“Attacked?”
“Medicinal Garden…”
Qin Xuan stroked his chin, immediately understanding.
Someone was clearly coveting the Qin Family’s recent Medicinal Pill business, which was why they did this.
“Hmph, did you see clearly which Family they belonged to?”
Qin Xuan looked at the injured guard with killing intent.
“No, the people who ambushed us were all masked, so we couldn’t see who they were at all.”
Masked.
Qin Xuan’s face turned cold.
These people must be from some Families in Fire Wind City, but they were afraid of the Qin Family retaliating, so they came up with this idea.
“They have the guts to do it, but not the guts to admit it. Hiding their heads and tails, they truly are a bunch of rats.”
Qin Xuan said coldly.
Looking at the entire Fire Wind City, the Sima Family naturally had the biggest suspicion in this matter.
However, the Sima Family’s main focus was Alchemy, so their skill in using weapons was rather ordinary.
From this perspective, the most likely culprits were the other Families.
“It seems it should be a joint effort by several Families.”
After all, the Qin Family’s power was already the greatest in Fire Wind City. If they completely monopolized Medicinal Pills, the other Families would only suffer more in the future.
All the medicinal materials used by the Qin Family for refining Medicinal Pills came from the Medicinal Garden in the nearby mountain range.
As long as the Qin Family’s source of medicinal materials was cut off, no matter how powerful the Qin Family was, it would be impossible for them to refine Medicinal Pills.
“How is the Medicinal Garden doing?”
The Medicinal Garden was crucial to the Qin Family; there could be no mishaps.
“No problem. The Family has dispatched an Elder to guard the Medicinal Garden, and with the Formation set up by the Du Family, there won’t be any issues for a short time.”
“So, the most troublesome thing now is transporting the medicinal materials back?”
Hearing this, Qin Xuan frowned.
Logically speaking, the Qin Family’s schedule for transporting medicinal materials was always kept secret, yet they were still attacked under such circumstances.
It seemed either someone was watching near the Medicinal Garden, or there was an internal spy.
After a moment of thought, Qin Xuan coldly looked up and strode towards the Family’s main hall for discussions.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the main hall was somewhat oppressive.
“Someone actually dared to attack our Qin Family! It’s time to teach them a harsh lesson!”
Several Qin Family Elders said indignantly.
As Qin Family, they naturally couldn't tolerate such actions.
“In my opinion, it was the Sima Family who did it. They suffered a loss at the Young Clan Leader’s hands last time, so they resorted to such methods to deal with our Family.”
“If they can’t do it openly, they do it covertly. They should be killed!”
Qin Yan naturally couldn’t hold back at this moment.
He had long disliked the Sima Family, and at this moment, he naturally wanted to completely exterminate the Sima Family.
“Third Elder, such a Clan extermination war requires evidence, otherwise it cannot be done!”
Qin Yuan said calmly, then a flash of killing intent flickered in his eyes.
“Hmph, since so many people are eyeing our Qin Family’s possessions, I will meet them.”
Qin Yuan wanted to see who was so bold as to dare to attack the Qin Family.
He had just used the Liu Family as an example to deter others last time, but these people were still courting death, even thinking of attacking the Qin Family.
Since that was the case, he would strike hard, let these people know their place, and kill until they dared not act!
“No!”
Just then, Qin Xuan strode in.
“Oh, why is that?”
Qin Yuan frowned slightly, a flicker of confusion in his eyes.
Not just Qin Yuan, but everyone else was also puzzled.
“Using thunderous means to carry out lightning-fast actions, making the other party understand our bottom line, so they will never dare to act again. This is a once-and-for-all solution.”
Third Elder Qin Yan said with a frown.
Hearing this, Qin Xuan shook his head.
“If that’s the case, then it will be troublesome.”
As Qin Xuan walked in, several Elders immediately motioned for Qin Xuan to sit at the front.
“The reason is simple: this is merely their strategy of ‘luring the tiger out of its mountain lair’.”
The strategy of luring the tiger out of its mountain lair?
Hearing this, Qin Yuan frowned.
“Grandpa, you are the most powerful person in our Qin Family. Looking at the entire Fire Wind City, even Clan Chief Yuan Hao is no match for you.”
“If you are in the Qin Family, those people, no matter how many tricks they use, won’t be able to touch a single bit of the Qin Family’s Foundation. But if you leave and enter the mountains, then the Qin Family will truly be in danger.”
