My Wife is A Sword God

Chapter 649: The Beginning of Surprises

Chapter 649: The Beginning of Surprises

Three days had passed, and Qin Feng hadn’t had those nightmares in those nights, but he was still worried.

In the courtyard, after the Golden Winged Great Peng underwent the baptism of Righteous Qi, its golden feathers suddenly emitted a burst of golden light, pulling Qin Feng back from his thoughts to reality.

He curiously looked at the glowing Golden Winged Great Peng and asked, “What’s wrong with you?”

The Golden Winged Great Peng closed his eyes and sensed carefully for a while before opening them again and replying, “I don’t know why, but I feel that there is a mysterious aura between Heaven and Earth that greatly benefits my cultivation.”

“Whenever I circulate the Ancient Divine Breath in my body, this mysterious aura seems to be attracted to me.”

“That aura… it’s similar to the diluted Ancient Divine Breath.”

“I have a feeling that the realm of the Eight Calamity Cycle is within reach.”

The possibility of the Golden Winged Great Peng’s strength increasing was indeed something to be happy about, but Qin Feng’s worries outweighed this joy.

There had been too many strange events lately, and he couldn’t help but connect them.

The sun was slowly sinking below the horizon, and the stars were emitting a faint light.

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door of the Qin residence.

The gatekeeper opened the door to see a man and a woman standing outside. When he clearly saw the man’s face, he became excited and exclaimed, “Second Young Master, you’re back?”

“Mmm,” Qin An’s smile seemed somewhat forced.

…

In the main hall of the Qin residence, the entire family had gathered.

When Qin An saw that his two sisters-in-law were pregnant, he was stunned at first, but then he sincerely congratulated them.

At the dinner table, Second Mother inquired with genuine concern about Second Brother’s experiences in the Southern Domain.

Second Brother recounted his trials and tribulations since leaving the Imperial City, detailing the hardships and dangers he faced in the Southern Domain far beyond what his monthly letters could contain.

During this time, Second Brother often wanted to communicate with Qin Feng, but every time he saw the two sisters-in-law’s bulging bellies, a thousand words were swallowed back.

How could this unusual behavior be hidden from Qin Feng and Father Qin? 

Especially Qin Feng, who had such strange dreams, and considering the recent upheavals in the Southern Domain, he only assumed that Second Brother’s sudden return must have been triggered by something he encountered there.

As the jovial dinner drew to a close, Qin An and Senior Yu Mei exchanged a glance, then excused themselves from the hall and left to inform the Heavenly Tower National Teacher of their experiences in the Southern Domain.

In the corridor, Yu Mei asked, “You mentioned before you came that you wanted to talk to your elder brother about this. Why are you hesitating now?”

Qin An thought for a moment before replying, “Big Brother’s strategy is second to none, and he has faced numerous crises before. At first, I thought that after hearing about this matter, he would surely have some ideas.”

“But both sisters-in-law are pregnant and need companionship now.”

“If I tell Big Brother about the situation in the southern territory, knowing his character, he will definitely not sit idly by. It’s very likely that he will return to the Southern Domain with us, which I don’t want to see.”

“In the past, Big Brother always stepped forward, but this time, it should be my turn.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a bolt of white thunder suddenly struck him with lightning speed. 

Qin An frowned, but he reacted in an instant.

Qi surged around his body, and golden light suddenly appeared on his right hand. 

A long knife as clear as white jade appeared, and then he swung it violently, and the blade qi instantly swallowed up the white thunder

“Who is it?!” Qin An shouted. 

Yu Mei glanced to the side, her eyebrows slightly raised.

A familiar voice echoed, “At the peak of the fourth tier of Divine Martial Arts, with a blade intent cultivated to the fourth tier, it’s no wonder you’re so confident. Fortunately, your thoughts are not all focused on that girl Bai Qui, otherwise you would not be able to reach such strength.”

After all, women can only affect the speed of drawing the blade. The reason why Senior Mad Blade is unparalleled in blade is because the straight man has advanced cancer and can never see Senior Yu Mei’s affection… Qin Feng silently added in his heart. 

Qin An looked at the sound and then exclaimed, “Big Brother, when did you arrive?”

“I’ve been here since you started talking to Senior Yu.”

“When we were in the hall, I sensed that you were worried, and indeed…”

“Tell me, what exactly happened in the Southern Domain?”

“Big Brother, you’d better not get involved. Sister-in-law and the others…”

Before he could finish, Qin Feng interrupted, “Don’t forget, I practice the Literature Saint tradition and possess divination techniques. Even if you don’t tell me, I can figure it out; it’s just a waste of time. Besides, since you still consider me your big brother, how could I let you face danger alone?”

