Chapter 2167 - 1661: Sword Intent!

Second update, asking for subscriptions and monthly tickets~~~~...

Having activated the power of the Blood Martial Secret Tome, and reached the Grandmaster Mid-Stage, plus the family has finally reunited, Qin Fang's purpose for coming to Hong Kong Island has been achieved... Naturally, it's time to leave.

To be more precise, it's Qin Tiannan and his wife who are leaving, while Qin Fang may need to wait for some time yet.

"Son, take care of yourself in everything..."

When Qin Fang and Qin Tiannan and his wife were saying goodbye, the couple couldn't help but express their concern.

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself, you two just go and travel the world... Who knows, we might bump into each other somewhere!"

Qin Fang replied casually, having been through so many life-and-death situations, he was more cautious about his safety than anyone... Besides, with his current cultivation, it would take a Great Grandmaster Level expert to pose a threat to his life.

But Great Grandmaster Level experts are not as easy to encounter as cabbages... Even in the Assassin's Alliance, getting an assassin of this level is not something that ordinary people can afford!

Qin Tiannan and Qin Qing, having changed their appearances, left Hong Kong Island and began their world tour, and from then on, these two people ceased to exist... Not even the Qu family knew that Qin Tiannan had returned.

"Your mother returned to the country?"

When the Qu family discovered Qin Qing was missing and approached Qin Fang for information, the answer they got left them quite helpless... Although Qin Fang had arranged for Qin Qing to stay on Hong Kong Island to avoid disaster, Qin Qing herself was not very willing.

Now Qin Qing is going back to the country, and although the Qu family's elderly couple is sad and reluctant, they haven't said much about it, having more or less accepted the situation. Only Old Master Qu seemed to have a hint of understanding, looking at Qin Fang with an unusual gaze, but he too said nothing, pretending not to have discovered anything.

"Since your mother isn't around, you'll have to handle this matter..."

However, Qin Fang didn't expect that his mother, Qin Qing, left him with a burdensome task which his two uncles unceremoniously passed on to him.

"You could have just sent someone else for this, why specifically me?"

Looking at the invitation in front of him, Qin Fang's expression was indescribably sullen.

"This person is your mother's most respected teacher from back in the day. Since she can't go in person, it's only proper for you, her son, to do so... We would like to go, but unfortunately, they might not give us the face!"

Qu Zhenhang confidently stated, then very neatly handed the matter over to Qin Fang.

"Alright, I'll go if I have to!"

With no other choice, Qin Fang reluctantly agreed.

The matter was actually quite simple. An invitation from Star Continent had been sent to Qin Qing, for the 70th birthday of Qin Qing's most respected university mentor... Qin Qing had clearly stated she would attend, but the appearance of Qin Tiannan naturally pushed all other matters aside.

Back then, Qin Qing was the Third Young Miss Qu, hailed as a pearl of Hong Kong Island. Her mentor was an internationally renowned scholar, an influential figure with numerous students worldwide, and had a background that was quite intimidating, with a terrifying influence across Southeast Asia, one that even prominent families like the Qu family on Hong Kong Island dare not offend easily.

The old gentleman's 70th birthday this time wasn't particularly large in scale, with only a few invited guests, but their influence was certainly impressive, including some high-level figures of national importance.

Thus, Qu Zhenhang mentioned that their Qu family wished to attend, but couldn't easily do so... If it displeased some individuals, the Qu family might not collapse, but unnecessary losses were quite possible.

Star Continent is a well-known eastern region in Southeast Asia, very close to the notoriously perilous Strait of Malacca...

This Mr. Xu, and his family behind him, are undoubtedly the largest powerful family in Star Continent, and there are rumors claiming that over half of the shipping industry in the Strait of Malacca is closely associated with the Xu Family.

Maybe the Xu Family directly controls some shares, maybe they hold certain non-controlling shares, or perhaps some seemingly unrelated businesses are actually led by members of the Xu Family behind the scenes...

Yet, the head of this massive family is none other than Old Master Xu, a renowned educator and scholar... which is quite unimaginable for many.

"Truly deserving of being the most powerful family in Southeast Asia... owning an entire island!"

Upon actually attending the banquet, Qin Fang learned some of the Xu Family's details, which indeed made him somewhat envious and resentful.

Speaking of money, Qin Fang had no shortage of it, not counting the invaluable spiritual medicines and treasures he held; just his personal assets were over a billion US dollars. Furthermore, the pharmaceutical company that Chu Yunxuan helped him set up for the Heart Nourishing Pill was about to take off, soon leading to a stream of wealth, ensuring Qin Fang had no financial worries at all.

