Chapter 103 Qin Zhaoye Dies, Qin Jin Sets Fire
late at night.
Longyuan Academy, backyard of the freshman hall.
It's incredibly noisy here during the day.
Local freshmen, family members, and aspiring geniuses all like to talk about resources, rankings, and who is qualified to enter the core campus here.
But at night, the backyard of the new student hall became eerily quiet.
Inside a separate study.
Qin Zhao was still awake.
On the table was a prepared document for the qualification review.
Several lines of clear small print were written on it.
Subject of review: Lin Yuan.
Reconsideration method: Verification via the prohibited platform.
The content of the review: Attribution of core observation qualifications for Star Source Pool.
Qin Zhao sat behind the table, his fingers tapping lightly on the surface.
His expression was calm.
As one of the top-ranking members of the younger generation in the Qin family, he was very clear about what he was doing.
The Blood-Faced Ancient Cultivator could suppress a Marquis-level Star-Erosion Beast and make Elder Qin Yue of the Resource Academy bow his head in public. Such an existence was not one that he could afford to provoke at his current level.
But Lin Yuan is different.
Lin Yuan is a freshman at Longyuan Academy.
Qi and Blood Realm, Level 1.
Holding an S-level special admission status, he occupies the core observation qualification of the Star Source Pool.
Since you are a freshman, you must abide by the rules of the Freshman Hall.
The protective altar can isolate external protective seals, seals left by elders, and protective objects.
Only the student's own vital energy, true qi, physique, and combat skills are left.
As long as Lin Yuan dares to step onto the forbidden platform, the blood-faced protective seal on his body will become ineffective.
At that time, what kind of trouble can a mere Qi and Blood Realm Level 1 cause?
If Lin Yuan doesn't dare to go on stage, that would be even better.
The new students could then jointly apply, arguing that the qualification did not belong to Lin Yuan himself.
In this way, even the Marquis of Zhenxing would not be able to openly show favoritism.
Qin Zhao's eyes turned slightly cold.
"Qin Jin lost stupidly."
"I won't."
From beginning to end, he never considered Lin Yuan a real opponent.
What he's going to break is the rules.
As long as the rules are on his side, Lin Yuan, even with the protection of the Blood-Faced Ancient Cultivator, must bow his head.
The night outside the window was very dark.
A breeze blew by, and the light in the study flickered slightly.
Qin Zhao frowned slightly.
next moment.
The lights went out.
It wasn't blown out by the wind.
It was as if the light in the entire study had been suppressed by something unseen.
Qin Zhao's body suddenly tensed up.
The true energy of the early stage of the Grandmaster realm erupted instantly.
The amulet lit up.
The message symbol lit up.
The Qin family mark also appeared in his palm.
But before these things could actually start, an indescribably heavy force suddenly pressed down.
hum-
The light of the amulet was pressed back into the talisman paper.
The silver patterns that had just lit up on the communication talisman immediately dimmed.
The Qin family mark on his palm seemed to be held firmly by an invisible hand, unable to transmit even the slightest fluctuation.
Qin Zhao's pupils suddenly contracted.
"Who?"
no answer.
From the shadows of the study, a barely perceptible dark figure slowly emerged.
That's not a person.
It looked more like a drop of dark golden blood, a shadow formed in the night.
It has no face.
It has no eyes.
But it sent an indescribable chill through Qin Zhao's heart.
Qin Zhao let out a low shout, condensing his true energy to protect his body.
The Grandmaster Realm True Qi transformed into a layer of pale golden protective shield.
This is the foundation he is most proud of.
But the shadowy figure merely raised its hand.
Just a gentle touch.
Qin Zhao's protective aura instantly solidified.
Followed by.
Click.
The protective aura cracked open like thin ice.
Qin Zhao wanted to back out.
But he found that he couldn't move his body.
The air in the entire study seemed to have turned into an invisible iron mountain.
Every inch of it pressed down on him.
His bones made a faint cracking sound.
True Qi sinks into the body.
Even my heartbeat seemed to be slowed down.
It wasn't until this moment that Qin Zhao truly realized...
This is something he simply cannot comprehend.
He spoke with difficulty:
"I... am from the Qin family..."
The shadow's fingers had already landed on his brow.
A point of dark golden light silently appeared.
Qin Zhao's voice abruptly stopped.
The terror in his eyes was frozen in that final moment.
The shadow slowly dissipated.
The lights came back on.
Qin Zhao remained seated behind the table.
My hand was still next to the eligibility review document.
But his eyes had completely lost their sparkle.
Like a lamp, blown out carelessly.
……
Day two.
New Hall.
It was even more lively than yesterday.
Many people arrived early.
