During the disaster of world advancement, countless people on the entire Blue Star lost their lives.
There were even more who, like this brother and sister, had their families destroyed.
Although the Great Yan Kingdom had introduced corresponding response strategies, many people still did not receive help.
The lives of this brother and sister were very difficult now.
To make a living, the eighteen-year-old sister had to work to earn money to support her younger brother.
To help his sister share the burden, the younger brother also went out to pick up scrap metal for money.
A Xiang was very fond of this brother and sister. She said to Qin Hanchu, "Shall we take them back with us?"
"Why don't you take them as disciples?" Qin Hanchu asked.
A Xiang nodded repeatedly. She looked at the Liu Xue siblings and asked, "Are you two willing to be my disciples?"
Upon hearing this, the siblings were flattered and overwhelmed.
Although they didn't know A Xiang's strength, the performance of Qin Hanchu before had left an unforgettable impression on them.
Qin Hanchu had not moved at all, yet that young man was killed directly.
This skill was incredibly mysterious, indicating that Qin Hanchu and A Xiang were definitely top-tier powerhouses.
To be able to become a disciple of such a strong person was an immense fortune.
The siblings quickly knelt on the ground and paid their respects to A Xiang.
The reaction of these two startled the surrounding diners.
"Young as they are, they're already taking disciples. Aren't they afraid of misleading them?"
"They can only fool children."
Seeing how young A Xiang and Qin Hanchu were, several middle-aged men and women scoffed.
Qin Hanchu heard their discussions but didn't pay much attention.
"Get up. From now on, you are my disciples."
This was the first time she was a master, and A Xiang seemed very excited and happy.
Qin Hanchu smiled and asked, "If they call you Master, what should they call me?"
"Call me Grand-Master!" A Xiang said with a smile.
"Greetings, Grand-Master." The Liu Xue siblings quickly bowed.
Qin Hanchu smiled and said, "No need to be so formal. I'll give you a 'name-change' bonus when we get back."
"What are your realms? Are you establishing a sect?"
Earlier, the surrounding diners had only been murmuring in low voices.
But at this moment, a straightforward man asked dismissively.
Qin Hanchu smiled and replied, "Does that have much to do with you?"
The man snorted, "If you're not strong enough, what right do you have to take disciples?"
Qin Hanchu chuckled, "What realm is required to be qualified to take disciples?"
"At least Grandmaster!"
"Well said. If you can't even reach Grandmaster, what qualifications do you have to be someone's master?"
Several diners chimed in, egging him on.
A Xiang waved her hand, and the water cup in front of the man flew directly into A Xiang's hand.
This scene startled everyone. The ability to retrieve something from a distance was a hallmark of a Grandmaster.
"Is this strength enough?"
Saying that, A Xiang casually tossed it.
The water cup landed steadily in front of the man.
The man trembled in fear. He was only an eighth-rank martial artist, yet he dared to question a Grandmaster. Wasn't this courting death?
"Senior, please forgive me. I have eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai."
"Please forgive me, Senior."
The few people who had been instigating also hurried to apologize, their faces pale with fear.
Although it was easier for martial artists to cultivate now, Grandmasters were still experts among ordinary people!
"Let's all eat," A Xiang said with a smile, not wanting to bully these commoners.
Seeing A Xiang's skills, the Liu Xue siblings admired her even more.
A Xiang was so young, yet she was so powerful.
They could not have imagined that A Xiang's strength was already considered top-tier in this world.
Just as everyone returned to their seats, a group of people walked in with imposing momentum.
The leader was actually a Martial King realm expert.
Martial Kings, also known as Elemental Warriors, could initially utilize elemental power.
The Divine Continent did not have this system of Elemental Warriors.
Martial King, Martial Venerate, Martial Saint, Martial God corresponded to War King and other realms.
The subsequent Spirit Realm then connected with other worlds.
In the current Great Divine Continent, the Martial King realm was a very powerful expert.
And in the urban world, they were overlords.
In reality, the Martial Kings in the urban world had all achieved breakthroughs during the world's advancement.
They had essentially received the dividends of world advancement.
This group of people was the clansmen of the young master from before.
The leading Martial King was the young master's grandfather, the patriarch of this family.
"Old Ancestor, they killed the young master!" one person pointed at Qin Hanchu.
"Sun Family Ancestor!"
"This is a Martial King realm expert!"
"They dare to kill the young master of the Sun family?"
"They truly don't know the meaning of death, daring to provoke the Sun family, which has a Martial King!"
Although they knew that Qin Hanchu and the other person were very strong, upon learning that Qin Hanchu had killed the Sun family's young master, the onlookers looked at Qin Hanchu and the other person with pity.
In their eyes, Qin Hanchu and A Xiang had fallen into a predicament.
Unless they also had Martial King experts supporting them from behind.
Despite his anger, the Sun Family Ancestor did not attack immediately. He said, "To kill my grandson without even moving, your strength is quite good."
Qin Hanchu smiled, "Passable."
As a Martial King, the Sun Family Ancestor did not think much of Qin Hanchu and the other's strength.
Grandmasters could already kill people silently.
After all, his grandson was only an eighth-rank martial artist.
The reason the Sun Family Ancestor did not immediately attack was mainly due to his apprehension about the forces behind Qin Hanchu and A Xiang.
Qin Hanchu and A Xiang, being so young yet reaching Grandmaster realm, likely had powerful families behind them.
The Sun Family Ancestor was naturally furious that his grandson was killed.
But he didn't want to provoke other Martial Kings for the sake of one grandson.
Having finally reached this realm, the Sun Family Ancestor did not want to put himself in a dangerous situation.
"State your origins!"
"What are the names of your clan's experts?"
"If you don't tell me, don't blame me for being impolite!"
The Sun Family Ancestor threatened coldly.
"If you want to die, I can fulfill that wish."
"If you don't want to die, take your people and scram."
Qin Hanchu said indifferently.
"Damn, this guy is so arrogant?"
"How dare he be so dismissive of a Martial King realm expert?"
"This is going to be big. Even if they have Martial King backing them, it will be hard to resolve."
"The Sun Family Ancestor is a Martial King expert. How could he tolerate being disrespected like this!"
Amidst the crowd's murmuring, the Sun Family Ancestor's face turned ashen with rage, "Good, very good. I was going to spare your lives out of respect for your elders, but now I've decided, you all must die!"
"Noisy!"
Qin Hanchu still did not move, but as his words fell, the Sun Family Ancestor's arm was directly severed!
Ah!
The Sun Family Ancestor screamed in pain, his eyes filled with terror.
He was a Martial King realm expert. How could his arm be cut off without him even realizing it?
How was this possible?
"What happened?"
"The Sun Family Ancestor is a Martial King. How was his arm severed?"
"My God? What just happened?"
The surrounding onlookers turned pale with fright, unable to believe their eyes.
