A smile appeared on Shuliduo's elegant and noble face; even with her composure, she could not hide the joy in her heart.

She asked casually:

"Did Oga Kaede return with you, sir?"

“I killed him too.”

Qin Chuan said it casually, unconvinced.

"killed……"

Shulido's smile froze for a moment, then she smiled again and said:

"Just kill him then."

While Oga Kaede is certainly a talented individual, he pales in comparison to this person.

"Your Majesty, you must spend the entire day with Xiaowu."

Qin Chuan stuffed Yelü Zhiwu into Shuliduo's arms.

"I'm very busy with official business today, could you perhaps..."

Shuliduo held her daughter, feeling somewhat at a loss.

She hadn't been this close to Yelü Zhiwu in a long time.

"Are there no official business on other days?"

Qin Chuan gave Shuliduo no chance to stall, and slipped out of the main hall.

"This is your last chance..."

Qin Chuan glanced back at Shuliduo, who was standing still.

Companionship is mutual.

If Shuliduo can rediscover her maternal compassion with Yelü Zhiwu's company on this day.

Perhaps, he might let her off the hook in the future.

But if she remains obstinate and incorrigible, then...

What awaited her was only a merciless executioner's blade.

Qin Chuan returned to the courtyard and began his cultivation at the Great Celestial level.

Experts above the Great Celestial Realm can use not only their own true energy, but also transform themselves into a point to draw upon even greater power from heaven and earth; in short, they can borrow the energy of heaven and earth.

The underlying logic of Bali Shensu's magic array is this.

The sage Duokuohuo in Yinshan was born with the ability to sense the five elements and six energies, and his internal energy was almost inexhaustible.

Aside from Yuan Tiangang, she is very likely the strongest person in the world of Bad Guys.

But these people are merely borrowing the energy of heaven and earth.

Qin Chuan, who cultivates the Longevity Technique, transforms the energy of heaven and earth into his own, promoting the continuous growth of his own 'small world'.

Until one grasps the natural principles of these two worlds, and unites the inner and outer worlds into one, one can reach the ultimate state of harmony between humanity and nature.

It can be said that as long as Qin Chuan masters the Longevity Technique, he will be able to reach the pinnacle of the Bad Guys world, and even surpass Yuan Tiangang, who has three hundred years of cultivation!

According to Qin Chuan's estimate, even with his monstrous talent, it would take him at least fifteen years to reach this level.

"Fifteen years is too long..."

Qin Chuan murmured to himself.

In less than eight years, the game of Yuan Tiangang's chess game will be launched.

He must quickly acquire skills comparable to or even surpassing Yuan Tiangang's.

Otherwise, he would have no choice but to follow the established path and become a pawn of Yuan Tiangang, just like everyone else.

Perhaps he could remain humble and wait for Yuan Tiangang to die willingly before he could unleash his ambitions.

But who can guarantee that his name won't be on Yuan Tiangang's kill list?

That old geezer has always been wary of him, and might just think that he poses too great a threat to Li Xingyun, so he might choose to take him down with him before he dies.

As Qin Chuan was pondering, he suddenly heard a faint sob.

He released his senses and 'saw' Yelü Zhiwu standing outside the courtyard, secretly wiping away tears.

"Shuliduo, you have no chance!"

Without asking, Qin Chuan knew that Shuliduo must have hurt the little girl's feelings again.

Keep in mind, he had only been gone for less than half an hour.

Shuliduo can't even spend this little bit of time with Yelü Zhiwu; she's truly unworthy of being a mother!

Qin Chuan moved swiftly and appeared in front of Yelü Zhiwu.

Upon seeing him, the little girl could no longer hold back, and tears like pearls welled up in her eyes.

Wipe away your tears, don't let anyone see—Shuliduo's words had long been forgotten.

Qin Chuan didn't ask anything, just cried with Yelü Zhiwu, and then spent a whole day having fun with the little girl at the royal court.

