Chapter 2239

In the Qin family, Qin Zhaoyang rushed to a courtyard in a hurry. With a glance inside, his expression suddenly sank.

I saw that there were quite a few people gathered in the courtyard. Some were disciples of the Bafang Sect who lived in his Qin family, and the others were the guards and servants of the Qin family.

Although the number of those disciples of the Bafang Sect was not large, each of them had the cultivation base of the Daoyuan Realm. And although the guards of the Qin family surrounded them tightly, they were all martial artists of the Void King Realm or the Return to Void Realm.

Although there were many people, the momentum was not comparable at all.

The atmosphere at the scene was a bit heavy, and there was a trace of bloody smell in the air.

Qin Zhaoyang’s heavy and urgent footsteps alarmed everyone. Many guards looked back and saw him coming and they all shouted in a low voice: “Old Ancestor!”

However, the disciples of the Bafang Sect who were surrounded by them in the middle had slightly ugly expressions.

Qin Zhaoyang nodded slightly and walked straight forward.

The crowd took the initiative to separate, allowing him to pass unimpeded.

When he arrived at the center, Qin Zhaoyang’s gaze swept over the ground, and his eyes suddenly shrank, and a trace of anger climbed into his heart.

But on the ground, there was a female corpse lying horizontally, with blood all over the ground, and the death condition was miserable. This female corpse was obviously a maid of the Qin family. Qin Zhaoyang recognized her at a glance. A few days ago, this maid had also delivered tea to him. But today, she was lying dead here, with a pair of beautiful eyes wide open, dying with regret.

And looking at the cause of the maid’s death, it seemed that her chest had been shattered by someone with great force. The entire chest was sunken in, and there were still some pieces of internal organs in the vomit at the corner of her mouth.

Qin Zhaoyang looked at this tragic scene, and his mood fluctuated. The source power all over his body trembled slightly.

Several disciples of the Bafangmen looked at each other, and each had an embarrassed expression. Among them, a young man with a slightly fair complexion and a handsome appearance was particularly obvious.

“Who did this.” After a long silence, Qin Zhaoyang took a deep breath. Although his tone was calm, the slightly trembling voice revealed the injustice in his heart.

As he spoke, he raised his eyes and his gaze swept over the people of the Bafangmen.

Those people all averted their eyes and did not dare to look at him.

“Is there anyone who knows the situation? Stand up and speak loudly. Don’t be afraid！” Qin Zhaoyang shouted in a low voice, and his gaze swept over his own guards and maids.

One of the maids bit her red lips and stood up. Her face was pale, and she didn’t seem to have recovered from the fright in front of her eyes. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying. At this moment, suppressing her crying voice, she knelt down in front of Qin Zhaoyang with a plop and said, “Old Ancestor, Xiao Huan died with her eyes open. Please make the decision for her！”

“Stand up and talk. What exactly happened.” Qin Zhaoyang bent down and helped the maid up.

After the maid stood up, she looked up at one of the people in the Bafang Gate and saw that the man was glaring at her fiercely at the moment. She was so frightened that her face turned pale and she let out a scream.

Qin Zhaoyang naturally noticed and reached out to put his hand on the maid’s shoulder. A pure source force poured in to calm the fear in her heart, and said softly： “The old ancestor is here, no one can bully you. Tell the truth.”

“Yes！” The maid nodded slightly and opened her red lips and said： “The maid and Xiaohuan were ordered by the old ancestor to take care of the daily life of the adults here. We did our best and did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. Today, the maid and Xiaohuan came here together to deliver some food to a certain adult. After putting down the fruit plate. The two of us were about to leave, but unexpectedly… but unexpectedly…”

When she said this, it seemed that she recalled something extremely terrifying, and her delicate body trembled and she couldn’t continue speaking.

Qin Zhaoyang waited patiently and continued to help with the source force.

After a while. The maid gradually calmed down and said: “But unexpectedly, that adult had evil intentions and wanted to force the maid and Xiaohuan to stay and serve him. Naturally, the two of us refused and prevaricated in every possible way. I don’t know what happened, but Xiaohuan suddenly let out a shrill scream and flew out of that chamber. When the maid came out to check, she… she…”

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhaoyang exerted a little force with his hand, and the maid fainted. He said to a guard beside him, “Take her down and let her have a good rest.”

“Yes！” Upon hearing this, the guard quickly picked up the maid and rushed out of the courtyard.

Qin Zhaoyang then turned his head and looked at a certain wing in this courtyard. He saw that the door of the wing had been broken, obviously smashed by something. Combining with what the maid said before, it should be because the maid named Xiaohuan was beaten out and then destroyed the door.

“Which friend lives in this box?” Qin Zhaoyang pointed at the side room where the incident occurred, and his sharp gaze looked at the people of the Bafang Sect.

Several people all avoided his gaze and their eyes flickered, as if they knew they were in the wrong and were a little embarrassed.

However, there was one person who became angry from embarrassment. He straightened his chest and shouted: “This young master lives here. So what?

As soon as these words were spoken, the gazes of all the Qin family guards were locked onto that person, and so was Qin Zhaoyang.

This person was exactly that Bafang Sect disciple with a slightly fair complexion and a handsome appearance.

That person, under the gaze of everyone, actually had no shame on his face. He sneered and said, “What do you want to do？ Before you think about what to do, you’d better weigh your own abilities！”

As he spoke, he urged the source power in his body. In an instant, the cultivation base of the second level of the Dao Source Realm was fully revealed.

