Evacuate Chenyang City

Being defensive was not Qin Ming's style; he wanted to take the initiative and destroy the Scorpion Faction.

Therefore, settling the Qin Family was the top priority right now.

"Give up what?" Qin Yuan asked in confusion.

"Give up some worldly possessions." Qin Ming knew his father was obsessed with power, but they had to abandon Chenyang City now. "Father, we must go into seclusion and move the Qin Family from the light into the shadows."

"Alright, we'll do whatever you say," Qin Yuan said readily after a brief thought.

"Hmm?" Qin Ming, who had intended to continue persuading his father, hadn't expected him to agree so easily. For a moment, it felt somewhat unbelievable.

Didn't his father love power?

Ever since he became the Uncrowned King of Chenyang City, he had been extremely excited; Qin Ming had seen it all.

Seeing his son's surprised expression, Qin Yuan chuckled. "What? You think I was very straightforward?"

Qin Ming couldn't help but nod.

"My son is a Martial Emperor. What power could I not obtain in the future? Why would I care about a tiny Chenyang City?" Qin Yuan laughed. "Besides, the reason I liked power was for the sake of the Qin Family."

"Now that the Qin Family has you, I have absolute confidence in its future. A little bit of power is nothing; it doesn't matter!"

Qin Ming nodded in relief. Since his father was willing to give up Chenyang City, everything else would be easy to handle.

"Rest assured, Father. What we've lost, we will regain twofold," Qin Ming promised. "Moreover, isn't just Chenyang City a bit too small? What do you think about the Qian Continent?"

"The Qian Continent?" Qin Yuan looked at Qin Ming in confusion.

Qin Ming explained with a smile, "The place we are in now is just a small continent. The center of the world is the Yuan Continent. There are legends of Martial Deities there, Martial Gods appear from time to time, and there are even Martial Saints preaching the Dao and Martial Venerables debating combat; it is absolutely magnificent."

"And surrounding the Yuan Continent, there are many small continents. Our Qian Continent is just one of them."

"The world is that big? I really want to see it for myself." For the first time, Qin Yuan realized how colorful the world was, his eyes filled with longing and aspiration.

Qin Ming said solemnly, "Our enemies come from the Yuan Continent, so we must be extremely careful. One slight slip-up could lead to eternal damnation."

Qin Yuan clenched his fists and patted Qin Ming's shoulder. "Thank you for silently protecting the Qin Family for so long. Now, I'll do whatever you say. The Qin Family's future depends on you."

"Father." Qin Ming cupped his hands and said solemnly, "I will not fail your trust."

"Good." A relieved laugh erupted from Qin Yuan in the study… Early the next morning, Qin Yuan released the news that the Qin Family was moving out of Chenyang City.

Instantly, the entire Qin Family was in an uproar, and all of Chenyang City was filled with disbelief.

"Have you heard? The Qin Family plans to move out of Chenyang City." In a tavern in Chenyang City, an old man asked the Young Man beside him for confirmation.

The Young Man nodded. "That's right. I have a relative working for the Qin Family, and this news has been confirmed. I heard that both the Qin Family Head and the Young Master of the Qin Family gave the order at the same time. It's absolutely true."

"What do you think is going on? Chenyang City was doing fine under the Qin Family's leadership. Why would they just evacuate like that?" someone nearby chimed in.

Everyone shook their heads; they couldn't understand why the Qin Family, currently at the peak of its power in Chenyang City, would suddenly leave.

"Could it be the Shen Family of Stone City?"
