Location: Qin Estate – Inner Council Hall
The Qin estate battlefield had temporarily calmed.
Smoke drifted through the air while wounded disciples were carried away.
Inside the council hall, the Qin elders gathered urgently.
Qin Yong, the current head of the Qin family, stood at the center.
Fenglan and Meiyue stood beside him.
The guard who delivered the news spoke again.
"The defensive formation was opened from the inner formation control room."
Silence filled the hall.
Only three elders had access to that place.
Qin Yong's face darkened.
"Bring them here."
Moments later, three elders entered.
• Elder Qin Renshu
• Elder Qin Baotian
• Elder Qin Shiyun
Fenglan immediately felt something strange.
A faint dark aura surrounded one of them.
His Void perception activated.
And he saw it clearly.
The traitor.
Fenglan stepped forward slowly.
His finger pointed directly at the man.
"Elder Qin Renshu."
Gasps echoed in the hall.
Renshu froze for a moment.
Then he laughed.
A cold, twisted laugh.
"So the Void bloodline really is troublesome."
His spiritual aura suddenly exploded.
Black lightning surged from his body.
Qin Yong's eyes widened.
"You…"
"You joined the Shaw family?!"
Renshu smiled coldly.
"Joined them? No."
"I helped them."
The Hidden Conspiracy
Renshu raised his hand.
A dark sigil appeared in the air.
"The Qin family's rise threatened the balance of the five great clans."
"So someone needed to correct that mistake."
Meiyue clenched her fists.
"You betrayed your own family!"
Renshu's eyes became icy.
"Family?"
"The Qin clan abandoned me centuries ago."
His aura continued growing.
Shockingly, his cultivation reached the 8th realm Spirit King.
Even Qin Yong frowned.
Renshu pointed toward the battlefield outside.
"Do you think the Pei clan alone attacked?"
"You fools…"
"The Shaw clan's true army is arriving."
Outside the Qin Estate
Suddenly—
The sky turned dark.
A massive pressure descended from above.
Dozens of flying warships appeared in the clouds.
Each ship carried the banner of the Shaw family.
Qin disciples across the estate looked up in fear.
Fenglan whispered:
"This… is bad."
Arrival of the Shaw General
One warship slowly descended.
A tall man stepped onto the battlefield.
Black armor.
Crimson cape.
His aura crushed the air around him.
Name:
Shaw Tianmo
Cultivation:
9th Realm – Heavenly Sovereign
Even Qin Yong felt pressure.
Shaw Tianmo looked at the estate calmly.
"So this is the Qin family."
He smiled slightly.
"Pathetic."
He raised his hand.
Thousands of Shaw soldiers behind him prepared their weapons.
"Destroy the estate."
The Battle Begins Again
The second invasion had begun.
This time it was far worse.
The Pei clan forces regrouped while the Shaw army marched forward.
Qin disciples were quickly overwhelmed.
Explosions shook the estate again.
Even Qin Yong had to join the battlefield.
Inside the chaos, Fenglan whispered quietly:
"Father…"
He looked toward the sky.
"If you're still alive somewhere…"
"We need you now."
Far Beyond the Battlefield
Deep in the mountains far away.
Inside an ancient void rift.
A man slowly opened his eyes.
Black void energy rotated around him like galaxies.
His cultivation aura was immeasurable.
Name:
Qin Huaian
The true heir of the Qin family.
He looked toward the distant sky.
Through the Void connection, he felt his children's danger.
His expression turned cold.
"Someone dared attack my family."
The void space around him began collapsing.
The mountains trembled violently.
Then he stood up.
