Sour Pickled Peanuts

Chapter 417 The Soul Guiding Lamp

Qin Han Chu's expression remained placid as he stood calmly in the distance.

Just then, an old man in a gray robe landed beside Young Master Zuoqiu.

The old man's appearance brought a touch of surprise to Young Master Zuoqiu's face, "Uncle Tong, why did you follow me?"

"Master feared you might be in danger and sent me to accompany you and ensure your safety."

"I didn't intend to reveal myself, but I didn't expect this young brother to see through me."

"I am very curious, you are merely at the Spirit Saint level, how did you know of my existence?"

Uncle Tong was perplexed. He was a Profound King realm martial artist; how could Qin Han Chu detect him?

Qin Han Chu did not answer Uncle Tong's question, merely stating coldly, "I'll give you one chance. Take your young master and get out of my sight, or you'll both die here."

"You court death!" Qin Han Chu's words enraged Young Master Zuoqiu. He said to Uncle Tong, "Uncle Tong, kill him!"

Uncle Tong's gaze was filled with doubt. He felt that Qin Han Chu was not bluffing.

However, he thoroughly scanned their surroundings and found no hidden Profound realm martial artists.

"Young Master, it's better to avoid trouble. Let's leave," Uncle Tong felt an inexplicable unease. To ensure Young Master Zuoqiu's safety, he believed it was best to depart.

"What did you say? Leave?"

"You are a Profound King realm expert, do you need to fear this mere Spirit Saint realm trash?"

"Have you become so timid with age?"

"A single arrogant statement has scared you off?"

Uncle Tong's words infuriated Young Master Zuoqiu, causing him to roar.

Qin Han Chu was alone, and moreover, he was only at the Spirit Saint level.

Even if Uncle Tong didn't act, Qin Han Chu could be killed by his own attendants.

Yet, a Profound King realm expert was frightened by a single sentence from Qin Han Chu and wanted to leave with him.

This was an unbearable humiliation for Young Master Zuoqiu!

"This..." Uncle Tong was rendered speechless by the retort.

As a Profound King realm expert, being intimidated into leaving by a Spirit Saint was indeed absurd.

However, Uncle Tong's heart grew increasingly anxious. He had a premonition that something bad was about to happen.

"You all attack and kill him!"

Young Master Zuoqiu no longer paid attention to Uncle Tong, instead issuing an order to his attendants.

These attendants were all martial artists at the Spirit Venerable and Spirit Saint levels.

With their combined efforts, they were confident of killing an ordinary Spirit Saint.

"Congratulations, you have obtained one Death Card."

As soon as Qin Han Chu finished speaking, a teleportation array appeared behind him.

Upon seeing the teleportation array, Uncle Tong's eyes widened in horror.

Such an array, capable of instant activation, could only be created by extremely powerful Array Masters.

Although the master of the ruin was only at the Profound Venerable realm, his attainments in arrays were formidable.

In this Great Flaming Heaven World, his array mastery ranked among the top ten.

With the aid of formations, he could display combat power comparable to a Profound Saint.

As the formations activated, five Profound King realm experts emerged.

"Kill!"

At Qin Han Chu's command, these five immediately attacked.

At this moment, Young Master Zuoqiu was completely panicked. He had never expected Qin Han Chu to summon so many Profound King realm experts.

Beside him, there was only Uncle Tong, a single Profound King realm expert.

If Uncle Tong could barely protect himself, how could he save him?

"Brother, it's all a misunderstanding..."

Young Master Zuoqiu attempted to beg for mercy, but Qin Han Chu's men were already closing in.

Uncle Tong wanted to protect Young Master Zuoqiu, but three Profound Kings had already engaged him in combat.

A moment later, Young Master Zuoqiu and his companions died with unwillingness.

Qin Han Chu had intended to subdue Uncle Tong, but Uncle Tong maintained his integrity.

Since he wished to preserve his pride, Qin Han Chu had no choice but to slay him.

The Zuoqiu family's stronghold was only a month's journey away from this city.

With the death of Young Master Zuoqiu, his Blood Spirit Lamp was instantly extinguished.

Soon, hundreds of experts flew out from the Zuoqiu family.

The Zuoqiu Patriarch, holding the Soul Guiding Lamp, could pinpoint the location of Young Master Zuoqiu's death.

A month later, the Zuoqiu family's experts arrived at the place where Young Master Zuoqiu had met his end.

However, Young Master Zuoqiu and his companions had long since turned to dust and vanished.

And this month was more than enough for Qin Han Chu to flee far away.

What Qin Han Chu did not anticipate was that Uncle Tong had left a mark here before his death.

This mark could be captured by the Soul Guiding Lamp.

As the Zuoqiu Patriarch activated it, everything that had transpired there appeared through projection.

"Transmit this person's likeness to our clansmen who are away."

"Upon discovering him, do not act rashly. Immediately send back information."

The Zuoqiu family was a powerful clan with Profound God ancestors.

Even if Qin Han Chu could summon Profound King realm attendants, they felt no fear.

Among the hundred people brought by the Zuoqiu Patriarch, more than thirty were Profound Kings.

As long as they found Qin Han Chu's whereabouts, they could kill him and avenge Young Master Zuoqiu.

Under the Zuoqiu Patriarch's orders, Qin Han Chu's portrait was distributed to all Zuoqiu clansmen.

The Zuoqiu family had businesses in many cities. As long as Qin Han Chu appeared in a city, they were sure to discover him.

In the Great Flaming Heaven World, cities were also classified by their importance.

The city where Qin Han Chu had been previously was merely a medium-sized city.

And on this day, Qin Han Chu arrived at a large city.

Compared to medium-sized cities, this place was more prosperous and lively.

Profound realm martial artists were even less valued here.

During his travels, Qin Han Chu had also swindled and killed several bandits who blocked his path.

Young Master Zuoqiu and his companions alone had contributed approximately seventy thousand Purple Cards to him.

Including other bandits, Qin Han Chu had earned over a hundred thousand Purple Cards.

With this sum of money, he could once again make some purchases.

After buying some resources, Qin Han Chu directly handed them over to Ah Xiang through the ruin's underground palace.

After keeping the resources for herself, Ah Xiang gave the surplus to Qin Feng and Hu Qingshan.

With the help of Qin Han Chu's resources, Qin Feng and Hu Qingshan's realms had steadily improved.

Upon reaching the Spirit Saint level, Qin Feng once again entered the Qin family's underground palace.

Unbeknownst to Qin Han Chu, he had been targeted by the Zuoqiu family while purchasing resources in the city.

Not only had the Zuoqiu family set their sights on Qin Han Chu, but the family of Young Master Xiao had also found the entrance to the small world.

Of course, it would take them a long time to reach the Blue Star.

Returning from the ruin's underground palace, Qin Han Chu left the inn once more.

As he walked through the city, he suddenly felt someone following him.

Qin Han Chu was perplexed. How had he been spotted?

After killing Young Master Zuoqiu and the others, Qin Han Chu believed he had acted cleanly. He hadn't expected the Zuoqiu family to possess a profound artifact like the Soul Guiding Lamp.

Although he realized he was being tracked, he remained unfazed.

As long as he was within the city, he was safe.

Moreover, with Qin Han Chu's strength, it would be easy to shake off any pursuers.

Thus, Qin Han Chu leisurely wandered around the city, leading his little tails.

Unknowingly, many days had passed.

On this day, experts from the Zuoqiu family entered this city.
