The demonic clan is causing trouble, and the Martial Domain is in chaos. The divine being, Qin Chen (played by Zhan Yu), descends to the world to eliminate demons and uphold justice, purifying the universe. He becomes respected as the God of Martial Arts. Qin Chen is playing the zither alone when Shangguan Xier approaches him. Shangguan Xier and Qin Chen rely on each other, but Qin Chen is unsure about the true meaning of the Heavenly Dao.

Shangguan Xier believes that the joys and sorrows of the mortal world have nothing to do with them, while Qin Chen feels that all living beings suffer, just like petals that will eventually disperse like smoke. At this moment, Shangguan Xier takes advantage of Qin Chen's inattention and uses a spell to control him. Shangguan Xier thinks that Qin Chen doesn't understand her at all and starts to confront him. Until now, Qin Chen still doesn't know what he did wrong to deserve such treatment from Shangguan Xier.

At this time, a man dressed in black also arrives. He has long been in an alliance with Shangguan Xier, planning to take down Qin Chen together. He uses the Star River Seal, and Qin Chen fights back without showing any weakness. The two sides are evenly matched, and Qin Chen uses his ultimate move, "Descent of the Martial God." Shangguan Xier informs Qin Chen that he has been poisoned, so even if he uses his powerful move, it will be useless. She hopes that Qin Chen will surrender obediently.

Taking advantage of the situation, Qin Chen dispels Shangguan Xier's spell and tries to escape. However, to his surprise, Shangguan Xier and her companion, Feng Shaoyu, manage to catch up to him. Qin Chen can't understand why the person he loves and his best friend, Feng Shaoyu, would join forces to attack him. Shangguan Xier and Feng Shaoyu stand together, revealing that they have been in love for a long time. Shangguan Xier stayed by Qin Chen's side just to find an opportunity to kill him. Feng Shaoyu wants to take away Qin Chen's techniques.

Qin Chen sees through everything, but he fails to see through human hearts. He declares that he is not afraid of death and is ready to perish together with Feng Shaoyu and Shangguan Xier. Shangguan Xier immediately sees the problem and pulls Feng Shaoyu away, but Qin Chen still meets his end this way.

When Qin Chen wakes up again, he finds himself in a mansion, with a woman tightly hugging him. Qin Chen is somewhat surprised. It turns out that the woman's name is Qin Yuechi, and she is his mother. Qin Chen had been knocked unconscious before, and only now does he start to recall his memories before losing consciousness. Feeling a bit dizzy, Qin Yuechi quickly gives him a bowl of medicinal soup.

Later, Qin Chen learns that his mother, Qin Yuechi, was renowned for her beauty in the capital city, and many admired her. However, she left home early. Three years later, she returned to the Qin family with Qin Chen in her arms, fortunately without receiving blame from her brother. Otherwise, both mother and son would have ended up on the streets.

At this moment, a maid named Yanzhi comes over and says that Madam Zhao wants to see Qin Yuechi. Qin Chen gets angry upon knowing that Madam Zhao intends to see her and berates Yanzhi. Qin Yuechi agreed to meet Madam Zhao to save her son. Yanzhi realizes that Qin Chen is unwilling to let his mother go and arranges for someone to forcibly take Qin Yuechi away.

Qin Chen stands in front of his mother, and just then, Madam Zhao arrives with her son, Zhao Qirui, who has a lecherous gaze. Madam Zhao is arrogant, but Qin Chen scolds both of them fiercely. Madam Zhao plans to have her guards beat Qin Chen, but she ends up being beaten by Qin Chen instead. Qin Chen teaches Madam Zhao and Zhao Qirui a lesson. Zhao Qirui gets scared and quickly makes an excuse to leave.

Madam Zhao calls her guard, Qin Yong, but Qin Chen refuses to back down. They are about to fight when Qin Yuechi's brother, the Marquis, arrives. Madam Zhao wants to complain to her husband, but she is scolded instead.

Lord Hou stopped Qin Chen and praised him for being more sensible. After all, swords and knives have no eyes, and he asked Qin Chen to put away his sword. At this moment, Qin Yuechi took the initiative to stand up and defend her son, but Lord Hou insisted that Qin Chen must prove his strength; otherwise, everyone would think that the Qin family's descendants are useless. These words deeply hurt Qin Yuechi's heart. She made a bowl of noodles for Qin Chen, hoping to reassure him that he would succeed in the upcoming important examination.

Qin Yuechi feared that her son might not inherit the bloodline, but all she could do now was to believe in him. Madam Zhao returned to her room and scolded her husband, saying that today his elbow turned outward, and his bloodline still had not awakened. Lord Hou had his own plan long ago – if Qin Chen failed the assessment, he would drive him away, and even the old master would have nothing to say. Madam Zhao suddenly realized this.

Qin Chen felt the need to become stronger quickly to protect his mother. The first thing he had to do was awaken his bloodline. However, he discovered that he couldn't awaken it; something was wrong with his body. He remembered the artifact he obtained from the Divine Realm. To awaken his bloodline, he had to break through and then stand strong.

Early in the morning, Qin Chen went out and arrived at the Artifact Hall on the hill. He intended to buy materials for refining, but when the person in charge inspected his list, they said that the materials he wanted were all sold out. Zhao Lingshan (played by Chen Yiying) happened to be in the Artifact Hall too, looking for Master Liang Yu. Qin Chen's older brother, Qin Fen, saw Zhao Lingshan and was immediately drawn to her, so he followed her to meet Liang Yu. However, he ran into Qin Chen in the main hall.

As an older brother, Qin Fen mockingly brought up Qin Chen's failure to awaken his bloodline, and Zhao Lingshan was surprised to learn that Qin Chen was Qin Yuechi's son. Qin Fen snatched Qin Chen's list and claimed that he couldn't afford the Black Yaoming Stone listed on it. Qin Chen dismissed him with just a few words, making Qin Fen very angry.

At this moment, the master blacksmith Liang Yu arrived. Qin Fen handed the Black Yaoming Stone to him and said he wanted him to forge a powerful artifact for him. Zhao Lingshan presented a letter from her father to Liang Yu, indicating her desire to become a blacksmith apprentice. Liang Yu tested Zhao Lingshan, who needed to pass various trials to become a blacksmith. Liang Yu approved of Zhao Lingshan's skills and declared her as his ninth disciple.

Liang Yu asked Qin Fen and Qin Chen to leave, but Qin Chen called him by his name. Qin Chen knew that Liang Yu was seriously ill and didn't have much time left. Qin Chen claimed that only he could cure him. Liang Yu was surprised that Qin Chen knew so much about him. Qin Chen asked Qin Fen and Zhao Lingshan to leave first. He revealed to Liang Yu that the master's severe illness was caused by refining a powerful artifact. Qin Chen agreed to help Liang Yu with his condition on the condition that Liang Yu would help him refine an artifact.

Liang Yu looked at the materials and expressed doubt about having enough power for such a task, but Qin Chen assured him that he could help. With no other choice, Liang Yu had to trust Qin Chen. Qin Chen said that once the artifact was completed, he would also help Liang Yu remove the poison from his body. Qin Chen stood by Liang Yu's side and guided him on how to forge the artifact. Liang Yu was still worried, as using the Black Yaoming Stone required great caution due to its preciousness.

Liang Yu didn't expect Qin Chen to leave in such an extraordinary manner, even his way of refining artifacts was beyond ordinary people. After obtaining the desired artifact, Qin Chen told Liang Yu the method to detoxify himself. Liang Yu realized that the person before him was incredibly powerful and had great achievements. He vowed not to be enemies with Qin Chen in the future.

When Qin Chen came out, Qin Fen wanted to punish him but was stopped by Liang Yu. From Qin Fen, Liang Yu learned that the person's name was Qin Chen, and he suddenly realized who he was. Liang Yu scolded Qin Fen and refused to forge an artifact for him. He also warned Zhao Lingshan to stay away from Qin Fen; otherwise, he would expel her from his disciples.

Qin Chen met Wei Zhen on his way back, and Wei Zhen wanted to teach him a lesson. However, someone intervened and claimed that Qin Chen was his brother, asking Qin Chen to hide behind him. Wei Zhen was still dissatisfied and attacked the person in front of Qin Chen, who was injured. Qin Chen retaliated and defeated Wei Zhen. Determined to improve his strength, Qin Chen vowed to open all twelve bloodlines through even greater efforts.

Under his unwavering effort, Qin Chen's injuries healed. But when he came out from his seclusion, he realized he was being followed. The tracker revealed that Wei Zhen and Wei Zhen were following him, and they had taken his best friend, Lin Tian, hostage. Qin Chen overheard Wei Zhen trying to get information about his rapid improvement in strength from Lin Tian, but Lin Tian refused to talk.

Qin Chen confronted Wei Zhen and easily defeated him. Wei Zhen's brother, Wei Zhen, tried to attack Qin Chen but was also defeated. Now afraid, the Wei brothers dared not bully Qin Chen's brother, Lin Tian, anymore. Seeing Qin Chen's unfathomable strength, they decided not to provoke him again.

Liang Yu bought a powerful artifact to give to Qin Chen as a gift, hoping to get closer to him and learn more about refining artifacts. He then asked Zhao Lingshan to take the artifact to Qin Chen at the Qin Mansion. However, at the mansion's entrance, Qin Ying stopped Qin Chen, believing that he had offended Master Liang Yu and caused Qin Fen to lose the Black Yaoming Stone, leading to severe punishment by Lord Hou. Qin Ying's words were interrupted by the butler, Qin Yong, who said that Lord Hou was calling for a family meeting, so Qin Chen should return quickly.

Madam Zhao continued to berate Qin Yuechi, accusing her of causing trouble and offending Master Liang Yu. She scolded Qin Chen, and Lord Hou questioned him about how he offended Master Liang Yu. However, Qin Chen insisted that he had not offended Liang Yu. Madam Zhao remained relentless, trying to seize every opportunity to drive away Qin Chen and his mother.

Madam Zhao was doing everything she could to drive Qin Chen out of the Qin Mansion. Coupled with Qin Fen's instigation, Madam Zhao claimed to prioritize the overall situation. Qin Chen thought that if that was the case, he and his mother could leave the Qin family. He expressed the suffering they had endured over the years at the hands of Madam Zhao. Qin Chen also accused Madam Zhao of intentionally introducing Zhao Qirui to his mother, and even Lord Hou confirmed that he had punished his own wife.

The most critical issue now was how to handle Qin Chen's offense against Master Liang Yu. Qin Yuechi suggested that she and her son willingly leave the Qin Mansion. She revealed that everything they had here was actually due to her father's efforts. Madam Zhao scolded Qin Yuechi, but she firmly asserted that she had earned everything they possessed.

Madam Zhao didn't want to let Qin Yuechi and her son off easily. However, Lord Hou, considering the relationship with his sister, insincerely offered them some money. Qin Yuechi, full of pride, did not accept the offer and decided to leave with her son, Qin Chen. As they departed, Qin Chen's uncle, Qin Ying, and his cousin followed them. Qin Ying gave some silver to his sister, Qin Yuechi, showing genuine care for her.

