Chapter 72 - 72, Unbridled Rage
Chapter 72: Chapter 72, Unbridled Rage ?
The seven cities in the northwest of the Great Li Dynasty all came under Yang Hong\'s power.
The ambition that had been lurking for many years and buried for decades finally erupted.
Qinghe City was his first battle and was taken easily. Zhao Hetu repeatedly requested for heavy troops to be stationed in Qinghe City over the years, but none of his requests were successful. Because his letters never reached the imperial city of the Great Li Dynasty but were all intercepted by Yang Hong. The purpose was to undermine Qinghe City.
The geographical location of Qinghe City is strategic, with the natural barrier of the Qingshui River to the south and the dangerous Kunlun Mountains to the north. Taking it undoubtedly provided an extra guarantee and a retreat route.
Yang Hong had always coveted Qinghe City. So when he declared himself emperor, the first city he attacked was Qinghe City.
Now, Qinghe City is no longer as it was before, with the family forces separated. Nearly all the forces in Qinghe City have been incorporated. Even the adventure teams that entered and exited the Kunlun Mountains have been incorporated one by one. Those who refused were killed without mercy.
Those days, the blood in Qinghe City flowed like a river...
The Qinghe City has changed, and the Qin family has undergone even more drastic changes.
In the Furong Restaurant, Zhang Dafu was as busy as usual, but now he would occasionally stand at the store entrance and gaze blankly at the North Street. Whenever an adventure team emerged from the Kunlun Mountains, he would go up with a smiling face to inquire about Qin Ze\'s whereabouts.
The three-year period has arrived, but Qin Ze still hasn\'t returned. Everyone believes that he died in the Kunlun Mountains and couldn\'t have survived.
Ever since Qin Ze spared him once and became famous in the family invitational tournament, he decided to side with Qin Ze. The changes that occurred in the Qin family in these few years were more than those in the previous decades. Now, he doesn\'t know if the persistence in his heart should change.
After all, how many people could stay in the Kunlun Mountains for three years and still come out alive?
Zhang Dafu, an abandoned outer disciple of the Qin family, had the lifelong wish of returning to the Qin family. Even being a servant there was a hundred times better than being outside.
And the only person he could rely on was Qin Ze. However, since the upheaval in the Qin family, he knew that relying on Qin Ze was simply impossible. Now, not to mention whether Qin Ze could come out of the Kunlun Mountains alive, even if he did, he couldn\'t confront the Qin family. The current Qin family is no longer the same as before.
Even the plaque on the Qin family\'s gate has been changed to "Qin Mansion". Qin Zhantian is now a founding minister of the Tianya Imperial City, and the disciples of the Qin family have become the Qin Army.
Zhang Dafu let out a long sigh and started calculating with the abacus crackling. Looking at the accounts, his heart tightened. The taxes were getting heavier and heavier. If this continued, the Furong Restaurant simply couldn\'t operate.
"Boss, three grilled fish and a catty of beef..."
Zhang Dafu raised his head, revealing a professional smile. Just as he was about to ask the new waiter to attend to the customer, his eyes glazed over. Looking at the young man in the seat, his heart was greatly shaken, and he couldn\'t help but tremble, "Young Master Qin,,, You,,, You\'re back."
His voice was filled with excitement and astonishment. The joy in his eyes even shocked Qin Ze. Looking at Zhang Dafu, Qin Ze smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, your smile is still so disgusting."
As soon as Qin Ze spoke, Zhang Dafu immediately ran up smiling. His eyeballs looked around and his expression changed. He pulled Qin Ze towards the backyard.
Judging from Zhang Dafu\'s expression, it seemed to be a very important matter. Qin Ze smiled and followed him all the way.
When they arrived at the backyard, Zhang Dafu\'s expression changed and he said solemnly, "Young Master, you should leave Qinghe City quickly. You can\'t return to the Qin family."
