Martial Arts: My Talent Has No Limits

The sound hadn't even faded yet.

Qin Jiu entered the hall at almost the same time.

Wang Yue lagged behind, head down, following beside him.

"Greetings, Master of the Family."

"No need for such formalities, uncles and elders."

Qin Jiu waved his hand.

Then he turned his head and nodded to Wang Yue.

These people were all from collateral branches of the Qin family. As for the guest elders and retainers who held official positions in the Qin family, they were not summoned because the matter to be dealt with tonight was a private matter of the Qin family, and he did not want outsiders to know about it for the time being.

Seeing this, Wang Yue walked towards Qin Xiong without saying a word.

The latter seemed to have a premonition of something.

A savage glint flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly lunged at Qin Jiu.

However, he was fast, but Wang Yue was even faster.

With a flash, his withered hand slammed into Qin Xiong's chest.

"puff"

"Boom!"

Qin Xiong coughed up blood and flew backward.

He smashed the chair behind him to pieces.

All of this happened too fast.

By the time the other four realized what was happening, Qin Xiong was already lying on the ground, bleeding from his mouth and nose.

"this......"

Their expressions changed drastically.

They exchanged glances, but neither made a move.

"What a cruel heart."

"You actually dared to cripple my meridians."

Qin Xiong's eyes were bloodshot.

However, despite struggling several times, he was unable to get up from the ground.

Qin Jiu remained expressionless as he walked to the main seat in the hall and sat down before speaking calmly: "The master bestowed upon you martial arts skills so that you could protect the Qin family. However, not only do you lack the will to protect them, but you have also harbored wolfish ambitions towards the master, colluding with gangs and plotting a rebellion."

"Taking back your martial arts skills is just the beginning."

"According to the Qin family rules, Uncle Wang, read out his charges."

"Yes."

Wang Yue bowed to him.

Then he turned to the others and said, "Qin Xiong has been colluding with the leaders of the Fishing Gang and the Firewood Gang in secret, plotting to seize the Qin family's foundation. He promised to use the Qin family's spirit beast secret recipe to attack my Qin family tonight in conjunction with the two gangs. This is a serious crime."

"According to the family rules, his martial arts skills should be abolished, and he should be punished by being skinned and having his tendons pulled out."

"You're spouting nonsense!"

A flicker of fear crossed Qin Xiong's eyes.

Wang Yue snorted coldly: "Still being stubborn even when you're about to die."

He clapped his hands as he spoke.

A gaunt figure walked in through the door.

The moment Qin Xiong saw this person, his pupils contracted involuntarily.

"Greetings, Master of the Household, and all the stewards and commanders."

The man wasn't very old. He first bowed to everyone, then continued, "My name is Wei Yan, and I am Qin Xiong's confidant. Two months ago, he began to secretly contact the two major gangs. During this time, he constantly ordered me to send real-time information about the Qin family's guard team, the Hundred Beast Garden, and other matters to the Fishing Gang and the Wood Gang."

"Yesterday, Qin Xiong heard that the patriarch planned to form a marriage alliance with the Han family."

"So they told me to deliver a message to both factions, instructing them to gather their forces tonight to prepare for the execution of Elder Wang and the family head, intending to share the Qin family estate with both factions..."

"How dare you!"

The other four were immediately enraged upon hearing this.

Qin Xiong's face was ashen.

He struggled to his knees.

"I beg the patriarch for mercy. This was all my doing. I am willing to accept punishment. I only beg the patriarch not to take my anger out on my wife, children and elderly parents."

"show mercy?"

"Considering the many contributions you have made to the Qin family, I can spare you the punishment of being skinned alive and having your tendons pulled out."

Qin Jiu remained indifferent and said, "Everything else will be handled according to the clan rules. Don't worry, I will let your whole family go together. Men, take Qin Xiong away."

"No......"

Qin Xiong was filled with fear and kowtowed repeatedly.

But they were quickly escorted out by people waiting outside the hall.

then.

Qin Jiu then looked at the others.

"You are all my uncles and elders, and you also have the blood of the Qin family flowing in your veins. If you think the Qin family is doomed, you are free to take your families and leave the Qin family. I will not stop you. But if you have other ideas, I hope you will think twice before you act."

Even if you don't think about yourself.

"Don't be like Qin Xiong, who only thought of his wife and children at the last minute."

He showed no mercy.

The decision to take action in front of everyone tonight was intended as a warning to them.

The Qin family's foundation was built by Qin Guihong bit by bit. It was not because of these collateral branches that the Qin family became powerful. Rather, it was after the Qin family became powerful that the collateral branches gathered together and gradually grew stronger. Now that Qin Guihong is dead, it is hard to say whether only Qin Xiong had ulterior motives.

Even ordinary families sometimes suffer from the loss of their offspring.

Not to mention a large family like the Qin family.

It's better to give them a good talking-to now than to have another Qin Xiong emerge later.

And then a few words were spoken.

The expressions of the other four people in the hall became uncertain.

"I have summoned you all here tonight not only because of the Qin Xiong matter, but also because I have another matter to discuss with you uncles and elders."

At this time.

Qin Jiu's expression softened, and he continued, "In the past few days, following the Qin family's attack and killing by demons, the Han and Qian families have also been attacked by demons one after another. I'm sure you've all heard about this to some extent."

"I originally thought my father's death was an accident."

"Now it seems more like a conspiracy."

What do you all think?

A tall, upright man in his early thirties frowned and said, "Although demons enjoy eating human blood, most of them have no intelligence and only know how to kill. Logically speaking, when such ferocious creatures appear in the city, they should indiscriminately start a massacre."

"However, it crossed the densely populated outer city."

"Go straight to the inner city and attack the three major families."

"There must be someone manipulating this behind the scenes."

Qin Jiu looked at the person who spoke.

This is the commander of the Qin family's guard, named Qin Xuanzhou. He is currently the most talented martial artist in the Qin family. He is only thirty years old and has already achieved the third level of mastery. He only needs to open up his internal energy through his meridians to enter the inner strength realm.

He pondered for a moment, then nodded to Qin Xuanzhou.

Then she looked at the other people.

The other three remained silent.

He seemed to harbor resentment about what had happened earlier.

No one spoke.

Qin Jiu was not annoyed. After pondering for a moment, he said, "The reason I asked everyone to return to the Qin residence is because this matter is not simple. However, no one knows the plans of the person behind it. For now, we can only wait and see."

"During these days under Commander Xuanzhou's command, the Hundred Beasts Garden must be kept under strict guard."

"Don't let anything go wrong over there."

"As for the others, they should not go out during this period. I will assign some people to investigate the matter of the demons."

After saying all that.

Qin Jiu ignored what they thought and got up to leave the hall.

"He addressed Qin Xiong's family as 'uncle' repeatedly, yet his face remained completely expressionless when dealing with them."

Inside the hall.

An old man's eye twitched as he watched Qin Jiu disappear into the night. He muttered, "It's a pity that he hasn't mastered martial arts. Such sharpness may not be a good thing. After all, even when the patriarch was at the height of his power, he wasn't this ruthless."

Be careful what you say.

......

"Uncle Wang, when will my pills be finished?"

On the road.

He turned his head and asked Wang Yue a question.

"It'll be fine tomorrow."

"tomorrow?"

Qin Jiu pondered for a moment and said, "Then when you go to the Four Seasons Pharmacy to pick up the medicine tomorrow, see if you can get that deputy hall master to meet with me."
