I Started As the Qin Family Patriarch and Was Bound to the Selection System

The Great Yan Kingdom was shakenAt the same time, the news of Qin Yi killing the Qingyun Sect’s Martial King Elder spread throughout the entire Great Yan Kingdom as if it had grown wings.

The Prefectural Governors Mansion of Mingyue Prefecture.

The Prefectural Governor’s face was solemn as he spoke in disbelief, ”Is Qin Yi’s strength truly that formidable? Doesn’t that mean he could even kill me?”

The Prefectural Governor’s cultivation was at the same level as Third Elder’s, both at the fifth level of the Martial King Realm.

When Li Mo returned earlier and told him that the Aura on Qin Yi’s body was unfathomable, the Prefectural Governor hadn’t paid much attention to it at the time.

Li Mo spoke up, ”Lord Prefectural Governor, Qin Yi is powerful, and the overall strength of the Qin Family is not weak either, but they have completely offended the Qingyun Sect.”

”The Qingyun Sect is overseen by a Martial Emperor Ancestor. With the strength Qin Yi has displayed so far, he is still no match for a Martial Emperor Expert.”

The Prefectural Governor shook his head and said, ”Since Qin Yi dared to kill an Elder of the Qingyun Sect, he must have his own source of confidence. I don’t believe a Martial King Expert would be that stupid.”

Li Mo looked worried. ”Lord Prefectural Governor, if we allow the Qin Family to continue developing, it will be detrimental to our Prefectural Governors Mansion.”

”Should we seek help from the Imperial Family to suppress the development of the Qin Family?”

The Prefectural Governor waved his hand and said, ”No need. The Imperial Family must have known for a long time. Let the Qin Family and the Qingyun Sect fight it out like two tigers first.”

”Even if the Qin Family wants to grow powerful, the Imperial Family won’t allow it. We just need to mind our own business.”

When the Qin Family’s strength became enough to threaten the Imperial Family, the Imperial Family would naturally step in to stop them; they didn’t want an unstable factor existing within the Great Yan Kingdom.

As the Prefectural Governors Mansion, they only needed to manage the affairs of their prefecture; the Imperial Family would take care of everything else.

In the great hall of the Qingyun Sect, the atmosphere was tense and extremely oppressive.

The Second Elder’s eyes were filled with fury, his veins bulging as he suddenly stood up. ”Qin Yi actually dares to kill an Elder of my Qingyun Sect! I will take people and wipe out the Qin Family right now!”

Blue-robed Lan Qing, the Sect Master of the Qingyun Sect, sat above with a dark face. His steady voice rang out, ”Second Elder, calm down. Since Qin Yi could kill the Third Elder, his strength must be quite high. This time, I will personally go to the Qin Family.”

According to reports, Qin Yi’s cultivation was at the sixth level of the Martial King Realm at the time. The Second Elder was also at the sixth level of the Martial King Realm, so he might not necessarily be able to take down Qin Yi if he went.

The Qingyun Sect’s Sect Master’s cultivation had already reached the Ninth Level of Martial King; killing Qin Yi would be as easy as lifting a finger.

Grand Elder Lan Ling’s eyes were gloomy as he said ruthlessly, ”With the Sect Master going, success is guaranteed. Since he dared to kill an Elder of our Qingyun Sect, we must make Qin Yi pay the price of his entire clan being exterminated.”

The Second Elder also chimed in angrily, ”Yes, the Qin Family must be wiped out, otherwise my Qingyun Sect will become the laughingstock of the Great Yan Kingdom.”

In the Imperial Palace, within a magnificent hall, a middle-aged man wearing dragon robes sat at a desk.

This was the ruler of the Great Yan Kingdom, Li Chenyu, who possessed a cultivation at the first level of the Martial Emperor Realm.

Li Chenyu’s voice, which carried a natural authority, rang out, ”Shadow One, go and investigate the Qin Family to see what secrets they are hiding.”

”Yes.” A dark shadow flickered behind him.

”Interesting. A small Family actually possesses Martial King level strength. I wonder what secrets they hold.”

Meanwhile, other forces within the Great Yan Kingdom also received the news of Qin Yi killing the Third Elder of the Qingyun Sect.

They were all deeply shocked. One must know that a Martial King Expert was a major figure in the Great Yan Kingdom, let alone the Third Elder of the Qingyun Sect.

The fact that she was now killed by the head of a small Family was truly incredible.

At the same time, they also sent out spies to investigate the true situation of the Qin Family.

