Sheng Tian opened his eyes and saw the familiar scene of the elders waiting in the Qin Palace. When they saw that the youngsters were about to return, they were elated. But that didn't last long when they saw the pitiful number of people standing.

They felt like someone kicked them hard in the gut. Soon, their pain turned into anger as they released their cultivation base to pressure every participant as one of the Older Elder shouted "Where is Young Master Qin Cheng? Don't think of leaving before you tell me the truth."

This fellow is an Emperor level expert which is by a power level these contestants couldn't oppose at all. Thankfully, the elder is only trying to pressurize them, not kill.

The second the elder said those words, all the people remembered how they almost lost their lives due to this Qin Clan's blatant lies. They endured the pain and glared at the elder as one of the brothers from Sacred Sword Sect shouted "Stop acting already! We nearly lost our lives due to your stupid lies. You wanted to unseal a monster with our lives. That Qin Cheng, he would very likely be dead."

Silence took over the entire secret room as the words left his mouth. No one expected things would turn out like this and no one doubted the validity of his claims as they were right in front of a crowd including Qin Cheng's teammates. They would have no fear saying the truth now.

After accepting the cruel truth that their brightest young master Qin Cheng most likely died, they were stricken with grief. The Clan Head and Qin Cheng's father, Qin Feng's eyes became slightly red and moist. That was his favorite son! The one he thought of leaving his future into. Now that he is gone, what should he tell his wife? Things are never going to be the same.

The Grand Elder, Qin Mu also had his eyes slightly red but he was quick to regain composure. Seeing that something has gone wrong, he decided to take a tactful approach as he said "Youngsters, do not mind the misunderstanding. Let us all talk in the meeting hall." even though he said like he was negotiating, there was an unquestionable authority behind his tone.

Qin Mu also eyed the elders as they too regained their composure and made their way to the meeting hall. They didn't even bother about telling the participants to clean their wounds. This time, the losses exceeded the gains. This made the participants from the sects to feel indignant and insulted but seeing that the one who spoke was Qin Mu, they kept their silence.

Sheng Tian just like everyone else was in the crowd. He remembered clearly that the alchemist

Yu Yang gave him a different, dangerous feeling, unlike other enemies. Now he understood why it is likely because he is also a devil.

When the disciple of the Sacred Sword Sect shouted about releasing the monster, Yu Yang's eyes became brighter and involuntarily a small smile was formed on his lips.


Sheng Tian conformed his assumption with this response from him. Now his mind was thinking of all the possibilities. What is their end goal? According to Ling Chen and Liu feifei, it should be ending humanity. And 'Qin Cheng' told that the entire 'Mythical World' would be conquered by them. Hm...So, world-conquering and a war which would lead to a genocide of humanity in the process as well as crippling the martial arts civilization of this world. Pretty long term, huh.

But this is all possible only if they have sufficient power and enough people. Considering how they tried to do things in the dark, there is a high chance they are not confident of beating the combined forces of the continent and only wanted to do things from the dark.

But considering how they came out to gather their expert: bloody wolf, it is to be estimated that they are strengthening quickly.

Sheng Tian shrugged it off and left this topic as he followed his fellow teammates to the Meeting Hall.

After they got to the meeting hall, Qin Feng and Qin Mu sat on the dais while the participants sat on the sets below. The Alchemist Yu Yang sat on the highest available seat in the hall excluding the ones on the stage.

Qin Feng regained his composure already and looked at the crowd. He coughed slightly and said in a loud yet calm tone "Now, each of the contestants, describe what happened clearly."

As a result, each and everyone told their own experience. No one else other than the five knew about the devils. The only interesting part was the 'Ancestral Tomb' which is itself a huge trap from the very beginning.

The fight between Qin Cheng and Sheng Tian cursing him "F*ck your mom" received a few raised eyebrows. It was too brazen. When Qin Feng heard this, he became furious. He just wanted to torture Sheng Tian and then kill him. But Qin Mu signaled him to calm down and deal with it after the narrations are over.

But the problem was everyone told that they lost consciousness after they were assaulted in the circular seats. Ling Chen, Liu feifei, Qin Qing, Sheng Tian, and Leng Yue Yan too did the same.

At first, Sheng Tian thought that someone pure and cold like Leng Yue Yan would be unable to lie and be caught. But much to his surprise, she had the same ice-cold indifferent expression when replying to the questions and there were no signs of lying at all!

It seems like he underestimated this Big Sis's coldness use. Ling Chen, Liu feifei didn't even flinch while lying given their vast experience. Qin Qing also managed to not make any mistakes. It seems like companionship with the couple is making her a professional liar too.

