Chapter 342: Reaction of Chenyang City

"The Qin Family…" The old man laughed miserably, never expecting that the ones coming would be the Qin Family.

They had always been on good terms with the Qu Family. Without the Qin Family, they were the strongest Power in Chenyang City, so they hadn't cared about the Qin Family's invitation.

He never imagined that the Qin Family's revenge would come so quickly and so ruthlessly.

These youths were all experts at the Martial Ancestor Realm. If he had known the Qin Family possessed such a Power, he would have attended the Qin Family's invitation even if it killed him.

Unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret now.

"Ugh…" A Huayu Sect Disciple pierced the old man's throat with a sword, ending his life while he was still full of regret.

"Sect Master, the Qu Family has been completely wiped out. These are the Qu Family's belongings," a Huayu Sect Disciple said, holding a ring high and handing it to Qin Ming.

Qin Ming nodded and did not take the ring. "Divide it among yourselves. We're going to the next house."

In this manner, Qin Ming took these Disciples and destroyed three families in Chenyang City that day. None of these three families had attended the previous night's banquet.

After the killings, Qin Ming separated from the Disciples and returned to the Qin Family to report to his father.

The destruction of these families was quickly known throughout Chenyang City. The entire city was pale with shock and abuzz with discussion regarding the extermination of these three families.

Chenyang City was truly plagued with disasters lately. First, the Sima Family offended a mysterious Martial Spirit Expert, and the entire Sima Family was wiped clean.

Then the shops of the Qu Family and Zhang Family were robbed, leaving the people of Chenyang City in a state of panic.

Following that, the Zhang Family Head was murdered by the Qu Family Head, and the Qu Family Head was also killed by a thief; both families suffered a bloody calamity.

Fortunately, the Qin Family Head stepped in, killed the thief, and saved the entire Chenyang City from its crisis.

And now, three more Family heads had been killed. Chenyang City, already precarious like a flickering flame in the wind, fell into even deeper panic.

Those who died were all from great families; the lives of commoners like them couldn't compare to these great families.

Since even the great families were being exterminated, how could they not worry? In a hidden basement in Chenyang City, three people sat around a table, drinking tea and discussing today's events.

"Those three families were the ones that didn't attend the Qin Family's banquet, and now they've been wiped out!" A Balding Middle-aged Man said, his hands trembling as he drank his tea. "Luckily I attended the Qin Family's banquet, otherwise you probably wouldn't be seeing me right now."

"The Qin Family shouldn't be the ones who killed those three families, right? Isn't it rumored in the city that they were killed by Bandits?" A Young Man said dismissively.

A Long-haired Middle-aged Man sitting nearby was about to drink his tea when he heard this and retorted, "I think it's likely the Qin Family. Otherwise, why is it such a coincidence that these three families were exterminated just because they didn't attend the Qin Family's banquet?"

The Young Man said, "Does the Qin Family have that kind of strength? Those three families had quite a few Great Martial Masters. Moreover, I saw the Qin Family Head today; he didn't even step out of the Qin Family's main gate. If that's the case, how could those families have been destroyed by the Qin Family?"

This Young Man had clearly done his investigation; he knew exactly where Qin Yuan was today. He also knew that the Qin Family was originally a Family from Liu City and had no foundation. If the Qin Family Head didn't act, how could they possibly destroy those three families?

"Whether it's the Qin Family or not is no longer important," the Balding Middle-aged Man said. "The Juyun City Zhang Family will be coming to Chenyang City soon. There will be another struggle then; we just need to wait and watch the show."

The others all nodded. The arrival of the Juyun City Zhang Family was a good thing for them. If the Qin Family were the only ones with a Martial Ancestor Expert, then the entire Chenyang City would belong to the Qin Family, and they would have no hope at all.

They didn't want a chaotic Chenyang City, as chaos meant danger for families like theirs, and the shops in Chenyang City would also be affected.

Even more so, they didn't want anyone to occupy the entire Chenyang City. If the Qin Family became the overlord and completely controlled Chenyang City, they would likely have their shops cleared out by the Qin Family. With interests redistributed, they would only be left with the scraps left behind by the Qin Family.

"Knock, knock…" A series of hurried knocks sounded, and the hearts of everyone present tightened.

They were in a secret room that very few people knew about. Unless it was something important, servants would not disturb them at will.
