Chapter 170: Martial Arts Supervisory Department
Facing the impending pressure, Qin Chuan merely smiled.
“Break!”
In an instant, Qi Chang’s aura shattered like an eggshell.
Qi Chang was stunned.
At the same time, all the people whose level was above Grandmaster were astonished.
Little did they know that they would only continue to get shocked.
Qin Chuan’s body slowly rose against the laws of physics. His aura was like a surging river.
Soon, his aura had enveloped the entire arena.
For a moment, the air was silent.
Everyone raised their heads and looked at the rising figure. They could not help but swallow their saliva, their eyes filled with horror.
In midair.
Qin Chuan stood at the height of around tenth stories, looking down at the arena below. His gaze was fixed on Qi Chang.
“Lift your head and look up. A nobody has to look like a nobody.”
The pressure of a Golden Core cultivator immediately descended on Qi Chang.
Qi Chang felt as if the sky was collapsing on his body.
Under Qin Chuan’s suppression, Qi Chang was lying on the ground like a worm. The ground beneath him gradually cracked and sank by a few centimeters.
When everyone saw this, their hearts tightened, and a cold sweat broke out on their bodies. Fear pierced their very souls.
“Great Master Qin, I was wrong.” Qi Chang, who had fallen into the ground, pleaded loudly. He was filled with the desire to live.
His shout instantly broke the silence.
Qin Chuan remained silent, and the pressure continued to press down on Qi Chang.
Qi Chang begged without end, but Qin Chuan ignored him.
Ka ka ka!
The sound of bones shattering rang out from Qi Chang’s body.
“Great Master Qin, I know I was wrong. Please spare my life!” Qi Chang endured the pain and shouted helplessly.
Qin Chuan had a calm expression on his face as he coldly replied, “Stepping on disgusting worms is natural. Do you understand now?”
As the sound of his voice faded, Qin Chuan pressed down on Qi Chang’s body, causing the pressure on him to intensify.
Pu!
Under that powerful pressure, Qi Chang died on the spot. It looked as if a tomato had been stepped on.
A Connate martial artist was gone in seconds.
The arena was deathly silent.
The three Connate martial artists from the Cao family hurriedly knelt and kowtowed to Qin Chuan.
“Great Master Qin, we failed to recognize a formidable person. Please forgive us!”
At the same time, the Qi family’s Connate martial artist, Qi Yuan, knelt down.
His face was pale, and his entire body was covered in a cold sweat. His body was trembling, and he couldn’t even speak coherently.
Qin Chuan gazed at the horizon as he leisurely spoke, “Break an arm and a leg each, and I will let you go.”
The three of them felt their hearts turn cold.
But soon, the three Connate martial artists acted decisively.
Ka ka ka!
They circulated their internal energy and broke one of their arms and legs.
To a cultivator, the integrity of their body was very important. However, compared to their life, this price was nothing.
Qi Yuan was also very decisive.
Ka ka!
“Great Master Qin, we have already broken our arms and legs,” said the three Connate realm warriors and Qi Yuan fearfully.
“Scram.” Qin Chuan spat out.
“Thank you for not killing us, Great Master Qin.”
Soon, the Qi and Cao families left the arena in a sorry state.
Qin Chuan landed back on the ground.
Li Jingchen stared at Qin Chuan in shock. He was overwhelmed with emotions and didn’t know where to start.
He recalled what Qin Chuan had said earlier, “Even Land Immortals must bow when they see me.”
He wasn’t not joking.
Although he had never seen a Land Immortal after they became a legend, they would certainly be nothing compared to Qin Chuan!
Patriarch Li, let the ceremony continue!” Qin Chuan casually reminded.
Li Jingchen paused before replying, “Yes!”
Just like this, under the shocked gazes of the crowd, Qin Chuan calmly walked out.
The ceremony proceeded smoothly, but the atmosphere was not as festive as usual. Instead, it was a little heavy.
The people of the Li Clan treated Qin Chuan as if he was the emperor of ancient times. They were deeply afraid that they would be killed because of an insignificant action or voice.
And after the ceremony ended, Qin Chuan chose to leave.
It was also on this day that the situation in the Hundred Thousand Mountains changed.
The first was the Cao Family. On the same day, they announced that they would gift the few good districts that they occupied to the Li Family. At the same time, they also provided a large number of cultivation resources.
Although the other martial arts families were not as generous as the Cao family, they still gave the Li family magnanimous gifts.
…
In the capital.
In the large conference room, the leaders of the various departments gathered together. They did not understand why a meeting was being held so urgently.
Many people wondered if the monsters were back again.
Presently, the head of the National Security Bureau was sitting in the main seat with a solemn expression.
Sitting to his left was the head of the Martial Arts Supervisory Department, and to his right was a general.
The people noticed them and immediately thought of something.
After a moment of silence, the head of the National Security Bureau said, “The reason why I gathered everyone here today is that there’s a situation with the martial arts families in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. I hope everyone can share their opinions.”
“Martial arts families?”
“It’s this group again.”
“What trouble did they cause this time?”
“Do they really need blood to be spilled before they behave?”
“Everyone, quiet down!” The head of the National Security Bureau knocked on the table.
“Now, let’s have Chief Lu of the Martial Arts Supervisory Department explain the situation.”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone’s gazes focused on Chief Lu.
The Martial Arts Supervisory Department was a department unique to Xia Country. It was specialized in managing the martial artists in the country, and most importantly, the 36 martial arts families in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
They were aware of the duel that happened between the Li family and the Qi family.
Lu Dewei didn’t beat around the bush. “Today, a martial artist suspected to be a Land Immortal appeared in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.”
“What?”
“Land Immortals?”
Everyone was surprised when they heard this term.
The people sitting here were all the higher-ups of the various departments in Xia Country. They were aware of the many unknown secrets in the world and were naturally more aware of their own country’s situation.
In other words, they all knew what it meant to be a Land Immortal.
These people no longer belonged to the category of humans. They were almost gods.
That was why they were called Land Immortals.
“Minister Lu, what are the chances that he’s a Land Immortal?” someone asked.
Lu Dewei replied without thinking, “About eighty percent.”
Tss!
Everyone was shocked, and the atmosphere instantly became restless.
80% chance was no longer considered a suspicion. It was a certainty.
“Chief Lu, we’ve confirmed that there’s a high chance that he’s a Land Immortal. Why do you need our opinions?
“Land Immortals have already broken the hazard rating!”
Lu Dewei nodded. “According to the hazard rating, Land Immortals are the most important targets to eliminate. However, the world is changing now, and we need this power.”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone’s expressions changed. Some were surprised, some were worried, and some were puzzled…
At this moment, the general started speaking, “I understand that everyone has many doubts. Let me explain the reasons!”