Qin Chen assured them that he would take good care of his mother and asked his uncle and cousin not to worry. Madam Zhao and Lord Hou were furious but realized that they couldn't do much about the situation. At that moment, Zhao Lingshan arrived, and Madam Zhao quickly arranged a feast to entertain her. Zhao Lingshan was surprised to learn how much Master Liang Yu valued Qin Chen. Madam Zhao and Lord Hou warmly welcomed Zhao Lingshan, presenting her with many gifts, thinking she came to see Qin Fen. Qin Fen had even dressed up for her. However, when Zhao Lingshan found out that Qin Chen had been expelled, she hastily left.

Lord Hou learned that it was not Qin Chen but Qin Fen who had offended Master Liang Yu, which made him furious and wanted to punish his son severely. Madam Zhao stopped him, and Lord Hou stormed out in anger. They decided to have the feast prepared for Zhao Lingshan themselves.

Qin Chen and his mother, Qin Yuechi, returned to their old and dilapidated home. Qin Chen discovered some low-level spirit medicine there and told his mother that he had something to attend to and would go out for a while. Qin Yuechi decided it was time for her to find work since her son, Qin Chen, needed more money to improve his martial skills.

While Qin Chen was away, Zhao Lingshan arrived at their home, having found the location through inquiries. She came to deliver gifts to Qin Chen and Qin Chen accepted them gratefully. Zhao Lingshan couldn't understand why Qin Chen didn't defend himself against the accusations, but Qin Chen seemed indifferent. She realized that Qin Chen was not the playboy that Qin Fen had described, and she started to look at him with newfound respect.

When Qin Yuechi prepared a meal, Zhao Lingshan hurriedly left. Qin Chen had intentionally driven her away because he felt she was interfering. As Zhao Lingshan returned home in the evening, she noticed someone had been following her. A cloaked figure confronted Zhao Lingshan, asking her to leave with him. Feeling helpless, Zhao Lingshan was relieved when Qin Chen appeared just in time. She questioned the man's motives, but he remained silent. Qin Chen suddenly sensed that the situation was not good.

Zhao Lingshan questioned the cloaked figure about who sent them, but the person chose to commit suicide rather than reveal any information. Qin Chen offered to protect Zhao Lingshan, and she had no choice but to accept his offer. Qin Chen brought Zhao Lingshan back home, and when Qin Yuechi saw them together, she couldn't help but smile. Qin Chen took out the treasure given to him by Master Liang Yu and directly ground it, while Zhao Lingshan assisted him. They worked together to refine spirit medicine. Qin Chen explained that these medicines could awaken their bloodlines, which surprised Zhao Lingshan. He even asked her to taste one, and she suddenly felt her spiritual power increase.

Afterward, Qin Chen gave the medicine pouch to Zhao Lingshan, who then left when her father's subordinates came to pick her up. Qin Chen was still thinking about the person who tried to ambush Zhao Lingshan; these people were clearly a big problem.

Qin Chen was busy recently and had no time to manage Zhao Lingshan's affairs. His main task was to awaken his bloodline as soon as possible. When Zhao Lingshan returned home, her father noticed the sachet hanging from her waist. Zhao Lingshan dared not say that Qin Chen gave it to her, so she claimed to have bought it on the street. Her father, not usually interested in such things for his daughter, became curious this time.

After taking the medicine, Qin Chen prepared to awaken his bloodline completely. He went to the Bloodline Hall, where a bloodline instrument could awaken his bloodline. Chen Fan instructed Liu, the steward, to guard the place properly. However, Liu was called away, and Qin Chen found himself alone in front of the bloodline instrument. Seizing the opportunity, Qin Chen decided to awaken his bloodline.

He began cultivating while no one was around, but he couldn't sense any bloodline power. He couldn't believe it, as bloodlines were passed down by parents. Qin Chen made several attempts, even using the forbidden technique of Blood Prohibition. Suddenly, the world became chaotic, and everyone was alarmed. Xiao Zhan also witnessed this unusual phenomenon, which was a rare occurrence in a century.

The peculiar event stopped only after Qin Chen halted his cultivation. He had finally awakened a layer of his bloodline, but to his surprise, it was even more powerful than a normal three-layer bloodline.

At that moment, Liu returned and questioned why Qin Chen was in the Bloodline Hall. The guide assumed it was an open place and brought Qin Chen there. Liu reprimanded the guide since this was the President's Bloodline Hall. As Liu's subordinates prepared to capture Qin Chen, he used his magic to control them. Upon learning that an outsider had accessed the President's Bloodline Hall, Li, the steward, was furious and immediately informed the President.

The President was astonished to find out that Qin Chen had opened his bloodline instrument. Qin Chen claimed he didn't know the place belonged to the President. Liu, who had previously slandered Qin Chen, now changed his attitude. The President even said it was his fortune to meet Qin Chen. As the President wasn't familiar with the bloodline instrument, he asked Qin Chen for help to shut it down. Qin Chen quickly closed the instrument and showed the President how to operate it. Afterward, he asked Liu to leave, as his actions were unforgivable according to the President.

The President directly took Liu, the steward, away, while another subordinate who brought Qin Chen was promoted, much to Liu's anger. The reason the President didn't trouble Qin Chen was that he could open eighteen inscriptions at once, which showed that Qin Chen was extraordinary. Qin Fen still had his heart set on winning Zhao Lingshan's heart, and his mother, Lady Zhao, was determined to have Zhao Lingshan marry her son. To achieve this, Lady Zhao even gave a bewitching incense to Qin Fen, hoping it would come in handy when Zhao Lingshan arrived. They planned to make everything irreversible once they got together, and Zhao Lingshan would have no choice but to become Qin Fen's wife. Lady Zhao claimed that she used the same medicine to captivate her husband back then, resulting in Qin Fen's birth.

Qin Fen was thrilled and lit the incense before Zhao Lingshan arrived. When she came to find the Marquis, Qin Fen intentionally placed the incense burner in front of her. Sensing something suspicious about the incense burner, Zhao Lingshan quickly sniffed the sachet Qin Chen had given her, which could counteract the effects of poison. Then, she brought the incense burner closer to Qin Fen, who initially wanted to refuse but yielded to Zhao Lingshan's persistence. In the end, Qin Fen became drowsy. As Zhao Lingshan left, she saw Lady Zhao secretly watching them from the doorway and suddenly realized that it was all a scheme by Lady Zhao to frame her. Furious, Zhao Lingshan slapped Lady Zhao. Unfortunately, Qin Fen mistook his steward and mother for Zhao Lingshan, and he pounced on his mother in a dazed state. Just then, the Marquis arrived.

After dousing Qin Fen with cold water, he regained consciousness. The Marquis learned that Lady Zhao planned to use aphrodisiacs to frame Zhao Lingshan and severely punished them for it.

Qin Chen returned and resumed his practice and studies, hoping to open up his bloodline as soon as possible. Qin Yuechi was worried about her son as he devoted himself to practice, but Qin Chen reassured her not to worry too much.

The Wei brothers wanted to teach Qin Chen a lesson during the year-end examination, so they approached Li Qingfeng for help. Li Qingfeng thought that Qin Chen's unassuming appearance in Qin City was only a disguise, and he agreed to help them.

After returning home, Li Qingfeng was visited by a cloaked figure who gave him a Killing True Pill. When Li Qingfeng asked the person's identity, they remained silent. The person was from the Shadow Slaughter Tower and wanted Li Qingfeng to win the first place in the year-end examination. After the person left, Li Qingfeng muttered to himself that the first place in the exam would undoubtedly be his and the pills had no use for him.

Liang Yu also learned about the upcoming year-end examination and guessed that Qin Chen would participate. Initially, he didn't want to promise Zhao Lingshan to attend, but knowing that Qin Chen would be there, he agreed.

Lady Zhao also knew that Qin Chen might participate in the year-end examination and instructed the steward to disable his cultivation during the exam, to prevent him from achieving good results. Qin Yuechi was still worried about whether her son could win in the year-end examination, but Qin Chen continued to comfort her and asked her to be assured.

Soon, the day of the year-end examination arrived. Qin Fen was still making sarcastic remarks, and Mr. Zhao brought Liang Yu along. Mr. Zhao asked Liang Yu about his prediction for the winner, and Liang Yu believed it might be Qin Chen since he was capable of curing Liang Yu's poison, which showed his exceptional talent. Learning from Lady Zhao that Qin Chen and his mother had been driven out of the Qin mansion, Liang Yu was enraged and his attitude towards Lady Zhao changed.

Lady Zhao once again started intentionally sowing discord, hoping to influence everyone's opinion about Qin Chen. Soon, the martial arts competition was about to begin, and Qin Yuechi also arrived. All eyes were on Qin Yuechi's deep mountains, and Lady Zhao thought it would be a good opportunity to make a laughingstock out of Qin Chen.

The martial arts competition was about to start, and the Spirit Martial King, who was the referee, also arrived. As the grand examination was approaching, all those who had not awakened their bloodlines came. Many people were discussing Qin Chen, who hadn't awakened his bloodline, but he paid no attention to them. Many thought that Qin Chen was deceiving everyone, and some even made sarcastic remarks, suggesting that Qin Chen should step forward. Qin Chen remained unfazed, but Qin Yuechi was a bit nervous since she didn't know that her son's bloodline had already awakened.

Lady Zhao, sipping her tea on the sidelines, was ready to enjoy the spectacle. Then, Qin Chen told the teacher that his bloodline had awakened. Many people thought that Qin Chen was still deceiving them, so Qin Chen clarified that his bloodline had genuinely awakened. The academy's headmaster proposed a way to test whether Qin Chen's bloodline had awakened, stating that if Qin Chen showed even a hint of his awakened bloodline during the competition, he would be considered the winner.

Qin Chen suggested that if he truly awakened his bloodline, he would make Qin Fen publicly imitate a dog and call himself worthless. Qin Fen didn't believe that Qin Chen could awaken his bloodline and readily agreed to the condition. The time came for everyone to awaken their bloodlines together, and many people had a first-tier bloodline. Qin Yuechi began to worry as her son prepared.

When it was time for Qin Chen to demonstrate, he found that someone had tampered with his belongings. Even if his bloodline had awakened, he couldn't display it. Qin Chen, however, remained unperturbed and directly shattered a dead crystal with his awakened bloodline. Everyone present was extremely surprised. Qin Chen's bloodline was undoubtedly rare and exceptional.

Lady Zhao had bribed the headmaster, hoping to frame Qin Chen, but Qin Chen's mastery of magic was so extraordinary that the headmaster had to admit defeat. Qin Chen's Thunder Bloodline gained everyone's approval. As a result, Qin Chen asked Qin Fen to fulfill his promise from earlier. Qin Fen reluctantly imitated a dog's barking and called himself worthless. He was not happy about it but had to do it.

