Qin got speechless after getting his response. He never thought Xiao Lan would give such a reply. But, he quickly calmed down and put the sword in his spatial ring. With Guo Min, he doesn't need anyone else to help him for forging.
"Do you think it is a good idea to kill someone and run away?" Yue Bin smirked and asked.
"Well, sometimes running away is a good idea. Not to mention, nobody saw us killing this old man." Qin nodded his head and walked out of the store. As for Battle Dragon Sect, he wasn't worried even a bit.
After ten minutes,
Few middle-aged men arrived at the store and found the old man dead.
"Damn! He got away. We should have told this guy not to mess around right now." One of the middle-aged men clenched his fist and spoke with a bloodthirsty tone.
Another middle-aged man walked near the corpse and analyzed it. Then, he turned his head at others and said "Elder wasn't wrong. That guy has the power of Revolving Core Realm cultivator at Qi Gathering Realm. We can't mess around just like this guy."
"Let's return back to the family and let them decide." Another man spoke and three of them left the store.
After a few minutes, they reached in front of the mansion. It was guarded by ten guards wearing silver armor at the front gate. The guards didn't stop them since they could recognize them easily. Those three men walked inside the mansion where seven people were sitting in the circle discussing with each other.
Three of them were women while four of them were men. Seeing those three men, those seven people stopped talking.
"Elders, the old man is dead. The elder from the sect didn't lie. His strength seems to be at the Revolving Core Realm." Three of them bowed down and one of them spoke.
Hearing his words, seven elders stared at each other. Their eyes glint with dangerous auras and one of the men spoke "Let's get rid of him as soon as he comes out. He can't join the ranking."
"But, his strength is enough to join the ranking. It has already been circulating throughout the Battle Dragon Sect. If they learn about him, we could get in trouble." Another elder spoke.
One of the ladies smirked and spoke "Why must we make enemy with him? Why can't we simply forget about this or even build a good relationship with him?"
"You know exactly why." The male elder spoke while rubbing his beard. He turned his head at those three as he paused and stared at them. Those three men instantly left the mansion.
"We can't let Tan Family rise else Royal Family will kill us." The male elder continued as they left.
"Tch! Why do we need to fear those royals? It's not like they can openly kill us. And, if they want to work in dark, when did we start to fear them? If they want to fight then let the Heaven Smiting Cauldron eat them alive." Another lady snorted and spoke with disdain on her face.
"And, then what? Reveal everyone that we have a divine weapon? Don't forget, we might have the divine weapon. But, we don't have the strength to keep it. Just like the Tan family, the history of Heaven Smiting Cauldron has been wiped out from the history because of our ancestors." The male elder with a slightly young face spoke.
Other male elders had old look but three ladies looked quite young and beautiful. Hearing his words, everyone else turned silent as he continued "Don't forget why the royal family asked us to keep Tan family in check?"
"Just like us, they also have many inheritances left and especially that bloodline. They don't want to trouble Tan's family because they knew they would be wiped out. The ancestor of Tan Family is not a normal Great Emperor."
"If he was in the ranking, his strength would be in the top ten regardless of his realm. For now, let's just focus on one thing. Since he has killed our member, we have every bit of right to kill him. But, don't go and make trouble in the sect."
"Let's release our shadow guards to trial him. As soon as he comes out, all seven of us will go out and kill him. And, if he doesn't come out for a long time, we will just let him be. We will kill if he is weak, and we will make peace if he is strong. That's how our Tu Family proceed, understand?"
Hearing his words, other elders nodded their heads. Yes, this is how they proceed. They don't mind bowing to strong and stumbling the weak. As long as it benefits them and does not harm them, they will do everything in their power.
At this moment, Qin and Yue Bin had already returned back to the sect. The sect had already got the information about Qin's action but they didn't make any move. It's not their people who died, so why care about anything?
Not to mention, they didn't want to offend Qin at this moment. After coming back to the sect, Yue Bin revealed that she was also allowed to enter the Secret Mansion. She revealed her cultivation to the elders and got the approval to enter the Secret Mansion.
The head elder leads Qin and Yue Bin to the secret mansion. At this moment, everyone else was already waiting for Qin and Yue Bin. After they reached in front of the mansion, they encountered others. Qin was surprised when he saw Luo Xie.
This was the same girl he tried to flirt with and didn't expect it to work so flawlessly. Later, he found his flirting skill suck and it was something else that made Luo Xie attracted towards him but after that encounter, they never talk.
And, he never got the chance to understand the reason.
"Now that everyone is gathered here, let me tell you something about the Secret Mansion." The head elder moved to the middle and spoke.
Hearing his words, everyone turned their heads at him and waited for his words.
The head elder nodded at their attention and continued "The Secret Mansion might be an opportunity for you but it might become your hell as well. Inside the mansion, you will be asked to play some games. Those games might be life-threatening or simply just random mortal games."
"But, if you lose, you will be kicked out of the mansion. You must understand this. And, if you pass, you can enter the Library of Secret Mansion. Inside the library, you can find all of the information gathered from the millennium years of experience of Battle Dragon Sect."
"And, remember one more thing. You must comprehend everything inside the mansion. You are not allowed to bring anything outside from the inside. There is a certain prohibition inside the mansion and if you come out with anything that can be touched, then you will be instantly punished by the mansion."
"The best case would be letting you leave and the worst case will be your death. Of course, someone inside the mansion will also give you this instruction but some people do not follow this rule. So be careful inside the Secret Mansion."
Everyone was quite startled after learning this information about the Secret Mansion. None of them know much about it. Secret Mansion was only referenced a few times in their time within the sect. That's why they only know a few things.
After speaking to them, the head elder pointed at the door of the huge golden mansion and spoke "Once you reach in front of the door, take out your token immediately. As long as you have the token, you can enter the mansion. Alright, I shall leave now."
Saying so, the head elder finally left the top ten alone.
Clap! Clap!
Suddenly, Lan Ming clasped a few times and attracted their attention to him.
"Since we will be going in together, how about we introduce ourselves to each other? And, by introduction, I don't mean name. I mean your special quality. As you have heard the head elder, we will be playing some games inside."
"And, for some reason, I doubt it would be as easy as mortal games. Heck! Even mortal games would be quite terrifying if your cultivation and physical strength is suppressed. As you have heard, we can't bring anything outside."
Hearing his words, everyone looked at him with weird gazes and thought to themselves.
'Why is he acting like a leader? Does he like leading people?'
While they were thinking, Yue Bin pulled Qin's cloth and said "I think this is the reason why elders let me enter the Secret Mansion."
Qin nodded his head and whispered "Your cultivation improved fiercely. And, you told them that you have Dragon Bloodline allowing you to under dragon-related technique and martial art easily. The sect sees this as an opportunity."
"I think there will be vast knowledge of dragon inside the Secret Mansion since this sect derives its name from the dragon. If I am not wrong, then they must have a doubt whether you can inherit the title of sect master because of your bloodline."