Listening to Qin Feng’s sincerity, Qin An couldn’t help but be touched, and finally, he revealed that he had encountered two extraordinary beings.

“…The white deer called him the Lord of the Marsh. Listening to what the latter said, it seemed that some terrible disaster was about to happen in the southern region.” 

“He did not harm our lives, but instead instructed us to take this matter back to the Imperial City and inform the National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower.”

“The seven-colored horned white deer…” Qin Feng muttered to himself, his face showing a pensive expression. If he remembered correctly, when the Bi Fang Fire Poison was rampant, Mu Youqian had mentioned its existence.

It was this white deer that prompted Mu Youqian to seek help from Jinyang City, thus averting a greater disaster after Bi Fang’s death.

“The Transcendence Realm, which transcends the limitations of Heaven and Earth, is an extremely rare existence in the world.”

“But listening to the Lord of the Marsh, it seems like there are still many such beings sleeping under the heavens?”

At this thought, Qin Feng frowned. Among the human race, the only known Transcendence Realm powerhouses are the Heavenly Tower National Teacher and the Divine Guardian.

If there are many other Transcendence Realm Demons and Ghosts in the world, and they have evil intentions toward the human race, what can the human race rely on to resist them?

You must understand that once the power reaches such a realm, the gap cannot be made up by quantity alone!

Why did God give me such a test during my Wife’s pregnancy… Qin Feng pinched the center of his brows and felt exhausted: “Where’s Senior Zhen Tianyi, didn’t he come with you?” 

“This matter is of great importance, and the Master went to report to the Southern Domain Commander.”

Qin Feng nodded at the words, only to hear his younger brother say again, “Brother, in my opinion, it’s best not to tell anyone at home about this matter, so that they don’t worry.”

“Of course, it’s only natural.”

As soon as the words fell, a fierce wind arose.

A powerful pressure surged towards the two of them.

Qin Feng immediately unleashed the Heavenly Mirror, while Qin An once again wielded the Bone Forged Blade in an attempt to resist the pressure.

However, in the face of this sudden and terrifying pressure, their resistance was useless. Their legs felt like they were filled with lead, and thier stature diminished instantly.

“Who is this powerful?!” Qin An gritted his teeth. 

“You have only just entered the fourth rank realm, yet you dare to face such extraordinary encounters without even informing your family, thinking that you can handle it on your own. Shall I say that you are brave like a newborn calf who doesn’t fear the tiger, or shall I say that you are ignorant of life and death?”

From the rooftop came a deep, stern voice that sounded strangely familiar to Qin An.

Qin Feng’s expression stiffened upon hearing this. His old man had definitely been there from the beginning, just like him, how else could he make such a grand entrance like him?

“Dad, stop fooling around and retract the pressure.”

Whoosh!

As the words fell, a figure descended from the sky. Wasn’t it Father Qin?

“Huh?” Qin An’s eyes widened in disbelief.

He stared blankly at Father Qin for a moment, then turned to Qin Feng and asked, “Brother, did Father just release the pressure?”

Qin Feng nodded and then truthfully revealed his father’s identity.

However, when Qin An heard the three words “Northern Ghost Head”, he felt like his entire brain went blank.

How could he have imagined that his most unreliable father had such a terrifying identity!

You must know that Northern Ghost Head is a legendary Commander as famous as Nan Tianlong, a person who is famous throughout The Great Qian! 

On the side, Yu Mei’s expression also changed slightly. Although she and Zhen Tianyi had long known that Father Qin was no ordinary person, the identity of the Northern Ghost Head was still beyond their imagination.

After repeated confirmation, Qin An finally believed this absurd fact…

“So, Big Brother, you knew about Father’s true identity a long time ago? Am I the only one in this household who’s been kept in the dark?” Qin An complained, feeling like he was being treated like an outsider.

“Although I had my doubts before, the real confirmation came after our trip to the western regions. Besides you and me, only Jianli and Feilan know about Father’s identity.”

“Besides, think about Father’s usual behavior. Who would associate him with the Northern Ghost Head? It took me a long time to accept this fact,” Qin Feng said seriously.

“Huh?” Father Qin looked confused.

“Well, that’s true,” Qin An thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Father Qin paused for a moment before speaking seriously, “I will inform the National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower about this matter. You two rest well at the Qin Manor.”

As a father, he naturally didn’t want his two sons to risk their lives.