Next was the archery competition, and this time, Qin Fen hit the center of the target. Lady Zhao felt very proud. No one expected Qin Chen's accuracy to be exceptional, hitting the bullseye with one shot. Qin Chen's bloodline technique was undoubtedly more powerful than that of the other competitors. Lady Zhao felt displeased but could only say that Qin Chen got lucky. Li Qingfeng directly pierced the iron plate, showcasing his talent.

In this assessment, there were indeed a few outstanding individuals, and twenty-four people passed. Next was the second round of competition, and Qin Fen, still dissatisfied, planned to teach Qin Chen a lesson. However, Qin Chen's friends were defeated by Qin Fen, and he grew more confident, believing that victory against Qin Chen was inevitable.

The second round of duels featured Qin Chen, and many people still thought he was weak. However, to their surprise, Qin Chen defeated his opponent using only a bit of his magic. Li Qingfeng also realized that Wei Zhen was right about Qin Chen having some skills. When Qin Chen saw his good friend injured by Qin Fen, he naturally felt furious and decided to teach Qin Fen a lesson later. The Spirit Martial King now had high expectations for Zhao Lingshan, Wang Qiming, and Li Qingfeng.

Only eight people made it to the finals, and Lady Zhao was shocked to find out that Qin Chen had also entered the final. She insisted that Qin Fen must face Qin Chen, intending to teach him a lesson. Lady Zhao then informed Teacher Ge Hong of her plan, and he manipulated the random draw. In the first round, Li Qingfeng emerged victorious, and Lady Zhao was determined to eliminate Qin Chen from the examination this time. In the second round, Wang Qiming also won, leading to the face-off between Qin Fen and Qin Chen.

Qin Fen didn't regard Qin Chen highly, and Qin Chen knew that this matter must be related to Teacher Ge Hong. He vowed to make Teacher Ge Hong regret his actions. During the duel, Qin Fen was shocked to find that even his most potent attacks couldn't stop Qin Chen. Despite using his strongest moves, Qin Fen still couldn't defeat Qin Chen, causing Qin Yuechi to be worried for her son.

Qin Chen remained fearless. Although he didn't win, he reminded everyone that he was the true talent of the Qin family before leaving. As he prepared to leave, Qin Fen planned to ambush him, but Qin Chen anticipated it and directly crippled Qin Fen's cultivation. Lady Zhao was very angry and wanted Qin Yuechi to kill Qin Chen. At that moment, Liang Yu appeared just in time and stood in front of Qin Chen, delivering a harsh beating to Qin Fen. Liang Yu scolded Lady Zhao, who dared not argue back, considering her son had attacked first. Qin Fen was eventually driven away by Lady Zhao, who threatened Qin Chen, saying she would make him suffer as her son did.

Qin Chen reported Teacher Ge Hong, who naturally denied it. However, Qin Chen revealed the marked number plate, leaving Teacher Ge Hong with no excuses and getting him taken away. Liang Yu continued to follow Qin Chen, and Qin Chen appreciated his help. Though Liang Yu seemed very warm, he suddenly changed his demeanor when Zhao Lingshan arrived. He pretended to be serious but later returned to his cheerful self, knowing that by helping Qin Chen, Qin Chen might return the favor.

Next was Zhao Lingshan's turn to duel with her colleagues. Only Li Qingfeng, Zhao Lingshan, Wang Qiming, and Qin Chen advanced to the final showdown. In the first match, Zhao Lingshan faced Qin Chen. Liang Yu thought Zhao Lingshan could only make it to the top four and believed she couldn't defeat Qin Chen. During their duel, neither Qin Chen nor Zhao Lingshan used magical artifacts, which surprised Zhao Lingshan. They began the contest, and Zhao Lingshan didn't expect Qin Chen's cultivation to be so profound. His swordsmanship was extremely skilled, and she found herself unable to keep up with his abilities, realizing she hadn't mastered many of her spells.

Next is the showdown between Qin Chen and Zhao Lingshan. Zhao Lingshan didn't expect Qin Chen's magic to be so superior; he had mastered techniques she hadn't even learned. Many people thought Qin Chen wouldn't last long, but he proved to be formidable. Zhao Lingshan, not willing to be outdone, used her third-grade bloodline. Although powerful, she was surprised to find that Qin Chen was even stronger and ultimately lost the match. Everyone was astonished that the formidable Zhao Lingshan was defeated.

As Qin Chen was about to leave, Zhao Lingshan asked if he had used all his strength. Qin Chen simply replied that it didn't matter. Zhao Lingshan finally understood why Liang Yu valued Qin Chen so much; he was indeed exceptional. Next was the face-off between Li Qingfeng and Wang Qiming. Li Qingfeng confidently stated that Wang Qiming would definitely lose, and they engaged in a fierce battle. Both were powerful and determined not to yield. In the end, Wang Qiming's clothes were torn, and his injuries exposed. Li Qingfeng berated him, but Wang Qiming, as an ordinary person, was unwilling to admit defeat. He trained hard every day to change his fate and not be seen as weak by others. In the final confrontation, both Li Qingfeng and Wang Qiming showcased their skills, and Li Qingfeng ultimately defeated Wang Qiming. Wang Qiming vowed to win the next time, but Li Qingfeng arrogantly declared that he would surpass him, not even considering Wang Qiming a threat.

Next was the duel between Qin Chen and Li Qingfeng. Li Qingfeng believed that Qin Chen, with his current cultivation, stood no chance against him. Surprisingly, Qin Chen didn't even use his sword to face Li Qingfeng. Li Qingfeng launched his attacks, but Qin Chen adeptly countered his first move, much to Li Qingfeng's astonishment. Qin Chen also blocked the move that defeated Wang Qiming, leaving Li Qingfeng baffled. Li Qingfeng couldn't believe that Qin Chen was surpassing him, and everyone present was shocked. Unwilling to back down, Li Qingfeng even used bloodline power to enhance his attacks. Qin Chen managed to withstand his spells once again, leaving Li Qingfeng in disbelief. Finally, Li Qingfeng was knocked down, and to everyone's surprise, Qin Chen unleashed his Thunder Bloodline power. Qin Chen's mastery of bloodline abilities was unrivaled, and he emerged as the first-place winner in the examination. He looked at his mother, Qin Yuechi, who showed a pleased smile.

Li Qingfeng was stunned by his unexpected defeat and felt utterly embarrassed. Originally, Zhao Lingshan and Wang Qiming were to compete for third place, but Wang Qiming voluntarily surrendered. The headmaster told Qin Chen that his strength had been acknowledged and encouraged him to keep improving. The Spirit Martial King, as the referee, announced the rewards for the top four, which included the opportunity for blood mist baptism. Everyone envied this opportunity, as not everyone could obtain it.

Everyone present didn't expect that the victorious person would go to the Blood Mist Sacred Ground. Qin Chen heard the name "Blood Mist Sacred Ground" and found it familiar. It was a place hidden within the demon race that could enhance one's cultivation. Before the New Year, a military unit accidentally discovered this Blood Mist Sacred Ground, and their cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, leading them to victory in a subsequent war. Li Qingfeng also claimed that he would not lose to Qin Chen once he entered the Blood Mist Sacred Ground.

Liang Yu was flattering Qin Chen when he saw him. Even Zhao Lingshan's father advised her to interact more with Qin Chen. Although Zhao Lingshan was reluctant, she had no choice but to agree. Qin Yuechi was surprised that her son received so much attention.

As Qin Chen and Qin Yuechi were about to leave, Zhao Lingshan called out to Qin Chen and told him not to take her father's words too seriously. Qin Fen was injured and brought back home. He cried and told his mother that he didn't want to become useless. However, even a formidable master said that to cure Qin Fen, a sixth-grade elixir was needed, and only a fourth-grade elixir was available in the entire city.

Upon learning that Qin Chen had won first place, Zhao's lady was furious. She couldn't believe that even Li Qingfeng couldn't defeat Qin Chen. She sought her brother's help, hoping he could intervene. Deliberately distorting the truth, she hoped he would take her side. Her brother promised to investigate the matter thoroughly, considering Qin Chen's special identity and the need to tread carefully with him. This made Zhao's lady even angrier, and she decided to take matters into her own hands. She shared her plan with Qin Yong and warned him not to fail; otherwise, he would be punished.

The headmaster discovered Zhao's lady's attempt to maliciously frame Qin Chen. The Eastern Association leader was also concerned about Qin Chen, and the headmaster thought he wanted to take Qin Chen as a disciple. However, the Eastern Association leader surprised him by expressing the desire to become Qin Chen's mentor.

The emperor severely scolded the marquis upon learning of their attempts to win the competition through improper means. Zhao's lady acted as if she was wronged in front of the marquis, but he accused her of bribing the examiners. She believed she was not wrong and that the Qin family had always acted cautiously. However, her actions caused the emperor to berate her, tarnishing the Qin family's reputation. The marquis reluctantly suggested that they might have to sacrifice Qin Yong as a scapegoat, which Zhao's lady opposed, as she had already sent Qin Yong to kill Qin Yuechi and her son.

Upon learning this, the marquis had no choice but to hold a family meeting and publicly announce that Qin Yong had colluded with the examiners. To protect his son and wife, the marquis had to shift all responsibility to Qin Yong.

Meanwhile, Li Qingfeng was practicing at home when a masked man appeared and taunted him for losing the competition. The man turned out to be from the Shadow Kill Tower. As Li Qingfeng failed to complete the mission, he was punished severely by the man. The man wanted Li Qingfeng to retrieve something from the Five Nations for him, but Li Qingfeng refused to risk offending all nine clans. As a result, the man damaged Li Qingfeng's cultivation severely.

While Qin Chen was in the room, he suddenly sensed someone outside the door. To his surprise, it was his mother, Qin Yuechi. He invited her into the room. Qin Yuechi expressed her joy in seeing her son become the first place winner. She recounted how Qin Chen had fallen into a pond when he was young and had to be rescued, making her fear losing him. Qin Chen reassured his mother not to worry, as his bloodline had also awakened. Qin Yuechi hoped that he could make the most of the opportunity at the Blood Mist Sacred Ground.

Qin Chen was puzzled that his mother seemed to know a lot about martial arts-related matters, but Qin Yuechi quickly found an excuse for her knowledge. Qin Chen noticed that his mother deliberately misspoke, and she was indeed sensing that he had changed. So, she brought up stories from his childhood to test him, but Qin Chen answered appropriately, making her feel that she might have been overthinking things.

While Qin Chen was practicing, a sword suddenly appeared in front of him. When he touched it with his hand, he experienced a severe headache and found himself in a strange place where the Thunderblood Bloodline continuously poured into his body. He suddenly woke up and heard some strange sounds, seemingly related to an improvement in his cultivation.

At this time, Qin Yong had already brought his men to ambush Qin Chen and his mother. Fortunately, Qin Chen had already sensed something was amiss and prepared for it. Several black-clad figures entered and were caught in a deception mist. Unseen due to his invisibility technique, Qin Chen swiftly incapacitated them. It was his main purpose to deal with these attackers.

