The originally silent night instantly erupted into chaos.
The entire Qin family thought of the Great Xia Royal family pulling underhanded tricks upon hearing the news of the second young master's ambush. Filled with rage, they wielded their weapons, ready to hack the attacker into pieces.
Once they had seen Qin Hao, their anger reached its zenith.
There was actually such a callous person in the world, capable of gouging out the Supreme Bone of a mere five-year-old child. Not only was it an act of unfathomable cruelty, but it had also destroyed the hopes of the Qin Family.
'Even if their uncles could bear it, they couldn't!'
'Even if the aunties could, they still couldn't!'
But as soon as they had heard the identity of the assailant, their minds went blank in disbelief.
Qin Feng!!
'How could it be?!'
Everyone knew that the eldest young master was a respectful, scholarly and hardworking individual who exemplified excellence. He had shown a high degree of self-restraint from a young age and was the prime candidate for the successor of the next family head.
How could he commit such an abhorrent act, gouging out his own brother's Sovereign Bone?!
"Impossible! It's absolutely impossible!!"
Everyone shook their heads in vehement denial, refusing to entertain the notion that Qin Feng could be responsible for such a cruel act.
Despite Qin Feng's relentless bullying of Qin Hao, they had passed it off as the usual playfulness of a child. The bond between the two brothers was strong, making the happenings inconceivable. How could he ever commit such deeds?
"It's him! That evil child!"
Qin Tian's face twisted with a mix of anguish and fury, his body trembling uncontrollably. The once harmonious and beautiful family was destroyed by the Great Xia Royal family, tearing the father and son apart.
Qin Tian could only watch helplessly as his eight-year-old eldest son ventured into the world alone, unable to offer any assistance. Meanwhile, his five-year-old youngest son had to bear the pain of his bone being gouged out and suffer through the slow process of regrowth......
'How could he not be angry as a father?!'
"Pu......"
Unable to contain his emotions, a mouthful of blood was spat out of Qin Tian's lips.
As the head of the family, he shouldered great burdens that he couldn't share with anyone else. He had to persevere alone and continue moving forward.
"Family head!!"
The crowd that had gathered was stunned, finally accepting that Qin Feng was indeed responsible for this tragedy.
As the family head of the most prestigious family in Huang Gu, Qin Tian possessed a cultivation that was undetectably deep. However, even he had been angered to the point of coughing up blood, revealing to everyone the immense pain he was enduring.
Any parent wouldn't be able to endure such pain!
At this moment—
The voice of the second ancestor resounded through the Qin family, delivering his judgement. "Qin Feng, driven by jealousy, has committed the heinous act of extracting his younger brother's Sovereign Bones for his own benefit. He has shown no remorse for his grave sin and even injured the guards in his escape from the Qin family. As the second ancestor of the Qin family, I hereby announce his banishment and the bounty for his head, dead or alive!"
"Banishment? Dead or alive!!"
The crowd gasped in horror, their eyes turning towards the second ancestor.
With Qin Hao's Sovereign Bones already stolen and now the loss of Qin Feng, a child possessing the Qualities of God, how could the Qin family hope to achieve victory in this world that was embroiled in conflict?!
"The actions of this child have proven him unworthy of the title of the Qin family's disciple!"
The second ancestor struggled to control his trembling voice as he spoke, uttering the biggest lie he had ever told.
'If Qin Feng wasn't worthy, then who else would be deserving of being the Qin family's disciple?!'
At the same time—
The sun slowly crept over the horizon.
The clan's ancestors stood atop the high tower, sending off the distant figure of a child with their gazes.
Aside from the expectations of the entire Qin family, he had to go through great adversities as if dancing on the tip of a sharpened blade. One misstep could lead to ruin, plunging him into the depths of the abyss.
However, they had no way of helping him. Qin Feng had to bear these burdens on his young, fragile shoulders alone.
"This choice is far too cruel. He's only eight years old!"
Tears streamed down the face of the tenth ancestor, unable to hold back his emotions any longer.
As Qin Feng's great-grandfather and the one who had raised him, his attachment to the child far surpassed that of others, and watching this child fend for his life all alone, felt as agonising as a knife piercing his flesh.
