I Stayed At Home For A Century, When I Emerged I Was Invincible

Chapter 62: Situation

The territories that the Great Qin Dynasty annexed intersected with the borders of the other major forces, resulting in unrest and conflict.

Heretic cultivators and itinerant cultivators frequently caused trouble in those areas.

Many of the experts that the Great Qin Dynasty had sent to guard the borders were killed.

The Chu family secretly rejoiced that Chu County was currently within the core of the Great Qin Dynasty and not near the border. If not, it would be dangerous.

However, seeing the Zhao and He families rise up together with the Qin royal family made the Chu family feel even aggrieved.

The Chu family had been willing to send experts to guard the border, but Qin Keyun had declined their offer.

There was no way she would dare to allow the Chu family to take such risks.

The Great Qin Empress seemed quite angry with them. This was a slap on the face to the Chu family.

The turmoil at the border did not last long. Soon enough, a truth realm expert appeared to guard the border of the Great Qin Dynasty, killing off many troublemakers.

Nine Swords Mountain had actually stepped in to help!

The expressions of those in charge of the Great Qian Dynasty and the evil imperial court turned ugly.

The Great Qin Dynasty had risen too quickly. Qin Keyun, the Empress, was even more powerful than their most powerful experts; she had almost reached the Emperor realm.

Were it not for the Great Qian Dynasty and the evil imperial court’s deep foundations, their territories would have been swallowed up by her as well.

......

How did she get the support of Nine Swords Mountain?

Or was she cooperating with Nine Swords Mountain?

Chu Xuan looked at the information in front of him.

It was within his expectations that Nine Swords Mountain would make a move.

After all, Qin Keyun’s father, the one who married into the Qin royal family, was the great elder of Nine Swords Mountain!

Hong Fei!

He was a top-notch genius of Nine Swords Mountain a hundred years ago.

His current strength had already reached the peak of the truth realm.

When he married into the Qin royal family, he had already been a truth realm expert.

“Interesting.”

Hong Fei was old enough to be Qin Pingxia’s father, but he had actually married into the Qin royal family.

What was even more surprising was that no one in the Qin family knew that Qin Pingxia’s husband was actually the great elder of Nine Swords Mountain.

Since Qin Keyun had been born from their union, it was not hard to figure out that Hong Fei’s marriage had been actually arranged by Qin Keyun.

Qin Keyun’s Fox Demon soul had been sleeping in the Qin family’s ancestral land this entire time. It was likely that Qin Pingxia had received instructions from Qin Keyun while cultivating in the Qin family’s ancestral land.

Was Nine Swords Mountain the Great Qin Emperor’s trump card?

Or was it just a faction that supported the Great Qin Emperor?

Nine Swords Mountain had been in existence for a very long time, even longer than the Great Qian Dynasty. Its existence even predated the war with the demons.

“Things are getting more and more interesting.”

Chu Xuan examined the information and sighed. The Southern Region’s waters truly ran deep.

He decided that once his strength increased, he would have Du Yuan come to the Southern Region to stir things up.

After Ren Changhe escaped, he would also ask this in-name disciple of his to come to the Southern Region as well.

The latter was already at the peak of the Heaven realm and was cultivating the Yin-yang Combination Divine Seal. Once he mastered it and comprehended the cycle of life and death, his strength would definitely increase by a step.

No matter what chess game was being set up in the Southern Region, he would f*cking destroy it!

He would destroy it without leaving seclusion too! This kind of feeling made him feel too f*cking cool!

If he could flip the board on such an intricate scheme, the system’s reward was likely to be generous.

Thinking this, Chu Xuan’s heart was filled with joy. He would let them proceed with their plans and schemes. When the right opportunity presented itself, he would flip the board.

His divine soul entered the space underneath the Chu family’s ancestral residence. The last time, when he broke through to the Emperor realm, Chu Xuan had not examined this place carefully.

The Zhao and He families’ strength had suddenly soared. It was obvious that they had activated some kind of inheritance.

Since the Zhao and He families possessed such an inheritance, how could the Chu family be lacking something similar?

The power of his divine soul entered the space, after which he saw balls of power floating in the space, as well as the treasured artifacts stored inside.

There was an emperor-level weapon inside.

Was this the inheritance left behind by the ancestors of the Chu family?