The marquis realized that the situation had escalated beyond his expectations, and he knew he had to eliminate Qin Chen. Qin Chen disguised himself as one of the black-clad attackers to lower their guard and took the opportunity to eliminate them. When Qin Yong's group arrived, they found their comrades dead, realizing that Qin Chen was indeed extraordinary. Qin Chen overheard Qin Yong discussing his plans to deal with Qin Yuechi and confronted him while still in disguise. Qin Yong recognized him as an imposter, and Qin Chen incapacitated his men without hiding.

Deputy Commander Zuo Li of the City Guards received orders to capture Qin Yong. They had a tough fight, but Zuo Li found himself unable to withstand Qin Yong's swordsmanship. With Qin Chen's guidance, Zuo Li managed to find a way to break through Qin Yong's defense. Acknowledging that he was outmatched, Qin Yong decided to retreat. However, as he attempted to escape, Qin Chen appeared behind him and knocked him unconscious.

Zuo Li and Qin Yong returned together, and Zuo Li appreciated Qin Chen's assistance. Qin Chen noticed that Zuo Li's meridians were damaged, and Zuo Li was surprised that Qin Chen could discern his injuries, which most people couldn't. Through Zuo Li, Qin Chen learned that these assassins were from the Shadow Kill Tower and were somehow connected to Zhao's lady. The Shadow Kill Tower was a mysterious organization, and its headquarters' location was unknown. Qin Chen was warned to be cautious, as the Shadow Kill Tower was relentless in achieving its goals.

Having subdued Qin Yong, Zuo Li felt relieved. As he was about to leave, Qin Chen stopped him.

Qin Fen was still very worried that Qin Yong's assassination attempt on Qin Chen and his mother would fail. Qin Yong had been gone for a long time without returning. Zhao Feng reassured her son not to worry and sent someone to check the situation when suddenly there were banging sounds. It turned out that Qin Yong had been killed. Zhao Feng was extremely worried about this development and informed Marquis Hou. The assassination plot had been exposed, and it would surely lead to the emperor's displeasure. At this moment, the second brother came to Marquis Hou and questioned him for mistreating his third sister and her child. He warned that he would take action if such treatment continued. Lingwu King arrived at the scene and heavily scolded Marquis Hou for being arrogant. Marquis Hou attempted to defend himself, but it was futile. Lingwu King reminded him not to forget his promises, and Marquis Hou could only nod and comply.

The emperor summoned Marquis Hou's family and rebuked them for colluding with the Shadow Kill Tower to assassinate Qin Chen. Marquis Hou hastily distanced himself from the incident and shifted all the blame onto Qin Yong. Lingwu King also tried to defend Marquis Hou. Some suggested a thorough investigation, and Lingwu King volunteered to investigate the matter personally. Soon, Qin Chen learned that the emperor had dispatched investigators to look into the assassination attempt on him.

Qin Chen and his good friend Lin Tian arrived at the Blood Vein Chamber to enhance Lin Tian's cultivation. Qin Chen handed the Blood Vein Stone to Lin Tian, and with Qin Chen's help, Lin Tian's cultivation improved. Qin Chen discovered that Lin Tian possessed a rare bloodline, much to Lin Tian's disbelief. The Eastern Hall Master confirmed this, which made Lin Tian believe it. The Eastern Hall Master realized that Qin Chen brought Lin Tian here because he valued him greatly. Thus, the Eastern Hall Master decided to grant a favor to Qin Chen and agreed to let Lin Tian study at the Blood Mist Sacred Ground.

Qin Chen thought of a suitable technique for Lin Tian's physique and gifted it to him, much to Lin Tian's delight. Lin Tian informed Qin Chen that today was the day of the Pharmacist Assessment, and he wanted to give it a try. Qin Chen suddenly thought that he needed a large amount of medicinal pills for his current cultivation level. He considered trying to become an alchemist himself. Lin Tian was surprised that Qin Chen wanted to join the assessment as well. After arriving with Lin Tian, Qin Chen saw Zhao Lingshan. Since Qin Chen didn't have the badge for the alchemist assessment, Zhao Lingshan didn't want to let him in. However, at that moment, a first-grade alchemist named Chun Mu arrived.

Qin Chen naturally did not show any respect and asserted that one didn't need a badge to enter the assessment for alchemist apprentices. Chun Mu found Qin Chen arrogant and wanted to see what he was capable of. Qin Chen accompanied Lin Tian and Zhao Lingshan to the examination hall. Zhao Lingshan was worried that Qin Chen wasn't confident enough, but he reassured her. During the assessment, the first round was a competition, and everyone received their exam papers to start answering the questions. The difficulty of Chun Mu's questions was very high, and many people couldn't answer them. However, to everyone's surprise, Qin Chen quickly finished all the questions, and they were all simple tasks for him.

Qin Chen looked at the two questions on the paper and found them very interesting. Although they seemed simple on the surface, they hid many traps. Lin Tian anxiously watched Qin Chen answer the questions because he couldn't solve many of them himself. However, Qin Chen stood up and announced that he had finished all the questions. The other examinees were all astonished.

Lin Tian took the chance when the examiners weren't paying attention to sneak a peek at Qin Chen's answers. The examiner took Qin Chen's paper and was surprised to see that he had answered many questions correctly. It was clear that one couldn't answer these questions correctly without rich experience. The examiners couldn't help but admire Qin Chen's abilities, especially considering he hadn't attended their classes.

After the exam ended, many people felt that the test was too difficult. The mastermind behind the questions, Liu Guang, appeared. Chen Mu and his group were criticizing the performance of the candidates, saying they had made too many mistakes. However, Liu Guang saw Qin Chen's answers and was impressed. Qin Chen's answers were even better than the standard answers Liu Guang had provided. Liu Guang was very pleased.

Chen Mu was shocked to see that Liu Guang was so satisfied with Qin Chen's answers. Liu Guang saw Qin Chen's answers and had an epiphany. He asked Chen Mu to bring Qin Chen for the second round of assessment. When the list for the second round was announced, Qin Chen's name was surprisingly absent. He was puzzled, but then Liu Guang came out and asked who Qin Chen was. Qin Chen stepped forward, and Liu Guang praised him.

Wei Zhen and Wei Zhen were very dissatisfied on the side. Liu Guang explained that the second round would test everyone's fire control ability. Wei Zhen was the first to come out, but his fire control ability didn't meet Liu Guang's expectations. Wei Zhen also failed the assessment. On the other hand, Zhao Lingshan passed the second round and was very happy.

Next was Li Qingfeng, who appeared confident. He also passed the assessment. Although others didn't know, Liu Guang was aware that Li Qingfeng wasn't particularly skilled. His bloodline contained fire attributes, making fire control easier for him compared to others. So Liu Guang didn't have high expectations for Li Qingfeng.

During Qin Chen's turn, Li Qingfeng mocked him, believing that Qin Chen wouldn't pass the second round. Wei Zhen and Wei Zhen also started mocking him, thinking he would fail. However, to everyone's surprise, Qin Chen split his fire control into three parts. Everyone, including Liu Guang, was amazed since this was not something most people could achieve.

Qin Chen's alchemy method unexpectedly impressed everyone present. Li Qingfeng couldn't accept it. Qin Chen seemed to achieve better results with only half the activation, leaving everyone astonished. Qin Chen explained his theory, even demonstrating the legendary Nine Tower Flames effortlessly. He then announced that Zhao Lingshan, Qin Chen, Wang An, and Li Qingfeng would participate in the third round of the assessment.

The third round began, and Qin Chen's alchemy method differed greatly from the others. People thought he might blow up, but to their surprise, he successfully refined the pill. All three masters couldn't believe that Qin Chen had produced a top-grade True Yuan Pill in such a short time. With half an hour left until the end of the assessment, only Qin Chen had succeeded among the four.

Li Qingfeng attempted to use Qin Chen's method but failed due to impatience. Wang An, though not producing a top-grade pill, still passed the round. Zhao Lingshan, like Qin Chen, quickly succeeded. Qin Chen naturally passed as well. Originally, Qin Chen was about to leave, but Liu Guang stopped him. Qin Chen expressed his desire to meet the Alchemy Pavilion's Master. Liu Guang reluctantly led him there. The Alchemy Pavilion's Master was named Xiao Ya. She wanted to see this remarkable person for herself.

Eventually, Liu Guang brought Xiao Ya over, and from afar, Qin Chen could smell the fragrance of rouge, indicating that the Alchemy Pavilion's Master was a woman. Xiao Ya was taken aback to find that such a young person was already a first-grade alchemist. After tasting the pills Qin Chen had made, Xiao Ya was astonished by their incredible effects. She asked Qin Chen about his refining process, and he casually mentioned making slight improvements to the formula and refining method, resulting in the doubled potency of the pill.

Qin Chen was willing to share the method with the Alchemy Pavilion but requested fifty percent of the profits. Liu Guang and his team thought Qin Chen was being unreasonable, but surprisingly, Qin Chen offered a pill formula that, once put into production, would yield considerable profits for the Alchemy Pavilion. Xiao Ya had to agree to Qin Chen's terms. Not only did Qin Chen want to cooperate, but he also asked Xiao Ya to help him gather some rare medicinal ingredients, which she managed to do quickly.

Xiao Ya also ordered her subordinates to investigate Qin Chen's background. She then helped Qin Chen refine the pills he needed. Xiao Ya knew that Qin Chen was Qin Yuechi's son. Qin Yuechi's ability was extraordinary as she was able to get pregnant without marriage. Worried that Qin Chen hadn't returned by night, Qin Yuechi felt relieved when she finally saw him back home.

Qin Yuechi and Qin Chen have settled in, and Qin Yuechi's second brother helped arrange everything. Just as Qin Chen entered his room, Left Commander came over, wanting to inquire about his meridians. Left Commander thought he would need to undress for treatment, but Qin Chen simply used flying needles, and in just a few minutes, all of Left Commander's meridians were unblocked. Left Commander was surprised that he, too, had the chance to restore his meridians. He knelt down to express gratitude to Qin Chen, never expecting to break through the Heaven-grade in his lifetime. He vowed to follow any orders Qin Chen gave without hesitation.

Qin Chen quickly helped Left Commander up, and in an instant, Left Commander had already dressed himself. The next morning, Qin Chen used spells to heal some ordinary spirit medicines at his doorstep. Three days later, Xiao Ya arrived with the refined pills. She and Liu Guang could already feel the rich spiritual energy from outside the door. At this moment, Qin Yuechi also arrived. When Qin Chen came out, Xiao Ya presented the pills she brought. Qin Chen didn't say whether he accepted or not, so Xiao Ya asked Liu Guang to bring them in. However, Liu Guang was shocked to see even larger pills of the same kind inside, making him drop the pills he was holding.

