Chapter 130: To Avenge Qin Zhan (1/2)

.

Qin Yu’s strategy worked so well that when the three dwarven leaders arrived, they didn’t find anybody. They unhappily sent out an order to dig, but no matter how and where they dug, they could not find the tunnel that Qin Yu and the rest left in. Ultimately, they could only give up and send people out of the city to find the tunnel’s exit.

The tunnel was very long, so it wasn’t strange that Tie Shou wasted more than ten years building it, despite having had several hundred people working on it.

When they came out, the skies were already dark. Fortunately, the moon was not obstructed by any clouds. For this group who had been walking in the dark the entire time, even the faint moonlight seemed bright to them, and it was enough to guide them on their journey.

“Hey, what’s your name? Grandmaster Tie Shou? Where is this?” The ones leading the group at the forefront were Su Xiongfei and Tie Shou.

Su Xiongfei took the lead as he stepped out from the mouth of the cave and questioned while sweeping his eyes across the mountain range.

“This is the Yan Mountains.” Behind him, Tie Shou walked out and answered.

Several hundred people shuffled out of the tunnel like a train.

Finally, Qin Zong, Qin Yu, and Qing Yun came out.

When he saw that both Qin Yu and Qing Yun were both fine, Su Xiongfei dashed up and shouted, “Great job, you really are powerful. Laozi rarely admires others, but you are one of the few that I do.”

“I’m flattered.” Qin Yu smiled and asked, “Is everybody alright?”

“You guys at the very back were all fine, so how could we not be fine?” Su Xiongfei grinned as he replied.

“That’s good.” Qin Yu walked forward and stared at the tall mountain up ahead, “Where is this?”

“The Yan Mountains.” Qin Zong, who was standing at the side, was the first to reply.

Qin Yu was momentarily startled, “This place is the Yan Mountains? Earlier, didn’t you say that the Fifth Elder brought my Father and Mother here?” When he spoke the last few words, Qin Yu started to get emotional.

“Right, it’s precisely here. We’ll go and meet them now. Hopefully…” Qin Zong was unable to finish his words. Qin Zhan’s life jade had shattered, meaning that he was already dead. Something definitely must have happened.

“Let’s stop dawdling and go.” Qin Yu was even more worried, and his voice was laced with anxiety.

“Everybody, follow me.” Qin Zong didn’t speak any further, and he led the group through the mountain trail.

The group followed behind Qin Zong. After about a kilometer of walking, Qin Yu suddenly shouted.

“Stop!”

Qin Zong hastily stopped and turned to look at Qin Yu with confusion, “What happened?”

“It reeks of blood.” Everybody’s hearts trembled when they heard Qin Yu’s explanation, and fear crept up their faces. The group of stragglers had experienced far too many bloody events today, and now the thing they were most afraid of was precisely the stench of blood.

Qin Zong carefully sensed his surroundings and discovered there really was a bloody stench.

“It’s up ahead.” Qin Yu became a gust of wind as he disappeared from his original spot, running forward frantically as if he discovered something.

Very soon, Qin Yu discovered a man lying down at the foot of the mountain beside a decapitated arm. He was facing the ground, so his face couldn’t be seen, but for those who knew him, his identity was clear even when only his back was visible.

“Dad!” Qin Yu shouted loudly as he ran up and supported him up with an arm. Sure enough, it was Qin Wu.

Qin Wu was unconscious, and the blood oozing from his stump had already turned into a black-colored crust. However, he had still lost so much blood that his complexion was as pale as the dead.

“Dad, wake up!” Qin Yu shouted frantically as he pumped ‘Refining Qi’ from the ‘Secrets of Eternal Life’ into him. The true qi poured into his body and reinvigorated every cell and blood vessel in his body.

Qin Zong and the others dashed forward.

When Qin Zong saw Qin Wu in Qin Yu’s arms, he seemed to suddenly realize something, and he ran forward with a shout.

On the mountain, he saw a headless corpse. But although the corpse did not have a head, just the sight of the familiar body was enough for Qin Zong to know that it was Qin Zhan.

“No, no, Old Fifth! No way…” Qin Zong felt his eyes turn dark for a second as he almost fell over.

Between their band of brothers, he had always been the closest with Qin Zhan, and they had always had similar temperaments. Additionally, all of the Qin Family elders were now dead. Qin Zhan was the only one remaining, but today, even he had become a corpse. How could the family head, Qin Zong, take it?

Furthermore, he had died a miserable death. His head didn’t even remain with his corpse.

“No, Old Fifth!”

Qin Zong threw himself at Qin Zhan’s corpse, and he knelt down loudly with a bang. He continued to wail sorrowfully at the top of his lungs.

The remaining Qin Family members all flocked to Qin Zong upon hearing his heart-breaking cries. As Qin Zong clutched at Qin Zhan’s corpse, they all stood to the side while silently shedding their tears. A group of older men and women sobbed quietly, and the entire scene was shrouded in a feeling of unspeakable sorrow.
