We Agreed to Brag Together, But You Secretly Dominated the World

Chapter 259: Prodigy Gathering

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Ling Yu was the younger cousin of the Spirit Race Patriarch. His cultivation was at the Quasi-Saint Realm. Although not the top among Quasi-Saint Realm powerhouses, he was still quite powerful, absolutely not someone an ordinary Quasi-Saint Realm expert of those common saint-level forces could compare with. There shouldn’t be many who could kill him.

“A few years ago, several Spirit Race members perished, but 1 didn’t pay it much attention back then. Now that Ling Yu died, could it be that Qin Ning has returned?” The Spirit Race Patriarch gazed at the void before him, speaking solemnly.

Qin Ning was Qin Hao’s father. They were both at the Quasi-Saint Realm. However, Qin Ning’s combat strength was extremely terrifying, unmatched within the Quasi-Saint Realm! He had once slain a Saint Realm powerhouse with just his Quasi-Saint Realm cultivation.

Although the Qin family had concealed this news, the Spirit Race, which had formed an alliance with the Qin family through marriage, they were naturally aware of this news. If this information spread to the outside world, it would surely cause an uproar.

Yet what the head of the Qin family said next left the Spirit Race Patriarch momentarily stunned.

“No, it wasn’t Qin Ning!”

The head of the Qin family was silent for a long while before speaking. “Qin Hao has appeared!”

“That’s good that it wasn’t Qin Ning.” The Spirit Race Patriarch first heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this. But in the next moment, he jerked his head up, as if he had heard something earth-shattering, and said with a shocked expression, “Qin… Qin Hao? You’re certain it was Qin Hao? Wasn’t he dead? How could he possibly appear again?”

“No, he’s not dead,” the head of the Qin family said, shaking his head slightly.

“Well…” The Spirit Race Patriarch was left speechless, unable to react for a long time. This news was truly beyond his expectations, leaving him at a loss.

Qin Ning still being alive was within his expectations. But Qin Hao surviving… that was far too inconceivable! The Longevity Immortal Marrow was taken away from him, his body should not be able to supply blood. In such a situation, how did Qin Hao survive?

“No, no…” The Spirit Race Patriarch pondered deeply before abruptly raising his head. His expression was incredibly solemn as he spoke, “Even if Qin Hao survived, he would be nothing but a cripple. How could a cripple kill Ling Yu? Just how did Ling Yu die?”

The head of the Qin family had already explicitly stated it wasn’t due to Qin Ning’s return. Since it wasn’t Qin Ning, who else could possibly possess the strength to kill Ling Yu?

Could it be other experts had secretly assassinated Ling Yu? There were only a handful of saint-level forces in the outside world capable of killing Ling Yu. Yet they surely wouldn’t offend the Spirit Race. If it wasn’t them, then who was responsible? The more the Spirit Race Patriarch contemplated it, the more baffled he became.

“It was indeed Qin Hao who killed him,” the head of the Qin family stated in a deep voice.

“Impossible!” In the next moment, the Spirit Race Patriarch bellowed in disbelief.

One had to know that it wasn’t just Ling Yu alone. There were over five to six Quasi-Saint Realm experts accompanying him! How could Qin Hao alone kill them all?

Moreover, how old was Qin Hao? Even if he had cultivated from the womb, it was absolutely impossible at his age to slay a Quasi-Saint Realm expert, let alone an exceptional one!

Furthermore, Qin Hao’s physique had been crippled a few years prior. Without some special opportunity, he should currently be no more than a useless cripple. There was no way he could possess the strength to kill a Quasi-Saint Realm expert!

“Someone helped him,” the head of the Qin family said plainly.

Hearing this, the Spirit Race Patriarch hurriedly asked, “Who?”

“Su Chen!” the head of the Qin family replied in a deep voice. “It was Su Chen who arranged the killing formation, forcibly suppressing Ling Yu and others’ strength, allowing Qin Hao to succeed! Within that formation, not only did Ling Yu and the rest have to contend with the formation’s attacks, but they also had to face Qin Hao’s assault. That’s why Qin Hao possessed the power to kill them.”

After that, the head of the Qin family fell silent, covertly observing the Spirit Race Patriarch’s reaction. After all, this news was far too shocking. Even when he first learned of it, he could hardly believe it himself.

“Su Chen?” The Spirit Race Patriarch’s brows furrowed slightly at the name. It sounded familiar, yet he couldn’t recall where he had heard it.

After a long moment, the Spirit Race Patriarch’s body shuddered as he abruptly jerked his head up and spoke in a deep voice, “Are you talking about Su Chen, the Holy Son of the Great Mystery Sacred Sect?”

“Mm.” The head of the Qin family nodded lightly and continued, “It’s that very Holy Son of the Great Mystery Sacred Sect. Yet for some reason, he became Qin Hao’s big brother, protecting him in all matters. Within the secret land of the God Demon Sect, he even bestowed a Black Tortoise’s egg upon Qin Hao.”

Hearing this, the Spirit Race Patriarch’s expression darkened, his eyes brimming with killing intent. “This Su Chen is truly daring! Isn’t he afraid our Spirit Race will retaliate against the Great Mystery Sacred Sect? A faction that has only just advanced to the saint level actually dares provoke our Spirit Race? Do they really think our Spirit Race has declined so greatly?”

“No!” the head of the Qin family spoke with a solemn expression. “We still need to consider this carefully. Su Chen absolutely has an unfathomable background! If we make a move against him, not only your Spirit Race, but even our Qin family will be hard-pressed.”

“What do you mean by that?” the Spirit Race Patriarch asked, perplexed.

“I don’t know what means Su Chen used, but he has won over a great many Quasi-Saint Realm experts,” the head of the Qin family explained. “Each of them treats Su Chen with the utmost respect. Attacking Su Chen is akin to declaring war on all those factions. When that time comes, not just your Spirit Race, even our Qin family will be implicated!”

“Then…” The Spirit Race Patriarch’s face clouded with displeasure. “Are we just to watch as Qin Hao grows up?”

The head of the Qin family had explicitly stated earlier that Su Chen had only suppressed Ling Yu and the others. The killer was Qin Hao. From this, one could see that Qin Hao’s present level should be at the God Altar Realm, or perhaps Spirit Sea Realm.

It had only been a little more than one year since Qin Hao’s physique was crippled, and his potential for the future was unimaginable. If they didn’t eradicate Qin Hao now, as long as Qin Hao fully matured, even with Qin Yuan’s protection, it would be impossible to shield everyone. After all, Qin Yuan could not remain by the Qin family and the Spirit Race’s side daily.

And behind Qin Hao was the shockingly gifted Su Chen. As the Holy Son of the Great Mystery Sacred Sect, and moreover possessing the Crimson Flame Divine Body, his future accomplishments were not to be underestimated. If he took action, the future Spirit Race and Qin family would be in grave peril.

“We naturally cannot allow Qin Hao to fully mature,” the head of the Qin family said after pondering for a time. “The East Barrens’ Prodigy Gathering will soon begin,” he continued. “At that time, all the various faction’s prodigies will converge. That may be our opportunity! As long as we lie in wait for when Su Chen and Qin Hao participate in the Prodigy Gathering, everything will be in our hands..”