"Even heroes of the past faced great adversities. Despite being only eight years old, his intelligence and cultivation are not comparable to those of his age."
The first ancestor stated firmly, his gaze fixed on the disappearing silhouette. He had a firm belief that this child would come back safely, bringing unmatched honour and glory to the Qin family.
"Don't worry, do not forget that his birth was accompanied by the blood moon!"
The comforting words of the second ancestor served as a reminder to everyone about the events that happened during Qin Feng's birth.
Eight years ago, the demonic blood moon had emerged, symbolising the chaos that was about to ensue in Huang Gu.
Quickly—
The tragedy that befell the Qin family quickly spread, leaving the world shocked.
The eldest young master of the Qin family, driven by envy of his younger brother's talent, had personally dug out his brother's Sovereign Bones. Showing no remorse, he was cast out from the family, and even a bounty was placed on his head throughout Huang Gu.
The news, carrying its shocking revelations, spread like a boulder thrown into tranquil waters, creating ripples through the entire Huang Gu.
It had naturally travelled into the Great Xia Emperor's ears, prompting him to summon his civil and military officials urgently.
"Is it true? Could it be a ploy of the Qin family?!"
"The news has been verified. The second child of the Qin family indeed had his Sovereign Bones forcibly taken, and Qin Tian, the family head, was so devastated that he coughed up blood."
"The eldest of the Qin family is truly ruthless, not even sparing his own blood."
"In the path of cultivation, the strong prey upon the weak, so what if it's his own blood-related brother?"
"With the two prodigies of the Qin family crippled and one escaping, this is truly a blessing from the heavens for Great Xia!"
"The Qin family no longer poses a threat. The war can now be avoided."
"The eldest of the Qin family is still alive and in possession of the Sovereign Bones. He still remains a threat. We must eliminate him to be safe."
"There is nothing to worry about. From the moment he had dug out the Sovereign Bones, he had cut off his path in reaching the peak."
"That's right. He had harboured doubts of his own strength, and his indomitable heart had been lost. He is no longer a concern."
"........."
Seated upon the throne, the Emperor felt as though he was dreaming.
He was still discussing with the officials yesterday how they could immediately defeat the Qin family. Never could they have imagined that the esteemed clan would collapse from within, their two prodigies falling from grace. While the Royal family continued to flourish, seemingly untouched by the turmoil.
"Haha, splendid! Splendid!"
The Great Xia Emperor burst into joyful laughter, his delight overwhelming him as he made plans for a celebration with one of his concubines.
At the same time—
Qin Feng was leisurely riding on a small donkey on the path headed towards the Yin Yue Dynasty.
"I've finally accumulated 1 million villain points!"
Looking at the 1,156,500 villain points displayed in the system menu, Qin Feng resolutely purchased the 100% Compatibility Rate Card.
"Ding dong! Congratulations to Master for purchasing the 100% Compatibility Rate Card with 1,000,000 villain points!"
"Ding dong! Congratulations to Master for using the 100% Compatibility Rate Card. You have achieved 100% compatibility with the 33-Day Creation Method!"
The familiar thunderous sensation reverberated in Qin Feng's mind, falling into an unconscious state. He could clearly feel a profound connection to the laws of the universe, their intricacies unfolding. The 33-Day Creation Method, which had once been partly veiled, now appeared to him with clarity.
The simple explanation was that his previous utilization of only 60% of his true strength had now reached 100%. It was accurate to say that his strength had grown by leaps and bounds.
"This is the 100% compatibility rate?!"
After he regained his senses, Qin Feng couldn't help but marvel as he finally experienced the joy of a Chosen One.
If given another opportunity to fight Lin San, he had faith that he could beat him without relying on the Sky-Splitting Sword Technique to the point where even his mother wouldn't recognize him. Of course, this was with the condition that Lin San hadn't experienced any fortuitous encounters during this time.
At this moment—
Villainous laughter could be heard from up ahead, interrupting Qin Feng's thoughts. "Little miss, don't be afraid. How about you let our friends here play with your body for a bit, and we'll let you go?!"
"Eh? A damsel in distress?!"
Qin Feng was taken aback, a smirk forming on his face. Was this an unexpected favour bestowed upon a villain like him?
