Upon hearing Lu Yang’s words, the previously indifferent Childe Qin’s expression changed drastically.
Whether Lu Yang was an ancient genius or a disciple of the Heavenly Court, it had nothing to do with him, nor was it something he had the right to interfere with.
But Lu Yang claiming that he had found the reincarnation of Qin Haoran was a different matter.
If the other party had found the reincarnation of Qin Haoran, then what was his own existence?
Childe Qin had a clear understanding of himself. His existence was for the sole purpose of inheriting Qin Haoran’s legacy in a logical and orderly manner.
Despite being the same age as Lu Yang and others, he was already in the late stage of Foundation Establishment, progressing faster in cultivation than Lu Yang’s junior brothers and sisters.
In reality, his cultivation talent was not as good as it seemed. This was a result of the high-ranking members of the Nine Nether Sect artificially boosting his cultivation level to match Qin Haoran’s talent.
Such forced growth would lead to endless troubles in the future. The difficulties in cultivation would be numerous, and advancing to the Body Fusion stage would be as difficult as ascending to heaven. He might be stuck in the Void Refinement stage for his entire life, or even at a lower level.
“Who did you say is my reincarnation?” Childe Qin stared at Lu Yang with a deep voice, wishing he could swallow him whole.
“Who are you?” Lu Yang was puzzled. Little Seven had said that Mr. Mi would always go alone for safety reasons. Why did he bring a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator this time, and even hide a Divine Transformation stage bodyguard?
Whose illegitimate child was this?
“I am the reincarnation of Qin Haoran, Qin Tian!”
“Oh?” Lu Yang looked at Qin Tian, first showing a slight surprise, then quickly understanding the situation with a smile on his face.
Excluding the possibility of Qin Haoran’s soul splitting into three, Li Haoran was definitely the reincarnation of Qin Haoran. This self-proclaimed Qin Tian was most likely a fake pushed out by someone with ulterior motives.
Perhaps it was to inherit Qin Haoran’s legacy, or perhaps it was for the high-ranking members of the Nine Nether Sect to fight for the position of the sect leader and prove their legitimacy in advance.
Regardless of which, it was nothing to be afraid of and would not affect the overall situation.
“You’re talking nonsense!” Upon hearing Qin Tian’s words, Qin Yanyan became like an enraged cat, pinching eight Thunder Talismans between her fingers and shooting them at Qin Tian like arrows!
Although Qin Haoran was an unreliable father, she would not tolerate anyone impersonating her father’s reincarnation in front of her!
The talismans flashed instantly, and a thunderous explosion erupted from the ground. The milky-white thunder exploded like a Flood Dragon dancing in the air, crashing towards the opponent.
Qin Tian did not expect Qin Yanyan to suddenly lose her temper and hurriedly responded. The formation under his feet quickly rotated, raising beams of light to intercept the thunder. The thunder and light beams collided continuously.
Qin Haoran was best at formations, and coincidentally, Qin Tian was also good at formations.
The milky-white thunder turned into a thunderous pulp, causing a deafening explosion. The real Qin Tian almost lost his footing.
Qin Yanyan took advantage of the situation and strengthened the talismans on her body. Her strength and speed instantly increased to the limit her body could bear. She stepped on the Seven Star Step, her figure flickering like a ghost, and her right foot swept across.
Qin Tian made hand seals, and the formation under his feet suddenly changed, forming a light curtain in front of him.
“Stop!”
Crack——
With a soft shout from Qin Yanyan, she added more force to her foot and actually shattered the barrier.
Taking advantage of the moment when the formation was ineffective, Qin Yanyan bit her finger and drew a talisman in the air. A blood-colored rune appeared between the two, turning into a whip and reaching for Qin Tian’s neck. Qin Tian didn’t have time to set up a formation and blocked it with his hand, immediately letting out a scream as blood flowed from his palm.
Qin Yanyan stepped forward, closing the distance, and engaged in close combat with Qin Tian.
Last night, Li Haoran had nothing to do and refined Qin Yanyan’s clothes from head to toe. Qin Yanyan’s clothes seemed light and fluttering, but they had actually become a suit of armor, difficult to penetrate at the Foundation Establishment stage.
