Sour Pickled Peanuts

Chapter 287 The Treasure of the Situ Family

As the Sun Hall Master’s command was heard, the Sun Divine Emissary hurriedly led the remaining martial artists to flee.

As they fled, they actually took the initiative to kill their heavily injured companions.

This was to avoid leaving any survivors for Qin Hanchu.

The Sun Divine Hall suffered heavy losses in this battle.

More than eighty elites at the Grandmaster realm died, and over a dozen at the Great Grandmaster realm died.

Even three at the Great Grandmaster peak died!

Seeing his subordinates flee, the Sun Hall Master then forced Qin Hanchu back and flew away into the distance.

"We will meet again!" the Sun Hall Master's voice echoed from afar.

Qin Hanchu did not pursue, as he also did not have the ability to keep the Sun Hall Master.

Scanning his surroundings, Qin Hanchu found his dagger.

The dagger given by Situ Guangtao was still quite useful.

Picking up the dagger, Qin Hanchu frowned.

The hilt of the dagger had been damaged by the impact.

Qin Hanchu pulled off the hilt, intending to find someone to make a new one.

But at that moment, something fell out from inside the hilt.

Qin Hanchu looked down and saw a strangely shaped key.

"So this key was inside the dagger."

Qin Hanchu immediately thought of the key that Old Man Haiyun had been looking for.

No one expected this key to be hidden within the dagger's hilt.

No wonder the Situ family members did not know.

Even if this key were returned to the Situ family, they would not dare to accept it.

Qin Hanchu was very curious about the key's purpose.

He would find time to visit the Huangfu family and first investigate which ancient clan the Huangfu family served.

While Qin Hanchu was contemplating, a large number of imperial guards rushed in.

"Marquis, are you alright?" the leading commander hurriedly came to Qin Hanchu's side and asked.

Qin Hanchu smiled and said, "I'm fine, please tidy up this place."

The Marquis's residence was in a mess, so Qin Hanchu had to find a hotel to stay in for the night.

The next morning, Ji Huairou came to "console" Qin Hanchu on behalf of the imperial family.

"Can you track their whereabouts?" Qin Hanchu asked Ji Huairou.

Ji Huairou shook her head, "The aircraft they used was equipped with a very advanced stealth system, and our detection systems could not capture them."

"You don't need to get too involved in this matter, lest you invite trouble," Qin Hanchu said.

Ji Huairou nodded, "Understood."

After Ji Huairou left, Qin Hanchu took a plane to Modu.

The Huangfu family at this time no longer had the prestige of yesteryear.

Although Qin Hanchu had not killed Old Ancestor Haiyun, the Huangfu family had been ostracized by various forces for offending Qin Hanchu.

The Huangfu family had completely submitted and was living cautiously.

"This is the Huangfu family's restricted area, halt!"

Seeing Qin Hanchu approach, the guards of the Huangfu family stepped forward to block him.

Qin Hanchu ignored them and walked directly towards the main gate of the Huangfu family.

Seeing Qin Hanchu act like this, several guards immediately rushed towards him.

"I told you to stop, didn't you hear?"

Qin Hanchu still paid no attention to the guards' attack.

Bang bang!

Before the guards' fists could touch Qin Hanchu, they were sent flying by an invisible force.

Great Grandmaster!

The guards looked at Qin Hanchu in terror and dared not step forward again!

With a casual wave, the gate in front of him was shattered into pieces by Qin Hanchu.

Inside the Huangfu family's residence, everyone was startled by the noise.

"What's going on?"

"What happened?"

Everyone left their residences and walked towards the main entrance.

"Patriarch, the Champion Marquis has broken in!" As the Huangfu Patriarch walked out, a clansman rushed over.

Upon hearing this, the Huangfu Patriarch turned pale with shock. He hurriedly said, "Quickly invite the Old Ancestor."

A few minutes later, the Huangfu Old Ancestor hurried to the front courtyard.

Meanwhile, Qin Hanchu was sitting on a stone bench, leisurely looking at his phone.

"Marquis, what is the meaning of this?" the Huangfu Old Ancestor said with a grim face.

"Do you have anyone from the Dragon Gate here?" Qin Hanchu asked indifferently, looking at his phone screen.

"What Dragon Gate?" The Huangfu Old Ancestor's eyes changed dramatically, and he quickly denied it.

"The Dragon Gate sent you to find this key, didn't they?" Qin Hanchu took out the key and placed it on the stone table beside him.

"The key..."

Before the Huangfu Old Ancestor could finish speaking, Qin Hanchu said sternly, "Think carefully before you answer. You only have one chance."

Qin Hanchu's words made the Huangfu Old Ancestor feel a strong killing intent.

He believed that if he lied, Qin Hanchu would kill him without hesitation!

"Yes! It was people from the Dragon Gate who told me to find it," said Old Ancestor Haiyun.

Qin Hanchu nodded, "Which ancient clan do you serve?"

"The Zhou family!" Old Ancestor Haiyun replied.

"There should be people from the Zhou family at your residence, hand them over," Qin Hanchu said sternly.

The Huangfu Old Ancestor shook his head, "No, why would they be here?"

Qin Hanchu said nothing. With a wave of his hand, a palm strike sent a Grandmaster of the Huangfu family flying.

*Puff!*

The Grandmaster realm martial artist died on the spot.

He had not expected Qin Hanchu to already be at the Great Grandmaster realm.

"The Dragon Gate at this time is under the control of our Qin clan."

"Ancient clans like the Zhou family are no longer a threat."

"As long as you hand over the people from the Zhou family, I can allow the Huangfu family to continue to exist."

"Otherwise, you will bear the consequences."

Qin Hanchu's words shocked the Huangfu Old Ancestor immensely.

Had something happened to the Dragon Gate?

No wonder so many Zhou family members had come!

So they were here for refuge.

Just then, a young man in the crowd quietly retreated.

Qin Hanchu had noticed him, but he did not stop him.

"Well? Are you going to talk?" Qin Hanchu asked.

"I've arranged for them to stay in a villa in the suburbs. I'll take Marquis there now," the Huangfu Old Ancestor said.

Qin Hanchu stood up and walked in front of the Huangfu Old Ancestor, "You are quite loyal to the Zhou family. Since that's the case, you can fulfill your loyalty to the Zhou family."

As his voice fell, Qin Hanchu struck the Huangfu Old Ancestor with a palm.

The Huangfu Old Ancestor hurriedly tried to defend himself!

However, the Huangfu Old Ancestor was too weak in front of Qin Hanchu.

He, who was at the middle stage of the Great Grandmaster realm, was directly thrown away.

*Puff!*

The Huangfu Old Ancestor looked at Qin Hanchu in disbelief, shocked, "Great Grandmaster peak, you..."

"Die!"

Qin Hanchu struck another palm, directly killing the Huangfu Old Ancestor.

"Does anyone else want to tell the truth?" Qin Hanchu scanned the high-ranking officials of the Huangfu family.

The Huangfu family members were terrified. An elder pointed to the backyard and said, "It's in the backyard!"

"I'll give you time to escape, and I'll send people to hunt you down later."

"Whether you can survive depends on your fate."

After speaking, Qin Hanchu soared into the air and headed towards the backyard.

When Qin Hanchu arrived at the backyard, a group of people were preparing to flee.

They were people from the ancient Zhou clan.

"Don't rush to leave, let's chat for a bit." Qin Hanchu descended from the air, blocking the Zhou family's path.

"Qin Hanchu, are you trying to eradicate us completely?"

The one speaking was the original master of the Three Tigers Guild, the "Third Young Master Zhou."

Seeing Qin Hanchu block their way, he roared in anger.
