Chapter 2236

Fenglin City, Qin Family.

In Qin Yu’s boudoir, on the sickbed, Qin Yu lay there without a trace of blood on her face, coughing lightly from time to time. Occasionally, when the cough was severe, she couldn’t even catch her breath.

An inexplicable death energy lingered around Qin Yu. Even an ordinary person who had never practiced could faintly sense that Qin Yu’s state was not right at the moment. And if a person with a bit of cultivation base circulated their divine sense to scan, they could clearly find that Qin Yu was currently overshadowed by a faint black qi.

And as time passed, this black qi became more and more rich.

No one knew what kind of energy this black qi was. Since it appeared two months ago, it had been constantly devouring Qin Yu’s vitality, making her condition worse day by day.

Heaven and Earth truncate the body. This is a very special physique, a physique that is not tolerated by Heaven and Earth. Any person with this physique cannot live past the age of eighteen because the laws of Heaven and Earth will truncate this person’s vitality.

Beside the sickbed, the maid serving Qin Yu secretly wiped away her tears, her eyes red and swollen from crying.

Qin Yu was kind-hearted and gentle and polite to both superiors and inferiors. All the servants in the Qin family respected her very much. Naturally, this maid was no exception. Seeing that her young lady had contracted some serious illness and had weakened to this extent in just two months, the maid was also extremely distressed.

“What are you crying for！ Useless thing, get out of here at once！” Beside them, Qin Zhaoyang suddenly shouted angrily.

He had also been extremely worried these days. Already in a bad mood and upset, seeing this servant girl crying in front of him at this moment, he became even more irritable and couldn’t help but shout.

The servant girl was immediately terrified and knelt down with a plop, but she didn’t leave. She said, “Old Ancestor, please forgive me. Old Ancestor, don’t be angry. This servant girl won’t cry anymore. This servant girl also won’t leave. This servant girl wants to stay and take care of the young miss…”

She pleaded continuously, with a sincere tone.

Qin Zhaoyang opened his mouth and finally let out a deep sigh. With a raise of his hand, an invisible force spread out and lifted the servant girl up. He restrained his anger and said, “Forget it, forget it…”

The tone was indescribably desolate and depressed.

“It’s this servant girl’s fault for not taking good care of the young miss.” As the servant girl spoke, she wiped the corner of her eye again, but forcibly endured not crying out loud.

“Old Ancestor…” On the sickbed, Qin Yu suddenly called out softly. As soon as the words came out, she coughed violently again. The servant girl hurriedly stepped forward and stroked her back to help her catch her breath.

After Qin Yu recovered her strength, Qin Zhaoyang said in a soft voice, “Yu’er, you have a good rest and don’t say anything.”

Qin Yu slowly shook her head and said, “Brother Yang… hasn’t he come back yet？”

Hearing this, Qin Zhaoyang’s complexion changed slightly, not knowing how to respond.

Now that Qin Yu’s eighteenth birthday is approaching. And the only hope to keep Qin Yu alive lies in Yang Kai, but there is still no sign of Yang Kai.

Qin Zhaoyang couldn’t help but wonder if he had entrusted the wrong person.

He had already found out everything about the Four Seasons Land.

Yang Kai showed great prowess in the Four Seasons Land, refining the Supreme Wonderful Divine Pill and playing with the elite disciples of various sect forces in the palm of his hand. This matter had already spread like wildfire and was talked about everywhere in the entire Southern Region.

Although Fenglin City is a small city. But with Qin Zhaoyang’s intentional inquiries, how could he not find out？

It’s just… the Four Seasons Land had been closed three months ago. If Yang Kai really got the Tribulation and Disaster Difficult Fruit, he should have already returned to Fenglin City long ago. But why is there still no sign of him until now？

Qin Zhaoyang didn’t want to judge a gentleman with a villain’s heart, but as long as he didn’t see Yang Kai for a day, he couldn’t feel at ease.

He didn’t know whether Yang Kai didn’t dare to come and see him because he couldn’t find the Tribulation and Disaster Difficult Fruit, or whether Yang Kai simply didn’t take the Tribulation and Disaster Difficult Fruit seriously and had already run away without a trace.

Now that the sky is big and the earth is big, even if he wants to look for Yang Kai. He doesn’t know where to start looking, and what’s more, there is no time left.

“Old Ancestor, you’re suspecting Big Brother Yang？” Although Qin Yu was terminally ill, she was as intelligent as ever. As soon as she saw Qin Zhaoyang’s expression, she guessed his concerns in his heart.

“The old ancestor doesn’t want to think too much. I hope Little Brother Yang can send that thing back as soon as possible. But… even if he didn’t get that thing, he should have come back and said hello to me. There are limitations to human power, and the old man can understand that. But now he… sigh！”

“Maybe Big Brother Yang has some important matters that have delayed him.” Qin Yu said softly. As soon as these words were finished, she coughed violently again.

“I hope so.” Qin Zhaoyang smiled bitterly, but in his heart, he didn’t quite agree.

Even if there were really some important matters that delayed him, it should always be possible to find someone to send a message back, right？ Deep in his heart, he increasingly felt that Yang Kai probably took the million swords of the Qin family and didn’t want to come back.

The million swords of the Emperor Treasure were lost, and that’s that. Although this thing is precious, the Qin family is now declining, and no one can exert its power. An ordinary person is innocent, but if he holds a precious jade, he may attract some troubles.

But the price of misjudging a person made Qin Zhaoyang feel extremely heartbroken, and he secretly regretted that he had entrusted such an important matter to a person he had just met soon.

