Warning! A hidden dragon has emerged!

The exterior of Yunding Villa.

Qiu Qianren fled at full speed.

Suddenly, he clutched his chest, coughed up a mouthful of blood, his body went limp, and he staggered to the ground uncontrollably.

The aftereffects of the Gu worm's backlash caused him to convulse all over and his face to turn ashen white.

"Luckily I was prepared, otherwise I would have been dead today."

He gritted his teeth, leaned on his cane, and struggled to sit up, his eyes filled with resentment and malice.

three days ago.

Tang Tian and Tang Kuo, seriously injured, escaped back to the Tang Clan and informed Qiu Qianren of Qiu Qianchi's murder.

The hatred for killing my sister is irreconcilable!

Qiu Qianren rushed to Jincheng in a fit of rage, intending to settle the score in blood. However, he did not expect Qin Quan to be so powerful. He was as insignificant as an ant in front of him and could not even withstand a single punch.

"Did my little sister die in vain? I don't even have the power to avenge her?"

Qiu Qianren clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug into his palms, drawing blood.

A moment later, a sinister glint flashed in his eyes, and a wicked smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"If the open approach doesn't work, then we'll resort to underhanded tactics! Once I figure out that kid's weaknesses, I'll start with his relatives and friends. Only by controlling them will I have leverage in negotiations, and then I can strike him down when he's off guard."

As Qiu Qianren pondered, he dragged his heavily injured body and staggered into the night, disappearing like a ghost.

……

Yunding Villa, No. 68, Lin Family.

Grandpa Lin and Lin Guohua were awakened by the loud noise outside. Without even changing their clothes, they threw on their coats and slippers and ran frantically to the hall, their faces full of panic.

Lin Wanrou and Qin Quan happened to come downstairs and quickly stopped everyone.

"Mom and Dad, Grandpa and Grandma, don't go out! The outside is full of poisonous gas and venomous insects; it's extremely dangerous!"

"Xiaorou, what happened?"

Old Master Lin suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at the stairwell, and froze the next second.

"Oh? Little Qin is here too?"

"Grandpa, someone tried to attack you just now, but Wanrou and I fought them off."

Qin Quan stepped forward and, speaking rapidly, recounted in detail Qiu Qianren's attack, the release of the Gu worms, and his eventual escape.

"Damn the Gu Poison Cult! They killed Qiu Qianchi, and now they have Qiu Qianren! It's never going to end!"

Lin Guohua was so angry that he was trembling all over, his face full of rage.

"During this time, try not to go out. Once I catch that old man and resolve the crisis, you can move around freely."

Qin Quan solemnly gave his instructions.

Old Master Lin frowned, looking worried.

"But Jincheng is such a large city, with three or four million people and abundant resources. Finding someone who is deliberately hiding is like finding a needle in a haystack!"

Qin Quan waved his hand, confident in his plan.

"As long as he dares to show his face in Jincheng, I will definitely be able to deal with him completely. I was careless tonight. I didn't expect to run into such a cowardly coward."

With that, he turned to leave.

"It's getting late, you should all get some rest. I'm heading back now."

"Xiao Qin, it's almost one o'clock. Why don't you and Xiao Rou make do for the night and go back tomorrow?"

Old Master Lin's face was sincere, but his words took on a completely different meaning in everyone's ears.

Lin Wanrou's cheeks turned bright red, and she was so shy that she didn't dare to lift her head.

She and Qin Quan were already very close, but they had never lived together in front of their families. The old man's words undoubtedly put their relationship into the open.

Qin Quan looked at Lin Wanrou, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes. How could he not want to stay?

But he had to go back to find Jiang Yao and, with the help of Hidden Dragon's intelligence network, quickly locate Qiu Qianren's whereabouts. He absolutely could not give the other party the opportunity to harm the Lin family.

"Old man, there's plenty of time. Let's talk about it after I catch Qiu Qianren."

Qin Quan politely declined with a smile.

"Alright!"

Old Master Lin nodded. With a formidable enemy at hand, capturing Qiu Qianren was of paramount importance. There would be plenty of opportunities to deal with matters of the heart later.

