Chapter 984: I'm Not as All-Powerful as You Think!

What is this?

Those fierce beasts have already been completely annihilated?

How much time has passed since the incident?

The military police of the official agency hadn’t even taken action yet?

Wow-

With the captain’s words.

The command center was in an uproar!

“You’re saying that, without you acting, those fierce beasts were wiped out?” The senior commander gasped, eyes wide with shock.

The expression was extraordinarily intense.

“Yes, corpses piled like mountains, rivers of blood, horrifying scene! And an elder is now collecting the bodies, stuffing gigantic beasts into a bizarre bag!” the captain said, dumbfounded.

“Who are they?” the senior commander asked anxiously.

“The elder said his boss is Qin Fan, and, before I reported, I saw with binoculars in the deserted pavilion, there’s someone there, it’s Qin Fan!”

“Qin Fan? Mr. Qin? Mr. Qin actually took action! Haha, no wonder, no wonder! Did Mr. Qin say anything?”

The previous tension and excitement evaporated upon hearing Qin Fan’s name, and the senior commander burst into a hearty laugh, finally at ease.

All the high-ranking officials of Jinling, hearing this as well, collectively relaxed, sharing genuine smiles.

Mr. Qin took action, that explains everything easily.

After all, at their level, they know far more than ordinary military police.

And Qin Fan, had always been an unavoidable topic for the upper echelons in the past half year.

“He waved to me, probably signaling us to retreat, sir, what should we do?” the captain asked.

“Immediately retreat with your team, do not delay a moment!”

“Yes, sir!”

The captain saluted sharply.

The communication channel resumed to all.

The hasty order fell.

Instantly, the great number of military police hurried in as quickly as they departed.

The difference was that most left in a state of weariness, nausea having taken a heavy toll on them!

Watching the police convoy splashing countless droplets as they left.

In the deserted pavilion, Qin Fan chuckled indifferently.

The government still has a knack for handling such urgent crises given the speed and response.

But do they really think they can handle those beasts with mere firearms?

To say without exaggeration, if they truly faced these beasts head-on, their so-called full armament would be like ordinary unarmed civilians, trying to pose a threat to the Training Spirit Sect’s mutant beasts? Completely impossible!

Yet the Guardian Institute members and martial artists of the martial arts world not immediately stepping out amid this crisis truly surprised Qin Fan, could it be foresight?

Hehe-!

No more pointless thoughts.

Qin Fan turned to look at the two Tomb Raider Sect Masters of Penglai sitting tensely on stone benches, like sitting on pins and needles.

He chuckled, “Are you nervous?”

“Immortal, we are merely mortal ants, how can we remain calm before an Immortal!”

The Penglai Sect Master replied in a state of trepidation.

Uncertain about why Qin Fan summoned them, they remained uneasy.

“Immortal? You misunderstand; I’m not as all-powerful as you think! Come, here are two jars of old wine, calm your nerves!”

With a playful smile, Qin Fan opened the seal on the two jars of aged wine.

Placed the aromatic, nose-pleasing wine in front of them.

“Thank you, Immortal!”

Not daring to refuse.

Even in the Penglai Sect, where wine was rare, facing Qin Fan’s generosity, the Penglai Sect Master hesitated only briefly before raising the jar.

Together with the Tomb Raider Sect Master, they tilted their heads back to drink deeply.

In the process, they dared not expel the alcohol vapors from their bodies.

Drank it all in one breath.

One jar of aged wine downed.

The Tomb Raider Sect Master was fine.

The Penglai Sect Master, not strong with alcohol, was flushed.

But not drunk.

Even without expelling the alcohol fumes, years of mastering the Taoist body made them immune to even severe toxins, let alone simple alcohol? It had little effect on their bodies.

“Thank you for the fine wine, Immortal, but forgive my rudeness, may I ask why you summoned me here? I, Cao Qianqiu, humbly seek enlightenment from you!”