At this time, Xiao Ya also entered and couldn't help but admire Qin Chen's strength upon seeing the pills he cultivated. Qin Fen wanted to recover his strength as quickly as possible, and Zhao's mother was always advising her son not to be too hasty. Qin Fen swore that one day Qin Chen would pay the price. Currently, Xiao Ya's Alchemy Pavilion was selling pills with very high spiritual energy, causing suppression in other areas. Lin Family's Alchemy Pavilion received a harsh lesson for selling substandard goods and was ordered to move their belongings quickly. The Lin Family's Master wanted to argue, but the other party tried to smash their shop. Just then, Qin Chen arrived and naturally wouldn't allow them to bully the weak.

They accused the Lin Family's pills of being inferior, and at that moment, Liu Guang also arrived and severely reprimanded his subordinates, even declaring that he would no longer be associated with the Alchemy Pavilion. Liu Guang also gave a harsh beating to the nearby prince, and the prince could only leave dejectedly. The boss of the Lin Family, whose son was Lin Tian, learned about Qin Chen's relationship with his son and promised not to suppress the Lin Family's Alchemy Pavilion in the future. Liu Guang was surprised by this and didn't expect his son to have such a powerful friend.

Upon returning, Liu Guang shared today's events with Xiao Ya, who praised him for handling the situation well.

Qin Fen had been beaten severely because of Qin Chen, and he sought his mother's intervention. Zhao's mother was infuriated upon seeing her son being beaten again because of Qin Chen. She was determined to seek revenge for this grudge. Just then, Yan Zhi came to inform them that Prince Qi was also implicated in this matter. The emperor was informed about the incident where Qin Chen was almost framed, and he was extremely angry. However, his beloved concubine kept comforting him and trying to make him happy.

At this moment, Lingwu King and his entourage arrived, bringing Prince Qi with them. Prince Qi cried, asking the emperor for justice. Both sides blamed all the crimes on Qin Fen, leading to a commotion. Hou Lord kept speaking in defense of his son, but the emperor learned that Prince Qi had tried to harass Xiao Ya and got retaliated against. Since Prince Qi was notorious for his lecherous behavior, he couldn't explain this situation convincingly. Hou Lord had been talking about the faults of the Alchemy Pavilion, but now Prince Qi kneeled on the ground, feigning misery. The emperor's past admiration for Qin Yuechi was also brought up. Prince Qi sat on the ground, seemingly wronged, and even confessed his affection for Qin Yuechi, claiming that he was being slandered as a lecher, but he had never even met Xiao Ya.

Prince Qi said that he was over forty years old and still a virgin, surprising everyone present. The emperor ordered everyone to stop arguing, and the next task was to deal with the relationship with the Alchemy Pavilion. He then had his beloved concubine give an instruction, suggesting that Hou Lord and Prince Qi each propose a solution. The emperor agreed with the proposal and ordered that their ideas would be the basis for judgment, and whoever did well would be rewarded.

Prince Qi was terrified because he knew he couldn't handle this matter well. He quickly admitted his mistake. The emperor then sent someone to the Alchemy Pavilion to apologize on behalf of Prince Qi and punished Hou Lord with twenty beatings. Soon, Qin Fen learned that his father and Prince Qi were punished because of this matter. Zhao's mother decided to wait for Qin Fen's older brother to return before dealing with Qin Chen properly.

Meanwhile, Hou Lord came and told them not to cause any more trouble. However, at that moment, an imperial edict arrived, and Qin Fen was ordered to receive twenty beatings. For Qin Fen, who was already covered in injuries, this was like adding insult to injury. Zhao Lingshan came to inform Qin Chen that Qin Fen's older brother, Qin Feng, was coming back, and she advised Qin Chen to be cautious. However, Qin Chen didn't care at all.

Qin Feng finally returned, and his first action was to pay respects to the emperor. The emperor was delighted to see him. He then asked Qin Feng what kind of reward he wanted. The emperor wanted Qin Feng to win the first place in the Five Kingdoms Competition held in the Blood Mist Holy Land, and Qin Feng promised to do his best. Qin Feng also pleaded with the emperor to revoke Qin Chen's first place title, but the emperor refused directly.

Zhao Lingshan thought the emperor might be displeased with Qin Feng, but in fact, Zhao's father believed the emperor was doing this to weaken the power of the Qin family. Otherwise, the Qin family's influence would be too significant.

After Qin Feng returned home, his first action was to pay respects to his father and mother. The Qin family members were delighted to see him back. Qin Feng criticized Qin Chen, stating that he no longer considered Qin Chen as part of the Qin family. He then went to see his younger brother, Qin Fen, who was lying on the bed unable to move. Qin Fen cried and vowed to avenge himself. In truth, Qin Feng's cultivation had reached the peak of Earth level, and he was determined to leave Qin Chen as a cripple before he entered the Blood Mist Holy Land. This would allow Qin Fen to take revenge triumphantly.

Qin Feng challenged Qin Chen to a life-and-death duel and declared that he would be waiting for Qin Chen in the Life-and-Death Arena in three days. He even allowed Qin Chen to fight back with both hands. Lin Tian quickly informed Qin Chen about the challenge, but Qin Chen was not afraid and said he would not accept the challenge.

Since Qin Feng hadn't received any response from Qin Chen since he returned home, he decided to go to the Life-and-Death Arena and wait for Qin Fen. The three of them arrived, and a crowd had already gathered around the arena to watch the spectacle. Qin Fen pretended that he wanted to see how his brother would handle Qin Chen.

Upon learning about the life-and-death duel set by Qin Feng, Qin Chen simply wanted Xiao Ya to bring him the necessary medicinal materials from the Alchemy Pavilion. Liu Guang quickly fetched the materials, and Qin Chen wanted to refine an "Exploding Body Pill." Xiao Ya didn't know the recipe, but Qin Chen offered to guide her. They went to the pill refining room, and Qin Chen instructed Xiao Ya to add all the ingredients. Xiao Ya was a bit surprised but followed his instructions.

However, the temperature of the three furnaces was different. Xiao Ya was amazed by Qin Chen's superb alchemy skills, especially when her own furnace exploded due to an uncontrolled fire. Fortunately, Qin Chen was there to control the situation. Xiao Ya was impressed by his abilities.

The pill was soon refined. Liu Guang was wide-eyed at the sight. Although Xiao Ya and Liu Guang thought that the top-grade pill was already excellent, Qin Chen was not satisfied and said it needed further purification. Neither Xiao Ya nor Liu Guang had seen how to purify a pill, but Qin Chen quickly completed the task, improving it significantly, though not fully to his expectations.

Next, Qin Chen began to cultivate in the pill refining room prepared by Xiao Ya. Meanwhile, Qin Feng was still waiting for Qin Chen to come and fight in the Life-and-Death Arena. However, after waiting for a long time with no sign of Qin Chen, Qin Feng felt that any man would come back to accept the challenge. The common people also started to get impatient as it was uncomfortable to watch the show in the scorching heat.

Then, Qin Fen and Wei Zhen's group came to Qin Chen's home, wanting to meet him. However, the Left Commander stood guard at the door and defeated Wei Zhen and his brother, as well as Qin Fen. Li Qingfeng wanted to help, but he discovered that the Left Commander had a Heavenly-level cultivation, so they hurriedly fled.

Qin Feng was still waiting on the arena, thinking that Qin Chen, as a man, should have come back to accept the challenge. Wei Zhen and his group returned to the arena, and Qin Chen hadn't arrived yet. The spectators started to disperse, and Qin Feng became angry, feeling that Qin Chen was taking advantage of him.

Qin Feng was still waiting for Qin Chen, but Qin Chen didn't show up at all. Qin Feng felt that Qin Chen was taking things too far. On the other hand, Qin Chen was focused on strengthening his cultivation and believed that other matters were not a problem. He finally mastered the first layer of the Immortal Saint Body and happily claimed his achievement. Xiao Ya saw Qin Chen coming out and wanted to hold his arm, but Liu Guang quickly turned his head away.

At night, the Wei brothers spotted Qin Chen walking alone and saw an opportunity to punish him. Their subordinates had initially thought Qin Chen was powerless, but they were shocked when Qin Chen effortlessly defeated one of them. When the rest of the subordinates attacked together, Qin Chen used his newly acquired Immortal Saint Body to defeat them as well. Frightened, the Wei brothers left in a hurry.

Upon returning home, Qin Chen was sensed by the Left Commander, who realized that Qin Chen's cultivation had improved. Qin Chen immediately went to meet his mother, Qin Yuechi, who also noticed the improvement in her son's cultivation. Qin Chen told his mother to rest early.

Qin Feng was angry when he saw his injured brother, Qin Fen. Zhao Madam felt that Qin Chen was a coward for not coming out despite being scolded so much. Qin Feng thought that if Qin Chen continued to avoid the confrontation, he would be humiliated in the Blood Mist Holy Land and might even be bitten to death by wild beasts. Qin Fen was delighted with this prospect.

Today was the day to head to the Blood Mist Holy Land. Early in the morning, the Emperor sent someone to pick up Qin Chen. Before leaving, Qin Chen entrusted his mother to the Left Commander and then departed on his own. While walking, Qin Chen encountered Zhao Lingshan's carriage. The general was angry and wanted to drive Qin Chen away, but Qin Chen claimed to know Zhao Lingshan, which surprised the general. Zhao Lingshan came out and confirmed their acquaintance. Qin Chen directly got on her carriage, and she had no chance to refuse.

Inside the carriage, Qin Chen acted as if it were his home and even slept on Zhao Lingshan's bed, leaving her at a loss for words. Li Qingfeng was chatting with the Fourth Prince when Princess Zi Xun arrived and scolded Li Qingfeng severely. At that moment, Qin Feng also arrived and said that these people were not qualified to go to the Blood Mist Holy Land. Qin Feng and the Fourth Prince were always at odds since, in their previous contest, the Fourth Prince had been defeated by Qin Feng. The Fourth Prince had never been able to accept that fact.

Qin Feng didn't take anyone here seriously, and he even knocked Wang Qiming down. Just then, Zhao Lingshan's carriage arrived, and Zi Xun hurried to greet it, only to find Qin Chen inside. Zi Xun learned from Zhao Lingshan that Qin Chen had boarded her carriage midway. Zi Xun was very angry, but Zhao Lingshan tried to console her.

After Qin Chen went over, he found that everyone had gathered. Li Qingfeng noticed Qin Chen's disrespectful attitude towards Princess Zi Xun and asked Qin Chen to apologize, but Qin Chen completely ignored him. At this moment, the Crown Prince also arrived, and only then did Qin Feng stand up. The Crown Prince said he came to witness everyone's talents and then asked them to start competing with each other. The first match was between Li Qingfeng and Qin Chen. Li Qingfeng thought that his improved cultivation would surely allow him to defeat Qin Chen, but he ended up being defeated.

Zhao Lingshan was very worried about Qin Chen, but he was completely unharmed. Qin Feng tried to provoke Qin Chen, but the Fourth Prince and Princess Zi Xun intervened to stop him. However, Qin Feng still didn't give up, but when the Emperor arrived, he finally stopped. The Emperor informed everyone that Lin Tian possessed an extremely rare bloodline, so he was allowed to go to the Blood Mist Holy Land as well. The Eastern Sect Leader also took the opportunity to inquire about some matters related to Qin Chen, and the Emperor allowed them to continue discussing.