Although he was eager to master the Longevity Technique, a little more time wouldn't make a difference.

Chapter 28 The April Meeting, the Slaughterground!

Time passed day by day.

Besides practicing the Longevity Technique, Qin Chuan spent his days teaching Yelü Zhi the art of swordsmanship.

In an effort to please him, Shuliduo sent him a lot of martial arts techniques from the northern deserts, including many shamanistic arts.

Qin Chuan naturally welcomed all comers, transforming the wisdom of his predecessors into his own foundation.

Soon, the April gathering was approaching, and the princes and nobles of the eight tribes, along with their respective experts, gathered at the Northern Desert Royal Court.

They were ambitious and all wanted to win first place at the April meeting to gain more honor and power, but they did not know that the Northern Kingdom had become a killing field.

Ten miles outside the royal court, in the woods.

Corpses were everywhere, and blood flowed like rivers.

Among them were the corpses of hundreds of soldiers from the northern desert, as well as a dozen or so skilled warriors from the northern desert.

Each of them was cut in two by a single sword stroke, their faces bearing expressions of terror, as if they had experienced something extremely frightening before their deaths.

Who are you? Who are you?

The warriors who had led their troops to participate in the April meeting roared wildly.

Opposite him was a masked man carrying a heavy sword in one hand.

The warrior couldn't understand why there were such terrifying masters in the world.

With just one sword, he slaughtered hundreds of their elite soldiers and more than a dozen skilled fighters without suffering any damage.

Even he, the most valiant warrior of the Tusi tribe, was terrified by the attack and lost all courage.

Without uttering a word, the masked man unleashed a thunderous slash with his heavy sword, cleaving the warrior in two.

Then, it drifted away, leaving behind only a piece of paper with a special mark.

Inside the royal palace.

"Your Majesty, the victims this time are the Turks!"

Yao Nian's younger brother knelt on the ground, his face pale, his only remaining left hand raised high, in his palm a thin piece of paper:

"The murderer is still at the scene, leaving this behind..."

"Another group of bad guys?!"

Shulido glanced at the special markings on the piece of paper and was filled with shock and anger.

Before the Tu tribe, members from two other tribes who came to participate in the April Meeting had already been massacred.

In all three incidents, no one survived, and the murderer left behind pieces of paper bearing the mark of a villain.

Shuliduo has some knowledge of the bad guys.

This was a special organization directly under the Tang emperor, said to be omnipresent and all-pervasive.

But the Bad Guys were clearly disbanded many years ago.

How did they suddenly arrive in the northern desert and start a massacre?

And why did they choose April, such an important time?

Shiri Kika walked into the main hall with a solemn expression:

"Just like before, all of Tu's men were killed with a single sword strike!"

"So, there's only one member of this gang, and he's a master swordsman?"

Shuliduo took a deep breath, her heart filled with mixed feelings of joy and sorrow.

When the incident first occurred, her first suspect was naturally Qin Chuan.

After all, he possessed superb martial arts skills and was from the Central Plains, making him the prime suspect.

However, the fact that the murderer was a master swordsman ruled him out as a suspect.

Although Shuliduo had never practiced martial arts, she knew that the way of the knife and the way of the sword were very different. It was already extremely difficult to reach the pinnacle of one, let alone to cultivate both at the same time.

Shuliduo was very happy to confirm that Qin Chuan was not the murderer.

But she was also worried about how to deal with that mysterious swordsman.

Perhaps out of anger that she hadn't spent enough time with her daughter, Qin Chuan had been keeping her door closed to visitors for a long time, and she was turned away every time she tried to visit.

Without him, it would be too difficult to defeat this swordsman.

Shuliduo had considered using a large-scale human wave tactic, but mobilizing a large army would cause a significant disturbance and could very likely alert the enemy.

"Do as I say..."

After much deliberation, Shuliduo finally came up with a brilliant plan.
