Chapter 60: The Southern Region’s Waters Are Indeed Quite Deep

“So, you want to restore the Great Qin Dynasty’s past glory?”

This was the first time Chu Xuan felt that Qin Keyun’s ambition was quite great.

She actually had the intention of unifying the Southern Region.

However, with her strength, how could she accomplish it?

Even if she recovered her past life’s strength, she probably would not be able to do it.

Some people probably did not want to see the Great Qin Dynasty rise up once again and unify the Southern Region.

“No, no. I’m weak, so how can I unify the Southern Region?” Qin Keyun said guiltily.

“What was Qin Zun’s level of strength?”

Chu Xuan felt that if the other party managed to unify the Southern Region, he probably would not have been able to accomplish such a feat if he had not reached the Heaven realm, right?

“I’m not sure,” Qin Keyun shook her head and said.

She was afraid that Chu Xuan would not believe her, so she hurriedly added, “I’m just a pet, so how would I know Master’s strength?”

He had asked all the questions that she should have. Qin Keyun was a human being and not a demon, so there was no need to kill her.

Chu Xuan waved his hand and said, “You can go now. Do what you need to do. Just don’t disturb me.”

“Also, don’t tell anyone about me!”

“Yes, yes!”

Qin Keyun stood up in a hurry. She twisted her skirt with both hands and asked in a low voice, “Can I still come here to take a look?”

The corners of Chu Xuan’s mouth twitched as he recalled Qin Keyun’s preference for good-looking men.

Was she f*cking coming here to see him?

“Go away.”

Chu Xuan waved his hand.

Qin Keyun narrowed her eyes. Since Chu Xuan did not reply, she took his silence as a tacit agreement.

“Yes, I’ll take my leave now!”

Qin Keyun respectfully bowed before leaving the courtyard.

Chu Xuan drank a cup of tea and narrowed his eyes. Since the Great Qin Emperor had a backup plan, perhaps he was not completely dead and was simply waiting for an opportunity to return.

Chu Xuan did not believe that an expert who could unify the Southern Region and establish a dynasty would die so easily.

Unless of course the enemy he faced was far beyond his imagination.

Qin Keyun had reincarnated into the Qin family, so she was probably one of those backup plans.

Chu Xuan picked up his communication talisman and contacted Bao Hongyan.

“Search for information on the ancient Great Qin Emperor of the Southern Region.”

“Yes, my Lord,” Bao Hongyan said respectfully.

Out of the three gold-level Tower Lords, Chu Xuan had decided to focus on nurturing Bao Hongyan and helping her become a one-star Tower Lord.

The other two Tower Lords were less talented than Bao Hongyan.

More importantly, those two were rough men, and were nowhere close to being as good-looking as Bao Hongyan.

Three days later…

Bao Hongyan sent him some information about the Great Qin Emperor.

Even with her status as a gold-level Tower Lord, she could not gather much information.

There was no introduction about the Great Qin Emperor’s strength.

There were only a few simple lines describing the Great Qin Emperor.

He was the only emperor in all of the Southern Region’s history to unify the Southern Region and suppress all of the sects and factions.

Even though it was only a few lines, one could tell how powerful the Great Qin Emperor was from that description.

In the entire history of the Southern Region, there had only been one person who unified the Southern Region, suppressed all of the sects and factions, and established the Great Qin Dynasty. There was no need to doubt his strength.

Chu Xuan suspected that the ancient battle with the demons was probably a conspiracy; a conspiracy to destroy the Great Qin Dynasty.

Qin Keyun had said that the humans had rebelled and lured the demons into invading, which caught the human experts unprepared. This was most likely the case.

As for whether the human experts were truly unprepared, that was still a matter that was up for debate.

At the very least, some people had planned this, which meant that those people were not truly unprepared. Only those who had not betrayed the human race were truly unprepared.

Even though the Great Qin Emperor was called an emperor, his strength far surpassed that of an emperor.

Without the strength of a Heaven realm cultivator, how could he unify the Southern Region?