"Can\'t return?" Qin Ze frowned. He had cultivated in the Kunlun Mountains for three years precisely to return to the Qin family openly and slap them in the face. Hearing what Zhang Dafu said, Qin Ze immediately sensed that something major must have happened and immediately asked, "Has something happened?"
"Has something happened to Meng Lei?"
"Uncle Meng,,, He,,, He," Zhang Dafu showed a pained expression, gritted his teeth and said: "He fell off the back mountain cliff and his life and death are unknown."
"What?"
"Boom" Qin Ze\'s mind suddenly exploded. A strong killing intent was suddenly released. The powerful momentum from his body instantly melted the thick snow around, quickly turning it into white gas and evaporating it.
Zhang Dafu\'s face turned pale, his heart contracted sharply, and his entire body couldn\'t move. Cold sweat instantly emerged on his forehead and rolled down. His mouth choked with sobs and said: "Young Master,,, Spare,,, Spare,,, My Life..."
Looking at Zhang Dafu\'s painful expression, Qin Ze relaxed his eyebrows and the sharp killing intent immediately disappeared. Taking a step forward, he grabbed Zhang Dafu\'s collar. His two eyes were like the black holes of the underworld, shooting out a cold light that pierced through the soul. "Speak quickly. What exactly happened?"
Zhang Dafu panted heavily, his chest heaved greatly. The killing intent from Qin Ze almost crushed him to death. Seeing Qin Ze\'s icy eyes, his Adam\'s apple rolled and he immediately said: "The Yang family forced Yun Man into marriage. Yun Man refused. Meng Lei vowed to protect her. The two fled to the back mountain cliff. They were knocked off the cliff by the Great Elder\'s palm. Their fate is unknown."
"Qin Xiangtian!"
Qin Ze raised his head and roared. The joints of his entire body crackled. If it weren\'t for his extreme restraint in his heart, the momentum he released could have instantly killed Zhang Dafu alive by shock.
Gritting his teeth, frowning, his pupils wide open and filled with bloodshot eyes, the rage, the towering rage formed a sea of fire. Suddenly, Qin Ze\'s heart trembled, and the dragon\'s roar from the nine heavens suddenly rang out.
Then, he asked: "Where is Yun Man now?"
"Yun Man had no choice but was framed by Qin Kuang. Yesterday, she was sent to Tianya City. I\'m afraid she has arrived by now..."
"Qin Kuang!"
The icy voice was like the ice of the Underworld Sea, making Zhang Dafu shudder. Suddenly, a cold wind blew, and Qin Ze had already disappeared from the spot.
After Qin Ze left, Zhang Dafu couldn\'t bear the weight and slumped to the ground. His eyes were filled with astonishment and he murmured in a low voice: "Too,,, Too,,, Powerful."
The Qin family was decorated with lanterns and streamers, filled with joy and festivity. Red lanterns were hung high. People coming in and out had joyous smiles on their faces.
Among the families in Qinghe City, the Qin family was the only one that could form a marital alliance with the imperial family.
Everyone couldn\'t understand why Yang Lin, the third son of the Yang family and a genius, would take a fancy to Yun Man, who was only at the Dynamic Level 6 in cultivation. Moreover, Yun Man was timid by nature and was completely useless in cultivation. She didn\'t even dare to have a basic duel with others.
No one knew what Yang Lin saw in her.
The Qin family didn\'t care what Yang Lin saw in Yun Man. As long as Yang Lin liked her, it was fine. The seven cities in the northwest had strong power. It was only a matter of time for Yang Hong to unify the Great Li Dynasty. As the most outstanding among Yang Hong\'s four sons, the third son Yang Lin\'s future was surely boundless.
The Qin family was naturally overjoyed that Yang Lin took a fancy to Yun Man.
At the entrance of the Qin family, a cold wind blew. A long series of phantoms merged into one. Qin Ze coldly stared at the words "Qin Mansion", his face revealing a strong killing intent...