The entire Qin Family only had Qin Yuan, a Tianxuan Realm Cultivator. The other Elders were all Di Xuan Realm Cultivators.
If the other Families in the city united, without Qin Yuan present, the other Qin Family Elders would be completely wiped out when facing an encirclement.
By then, even if Qin Yuan eliminated the enemies, it would already be too late.
“For our Qin Family, our Foundation is here in Fire Wind City. So, no matter what, as long as you, Grandpa, guard this place, those petty individuals won’t succeed, and the Qin Family will be safe.”
At this point, Qin Xuan looked at Qin Yuan, gazing earnestly at his Grandpa.
“Grandpa, the guards who escaped back this time were actually intentionally let go by them.”
“Since the other party launched a sneak attack, they must have prepared enough manpower. How could anyone escape? This clearly shows that the other party deliberately let people go back to report, making us lose our composure!”
Hearing this, Qin Yuan and the many Elders present immediately felt a stir in their hearts and nodded slightly.
“Xuan’er, you are right. We really cannot act rashly, otherwise our main camp will be empty, and we will truly be successfully ambushed by these people.”
The other Elders also nodded in agreement.
“But, aren’t we going to do anything about the Medicinal Garden? The Medicine Refining Workshop is our Qin Family’s biggest source of income.”
Several other Elders said with some concern.
This was also the cleverness of the opponent’s strategy.
The Medicinal Garden was crucial to the Qin Family; if they ignored it, the other party would only become more aggressive.
“I’ll go instead. With me there, who would dare to touch the Medicinal Garden!”
Qin Yan stood up, wanting to volunteer.
“It’s best if Third Elder and the other Elders don’t go. I have a plan.”
Qin Xuan said, looking at the many Elders present.
These Elders were all Qin Family Elders, and the Qin Family had long been a case of 'all for one and one for all'. There was no need to worry about them betraying the Qin Family and leaking secrets.
“What plan?”
Hearing this, Qin Yuan hastily asked.
“I suggest we first deliberately spread the word that Grandpa will be taking the Qin Family Elders into the mountains to capture all those people, and then leave the city in front of everyone in Fire Wind City.”
“That’s what we’ll say publicly, but secretly, all the Elders must sneak back.”
“When they see our people leave, they will certainly organize manpower to besiege our Qin Family. At that time, everyone will act and kill all these people clean!”
Hearing this, the Elders nodded in agreement.
“Hmm, turning their scheme against them, not only is it well-reasoned and puts us in a morally superior position, but it also allows us to capture all these restless people in one fell swoop.”
“Moreover, as long as the other party isn’t foolish, the Medicinal Garden and the medicinal material convoy will surely be safe this time. It’s a three-pronged success, a good plan!”
Hearing Qin Xuan’s plan to turn their scheme against them, the Elders present all nodded.
Qin Xuan also smiled.
“However, since such an incident has occurred, someone should still accompany the convoy. How about this, I will be responsible for protecting this convoy. If anything happens, I can handle it.”
Hearing Qin Xuan say this, Qin Yuan frowned with some concern.
“Xuan’er, is this really okay? What if…”
Qin Yuan was naturally worried whether Qin Xuan could handle the situation alone.
After all, although these people might not attack the convoy, if they really did, then Qin Xuan would be in danger.
“Grandpa, don’t worry. Although my cultivation is not very high, self-preservation is not a problem.”
After these few days of cultivation, Qin Xuan’s cultivation had reached Dan Xuan Realm Fourth Level.
His golden Dantian not only had more than ten times the Spiritual Qi of other Cultivators, but the Spiritual Qi was also extremely dense.
Within the Rookie Realm, Qin Xuan could fight and win.
Even against a Profound Earth First or Second Level, Qin Xuan had the power to contend.
“Alright, since you’ve said so, then you will be responsible for this matter.”
Seeing Qin Xuan proactively taking on these responsibilities, Qin Yuan was very pleased.
Three years ago, Qin Xuan was not like this.
Three years ago, although Qin Xuan was known as the number one Genius in Fire Wind City, he only knew how to follow Liu Yiyi around like a sycophant.
Now, this child had finally grown up and knew how to help the Family.
Thinking of this, Qin Yuan couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.
After giving a few instructions and understanding the Qin Family’s convoy route and time, Qin Xuan immediately set off.
Since it was to guard against a sneak attack, he had to set off early.
After leaving Fire Wind City, Qin Xuan headed towards the Tianheng Mountain Range east of Fire Wind City.
