Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 463 - 431: Seeing Father Again

"Zhuiri Ancestor is nearby, Father... he hasn’t been captured," Qin Qing said.

Qin Qing immediately pulled Qin Shuang along. "Come, sister, let’s go see Father."

"Okay!" Qin Shuang nodded obediently.

Qin Qing quickly arrived in the midst of a large mountain.

This was a stone cave.

Zhuiri Ancestor and Qin Yi were hiding in this stone cave.

It wasn’t long before Qin Qing found the place.

"Father!"

As Qin Qing entered the stone cave, he saw his father getting up to greet them.

"Qing’er!" Joy appeared on Qin Yi’s face as he hurried over and embraced Qin Qing and Qin Shuang. "Qing’er, Qin Shuang, how have you been during this time? Is everything okay in Tai’a?"

"Father, we are fine!" Qin Qing said.

"Yes, Father. We are all fine!" Qin Shuang also spoke.

"Master Qin." Zhuiri Ancestor walked over from behind and then knelt on the ground with a thump, saying to Qin Qing with guilt, "I’m sorry, Master Qin, I have let you down. The members of the Qin Residence have been captured by the Imperial Court..."

Qin Qing glanced at Zhuiri Ancestor.

On Zhuiri Ancestor’s body, Qin Qing sensed a somewhat insubstantial aura and, additionally, a gloomy aura of death.

It seemed that Zhuiri Ancestor’s situation was not very optimistic.

"Zhuiri Ancestor, please stand up first, and then we can talk," Qin Qing said.

"Yes, Master Qin!" Zhuiri Ancestor stood up.

At this time, Qin Yi also spoke, "Qin Qing, this matter can’t be blamed on the elder ancestor. The Imperial Court’s men launched a sudden attack that day. They had several high-level martial artists in the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, and... they used me to threaten the elder ancestor. In order to save me, he was poisoned and injured by them..."

"If not for the elder ancestor risking his life to save me, I would have been captured by them by now..."

Upon hearing this, Qin Qing nodded.

"Zhuiri Ancestor, you did nothing wrong. On the contrary, I should be the one thanking you!" Qin Qing looked at Zhuiri Ancestor, then walked over to check on his condition.

"The injuries aren’t very severe. That can be resolved quickly... The troublesome part is this poison..." Qin Qing’s brows furrowed.

"This is Red Moon Poison," Zhuiri Ancestor said.

"Red Moon Poison?" Qin Qing murmured, nodding slightly. He had felt that this poison was very familiar, but he couldn’t recall it at the moment. Now that he heard Zhuiri Ancestor mention it, he immediately understood.

"I’m all right... don’t worry about me for now," Zhuiri Ancestor added.

"Are you truly all right?" Qin Qing looked at Zhuiri Ancestor. He was well aware of how terrifying Red Moon Poison was; it could erode into the core of a martial artist’s elixir field and Soul Palace, especially for the elders in the Nascent Soul Realm - their Nascent Souls would be corrupted by the Red Moon Poison.

It was an extremely frightening poison, and there was only one way to cure it.

That was with the Wuji Pill!

However, the Wuji Pill was exceedingly rare, especially in Qian Country, as it was almost impossible to obtain. This was because among the primary ingredients required to concoct the Wuji Pill was a herb called Wuji Grass.

This spirit grass wasn’t cultivated in Qian Country.

Therefore, the Wuji Pill had to be imported from places outside Qian Country, which led to its extreme scarcity. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Even if it were available, each pill would sell at an unimaginably high price.

Zhuiri Ancestor’s brow creased slightly as the poison had already seeped into his elixir field and Soul Palace.

Now, even his Nascent Soul was suffering from terrible corrosion. The intense pain was almost unbearable, making every moment excruciating for him.

Saying he was all right to Qin Qing was nothing more than a forced display of endurance.

"Red Moon Poison requires a Wuji Pill for the antidote. I will have someone look for the Wuji Pill right away," Qin Qing continued, then he took out a Horn Token and contacted Liu Chuanyun.

Zhuiri Ancestor was taken aback.

Qin Qing asked someone to help find the Wuji Pill?

Who could Qin Qing possibly find to assist him?

He had no idea what Qin Qing’s circumstances were in the Tai’a Ancient Country, so naturally, he couldn’t imagine who Qin Qing might contact for help.

After Qin Qing sent out a message, he quickly received a response.

Liu Chuanyun happened to have a Wuji Pill.

"Let’s go to Tong Pass City," said Qin Qing.

The meeting place that Qin Qing and Liu Chuanyun agreed on was at Tong Pass.

