The domineering Shen family

"Afterwards, once Shen Ba saw the King-rank Magical Beast, he immediately apologized to our Qin Family with a very sincere attitude," the Elder in the white robe said.

Qin Ming nodded: "If Shen Ba was still arrogant after seeing a King-rank Magical Beast, he would probably be insane."

Everyone fears death, and presumably Shen Ba is no different. If he dared to remain arrogant after seeing the King-rank Magical Beast, we could immediately teach him a lesson.

"However," the Elder in the white robe shook his head and said, "if that had been the end of it, it wouldn't have caused panic throughout the entire city."

"After learning the fact that our Qin Family possesses a King-rank Magical Beast, many unfamiliar Martial Artists appeared within Chenyang City."

"Young Master Qin should also know that the entire Chenyang City is the Qin Family's territory. As long as any unfamiliar Martial Artist enters Chenyang City, they are immediately placed under surveillance."

"After killing many scouts in succession, when the Shen Family couldn't determine our specific strength, they began to probe us."

Qin Ming nodded. Given the Shen Family's overbearing nature, it was normal for them to develop greed upon seeing a King-rank Magical Beast.

But once a King-rank Magical Beast is tamed, it cannot be transferred. Why would the Shen Family still covet it?

The Elder in the white robe continued: "Because our control over Chenyang City was airtight, the Shen Family had no way to gather information. Consequently, the Martial Artists sent by the Shen Family became increasingly powerful, and they even dispatched a Martial Spirit Expert."

"Our Qin Family has no Martial Spirit, so two members of the Qin Family were immediately abducted."

"The Shen Family then learned how we obtained the King-rank Magical Beast, and also found out that you, Young Master, had left the Qin Family."

"Are those two Qin Family disciples alright?" Qin Ming asked with concern.

"They are fine," the Elder in the white robe shook his head and said. "After obtaining specific intelligence about the King-rank Magical Beast, we thought the Shen Family would give up. After all, a King-rank Magical Beast cannot be transferred once it has been tamed."

"Who knew that the Shen Family would send people directly, wanting our Qin Family to become their vassal Family? We naturally disagreed, and with that, the people sent by the Shen Family left in a huff."

"Later, rumors spread throughout all of Chenyang City, claiming that the Shen Family wanted to massacre the entire city, using the whole of Chenyang City to pressure us."

"How shameless!" Qin Ming said indignantly. "I was wondering why many Chenyang City residents were cursing our Qin Family on the streets. So that's why; these people can't defeat the Shen Family, so they think it's our Qin Family that harmed them."

A short-sleeved Elder stood up and angrily said: "Exactly! These people are truly ungrateful. When has our Qin Family ever treated them poorly over these years?"

"Now, with just a casual threat from the Shen Family, these people run to the Qin Family to act as lobbyists, wanting our Qin Family to become a vassal of the Shen Family so they can avoid disaster."

Qin Ming didn't say anything. He also knew that these ordinary people would definitely be very panicked after hearing that the Shen Family intended to massacre the city.

What annoyed Qin Ming was that it would be one thing if they were just panicked, but they were blaming everything on the Qin Family.

It was the Shen Family threatening them, not the Qin Family saying they wanted to massacre the city.

They dare not hold a grudge against the Shen Family, yet they speak rudely to the Qin Family—isn't it just because they think the Qin Family is easy to bully?

Qin Ming had not expected this. He had originally wanted to have the King-rank Magical Beast stay at the Qin Family to provide a guarantee for the Qin Family.

Now, some blind fools had actually come to rob them, causing the Qin Family to suffer an unprovoked disaster.

It was also that Qin Ming himself hadn't thought it through; for him, a King-rank Magical Beast was nothing.

Moreover, a King-rank Magical Beast cannot be transferred, and others simply cannot take it away; this was the reason Qin Ming had been at ease.