Qin Quan gave a few more safety instructions before turning and walking out of the villa, disappearing into the night.

……

The next morning.

Inside the rental house.

Qin Quan had just finished eating the loving breakfast that Jiang Yao had carefully prepared when his phone suddenly vibrated.

He picked up his phone and saw a text message from Qin Ling.

"Brother, the leader of Fengyu Tower, along with two great protectors, has arrived in Jincheng and is heading towards the Jincheng Martial Alliance. Do you want to go see the show?"

"go!"

Qin Quan replied almost instantly, a gentle smile appearing on his lips.

He had waited ten whole years for that one word, "Brother," and all his grievances and longing turned into warmth at that moment.

Jiang Yao, who was standing to the side, was stunned when she saw this.

What could make you so happy?

"I'll take you to see a play; there's a good one to watch."

Qin Quan said with a smile.

"Watching a play? So early?"

Jiang Yao looked out the window. The sun was rising and the sky was clear. It was the perfect time for a date and a movie.

She doesn't seem to have seen the movie yet.

Imagining this, a blush immediately appeared on Jiang Yao's pretty face.

"Then wait for me for ten minutes while I pack up."

Qin Quan was not in a hurry.

Jiang Yao was naturally beautiful and never dawdled like other women.

Sure enough, in less than ten minutes, Jiang Yao was ready and left the room.

Wearing a white tracksuit, a baseball cap, and a high ponytail, paired with light makeup, she exudes youthful energy, a stark contrast to her usual mature and sophisticated style.

"How is it? Are you satisfied with this outfit?"

Jiang Yao smiled and twirled around in front of Qin Quan, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Very satisfied."

Qin Quan looked her up and down, his eyes filled with amazement.

"Having gotten used to your mature and sophisticated style, this sporty look is quite refreshing."

"As long as you're satisfied."

A woman should look good to those who please her.

Jiang Yao smiled sweetly, took Qin Quan's arm, and the two walked downstairs side by side, heading straight for the Jin Cheng Martial Arts Alliance.

……

The lobby of the Kaneshiro Martial Arts Alliance.

Liu Chuanwu's expression was fierce, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and the venom in his eyes seemed about to burst forth.

"Old Jin, do you think if we release that monster under the Golden City Tower, we can kill that bastard Qin Quan?"

Liu Fei was the only son in the Liu family, and he was almost crippled by Qin Quan.

I will not be able to eat or sleep in peace until I avenge this humiliation.

Jin Hai appeared all smiles and treated Qin Quan with utmost respect, but deep down he hated him just as much.

Qin Quan not only ruined their plans, but also made these people who are now at the top of the city lose face.

Who could tolerate such humiliation?

"The situation is unclear now, and I don't know what the higher-ups' attitude is towards Qin Quan."

Jin Hai said in a deep voice, "But if we don't get rid of him, we'll never be able to hold our heads high. Getting the energy stone from Lin Wanrou will be harder than climbing to heaven!"

"Then let's unleash the monster and completely disrupt this stagnant pool in Jincheng. We'll then take advantage of the chaos to eliminate Qin Quan!"

A mad glint flashed in Liu Chuanwu's eyes; he didn't care about the consequences as long as he could get revenge.

"Okay, let's do it this way!"

Jin Hai nodded, and the two hit it off immediately.

Just as Liu Chuanwu turned to leave, a ghostly figure suddenly appeared at the door.

She was a tall, slender woman with a dashing figure; just by looking at her graceful back, one could tell she was an absolute beauty.

However, she wore a gold mask that covered most of her face, revealing only her beautifully shaped jawline and sexy red lips.

Behind her were two blonde, blue-eyed, and aloof foreign beauties.

The three women appeared out of thin air, and Jin Hai and Liu Chuanwu, both ninth-rank grandmasters, were completely unaware of them.

Only when they saw their figures did the two realize they were in a daze and were terrified.

"Who dares to trespass into the Golden City Martial Alliance? Guards, seize them!"
