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

Mysterious PalaceA blue longsword flew in the air, emitting a strong Emperor’s Might; this was exactly Ling Fengzi’s Emperor Weapon, the blue profound sword.

”Wuji Sword Technique!” Ling Fengzi shouted.

The Emperor Weapon blue profound sword buzzed and vibrated several times as Wuji Sword Qi enveloped the blade. It was sharp and powerful, as if it were about to tear through space.

Then, the blue profound sword shot out at an extremely high speed.

Seeing this, Spiritual Qi surged within the Water Dragon Turtle, and a soaring Aura radiated from it, making the air grow heavy.

”Water Dragon Heaven Breaker!”

A blue water dragon formed and spiraled in the air. Containing terrifying energy, it suddenly charged forward.

There was a loud explosion.

Ling Fengzi was seen flying out of the arena like a kite with a broken string, crashing onto the ground in the distance.

Hiss!

Seeing this scene, everyone’s faces were filled with shock. They took deep breaths and began to speak one after another.

”This... Ling Fengzi actually lost to the Water Dragon Turtle.”

”Indeed, even Ling Fengzi, who is at the Martial Emperor Third Level, has been defeated. This Water Dragon Turtle’s strength is truly formidable.”

”In addition to a powerhouse like Qin Yi, the Qin Family now has another Martial Emperor Third Level in the Water Dragon Turtle.”

Shangguan Yun’s face looked grim. He thought the Spirit Stone mine was within his reach, but it was gone just like that.

At the same time, his heart ached as if it were bleeding; he had wasted two hundred thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones for nothing.

Han Xing snapped out of his shock and said, ”The final winner of this match is the Qin Family. I announce that the High-Grade Spirit Stone mine belongs to the Qin Family.”

Instantly, a wave of congratulations erupted at the scene, with everyone saying:

”Congratulations, Patriarch Qin! Now that the Qin Family has obtained the High-Grade Spirit Stone mine, their overall strength will surely improve in the future.”

”The Qin Family has many powerhouses. I am completely convinced that the Spirit Stone mine should belong to them.”

”...”

Qin Yi cupped his hands and replied, ”You are all too kind!”

A short while later.

Han Xing led Qin Yi to the front of the High-Grade Spirit Stone mine. The entrance was blocked by a massive green rock, and a rich Spiritual Qi emanated from within.

Han Xing smiled slightly and reminded him, ”Patriarch Qin, there are social Yao Beasts called Human-Faced Demonic Spiders inside this mine. However, the strongest among them is only at the Martial Emperor Third Level, so they are no match for you at all.”

Qin Yi nodded and said, ”Thank you for informing me, City Lord Han.”

Han Xing nodded and said, ”This Spirit Stone mine is now in the hands of the Qin Family. If there’s nothing else, I shall take my leave.”

Then, Han Xing turned into a streak of light and flew away.

Qin Yi said in a deep voice, ”Water Dragon Turtle, go inform the Grand Elder and have him send people over to mine the Spirit Stones. I’ll go inside first to clear out the Yao Beasts.”

The Water Dragon Turtle replied, ”Alright, be careful when you go in.”

Subsequently, the Water Dragon Turtle’s figure flickered as it rushed back to the Qin Family.

”Boom.”

Qin Yi threw a punch, shattering the massive green rock at the cave entrance.

Entering the cave, a rich Spiritual Qi assailed his senses. Spirit Stones were clustered within the cave walls, emitting a bright white light that made the entire cave incredibly bright.

The paths inside the cave led in all directions. Qin Yi headed straight for the central path to search for the Human-Faced Demonic Spiders.

Before long.

Thud, thud, thud! Several heavy footsteps echoed as dozens of Human-Faced Demonic Spiders appeared ahead. The three leading them were at the Martial Emperor Realm, and their sizes were enormous.

At the same time, dense clusters of Human-Faced Demonic Spiders appeared on the cave walls on both sides.

The leading Human-Faced Demonic Spider, at the Martial Emperor Second Level, said in a low voice, ”Human powerhouse, this mine is the territory of us Human-Faced Demonic Spiders. Leave at once.”

Whether it was because it sensed the powerful Aura on Qin Yi or for some other reason, the leading Human-Faced Demonic Spider was unwilling to engage in combat with him.

