Chapter 6 Demonic Calamity
The hall was silent.
Only the words of the Han family patriarch echoed.
The other members of the Han family, perhaps because they had been instructed beforehand, remained silent and all cast strange glances at the Qin family group.
Upon hearing this, Li frowned slightly.
Qin Jiu listened expressionlessly, with no intention of speaking. He knew that the other party had not finished speaking, and that pointing out the crisis facing the Qin family was merely an attempt to add some leverage.
But at this moment...
Wang Yue, who had been following behind the two with his back bent, took a small step forward.
"I am the steward of the Qin family. I greet the head of the Han family."
"This old servant came here with the old lady and the young master, and should not speak. However, I just heard the head of the Han family say that there was a problem with his training. I don't think so. The demonic aura on you that you are not concealed is very similar to the demon that attacked my master that day."
Wang Yue said listlessly.
He came here only to ensure the safety of Qin Jiu and the old lady, and should not have interfered in anything.
However, as soon as he entered the hall, his five senses detected a chilling aura.
That aura was identical to that of the demon that attacked and killed Qin Guihong that day.
However, this aura is difficult for martial artists at the third level of cultivation or even lower to sense, so when he asked, he also meant to remind the old lady and Qin Jiu.
The head of the Han family sat in the main seat.
He was holding a teacup, about to take a sip, when he heard this and froze, then stared intently at Wang Yue with eyes like lightning.
"You sick tiger, you actually came along too."
The Han family head's face was grim.
He hadn't noticed this before, and the figure following behind the two men was just an ordinary servant.
the other side.
Whether it's Qin Jiu or Li Shi.
Their faces all darkened.
"Patriarch Han, please explain."
"Your Qin family is truly audacious, actually sending your only internal martial arts expert out here now. Aren't you afraid someone might take advantage of the situation?"
The Han family patriarch sighed, "I, no, the Han family, actually encountered the same thing as your Qin family a few days ago. Demons suddenly attacked at night, and if Zong Yuan hadn't sacrificed himself to save me, I would have died on the spot."
These words were spoken.
A look of astonishment immediately appeared on Li's face.
Qin Jiu then spoke in a deep voice: "Patriarch Han, this matter concerns the blood feud of my Qin family. You think you can absolve yourself of the demonic aura on your body with just a few words? I'm afraid it won't be that easy, Uncle Wang..."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Wang Yue beside him.
The latter nodded.
He immediately drew a gleaming longsword from the waist of the guard who was following him.
'Buzz'
The long sword trembled and hummed.
A chilling aura filled the air.
A powerful aura emanated from Wang Yue, his aged appearance vanished, his back straightened instantly, and he walked step by step towards the center of the hall.
"Wait a minute."
Han Jiajia's brow twitched violently as he said, "I, Han, can naturally verify the truth of this matter."
"Men, bring the coffin!"
He gave an order to a servant beside him.
Seeing this, Qin Jiu also made Wang Yue stop.
Soon.
Eight dark red coffins were carried into the hall, and then the head of the Han family ordered his servants to open the coffins.
"Patriarch, Zong Yuan's body is barely cold; how can we disturb his peace..."
"Shut up."
The head of the Han family gave a cold look to the person who spoke.
He then walked to the central coffin, shook open the lid, revealing a mutilated, bluish corpse inside.
"The eight people in this coffin were all pillars of the Han family. They all died because of the demon attack that night. Nephew, and if the old lady doesn't believe me, you can look at the corpses in the other coffins. They still have the demon's aura on them."
"If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me, Uncle Han."
Qin Jiu didn't stand on ceremony.
He immediately ordered his guards to open the coffins one by one.
As for whether or not to offend the Han family, that was not even within his consideration. After all, if the Han family was really related to the demons who attacked and killed Qin Guihong, things would certainly not end well today.
After the remaining coffins were opened.
The corpses inside were all mutilated and bluish in color.
"Uncle Wang."
Qin Jiu turned to look at Wang Yue.
He couldn't sense any demonic aura, so he could only let Wang Yue make the identification.
"He truly died at the hands of demons."
Wang Yue nodded and said, "Moreover, it was the work of the demon who attacked and killed the patriarch back then. Young Master, you can tell just by touching these corpses that the cold aura is exactly the same as the aura that once lingered in your body."
Qin Jiu's heart sank upon hearing this.
Regardless of whether the attack on Qin Guihong and his predecessor by demons was orchestrated or not, it is extremely serious in the face of the Han family's current plight. A demon is wreaking havoc in the inner city, and no one can suppress it...
He took a deep breath and looked at the head of the Han family.
"Uncle Han, why do you still have the aura of demons lingering on you...?"
'Tear'
The words hadn't even finished being spoken.
The Han family patriarch grabbed his left shoulder and then ripped open his brocade robe, revealing a hideous claw mark.
"This was caused by Han fighting against demons."
"Does my dear nephew have any further questions?"
The Han family patriarch said expressionlessly.
Qin Jiu bowed respectfully to him: "The Han family has suffered such a calamity, and the Qin family should not reopen old wounds like this. However, since it involves my father's blood feud, Qin Jiu has to be cautious. I apologize for any offense I may have caused, Uncle Han."
Upon seeing this, the Han family patriarch's expression softened slightly.
"I urge the Qin family not to reveal this matter to anyone. As for the marriage alliance..." He paused, glancing at Wang Yue, and said, "My Han family has suffered a calamity. Even if we arrange a marriage, it will be three months before my nephew and my daughter can get married."
"I can understand."
Qin Jiu nodded, his eyes flashing, and said, "But Uncle Han, I wonder who you intend to betroth my nephew to?"
The head of the Han family has two sons and three daughters.
If we're talking about a marriage alliance, according to the agreement from back then, it should have been the eldest daughter of the legitimate wife.
At this point, he asked the other party.
In reality, he just wanted to see the attitude of the Han family head.
The Han family and the Qin family are not much different; they both openly have two internal martial arts experts, one of whom is Han Zongyuan, who is now in his coffin, and the other appears to have been severely injured...
He pondered.
Their eyes met those of the Han family patriarch.
The latter's pupils contracted slightly, but he immediately looked at the servant beside him without changing his expression.
"Go and call the young lady over."
"Yes."
The servant bowed and left.
The hall quickly fell into an eerie silence.
Li's eyelids were lowered, and she seemed to be resting with her eyes closed. Everything that had just happened seemed to have nothing to do with her, but at this moment, she could not calm down for a long time.
Soon.
A slender figure dressed in a light blue outfit walked into the hall.
She has a slender figure and a delicate, fair complexion.
She approached Madam Li and gave a graceful bow: "Qingyue greets the old lady and Young Master Qin."
"No need for formalities."
Li glanced at Han Qingyue and nodded slightly.
However, the latter finished the ceremony.
They did not stay.
He walked straight to the head of the Han family and knelt down.
"Since ancient times, marriages have been arranged by parents and matchmakers. I should obey all of Father's arrangements. However, I am devoted to martial arts and have been recommended by the Grand Master. I am ready to go to the sect for the assessment next spring. I hope Father will rescind his order."
