A moment later.

The Qin Family's elderly woman, along with the family prodigy Qin Zhen, both stood bloodied in front of Ye Chen and He Dong.

Besides them.

A middle-aged man exuding authority led a group of armored soldiers to the scene.

Qu Xiao stepped forward and called out, "Father."

It was obvious.

Leading the group was none other than Prefect Qu Changfeng of Unrivaled County.

Qu Changfeng approached He Dong, bowed, and said, "Teacher."

Ye Chen was astonished in his heart.

Qu Changfeng was also a member of the Star Martial System of Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, and He Dong's disciple...

He Dong nodded his head.

Ye Chen also cupped his fists toward Qu Changfeng and said, "Greetings, Prefect."

Qu Changfeng's gaze swept over Ye Chen, full of admiration.

The ignored Qin Family's elderly woman and Qin Zhen felt immense discomfort in their hearts!

The Qin Family, a prestigious aristocratic lineage in the Great Zhou Dynasty, was treated with utmost respect and fear wherever they went.

But today?

Qin Zhen had an arm severed by Ye Chen.

The elderly woman was injured by Ye Chen, left with a crippled hand, and then gravely injured by a casual attack from He Dong.

Now.

They were completely ignored!

"Vice Dean He, Qu Changfeng, don't assume you can trample on the dignity of the Qin Family just because our roots aren't here. The matter the Qin Family is dealing with this time, Unrivaled County and Cangxing Martial Arts Academy must account for it!

Otherwise, the Qin Family will not let it rest!"

The elderly woman shouted loudly.

Qu Changfeng looked at He Dong, seeking his opinion.

He Dong chuckled lightly, saying, "The Qin Family is quite imposing indeed. If the Qin Family won't let it rest, then do as you please. Dean Ouyang asked me to convey a message: if you want to take action, bring it on. Cangxing Martial Arts Academy doesn't mind using the Qin Family for practice."

These words were spoken very casually.

But the elderly woman of the Qin Family felt severe discomfort upon hearing it, and the anger mixed with fear made her reluctant to use the Qin Family's name for further threats.

The Cangxing Martial Arts Academy of today is completely different from the past.

The Legendary Yang Tianji at Lingyun Mountain single-handedly battled the Great Qin Dynasty, Great Ming Dynasty, and Great Shang Dynasty, a total of four legends...

The cunning Ouyang Shang has also stepped into the Legendary Realm, repelling the Blood Cloud Ancestor who nearly brought chaos to the Great Zhou Dynasty decades ago!

Additionally.

The Heaven-Shocking Swordsman Liu Mubai returned to reclaim the Shocking God Sword, and based on some covert information, Liu Mubai, who is already capable of slaying legends alone, is close to stepping into the Legendary realm...

The Qin Family has stood undaunted in the Great Zhou Dynasty for a thousand years, possessing deep foundation... but if they wage war with Cangxing Martial Arts Academy... the Qin Family would meet an ugly end!

Originally.

The Qin Family wanted to capture Ye Chen for investigation, but didn't dare to demand him from Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, considering this very reason. They planned to capture Ye Chen first, use the Soul-Searching Secret Technique to extract the truth, and then hold a justified claim, leaving Cangxing Martial Arts Academy with no room to argue.

But the plan failed; even Vice Dean He Dong came forward... and he represented Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, stating they wouldn't hesitate to confront the Qin Family...

"He Dong, your Cangxing Martial Arts Academy is indeed powerful now, but don't be so unreasonable. Ye Chen did kill our Qin Family member, this matter must be thoroughly investigated!" The Qin Family's elderly woman, hollow with bravado, had lost her previous assertiveness in her words.

Qu Changfeng looked at the elderly woman of the Qin Family and said, "Since your Qin Family wants a thorough investigation, there is naturally no problem. But you've already decided that Ye Chen is the killer, isn't it your Qin Family that's being unreasonable?"

The elderly woman of the Qin Family's face changed, and she said, "Qu Changfeng, don't forget your identity. You are the Prefect of Unrivaled County, not a student of Cangxing Martial Arts Academy anymore!"

