Rise to God with Life Skill Professions-Chapter 371 - 360: Patriarch Qian Appears

Qin An stared at the empty coffin, his eyelids slightly lowered: "Madam Qian, you owe us an explanation."

Liu Yi’s eyes flickered slightly, and she stepped around behind Madam Qian, ready to strike.

Madam Qian felt the pressure from two Inner God Realm cultivators. Cold sweat appeared on her forehead, and she couldn’t help but raise her hand to wipe it.

But she gritted her teeth tightly, refusing to say a word.

"It seems Madam Qian doesn’t quite understand the methods of the Evil Extermination Bureau," Liu Yi sneered, cold light flashing on her fingertips, "Although I’m not from the Bureau’s torture chamber, I’m more familiar with their tortures than the people there. If you want to experience them, I won’t hesitate to use my methods."

Upon hearing this, more cold sweat appeared on Madam Qian’s forehead, her face as pale as paper.

Qin An raised his hand to interrupt, "Lord Liu, don’t rush. Madam Qian must have her reasons for resorting to such a desperate measure. Why not speak candidly? We have always convinced others through reason."

Madam Qian’s gaze froze slightly.

The sharp killing intent was still vivid in her mind, and now they spoke of reasoning, which was truly ironic.

However, given the current situation and her exposure of the ultimate secret, there were indeed things that needed to be spoken.

Madam Qian took a deep breath and slowly began, "My husband faked his death to avoid those pursuing the ancient tomb."

"Fake his death?" Qin An gently tapped the coffin with his knuckles: "That’s interesting. Continue."

Madam Qian continued, "What I said before was partly true, partly false. Indeed, someone forced my husband to reveal the tomb’s location. That person possesses Inner God Realm skills, beyond the prefecture’s capabilities. My husband claimed only he knew the secret, using the fake death to secure a way out for the Qian family."

Qin An raised an eyebrow, "It seems that it’s not only Patriarch Qian who knows about the tomb. Madam should also have some knowledge."

Madam Qian nodded, "I do know a bit. It seems that the tomb contains something that could upheave the Xunyang Prefecture. Even my husband dared not divulge it."

The Heavenly Extreme True Meaning is indeed enough to cause a stir in Xunyang Prefecture. If it were to appear, all Inner God Realm experts in the prefecture would likely swarm.

At that time, Xunyang Prefecture would fall into chaos. Even if the Evil Extermination Bureau acted with full force, it might not calm the chaos.

Qin An’s tone turned cold, "If that’s the case, please lead us to Patriarch Qian. The Evil Extermination Bureau will ensure your family’s safety."

Madam Qian gritted her teeth, "In three days, that mysterious person will come to the Qian family. If I can’t provide what the mysterious person wants, the Qian family might face great calamity. If you two can remove this chaos, my husband will naturally appear. At that time, whatever you want to know, my husband will tell you completely."

Qin An pondered for a moment, then turned to Liu Yi, "It’s not impossible."

Liu Yi retracted her aura, "I want to see who’s after the things we want. Fine, three days it is. If the trouble is resolved, and you don’t lead us to Patriarch Qian, it might be us who wash the Qian family in blood."

Madam Qian, hearing this, turned pale as paper and quickly waved her hands, "Don’t worry, sirs, you’re from the Evil Extermination Bureau. Three days later, if the crisis is alleviated, we will certainly fulfill our promise."

"Let’s go." Qin An turned, "It’s quite late already. Why not go back and rest first?"

The matter was already discussed, any further talk would be meaningless. Better to return early and rejuvenate.

Liu Yi agreed with a nod, leaving the spirit hall with Qin An.

Madam Qian watched their departing backs, clenching her fists, seemingly caught in a dilemma.

After a long while, her fists slightly loosened, and she sighed softly, quietly departing.

...

After walking for a while, Qin An suddenly turned and said, "Go keep a close watch on her, see what she’s up to, and do not expose your presence."

