, it seemed that his father had reached the ninth realm of cultivation at that time, and even surpassed it?!

What kind of concept was that?

A twenty-year-old martial emperor?!

Was it fake?

Was it fake?!

However, from his father’s performance during this period of time, it didn’t seem to be fake. Even his master was a little afraid of his father.

What was going on?

He couldn’t figure it out, he couldn’t figure it out!

Therefore, he decided to take this opportunity to ask.

“Hehe, Little Zi, I know what you’re confused about. Since you’ve asked, I have nothing to hide.”

Qin Chuan looked at him with a deep gaze. There was a slightly tipsy smile on his face as he said, “Actually… This is my second life.”

“What?!”

Qin Zi’s eyes widened.

Even the blonde woman who was listening attentively in the ring was stunned on the spot, as if she were struck by a bolt from the blue.

“Are you very surprised? I thought you guys could guess it.”

Qin Chuan shook his head with a smile and said, “It’s not easy to cultivate. The higher the cultivation realm, the more difficult it is. Many people can not reach the Martial Emperor realm even after thousands of years of cultivation. How can I reach it at the age of 20?”

“No matter what, I have to be 30 or 40 years old.”

He paused and said with a smile, “The reason why I reached the Martial Emperor realm at the age of 20, or even surpassed it, is because I reached that realm in my previous life and had the comprehension of that realm.”

“So, when I cultivate again in this life, I have no bottlenecks at all. I can cultivate to that realm step by step.”

Under the stunned gaze of his son, Qin Chuan continued, “Actually, I wasn’t from this world in my previous life. Instead, I came from an upper realm, which is where your mother’s family is located.

“And in this life, after I awakened the memories of my previous life, I’ve been cultivating silently in the Qin family. At the age of 18, I surpassed the Martial Emperor realm.

“Because my past grudges and grudges were all in the upper realm, and this small world was not worth my attention, after I surpassed the Martial Emperor Realm, I directly shattered the void and headed to the upper realm.

“Therefore, I don’t know much about this world. I don’t have many friends in this world, only one or two.

“That old brother was a friend that I met by chance when I was sixteen years old. He shared the same interests as me… Unfortunately, I went to the upper realm for two years. When I brought your mother back, he had already passed away.”

As he said this, a hint of disappointment appeared in his eyes again. It was as if he could not let go of the past for a long time…

“So that’s how it is…”

Qin Zi’s eyes were in a trance, but there was a sudden realization in his heart. It was as if he had pushed aside the dark clouds and seen the bright moon.

It was not just him.

Even the blonde woman in the ring was breathing rapidly. Her eyes were empty as she muttered to herself, “So that’s how it is… so that’s how it is…”

She understood.

She completely understood!!!