Originally, Li Haoran had suggested that Qin Yanyan learn from him, shave her hair, and turn it into a wig, which would be effective in battle, but Qin Yanyan firmly refused.
Seeing the situation was not good, Mr. Mi was about to intervene, but Lu Yang flashed and held his wrist.
“Mr. Mi, do you have so little faith in the reincarnation of Sect Leader Qin?”
Qin Tian and Qin Yanyan quickly exchanged blows. Although Qin Tian’s formation was somewhat exquisite, he was not good at close combat. Under Qin Yanyan’s fierce attack, he gradually fell into a disadvantage.
Qin Yanyan was good at talismans, loved to follow her mother, and enjoyed close combat.
Qin Tian coughed up blood continuously, retreating again and again, his body trembling uncontrollably. His internal organs were all mixed up, which was the hidden force Qin Yanyan had hit into his body during the fight. Qin Tian pressed his palm against a tree, and the tree exploded, finally dissolving this strange hidden force.
“Who are you!” After a brief exchange, Qin Tian suffered a big loss. He didn’t expect that the combat power would be so different at the same stage of Foundation Establishment.
“Qin Yanyan.” Qin Yanyan coldly spat out her own name, without saying another word.
Seeing that Qin Yanyan still wanted to fight, Lu Yang sent her a message, telling her that there was a Divine Transformation stage hidden on the scene. If she continued to fight Qin Tian, this Divine Transformation stage might intervene.
Only then did Qin Yanyan stop, puffing up her cheeks and retreating to the back. Li Haoran kindly comforted his former daughter, telling her not to be so angry.
Meng Jingzhou sent a message to Qin Yanyan: “Niece, why did you give your real name? Didn’t we agree to give ourselves fake names?”
Last night, when discussing strategies, Lu Yang suggested that they should not use their real names and appearances when dealing with the Demon Sect, as it would easily leave troubles behind. Therefore, the four people standing in front of Mr. Mi today were all disguised and would not be seen through.”I was too angry just now and forgot.” Qin Yanyan was somewhat embarrassed. Her experience in the jianghu was insufficient, and she was easily swayed by her emotions.
Lu Yang looked at Qin Tian with a smile, “You claim to be the reincarnation of Sect Leader Qin, do you have any proof?”
Qin Tian, who had been shocked by Qin Yanyan, had lost all his previous arrogance, but he still stubbornly said, “I have achieved enlightenment in the cycle of reincarnation and recalled the clues to the treasure hidden in Ancient Huai Town.”
“Let me guess, could it be that you remembered that the place where Sect Leader Qin hid the treasure is related to the locust tree?”
Mr. Mi, Qin Tian, and the Divine Transformation cultivator behind Qin Tian were all taken aback.
How did the other party know this?
Could it be that the other party was really from the Heavenly Court Sect and had found the reincarnation of Sect Leader Qin?
Lu Yang’s lips curled up in a mysterious smile, causing the three of them to be filled with doubts.
This was actually easy to guess. If the Nine Nether Sect really knew where the treasure was, they would have sent someone to take it away long ago, instead of waiting until today.
The only explanation was that the Nine Nether Sect knew the clue, and the clue was quite vague.
What could the clue be, if not the locust tree?
Even if Lu Yang guessed wrong about the clue that the Nine Nether Sect had, the clue he mentioned was still true.
Seeing Qin Tian’s reaction, Lu Yang knew he had guessed correctly.
Mr. Mi was an old hand in the jianghu, his expression wouldn’t easily give him away, but Qin Tian was inexperienced, and his surprise was easily seen.
Mr. Mi feigned calmness, “This doesn’t prove anything. The most famous thing about Ancient Huai Town is the locust tree. If the clue isn’t related to the locust tree, is it related to a female ghost? Anyone could think of such a clue!”
“It seems that you only know this much about the clue.” Lu Yang shook his head regretfully, “I didn’t expect that the Nine Nether, which used to be on par with the Heavenly Court, has declined to this point.”
“I’ve said it before, our Heavenly Court Sect found the reincarnation of Sect Leader Qin, and we already know the location of the treasure from his mouth.”
“What?!”