If he had gone to the Four Seasons Land himself at that time, perhaps there would have been a glimmer of hope and Qin Yu wouldn’t have to lie here waiting to die.

The deep self-blame in his heart made Qin Zhaoyang unable to sleep at night and uneasy in his diet.

“Brother Yang will come back.” Qin Yu’s expression was certain. “He is not the kind of person who likes to take advantage of others and leave without saying goodbye.”

“Miss, what time is it and you are still speaking well for that person.” The servant girl looked at her with heartache and her tears were about to come out again.

“What do you know.” Qin Yu scolded her and continued. “Although I haven’t had much contact with Brother Yang, you should know, Ancestor, that I have the Good Fortune Heaven Eye and I am very accurate in judging people.”

Hearing this, Qin Zhaoyang’s eyes lit up and his originally desperate mood gave birth to a glimmer of hope again.

This was indeed the case. Although Qin Yu’s cultivation level was not high, because of the Good Fortune Heaven Eye, she was very accurate in judging people. Generally speaking, when she saw a person for the first time, she could know whether this person was good or evil and whether he was trustworthy.

If it hadn’t been for Qin Yu’s consent, Qin Zhaoyang would never have dared to give the quota to enter the Four Seasons Land to Yang Kai.

“So Brother Yang must have been delayed by something…” Qin Yu made a final conclusion and then said. “Ancestor, you should go and be busy. You don’t have to worry about me here. Sooner or later, I will get better. As for here in Fenglin City… I heard from Huier that many big shots have come here during this period of time, and even our Qin family has a resident？”

“Hmm！” Qin Zhaoyang nodded when he heard this. “You have been seriously ill these days and Ancestor didn’t tell you about this matter. It’s this little girl who is gossiping behind your back.”

While speaking, he glared at the maid named Huier.

The maid quickly stuck out her fragrant tongue and explained, “This servant saw that the young lady was feeling depressed, so she casually said something. This servant won’t dare to do it again next time.”

“If there is such a thing again, I’ll break your dog legs！” Qin Zhaoyang snorted coldly.

“Don’t be afraid. Grandpa is scaring you.” Qin Yu smiled and patted Huier’s hand on the back.

Qin Zhaoyang let out a deep sigh and said, “The servants in the family have all been spoiled by you.”

“Grandpa, what has happened in the city recently? Why have so many people been attracted here?” Qin Yu turned her head and asked.

In the past two years, Fenglin City has seemingly never been peaceful. First, the Holy Spirit appeared, causing a hegemonic force like the Star God Palace to send powerhouses to come and investigate the details. Immediately after that, there was the siege of the city by demonic energy which made a great commotion. The nearby Musen City was even almost wiped out because of that siege of the city by demonic energy. Fortunately, at the last moment, the demonic energy retreated on its own, allowing those demonic people to regain their sanity.

Otherwise, Musen City would surely be an empty city now.

That time, several Emperor Venerable Realms also came to investigate in person despite their hardships.

Now, I don’t know what the matter is, but it has actually attracted many powerhouses to come. Although Qin Yu has heard some rumors from Huier, she doesn’t know the details clearly and naturally wants to ask for clarification.

“If we trace the origin, this matter is still related to the emergence of the demonic energy last time.” Qin Zhaoyang sighed, looking worried.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu’s pretty face changed slightly, and she exclaimed, “Could it be that the demonic energy has appeared again?”

Huier, who was standing beside her, also trembled slightly, revealing a look of horror.

“That’s not the case.” Qin Zhaoyang replied, The demonic energy that goes back last time has never appeared again. It’s just that… below the seal we went to last time, a top-grade earth vein actually appeared!

“A top-grade earth vein？” Qin Yu’s beautiful eyes lit up. “Near Fenglin City, there is actually a top-grade earth vein？”

Qin Zhaoyang also smiled and said, “This matter also surprised us old guys. As you know, the reason why no major forces have settled in Fenglin City has always been that our place is not only small, but also the spiritual energy is not rich, and there are no particularly special products. So over the years, it has been under the unified management of the City Lord’s Mansion. But with the appearance of this top-grade earth vein, the situation is different…”

“Just a top-grade earth vein alone shouldn’t make many major forces care so much, right？ Is there another reason？”

“That’s right！” Qin Zhaoyang’s expression became solemn. “Near that top-grade spiritual vein, many branched middle-grade and low-grade earth veins seem to have been found. In addition, in the direction towards Yuqing Mountain, there seems to be a source crystal vein as well, and we don’t know what grade it is！”

Qin Yu couldn’t help but be moved.

Hearing this, she finally understood why Fenglin City could attract people to come.

Just that source crystal vein was enough to make people fight until their heads were broken and bleeding, not to mention there were still many spiritual veins of different qualities.

“These spiritual veins and source crystal veins, the Star God Palace and several of the topmost great forces don’t look down on them, but those first- and second-tier forces that are inferior to these top strengths can’t ignore them. The situation in Fenglin City is now changing rapidly. Just dozens of Dao Source Third Layer Realm experts have come. I don’t know if the Emperor Venerable Realm has come, but as long as the benefits here are great enough, it’s only a matter of time before the Emperor Venerable Realm is attracted to come.”

After listening, Qin Yu said seriously： “Old Ancestor, at this critical juncture, our Qin family should not come forward to do anything. Just wait and see the changes. In front of those behemoths, our Qin family is just a tiny stone and simply has no strength to fight against them.”
