Chapter 89: Pursuit Over a Thousand Miles

To fail to devise a good plan when his companions were taken hostage was foolish. To hesitate when he should have acted decisively, to linger when he should have fled, showed indecisiveness. To fail to control his subordinates properly, ultimately leading to a great disaster, showed he couldn’t enforce orders. To be unable to stop an error, and instead compound it, not only missing the main target but also attempting to silence witnesses… this… this was simply the kind of thing only a damned idiot would do!

At that time, Qin Hongyuan cursed fiercely just like that. Immediately, he personally brought a banknote for a million taels of silver and over ten Earth Rank Spirit Beasts, and personally rushed to the Mo Family to personally apologize to Mo Feifei!

This gesture showed immense respect. No matter how much hatred Mo Feifei held in her heart for the brothers Qin Feng and Qin Hu, faced with this big shot from Huangsha City, she couldn’t bring herself to say words of rejection.

Qin Hongyuan, for the sake of his two grandsons, compensated with money and lowered his head, finally settling the matter. Then, he vented all his anger onto Qin Li’s head.

After making a trip to the Shangguan Family, he returned and announced: Qin Li was expelled from the Qin Family! He had committed an unforgivable crime, and a bounty of a hundred thousand taels of silver was now placed on Qin Li’s capture!

At the same time, the Shangguan Family Head, Shangguan Buhui, also publicly announced: After deliberation, the Shangguan Family unanimously decided that the engagement between Qin Li and the young lady of the Shangguan Family, Shangguan Shiyu, was nullified.

However, Mo Feifei, who originally hated Qin Li the most, begged her father not to get involved. Mo Feifei was willful and spoiled, but in the eyes of her friends, wasn’t she also righteous and generous? Her brain wasn’t stupid at all. She had liked Qin Feng, really liked him a lot, but after recognizing Qin Feng’s true nature, she completely gave up on that idea. She could never forget that sword strike from Qin Li descending from the sky… it was just like a celestial being flying down from the heavens!

At that moment, Mo Feifei even thought she was doomed!

Later, when Qin Li held her hostage, that coldness and killing intent, she could never forget it in her lifetime. She was so foolish, why did she choose to oppose him?

She wouldn’t do it again, never again!

What made Qin Hongyuan angry didn’t stop there. After this matter was settled, the people sent by the Qin Family finally found those two little beastly grandsons and brought them back home.

He originally thought the two would feel remorse for their foolishness, but what Qin Hongyuan didn’t expect was that Qin Feng and Qin Hu actually said in unison that they regretted letting Mo Feifei escape, saying that if they had killed that little bitch, the Qin Family wouldn’t have lost so much face!

This made Qin Hongyuan so angry that he immediately slapped Qin Feng and Qin Hu twice each. From childhood to adulthood, this was the first time he had hit his two beloved grandsons.

If he weren’t utterly furious, how could he have done this?

And the hatred Qin Feng and Qin Hu held for Qin Li had also reached its peak. They clamored that when Qin Li returned to Huangsha City, they would tear him to pieces.

Finally, Qin Hongyuan, despite it being only a few days until the New Year, kicked his two grandsons back to the Imperial Capital. Rather than having them here being an eyesore and upsetting, it was better to have them get far away.

Little did he know, it was precisely this kick that left a trace of the Qin Family’s bloodline.

…

Qin Li’s Lightness Skill made the two pursuing Qin Family Ancestors sigh in admiration. The two of them could almost be certain that this damned young man’s strength might not even reach Earth Rank, yet he could slip away from their hands repeatedly like a loach!

This chase had already lasted a full day!

Watching as the sky grew dark, that kid was still running ahead full of energy. The two elders thought with extreme frustration: Isn’t he tired?

The most infuriating thing was that this kid didn’t care at all whether there were powerful Spirit Beasts ahead, just charging forward recklessly. Relying on his super speed, he flew over their territories like a gust of wind. By the time the Spirit Beasts realized what happened and before they could even decide whether to give chase, the two Qin Family elders arrived. Thus, the Spirit Beasts became completely enraged: Endless harassment? Do you think my place is the city gate?