Setting down the jar, the Tomb Raider Sect Master, Cao Qianqiu, respectfully clasped his fists.

Cao Qianqiu?

With the surname Cao?

Could it be that the Tomb Raider Sect has no roots linked to the Bai Clan?

Seeing Qin Fan slightly furrow his brow.

Cao Qianqiu’s face suddenly changed drastically, shivering uncontrollably.

Damned.

Did I inadvertently offend him with my words?

Not daring to dwell on it, Cao Qianqiu hurriedly spoke again, “Immortal, I, Cao Qianqiu, have always been tongue-tied, if there’s any disrespect, I beg your forgiveness!”

In his trembling manner of speaking, Cao Qianqiu nearly knelt.

Hearing this.

Qin Fan realized it was a misunderstanding.

With a leisurely smile.

He shook his head, not explaining, instead saying, “I wonder, what’s the relationship between the Bai Clan and the Tomb Raider Sect in the mundane world? Their Yin Yang Balance Technique is the same lineage as yours, right!”

Although Cao Qianqiu hadn’t revealed his identity, sensing the fluctuation of the Yin Yang Balance Technique within him, Qin Fan knew this was the Tomb Raider Sect Kunlun elder spoke of.

Upon hearing Qin Fan’s question.

Cao Qianqiu suddenly was shocked.

Bai Clan?

The Bai Clan cultivating the Yin Yang Balance Technique?

Could the Immortal be acquainted with the Bai Clan?

“To return to the Immortal, the Tomb Raider Sect and the Bai Clan were indeed once related generations ago, but now the ties are severed! Without exception, the current Bai Clan likely doesn’t know of their shared cultivation lineage with the Tomb Raider Sect anymore! I dare to ask, why does the Immortal ask this?”

In fear of concealing facts, Cao Qianqiu anxiously said with trepidation.

“Oh, nothing, before I thought I had uprooted the Bai Clan entirely, didn’t expect a sect cultivating the Yin Yang Balance Technique to emerge, so I was just curious!” Qin Fan said with a light smile, shaking his head.

Yet these words sent a cold sweat down Cao Qianqiu’s back.

Just curious?

Really just curious?

If the Bai Clan shared a lineage with them, would it still be mere curiosity?

The first thought that crossed Cao Qianqiu’s mind was that they would be implicated!

Much like the Training Spirit Sect!

Gulp-

He swallowed hard.

Thankful from the depths of his heart.

He continued, “The Immortal eradicated the Bai Clan, to act on behalf of justice and protect the people! It’s no secret, during the Three Kingdoms Period, Cao Mengde was my ancestor. Back then, he discovered a cultivation secret skill in Tomb Raider, but due to limitations and its imperfections, generations could not escape the cycle of birth, aging, illness, and death. Until my generation, I could refine the ancestral secret skill into perfection! Thus the Tomb Raider Sect emerged, regarding the Bai Clan, back then they were close to my ancestor, so they shared in the development of that secret skill, constantly exploring and comprehending it together. Unbeknownst to us, by my generation, the Bai Clan’s intentions turned, they pursued evil techniques, absorbing yin essence from virgins to enhance the Yin Yang Balance Technique, which was beyond my tolerance. Thus, my Cao Clan parted ways with the Bai Clan! Later, I found a way to open a Secret Realm, leading my Cao people there for focused cultivation, ignoring the Bai Clan since. Over these years, I noticed the Bai Clan still conducting heinous acts under the guise of the Tomb Raider Captain. I considered having the sect disgrace the Bai Clan, but due to ancestral ties, the thought was dismissed! Unexpectedly, the Heavenly Dao’s reincarnation met with the Immortal to sweep away the evil peril, restoring a clear world! Immortal, Cao Qianqiu is eternally grateful for purging the Tomb Raider lineage!”

After his lengthy explanation.

As he spoke his final words.

Cao Qianqiu respectfully bowed, kneeling with one knee before Qin Fan.