Qin Yi snorted coldly. ”This Spirit Stone mine now belongs to my Qin Family. You spiders can stop dreaming about occupying this place.”

”If you’re smart, you’ll leave this place quietly, and I might just spare your lives. Otherwise...”

As he finished speaking, a strong killing intent erupted from Qin Yi.

Hearing this, the Human-Faced Demonic Spider looked furious and commanded, ”Minions, kill this ungrateful human for me.”

Upon receiving the command, the two Martial Emperor First Level demonic spiders beside it were the first to launch an attack.

Immediately after, the demonic spiders on the stone walls also charged toward Qin Yi.

Qin Yi sneered as his Aura exploded, and a Desolate Giant Palm slammed down directly.

With a loud explosion, the giant palm fell, and the cave shook.

The two Martial Emperor Realm Human-Faced Demonic Spiders in front were instantly crushed to death, and the bodies of the demonic spiders on the walls were shattered by the shockwave, their life forces dissipating.

The remaining Martial Emperor Second Level Human-Faced Demonic Spider looked terrified. Its massive body trembled violently as it hurriedly turned and fled toward the back.

”Boom.” How could Qin Yi let it escape? He threw a punch.

Bang!

The Human-Faced Demonic Spider was hit and collapsed onto the ground, its life force gone.

Qin Yi continued to head deeper, searching for that Martial Emperor Third Level Human-Faced Demonic Spider.

Soon, a palace built of Spirit Stones appeared before Qin Yi’s eyes, its exterior emitting a dazzling light.

In front of the palace, there were about four hundred Human-Faced Demonic Spiders guarding it, with the highest cultivation being only at the Martial Saint Ninth Level Realm.

One of the Human-Faced Demonic Spiders shouted, ”Human powerhouse, this place is off-limits. Leave at once.”

Instantly, all the demonic spiders went on high alert to prevent Qin Yi from entering the palace.

Qin Yi shouted, ”Great Desolation Palm!”

The Desolate Giant Palm, carrying immense energy, slammed down, instantly crushing these Human-Faced Demonic Spiders into powder.

The massive explosion caused the Spirit Stone palace to vibrate, and it began to teeter.

At this moment, a Martial Emperor Third Level Human-Faced Demonic Spider flew out from within. Its eyes were filled with rage, and its Aura was chaotic.

”Human powerhouse, how dare you disturb my Breakthrough! I will settle this score with you later.”

Seeing Qin Yi’s powerful Aura and feeling its own unstable state, the Human-Faced Demonic Spider headed straight for a nearby cave opening to escape.

”Boom.”

A Desolate Giant Palm quickly attacked, striking the Human-Faced Demonic Spider heavily.

Instantly, the Human-Faced Demonic Spider’s body was sent flying and crashed onto the ground.

Rumble!

The ground where the Human-Faced Demonic Spider lay began to crack, and a large opening appeared, through which the spider’s body fell directly.

Qin Yi’s figure moved, and he arrived at the edge of the crack to observe the situation inside.

It was pitch black below, appearing bottomless.

”What exactly is down there?” Qin Yi muttered to himself with a puzzled expression.

After a moment, Qin Yi leaped and jumped down.

As Qin Yi’s body was in the air, a ball of light appeared in his hand, and the pitch-black space became bright.

Qin Yi saw the layout of the place clearly; it was a massive cavern, and some buildings could be vaguely seen below.

An ancient and oppressive Aura filled the air. Qin Yi’s gaze turned solemn, and he had a faint, foreboding feeling.

”What on earth is down here? The Aura in the air makes my skin crawl,” Qin Yi said in a low voice.

Nevertheless, Qin Yi decided to investigate further and flew toward the bottom.

The deeper he went, the stronger the oppressive Aura became.

Before long, Qin Yi reached the bottom. The Human-Faced Demonic Spider from earlier was lying on the ground nearby, its life force gone.

Directly ahead was a magnificent palace, and Qin Yi walked toward it.

As he reached the front, Qin Yi instantly felt an invisible pressure on his chest. That ancient and oppressive Aura was indeed coming from within the palace.

Seeing the writing on the palace, Qin Yi’s eyes narrowed sharply, and his pupils dilated instantly.

”Divine Qi permeates the universe; Demonic Might suppresses heaven and earth.”

It was inscribed with the words: Lord of Gods and Demons.