Qin Zhaoyang was forced back several steps by this momentum. Those bodyguards were even worse. Each of them was like being crushed by a mountain, with a difficult expression on their faces and the bones in their bodies creaking.

Although Qin Zhaoyang was suppressed by the opponent’s momentum, he did not flinch at all. Instead, he urged his strength and forcibly stood in place, said in a deep voice, “What? Is this friend going to destroy my Qin family?

“I don’t mean that. Don’t talk nonsense！” The fair-skinned man shouted.

“Was Xiaohuan killed by you？” Qin Zhaoyang gritted his teeth and shouted.

The fair-skinned man’s face turned embarrassed, and he stammered, “I didn’t want to either. I didn’t do it on purpose. It’s just that she bit me, and I was so angry that I lost control for a while. Look, how hard she bit！”

While speaking, he also rolled up his sleeves, and sure enough, there was a row of fine tooth marks on the arm.

“Just because of this, you killed her？” Qin Zhaoyang suddenly took a few steps forward. His clothes fluttered without wind, making a clattering sound.

Although his cultivation was higher than Qin Zhaoyang’s, seeing his furious look, the fair-skinned man’s momentum actually weakened, and he took a step back, arguing, “I said I didn’t do it on purpose. What else do you want？ You are also a cultivator, so you naturally know that there are occasional mistakes.”

“Old man is a cultivator, but the old man will never force an ordinary person who has no cultivation to do what he doesn’t want to do, “let alone accidentally kill someone!” Qin Zhaoyang said angrily.

“You old guy…” The fair-skinned man was also angry, “It’s still unclear to you.”

“Hehe…” At this time, another middle-aged man stood up, and after laughing, he clasped his fists at Qin Zhaoyang and said, “Master Qin, is it convenient to take a step to talk？”

“Just say what you have to say here.” Qin Zhaoyang replied coldly.

After hitting a soft nail, the middle-aged man also had a embarrassed expression, secretly scolding Qin Zhaoyang for not knowing what’s good for him, but not being able to force it too much. After pondering for a while, he said, “Master Qin, my junior brother Lin Yun accidentally killed your family’s maid. Although he is at fault, now he is also extremely remorseful. Please raise your noble hand and let this matter be reduced from a big one to a small one and then disappear.”

“Extremely remorseful？” Qin Zhaoyang looked at the man named Lin Yun obliquely and sneered, “Is the old man blind？ Why can’t I see the slightest bit of remorse in him？”

The middle-aged man immediately gave Lin Yun a look. Lin Yun muttered a few words dissatisfiedly in his mouth and quickly lowered his head, looking listless.

“Master Qin, the dead cannot be brought back to life. You can’t ask my junior brother Lin Yun to pay with his life, can you？” The middle-aged man said with a smile.

“He dares！” Lin Yun suddenly raised his head again and sneered.

“You shut up！” The middle-aged man glared at Lin Yun viciously, only then did he become a little more obedient.

The middle-aged man looked at Qin Zhaoyang again and said in a low voice, “Master Qin, I won’t hide it from you. My junior brother Lin here is not usually an arrogant and domineering person. He just has a bit of an obsession with women. I’m afraid today’s incident happened because of this. He has been here for a while and has been very obedient. Who would have thought that today he would be horny? It really makes people not know what to say about him. When he was in the sect, the deputy sect master doted on him very much. Some of his tempers we couldn’t bear. Master Qin, you don’t have to bother with him like this.”

“Deputy sect master？” Qin Zhaoyang’s eyelids shrank.

“Oh yes, Deputy Sect Master Lin Rui is his uncle.” The middle-aged man smiled and explained.

How could Qin Zhaoyang not hear the implication in his words.

Not to mention that Lin Yun has a backer, even if he didn’t have this backer, just his cultivation base of the second level of the Dao Source Realm, no one in the Qin family could stop him. Now with this additional concern, Qin Zhaoyang immediately knew that it was absolutely impossible to make him pay with his life.

The Qin family simply couldn’t afford to offend the Bafang Sect. Although the latter was not a big sect, it was hundreds of times stronger than the Qin family.

Thinking of this, Qin Zhaoyang couldn’t help but feel a little disheartened and his expression was desolate.

His own maid was killed in his own home, and as the old ancestor, he couldn’t punish the murderer, which made him feel uneasy in his heart.

“What’s the use of talking so much nonsense？” Lin Yun seemed extremely impatient and shouted at this moment： “Isn’t it just a maid？ Compensation with some money will do. Is 100,000 source crystals enough？ If not, I’ll give you 200,000！ For a small family like yours, 200,000 is a huge sum of money, enough for you to spend for several years. Don’t refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit.”

He had a contemptuous and disdainful look, as if the maid on the ground wasn’t killed by him.

When the middle-aged man heard this, he didn’t have the slightest intention to stop it. Obviously, he also had this idea. If he could compensate with some money and calm things down, that would be the best. If not, he didn’t mind tearing off the mask and threatening with dangerous words. Anyway, today’s matter must never be spread outside.

When Qin Zhaoyang heard this, his originally desolate expression suddenly became furious.

The middle-aged man quickly comforted him in a good voice and said, “Master Qin, don’t be angry. Although my junior brother Lin Yun’s words are not pleasant to hear, what he proposed is not necessarily not a solution. Master Qin, name a price, and we will never refuse.”
