Chapter 235: Five Venoms Sect’s Inheritance! Establishing Luo Net

Outside the Qin Residence, the streets were bustling with endless streams of carriages and pedestrians.

The Insect Swarm and Shen Tu Lu had fought fiercely through the night, resulting in hundreds of thousands of casualties. The commotion of forcefully slaying a Myriad Phenomena Master was simply too massive; any faction with a modicum of power had witnessed it.

When dawn broke and the gates of the Qin Mansion opened, an endless parade of various factions arrived to pay their respects. One by one, they sought to pledge their allegiance to the Qin Family.

Given the combat prowess displayed by the Insect Swarm, they could easily steamroll all forces in Yunlong County, and even those in any neighboring county city. Even factions like the Golden Sword Sect and Pai Sect came to visit and offer gifts.

Although Qin Yu did not make an appearance, he was perfectly aware of everything through the eyes and ears of the Insect Swarm. However, he didn’t care about these matters, nor did he intervene. Celestial Wind Ancestor Qin Tianfeng, Qin Wenyuan, and the others would handle these affairs properly.

But when two powerful auras carrying an intense oppressive pressure rapidly approached the Qin Residence, Qin Yu was forced to interrupt his current cultivation.

Of these two auras, one was cold and sinister. The other was grand and upright, yet harbored a sharp, hidden edge.

“Myriad Phenomena Realm? More Myriad Phenomena Masters! Since when did Yunlong County have so many Myriad Phenomena Realm experts?” Qin Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly, though he didn’t feel much tension.

With Thunder Punishment Master Liu Mingxuan of the Demon Suppression Bureau present, having someone else show up right after he conveyed the invitation of a True Monarch Primordial Spirit meant these newcomers completely disregarded the Demon Suppression Bureau.

Even without the Thunder Punishment Master around, Qin Yu hadn’t exhausted his trump cards yet. Moreover, these two were not hiding their auras.

Qin Yu stood up and straightened his robes. At the same time, he sent a message to Qin Tianfeng, Qin Wenyuan, and the others through the Insect Nest’s Mind Network.

Although the Leviathan was still undergoing repairs, the Insect Swarm’s warning system remained unaffected.

A moment later, Qin Tianfeng’s voice sounded outside the quiet room, carrying a trace of solemnity. “Yu, we have guests. They claim to be an envoy from the Profound Yin Sect and a representative of Ling State’s Jin Family, and they’ve asked to see you by name.”

The Profound Yin Sect? Ling State’s Jin Family? Information regarding these two major factions quickly flashed through Qin Yu’s mind.

The Profound Yin Sect was one of the top native major sects in Ling State. It possessed immense power, and although its cultivation techniques were dark and cold, it was not a Demon Path Influence. At least, not according to the Demon Suppression Bureau’s classification. The sect boasted more than one Myriad Phenomena Master, as well as a True Monarch Primordial Spirit cultivating in seclusion.

As for the Jin Family, they were a top Noble Family in Ling State! Their family’s ancestor was a Primordial Spirit Sword Immortal, and their foundation was profound. They had intricately intertwined relationships with the Demon Suppression Bureau and major sects, making them an equally colossal entity.

Why would these two factions come together?

“Please invite them to the reception hall,” Qin Yu said calmly. With a flash of his figure, he appeared at the doorway.

Inside the reception hall stood three figures. On the left was a pale, middle-aged man dressed in dark black robes. Deep within his pupils, ice crystals seemed to flicker. His features were sinister, and his aura felt like a ten-thousand-year-old freezing pool.

On the right stood an authoritative middle-aged man wearing brocade robes with a longsword hung at his waist, alongside a cool-tempered young woman carrying a sword box on her back.

The middle-aged man’s cultivation was also at the Myriad Phenomena Realm, his sharp aura drawn in and concealed. The young woman was only at the Peak of the Sea of Qi Realm, but her eyes were bright and piercing, clearly indicating her extraordinary Sword Dao talent.

Qin Tianfeng, Qin Wenyuan, and other Qin Family elders sat nearby to keep them company. Their expressions were solemn, subtly positioning themselves to protect Qin Yu in the center.

“Inspector Qin, I’ve heard much about you,” the sinister man leading the Profound Yin Sect spoke first, his voice carrying a bone-chilling coldness. “Profound Yin Sect Elder, Cold Soul.”

“Jin Family, Jin Wanhe. This is my daughter, Jin Ling’Er.” The middle-aged man in brocade robes cupped his fists. His voice was steady and powerful, his gaze sweeping over Qin Yu like lightning.

“Greetings, Cold Soul Master, Golden Master. May I ask why you two seniors have come together?” Qin Yu cupped his hands in return, neither haughty nor humble.

Cold Soul Master got straight to the point. “Let’s not beat around the bush. Does Inspector Qin possess a Five Poison Sect Inheritance Token?”

A Five Poison Sect Inheritance Token? Qin Yu’s eyes narrowed, thinking to himself that it was just as he had suspected.

“Naturally, I do,” Qin Yu admitted frankly. This was no secret in Yunlong County.

It was precisely this Five Poison Sect Inheritance Token that had sparked the battle outside Bishui City, allowing the Insect Swarm to make its mark before numerous factions.

“Inspector Qin, when the Five Poison Sect was destroyed by the Demon Suppression Bureau, their Inheritance Grotto Heaven, the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave, was not discovered,” Jin Wanhe spoke up.

“It requires all five tokens to be gathered before it can be opened.

“Now, the five tokens all have owners.

“My Jin Family holds one.

“The Profound Yin Sect… has also obtained one through certain channels.

“As for the other two, as far as we know, they are in the hands of Black Death Valley and the Soul Refining Sect. Now, we are only missing the final piece in your possession, Inspector Qin.”

Black Death Valley? The Soul Refining Sect? Qin Yu frowned slightly. Black Death Valley was an out-and-out Demon Sect, a major faction listed on the Demon Suppression Bureau’s wanted board.

There was no need to even mention the Soul Refining Sect—they were old friends by now.

As expected, when it came to an inheritance involving Primordial Spirit Realm factions, an ordinary person wouldn’t be able to keep it even if they found it.

“What do you two seniors mean?” Qin Yu asked calmly.

“Naturally, we intend to open the Ten Thousand Poisons Cave. We have already contacted the other two factions. If the Qin Family plans to join us, we can meet in three days to discuss opening the Grotto Heaven together,” Cold Soul Master said icily.

“If the Qin Family does not plan to go, you can transfer the Five Poison Sect Inheritance Token to the Profound Yin Sect. We are willing to pay a high price to purchase it. Primordial stones, cultivation techniques, treasures—you may take your pick.

“Inspector Qin, although slaying Shen Tu Lu of the Blood Demon Sect has brought you great fame, you’ve also made countless enemies. The Blood Demon Sect seeks revenge for the smallest grievance; the matter with Shen Tu Lu is likely just the beginning.

“Furthermore, you also have a significant grudge with the Soul Refining Sect. If you give up this Five Poison Sect Inheritance Token…”