Lin Tian was delighted that he could go to the Blood Mist Holy Land with Qin Chen, and Princess Zi Xun couldn't help but smile. Li Qingfeng sneered at Lin Tian. Later, everyone boarded the Qingying and headed to the Blood Mist Holy Land. Zhao Lingshan voluntarily asked to sit with Qin Chen. Qin Feng knew he had lost the opportunity to take action and could only plan for revenge on his brother, Qin Fen, in the Yaozu Mountains. Qin Feng was determined to find an opportunity to avenge his brother.

The Five Nations Competition was also a test for this group of people. Qin Feng was steady on the Qingying, but Qin Fen was lying on its back. Zhao Lingshan noticed that Qin Fen seemed uncomfortable and used her true energy to protect him, which made Qin Fen feel much better. Li Qingfeng tried to set a trap for Qin Chen, hoping he would fall off the Qingying, but Qin Chen transferred his mana to the Qingying. The sudden fright made the Qingying a little angry, and everyone quickly took their positions.

The leader then questioned who had startled the Qingying. Li Qingfeng thought his spell was discreet enough, but unexpectedly, Qin Chen stood up and accused Li Qingfeng of tampering with the Qingying. Li Qingfeng tried to defend himself, but his panic was evident. He was sternly reprimanded, and he could only endure the scolding silently.

Several days later, they finally arrived at the Yaozu Mountains, and the Five Nations Competition was about to begin. Everyone needed to display their unique skills to bring honor to their respective countries.

Soon, Qin Chen and his group finally arrived at the Yaozu Mountains and quickly reached the entrance of the Blood Mist Holy Land. Some of them complained at the entrance, feeling that the slots this time were reserved for the royal relatives. Although they had the qualifications to participate, they couldn't enter the Blood Mist Holy Land. Li Qingfeng and the Fourth Prince exchanged a few words, but the group felt very aggrieved, considering themselves mere commoners, while only the royal relatives could enter the Blood Mist Holy Land. At this moment, King Lingwu stepped forward and said that as long as they could defeat any one of Li Qingfeng's group, they would qualify to enter the Blood Mist Holy Land.

Soon, they volunteered to challenge Wang Qiming. He immediately went out to fight and defeated his opponent with just one move, breaking two ribs. Another person stepped forward to challenge Qin Chen, and they deliberately chose what they perceived as the weakest individuals. Qin Chen accepted the challenge and easily defeated his opponent with a single move. After both of them failed, the others didn't dare to continue challenging. King Lingwu warned that this time's Five Nations Ceremony might involve casualties and was more important than they had thought. King Wuling asked Qin Chen and his group to rest temporarily, and he would inform them when the Blood Mist Holy Land officially opened.

Qin Chen noticed that Wang Qiming was practicing and went over to greet him. Wang Qiming was passionate about swords and even practiced while holding one. After finishing his cultivation, Qin Chen found that Wang Qiming was still practicing elsewhere, so he went over and told him that he wouldn't comprehend the true essence of the sword by continuing this way. However, Wang Qiming ignored him and revealed that he was taking a lot of pain-relieving pills. Qin Chen warned him that his hands might become disabled if he continued like this. As Qin Chen was about to leave, Wang Qiming called him back and reluctantly asked for his help. He didn't want to become a useless person and hoped Qin Chen could assist him.

Qin Chen agreed not to ignore his condition since he knew the cause of his ailment. He then used a few silver needles to quickly help Wang Qiming recover, and suddenly, Wang Qiming felt his strength greatly increased. Wang Qiming was very grateful to Qin Chen for his help. Qin Chen said he didn't want to see a genius lose his chance and then taught Wang Qiming another technique, which resulted in Wang Qiming having many insights. Wang Qiming knelt on the ground, holding the sword in his hands, realizing that there were no dead ends in this world. When he was young, he practiced swordsmanship with his father, and even after his father passed away, he left the sword to Wang Qiming. So, no matter how bullied he was, he would never be separated from his sword. He then went to take the exam and was mocked by others. However, he realized that as long as he comprehended the intent of the sword, he could overcome any obstacle. Afterwards, Wang Qiming stood up and tried his sword, and indeed, his mana had increased significantly.

Wang Qiming was very grateful to Qin Chen for helping him improve his cultivation. Qin Chen thought it was a trivial matter, but Wang Qiming said he would never let Li Qingfeng bully Qin Chen as long as he was around. Now, Qin Chen had Lin Tian and Wang Qiming by his side. Lin Tian was still worried that they might lose when competing against the Five Nations together, but Qin Chen felt it wouldn't be a problem.

After the Five Nations Competition, Wang Qiming planned to travel around. Qin Chen suddenly thought of his own experience of betrayal and fell into contemplation. Lin Tian assured him that he would always support Qin Chen, but he worried about being a burden to him. Li Qingfeng approached them, and Qin Chen stopped Lin Tian and Wang Qiming. He felt that Li Qingfeng seemed suspicious and might cause problems during the competition. Qin Chen then taught them a set of tactics that could help them when the time came.

In another incident, the prince of Zhao deliberately provoked the people of Xuan Kingdom, and the general of Xuan Kingdom came forward to fight, only to be defeated by the top expert of Zhao. The prince made fun of him on the side. At this moment, the Fourth Prince of Xuan Kingdom and Princess Zi Xun also arrived and taunted Zhao in response. Since they were being provoked, they decided to have a fair competition. The Fourth Prince of Xuan Kingdom stepped forward, surprisingly blocking the opponent's attack, and then the two sides began to fight. However, someone tried to attack the Fourth Prince, and Li Qingfeng and Qin Feng also arrived. King Lingwu also joined, and the opponent had no choice but to leave first.

King Lingwu knew that there were people nearby who wanted to make fun of Xuan Kingdom. They were from the Guixian Sect, and he warned everyone to be cautious not only of the other four nations but also of the Guixian Sect. Later, King Lingwu led everyone to a dark place. Lin Tian always followed Qin Chen, and people from the other four nations also came. They mocked King Lingwu, trying to force Xuan Kingdom to withdraw. Qin Chen noticed that Xuan Kingdom had made quite a few enemies among the five nations, and everyone might be in danger.

At this moment, You Qianxue from the Lingtian Sect also arrived. There would be a lot of corrosive things in the Blood Mist Holy Land, so Zi Xun prepared clothes for Zhao Lingshan. Everyone then entered the Blood Mist Holy Land, and Qin Chen observed everything. He knew that everyone would be displaced to different places, making it difficult for them to meet each other. Here, the value of everything was immeasurable. Not only Qin Chen but also others would feel intense pain. Some people couldn't bear it and tried to channel their true qi, but it backfired. Qin Chen decided to hold back and not continue moving forward.

Qin Chen continued to move forward, and Wang Qiming and Lin Tian felt that every step was very difficult. Lin Tian couldn't hold on any longer and asked Wang Qiming to rest for a moment while he continued. Suddenly, Wang Qiming felt someone approaching them from outside, and he could even sense that the person was coming towards them. It turned out to be Qin Chen, and Wang Qiming and Lin Tian were delighted to see him. Wang Qiming was surprised that Qin Chen could sense their location. Qin Chen then led Wang Qiming and Lin Tian to move forward, but they were struggling to keep up. Qin Chen transferred some spiritual energy to them to help.

Qin Chen told Wang Qiming and Lin Tian to rest while he continued ahead. Qin Feng also found it tough, but his cultivation had improved after this experience. He encountered an opponent and almost fought with them. The members of the Guixian Sect were indeed formidable.

On the other side, Qin Chen found a place to start his cultivation. Someone accidentally left the Blood Mist Holy Land and was told they couldn't re-enter. Many people gained a lot from the Blood Mist Holy Land, and the longer they stayed there, the stronger their power became. King Lingwu didn't know who would be the final survivor this time.

After finishing his cultivation, Qin Chen saw marrow crystals. The value of marrow crystals was immeasurable, and Qin Chen collected all the marrow crystals in the vicinity. Qin Chen encountered a four-fold formation and accidentally entered the girls' area. He met You Qianxue, who thought he had deliberately intruded and even risked using spells against him to eliminate him. Qin Chen defended himself with his own spells and eventually left. You Qianxue chased after him, and that's when Qin Chen encountered Zhao Lingshan. Zhao Lingshan was a bit embarrassed. Princess Zi Xun sensed someone nearby, and You Qianxue also arrived.

Luckily, Qin Chen managed to hide, and with Zhao Lingshan's help, he wasn't discovered. Since Zhao Lingshan had helped him, Qin Chen transmitted some of his mana to her. After that, Qin Chen felt a bit embarrassed and left first. Thanks to Qin Chen's help, Zhao Lingshan, who was struggling to hold on, now felt much relieved.

Many people came out of the Blood Mist Holy Land one after another, each with their own gains. King Lingwu looked at the crowd, but no one from Xuan Kingdom had come out yet, which made him start to worry. Unexpectedly, the first to come out was Li Qingfeng, who had thought that Qin Chen's group had already left. When he learned that they were still inside, he felt a bit embarrassed. Two days had passed, and Lin Tian and Wang Qiming came out. Wang Qiming had also broken through to the Heaven-grade level. Zhao Lingshan and Princess Zi Xun also came out, but Qin Feng and Qin Chen were still inside.

Everyone didn't expect that Qin Chen and Qin Feng had not come out yet. Li Qingfeng even boasted that Qin Chen must have died inside. The members of the Wuji and the Third Prince from the other side had already come out, and soon You Qianxue also came out, followed by Qin Feng. This time, the participants spent a long time inside the Blood Mist Holy Land, and now only Qin Chen was still inside. You Qianxue believed that the perverted thief who peeked at her had not come out yet, and that meant Qin Chen was still inside. Eventually, Qin Chen was the last one to come out. He claimed that he had finished practicing on the second day but got lost inside. You Qianxue saw Qin Chen and felt very disdainful. Many people mocked Qin Chen for getting lost in the Blood Mist Holy Land, but Qin Chen had actually deceived everyone. He had practiced inside the Blood Mist Holy Land for a longer time.

Wang Qiming naturally didn't believe that Qin Chen got lost, and Qin Chen told him the truth. The next day, they arrived at the preliminary site of the Five Nations Grand Competition. Wei Tianming from the You Kingdom claimed to be the number one expert. The competition officially began. The contestants were teleported to a place three hundred kilometers away. Qin Chen's first encounter was with the Third Prince of the Zhao Kingdom. The Third Prince looked down on Qin Chen and thought he could defeat him easily. However, in the end, Qin Chen defeated him, and the Third Prince quickly escaped. Li Qingfeng encountered the Fourth Prince and offered to team up with him to protect him. Just then, Wang Qiming also arrived, and the Fourth Prince was willing to go with Wang Qiming. It turned out that Li Qingfeng planned to deal with the Fourth Prince and Wang Qiming. Wang Qiming was surprised that Li Qingfeng would target his own people.