Qin Jin sat at the front of the crowd, his face gloomy, but a hint of expectation lurked in his eyes.
If Qin Zhao shows up today, Lin Yuan will have to face the Forbidden Protection Platform.
No matter how strong the Blood Face Seal is, it's useless.
With the sealing of the protective platform, Lin Yuan was reduced to the first level of the Qi and Blood Realm.
At that time, he will be able to regain some of the face he lost yesterday.
Song Li also came.
She stood beside Ji Qinghe and whispered:
Will Lin Yuan really come?
Ji Qinghe shook her head.
"have no idea."
"Do you really think the protective platform can seal the protective seal on his body?"
Ji Qinghe paused for a moment.
"Theoretically, yes."
Song Li sensed the hesitation in her words.
"Theoretically?"
Ji Qinghe looked at the black arena high up in the Hall of New Students.
That's the restricted platform.
The surrounding area is covered with array patterns that isolate external forces.
Any seals left by elders, amulets, or external energy will be cut off when they enter Taichung.
But for some reason, she always felt that this matter was not that simple.
Ning Wushuang also arrived.
She stood to one side, her expression indifferent.
She wanted to see how the Qin family's disgraceful appeal would ultimately turn out.
But time passed little by little.
Qin Zhao did not appear.
The discussions in the freshman hall grew louder and louder.
"Why hasn't Qin Zhao arrived yet?"
"They're not going to change the time at the last minute, are they?"
"He initiated the qualification review; what does it mean that he didn't show up?"
Qin Jin's expression gradually turned ugly.
He turned to look at the Qin family's entourage.
Go and urge them.
The man left immediately.
Not long after.
A series of hurried footsteps came from outside.
The Qin family members who had just left rushed into the freshman hall, their faces pale.
His voice became shrill with fear.
"Something terrible has happened!"
"Zhao Shao is dead!"
boom!
The entire freshman hall erupted in chaos.
Everyone stood up.
"What?"
"Qin Zhao is dead?"
"How is that possible!"
"Wasn't he still in the freshman dormitories last night?"
Qin Jin's mind went blank.
He rushed forward and grabbed the man's collar.
"What did you say?"
The member of the Qin family was deathly pale and his lips were trembling.
"Zhao Shao died in his study."
"There were no signs of a struggle."
"When the servants went in this morning, the person was already gone."
Qin Jin's face gradually lost its color.
How is that possible?
Qin Zhao is at the early stage of the Grandmaster realm.
He also had the Qin family's protective amulet and communication mark on his body.
Unless the person who intervenes is so powerful that he doesn't even have a chance to call for help.
Inside the new student hall, there was a deathly silence.
A moment later, someone whispered:
"Is that you, senior?"
These words were like a needle, piercing everyone's heart.
Qin Zhaocai issued a letter of review regarding his eligibility yesterday.
Qin Zhao died today.
What a coincidence!
Ning Wu's eyes also turned cold.
She didn't speak, but just looked at Qin Jin.
Qin Jin's face was pale, but his eyes were filled with a mixture of fear and resentment.
Song Li's voice trembled:
"Yesterday he even said he wanted to use a restricted access platform..."
Ji Qinghe whispered:
So he died.
Song Li immediately fell silent.
She suddenly felt a chill down her spine.
If it really was Senior Bloodstained who made the move, then this is no ordinary warning.
This is to tell everyone:
Don't touch Lin Yuan.
The Qin family quickly sealed off the New Life Hall.
The news could no longer be suppressed.
Qin Zhao is dead.
He died silently.
The entire freshman circle of Longyuan Academy was immediately shaken.
……
The Qin family headquarters.
Blackwood Hall.
A middle-aged man sat in the main seat.
He wore a deep purple robe, his brows and eyes were cold and indifferent, and although he did not release his aura, the entire hall was filled with a sense of oppression.
The head of the Qin family.
Qin Qingcang.
At this moment, more than a dozen members of the Qin family were kneeling inside the main hall.
Qin Zhao's body has been brought back.
The body had no external injuries.
Only a very faint trace of dark gold remained between his eyebrows.
Qin Qingcang stared at the dark gold mark, his eyes growing colder and colder.
"Can anyone tell me?"
"What exactly happened last night?"
No one dared to speak inside the hall.
Qin Jin knelt in the crowd, his face pale.
He knew this was his chance.
If this matter cannot be clearly explained, the Qin family will blame him for dragging Qin Zhao into this dispute.
But if it's explained clearly...
The blame will then fall on that person.
Qin Jin took a deep breath, looked up and said:
"Master of the family."
"This matter is probably related to Lin Yuan."
Qin Qingcang's gaze fell on him.