Regardless of whether the Great Qin Emperor was dead or not, as long as the latter did not disturb him, Chu Xuan did not care about his plans.

Even if the man wanted to unify the Southern Region again, he did not care.

With the opening of the Asura Ancient Land, the plans of various factions would gradually surface.

From the looks of it, the waters in the Southern Region indeed ran a little deep.

Chu Xuan did not panic. The Asura Ancient Land had not opened yet and, by the time it did, his strength would be at least at the Heaven realm.

Originally, the Zhao, He, and Chu families were to become subordinates of the Qin Kingdom and hand over their territories to accept the Qin royal family’s dominion.

Unexpectedly, Qin Keyun suddenly changed her mind.

The Zhao and He families handed over their territories and accepted their new fiefs.

However, the Great Qin Dynasty did not take back Chu County, and did not call the Chu family their subjects. They even let the unity realm experts that they had brought back from the Great Qian Dynasty return to Chu County.

Qin Keyun’s sudden change stunned the Chu family.

The Zhao and He families were stunned.

Why did she treat the Chu family so well?

No, it didn’t seem like she was treating the Chu family well. Instead, she was excluding the Chu family from the core of the state of Qin.

To outsiders, Qin Keyun’s actions seemed to imply that she was dissatisfied with the Chu family. She had excluded the Chu family from the core of the Qin Kingdom, and she did not even acknowledge that the Chu family belonged to the Great Qin Dynasty.

However, for the sake of their families’ generations of friendship, she left Chu County to the Chu family.

Whether this was good or bad for the Chu family, that remained to be seen.

It was probably a good thing that they did not have to hand over the territory that they had governed for thousands of years and did not have to bow down to the Qin royal family.

However, everyone could see Qin Keyun’s ambition, so the fact that the Chu family had been unable to integrate into the core of the Qin Kingdom and had been pushed aside by the Qin family meant that they could only hide in Chu County and would not be able to develop further.

In fact, the four great families that were originally very close to each other would gradually keep their distance from the Chu family and gradually become estranged.

Was it due to the matter of Chu Yuan canceling the marriage contract, which caused Qin Keyun to become dissatisfied?

In the ancestral residence, Chu Tianming’s roar could be heard again.

The Chu family was now in a very awkward situation.

Although Qin Keyun did not show intention of ostracizing the Chu family, the Chu family was unable to participate in the affairs of the Great Qin Dynasty so, over time, they would naturally be ostracized.

The heart of an emperor was difficult to fathom!

This was even truer for an empress. It was not easy to figure out a woman’s thoughts.

“Find and bring that bastard Chu Yuan back to me!” Chu Tianming roared.

He had to bring Chu Yuan back and ask him to apologize to Qin Keyun.

The Chu family was currently in an extremely awkward situation. They had lost their alliance with the other three families. Once they encountered a strong enemy, they had nowhere to seek help from.

In the past, when they encountered a strong enemy, they could still ask the Great Qian Empire for help.

Now, the Great Qin Dynasty had fallen out with the Great Qian Dynasty. The Chu family had once been one of the three great aristocratic families of the Qin Kingdom. They had been on the same side as the Qin royal family.

In their current predicament, they could not seek help from the Qin royal family. The Great Qian Dynasty would not come to their aid either. It could be said that the Chu family was currently isolated by the rest of the Southern Region.

There were only five unity realm warriors who had returned from the Great Qian Dynasty. The strongest one was only at the sixth level of the unity realm.

There were not even any truth realm experts.

The seniors who had broken through to the unity realm and went to the Great Qian Dynasty had all died and had been treated as cannon fodder.

It was already a good result that five of them had returned alive.

Even if they included the family elders who had secretly broken through a while ago, the Chu family was still very weak.

Apart from the unity realm elders who were in charge of the ancestral residence, the unity realm elders who had just broken through had all gone to various other places in Chu County.

Without the help of the unity realm elders, Chu County’s situation felt very precarious.

Chu Tianming’s expression was very ugly. He had to break through to the unity realm as soon as possible.

The Chu family commissioned the Black Moon Tower to capture Chu Yuan!