The floating balls of power could be instilled into cultivators above the third level of the unity realm. Within a very short period of time, they would gain enlightenment and step into the truth realm.

As expected, the reason why the Zhao and He families had so many truth realm experts so quickly was because of their own ancestors’ inheritances.

According to the records, the Chu family’s ancestral land was an ancient site. The Chu family had only risen up because they had excavated the ancient site.

It was likely that someone had guided the Chu family’s ancestors to this ancient site.

Chu Xuan hesitated for a moment. He did not choose to reveal the Chu family’s inheritance. After Chu Yun returned, he would let her do the honors.

He withdrew his divine soul power and ignored the inheritance.

In the outside world, thanks to the intervention of the Great Elder of Nine Swords Mountain, the situation had become complicated again.

After a short period of peace, another storm started brewing.

The heretic cults started to take action again. Even if the Great Qin Dynasty sent out a large number of experts, they were still unable to destroy the heretic cults.

However, as the Great Qin Dynasty continued to make use of its inheritance, they gained more and more experts. The overall situation gradually stabilized.

Things were back to square one again. Whenever the heretic cults started to cause trouble, the various factions under the Great Qin Dynasty would move to suppress them.

Apart from the heretic cults, which were supported by the evil imperial court, the Great Qian Dynasty also intervened by supporting some rebel factions, which constantly plagued and threatened the Great Qin Dynasty.

The Great Qin Dynasty had risen up too quickly, so they could only temporarily stabilize the situation. These factions were not easy to remove or destroy.

Inside the Great Qin Dynasty’s imperial palace.

“Are you really not going to accept the Chu Family?” Qin Pingshan asked with a complicated tone.

Back then, when Chu Qiuluo broke off the engagement, he had seen his sister Qin Pingxia’s sad and angry expression. At that time, he had been so angry that he wanted to lock Chu Qiuluo up in jail.

A generation later, Qin Keyun also had her marriage engagement with Chu Yuan broken off, which stirred up his memories from the past, enraging him.

However, he was now ecstatic that the Chu family had broken off the marriage engagement with Qin Keyun.

If Qin Keyun had married into the Chu family, would she still be considered a member of the Qin family?

After all, they were old friends with the Chu family. The four families had always been supporting each other for generations, so it was impossible for them to not have any feelings for each other.

Moreover, due to their marriage alliances, they were all related to each other.

“There’s no need to pull the Chu family in. It’s fine as long as we remain friends. Chu County belongs to the Chu family’s territory. Treat it as an ancient family in the Great Qin Dynasty.”

Qin Keyun said calmly, “Don’t disturb the Chu family.”

Qin Pingshan sighed in his heart. He did not know what Qin Keyun’s intentions were.

If she wanted to exclude the Chu family, she might as well expel them.

However, she had to maintain a family friend and not make the Chu family submit.

It seemed like she was treating the Chu family well but, in reality, she was distancing herself from the Chu family. He could not understand her actions.

Was she still thinking about Chu Yuan?

Was that why she was so distant?

Qin Keyun had already made her decision anyway. He could not change anything. Although Qin Keyun was young, her strength was profound.

She looked like an obedient girl, but hidden beneath that facade was a ruthless and merciless character!

If he dared to disobey her, the outcome would not be pretty.

There were already two elders of the Qin family who had been imprisoned by her.

An elder of the He family who took advantage of his seniority had even been killed.

No one dared to question the Empress’s decisions or disobey her orders. The entirety of the Great Qin Dynasty rested in her hands.

Her Empress token was more intimidating than the Emperor token of the Great Qian Dynasty, which resulted in her orders being carried out promptly and efficiently.

The only person who could influence Qin Keyun’s decision was her mother, Qin Pingxia.

Qin Pingxia had always doted on her daughter, and had never questioned her decisions, supporting her unconditionally.

The Chu family could only do so much.

Based on the current situation of the Chu family, it was likely that they would end up as a small family.

Without unlocking their foundation and inheritance, there was no way they could develop quickly.

As the other families strode ahead, in the end, the Chu family would be left behind.

Qin Keyun’s gaze was calm. In her mind, the small courtyard and the beautiful, powerful, and mysterious man inside it appeared.

The waters in the Southern Region truly ran deep.
