Chapter 740 Qi Family

”Who are you, really? If you belong to one of us, I should recognize you. However, I donʼt know you.” Senior Qi narrowed her eyes on him.

”Iʼm afraid that I cannot answer your question since you havenʼt defeated me yet.” Yuan suddenly pointed his sword at Senior Qi before mumbling in a low voice.

”Seal.”

”What?!”

Senior Qiʼs eyes widened with shock when she suddenly lost control over her bodyʼs movements.

ʼI-Impossible! He also knows our technique?!ʼ

Not only did Yuan know her technique, it also appeared to be much stronger than her own judging by how much quicker the petrifying effect was affecting her body.

In just a few seconds, half of Senior Qiʼs body had turned into stone.

However, Senior Qi wasnʼt panicking.

She even showed a confident smile and said, ”Iʼm surprised. To think you knew so much about demon sealing clans and even our techniques. However, you should know that demon sealing techniques do not have any effect on humans. Even if I donʼt do anything, I will be able to break free from the seal after a few days. If I try, I can break out of it within seconds just like you did.”

”Then letʼs make a bet. I will give you ten minutes to break out of the seal. If you cannot do it, then itʼs my victory, and you will have to admit defeat.” Yuan suddenly suggested.

”Ten minutes? Hahaha! I only need one minute to break your seal!” Senior Qi laughed out loud.

”I will see you in a minute.” Senior Qi glared at Yuan until her entire body turned into stone.

Chu Liuxiang approached Yuan and asked, ”Do you think she will break out of the seal in a minute? You managed to break out of her seal in just a few seconds, after all.”

”Who knows.” Yuan shrugged.

”Eh? You donʼt know? Then why did you make a bet with her, even giving her ten whole minutes? Thatʼs not something you do if youʼre not confident in your own abilities.” Chu Liuxiang stared at him with a slightly dumbfounded face.

”I am confident, but that doesnʼt really mean anything.”

”Letʼs just wait and see then.” Chu Liuxiang said, and they proceeded to wait for Senior Qi to break the seal.

One minute later.

”Sheʼs late. Itʼs been longer than a minute. Does this mean you win?” Chu Liuxiang said.

”I guess so, but letʼs give her the full ten minutes.”

Chu Liuxiang nodded, and they continued to wait.

Ten minutes later.

”I really hope sheʼs still alive…” Chu Liuxiang said in a low voice.

”Sheʼs definitely still alive. I can sense her spiritual energy, and she is still trying to break through the seal even as we speak.” Yuan said.

”What now? Are you going to release the seal?”

To Chu Liuxiangʼs surprise, Yuan shook his head, ”No, I will let her suffer a little more. This is what she gets for being so arrogant, and she also wanted to stop me from taking you home.”

”Master does have the tendency to act arrogantly from time to time, but sheʼs not a bad person. She taught me many things ever since I came to the Chu Family. I even think of her as an elder sister.”

”Alright, I will reduce a few hours from her punishment.” Yuan said with a smile.

Chu Liuxiang also chuckled.

”Chu Liuxiang!”

A cold voice suddenly resounded behind them.

When Chu Liuxiang turned around, she could see her parents standing in the distance with many of their guards following behind them.

”Stay behind me.” Yuan said as he stood in between her and the Chu Family.

”Where is Senior Qi?! I asked her to deal with that bastard!” Chu Shijian shouted in an angry voice.

”Dear! Look behind them!” Chu Shufen pointed at the stone statue behind Yuan and Chu Liuxiang.

”Y-You bastard! What have you done to her?! Do you have any idea who she is?! If you harmed even a single hair on her body, youʼre a dead man!” Chu Shijian roared in a deafening tone.

”I donʼt know her, but as you can see for yourself, itʼs a little too late for that kind of talk. However, you canʼt blame me. You can only blame yourself— your Chu Family for making me come here.” Yuan said with a cold expression on his face.

”Itʼs over… You have no idea what youʼve just done! The Qi Family will kill all of us once they learn that she had died while within our territory!” Chu Shijian mumbled in a fearful voice.

The Chu Family is one of the biggest families in the world, but that doesnʼt mean they are fearless. The Qi Family is a secret powerhouse that has lived in seclusion for even longer than the Six Spiritual Families, and they are one of very few powers that can make the Chu Family tremble in fear.

Yuan raised his eyebrows. Is the Qi Family really that powerful?

ʼI guess it makes sense for them to be so powerful since they have to fight demons and all…ʼ Yuan thought to himself.

”The relationship between our families was reaching its peak! They even sent over the most talented genius in their family to our family as a sign of their trust, but you had to ruin everything!” Chu Shijianʼs eyes were bloodshot as of this moment.

”I didnʼt plan on killing you even after learning about what you have done to my two sons, but I must avenge Senior Qi by taking your life. Hopefully, the Qi Family wonʼt kill all of us with your sacrifice.”

Chu Shijian pointed at Yuan and shouted, ”Bring me his head!”

The guards behind him immediately rushed forward and surrounded Yuan and Chu Liuxiang.

”F-Father! Please wait! There is something—”

”Shut up! If you donʼt want to die with him, get away from him!” Chu Shijian shouted.

”Senior Qi came here and took you in as her disciple, yet you allowed her to be killed just like that?! Even if I donʼt punish you later, the Qi Family will definitely do so!”

”Itʼs alright, Lulu. Stand back. I will handle this.” Yuan said to her with a smile.
