Do you want to fight to the death with my Chen family?

The next day...

In the early morning hours...

Inside the Qin family's hall...

"What? You want to go out with Nephew Li?" Qin Tianhai looked at his daughter in disbelief and asked in a deep voice.

Last night, he knew that his daughter and Li Xun had met once, but what he never expected was that they had only met once, and their interaction had lasted only a quarter of an hour.

And now, his daughter actually wanted to go out alone with Li Xun.

Wasn't this development a bit too fast?

Although the marriage had been arranged, couldn't some things be taken slowly?

"Yes," Qin Xueyi nodded lightly.

"This..." Qin Tianhai paced back and forth in the hall, then suddenly stopped and asked tentatively, "Do you really have to go out?"

"I must go out!" Qin Xueyi turned her head and glanced at Li Xun, who was standing outside with his back to the hall. As the night passed, the aura emanating from Li Xun's body became more and more terrifying, which significantly increased the safety factor of this trip. Therefore, Qin Xueyi's attitude was very firm.

"Ahem," Qin Tianhai coughed slightly, rubbed his hands together, and lowered his voice as he said, "If you must go out, then how about I send two attendants to accompany you? This way, we can ensure your safety."

"After all, given the current situation, my daughter, you must be aware that the Chen family and the Qin family have become hostile towards each other. Once you leave Luoye City, you may easily become a target for the Chen family."

"I don't feel at ease with attendants following me, and it would be inconvenient," Qin Xueyi replied.

Where she wanted to go, there was an opportunity to become a saint. Faced with this opportunity, even her closest relatives might turn against her, let alone attendants sent by her father.

Moreover, the attendants sent by her father would likely take action against her and Li Xun as soon as they saw the opportunity to become a saint. After all, once one obtained the opportunity to become a saint, even if they didn't ultimately achieve sainthood, they could still become powerful figures in the Divine Palace. At that point, the world would be vast and the earth boundless, so where could they escape to?

"Inconvenient?" After hearing Qin Xueyi's words, Qin Tianhai looked at his daughter with a complicated expression. What were these two planning? Why would it be inconvenient for him to accompany them? Did his daughter get herself into trouble so easily? They had only met once, after all.

"Daughter..." Qin Tianhai took a deep breath, glanced first at Li Xun outside the hall, then at his daughter with a somewhat sad expression, and said earnestly, "In fact, there are some things that you don't need to be in such a hurry for. Why don't you listen to your father and wait until after you're married to explore them further?"

"Father, where are you going with this?" A blush crept onto Qin Xueyi's cheeks, and she said with embarrassment, "Master Li and I are just going out to look for an opportunity. We'll be back soon."

"Looking for an opportunity?" Qin Tianhai breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't what he had initially suspected, things should be fine.

"But," Qin Tianhai thought for a moment and asked again, "Daughter, are you sure you don't want any attendants to accompany you?"

"No need," Qin Xueyi nodded.

"Very well," Qin Tianhai understood now. The opportunity mentioned by his daughter might be extraordinary, so he wouldn't insist on sending attendants.

After giving a few more heartfelt instructions, Qin Tianhai took out two jade pendants from his storage ring, placed them in Qin Xueyi's hands, and said, "These jade pendants can withstand an attack from a Life and Death Realm cultivator. If you and Nephew Li Xun are in danger, remember to use these jade pendants first. As soon as the jade pendants are damaged, I will rush to your location."

"Thank you, Father," Qin Xueyi nodded and accepted the jade pendants, then turned and walked out of the hall.

Watching his daughter's departing figure, Qin Tianhai still muttered to himself with some worry, "Is it really necessary to look for opportunities?"

Outside the hall...

Qin Xueyi walked out in her clothes, her figure swaying. Perhaps she was thinking about her father's words, but a blush appeared on her face, making her look particularly charming. She lowered her head slightly, not daring to meet Li Xun's gaze.

"Master Li, we can set off," Qin Xueyi said with a shy smile.

"Master  Qin, have you made everything clear?" Li Xun smiled and asked.

"Yes," Qin Xueyi replied with a soft snort. "Then let's go."

Li Xun didn't say anything more, he turned and walked towards the outskirts of the Qin mansion.

Once they were outside Luoye City...

To Qin Xueyi's astonishment, Li Xun summoned the Yulingzhou.

The two of them entered the cabin.

The Yulingzhou roared to life, transformed into a stream of light, sliced through the void, and disappeared into the sky.

At the same time...

In Fallen Leaf City...

In the Chen family...

The Chen family's patriarch was a middle-aged man with piercing eyes. He stood in the hall with his hands clasped behind his back. Although he hadn't said a word, his aura, as deep as the ocean, filled every corner of the room.

The servants in the hall looked pale and didn't dare to utter a sound.

"My son, has there been any news about Qin Tianhai since he's been staying with the Qin family for over a day? Clan Leader, we're doing our best to investigate. I believe... we will have news about the young clan leader soon," a servant said in a trembling voice.

The Chen clan leader turned around, his eyes as cold as a sharp blade, and fixed his gaze on the servant who had just spoken. "You mentioned 'soon.' How soon, precisely?"

The Chen clan and the Qin clan were not allies, and Qin Tianhai was well aware of their intentions. At present, neither side was certain of defeating the other completely.

However...

After his son had gone to the Qin clan, there had been no news for more than a day. He couldn't believe that Qin Tianhai had simply stayed as a guest.

"Just one day!" He declared firmly. "A single day is all it takes."

The servant who had spoken earlier gritted his teeth and responded, "Very well."

The leader of the Chen clan continued, "In that case, I'll give you one day. If you can't find out within a day..." He paused, intending to make a dire threat.

However, before he could finish his sentence, a man in a blue robe rushed into the lobby. "Clan leader, something serious has occurred!"

The man quickly approached the lobby and urgently reported, "Jiang Zongfeng, what's going on?"

The Chen clan leader softened his gaze slightly when he looked at the visitor and inquired.

The worshippers were not members of their family, and angering them could lead to them abandoning their duties.

"Today, I used several spirit stones to bribe a servant in the Qin Mansion. I learned from that servant that the young patriarch and Han Chongfeng have been imprisoned in the Qin Tianhai's dungeon!"

"And..."

"And what?" The Chen clan leader questioned.

"Furthermore... it appears that the young patriarch and Han Chongfeng's cultivations have been completely destroyed," Jiang Gongfeng said with a deep voice.

"How audacious! Is Qin Tianhai trying to engage in a life-and-death battle with my Chen family?" The Chen clan leader's eyes were about to burst with rage. His entire being was like an erupting volcano, spewing energy into the sky. The hall beneath him began to shake violently, as though it might collapse at any moment.

"Someone, come here!" He shouted loudly and then declared in a cold tone, "Gather all of our clan members who are at or above the spiritual realm and follow me to the Qin family. Today, the Chen family will wipe out the Qin family!"

"No!" Jiang Gongfeng's expression shifted dramatically. He took two steps forward once more, positioned himself in front of the Chen clan leader, and spoke quickly, "Clan leader, Qin Tianhai has formed an alliance with the Li clan from Tianyuan City!".