Liu Yi glared at Qin An, "We’re both Mountain Patrol Silver Generals, and my cultivation is higher than yours, how can you command me?"

Qin An glanced at Liu Yi, "You’re an old hand."

Being called an ’old hand’ immediately brought a bright smile to Liu Yi’s eyes.

Getting a compliment from Qin An was more thrilling than her grandmother’s praises.

Liu Yi didn’t question why Qin An gave the order, happily waving her hand.

"Alright, I’ll head out first. If anything happens, I’ll come to inform you."

Watching Liu Yi’s disappearing figure, Qin An shook his head slightly and quickened his pace towards the room.

...

Time passed quickly, and soon a few days had fleetingly gone by.

During this time, Qin An and Liu Yi stayed with the Qian family.

Every day, Qin An waited in his room.

Meanwhile, Liu Yi closely monitored Madam Qian’s activities.

Fortunately, Madam Qian made no suspicious moves, and these days remained as calm as water.

Until the third day arrived when Liu Yi was drinking tea with Qin An, a hurried footstep came, disrupting their serene moment.

With the footsteps came an urgent knocking on the door.

Simultaneously, a voice from the Qian family disciple echoed.

"Mr. Qin, Lord Liu, someone has trespassed on the Qian family property. Madam sent me to notify you two, asking for your assistance!"

Qin An’s eyes narrowed slightly, "They’ve come."

Liu Yi stood up, killing intent like an ocean wave, "I want to see who is scheming for the tomb."

Without further word, they left the room and rushed to the position indicated by the Qian family disciple.

Rounding the front courtyard, they reached the backyard.

In the largest room in the backyard, Madam Qian sat on a chair, hands and feet trembling, staring helplessly at the floor.

In the main seat in front of the room, a man in a black robe was playing with a teacup in his hand, exuding a faint yet palpable killing intent.

"I said before, if you can’t provide me with the information I want in three days, the Qian family will be obliterated."

The black-robed man raised his head, revealing a face covered in scars, his eyes emitting a chilling killing intent.

Madam Qian lowered her head in silence, her whole body shaking as if she had plunged into an ice cellar.

"You don’t speak," the black-robed man stepped in front of Madam Qian and lifted her chin with his hand, "That means you truly don’t want to tell me the tomb’s secret. This Qian family will be ruined by your hands. If so, you may feel guilty to the Qian family ancestors after you pass."

Madam Qian gritted her teeth, "I really don’t know anything."

"Hahaha!" The black-robed figure laughed heartily, "Alright, alright, you’re indeed a tough one. But no matter how tough you are, you won’t escape from my grasp. Next, I’ll slaughter the entire Qian family right before your eyes, and then relentlessly torture you until you reveal the whereabouts of the tomb. Only then will I offer you a chance to live."

"But rest assured, you won’t die. I’ll do everything to keep you alive, so you experience the agony of being unable to die amidst endless torment."

Each time the black-robed figure spoke a word, Madam Qian trembled and the fear in her eyes grew ever more intense.

Yet she bit her lip hard to prevent herself from making any sound.

Her lower lip broke, and blood flowed down her chin into the palm of the black-robed figure.

The black-robed figure let go of her hand, brought it to his nose, and greedily inhaled.

"Next, let the Qian family be annihilated in your silence."

He was about to turn around, grab Madam Qian’s head, and drag her into the courtyard.

But at this moment, a heavy footstep sounded.

"Who is it?"

The black-robed figure swiftly turned his head, looking toward the main gate directly in front.

From the gate, two figures dressed in dark robes strode forward, exuding a formidable killing aura.

The black-robed figure’s breath hitched, and his pupils constricted, "Mountain Patrol Silver General!"

He hurriedly turned around, preparing to flee.

Though there was a wall behind him, for an Inner God Realm expert, breaking through was just a matter of ease.

Yet before the black-robed figure could take two steps, a dazzling True Qi burst through the air.

The black-robed figure sensed the fierce killing aura behind him, gritted his teeth, and turned back fiercely, black True Essence surged all over him, like a spiritual snake, rushing to strangle the colorful True Essence.

