Lu Guangyuan was indeed powerful. As a Half-step Grandmaster, he definitely counted as a strong figure in the secular world.

However, in Qin Heng's eyes, such strength was truly too weak, merely like an ant. He didn't even feel the desire to make a move. With a flicker of his form, he left the hotel room.

"Since you're seeking your own death, I won't stop you."

After leaving these words behind, Qin Heng floated away without paying any further attention to Lu Guangyuan.

After all, his reason for coming to investigate was that wisp of Nine Nether Evil Qi; he couldn't care less about Lu Guangyuan's life or death.

Even if he let that thin wisp of Nine Nether Evil Qi grow, it was no big deal.

It was merely a strand, and Qin Heng could snuff it out with ease.

In fact, from Qin Heng's perspective, allowing this thin wisp of Nine Nether Evil Qi to grow stronger was actually a good thing.

After all, it would be easier to trace its origin using genuine Nine Nether Evil Qi.

Moreover, with his cultivation and insight, refining the Nine Nether Evil Qi into the most basic Yuan Qi wasn't difficult. A single wisp of Nine Nether Evil Qi was enough for him to create a Yuan Qi Elixir.

BOOM!!

Lu Guangyuan's attack missed completely, his fingers clawing at the door!

A loud CRASH followed as he instantly tore a hole in the solid wooden door, ripping through it as easily as paper.

If that attack had landed on an ordinary person, even if they weren't pierced through instantly, their flesh would likely be torn apart, tendons and bones shattered. It wouldn't be surprising if they died on the spot.

Lu Guangyuan truly was a ruthless man. He was ready to kill over a mere disagreement.

"Damn it! That kid sure runs fast!" Lu Guangyuan cursed, his expression furious. In his eyes, Qin Heng was just a slippery con artist who had fled the moment he sensed trouble, causing his attack to miss.

"Jianjia, you're not allowed out again before we return to Luyang," Mother Lu said, glancing at Lu Jianjia. "What kind of bewitching potion did that con artist give you? How could you believe him so much!"

Lu Jianjia stared in the direction Qin Heng had left, speechless for a long time. Then, she suddenly slumped to the ground and said with a bitter smile, "Dad, Mom, do you have any idea who you just offended?

That's Qin Xuantian, number one on the Earth Ranking, hailed as invincible! His strength is immense; not even an Innate Grandmaster can match him. Do you realize how dangerous your actions were?!"

BOOM!!

Lu Jianjia's words struck Lu Guangyuan and his wife like a thunderbolt, their minds reeling.

They both froze, stiff as statues, their expressions locked in disbelief as they stared at Lu Jianjia. Their faces were filled with utter shock, horrified beyond belief.

"Jianjia, what… what did you just say?" Mother Lu was instantly shocked. Although she wasn't a Martial Artist, her husband and daughter were both Half-step Grandmasters, so she wasn't completely ignorant of such matters.

Number one on the Earth Ranking, invincible, Innate Grandmaster!!

She knew exactly what these titles implied. The shock was so overwhelming that she almost doubted her own ears, wondering if she had misheard.

Lu Guangyuan trembled. He subconsciously glanced in the direction Qin Heng had departed, then turned to Lu Jianjia, his expression extremely grave. "Jianjia," he said, "that young man you mentioned… no, that youth… was he really Qin Xuantian?! Number one on the Earth Ranking, the invincible Qin Xuantian?!"

"Yes, it was him," Lu Jianjia nodded, utterly dejected. "Earlier, when he said you were about to die, I knew someone of his standing wouldn't speak recklessly. That's why I asked him to examine you."

"Qin Xuantian! Qin Xuantian! It was really Qin Xuantian!" Lu Guangyuan's face turned deathly pale. He felt dizzy, and the thought of dying even crossed his mind.

What have I done? Attacking Qin Xuantian… damn it, that was courting death! And this is Tianhai! Qin Xuantian is the uncrowned king here! If word of today's events gets out, I probably wouldn't even need Qin Xuantian to act; the Four Great Families alone would be enough to deal with me!

