Chapter 4391
Welcome to Qi Jia Town!
Qi Yuankun, the esteemed founder of Qi Jia Town, was enjoying a quiet moment with a drink, eagerly awaiting the return of his son.
Recently, Qi Heng had achieved the Mahayana Realm, and Qi Yuankun couldn’t have been more thrilled. His son had become the youngest Mahayana Realm expert in the surrounding area!
The Qi family had gained a notable reputation throughout the Eastern Region, especially with the presence of Ning Zhi in their ranks!
Adding to their influence, Qi Jia Town had formed an alliance with the Demon Sealing Alliance, making them even more formidable—like a tiger with wings!
At this moment, Qi Yuankun felt that he had reached the pinnacle of his expansion!
Numerous smaller clans in the vicinity had been absorbed into Qi Jia Town!
Just as Qi Yuankun was humming a cheerful tune while sipping his wine, two cultivators, who had accompanied Qi Heng, burst in, clearly distressed!
“Lord Secretary! Lord Secretary! This is bad, this is bad…”
The two cultivators fell to their knees before Qi Yuankun, trembling in fear!
Qi Yuankun raised an eyebrow, concerned. “What’s going on? Why are you two so frightened?”
“Where is the young master?”
One of them gulped down his fear and reported, “Lord Secretary, the eldest young master has been killed…”
With a loud crash, the wine cup slipped from Qi Yuankun’s grip and shattered on the floor!
“What did you just say?” Qi Yuankun stood up, disbelief etched on his face!
“Lord Secretary, the eldest young master was murdered; his head was severed with a sword!”
The second cultivator chimed in urgently!
“This can’t be true, it’s impossible! There’s no way someone from Zhu Jia Town could have such skill,” Qi Yuankun insisted, unable to accept the news. He knew that Zhu Clan Town lacked any real experts!
His own son was a Mahayana Realm expert, while Zhu Yuanji of Zhu Family Town only reached the peak of the Ferrying Realm!
How could anyone from Zhu Clan Town possibly defeat his son with a single blow?
Suddenly, a thought struck Qi Yuankun. His eyes widened as he exclaimed, “Could it be the people from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect? Is it possible they have someone hiding in Zhu Jia Town?”
The only individuals capable of slaying a Mahayana Realm expert with a single sword strike would be from the notorious Ten Thousand Swords Sect!
However, this sect had been decimated, and its members were either dead or fleeing—who would dare remain in the Eastern Domain?
Qi Yuankun recalled that the Ten Thousand Swords Sect had ties with the Zhu Clan, but it was inconceivable that they would risk their lives to aid them.
After all, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect had crossed the Demon Sealing Alliance, and in the Eastern Region, the mere mention of the Alliance invoked fear and respect!
Every clan aspired to join the Demon Sealing Alliance, as it provided a substantial advantage, especially in an area where resources were scarce!
Nonetheless, not just any sect or force could gain acceptance; there were strict criteria!
The Ten Thousand Swords Sect had been dismissed by the Demon Sealing Alliance for their arrogance, leading to their ultimate destruction!
“Lord Secretary, it’s not the Ten Thousand Swords Sect; it’s… that Kai…”
One of the cultivators spoke up.
“Kai?”
Qi Yuankun frowned, the name sounded familiar, but he couldn’t place it right away!
“He’s the one who was hunted down by the Demon Sealing Alliance with a reward of a hundred years!”
The cultivator explained, panic evident in his voice!
Boom!
At this revelation, Qi Yuankun felt as if his head was spinning. He quickly asked, “What realm is this Kai in, that he could kill my son with a single sword strike?”
“Seventh level of the Transitional Abomination Realm…”
“You’ve got to be kidding me!” Qi Yuankun exploded in fury, kicking the cultivator away!
“Do you take me for a fool? A seventh-tier Transitional Realm cultivator killed my son with a single strike? Are you suggesting that my son, a Mahayana Realm expert, was weaker than a seventh-tier Transitional Realm?”
Qi Yuankun’s anger was palpable; it felt like a personal insult to his intelligence!
