Hearing this voice, all the onlookers turned to look at its source. There, Qin Yichen approached the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce with a dark expression, accompanied by a beast that resembled both tiger and lion.
“Qin Yichen? You’re not dead?” Hearing Qin Yichen’s voice, An Cangye’s hand faltered, nearly getting bitten by Xiao Bai. After forcefully driving the latter back a short distance, he called out in disbelief.
At this moment, the remaining four Partially Accomplished Spirit Realm Elders from the An Family also paused.
“What? You old dog, disappointed that your wishes didn’t come true?” Qin Yichen stared at An Cangye, his tone very dark. Earlier when the An Family was suffering setbacks, he had not kicked them while they were down. He chose not to completely crush them.
He had not expected them to be so shameless – not only abandoning their status as a Millennial Family by retreating from the third defensive line, but also trying to move against the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce and Little Ling’er during his absence!
“How can you possibly be alive…” An Cangye had received news about the third defensive line – the Demonic Beast Army was still in a standoff with the Human experts outside the walls, and Qin Yichen had been taken away by the Sky Reaching Behemoth, whereabouts unknown.
Yet now, Qin Yichen had appeared in Central Province City, which An Cangye found completely incomprehensible.
“How could I possibly die before you?” Qin Yichen walked straight to Little Ling’er’s side, his gaze fixed on An Cangye. Facing a Peak Spirit Realm expert, he showed not a trace of fear – only overwhelming anger.
“Patriarch, what should we do? It’s just him alone, should we…” The four Partially Accomplished Spirit Realm Elders stood behind An Cangye, with one whispering and making a subtle throat-slitting gesture.
However, after thinking darkly for a moment, An Cangye shook his head.
If Qin Yichen was not here, he could have taken over the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce under the Li Family’s name without anyone daring to object. But with Qin Yichen here, things were different. His reputation now was unmatched in both the Northern Region and the Thousand Mist Empire. If the An Family truly disregarded public anger and openly moved against Qin Yichen now, even with the Li Family’s help, they would likely lose their position among the Eight Millennial Families.
After a while, An Cangye took a deep breath. Having already committed this far, he could not leave empty-handed: “Qin Yichen, how dare you steal the Li Family’s Pill Formula and claim it as your own!? Today, I’m here to reclaim it on behalf of the Li Family! Considering your role in organizing a Force against the Ten Thousand Beast Tide, I’ll just reclaim your Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce to compensate for your crimes!”
At An Cangye’s words, everyone from the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce changed expression. The Li Family was not a Force they could afford to offend.
Behind An Cangye, the An Family members looked mockingly at Qin Yichen. No matter how extraordinary or outstanding he was, in the end, he was just an upstart without much backing!
“Cut the bullshit! I’ll count to three – if you don’t get lost, you’ll all stay here today!” Qin Yichen snorted coldly. At this moment, he had no patience to deal with An Cangye because he could sense the extremely unstable Sky Reaching Behemoth behind him. If it revealed its true form here, forget the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce – the entire Central Province City would become a bloody ruin.
“You…” Having brought up the Li Family, An Cangye had thought Qin Yichen would show some apprehension. Instead, the latter mercilessly slapped his face, making An Cangye’s blood surge with rage.
“One!”
However, Qin Yichen merely spoke one word calmly, showing no intention of arguing with An Cangye.
“Qin Yichen, you dare disregard the Li Family!?” An Cangye roared, though now feeling somewhat uncertain. He noticed that onlookers were looking at him strangely – clearly, in most people’s eyes, Qin Yichen’s position would not be shaken by his words.
“Two!” As Qin Yichen took a step forward, he shouted the second number. At this moment, his aura was overwhelming, as if he alone could defeat all the Spirit Realm experts of the An Family.
Under Qin Yichen’s single step, An Cangye could not help stepping back, immediately revealing the stark difference in their bearing.
After stepping back, An Cangye realized what he had done. His face alternated between green and white, extremely ugly. He was probably the only Peak Spirit Realm expert that could be scared into retreat by a mere third level Peak Martial Grandmaster.
“Look, An Cangye retreated…”
“Tsk tsk, no wonder his An Family is becoming history – the first Millennial Family to flee before the Ten Thousand Beast Tide…”
Seeing An Cangye’s retreat, whispers arose from the crowd. Though very faint, with An Cangye’s cultivation level, he naturally clearly heard them.
“Fine… fine, Qin Yichen, just you wait. When the Li Family experts arrive, let’s see how arrogant you can be!?” Amidst the whispers, An Cangye finally swept his sleeve and led the An Family members away in disgrace.
“Qin Yichen…” Seeing An Cangye leave, both Zhao Ritian and Ye Liangchen showed shame on their faces. Clearly, Qin Yichen had trusted them with Ling’er, yet they had no way to stop An Cangye from bullying them. They were not even as useful as Xiao Bai.
This gave these two proud individuals a feeling of utter shame.
“Daddy’s amazing!” Little Ling’er also rushed over, tightly hugging Qin Yichen’s leg and pressing her little face against it, her big watery eyes blinking as she looked up at him.
*Roar…*
At this moment, the beast behind Qin Yichen let out an impatient low growl.
This miniaturized version of the Sky Reaching Behemoth appeared extremely agitated, its eyes fixed on Xiao Bai. If not for Qin Yichen’s repeated warnings before entering, it probably would have pounced regardless of consequences.
At this time, Xiao Bai was also baring its teeth, looking equally agitated.
Qin Yichen took a deep breath, showing no intention of blaming Zhao Ritian and the others. After all, even he had not expected the An Family to bring up a major Force like the Li Family, and so shamelessly chose this moment to strike.
If he had not returned in time, Little Ling’er would have been in danger today.
“Let’s talk inside…” Feeling the nearly berserk Sky Reaching Behemoth behind him, Qin Yichen’s mouth twitched. He cupped his hands to the onlookers and turned to go inside.
“Ah? Daddy, you brought back a ‘Kitty’?”
Just as Qin Yichen was about to go in, Little Ling’er’s surprised voice suddenly rang out, her gaze falling on the miniaturized Sky Reaching Behemoth.