A month later, under the deterrent effect of Qin Yi killing the Martial King Elder, the development of the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce faced no obstacles and had already spread to the surrounding cities.

Now that the day the Yunmeng Ruins would open was not far away, Qin Yi prepared to lead the Hidden Guards to the Yunmeng Ruins.

Qin Yi spoke, ”Grand Elder, this is the Formation Plate for the Star Formation Grand Array. it is capable of killing a Martial Emperor Expert.”

With the Star Formation Plate in hand, the safety of the Qin Family could be guaranteed during the time Qin Yi was away.

Qin Shan took the Formation Plate, his face beaming with a joyful smile as he said excitedly, ”Clan Chief, with the Star Formation Grand Array, even if Ancestor Qingyun comes, I will be able to kill him.”

Now that Qin Yi had killed the Third Elder of the Qingyun Sect, given the character of the people in the Qingyun Sect, it was impossible for them to remain indifferent.

With the Star Formation Grand Array in hand, they had no fear of the Qingyun Sect at all.

Qin Yi nodded and said, ”While I am away from the Family, I’ll have to trouble the Grand Elder.”

Qin Shan’s face was resolute. ”Rest assured, Clan Chief, I will definitely manage the affairs of the Qin Family well.”

Subsequently, Qin Yi took ten Martial Spirit Realm Hidden Guards and Qin Shi, a Cultivator at the seventh level of the Martial King Realm, to the Yunmeng Ruins together.

The other two seventh level Martial King Cultivators were currently assigned to guard the Tianyun Chamber of Commerce.

The Yunmeng Ruins were located at the junction of three prefectures and were the ruins of a Martial Emperor Expert.

Whenever the ruins opened, it would draw various forces from the Great Yan Kingdom, as a Martial Emperor Expert was already at the ceiling of combat power in the Great Yan Kingdom.

Ten days later, on a broad road, Qin Yi and his companions were galloping on third-tier Demonic Beasts, Flame Horses.

Since the Hidden Guards’ cultivation was only at the Martial Spirit Realm and they could not yet fly through the air, Qin Yi and the others could only ride Demonic Beasts to get there.

A third-tier Demonic Beast was equivalent to the Great Martial Master Realm of a human Cultivator and was already considered a decent Demonic Beast, not something an ordinary person could ride.

Qin Shi spoke, ”Clan Chief, ahead is Black Stone City, the city closest to the Yunmeng Ruins.”

Qin Yi nodded and said, ”Let’s go, hurry up. We’ll have a good rest once we’re in the city.”

”Hyah!”

After ten days of continuous travel, everyone was somewhat exhausted.

Soon, a magnificent and grand city wall appeared before Qin Yi and the others. There was a lot of foot traffic outside the city, with Cultivators from all directions entering the city one after another.

Looking at the towering city wall, Qin Yi lamented, ”As expected of a major city, its prosperity far exceeds that of Mo City.”

”Let’s go, we’re entering the city.”

Qin Yi and his group’s mounts were third-tier Demonic Beasts, emitting a powerful Aura, causing some Cultivators to clear a path in the middle.

The guards on duty looked at the backs of Qin Yi and his group and said enviously, ”I wonder which great power that is.”

With the Yunmeng Ruins about to open, people from various forces had arrived at Black Cloud City early on.

Inside the city, various buildings stood tall, people came and went on the streets, and many vendors set up stalls on both sides.

The shouting of vendors, the bargaining of Cultivators, and the conversations between people formed a very lively scene.

At the same time, there were also some guard squads constantly patrolling to prevent any Cultivators from causing trouble.

Recently, many big figures had come to Black Cloud City. If someone without eyes provoked them, they would just die, but they shouldn’t involve Black Cloud City.

Qin Yi and the others rode their Flame Horses, emitting a powerful Aura, which quickly attracted the attention of some Cultivators.

At this moment, a young man dressed in luxurious silk clothes embroidered with exquisite patterns and possessing an imposing manner walked over.

Behind him followed guards in armor, their Aura extraordinary.

”Clang!”

The Hidden Guards’ eyes turned sharp, and the Brocade Sabers in their hands were already unsheathed. If the young man took one more step forward, they would not hesitate to strike.

Seeing this, the young man stopped advancing, gave a hearty laugh, and began to introduce himself, ”Patriarch Qin, I have heard of your great name for a long time. I am the Crown Prince of the Great Yan Kingdom, Li Xing.”

It was not surprising at all that Li Xing could recognize Qin Yi. For the Imperial Family, it was very easy to collect information on Qin Yi’s appearance and characteristics.