Later, Li Qingfeng made a move against the two, and he said that he would spare the Fourth Prince if he answered a few questions. Li Qingfeng thought he could defeat Wang Qiming, but Qin Chen had already anticipated that Li Qingfeng would go after the Fourth Prince. So he asked Wang Qiming to protect the Fourth Prince. Li Qingfeng was caught off guard by Wang Qiming's improved spellcasting. Wang Qiming asked Li Qingfeng to surrender, but Li Qingfeng refused and tried to escape. However, Li Qingfeng's jade card was also broken, so he would eventually be taken out. The Third Prince of the Zhao Kingdom defeated all the disciples from the Xuan Kingdom. Just when they were about to be killed, they managed to escape.

Qin Feng was still searching for Qin Chen's whereabouts in the jungle. He vowed to avenge his brother Qin Fen, and the Yaozu Mountain Range would be Qin Chen's burial ground.

The disciples from the Xuan Kingdom were defeated and harmed by the Third Prince of the Zhao Kingdom, but the Zhao Kingdom people thought it was only natural as the strong survive in competitions. Soon, many others started coming out one after another, indicating that quite a few participants had been eliminated. Among them, there were many from the Xuan Kingdom, which showed the ongoing struggle between Xuan and Zhao Kingdoms. The King of the Lingwu Kingdom was watching everything unfold.

At this time, Qin Chen had already dealt with three pipa players from the Zhao Kingdom, and he planned to take care of the rest as well. Unexpectedly, he encountered You Qianxue. She believed Qin Chen had taken advantage of her during their previous encounter and wanted to make him pay. Qin Chen, however, claimed that it was an accident. Despite his explanations, You Qianxue was unwilling to let him go, and they engaged in a battle. Qin Chen didn't fight back aggressively but instead tried to block You Qianxue's attacks. In the end, he defeated her with just one move, though he could have killed her. Still, he chose to leave instead.

Afterward, Lin Tian and the group found Qin Chen, and Lin Tian was very happy to see him. Zhao Lingshan persuaded Princess Zi Xun to cooperate with Qin Chen, as they needed to deal with participants from other countries. With Zhao Lingshan's strong persuasion, Princess Zi Xun finally agreed. Zhao Lingshan also told Qin Chen not to mind what Princess Zi Xun had said before. Suddenly, Qin Chen felt someone preparing to ambush them. It turned out to be the Third Prince and Nie Wuji working together, planning to kill all participants from the Xuan Kingdom. Zhao Lingshan warned everyone that Nie Wuji was well-prepared this time, and they needed to be cautious.

Lin Tian worried that something might happen, so he took out a jade pendant, but it proved useless. They had been cut off from the outside world, and the enemies intended to kill all participants from the Xuan Kingdom. Zhao Lingshan fought with the Third Prince, and Nie Wuji used his spells. The group of enemies wanted to kill Qin Chen together, but their main objective was to break the large formation. Unfortunately, Lin Tian was knocked down during the battle, but Qin Chen wouldn't let him be harmed. The Third Prince mocked Zhao Lingshan, and eventually, Zhao Lingshan was also knocked down. Nie Wuji even injured Princess Zi Xun. Seeing everyone injured, Qin Chen no longer held back and directly fought back, injuring all of them. Qin Chen destroyed Nie Wuji's formation, which surprised Nie Wuji. He believed his formation was invincible, but Qin Chen managed to break it.

Qin Chen told them to leave, and he even forced Lin Tian to go back first. However, Princess Zi Xun refused to leave.

Even though Nie Wuji used formations, they made various excuses to justify their actions. Although the Lingwu King was very dissatisfied, he could only swallow his anger as the strong prevailed in the competition. Currently, Qin Chen's group had not come out yet, and the Lingwu King was extremely worried.

Qin Chen was still confronting Nie Wuji, while Zhao Lingshan and the Third Prince were also engaged in a fierce battle. The Third Prince used a poisonous tactic, causing Zhao Lingshan to collapse and lose her strength. Qin Chen sensed that something had happened to Zhao Lingshan. Just as the Third Prince was about to defeat her, Qin Chen rushed over to protect her, not willing to leave her alone. He sealed the poison on Zhao Lingshan's shoulder and assured her that he would take care of everything.

Qin Chen began to fight against both the Third Prince and Nie Wuji. Nie Wuji couldn't believe that Qin Chen could control his own magic tool even after waking up. He was shocked that Qin Chen had learned what took him three months to master in less than an hour, and his power surpassed Nie Wuji's. The Third Prince was utterly unwilling to accept this and continued to use his ultimate move against Qin Chen. Zhao Lingshan regained some strength and fought alongside Qin Chen against them. The Third Prince was knocked out by Qin Chen, and Nie Wuji, who had cultivated the Blood Demon Art, tried to attack Qin Chen and Zhao Lingshan. Qin Chen warned Zhao Lingshan to step back, but Nie Wuji took the opportunity to poison both of them, making it difficult for them to resist.

Meanwhile, not far away, Qin Feng witnessed the situation. The overconfident Nie Wuji was gloating, thinking that Qin Chen was as good as dead, but he was swiftly defeated by Qin Chen. Even though Qin Chen was injured, he managed to harm Nie Wuji as well. The Third Prince woke up from his unconscious state, and Qin Chen continued to confront Nie Wuji. The Third Prince was hit by the fight's aftershocks and fainted again, while Nie Wuji was seriously injured and collapsed on the ground.

Qin Chen thought this ordeal was over, but to his surprise, Qin Feng appeared. Qin Chen had intended to leave with the jade pendant, but Qin Feng snatched it away. Qin Feng's goal was to kill Qin Chen, and he even claimed that Qin Yuechi would follow the same fate. Qin Feng considered Qin Yuechi a traitor to the Qin family. Thinking that Qin Chen was heavily poisoned, Qin Feng attacked him. However, Qin Chen was not as severely poisoned as Qin Feng had thought. Taking advantage of the situation, Qin Chen attacked Qin Feng, causing severe damage to his right arm. Qin Chen's intention was to lure Qin Feng out, but to his dismay, Qin Feng had already been poisoned when he snatched the jade pendant, making it impossible for him to use his inner true energy. Qin Feng believed he could defeat Qin Chen, but he ended up injured and had to retreat.

Afterward, Qin Chen helped the poisoned Zhao Lingshan and noticed her condition was quite severe. He decided to find a quiet place for her to recover. Qin Chen raised his cultivation level to have a stronger ability to aid her healing. After receiving treatment from Qin Chen, Zhao Lingshan's poison was finally removed.

Wang Qiming and Princess Zi Xun's group finally found Zhao Lingshan and Qin Chen. However, they saw that Zhao Lingshan was wearing thin clothes, and Princess Zi Xun thought that Qin Chen had bullied her. Fortunately, Zhao Lingshan quickly explained the situation and reassured them. They learned from Princess Zi Xun that Nie Wuji and the Third Prince were both dead. Fourth Prince told everyone not to divulge this information to anyone, and they all promised to keep it secret. Other people from different countries initially thought that the people from Xuan Kingdom would be the first to be eliminated. However, they soon noticed that people from other countries were coming out one after another, only to collapse shortly afterward. The outside world had no idea what was happening.

One person who came out quickly asked the physicians to treat the fallen participants. With the physicians' efforts, one person was finally revived. They later learned that Xuan Kingdom had already besieged Zhao Kingdom, and there was no sign of the Third Prince and Nie Wuji. The time for the assessment was up, and it was considered over.

Li Qingfeng came out promptly, but Fourth Prince sent people to stop him, claiming that Li Qingfeng had viciously attacked Fourth Prince inside. The Lingwu King hurriedly left with his people. However, the Zhao Kingdom's group had been waiting for the Third Prince and Nie Wuji, and they had no idea of their whereabouts. They felt something was not right. The people who came out informed them that they had seen the corpses of the Third Prince and Nie Wuji, but the Zhao Kingdom's group naturally didn't believe it.

At this time, the injured Qin Feng also came out. He felt embarrassed and claimed to have injured his hand while encountering a fierce beast. He deliberately said that Qin Chen had killed the Third Prince and Nie Wuji. Zhao Lingshan wanted to stop Qin Feng, but he intentionally tried to provoke them to create discord, hoping to incite the Zhao Kingdom's people to kill Qin Chen. The Lingwu King quickly stood in front of Qin Chen, and everyone else supported him. Qin Chen asked everyone to step back, and he faced the Zhao Kingdom's people alone. Just when the two sides were about to engage in battle, Wei Tianming stopped them. Everyone didn't understand why Wei Tianming would stop them. He explained that the Five Kingdoms' major competition had already ended, and Qin Chen stated that the Third Prince and Nie Wuji did not die by his hand. Qin Chen deliberately shifted the blame onto Qin Feng and accused him of being the one to kill them. Qin Feng realized he was being set up by Qin Chen but didn't know how to explain.

Coincidentally, someone found clothing beside the Third Prince's body that was identical to what Qin Feng was wearing. Qin Feng wanted to explain and tried to use his true energy, but it backfired, causing him to spit out blood. The other party became angry and directly knocked him down. Despite the enmity between Qin Feng and Qin Chen, Qin Chen still defended Qin Feng when facing the enemy. This way of handling things gained everyone's approval. Zhao Kingdom still sought revenge, but Wei Tianming would not allow it and promised to seek revenge on Qin Feng for them. Wei Tianming declared the competition over, and they would meet again in six months for the arena duel.

Wei Tianming and his people then left, and it could be said that this time Xuan Kingdom had regained some confidence. However, Qin Feng was very dissatisfied because he had also knelt before Qin Chen this time. The Lingwu King went to interrogate Li Qingfeng, but Li Qingfeng firmly denied framing the Fourth Prince. Qin Chen asked if he had colluded with others, but Li Qingfeng still refused to reveal the purpose and mastermind behind the assassination of the Fourth Prince. With a disdainful smile, Li Qingfeng knew that he was doomed to die. He shouted that he knew nothing, but Qin Chen offered to help him. Then, Qin Chen revealed the pain in Li Qingfeng's body, surprising him. In truth, Li Qingfeng was also being controlled. The other party used physical pain to control him.

Li Qingfeng originally promised to reveal the identity of the mastermind, but suddenly a mysterious force invaded his body. Qin Chen and his group tried to save him, but Li Qingfeng eventually died. After all, he was heavily poisoned. The Lingwu King approached to examine the situation inside Li Qingfeng's body, and Qin Chen couldn't help but feel that controlling Li Qingfeng in such a short time was definitely not simple. Then the Lingwu King asked Qin Chen if he could cure Li Qingfeng continuously, but Qin Chen simply said that it was just a guess and couldn't guarantee a complete cure. Qin Chen looked at the Lingwu King thoughtfully and then left.

