After conquering the Empress, I proved my Dao with the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace!

Tianyuan Continent, Qianyang Dynasty, Guiyun City.

When Qin Chuan returned to this place, he couldn't help but feel as if he had been transported to another world.

After helping Empress Yaoxi clear the poison of the Other Shore Flower, he was expelled from the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace space.

Before leaving the Burial Abyss, Empress Yaoxi gave Qin Chuan a scroll of cultivation technique called the Boundless Void Technique, and left him with a message.

"The second outbreak of the Red Spider Lily's spring poison will occur in one year. If you haven't reached the Profound Emperor Realm by then, you will die when I unite with you in yin and yang..."

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan couldn't help but want to curse. It's true that there are only oxen that die from exhaustion, not land that can't be plowed properly.

He clenched his fists tightly. Whether it was for revenge or to survive, he needed to improve his strength as soon as possible.

Just then, a boy walked towards them on the street.

It was my cousin, Qin Shan.

When Qin Shan saw Qin Chuan, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked anxiously, "Brother Chuan, where have you been for the past two weeks?"

Half a month?

Qin Chuan was slightly taken aback. Empress Yao Xi had indeed not lied to him. One hundred days in the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace space was equivalent to one day in the outside world.

He had actually been in the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace space for more than four years, but in the outside world, it had only been half a month.

Qin Chuan was about to explain when Qin Shan waved his hand to interrupt him, "Let's not talk about that now, Brother Chuan, come with me to the council hall. Because of your disappearance, the Qin family is arguing fiercely over the vacant position of young master!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan's gaze turned cold, and without hesitation, he headed straight for the Qin family's residence.

……

Inside the council hall of the Qin family.

The hall was packed with people, and a somber atmosphere permeated the space.

The man in the main seat was a middle-aged man with a dignified expression; he was none other than Qin Zhantian, the head of the Qin family.

Below, on the left and right, stood a group of Qin family elders, while at the very front stood a young man in brocade robes with an arrogant expression.

Qin Zhantian frowned and said angrily, "Elder! Qin Chuan has only been missing for half a month, are you in such a hurry to push your grandson Qin Feng to the position?"

The elder, dressed in a gray robe, stepped forward and sneered, "Qin Chuan has been missing for half a month. We don't even know if he's dead or alive. We should appoint a new young master."

Even assuming Qin Chuan were still alive, given his lost bloodline and shattered dantian, he's practically a cripple and unsuitable to continue as the young master of the Qin family!

Upon hearing this, before Qin Zhantian could even speak, the Second Elder stepped forward.

He glared angrily at the Grand Elder and said, "Qin Kun! Do you know how much Young Master Qin Chuan has contributed to our Qin family? Even when his dantian was destroyed, it was to secure the greatest benefit for the Qin family."

"Won't your words chill the hearts of all the Qin family members and make you a laughingstock throughout Guiyun City?"

"Heartbroken? Ridiculed?"

The First Elder glanced at the Second Elder and said disdainfully, "What the Qin family needs most right now is a young master who can lead us to the top of the three major families, not an adopted son who is already crippled and whose fate is unknown."

He emphasized the word "adopted son" much more.

"you!"

The Second Elder was so angry that his face turned red, his robes fluttered in the wind, and a powerful aura slowly rose up.

Seeing this, the Grand Elder was not to be outdone, and the same pressure belonging to a Xuan Master realm expert rose from his body.

"enough!"

Just as the situation was about to spiral out of control, Qin Zhantian slammed his hand on the table next to him, shattering it and stopping the farce.

Upon hearing this, the Second Elder, though unwilling, reluctantly dissipated the oppressive aura he had gathered.

The Grand Elder snorted coldly and withdrew his imposing aura.

"Fine..."

Qin Zhantian, sitting in the main seat, sighed, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

He slowly began, "Today, Qin Feng shall be appointed..."

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder and Zou Feng were overjoyed, staring intently at Qin Zhantian, quietly awaiting his announcement.

boom!

Just then, the council chamber door was kicked open.

"Wait!"

A cold voice reached the ears of everyone in the council hall.

Upon hearing that familiar voice, everyone looked towards the door. The First Elder's eyes widened in disbelief; he never expected that the other person would return alive.

Upon entering the council hall, Qin Chuan bowed to Qin Zhantian, who was seated at the head of the table, and said, "Clan leader, Qin Chuan is late."

Qin Chuan knew that his dantian had been destroyed and that Qin Zhantian had disappeared without a trace during the past two weeks. He must have been under a lot of pressure.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." Qin Zhantian was excited to see Qin Chuan return and waved his hands repeatedly.

"Hmph! Just a piece of trash. So what if he comes back alive? He's still just a piece of trash!"

Qin Feng, who was inside the hall, spoke coldly, his words filled with disdain.

He was just a hair's breadth away from being appointed as the new young master of the Qin family by Qin Zhantian.

Suddenly, Qin Chuan walked up to Qin Feng and slapped him hard across the face.

"Snapped!"

Qin Feng staggered and crashed heavily to the ground.

This sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard, and even Qin Feng himself was taken aback.

Qin Feng quickly scrambled to his feet, clutching his swollen left cheek, with trickles of blood seeping from between his fingers.

His eyes seemed to spit fire as he stared intently at Qin Chuan. "You actually dared to hit me?"

"It was you who hit!"

Qin Chuan sneered, "I am still the young master of the Qin family. Your disrespectful words to me are an insult to the clan leader and the entire Qin family!"

"Tell me, should I hit you or not!"

Upon hearing Qin Chuan's words, Qin Feng's expression shifted between light and shadow.

Just as Qin Chuan said, he was still the young master at this moment, and Qin Feng couldn't find anything to say.

The entire room fell silent because of Qin Chuan's action.

After a long silence, the First Elder broke the silence first, saying, "It's been a while since I last saw you, and Young Master Qin Chuan's sharpness has increased even more. It's just a pity that you are no longer suitable to continue being the Young Master."

Qin Chuan smiled and said, "Whether I'm suitable or not is up to you, Qin Kun, to decide!"

Hearing Qin Chuan address him by his full name, the elder's eyes gradually turned cold. He hadn't expected that the other party wouldn't even give him face.

"Qin Chuan! I challenge you to a duel to the death!"

Just then, Qin Feng, with a gloomy face, stared intently at Qin Chuan not far away.

Wow!

These words caused an uproar in the hall!

You must understand that once a life-or-death duel begins, it is a fight to the death, and in the end, only one person can survive.

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder felt a jolt in his heart. In the past, he would have agreed with Qin Feng's actions without hesitation.

But after Qin Chuan slapped Qin Feng just now, for some reason, he had a vague sense of foreboding.

Qin Chuan remained expressionless and smiled slightly, "When?"

Qin Feng was slightly taken aback. He hadn't expected Qin Chuan, that good-for-nothing, to answer so readily instead of refusing outright.

"seven…"

Just as he was about to answer seven days later, Qin Chuan suddenly said, "How about now?"

"well!"

Qin Feng was taken aback, then subconsciously nodded in response.

No sooner had he finished speaking than Qin Chuan dodged and punched Qin Feng directly in the throat.

The latter immediately bled profusely from his throat and collapsed to the ground, dying instantly.

Qin Feng, who was once arrogant and domineering, is now a corpse.