In the face of the transcendent, even a second-tier martial artist like him might not be able to come out unscathed, let alone two fourth-tier individuals?

Qin An was about to say something, but Qin Feng, sensing his father’s thoughts, reached out to stop him: “Father, you go, I’ll take care of things at home.”

“Alright.”

…

With Father Qin’s strength, it only took a moment to travel from the Qin Mansion to the Heavenly Tower atop the Grand Literature Academy.

After listening to Father Qin’s words, the National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower didn’t say much, just nodded slightly.

From his demeanor, it seemed like he already knew everything.

Father Qin didn’t waste words either, and spoke directly with a deep voice, “I may not know what you’re planning, but whatever happens next, don’t involve my two sons. Otherwise, it won’t end well for you and me.”

Hearing this, the National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower turned around and said lightly, “Without skin, where would the hair go?”

“Don’t lecture me with these high-sounding principles. I’m just a rough man who practices martial arts. Calculations and schemes, that’s your job.”

Father Qin knew that his words and actions were somewhat unreasonable at this moment, but Feng’er’s dreams and the news brought by An made him extremely uneasy.

He thought of Feng’er’s deceased mother and hated his own powerlessness back then.

He would never allow that to happen again.

The two men gazed at each other and the atmosphere became a bit heavy.

The National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower first looked away and said, “Have you ever considered that even if I pull them out, I cannot change their own will? If they want to go themselves, then what?”

“As long as you don’t conspire against my two sons, I will take care of the rest myself. If they won’t listen, then a beating will do. If a beating doesn’t work, I’ll keep beating them until they do.”

Isn’t it natural for a father to discipline his sons?

“Okay, I promise you.” 

After receiving the reply, Father Qin breathed a sigh of relief. 

He knew that since the Heavenly Tower National Teacher had made a promise, he would do everything in his power to get Feng’er and An’er out of this crisis. His own task was simply to go back and warn the two boys not to put themselves in danger.

“Thank you,” Father Qin expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

Just as he was about to leave, the Heavenly Tower National Teacher, who was standing with his hands behind his back, suddenly spoke again, “And what about you?

Father Qin’s figure paused at the words, his face showing a struggle. After a moment, he slowly said, “I will take action.”

In such a disaster, if no one intervened, it would eventually affect the entire Great Qian. His strength was indispensable to the human race!

In addition, there was another reason – combined with Feng’er’s dream and Nantian Long’s words, the drum that invaded Imperial City and killed Feng’er’s mother is very likely to appear again in the Southern Territory. He wanted to put an end to the regret of that time!

The night wind blew and lifted the white hair of the National Teacher of the Heavenly Tower.

On the empty top of the Heavenly Tower, a sigh went up into the night.

Since ancient times, the most difficult thing to change was the human heart.

Actually, no calculation was necessary. The moment Qin Jian’an said he would take action, fate had already set its course.

Fathers don’t want their sons to take risks, but sons are no different.

…

A waning moon hung in the sky with scattered dark clouds.

It was a dark and windy night.

Outside the Heavenly City in the southern region, Jiaming City, a giant black-eyed vajra suddenly manifested, brandishing a demon-subduing staff and swinging it violently toward the city.

Immediately, there was a loud rumble like the sound of a battle horn.

The city’s protective barrier shattered, and the Garuda with human body and bird wings flapped its wings in the night sky, its eyes filled with bloodthirsty intent.

The people in the city were awakened, unaware of what had happened, and hastily pulled back their blankets and looked out of the windows.

The fiery clouds in the night sky were so bright.

“Demons and ghosts are invading the city!” Everyone had such thoughts in their hearts, and fear gripped their hearts like ghostly hands.

With such a sudden change, the soldiers guarding Jiaming City and the Demon Slaying Department naturally sprang into action.

The head of the Demon Slaying Department, Jiang Ming, one of the Thirty-Six Stars, a practitioner of the Hundred Ghost Dao Lineage, immediately used the Puppet Shadow Technique and manifested a dark hand to lift himself into the air.

As he looked at the demons and ghosts in the clear sky and recognized them as members of the Garuda Clan, his expression changed drastically: : “Why is there no news about the Garuda tribe stepping out of Zhenling Pass?” 

In his astonishment, a voice sounded not far from Jiang Ming: “Ask someone else after you die.”

Jiang Ming’s heart trembled. He hurriedly looked in the direction of the voice, and in an instant, an arrow tore through the night and pierced his skull.

Cries of shock and despair echoed throughout Jiaming City.