When they heard about the red box which needed everyone's profound energy to be unsealed, Qin Feng and Qin Mu furrowed their brows. They obviously sensed something hidden in the arrangement of the test.

Why would someone so great as Qin Ancestor have trouble opening a box which these juniors could open? But the contestants were blinded by greed and didn't shed tears until they saw the coffin. It is obvious that for them that it is definitely due to this 'Bloody Wolf.'

And the most disturbing fact was the aura released by the bloody wolf they described when the voice declared its plan. According to them, it was a mix of pitch black and blood red. It showed extreme bloodlust, evil and desolateness.

When they woke up, the red box was scattered and the monster likely escaped.

Indeed, this is sending them to their own graves. They are lucky to survive. And then was the signs of a fierce battle which broke the walls, cracked the floor and blasted the roof.

It showed that there was indeed a fight when these people were unconscious, but who could do such great damage?

And when everyone regained their consciousness, they didn't find any treasures but only found a broken formation. It is likely to be taken away by the unsealed monster.

Then did the ones who disappeared were also taken by the Monster! That could be the only explanation.

Qin Feng arrived at the conclusion and whispered it to Qin Mu. Qin Mu, being the Old Fox he is, looked at the crowd and said "Now, according to the rules, open your spatial rings and show us your rewards. Don't try to hide anything as you would be found easily. Then, not just your treasures will be taken."

Qin Feng understood his father's intention. It is to find any clues. But disappointingly, out of all the 15 people present, no one had anything suspicious. Sheng Tian was found with the highest number of spirit fruits while Ling Chen was found with the highest blood crystals. Considering the strength they displayed, it was not astonishing.

While the Inheritance Chamber is said to give them the techniques directly via consciousness, that is for the normal level of completion. So no one could know what inheritance you acquired there. Yet, Sheng Tian got the highest level of rewards: The Physical Inheritances i.e., the Cultivation techniques as well as the treasures. But alas, all of them are in the Snow Glazed lotus right now thus keeping everyone in dark.

Seeing that this is going nowhere, Qin Mu started speaking "We'll leave this matter for now. We would question you if we need anything. Arriving at the point of the trials, the winner is decided."

He looked at Qin Qing, his old but clear eyes showing appreciation as well as expectation. Then he asked her softly "My granddaughter, how many Jade Seals did you acquire?"

It would be extremely bizarre for a grandfather to talk to his granddaughter like that just after one of his grandsons's died. But people in cultivation world are used to seeing deaths and are more accepting of it.

In fact, there is even a saying " You might see the sun tomorrow so, drink full for tonight and sleep under the moonlight."

Sheng Tian was the only one who felt a little out of place seeing how things changed from a murder investigation to clan head selection.

Aii, different strokes for different folks. They don't feel weird, I guess. He thought.

Qin Qing replied "32" as she took out the seals. Everyone's breathing became rapid as their faces turned red.

Sheng Tian looked around trying to see whether there was a naked beauty running to excite these Old Fellas to such state. Those were the signs of sexual arousal, weren't they?

But alas, there was no naked beauty. So, why did these guys became more excited than their day of virginity loss? Did they have some uses for these Jade seals like.....

Sheng Tian soon found the answer as Qin Mu shouted "Wonderful. Marvelous. Stunning..."

Sheng Tian really wanted to retort " F*ck, Stop saying my names and get to the point."

Qin Mu laughed out like he just found a new wife along with Qin Feng as he said with a laugh "Haha, You are my, Qin Mu's granddaughter. This is the highest number of Jade Seals to be ever collected. It means our Qin Clan's fortune would undoubtedly soar to an unprecedented level."

Qin Feng interrupted like with a larger smile as he said "What are you talking about father? She is my, Qin Feng's daughter first, then your grand daughter. Good daughter, you are your father's pride. Good, Good, Good, Good, Good,.....Good,..."

'Good your mother, How many times do you have to say? Stop it already!' Sheng Tian shouted frantically in his mind. For a second he even doubted 'Did this fellow's brain stopped working from overexcitement.'

Fortunately, he was stopped from saying 'Good' again due to Qin Mu. The Old Grandpa like figure,

Qin Mu said waving his hands generously "All of you enjoy our hospitality and rest properly. I will send the delicacies. You may make any requests you like. There will be a banquet tomorrow, celebrating the arrival of new Clan Head."

Saying so, he left the hall along with Qin Feng who had a face full of smiles like a blooming garden of flowers followed shortly by Yu Yang who was calm with his usual kind smile which was a bit brighter this time.

They even forgot to take half of the share from the treasures.

Sheng Tian looked at the two guys laughing like fools and muttered "weirdos" as he turned to return to his courtyard.
