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

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan's eyes lit up. He was about to speak, but after glancing around, he asked, "Could you please take me to a quiet place, Senior Guan?"

Guan Yueyue frowned slightly, glanced at the fire spirit stones Qin Chuan had taken out, and then said, "Put these things away and come with me."

After saying that, she turned and walked towards the top of the mountain.

"Yes!" Qin Chuan quickly put away all the fire spirit stones and followed the woman's footsteps.

"Ugh…"

Seeing Instructor Guan leave with Qin Chuan, the horse-faced disciple shook his head and sighed; the duck that was about to be eaten had flown away.

"Brother!"

Just then, a voice came from behind. The horse-faced disciple was startled and turned around to see Qin Chuan tossing him a fire spirit stone. "Thank you for your help, Senior Brother!"

Catching the tossed fire spirit stone, the horse-faced disciple grinned and muttered, "This guy's quite interesting..."

As they walked up the mountain, Guan Yueyue looked at Qin Chuan, who had followed them, and said, "You know how to behave!"

Her words contained no derogatory intent; on the contrary, they carried a hint of admiration.

Too many disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect are so focused on their cultivation that they neglect interpersonal relationships, often unknowingly making many enemies.

Qin Chuan was surprised that the woman had noticed his small act earlier. He paused for a moment, then said, "It was nothing."

"Do you know that the disciple just now might have swallowed your fire spirit stone, then pretended to come over, but wasn't really there to help you?" Guan Yueyue asked.

Qin Chuan nodded. "I know."

Guan Yueyue was slightly taken aback. "You know?"

"Here you are now?" Qin Chuan smiled and said, "Even if that person didn't help me, just pretending to walk around will definitely attract attention."

After I repeated it a few times, someone would eventually be willing to help me, or even if they didn't, you would definitely find out about it anyway.

Guan Yueyue looked at Qin Chuan seriously for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said, "You're quite an interesting kid."

Qin Chuan smiled faintly and said nothing more.

About two hours later, Guan Yueyue, who was walking ahead, came to the edge of a cliff at the top of the mountain and suddenly stopped and said, "We're here!"

Qin Chuan, who was deep in thought, was caught off guard when Guan Yueyue suddenly stopped and bumped into the woman's back.

Instantly, his face felt an incredibly soft touch, and at the same time, a pleasant body fragrance filled his heart.

"You'd better give me an explanation!" Guan Yueyue immediately turned around, her eyebrows furrowed, and looked at Qin Chuan with displeasure.

Qin Chuan quickly explained, "I'm sorry, I was thinking about something and didn't see you suddenly stop."

Guan Yueyue frowned slightly and said calmly, "Who asked you that? Tell me why you were willing to spend fire spirit stones to see me!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the other party wasn't angry about what had just happened.

After a moment's thought, Qin Chuan said earnestly, "Senior Guan, my name is Qin Chuan, the young master of Qin in the nearby Guiyun City. May I ask if you can defeat a Xuanhuang Realm expert?"

"Profound Emperor Realm?" Guan Yueyue was slightly taken aback. She was initially dismissive of answering, but seeing Qin Chuan's serious expression, she replied succinctly, "Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Senior Guan, I have some conflicts with the Leiming Sect of the Qianyang Dynasty. The Leiming Sect is currently surrounding the Qin family in Guiyun City and has threatened to exterminate my entire family. There is less than a day left."

I hope Senior Guan can lend a hand. Nothing much is needed, just enough to protect the Qin family for a period of time!

Guan Yueyue didn't refuse directly; instead, she smiled and said, "Why should I help you?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan took a deep breath. He had already expected the other party to answer like this. If he didn't show something, why would anyone help him?

Immediately, he said calmly, "If Senior Guan can agree, I am willing to join the Heavenly Sword Sect."

Guan Yueyue chuckled and raised an eyebrow, saying, "I think you've misunderstood. The Heavenly Sword Sect has no shortage of geniuses; everyone wants to join our sect, but you probably..."

At this moment, Qin Chuan clenched his fists, his whole body was enveloped in a red energy, and a phantom of a Vermilion Bird appeared above his head.

"Ten-star bloodline..."

Sensing the fluctuations of this illusory figure, a glint flashed in Guan Yueyue's eyes as she stared intently at Qin Chuan, her heart churning with turbulent emotions.

She had only seen descriptions of ten-star bloodlines in ancient books, and this was the first time she had ever seen someone with ten-star bloodlines in person.

Seeing that Guan Yueyue remained silent for a long time, Qin Chuan frowned, thinking that he didn't have enough assets.

He gently raised his hand, and with a thought, a wisp of red flame shot out from his hand, swaying in the wind.

"Fire...fire!"

When Guan Yueyue saw the flame in Qin Chuan's hand, she was initially puzzled and didn't understand why he would suddenly summon the pill fire.

But she knew that Qin Chuan, who possessed the bloodline of ten stars, would not be so simple. When she carefully sensed the temperature of the flame, her pupils shrank, and she recognized this legendary treasure of heaven and earth!

Taking a deep breath, Guan Yueyue was completely unsettled. She knew that no matter the cost, she had to keep this young man in front of her!

With this thought in mind, Guan Yueyue suddenly moved closer to Qin Chuan, grabbed his hands tightly, and said with burning eyes, "Take me there now. If anyone dares to touch a member of your Qin family, I'll make them regret ever being born!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan was slightly taken aback, and disregarding the fragrance that was so close at hand, he nodded vigorously.

He knew that the Qin family was saved!

……

Guiyun City, Qin Family Compound.

Duan Mingze, the sect leader of the Thunder Sect, sat expressionlessly on a large chair, his cold gaze sweeping over the Qin family members kneeling on the ground in front of him.

After a long silence, Duan Mingze asked quietly, "How many days is it now?"

"Reporting to the sect leader, it's already the third day!" a subordinate replied.

“It’s the third day…” Duan Mingze muttered to himself, then looked at the middle-aged man at the front with a mocking gaze and sneered, “Qin Zhantian, look, your young master Qin Chuan is scared out of his wits and has completely abandoned you and gone into hiding!”

"Pah!" Qin Zhantian spat on the ground, showing no fear on his face, and said, "Your young sect master of the Thunderclap Sect, since he extracted Chuan'er's bloodline, his death is his own fault!"

"We deserve to die, but you, Duan Mingze, remember this: Chuan'er will avenge us in the future, slaughtering every last member of the Thunderclap Sect!"

The Qin family members around them echoed their agreement.

"That's right, young master will definitely avenge us!"

"It won't be long before Young Master Qin storms the Thunder Sect and wipes your Thunder Sect off the list of the Qianyang Dynasty!"

"Yes! We'll see this very soon once we're up in the sky!"

"..."

Seeing that the Qin family members were not afraid and were even shouting, Duan Mingze's expression gradually turned cold, and killing intent surged in his eyes.