However, Qin Fang like this can only be considered as a nouveau riche at best, and compared to the Xu Family, which already has a history of over a hundred years in the Star Continent, Qin Fang is far behind.

For instance, the Xu Family's estate is established on an island. Nominally, this island belongs to the Star Continent, but in reality, it has long been the Xu Family's... Not only do important figures from the Xu Family reside there, but they also have their own private guards, and it's said that there are even warships guarding the island's periphery.

To reach this island, one can either take a boat... but the possibility of being shot down by warships or private guards is ninety percent.

Alternatively, one can take a private plane... which also requires permission from the Xu Family; otherwise, it will still be shot down by the island's air defense system.

Fortunately, for this birthday banquet, the Xu Family here cannot neglect their guests too much. After prior communication, the Xu Family's island lifted the "no-fly" order, allowing guests' private planes to arrive at this little island successfully.

As for Qin Fang, although he himself does not have a private plane, the Qu Family does, and so does the Kong Family... Upon hearing that Qin Fang was going to attend the birthday banquet, these two, eager to please, immediately dispatched private planes.

This time, someone from the Kong Family was also attending, but characters like Kong Er were not qualified, not even to mix outside... With no choice, he expressed satisfaction with just sending a plane for a spin... Obviously, this is Kong Er's cover-up words, and Qin Fang didn't know how to console him, so he simply ignored it.

On the private plane, besides the pilot and crew, there was only Qin Fang as the sole passenger...

However, Qin Fang sent everyone out, occupying the cabin alone, ignoring the few stewardesses batting their eyelashes at him... It wasn't that these beauties weren't pretty enough, but Qin Fang had no interest in picking up leftovers.

Especially these leftovers had been simultaneously enjoyed by Qu Da and Kong Er... The further away from those he could get, the better.

In his spare time, Qin Fang took out the Seven-Star Sword Grass, and a tremendous force burst forth instantly, releasing an opposing sharpness... Thankfully, he was on a plane, flying in mid-air, otherwise, it might have attracted the attention of nearby experts, maybe even guessing that some treasure was about to appear!

Even so, when this sword intent appeared, the plane's crew members seemed to be suppressed by some unknown force, nearly leading to a catastrophic crash... Luckily, this change happened in an instant, otherwise, it could have caused real problems.

"What a powerful Seven-Star Sword Grass..."

Qin Fang was also very surprised and muttered to himself,

Though he had long predicted that the Seven-Star Sword Grass was extraordinary, he didn't expect it to be so influential... Of course, ordinary people couldn't withstand it, but even as a Grandmaster mid-stage expert, he felt a moment of daze!

To know, not long ago, when he seized this Seven-Star Sword Grass from Ando Sasuke on that island, Qin Fang hadn't felt it so clearly... Yet after just a few days in the Props Box, this sword intent seemed ready to explode... This kind of pressure and impact truly made Qin Fang's expression serious.

"Sword Intent..."

Qin Fang of course knew this force was the legendary sword intent, that which may only be comprehended but not expressed... And it was this force Qin Fang was readying himself to capture and understand, a power that could make him stronger.

"But, how to comprehend sword intent?"

Yet the problem followed, Qin Fang could learn all sorts of complex skills in an instant, but this sword intent... was undoubtedly outside the scope of skills, so understanding it is no simple task.

Thinking over this matter, Qin Fang placed the Seven-Star Sword Grass in his palms, quietly entering into meditation, trying to feel the power of this sword intent with his heart...

"Mr. Qin, Xu Family Island has arrived..."

For martial artists in meditation, time seems to fly by quickly... When a pretty crew member came knocking to remind him, Qin Fang suddenly awoke from meditation, yet it seemed as though only a blink had passed.

"Understood..."

Having arrived at Xu Family Island, Qin Fang naturally couldn't delay any further, quickly putting away the Seven-Star Sword Grass with its burgeoning sword intent...

"Huh..."

But, to Qin Fang's surprise, when he withdrew the Seven-Star Sword Grass, the last trace of sharp sword intent he received was from a powerful sword intent nearby.

"This Xu Family... seems very extraordinary!"

Such a powerful sword intent was indeed strong, and Qin Fang felt its terrifying presence... And this person, entrenched on Xu Family Island, must have a significant connection to the Xu Family.

In fact...

"You came quite quickly~~"

Qin Fang had already clearly sensed the other party's movement, seemingly speeding towards him! (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you're welcome to vote for recommendations or monthly tickets on Qidian.com, your support is my greatest motivation.)
