Seeing the Shura Ring in Qin Hanchu's hand, Ning Caihuan was instantly filled with tears.
Qin Hanming, Qin Hanchu's elder brother, also showed surprise.
This ring was something only they, brother and sister, possessed.
Could the young man before them truly be their brother?
Ning Caihuan, suppressing her excitement, took Qin Hanchu's Shura Ring.
"You... you are really Hanchu?"
As she spoke, Ning Caihuan tearfully embraced Qin Hanchu.
Feeling his mother's embrace, Qin Hanchu couldn't help but weep.
This scene brought tears to the eyes of Qin Hanming and Qin Han.
Although they didn't have much affection for Qin Hanchu, they were blood relatives, and their feelings were inherently different.
"Child, why were you also captured?" Ning Caihuan said sadly after a long while.
Qin Hanchu smiled, "I wasn't captured, I've come to take you out."
"What?"
Take them out?
How was that possible?
This was Dragon City, how could Qin Hanchu possibly lead them away?
After the shock, Ning Caihuan said urgently, "Child, leave quickly before anyone discovers you! If you are found, the City Lord's family will also be implicated."
Ning Caihuan assumed Qin Hanchu had persuaded the City Lord to let them go.
Besides this possibility, Ning Caihuan couldn't think of any other.
Ning Caihuan was well aware of the Alliance Leader's strength; even if they escaped this dungeon, they couldn't escape Dragon City.
If that was the case, why should Qin Hanchu sacrifice himself?
"Mom is right, don't make a futile sacrifice."
"You leave first, and when you are strong enough, come back to save us."
Qin Hanming also said.
Qin Hanchu smiled, "Mom, the entire Dragon City is already under my control. The Dragon Alliance Leader has been killed by Great-Grandmother."
"What did you say? The Qin Clan occupied Dragon City?"
"Your Great-Grandmother killed the Alliance Leader? Has your Great-Grandmother reached the Martial King realm?"
Ning Caihuan asked disbelievingly.
"Great-Grandmother is just outside the passage, let's go out," Qin Hanchu said.
"Can... can we really leave?"
Qin Han's eyes welled with tears of joy. She had been imprisoned in this dungeon since childhood.
Now that she could see the outside world, how could she not be excited?
"Husband, can we go out too?" the City Lord's wife asked eagerly.
The City Lord nodded, "Yes, we can go out too."
Led by Qin Hanchu, everyone left the dungeon through the passage.
"Mom, this is Great-Grandmother," Qin Hanchu introduced Qin Lianying to Ning Caihuan after emerging from the passage.
Ning Caihuan, being a woman from the mortal world, knew of Qin Lianying's existence but had never met her.
Upon hearing Qin Hanchu's introduction, Ning Caihuan quickly bowed, "Greetings, Grandmother."
Qin Hanming and Qin Han also bowed respectfully, "Greetings, Great-Grandmother."
Seeing Qin Hanchu rescue his relatives, she smiled, "No need for formalities, let's leave here first."
A moment later, everyone returned to the living room of the Alliance Leader's mansion.
"Hanchu, Elder Lusong has fully taken over the Forbidden Army and has issued a city-wide lockdown order."
"What should we do next?"
After Ning Caihuan and the others were seated, Great-Grandmother asked Qin Hanchu.
"How are the internal forces of the city being handled?" Qin Hanchu asked.
"They have been invited to the Council Pavilion under the City Lord's name!"
Qin Hanchu hummed and then said, "Let's go talk to these people."
At this moment, Ning Caihuan was filled with curiosity.
What was Qin Hanchu's status in the Qin Clan?
Great-Grandmother was a Martial King realm expert, yet she reported to Qin Hanchu as if he were a subordinate!
"Mom, will you rest here or come with me?" After speaking with Great-Grandmother, Qin Hanchu turned to Ning Caihuan and the other two.
Ning Caihuan wanted to understand Qin Hanchu better, so she naturally chose to go with him.
Sitting in the car on the way to the Council Pavilion, Ning Caihuan finally asked Qin Hanchu, "Hanchu, why does Great-Grandmother need to consult you?"
Great-Grandmother was in the car ahead, which was why Ning Caihuan asked Qin Hanchu at this time.
Qin Hanchu smiled, "I am now the Patriarch of the Qin Clan, and the assassination of the Alliance Leader and the seizure of Dragon City were all under my command."
Hearing this, Ning Caihuan and the other two were extremely shocked.
They never expected Qin Hanchu to be so capable.
In his early twenties, he had become the Patriarch of the Qin Clan.
He had even led people to kill the Martial King realm Alliance Leader and captured the first city of the Dragon Gate!
"Tell me, how did you come to the Dragon Gate? And how did you become the Patriarch of the Qin Clan?" Ning Caihuan asked curiously.
"That's a long story, but after tonight, I will tell you properly," Qin Hanchu said with a smile.
Ning Caihuan nodded, then sighed, "I wonder where your second sister is now?"
"I have found my second sister, but we were separated again."
"She should be safe now."
"It won't be long before our family is reunited," Qin Hanchu said.
"You found Xiaoyun?" Ning Caihuan was overjoyed.
Qin Hanchu nodded, then, in a probing tone, asked Ning Caihuan, "Mom, do you know a woman named Jiufeng?"
"How do you know that name?" Ning Caihuan asked, surprised.
"I haven't met her, but she took my second sister and a few of my friends away." Ning Caihuan's reaction had already proven she knew Jiufeng, so Qin Hanchu first answered Ning Caihuan, then asked, "Who is she?"
"How is that possible? She should be dead!"
"If she isn't dead, then perhaps your father is also alive?"
Ning Caihuan said excitedly.
Upon hearing this, Qin Hanchu and his two siblings simultaneously showed expressions of surprise.
Qin Hanchu quickly asked, "Mom, what do you mean? Why would my dad be alive if she is?"
"Jiufeng is one of your father's elite guards."
"She changed her name after becoming your father's elite guard."
"The name Jiufeng holds painful memories for her, so not many people know this name."
"She fell off the Soul Burial Cliff with your father. Since she is still alive, then your father..."
Ning Caihuan paused here.
She dared not guarantee that Qin Feng was still alive, fearing that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
"My father must still be alive!"
"Without my father's help, she couldn't have become a peak Grandmaster in such a short time!"
Qin Hanchu had some understanding of the strength of the Shura Elite Guards.
The Shura Elite Guards back then were all Martial Grandmasters.
Without the aid of the Primordial Medical Scripture, Jiufeng's strength could not have advanced so quickly.
The Shura King had fallen off the Soul Burial Cliff when Qin Hanchu was two years old.
Yet, Jiufeng was already at the peak Grandmaster realm over ten years ago.
Only the Primordial Medical Scripture could so rapidly enhance Jiufeng's corpse.
"If your father is still alive, why haven't you seen him?"
"Since Jiufeng has reached the peak Grandmaster realm, your father would only be stronger!"
Ning Caihuan's tone held a hint of disappointment.
"Once the matter of the Dragon Gate is resolved, I will go look for Jiufeng."
"As long as I find her, I will naturally know whether Father is alive or dead."
Qin Hanchu said, calming his emotions.
