The great-grandmother's expression already showed her apprehension and wariness towards Qin Hanchu.
Qin Hanchu turned and walked towards the entrance of the underground palace. He said in a deep voice, "Let's go. I need to ask my mother what's going on."
On the way back, Qin Lianyin maintained a distance from Qin Hanchu.
In the past, she was Qin Hanchu's great-grandmother.
But now, that relationship no longer existed.
This bloodline gate was quite accurate.
Qin Hanchu's inability to open it could only mean that he was indeed not of the Qin clan.
As the saying goes, those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts!
If Qin Hanchu wanted to protect this secret, he might very well kill her.
In front of the stone gate, Qin Hanchu sat cross-legged on the ground.
He appeared to be cultivating, but in reality, his mind was in turmoil.
Qin Lianyin remained vigilant. As long as she hadn't left this place, she couldn't let her guard down.
For Qin Lianyin, these past few days had been agonizing.
Although she was also at the Martial King realm, she was still weaker compared to Qin Hanchu.
In a one-on-one fight, she might not be Qin Hanchu's match.
Finally, the day came for the stone gate to open.
As the stone gate opened, Qin Hanchu was the first to help the Great Elder and the other two open the stone gate.
Seeing Qin Hanchu's actions, Qin Lianyin was the first to walk out.
With the Great Elder and Qin Lusong backing her up, Qin Lianyin finally relaxed.
After Qin Hanchu came out, he left without a word.
This scene baffled the Great Elder and the other two.
What was going on?
"What happened?" Qin Lusong asked.
Qin Lianyin did not conceal anything and explained the situation.
"What? He's not a member of our Qin clan?"
"Could Ning Caihuan have cheated?" Qin Lusong said angrily.
"Is Qin Feng one of our Qin clan?" The Great Elder shifted the timeline by one generation.
"I know Qin Feng's mother; she's definitely not that kind of woman," Qin Lianyin said.
"Let's go and ask Ning Caihuan about it," Qin Lusong said.
The three of them followed Qin Hanchu out of the clan grounds.
That night, Qin Hanchu and the other three arrived in Longcheng.
Under Qin Hanchu's furious roar, Ning Caihuan and the other two were awakened from their sleep.
Seeing Qin Hanchu's angry expression, Ning Caihuan had a bad feeling. "Hanchu, what's wrong?"
"Why? Why am I not of the Qin clan bloodline?"
"What is going on?" Qin Hanchu said through gritted teeth.
Upon hearing this, Ning Caihuan was surprised. "How did you know?"
Ning Caihuan's answer confirmed that Qin Hanchu was not of the Qin clan's bloodline.
Qin Hanming and Qin Han looked at Ning Caihuan in shock. The former exclaimed, "Mom, what do you mean?"
Seeing that Qin Hanchu already knew, Ning Caihuan no longer concealed it. She said, "You were brought home by my husband from outside. As for who your parents are, I don't know, and Qin Feng never mentioned your background."
"What did you say? I'm not your child?"
Qin Hanchu had initially thought that Ning Caihuan had been unfaithful.
But he never expected that he wasn't their child.
Ning Caihuan didn't even know who his biological parents were?
"We raised you for two years, and then Qin Feng sent you away."
"As for your background, perhaps only Qin Feng knows more." Ning Caihuan said.
"Isn't this your excuse to cover up the truth?" Qin Lusong said angrily.
"If you don't believe me, you can do a DNA test," Ning Caihuan said.
Soon, their blood samples were sent to the laboratory.
Within an hour, the results were out.
Qin Hanchu and Ning Caihuan indeed had no relation whatsoever.
"Who am I?" Qin Hanchu walked out in a daze.
"Great Elder, what should we do?" Qin Lusong asked the Great Elder.
The Great Elder sighed, "Let him be. Our Qin clan has no need to offend him."
"Tai Gu Yi Jing?" Qin Lianyin whispered.
"After he calms down, we'll have a good chat," the Great Elder said.
...
Several days later, Qin Hanchu returned to the secular world.
At this point, he had lost interest in the underground palaces of the Eight Ancient Clans.
He only wanted to figure out the mystery of his origins.
Only by finding Qin Feng could the mystery of his background be unraveled.
Upon returning to the capital, Qin Hanchu first found Song Yunying.
Before Qin Hanchu could speak, Song Yunying said, "She only said three words: Soul Burial Cliff!"
Upon receiving this news, Qin Hanchu immediately took a fighter jet to the border military camp.
On the morning of the fifth day, he arrived at the location where Qin Feng had fallen off the cliff.
Below his feet was a dark abyss.
Even now, the Great Yan Nation had not been able to reach the bottom of the abyss.
As Qin Hanchu gazed into the abyss, silver lights flew out from within.
Qin Hanchu grabbed a silver light, which turned out to be a silver long arrow.
On the arrowhead of the long arrow were written the words "Come down."
Was there someone at the bottom of Soul Burial Cliff?
Holding the long arrow, Qin Hanchu jumped into Soul Burial Cliff.
With his current strength, Qin Hanchu could control his body to float, so he wasn't afraid of falling to his death.
Five thousand meters, ten thousand meters!
As he fell deeper, the temperature around him dropped rapidly.
It was completely dark all around.
The cold temperature had reached more than minus sixty degrees Celsius.
And still, the bottom of the cliff was nowhere in sight!
Continuing to descend, the surrounding temperature had dropped to minus one hundred degrees Celsius.
Even Qin Hanchu felt a chill again.
The cliff walls were now covered in white frost.
This provided some light to the surroundings.
After an unknown amount of time, Qin Hanchu finally landed on the ground.
"Follow me." Before Qin Hanchu could look at his surroundings, a voice reached him.
Qin Hanchu couldn't see the person's appearance clearly, but the person turned and left.
Seeing this, Qin Hanchu could only follow.
"Who are you? Where is Jiufeng?" Qin Hanchu asked.
"You will see her soon," the person said in a deep voice.
At this moment, Qin Hanchu was shocked.
This person could survive in this environment, which showed how powerful he was.
Qin Hanchu could sense a Martial King realm power fluctuation from him.
Such a powerful person was leading the way for him?
After walking for over an hour, they entered a giant underground cave.
Walking for a long time along the cave, Qin Hanchu saw a dazzling light ahead.
The light was so blinding that even Qin Hanchu, a Martial King, could barely withstand it.
As he passed through the light, the previous coldness vanished, replaced by normal warmth.
Due to the blinding light, Qin Hanchu's vision was temporarily impaired.
After a moment, his vision gradually recovered.
This...
To Qin Hanchu's disbelief, before him was a world of blooming flowers and singing birds.
The environment here was even more beautiful than above Soul Burial Cliff.
"Hanchu!"
As soon as his vision returned, Qin Hanchu heard a familiar voice.
He turned around and saw Lin Ying and the others walking towards him with great joy.
Seeing Lin Ying and the other three, Qin Hanchu was also very happy.
"Are you doing well here?" As they met, Qin Hanchu asked with a smile.