Who is Lin Yuan?
Qin Jin said in a low voice:
"An S-level special admission student from the Seventh Security Zone."
"Although my cultivation level is only the first level of the Qi and Blood Realm."
"But he has a blood-faced ancient cultivator behind him."
Qin Qingcang narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Go on."
Qin Jin immediately recounted what had happened the previous day.
Of course, he said it very skillfully.
He said that Lin Yuan injured him by using the Blood Face Seal, and that Lin Yuan blocked Shen Xiuhe's three punches by using the Blood Face Seal.
He also said that after the Star Source Pool incident, the Blood-Faced Ancient Cultivator took action and suppressed the Marquis-level pollution.
As for Qin Zhao, he only wanted to use the forbidden platform to verify the ownership of the qualification.
But Qin Zhao died that very night.
As he finished speaking, his voice was filled with barely suppressed resentment:
"Master of the family."
"Qin Zhaotang is just verifying whether Lin Yuan himself is qualified."
"If Lin Yuan has nothing to hide, why doesn't he dare to go up to the forbidden platform?"
"Why did my cousin Qin Zhao die on the very eve of the appeal?"
"What else could this be but a warning to the Qin family?"
The atmosphere inside the main hall grew increasingly cold.
Qin Qingcang remained silent.
But everyone felt a heavy pressure slowly spreading.
Qi and Blood Realm, Level 1.
Blood-faced Ancient Cultivator.
The death of Qin Zhao.
These clues, when pieced together, reveal a conflict that is no longer a simple new dispute.
This is someone slapping the Qin family in the face.
Hitting someone in public.
Moreover, after the fight, they made sure the Qin family couldn't find any evidence.
Much later.
Qin Qingcang finally spoke.
His voice was as cold as ice.
"A mere Qi and Blood Realm Level 1?"
"You killed Qin Zhao?"
Qin Jin lowered his head, not daring to reply.
Qin Qingcang slowly stood up.
"check."
"Start the investigation from the seventh security zone."
"Cha Linyuan."
"Check the bloodline of the ancient cultivator."
"Investigate everyone they've been in contact with."
His gaze fell on the dark gold mark between Qin Zhao's eyebrows.
I need to know.
"The blood-faced ancient cultivator behind him."
"Who is it?"
Inside the main hall, all members of the Qin family bowed their heads simultaneously.
"yes!"
Qin Jin knelt on the ground, a hint of pleasure surfacing deep in his eyes.
Lin Yuan.
This time, it's not Freshman Hall looking for you.
It's the Qin family.
He didn't believe that a mere Qi and Blood Realm Level 1 cultivator from the border region could withstand the wrath of the entire Qin family.
After all, that Qin family patriarch was not a good-tempered person.
……
Starry Courtyard.
The morning sunlight fell on the window.
Lin Xiaoya held the rice porridge and sipped it slowly.
She didn't sleep well last night.
But when I woke up in the morning, everything outside was peaceful.
Lin Yuan sat at the table, looking at the Dragon Abyss Main Star Gate in the distance.
The Extreme Dao Star Furnace within his body slowly rotated, its dark gold blood and qi as heavy as stars.
The ID card on the table lit up.
New Student Hall message push.
Qin Zhao, who ranked third on the new student list, passed away last night.
Today's eligibility review is cancelled.
Lin Xiaoya was stunned when she saw the message.
"elder brother."
"That Qin Zhao... is dead?"
Lin Yuan gave a faint "hmm".
Lin Xiaoya asked in a low voice:
"Was it done by bad people?"
Lin Yuan looked out the window.
"Who knows?"
Lin Xiaoya blinked.
I always felt that my brother said those words rather calmly.
Lin Yuan offered no explanation.
He simply stared at the massive crack in the main star's gate in the distance.
Qin family.
unimportant.
The important question is whether the Star Source Pool can continue to expand.
Meanwhile, on the other side of Longyuan City.
When Gu Changye received news of Qin Zhao's death, he was wiping a black Sky Patrol Token.
He paused after listening to his subordinate's report.
He then chuckled softly.
"Qin Zhao is dead?"
The subordinate whispered:
"My lord, the Qin family suspects that it was Elder Xueqian who was behind this."
Gu Changye's smile deepened.
"You're right to suspect."
"But that's not entirely true either."
He opened his notebook and wrote on a new page:
Qin Zhaoye died.
The technique was clean and silent, leaving no trace.
After a pause, he wrote again:
The Qin family has officially entered the game.
After finishing writing, Gu Changye closed his notebook.
His eyes shone as if he had just witnessed the start of a grand drama.
"Lin Yuan".
"With this move, you've brought the entire Qin family's chessboard to the forefront."