But the colorful True Essence was seemingly indestructible, instantly breaking through the black energy, hitting the black-robed figure’s chest hard.

The black-robed figure flew backward, crashed into the wall, and then bounced off, landing heavily on the ground.

As he struggled to get up, a voice reached his ear.

"I thought you were strong, just an Inner God Realm novice, yet you dare to wipe out an entire family?"

Liu Yi strode forward with long legs, slowly approached the black-robed figure, and kicked him in the head.

The black-robed figure flew again, smashing the tea table not far away into pieces.

This kick, infused with colorful True Essence, left the black-robed figure heavily injured.

The black-robed figure struggled to sit up, leaning against the wall, spitting a large amount of blood from his mouth, the fear in his eyes expanding gradually.

This woman not only possessed great strength but was also ruthlessly cruel, crippling him with just one kick.

Even the Mountain Patrol Silver General wasn’t this ferocious.

His gaze shifted to the young man beside the woman, the fear in his eyes amplifying several-fold, "You’re the twin masters of blades and fists, Qin An!"

Qin An raised an eyebrow slightly, approached the black-robed man, and crouched down slowly, "Since you know me? Then you must hold a grudge against me, yet I haven’t seen you before."

The black-robed man lowered his head and said nothing.

Qin An continued, "If you know me, but I don’t know you, then there’s only one possibility: the person behind you bears a grudge against me."

The black-robed man suddenly raised his head, a complex light flickering in his eyes.

Just as Qin An was about to speak again, the black-robed man suddenly shouted loudly.

"Don’t even think of coaxing a single word from me! When the master’s plan succeeds, the entire Xunyang Prefecture will be transformed. Everything we do is to change Xunyang Prefecture, to see Xunyang Prefecture thriving. It’s a great cause you don’t understand!"

Qin An frowned and said, "Such fanaticism, it seems the Mountain Patrol Golden General behind you has done quite some brainwashing."

Upon hearing the words ’Mountain Patrol Golden General’, the black-robed man’s body slightly trembled.

Then, suddenly his eyes widened, filled with blood streaks, and his life force disappeared instantly.

Qin An frowned slightly, "He’s dead. What kind of method is this?"

Just as he approached, he had already used the Water and Fire Blood Ignition Demon-sealing Hand’s sealing technique.

The black-robed man couldn’t even think of mobilizing his True Essence, let alone move.

But now, he suddenly died, which left Qin An somewhat puzzled.

Liu Yi stepped forward and said, "If I’m not mistaken, he’s definitely practiced the Divine Soul Refining Body Skill. The Mountain Patrol Golden General behind him surely has a way to control his life and death through the Divine Soul Refining Body Skill, otherwise, so many people wouldn’t willingly serve him."

"I see." Qin An stood up, "If that’s the case, then everything makes sense now."

Regarding the death of this black-robed figure, Qin An was indifferent.

If he could get answers, it would be good; if not, he wouldn’t lose much.

Now, the main focus was on another matter.

Qin An turned to Madam Qian and said lightly, "Now the crisis is resolved. If you don’t let Mr. Qian come forward to disclose the whereabouts of the tomb cluster, then the Qian family will truly face death without a burial place."

The words were gentle, like a spring breeze, but in Madam Qian’s ears, they sent chills throughout her body.

She knew well, the woman beside her appeared fiercely murderous, but her actions and words were very obedient towards the man named Qin An.

This proves Qin An possesses even greater strength or perhaps more ruthless methods than the woman.

Madam Qian shivered as she stood up, respectfully said, "Since the two masters resolved the crisis for the Qian family, I will lead the two masters to meet my husband."

She dared not speak nonsense.

With the matter settled, failing to fulfill the promise meant only death awaited her.

Qin An nodded, indicating for Madam Qian to lead the way.

But right at this moment, footsteps sounded.

In the dark night, a stooped figure gradually became clearer.
