Chapter 433: They, All Deserve to Die
December 18, 2024
"Grandpa, him, him?"
As soon as they stepped out of the yard, Qin Yu couldn't help but ask, "How did he come here? Didn't he say he wasn't coming? And just now, you said the leader went to pick him up too?"
"Shh."
Elder Qin made a gesture for silence, and only after they arrived home did he say, "Little Yu, be mindful in front of that person from now on. Don't be as impolite as you were during your first meeting."
"What? When was I ever impolite? And even if I was, it was because he barged in without considering the situation and hit my people. How could I have been polite to him?"
Qin Yu spoke with displeasure.
"Ahem, it's true that he was a bit impulsive back then, but he meant well."
"Grandpa, why are you always speaking up for him?"
"No, no."
Elder Qin scratched his head awkwardly and said, "I didn't mean anything by what I said earlier. I just wanted to remind you that Jiang Xiaoxiong, he's not the same person as before."
"Not the same person? What do you mean?" Qin Yu widened her eyes.
"Guess, what level of strength is he at now?"
"Isn't he a Third Rank Force Swordsman?" Qin Yu replied without a moment's thought.
"Guess again."
Elder Qin shook his head.
"Fourth Rank? Even if he's a Fourth Rank, so what? I'm already a Fourth Rank Force Swordsman too." Qin Yu spoke with some pride.
After that incident, she had diligently cultivated, and even her teachers praised her rapid progress.
"Guess again?"
Elder Qin blinked.
"Im... impossible, he can't be a Fifth Rank Force Swordsman, right?"
Qin Yu was reluctant, pouting.
"Even if he's a Fifth Rank, it's only a matter of time before I catch up to him."
"Wrong."
Elder Qin burst into laughter and extended a finger.
"First Rank Force Swordsman?"
The words slipped out of Qin Yu's mouth, but she immediately realized that it was impossible.
Who becomes weaker the more they cultivate?
The next second, a bold thought appeared in her mind.
One?
First Rank Grandmaster?
"That's right."
It was as if Elder Qin had seen through his granddaughter's thoughts. He spoke seriously, "He's already a First Rank Force Grandmaster."
"No, it's impossible!"
Qin Yu shook her head repeatedly.
How much time had passed since that incident? How could the other party have gone from a Third Rank Force Swordsman to a First Rank Force Grandmaster?
Even with her proud and arrogant nature, faced with such a vast difference in strength, she could only feel deep despair.
"Little Yu, I know you don't believe it, and I didn't believe it at first either. But this is the truth, so I wanted to remind you. When you see him again, be a little more careful when talking to him."
"Hmph, I don't believe it." Qin Yu turned her head away.
Seeing this, Elder Qin sighed inwardly.
Due to the early passing of her parents and his frequent mission assignments, Qin Yu had developed a strong and independent personality.
It was understandable that she couldn't accept this sudden news.
Fortunately, Jiang Cheng wasn't the narrow-minded type. Even if he noticed Qin Yu's bad attitude, he wouldn't hold it against her.
"You're interested in alchemy, right?"
Hearing this, Qin Yu turned back curiously.
"Jiang Cheng, he's a Tenth Rank Alchemist. Tomorrow, he will go to the academy and serve as the deputy director of the alchemy department. If you have any questions about alchemy, you can ask him."
"I don't want to." Qin Yu immediately denied, but suddenly, she paused, "Ten? Tenth Rank Alchemist?"
"Yes.
"Elder Qin chuckled, "He can refine the top-grade Vigor Pill, a third-rank medicinal pill of the highest quality, comparable to a fourth-rank beginner pill. Strictly speaking, he should be an eleventh-rank alchemist."
"How is that possible?"
Qin Yu was stunned.
She didn't understand why, in such a short time, the other party had become so formidable. The two were once on the same level, but now, according to Grandpa, they were like heaven and earth apart.
"Good child, there are always some people in this world who are different from others. Take our leader, for example; he's barely in his thirties, and he's about to become a Supreme Being. Compared to him, someone like me has lived in vain."
Elder Qin forced a bitter smile.
"So, you have to learn to compromise with yourself. Just compare yourself to yourself, understand?"
Qin Yu remained silent.
It was evident that she was still quite unconvinced.
Elder Qin couldn't help but smile wryly.
This was normal; who hadn't gone through this stage? Some things could only be understood through personal experience.
...
Night fell.
In the depths of the mountains, darkness enveloped the area once more.
In another underground city, tens of thousands of kilometers away from Hope City.
Inside a room, a tall man was listening to his subordinate's report. After hearing it, the man's deep voice resonated.
"Is it confirmed that the Supreme Being from the Gu family has fallen?"
"It has been confirmed, Leader."
The subordinate quickly added, "This news has spread throughout Dongfang City; almost everyone knows about it. Not only that, but the Gu family Patriarch also died in this incident."
"Good riddance!"
The man burst into a hearty laugh.
"Every single one of the Gu family members deserved to die!"
"Yes, Leader. Not just the Gu family, but the other families in the Inner District should all meet their end!" the subordinate echoed.
"Indeed."
The middle-aged man's eyes darkened.
If he weren't just a First Rank Supreme Being, he would have charged in and slaughtered the major families.
Decades ago, during that great war, even though they didn't directly participate, they should have been punished for merely standing by and watching.
"How's the situation in Hope City?"
"This time, the Gu family went all out and successfully intercepted Leader Chu. Fortunately, Elder Wan arrived in time to save them. It's said that the reason Leader Chu and his team were caught up with was due to the Shadow Church secretly spreading information." The subordinate whispered.
"Is that so?"
"Yes, Leader. Those from the Shadow Church are not good people. They knew that Leader Chu and we are on the same side, fighting against a common enemy, yet they did this." The subordinate's voice carried anger.
If Elder Wan had been just a little late, wouldn't Chu Feng and his team have been doomed? The Resistance Alliance could ill afford to lose any more of their powerful members.
"Leader, I think the Shadow Church..."
"Enough, I understand."
The middle-aged man interrupted.
"Are there any other matters?"
"No, none."
The subordinate shook his head, swallowing the words that had reached his lips.
"If there's nothing else, you may leave first."
"Yes, Leader." The subordinate had no choice but to retreat.
The middle-aged man stared into the void, hesitating for a moment before taking out a mirror from his body. In his mind's eye, Chu Feng's appearance materialized.
Far away, thousands of miles distant, Chu Feng, who was meditating and cultivating, also sensed something and opened his eyes.
