At nine-thirty in the morning, luxury cars parked in the hotel's parking lot.
The Xu family and the Li family members alighted from their cars one after another.
By then, they all knew Qin Hanchu's background.
Even though their sons' legs were broken, they dared not harbor any thoughts of revenge.
Anyone who could command the Imperial Guards was not someone they could afford to offend.
Xu Risheng and Li Ningwei sat in wheelchairs, their faces filled with terror.
They had never imagined that Qin Hanchu's background was so formidable.
It was no wonder Liu Yu had been so respectful towards Qin Hanchu.
A few minutes later, the two families hurried into Qin Hanchu's room.
Qin Hanchu was sitting in the living room, his legs crossed, idly playing with his phone.
Behind him, four Imperial Guards stood solemnly.
Seeing these four Imperial Guards, the members of the Xu and Li families felt as if a mountain was pressing down on their hearts.
Although these four were just ordinary Imperial Guards, their authority was more terrifying than that of Xu Risheng's uncle.
As the saying goes, even a subordinate of a prime minister held high rank, and these Imperial Guards were the direct subordinates of the Sovereign.
Xu Risheng and Li Ningwei looked at Qin Hanchu with fear, their previous arrogance gone.
With a thud!
Xu Risheng's parents and uncle knelt down first, "My son, Xu Risheng, ignorantly provoked you, sir. Please forgive him."
Seeing the Xu family's actions, Li Ningwei's family also quickly knelt down to beg for mercy.
Qin Hanchu did not reply, leaning back lazily on the sofa and playing with his phone.
The Xu and Li families dared not move. As long as Qin Hanchu remained silent, they would continue to kneel.
Time ticked by, and the two families had been kneeling for an hour.
None of them were martial artists, and this hour was extremely grueling for them.
Their legs were already numb, and sweat beaded on everyone's foreheads.
Only then did Qin Hanchu put down his phone and look at them.
Seeing Qin Hanchu look at them, everyone quickly lowered their heads.
"I said I could make you lose everything. Do you believe it now?" Qin Hanchu asked Xu Risheng and Li Ningwei.
"We believe it, we believe it!" Xu Risheng and Li Ningwei, sitting in their wheelchairs, quickly replied.
Just as Qin Hanchu was about to speak, his expression suddenly froze.
Just moments ago, he had sensed a spiritual scan.
Had another big fish been caught?
"You can leave now." Qin Hanchu was too lazy to waste any more time with these people.
Hearing this, the Xu and Li families felt as if they had been granted a general amnesty.
They quickly kowtowed in thanks and then, with the help of their attendants, hobbled away.
"You may leave too."
The four men in black respectfully acknowledged the command.
As soon as they closed the door, the room's window automatically opened.
Immediately after, an old man appeared out of nowhere in the living room.
This person's strength was slightly greater than that of Patriarch Yun Lan.
Seeing Qin Hanchu's calm expression, the old man looked surprised, "You knew I was coming?"
"I guessed," Qin Hanchu replied calmly.
The old man stared at Qin Hanchu with a cold gaze, "Did you kill Yun Lanzi?"
"Yes, I killed him."
Although this person was also a puppet of the Divine Power Restriction, Qin Hanchu did not fear him.
After days of cultivation, Qin Hanchu's control over his Pangu physique had become increasingly adept.
If he couldn't evade the attacks of the Divine Power Restriction, he could use his Pangu physique to resist them.
"Hand over the treasures on your person, and I can allow your Nascent Soul to enter reincarnation."
"If you resist, you will face utter annihilation."
The old man was well aware of Yun Lanzi's strength.
He believed that Qin Hanchu must possess powerful treasures to have been able to kill Yun Lanzi.
Qin Hanchu looked at the old man and smiled, "Do you have confidence in defeating me?"
"My strength is far greater than Yun Lanzi's," the old man said coldly.
Qin Hanchu did not dwell on that question. Instead, he asked, "How do you communicate with the array spirit? What secrets does this Divine Relic Continent hold? If you answer my questions, I can make your strength even greater."
"Array spirit? What do you mean? We are emissaries of the Heavenly Dao!"
The old man's reply caused Qin Hanchu's gaze to carry a hint of pity.
He was merely a pitiable soul trapped by a divine array, yet he still believed himself to be chosen by heaven.
"Alright, you are emissaries of the Heavenly Dao," Qin Hanchu chuckled. "Then how do you communicate with the Heavenly Dao?"
"The secrets of heaven cannot be revealed. You are not qualified to know."
Qin Hanchu continued, "How many emissaries of the Heavenly Dao are there like you?"
"Many, so you cannot escape."
"Give up your resistance and be reincarnated as one of us; that is your proper path."
"As long as you give me your treasures, I can take your next life as my disciple."
"Then you can enjoy wealth and honor."
The old man's face was twisted into a sinister smirk.
"Do you know who I am? Do you know where I came from?"
Qin Hanchu couldn't search his soul, which was why he was trying to glean information from the old man.
This old man's strength was one realm higher than Yun Lanzi's. He wondered how powerful the strongest 'emissary of the Heavenly Dao' would be.
"You are all shameless intruders. Our destiny is to transform you," the old man said proudly.
"If you want to kill me, you must have the strongest among you make a move," Qin Hanchu stretched lazily, disdainfully. "In my eyes, you and Yun Lanzi are merely pitiful souls here to die."
"You seek death!" the old man roared.
"Let's go, find a place to fight."
As soon as the words fell, Qin Hanchu had already flown out of the window.
Because he had cast an invisibility spell, he was not afraid of being seen by ordinary people.
Sensing Qin Hanchu flying out, the old man hurriedly pursued him.
An hour later, Qin Hanchu once again arrived at the Summer Resort.
The previous battle with Yun Lanzi had taken place here.
"Yun Lanzi was slain by me here. Today, I shall send you on your way here as well."
As Qin Hanchu made his move, a massive magic array materialized beneath his feet.
Immediately after, a sharp sword flew out from within, slashing towards the old man.
The old man was about to mock Qin Hanchu, but his expression suddenly changed drastically.
His body was instantly and firmly imprisoned, unable to even speak.
Terror filled the old man's eyes.
Whoosh!
The blue sword pierced directly through the old man's brow.
This blow directly killed the old man's soul, and the trace of divine power restriction was also destroyed.
After the kill, Qin Hanchu vanished in an instant.
Lightning flashed and thunder roared above the Summer Resort. The array spirit of the Divine Power Restriction was venting its rage.
Its puppets were being slain one after another, yet it could not find the culprit.
"Every kingdom must have such an emissary of the Heavenly Dao behind it."
"Since the Federation is the strongest kingdom, the strongest emissary of the Heavenly Dao must be hidden within the strongest Federated kingdom."
"I'll return to Fengcheng first to protect Liu Yujing."
"When Ah Xiang's reincarnation is born, I will send her to cultivate in the Divine Continent Main Realm."
Qin Hanchu gazed towards the Summer Resort, murmuring softly.