Qu Changfeng sternly said, "I know exactly what I'm doing, and I don't need you to remind me. Without concrete evidence, the Prefect's Mansion will not sit idly by if the Qin Family dares to harm a hair on Ye Chen!"

"It's simple to get evidence. Let Ye Chen accept the Soul-Searching Technique from our Qin Family; the truth will be revealed then!" shouted the Qin Family's elderly woman.

At this point.

Ye Chen stepped forward, sneered, and said, "Yes, I killed them."

Anyway, He Dong said Ouyang Shang had already handled it, so there was nothing to worry about.

The elderly woman of the Qin Family and Qin Zhen were both shocked and overjoyed!

If it continued like this, they wouldn't have a way to handle Ye Chen, but Ye Chen confessed himself, which made everything much easier.

Qu Changfeng and Qu Xiao both looked at Ye Chen, full of confusion.

Regardless of whether he did it or not, denying would have sufficed... yet Ye Chen admitted it...

Qin Zhen excitedly shouted, "Vice Dean He, Qu Changfeng, since Ye Chen has confessed, I assume you have nothing more to say? We must take Ye Chen back to the Qin Family to face our trial!"

Ye Chen sneered, "Qin Family's trial? What right does the Qin Family have to judge me? Besides, can the two of you even take me away while I'm here?!"

Qin Zhen's face turned pale, and under Ye Chen's gaze, he felt a sense of dread. Previously, he believed he could suppress Ye Chen, but if it weren't for his grandaunt's intervention, he would have died under Ye Chen's sword...

Even his grandaunt was injured by Ye Chen when she underestimated him...

The elderly woman of the Qin Family wanted to say something more.

"If the Qin Family wants the truth, then that's what you'll get." He Dong said calmly, then looked at Qu Changfeng and casually said, "Changfeng, didn't you intend to award Ye Chen in front of everyone in Unrivaled County? Then we might as well resolve both matters at once. Later, make sure to clarify Ye Chen's killing of Qin Jing before everyone in Unrivaled County!"

Qu Changfeng didn't understand why He Dong wanted to do this, but he nodded in agreement.

He Dong glanced at the elderly woman of the Qin Family and said, "How about that?"

The elderly woman of the Qin Family suddenly felt uneasy, asking, "He Dong, what are you planning?"

The reply came from Ye Chen, "I will admit in front of everyone in Unrivaled County that Qin Jing was killed by me. Isn't that your goal? What, are you scared now?"

Then Ye Chen looked at He Dong and Qu Changfeng and said, "Vice Dean He, Prefect Qu, let's go."

He Dong nodded.

Then the group left.

The elderly woman of the Qin Family and Qin Zhen, both blood-soaked, stood there, looking at each other in confusion.

What are He Dong and Ye Chen planning to do?

Qin Zhen whispered, "Grandaunt, we must go. The possibility of Ye Chen trying to frame us is low, and as long as he truly admits to this in front of everyone, even if Cangxing Martial Arts Academy wants to protect him, they won't be able to. At that time, our Qin Family can directly request the royal family intervene!

Ye Chen has too many secrets on him!

If we can seize this opportunity and extract his secrets using the Soul-Searching Secret Technique, our Qin Family will surely become even more splendid!"

The elderly woman of the Qin Family thought for a moment and nodded.

Investigating Qin Jing's death was merely an excuse.

It was the real intention to extract some of Ye Chen's secrets for the benefit of the Qin Family!

Just over three months ago, Ye Chen was nothing more than an utterly unremarkable nobody.

In just over three months, he had risen to such a stage, it was unbelievable!

Now, as Ye Chen's fame spread throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty, more and more eyes were fixed on Ye Chen.

Yet due to the formidable strength of Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, nearly everyone else dared not make a move.

The Qin Family had a perfect reason to act against Ye Chen due to Qin Jing's death!

Thinking about the secrets Ye Chen held, the elderly woman of the Qin Family and Qin Zhen couldn't help but show excited expressions!
