Chapter 730 - 524: Baihu Corps and Zuiyu

Spirit-splitting Ice Valley

"What did you say, he has this ability?"

Inzaghi Luoho tightly furrowed his brows after hearing the story told by his cousin Asaki Luoho, his eyes filled with doubt.

"I’m not lying to you. If you don’t believe me, you can ask a few more people."

Asaki shook his head, speaking in a deep voice:

"Qin Tian is too enigmatic, his abilities are bizarre, and his combat power is absurdly high. When he was at the relic, he had not yet broken through to Tier Seven and still managed to kill Shengongsi Hao Er. Now that he’s broken through Tier Seven, I wouldn’t dare provoke him."

"I’ve reported this to the clan. I’d advise you to keep your distance from him for now. This guy truly doesn’t care about the power of the Holy Blood Clan; he’ll kill anyone."

"Ridiculous! Am I supposed to avoid him from now on?"

Inzaghi laughed angrily, thinking of his own status as Guardian Envoy of Spirit-splitting Ice Valley, a direct lineage of the Luoho Clan, a dignified Tier Seven Holy Blood powerhouse.

And Qin Tian?

He’s just a dog raised by Lin Xuanqing.

How could he possibly bow down to a dog?

"Anyway, I’ve warned you."

Asaki spoke calmly, as Inzaghi’s reaction was entirely within his expectations. In fact, if it wasn’t for witnessing Qin Tian’s terrifying display, he wouldn’t believe that someone not born of Holy Blood could make him so cautious.

Considering their cousinly connection, Asaki patiently added a hint, attempting to give his cousin a way out: "Moreover, the Pluto project is already in motion, and Qin Tian is the key figure in it. At this critical juncture, if anything happens to him, no one can shoulder the responsibility. Even looking at it from the Empire’s perspective, you should..."

However, before he could finish his sentence, a crisp "click" came through the communicator as Inzaghi directly cut off the communication.

Watching the darkened communication screen, Asaki shook his head helplessly: "If you insist on courting disaster, don’t blame others."

Inzaghi was just his cousin, not a blood brother, so he really had no obligation to tirelessly warn him. In fact, deep down, Asaki secretly hoped Inzaghi would fall hard.

Now, all Empire inhabitants know that Pluto is the focal planet for the next phase of development.

Whoever can establish a foothold and seize an early advantage on this planet will eventually profit abundantly in future distribution of interests.

And Luoho Clan’s sole stronghold on Pluto is Spirit-splitting Ice Valley, with Inzaghi, being the Guardian Envoy, having already taken the lead advantage.

If Inzaghi can successfully lead the clan’s forces and catch the fast track of Pluto’s development, he will undoubtedly stand out in the next generation’s evaluations of direct lineage heirs and receive more resources.

But the cake is only so big; if Inzaghi gets more, naturally his other siblings will get less.

Thinking of this, a cold gleam flashed in Asaki’s eyes: "Fight, fight Qin Tian to your heart’s content."

He knew too well that amidst the wave of Pluto development, Inzaghi couldn’t possibly defeat Qin Tian.

The Empire won’t allow it, nor will the numerous forces ready to latch onto Pluto’s interest chain.

Once Inzaghi falls from grace, the position of Guardian Envoy at Spirit-splitting Ice Valley might just come his way.

Royal Star

Shinguji Clan

"Are you saying Hao Er, Yuzuo, and Shinobu were all killed by Qin Tian?"

The Shinguji elder’s tone was gloomy, the atmosphere in the room exceptionally cold and heavy.

"Hao Er was certainly killed by Qin Tian; I’m sure of this."

Shengongsi Youyi: "As for Yuzuo and Shinobu, I didn’t personally see Qin Tian kill them, but..."

He paused, then said: "It’s just a gut feeling. I believe Yuzuo and Shinobu were most likely killed by Qin Tian."

At the time, just before the final battle, almost none of the Holy Blood Clan moguls were missing, except the Shinguji Clan, which had absent two members, including the strongest Shengongsi Yuzuo.

So, he concluded that Shengongsi Yuzuo and Shinobu weren’t killed by demons but died at someone’s hand.

And at that time, who had the ability to kill both of them?

No doubt, the first person he thought of was Qin Tian.

Firstly, Qin Tian and the Shinguji Clan shared a blood feud, and Yuzuo was scheming to eliminate Qin Tian.

Secondly, Qin Tian had the strength to kill Yuzuo.

If his thoughts were known to outsiders, they’d probably think he’s mad.

Shengongsi Yuzuo was a Tier Seven Seven Stars Holy Blood direct lineage, and not to mention non-Holy Blood, even Holy Blood of the same level, or higher by one or two stars, couldn’t claim they could kill Yuzuo.

But having gone through the final battle, he understood exactly how terrifying Qin Tian was.

The elder of Shinguji sat in silence, his fingers unconsciously tapping the desk, making a "thud, thud" sound, each like a knock on Shengongsi Youyi’s heart.

After a moment, he slowly spoke, a chilling coldness flashing in his eyes: "Alright, I understand."

Even putting aside Yuzuo and Shinobu’s fate, just the life of Hao Er was enough to make him loathe Qin Tian — after all, he was his most cherished grandson!

But he knows that Qin Tian can’t be touched for now.

The Pluto project is crucial to the Empire’s grand plan, with Qin Tian being an indispensable core element. Moving against him now, disrupting the Empire’s plan, even the Shinguji Clan couldn’t bear such consequences.

Yet the seed of vengeance has been planted, only to grow wildly in the heart.
