Chapter 18: Martial Ancestor Realm Expert

The Zhao Family residence, once luxurious, was now covered in blood, and its two massive doors were nowhere to be found.

Several corpses lay in front of the gate, their eyes wide open, presenting a truly terrifying sight.

The City Guards were surrounding the entire Zhao Family residence, preventing bystanders from watching.

"City Lord!" Seeing the City Lord approach, the City Guards immediately knelt on one knee.

The City Lord waved his hand, his entire attention focused on a single corpse; if he remembered correctly, this should be the corpse of an Elder of the Zhao Family.

During his lifetime, the strength of this Zhao Family Elder must have reached the Peak Martial Master Realm.

"Impressive!" After carefully examining the corpse, the City Lord exclaimed.

The body had been pierced through the heart from behind, a fatal blow in one strike. Clearly, the killer's strength was far superior to the victim's, leaving the Elder with no time to react at all.

"Where is the body of the Zhao Family Head?" the City Lord asked in a deep voice.

"My Lord, the body of the Zhao Family Head is inside." After speaking, he led the City Lord to the place where the Zhao Family Head had died.

"This!" The City Lord was stunned; the head of the Zhao Family Head appeared before him, half of it completely smashed.

"This is the Zhao Family Head?" The City Lord stepped forward quickly, carefully examining the corpse.

There were no wounds on the headless body, and the marks on the head indicated it had been struck by a fist.

"Martial Ancestor Realm!"

The City Lord exclaimed in shock, startling the old steward standing nearby.

"City Lord, are you saying this was done by a Martial Ancestor Realm expert?" the old steward asked in disbelief.

The City Lord nodded. "Only those in the Martial Ancestor Realm possess such strength, killing the Zhao Family Head with a single punch. Furthermore, this Martial Ancestor Realm expert is not an ordinary one; even within the Martial Ancestor Realm, this expert is an extraordinary existence."

The next morning, Qin Ming woke up. As soon as he pushed open his door, he saw his younger sister, Qin Qing, rushing toward him.

"Brother, something big happened in Liu City. Do you know about it?" Qin Qing looked at Qin Ming with her big eyes, her face full of smiles.

Qin Ming patted her head and asked, "What big event happened?"

"Do you know? The Zhao Family was wiped out! The entire Liu City is talking about this, and some people are even setting off firecrackers in the streets and alleys!"

Qin Qing said loudly; being able to share information that her brother didn't know made her quite excited.

"Really!" Qin Ming also played along, revealing a surprised expression. "With the Zhao Family wiped out, you must be the happiest one, right?"

"Yes! This way, I don't have to marry into the Zhao Family. However, so many people from the Zhao Family were killed; it's so tragic!"

Thinking of this, a look of sympathy appeared on her face.

He patted his sister's head; she was just so kind-hearted.

Even though the Zhao Family had bullied her like that, she still sympathized with their plight.

In this life, Qin Ming swore that he would protect the entire Family well.

"Hmph…" Remembering something, she suddenly snorted and said, "Zhao Kuo even hit you, Brother. Anyone who bullies you deserves to die; such people are not worthy of sympathy."

Qin Ming rubbed his nose, not expecting that his sister, who had just been full of sympathy, would become so…

"Brother, Father and the others are discussing something in the Council Hall, something about Medicinal Pills. Should we go over and listen?" Qin Qing asked.

"Hmm? Something about Medicinal Pills?" Qin Ming was stunned and asked, "What specifically is it about?"

Qin Qing waved her hand and said, "How would I know? I heard that the Zhao Family was wiped out and rushed over to tell you the news. When I passed by the Council Hall, I heard some Elders and Father discussing this matter. I don't know the specifics."

Qin Ming nodded. In his previous life, he had never cared about the Family's affairs and had always lived like a parasite, completely unaware of how much effort his father had put into maintaining the Family.

In this life, he would naturally help his father hold this Family together.

As a Pill God, wanting to develop the entire Qin Family was a simple matter.

"Let's go, let's take a look."
