Chapter 1556 - 1555: Heavy Weapons
Tang Rao was one of the viewers watching the live broadcast in Illusion City. He didn't have time to deal with Zhou Runfa and those bald men; his interest lay in the forthcoming actions of the Qin elder."Elder, Miss, Miss is gone!"
Without a guiding presence, the servants were at a loss. But once the guiding presence arrived, they all fell to their knees and began to cry loudly.
"Miss is gone?"
Even someone as experienced as the Qin elder felt his legs weaken upon hearing the news, nearly stumbling.
"Elder, please take care of your health!"
What good are words?
Ignoring the servants' attempts to console him, the Qin elder walked between two coffins.
The pallbearers had completed their task and quietly left; no one dared to stand by the coffins, especially as the elder approached. They instinctively made more space in the already wide area, fearing the elder's overwhelming grief might lead to uncontrollable emotions and harm innocent people.
The elder opened the coffin; on one side was Qin Qing, whose internal organs were completely shattered, though her appearance resembled someone in deep sleep. The elder knew, from the sight of her collapsed chest cavity, that her intact exterior concealed a mess of destroyed organs.
On the other side lay someone he also knew—the maid who served Qin Qing alongside his lover Dong Qi.
With Qin Qing dead, there was no chance for her maid to survive. The elder wasn't surprised by Chun Ping's death.
He glanced at Qin Qing again. The elderly body trembled slightly, then he personally closed the coffin lid.
The people were puzzled. That coffin contained his granddaughter. Why was the elder not grieving her death?
Their doubt lasted momentarily before noticing something amiss—the elder was emitting smoke, and the surrounding air grew increasingly hot.
Spectators sensed danger and quickly distanced themselves from the Qin elder, escaping his wrath just in time.
"Tang Rao, give me back my granddaughter's life! Tang Rao, I won't let you off! Our Qin Family is at irreconcilable odds with you!"
The Qin elder raged like a madman, not regaining composure until killing ten subordinates.
Those subordinates were unjustly targeted, only there to protect the elder or assist him, thinking his grief would pass. But they didn't anticipate the elder's extreme anger would lead him to kill his own, thankfully he regained clarity quickly; otherwise, even with many Qin Family members, it wouldn't be enough for him to slaughter.
"Bring Miss inside, set up a mourning hall. I want Tang Rao's blood to honor my granddaughter's spirit in heaven!"
When Qin Qing was with Tang Rao, he was merely a naive youngster. In such a short time, he has advanced to the upper-middle God stage, reportedly on the brink of reaching the upper God stage. Observing Tang Rao's potential, the elder contemplated using him.
He aimed to become the world's top Array Master; the only path was investing a vast amount of Purple Crystal.
The Qin Family was a notable clan in Tingzhou, never lacking Purple Crystal. However, a Great Formation required more than a little—a bottomless pit similar to Tang Rao's munitions cache, where even substantial Purple Crystal investments vanished without a trace.
The elder lacked Purple Crystal but Tang Rao had excess; Qin Qing repeatedly mentioned Tang Rao's seemingly magical ability to have inexhaustible Purple Crystal.
If Qin Qing hadn't occasionally revealed Tang Rao's secrets, the elder would not have been driven by greed, leading him to target Tang Rao.
Ultimately, Qin Qing's death related to herself significantly.
Sadly, it's too late for Qin Qing's regrets; her coffin was moved to the central hall. Being the youngest generation in the Qin Family, no juniors donned mourning attire for her; only several household servants kept vigil.
The Qin elder shut himself in a room for the entire day. Those coming to mourn were received by distant relatives until the latter half of the following night when the elder emerged, disheveled.
He first visited the mourning hall, gazing at Qin Qing before sealing the coffin, his gaze was empty, looking at his once beloved granddaughter. Then he departed, walking from the central hall to the Qin Family gate, leaving openly.
It was so late; the elder going out alone, wouldn't he contemplate something drastic?
The servants stomped anxiously, deeply worried.
The elder was their pillar; with the young miss' incident, and the elder's spouse absent, only he arranged the funeral, already burdened. If he went out, would trouble arise?
Were his spouse present, even if the elder left, there'd be someone to anchor the house. Now the Qin Family risked chaos.
Seeing the elder leave irrationally, the Qin servants began looking for exit strategies; if he didn't return that night, perhaps it was time to flee.
The Qin elder did not head elsewhere. He carried a large knife towards Tang Rao's Zijing City without turning.
Luckily it was deep night; otherwise, seeing the elder's wild appearance would frighten both children and adults.
"Boss, there's an alert nearby; the person you're expecting is about to arrive!"
The Qin elder, courageous and reckless, found Tang Rao no easy opponent.
Outsiders played with power; Tang Rao employed high technology.
All power was mere paper tigers before technology; Tang Rao felt no fear but rather excitement, eager to test whose force prevailed—his technology or the elder's might.
"Jinxiu darling, years ago I invested so much Purple Crystal in you for technological advancements, yet never utilized this tech. Well, let today reveal the results of your work."
Fang Jinxiu, leading a team on a secret production line for such a long time, finally found an opportunity; after Tang Rao issued the order, Fang Jinxiu was beyond excited.
"No problem, aside from armored vehicles, planes, and tanks, we have whatever heavy weaponry needed, ensuring our Kao Shan Sect becomes renowned overnight!"
In weapon research, Fang Jinxiu was unrivaled in confidence.
"The enemy is approaching. Be prepared, and remember, no matter employing these weapons, avoid damaging my Zijing City's buildings!"
Zijing City was Tang Rao's pride; last time Zhou Runfa ruined one structure, Tang Rao hadn't extorted him yet. This time he gave warning to prevent further heartache.
