Although he had stayed at home for three years, it didn't mean he knew nothing about the outside world.
The Bei Ming Empire had tens of thousands of cities and hundreds of prefectures, and the largest city, of course, belonged to the Imperial Capital.
In the Imperial Capital, although the Tian Shen Academy had the greatest prestige, the Tian Shen Academy was, after all, an orthodox institution and did not have a system of power divisions.
On the contrary, it was the great aristocratic families in the Imperial Capital.
The Ming Imperial Family possessed immense power and profound background.
And besides the Imperial Family, there were still some other families that also held and controlled the bloodlines of the entire Bei Ming Empire.
The Wang Family was one of them. The Xu Family was also one.
"Forget it!"
At this moment, Wang Ke also waved his hand and said, "If they won't let us choose, then we'll just kill our way in. These guys are truly a bunch of frogs in a well!"
Xu Shenming and Wang Ke were both disciples of the Tian Shen Academy.
The two of them were on an errand. When they passed through Ling Yun City, seeing that night was approaching, they entered the city to find a place to rest.
When they learned that there was a power struggle in this place and knew who the victor was, they thought for a moment and then came over, wanting to plunder a few things.
After all, with the reputation of the Xu Family and Wang Family from the Imperial Capital, which small city wouldn't fawn over them and receive them enthusiastically?
But unexpectedly, they encountered a bunch of bumpkins who didn't even know the Wang Family or the Xu Family.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Qin Ning still paid no attention.
The Wang Family, Xu Family, and Ye Family in the Imperial Capital were all renowned great aristocratic families.
However, if these descendants of aristocratic families wanted to show off in front of him, then they truly didn't know how to live or die.
Qin Ning strode forward, looked at the two men, sneered, and said, "Don't just talk about you two. Even if your family patriarchs came here and dared to trespass on the Qin Family, I, Qin Ning, would kill them without mercy!"
"Mentally challenged!"
"Ridiculous!"
At this moment, Xu Shenming and Wang Ke were enraged to the point of madness by Qin Ning.
This guy, does he not know what fear is?
Xu Shenming immediately stepped forward, and Wang Ke also quickly stood shoulder to shoulder with him.
Each held a long sword, looking very aggressive from head to toe. Their breathing gradually quickened, and dense spiritual energy truly made others' expressions change.
First Layer of the Spirit Sea Realm!
Unexpectedly, those two had reached the First Layer of the Spirit Sea Realm!
Seeing this scene, everyone suddenly became more cautious and wary.
Qin Ning, however, gently shook his head.
There are always those who can't see the situation clearly.
"Go to hell!"
It was clear that Xu Shenming and Wang Ke often sparred. The two charged forward together, but their footsteps were not hurried or panicked. They looked at Qin Ning with disdain.
This guy looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old; how much skill could he possibly have?
"Scram!"
Qin Ning watched the two charge at him, shouted in a low voice, clenched his hand, and threw a direct punch.
"Soaring Dragon Long Fist!"
At this moment, streams of spiritual energy shot out, condensing into a long dragon of energy. That long dragon was over ten meters long, tearing open a large area of ground.
A whooshing sound echoed, causing the protective spiritual energy on the surfaces of Xu Shenming and Wang Ke to crack and shatter.
The few people standing behind them were blown away by the long dragon, their figures swaying in the air.
"Damn it!"
"This brat is actually at the Ninth Gate of the Heavenly Gate!"
The two men's expressions suddenly changed.
But they were not afraid.
Qin Ning's realm was the Ninth Gate of the Heavenly Gate, but they were at the First Layer of the Spirit Sea Realm.
"Slash!"
The two figures drifted in the air, slashing down with a sword.
"You can't cut through!"
Qin Ning didn't care.
Clang, clang...
The Long Dragon, formed from spiritual energy, carried an air of authority and was incredibly solid at this moment.
Even if those two tried their hardest, it wouldn't make a dent.
"Don't even mention the Wang family or the Xu family in the Imperial Capital; even the ancient aristocratic families on the Jiuyou Continent wouldn't dare to be so insolent when they see me!"
Qin Ning snorted, clenching his hands.
A cracking sound echoed, and the two men had completely lost their ability to resist.
Meanwhile, the faces of the people behind them turned pale.
"Die!"
Qin Ning waved his hand, and more cracking sounds rang out. The people instantly turned into broken skeletons, a truly gruesome sight.
Thump, thump, thump…
The corpses fell to the ground, no longer resembling human forms.
Seeing this scene, Qin Hai clicked his tongue.
Qin Ning had already reached the ninth gate of the Heavenly Gate.
It was truly astonishing!
"Second Brother, they must have a lot of good stuff on them. Let's search them!"
"Oh, oh, alright!"
Suddenly, the Qin family guards became busy for a while.
The rain grew heavier, and the sky gradually darkened.
"Second Young Master, Third Young Master, something big has happened! The clan leader sent his subordinates to invite the two young masters back to the manor!"
In the rainy night, a figure shot over like an arrow.
"What's wrong?"
"It concerns the Eldest Young Master!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
"Big Brother…"
Qin Ning clenched his fists. Could it be that Ling Tian, who had gone to the Heavenly God Academy, had already started to make a move against his Big Brother?
…
Late at night, after a period of busy activity, the assets of the four great families—the Ling family, the Shen family, the Chu family, and the Lin family—were all transferred to the Qin family.
That night, the rain fell incessantly, as if wanting to wash away all the bloodstains in Lingyun City.
At this moment, inside the Qin Manor.
In the main hall, Qin Changsheng, Qin Yuanshan, Third Elder Qin Fengyun, Fourth Elder Qin Fengshang, Qin Hai, Qin Ning, and other high-ranking members of the Qin family were all seated.
"This is what happened!"
Qin Changsheng's face was visibly pale, and more silver threads had appeared at his temples.
"I'm afraid Qin Shan's condition is not very good…"
"Damn it!"
The Third Elder shouted, "This matter, there's more than half a chance that it's that brat Ling Tian playing tricks. Otherwise, with the Eldest Young Master's personality, he wouldn't act so recklessly!"
"Exactly!"
The Fourth Elder also snorted, "Fortunately, the Ling family has been completely destroyed now. That brat won't be jumping around for much longer!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Changsheng and Qin Yuansheng exchanged glances, their eyes filled with bitterness.
The Ling family was destroyed, but Ling Tian had the support of the Son of Heaven of the Son of Heaven Faction.
They had heard of this person.
It was said that this person was also a Star Fate martial artist!
A Star Fate martial artist was a martial artist who had awakened their Star Gate, and martial artists of this level were rare geniuses.
Awakening the Star Gate allowed one to draw upon the power of the stars within their body for cultivation, and their realm would continuously increase. They could even obtain Star Spirit Arts from the Nine Heavens Stars!
From ancient times to the present, Star Fate martial artists, unless they died young, all became famous and influential figures.
