This aura.

Qin Heng was not unfamiliar with it. In fact, it was a very familiar aura—the aura of the Nine Nether Evil Demons!

In the Immortal Cultivation World, it is commonly referred to as Demonic Qi!

Originating from the terrifying and gloomy Nine Nether Demon Realm, it is the unique aura of the Nine Nether Evil Demons, posing great danger to all beings not from the Nine Nether! Mere contact could directly turn one into a Nine Nether Evil Demon! Moreover, they would transform into low-level demons devoid of all reason and wisdom, monsters that only knew slaughter and bloodshed!

However, the Demonic Qi in this hotel was not dense; it was very faint. If Qin Heng hadn't shifted his attention to it, he might not have even noticed it at all. It was, one might say, extremely diluted.

This level of Demonic Qi is essentially equivalent to some potent toxins; not very dangerous.

But, since such a thing had appeared, Qin Heng could not ignore it.

In his previous life, while traveling through the Starry Sky, he had seen numerous worlds and Stars of Life invaded by the Nine Nether Demon Realm. Without exception, all life transformed into evil demons, killing and even devouring one another until their destruction. The originally normal natural environment also became contaminated by the Nine Nether Evil Qi, filled with strange, malevolent powers.

At that time, Qin Heng was already an ancient sage of the Returning to Empty realm. Upon encountering such worlds, he was still helpless. He could only watch as countless beings died, one Star of Life after another was destroyed, and one world after another annihilated!

The Nine Nether Demon Realm was incomparably mysterious. Before Qin Heng underwent his Crossing Tribulation in his previous life, he had found no traces of the Nine Nether Demon Realm in the Mortal World. It wasn't until he achieved the status of Daluo Golden Immortal in the Immortal realm that he scanned across myriad worlds with a single thought and finally found traces of the Nine Nether Demon Realm. After a great battle, he utterly destroyed it!

In that battle, Qin Heng also learned of the strength of the Nine Nether Demon Realm, something that even the Immortal realm had to fear! There were more than thirty Daluo Golden Immortals alone! Moreover, within the Nine Nether Demon Realm, the power of world rules amplified their strength to double, or even several times that of a normal Daluo Golden Immortal!

If it weren't for an unrivaled genius like Qin Heng, the Nine Nether Demon Realm could have acted with impunity.

Unfortunately, Qin Heng was too strong! He was unreasonably strong. Although he was only a Daluo Golden Immortal—and a new one at that, having achieved such might just over a year after ascending—his strength was terrifyingly formidable! With his own power alone, he slaughtered over thirty Daluo Golden Immortals of the Nine Nether Demon Realm and remained unharmed! It was simply unbelievable!

It was this battle that made Qin Heng's name resound throughout the Immortal realm, his might shaking the myriad heavens!

However, I never expected to encounter Nine Nether Evil Qi on Earth in this parallel world! Qin Heng thought. Although it's extremely faint, almost making me doubt its very existence, I know the terror of the Nine Nether Demon Realm. I cannot let my guard down; I absolutely cannot be negligent! If the Nine Nether Demon Realm truly managed to invade, comprehending the Supreme Law would be out of the question. Even the peaceful life I currently enjoy would be impossible to maintain. The safety of my sister, Qin Yun, and Song Ningran would also be threatened. After all, the Nine Nether Demon Realm is truly too strong!

Qin Heng planned to go over and investigate, to take a closer look and see the origin of this wisp of faint Demonic Qi.

BANG!

The Ferrari door closed.

Qin Heng got out, nodded towards the astonished Lu Jianjia with a smile, and said, "Let's go."

"Ah!?"

Lu Jianjia was dumbfounded, her face immediately flushing, wearing an expression of someone incredibly honored. Her already stunning beauty became even more radiant.

She lowered her head, her voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz, saying, "Okay, okay."

After speaking, her cheeks turned even redder. Her delicate body trembled slightly; she was so overwhelmed with excitement that she felt she could worship Qin Heng as a god.

And now, this god is actually going to visit my home! Excitement! I'm just so excited! If Mother weren't watching right beside me, I feel like I might jump up in excitement. I'm just so happy!

Lu Jianjia's mother had keen eyes. Observing Lu Jianjia's expressions and subtle movements from a distance, she immediately frowned. Her gaze toward Qin Heng was slightly unfriendly. However, she didn't show it immediately. The trace of animosity in her eyes quickly vanished, and she adopted a kind and pleasant demeanor.

"You two, stop dawdling and come upstairs with me," Lu Jianjia's mother said warmly, smiling and nodding at Qin Heng. "Don't keep Jianjia's father waiting."

"Yes, yes, yes! Okay!" Lu Jianjia, still immersed in her tremendous excitement, nodded repeatedly. She led Qin Heng as she followed her mother.

「After entering the elevator.」

The air suddenly went silent.

Lu Jianjia's mind cleared somewhat, and she immediately sensed something was off about the atmosphere. She glanced at Qin Heng beside her, then at her mother, and whispered, "Mom, it's really not what you think. We haven't..."

Lu Jianjia had already realized that her mother had misunderstood her relationship with Qin Heng.

This won't do! Qin Heng is like a god! A being high above! Even the higher-ups of the Myth Organization treat him with utmost respect. As a mere Half-step Grandmaster, I'm probably not even qualified to stand by his side. I must explain this clearly to Mother. I can never hope to reach Qin Heng's level. In terms of status or strength, he's as high as the Nine Heavens, completely beyond my reach!

However, just as Lu Jianjia was about to clarify, Lu Jianjia's mother suddenly spoke. Her expression was unfriendly, her brows furrowed as she looked at Qin Heng and said, "Young man, that Ferrari you drive is pretty expensive, isn't it? Several million? Did your family buy it?"

"Over nine million. My dad bought it for me," Qin Heng replied casually, nodding. His attention was focused on the Nine Nether Evil Qi, so he couldn't be bothered to engage with Lu Jianjia's mother.

"So, you really are a rich second-generation brat from a wealthy family," Lu Jianjia's mother said, her smile not reaching her eyes. Her voice then turned harsh. "However, my daughter is not someone you can win over with money, and I won't allow it! Young man, I'm not one to mince words, so let me be clear. I don't care if you harm other girls, but if you hurt Jianjia, I'll hunt you to the ends of the earth. You'll be dead!"

Clearly, she had mistaken Qin Heng for a typical rich second-generation brat who played with people's emotions.

"Mom! What are you saying?!" Lu Jianjia was instantly alarmed. She looked at her mother in disbelief, her face turning pale with fear, then quickly bowed to Qin Heng in apology. "Mr. Qin! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry! My mother didn't mean it! She didn't intend to say those things! Please, don't hold it against her!"

"He's actually pressuring and bullying you like this?!" Seeing Lu Jianjia's submissive demeanor towards Qin Heng, her mother became even more furious. She pointed at Qin Heng and shouted sternly, "Get out! Get out right now! If you dare come near Jianjia again, I'll see you dead!"

Qin Heng gave her a brief, indifferent glance. He then turned his gaze to the terrified Lu Jianjia and said flatly, "Aren't you going? Your father is about to die."

With those words, the elevator once again returned to utter silence, so quiet one could hear a pin drop. Both Lu Jianjia and her mother found the words caught in their throats. Their eyes widened as they stared at Qin Heng in utter disbelief.