The two unlucky Heavenly Rank high-level experts not only had to divide their attention to track Qin Li’s movements, but also had to deal with these furious Spirit Beasts. As a result, they should have caught this kid long ago, but even by nightfall, they still hadn’t caught up to Qin Li!

They weren’t having an easy time, and Qin Li was also having a hard time. Although he possessed peerless Lightness Skill and his body contained Innate Purple Qi, which far surpassed ordinary Prime Force, he ultimately couldn’t match the stamina of two Heavenly Rank Martial Artists’ Prime Force.

In short, the quality of his Prime Force was high, but he couldn’t match their sheer quantity!

If it weren’t for the assistance of Spirit Beasts of various strengths along the way, he would have probably given up fleeing long ago. Fighting desperately, even if he died, he could at least take them down with him. But like this, fleeing desperately to the ends of the earth, he didn’t know when it would end.

Seeing the sky darken, the elder of the two Qin Family elders, Qin Hengtian, grew anxious and shouted, “You little beast, stop right there for your grandpa!”

The younger one, Qin Hengdi, also shouted, “You little bastard, I’ll skin you alive today! Do you have any idea how much trouble your shout caused for my Qin Family?”

“Nonsense, I was just shouting for fun! So what? Not allowed? Well, I shouted anyway! Hmph, I was just going for a swim in the water, and you guys actually tried to kill me for my wealth! So, I framed you, haha, come and catch me!”

“Damn it! You little beast, I will definitely kill you!” Qin Hengtian was so angry he almost spat blood. This little bastard wasn’t just slippery and hard to catch, his words were so sharp too. Dammit, taking a bath in Phoenix Lake? How many heads do you have?

“Young man, stop, let’s talk properly, how about it?” After venting, Qin Hengdi calmed down and felt this wasn’t the way to go. This kid’s stamina was far from exhausted. And his shout was definitely a fatal blow to the Qin Family. One could imagine, by now there must be many people returning to Huangsha City, aiming for the Qin Family.

“Stop? Stop your big head ghost!” Qin Li cursed while running, “You two old things who don’t know shame, old sticks! Do you think your young master is stupid? That’s right, I did get countless treasures from Phoenix Lake, so what? I was lucky! Heh, if you want them, come chase me! If you catch me, maybe they’ll be yours!”

“Good, good! You little beast, if I don’t kill you, I swear I won’t be human!” Qin Hengtian had a short temper and had long been infuriated by Qin Li. If he knew that this young man was actually a junior from his own family, a genuine grandson in the literal sense… he would probably die of anger on the spot.

“Brother, this isn’t working. This kid only has speed, no other strong points. You keep chasing, I need to return to the family to check. If things really get out of hand, it will be bad!”

“Alright, second brother, you go ahead. I must kill this kid to vent my anger!”

Qin Li suddenly felt the pressure from behind decrease sharply. Glancing out of the corner of his eye, he saw one of them fly away. He immediately understood and sneered, “What? Don’t dare chase me anymore? Heh, the one who left, aren’t you afraid the remaining one will take the Phoenix Lake treasures for himself?”

“Take for himself your ancestor’s egg!” Qin Hengtian saw Qin Li’s figure hesitate slightly and immediately swung his palm, sending a dark blue sharp edge slashing towards Qin Li.

Qin Li suddenly accelerated, dodging the attack, and muttered, “Can you guys even lay eggs?”

He originally didn’t have the slightest sense of belonging to the Qin Family, let alone these two Heavenly Rank experts who were already distantly related to him, separated by five generations or even seven or eight generations. So, facing these Qin Family ancestors who wanted to kill him, Qin Li held no respect for them at all.

The two, one chasing and one fleeing, didn’t run too fast at night, almost both recovering their stamina. Qin Li saw another huge mountain appear ahead, towering into the clouds. In the darkness, it looked like a giant monster lying there.

Qin Li’s body suddenly sank downwards, immediately entering the primeval forest.

The pursuing Qin Hengtian was startled, then overjoyed. This kid was chased stupid, actually seeking his own death. Hmph, never mind the dense forest being inconvenient for running, the powerful Spirit Beasts inside were enough to devour him! I’ll just follow you from above, see where you can run to!

But the idea was good, yet immediately after, Qin Hengtian discovered a fact that made him fly into a rage: that little beast’s aura… had disappeared!