After obtaining the Wuji Pill, Liu Chuanyun bid farewell and left.

Qin Qing handed the Wuji Pill to Zhuiri Ancestor, which left him momentarily unable to react.

"Master Qin... is... is this really the Wuji Pill?" Zhuiri Ancestor was still struggling to react.

Had Qin Qing really found the Wuji Pill in such a short time, the very pill that Zhuiri Ancestor himself had frantically struggled to acquire without success?

In that time, Zhuiri Ancestor had tried every possible method, but he couldn’t think of a way to obtain the Wuji Pill; he even inquired at all the major trading houses.

But the results were always the same: there was no Wuji Pill.

"This is the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion’s Wuji Pill. Take it immediately, and I will help you stabilize your injuries," said Qin Qing.

The group found an inn.

Inside the inn,

Qin Qing quickly began to help Zhuiri Ancestor with his injuries. With the nourishment of Qin Qing’s Qi-Blood, Zhuiri Ancestor’s physical injuries visibly started to heal at a remarkable rate.

After taking the Wuji Pill, the Red Moon Poison inside Zhuiri Ancestor’s body was quickly contained and began to be cleared out bit by bit.

But just then, a clamor suddenly erupted from outside the inn.

Qin Yi pushed open the window and looked out, his expression changing instantly.

"This isn’t good, it’s the Imperial Court’s men. Qin Qing, you need to leave quickly!" exclaimed Qin Yi.

"Master Qin, the main purpose of the Qian Imperial Clan abducting your clan members this time must be to lure you out!" added Zhuiri Ancestor hastily.

"Therefore, Qin Qing... you shouldn’t have come back. Leave now, right away!" Qin Yi said in a grave voice.

"No need!" A cold smile tugged at the corner of Qin Qing’s mouth, "Since I’ve returned this time, I have sufficient confidence. I don’t owe the Qian Royal Family anything, on the contrary, they owe me. My return this time is to reclaim what I once lost... and, if Qin Sheng dares to touch a hair on Uncle Two or Uncle Seven, I will ensure that the Qin Imperial Clan pays a blood debt in full!"

The words of Qin Qing left both Qin Yi and Zhuiri Ancestor in shock.

Could Qin Qing possibly be confident enough to confront the entire Great Qian’s Royal Family?

Of course, they didn’t think that Qin Qing’s power had reached that level.

However, they also knew that Qin Qing was not one to be unrealistic, so what they could imagine was that Qin Qing must have something to rely on, perhaps it was related to the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion.

They also knew that Qin Qing had always been on good terms with Liu Hongxue of the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion, and the fact that Qin Qing had been able to obtain a Wuji Pill from the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion in such a short time, further convinced them of their guess...

"What’s the current situation with the West Gate Army over at the Western Pass?" Qin Qing inquired further.

"The West Gate Army is now advancing towards Luochuan, meeting with General Zhao Tianyin’s Northern Pass Army and Prince Qin Shen’s Army from the south. The situation in Great Qian is very chaotic now; with three armies in rebellion, warfare has engulfed half of Qian Country..." Qin Yi explained.

"Is General Zhao Tianyin still in Luochuan?" Qin Qing frowned.

"Yes. Since the time you left, General Zhao has been imprisoned in Luochuan. Previously, the Royal Family took no actions, treating General Zhao with house arrest primarily. However, six months ago, an edict was suddenly issued, announcing to the world that General Zhao intended to rebel. He was thrown into the Heavenly Prison to await a public execution and his entire family was slated for extermination!"

"After this edict was proclaimed, the Northern Pass Army then advanced southward, closely followed by the West Gate Army led by Li Hetai. Additionally, Prince Qin Shen from the south also joined the armies confronting the Royal Family."

"Now, an army of three million has gathered near Luochuan, surrounding the Imperial City with the intent to force the Royal Family’s hand and rescue General Zhao!"

Upon hearing this from his father, Qin Qing’s brows furrowed, "The three armies surrounding Luochuan, pressuring the Royal Family to hand over General Zhao? Although the armies boast three million soldiers, their true powerhouses are surely far inferior to the Royal Family’s, aren’t they? Why doesn’t the Qin Royal Family decimate the leaders of the three armies with a thunderous strike, which would cause the armies, no matter how numerous, to instantly collapse?"

"I don’t know the exact reasons either," said Qin Yi, shaking his head.

"Hmm..." Qin Qing pondered briefly, and then declared, "The most urgent matter now is to go to Luochuan and rescue Uncle Two and Uncle Seven! There’s no time to lose, we leave at once..."