Upon learning of Xuan Kingdom's complete victory in the Five Kingdoms' major competition, the Xuan Kingdom's Emperor was very happy and even said he would reward Qin Chen generously. Qin Feng felt uncomfortable hearing this and vowed to find a way to kill Qin Chen eventually. Princess Zi Xun, on the other hand, told her father the truth. She revealed that it was Qin Chen's merit to be able to kill the Third Prince and Nie Wuji. Even when Zhao Lingshan was injured, Qin Feng didn't come out, and he even wanted to collude with Nie Wuji. Princess Zi Xun kept criticizing Qin Feng, but her father asked her to rest for a while.

Soon, news of the Five Kingdoms' major competition spread throughout Xuan Kingdom, and everyone knew that Qin Chen was a hero. Qin Feng, who used to be the most powerful person, was surprised to find that Qin Chen had become the number one warrior of Xuan Kingdom. When Qin Feng returned home, his mother, Madam Zhao, saw him injured and became very angry. She vowed not to let Qin Chen and Qin Yuechi have an easy life, and she ended up being scolded by her husband.

After returning to the lake area, Qin Chen's mother, Qin Yuechi, was still very worried about him. Qin Chen actually wanted to know about his origins, but his mother believed that it would not be a good thing for him if someone found out. Wang Qiming came to find Qin Chen, and Lin Tian and Wang Qiming thought they could join forces to defeat Qin Chen. However, they were still defeated by Qin Chen.

Marquis Hou went to see the Lingwu King, and the Lingwu King asked about Li Qingfeng. However, he learned that Li Qingfeng's father had already escaped.

Upon learning that Li Qingfeng's father had left, the Emperor became very angry. Then, the Lingwu King handed a mask to the Emperor. He also mentioned that they found many things related to the Shadow Kill Tower in Li Qingfeng's residence, suggesting that the mastermind behind Li Qingfeng might have connections with the Shadow Kill Tower. The Emperor was furious upon hearing this and vowed to find the mastermind. As for Li Qingfeng's father, he wanted to see the body even if he was dead.

Xiao Ya came to find Qin Chen, and Lin Tian was captivated by her beauty. Qin Chen came to give her the prescription for refining a pill this time. Xiao Ya quickly sent someone to prepare the necessary medicinal materials for the pill. Afterward, Qin Chen prepared to refine the pill and asked Lin Tian and Wang Qiming to join him. Liu Guang was also excited to follow Qin Chen. Later, Qin Chen asked Xiao Ya to move ahead and gave her a special spirit stone from the deepest part of the Blood Mist Holy Land. Xiao Ya was surprised to receive it as obtaining such a spirit stone was not easy.

Soon, Li Qingfeng's father was found and was beaten up. He denied that his son would kill the Fourth Prince and insisted that someone framed his son. The Fourth Prince was furious and directly beat up Li Qingfeng's father. Now they were about to go to war, and the Emperor was very worried because Zhao Kingdom was also strong. The Emperor wanted to contact the border, but there was no news from there. He sent someone to investigate and was very angry about the situation.

Qin Chen gave the Blood Mist Spirit Medicine to Wang Qiming and Lin Tian, and their abilities were greatly enhanced. Then, Xiao Ya took Qin Chen to her practice room. She originally wanted to accompany him in cultivation, but Qin Chen refused. Later, Qin Chen began to continue his cultivation. He obtained a mysterious ancient sword but still didn't understand its mystery. Qin Chen whispered something to Xiao Ya after finishing cultivation, and Liu Guang was very curious. He wanted to ask, but Xiao Ya left directly.

Unexpectedly, the mastermind behind Li Qingfeng was the Lingwu King, and the so-called mask was also in his hands. Qin Chen went to find the Lingwu King, who hid the mask. Qin Chen said he came to consult with the Lingwu King about something, and the Lingwu King offered him good tea. Qin Chen said he came for the matter of Li Qingfeng's death. The Lingwu King repeatedly emphasized that Li Qingfeng's death was an accident, but Qin Chen believed that someone triggered the poison inside Li Qingfeng's body. There were only a few people present at the time, and Qin Chen deliberately wanted to test the Lingwu King. However, the Lingwu King didn't say anything and changed the topic. He also warned Qin Chen to be careful about the Gui Xian Sect.

After Qin Chen left, the Lingwu King finally revealed his true feelings. He thought that Qin Chen already believed he was not the culprit, but Qin Chen had his own thoughts. Qin Yuechi had been waiting at the doorstep for Qin Chen to return, and she felt relieved when she saw him return. Qin Yuechi wanted to make a midnight snack for Qin Chen, but he hurriedly went back to his room.

Mrs. Zhao and Qin Fen were both very worried. After all, everyone was now chasing after Nian Wuji. Mrs. Zhao's brother also came, and she hoped that he could help Qin Fen. However, he said that the only person who could stop Nian Wuji now was the Lingwu King. Finally, Qin Feng blurted out that it was all Qin Chen's doing; Qin Chen was the mastermind behind it all, and he was the one who injured Qin Feng. Mrs. Zhao's brother planned to take Qin Feng and Mrs. Zhao to see the Emperor, but Mrs. Zhao felt that Qin Chen was now favored by the Emperor.

In fact, the reason the Emperor protected Qin Chen was not only because Qin Chen won the Grand Exam, but also because he wanted Qin Chen and Qin Feng to fight each other, so he could reap the benefits. Now, people from the Gui Xian Sect had come to the outskirts of Xuan Kingdom, and the Ancestor Nie Shi brought his subordinates. He sent people to Qin Chen's residence, but Qin Chen was already prepared and had Lin Tian and Wang Qiming stay there. The two wanted to use formations to control each other. Wang Qiming's power had also increased, and the opponent thought that all of this could not hurt them. They originally thought they could bind the people from the Gui Xian Sect, but their strength turned out to be very strong, and Wang Qiming and Lin Tian were defeated. However, they would not give up. After a fierce battle, the opponents sensed that Lin Tian and Wang Qiming's strength was too strong and planned to escape. However, they were unexpectedly struck down by a very powerful palm, and when they saw the true face of the attacker, it turned out to be Qin Yuechi. However, the people from the Gui Xian Sect were not actually dead; they were pretending to be lying on the ground.

Now that Qin Yuechi had also come, Lin Tian and Wang Qiming began to worry about Qin Chen's safety. On the other side, Mrs. Zhao and Qin Feng went to see the Emperor. Mrs. Zhao's brother quickly informed the Emperor of Qin Chen's situation and felt that it was all Qin Chen's scheme; he was the mastermind. There were still people who were speaking up for Qin Chen. Mrs. Zhao gave her husband a look, and Lord Hou also spoke up for his son, Qin Feng. The Emperor asked the Lingwu King to give his opinion, but at this moment, a subordinate reported that the people from the Gui Xian Sect had already gone to Qin Chen's residence. Mrs. Zhao's family began to worry. The Lingwu King pleaded with the Emperor to send people to kill the Gui Xian Sect as they were being too audacious. The Emperor also sent people to quickly surround the Gui Xian Sect near the city gates. Now, they must absolutely protect the safety of the capital.

Then the Emperor asked Lord Hou to go back and take a look and asked Qin Feng and Mrs. Zhao to stay here. However, unexpectedly, Nian Shuo directly barged into the main hall, and the Emperor was very worried. Nian Shuo said that today, no one would come to save the Emperor. The Emperor was also very angry and had not relaxed until now. However, unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhao's brother joined forces with Nian Shuo; they wanted to kill the Emperor. Nian Shuo directly struck Qin Feng down with a palm, not caring whether Qin Feng killed his son. Mrs. Zhao's brother was willing to sacrifice his own nephew to achieve his goals. Qin Feng, severely injured, fell into Mrs. Zhao's embrace. Before he died, Qin Feng told his mother that his uncle was too scheming and asked her to take good care of his younger brother. Mrs. Zhao completely collapsed.

Qin Feng was killed by Nian Shuo like that, and Lord Hou was very angry. Mrs. Zhao's brother even wanted Nian Shuo to kill the Emperor. However, at this moment, the Lingwu King also arrived. Not only did the Lingwu King come, but Qin Chen and his group also came. In fact, they never left; they just wanted to expose Mrs. Zhao's brother's true colors. He was even the master of the Shadow Killing Tower. Mrs. Zhao's brother started mocking, saying that the Emperor was just afraid of him and that he wanted the Qin brothers to fight each other. Mrs. Zhao's brother claimed that everything he did was for self-preservation, and the Emperor even mentioned that Mrs. Zhao was prepared when she married into the Qin family. The Qin family's patriarch had already guessed Zhao Zhen's conspiracy, which was why he had been staying on the frontier. Zhao Zhen thought he would surely win this time, but he did not realize that his military power had already been controlled.

Qin Chen and his group protected the Emperor, and the next step was to confront Nian Shuo. Unexpectedly, the Emperor also used the Fumo Array. Nian Shuo believed that these formations couldn't stop him, but he underestimated the Emperor's power. Both sides engaged in a fierce battle. Nian Shuo's strength was still formidable, and everyone tried to stop him. The Lingwu King also took action.

The Lingwu King and Nian Shuo continued their intense battle in the sky, and their strengths were evenly matched. Nian Shuo was temporarily suppressed by Qin Wuwang, but the Lingwu King would not give up. Qin Chen and his group came to assist the Lingwu King, but even though the Lingwu King's cultivation could suppress Nian Shuo, he was still defeated by Nian Shuo. Then Qin Chen took action. Nian Shuo naturally did not put Qin Chen in his eyes, and Zhao Zhen even said that today was the Emperor's day of death. The Emperor asked everyone to help him defeat Nian Shuo and Zhao Zhen.

In the end, the combined strength of Zhao Zhen and Nian Shuo was no match, and Qin Yuechi arrived with Wang Qiming and Lin Tian. Qin Chen saw this and used his ultimate move. In this way, Qin Chen defeated Nian Shuo, and Zhao Zhen wanted to seize the opportunity to kill the Emperor but was stopped by Qin Yuechi.

Even though Nian Shuo was defeated, he was determined to fight to the death, but Qin Chen was no longer afraid. Qin Chen blocked all of Nian Shuo's attacks, and Nian Shuo couldn't believe that someone could defeat him. In the end, Nian Shuo was directly killed by Qin Chen, and Mrs. Zhao killed her brother Zhao Zhen with a single stroke. Mrs. Zhao sought revenge for her son Qin Feng, who was killed by Zhao Zhen. Nian Shuo still had a trace of breath, but when he woke up, he forgot everything, even his own identity. Qin Chen used magic to control Nian Shuo and told him his name, hoping to change him from now on. Qin Chen was delighted to see his mother, and Lord Hou apologized to his sister and Qin Chen.

Lord Hou pleaded with his sister, Qin Yuechi, to return home, but Qin Yuechi still refused. When Qin Chen and his mother were about to leave, Zhao Lingshan called out to Qin Chen and said she wouldn't lose to him in the Five Nations Tournament. In fact, many people could see that Zhao Lingshan liked Qin Chen. One month quickly passed, and You Qianxue arrived at the city gate of Xuan Kingdom, vowing not to bypass Qin Chen.
