System's Super Sect-Chapter 449 - 447, Hope Descends

Without close kin by his side, or a knife held to his close kin’s throat, Qin Hai’s backbone is firm.

Qin Tian was indeed injured by the patriarch, and those few elders in the Profound Realm from the main lineage were indeed captured by them. They had seized the advantage, but all the Qin Family members on the island were watching. If they truly decided to kill the main lineage members, they would be branded with infamy—that’s Qin Hai’s worst-case scenario which he refused to retreat from.

The aim of this coup is to establish a Three-star Influence above East Lake; if they can avoid infamy, it’s best to do so.

"See that? Don’t let Qin Mo escape again. Assign people in the air to guard for twelve hours straight. In short, as tight as possible, the goal is to tell Qin Hai, once Qin Mo returns, he’ll never leave again!" Qin Chuan laughed heartily twice, his gaze sweeping over the two clan leaders from branch families beside him.

"Qin Hai has a good son, hahaha."

"If he hadn’t come back this time, our power seizure wouldn’t be so easy."

The two stood up, supporting each other, and laughed heartily.

They could imagine that Qin Hai’s intestines were almost twisted with regret now.

The worst fear has come true.

After the laughter came the contemplation.

Who is the master of that Great Demon? It’s still unclear.

Their spies in the main lineage don’t hold very high positions; what they can see and hear is indeed limited.

"Qin Chuan, who else do you think it is?"

The other two clan leaders from branch families began to ponder.

However, Qin Chuan didn’t think much and just responded faintly, "Want to know who it is? You’ll know by tomorrow. I don’t believe that after Qin Mo joined a hidden sect, that sect would send a strong person to help with our family affair. His son, his talent is just like that, at most, he would only be an outer sect disciple in the hidden sect."

"Makes sense."

"With his talent, how could a hidden sect treasure him?"

The other two exchanged a smile.

...

Main lineage of the Qin Family.

Qin Mo’s return made Qin Hai quite uncomfortable.

He couldn’t sleep all night.

Although observing Qin Mo’s realm, he had reached Body Refinement at level 11, far more advanced than when he left home.

Logically, as a father, he should be happy.

Yet he couldn’t muster much of a smile.

Plus, Qin Tian patriarch was injured by Qin Ru’an, the strongest support for the main lineage was lost, making him even more worried.

As for Zhantian Qingxuan, he had no expectations, even though she was now an elder of the sect where Qin Mo resided. But what did Vortex Divine Artisan emphasize?

Emphasized neutrality, offending no one.

"Where’s Qin Shan?"

At breakfast at the family table, Qin Hai questioned Qin Mo.

He had clearly written to let him return.

Not coming is fine, but leaving Qin Mo to come alone.

Qin Mo was stunned by the sudden question, "Elder Qin took on a sect task, can’t come."

"Elder Qin?"

A beautiful woman at the side was taken aback, thinking she heard wrong.

This was Qin Mo’s mother, and also Qin Hai’s wife. For her son’s return, she was delighted, because what mother wouldn’t miss her son?

Zhantian Qingxuan took this moment to speak, "Clan Leader Qin, Elder Qin Shan is now one of the elders of our Immortal Sect."

"Qin Shan can also be an elder?" Qin Hai was somewhat speechless.

Qin Shan, only in the Lower Profound Realm?

How can he be an elder in a hidden sect?

Yet he didn’t realize the significance of the three words Immortal Sect.

Qin Tian hadn’t told him what sect Qin Mo had joined, and Qing Ran wouldn’t have thought of the Immortal Sect.

Previously, Qin Shan didn’t say, fearing reprimands from the clan leader.

Qin Tian didn’t say; there was no need.

Zhantian Qingxuan smiled faintly, without explaining this matter.

Qin Mo hurriedly interjected, "Dad, you specifically told Miao Yin not to let me see the letter, what exactly happened... our house door is broken."

"It doesn’t concern you, just focus on your cultivation, the family affairs are handled by us. Zhantian Master... May Qin certain request a favor from you?" Qin Shan can’t come, that’s fine. With Qin Mo back, it’s most distressing for him, unable to accept it.

To send away!

It’s the only way.

Zhantian Qingxuan responded, "Feel free to speak."

"Please Zhantian Master, take my son back to the sect." Saying this, Qin Hai stood up and bowed with clasped fists.

"Dad, I won’t leave."

Qin Mo protested aloud.

"You must leave!"

Qin Hai, made an even more resounding decision.

The beautiful woman beside couldn’t get a word in, knowing she couldn’t change her husband’s decision.

Zhantian Qingxuan smiled helplessly at the side, understanding Qin Hai, after all, parental hearts across the world are the same.

But she also understood Qin Mo.

"The Sect Leader said, since it is the Qin Family’s matter, it should be resolved by Qin Mo himself. However, I’ve known Elder Qin Shan for some time, he entrusted me to come check, so Clan Leader Qin Hai, directly tell what happened to the Qin Family. If I can help, I certainly will." Zhantian Qingxuan spoke straightforwardly.

"Master Zhantian!"

Qin Hai’s voice of reprimanding Qin Mo halted abruptly, his mouth gradually curved into a delightful smile.

After glancing at Qin Mo, Qin Hai began to speak candidly.

With Zhantian Qingxuan’s offer to help, it wouldn’t matter if Qin Mo knew.

The main lineage, there is hope!

Of course, from what he knew, Zhantian Qingxuan was only in the Upper Profound Realm, or perhaps Half-Step Divine Profound, not enough to fend off Qin Ru’an.

But behind Zhantian Qingxuan stands a hidden sect!

Zhantian Qingxuan being able to serve as an elder there proves their power certainly surpasses Three-star.

Once the smile faded, Qin Hai began narrating: "Everything is about the position of Patriarch, they wish to turn Flying Fish Island into a more powerful organization, but don’t want me to hold the clan leader position, and they fear Qin Mo becoming the next clan leader, hence they rebelled..."

"Grandfather?"

Suddenly, Qin Mo questioned.

As he didn’t understand why the branches didn’t fear Grandpa Qin Tian.

According to what he knew, Grandpa Qin Tian was Half-Step Divine Profound upon returning from the Secret Realm. Even though Qin Ru’an also achieved Half-Step Divine Profound, he shouldn’t be a match for Grandpa.

After all, the main lineage’s Vein Technique and Cultivation Technique were superior to the branches.

"Qin Ru’an broke through to Divine Profound Realm sometime, yesterday he attacked... patriarch, heavily injured." Qin Tian, although not his father, shares blood relations. Moreover, Qin Tian made Qin Mo always call him grandpa, having this closeness made Qin Hai sad when talking about him.

"Grandpa!"

Qin Mo wanted to rush out but suddenly paused.

Turning to Zhantian Qingxuan, he said: "Elder Qingxuan, can you give me a Life Cigar?"

He remembers Elder Zhantian Qingxuan has the Sect Leader’s Life Cigar.

"Here."

Zhantian Qingxuan generously handed over her only Life Cigar.

After receiving the cigar, Qin Mo immediately ran out.

Qin Hai couldn’t stop him.

Ultimately letting him go, he continued discussing the main lineage’s situation with Zhantian Qingxuan, hoping she would help the Qin Family’s main lineage through this crisis.

As Qin Mo ran out, suddenly a group arrived outside the Qin Family residence.

They gathered in clusters.

Clad in branch family clothing but brazenly walked into the Qin Family.