Mother Lu was also terrified. A sudden thought struck her, and she asked, "Jianjia, what's your relationship with Qin Xuantian like? How far have things progressed between you two?"

Hearing this, Lu Guangyuan had the same idea and immediately looked at Lu Jianjia, his face lighting up with hopeful surprise.

Having a beautiful daughter can really be a lifesaver sometimes!

"Mom, Dad, don't get your hopes up," Lu Jianjia said, shaking her head gently with a sigh. "Mr. Qin is an extraordinary individual, like a deity high above. Nothing could ever happen between us. He hasn't even spared me a proper glance."

"Then… then what do we do?" Lu Guangyuan was in a complete panic. Being part of the Martial Dao world, he knew all too well what offending someone like Qin Xuantian meant.

This is someone at the very pinnacle of the Martial Dao! The consequences of offending such a person are always utterly tragic!

Mother Lu was on the verge of despair. All her previous arrogance had vanished. She slumped to the ground, staring blankly and shaking her head ceaselessly, unable to think of any way to atone for her earlier rudeness.

"Shares! We still have shares!" A glint suddenly appeared in Lu Guangyuan's eyes. "Our family's shares are worth over ten billion! We'll give ten billion to Qin Xuantian!"

"No! Are you insane?!" Mother Lu shrieked, pointing at Lu Guangyuan. "That's ten billion! Ten billion! You want to just give it away? Absolutely not!"

SLAP!!

Lu Guangyuan rushed over, slapped Mother Lu across the face, and roared, "Shut the hell up! What damn good is money? Even if you have that ten billion, will you be alive to spend it?

That's Qin Xuantian! Number one on the Earth Ranking! Invincible! He could crush an Innate Grandmaster with a single slap and is the true master of Tianhai's Four Great Families! He could annihilate us more easily than crushing an ant!"

Mother Lu was stunned by the slap. Recalling her previous attitude towards Qin Heng, she was so terrified that she began to tremble, her vision blurring as she nearly fainted.

She nodded frantically. "Yes, yes, yes! Money isn't as important as our lives! Not as important as our lives! We have to give him the ten billion! Give it to Qin Xuantian! We absolutely must!"

Lu Jianjia watched from the side, completely stunned. She never would have imagined that her parents, who usually cherished money as much as their own lives, would actually offer ten billion to Qin Heng as an apology.

"Jianjia, go after Qin Xuantian! He can't have gone far. You must get him to stay and accept our apology!" Lu Guangyuan urged Lu Jianjia. "Quick, go after him!"

「 」

Qin Heng had already exited the hotel.

He planned to drive home.

However, just as he was walking towards his parking spot to get his car…

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!

A series of urgent honks blared. The headlights blazed, nearly blinding.

A red Rolls-Royce pulled up, and three youths with dyed yellow hair got out.

The leader of the yellow-haired youths glanced at Qin Heng and sneered, "Kid, is that red Ferrari yours? Its color clashes with my car, and I'm really pissed off. Boys, get 'em!"

The other two yellow-haired youths nodded.

BANG! BANG!

They immediately started kicking Qin Heng's red Ferrari, leaving dusty footprints on its gleaming red paint!

Then, the leader took out a check, casually wrote 100,000 on it, and tossed it in front of Qin Heng. He had an air of arrogant superiority.

"Kid, this is your compensation. Pick it up. And remember, don't let me see you driving a red luxury car again. If I do, I'll beat you up every time!"

"Who are you?" Qin Heng asked, sizing up the yellow-haired youth. He felt the youth's features somewhat resembled Lu Guangyuan's.

"You little bastard! How dare you ask who our boss is? Are you blind?!" one of the other yellow-haired youths yelled, pointing at Qin Heng.

The other added, "Listen up! Our boss is Lu Chongtian! He's the son of Lu Guangyuan, the CEO of the Luyang Financial Group! We could scare you to death just by mentioning a few hundred million! Idiot!"
