Chapter 168: Was the Qin Family Destroyed?

Since Qin Ming said he could deal with the Sima Family, then he definitely could.

If he said the Sima Family wasn't an issue, then the Sima Family definitely wasn't an issue!

Therefore, Elder Qing wasn't worried at all; if it weren't for the Qin Family Head's warm invitation, he wouldn't even have attended this assembly.

Now, things had taken a turn; in a moment of inattention, he had received such a grand gesture of respect. How was he supposed to explain this to Qin Ming?

While Elder Qing was fretting, a youth dressed in black rushed in.

"Family Head, Family Head! Great news, wonderful news!" the black-clad youth shouted as he entered.

"Huzi, tell us quickly, what is this great news?" Qin Yuan, who had been helped up by Elder Qing, asked hurriedly.

The other Qin Family Members also stood up, all staring at the youth in black who had just arrived.

"The Sima Family has been destroyed! Our Qin Family is safe, our Qin Family is safe!"

The youth named Huzi danced with joy as he spoke.

The Qin Family is safe?

For a moment, the Qin Family Members present couldn't process the news.

Qin Yuan said with an excited expression:

"Huzi, tell us in detail. What exactly happened?"

Huzi said hastily:

"The Sima Family offended a Martial Spirit Expert. Now the entire Family has been wiped out, and all the Elders are dead."

"The Sima Family Head is also dead. The Sima Family is finished."

The Sima Family was destroyed?

"Yay! The Sima Family has suffered divine retribution!" Qin Qing suddenly jumped up and cheered loudly.

Suddenly, everyone in the Qin Family realized what had happened and began jumping for joy.

"Ah! The heavens have not forsaken our Qin Family! The Sima Family's destruction is good riddance, good riddance!"

"The Qin Family is safe! We don't have to die!"

The jubilant voices of the Qin Family echoed throughout the entire residence and even reached beyond the City Lord's Mansion.

The Qin Family Martial Artists standing at the entrance looked at each other and began to inquire about the news.

Once they received confirmation, they too erupted in excitement. Thus, the entire Qin Family was filled with deafening sounds of laughter and joy.

In the Liu City Wang Family, the Wang Family Head sat in his chair, calmly watching the lake before him.

Ever since he had been crippled, he had grown fond of this lake.

Just then, a man walked in hurriedly.

In this courtyard, only one person could enter freely without announcement—his son.

"Xuan'er, how many times have I told you? No matter what happens, you must maintain your composure. Look at how erratic your breathing has become."

The Wang Family Head watched the lake, speaking without turning his head.

"Yes, Father!" the man said respectfully.

"This lake is so beautiful, but it's a pity the Qin Family won't be able to see it anymore."

"The Qin Family! They rose too quickly. Occupying Liu City without a proper foundation—if they weren't destroyed, who would be?"

The Wang Family Head sighed several times before turning around to look at his son. "Was the Qin Family destroyed?"

The man's expression was grim as he said, "Father, the Qin Family wasn't destroyed. The Sima Family was."

"What? The Sima Family was destroyed?"

"How is that possible? The Sima Family has a Martial Ancestor Expert. Who could possibly destroy them?"

The Wang Family Head asked in disbelief.

The man recounted the information he had received bit by bit.

The more he spoke, the worse the Wang Family Head's expression became. By the time he finished, the Wang Family Head's face was deathly pale and his body was trembling, his previous calm demeanor completely gone.

"Fa… Father, are you alright?"

The man looked at the Wang Family Head's state and asked nervously.

The Wang Family Head sighed deeply, leaned back in his chair, and waved his hand weakly, saying:

"I truly cannot see through the Qin Family, I just can't see through them!"

"Could it be that the Qin Family is favored by the heavens?"

"Xuan'er, pack your things. We're preparing to flee!"

Having said that, the Wang Family Head took one last lingering look at the lake.
