The Peerless Emperor-Chapter 378 - 379: Maternal Grandfather (Fifth Update)

Chapter 378 -379: Maternal Grandfather (Fifth Update)

The reddish-gold Thunder Soul Power was dazzling, hopping and climbing onto nine spherical Metallic Components.

Under the stimulus of the Soul Power, the Metallic Components instantly transformed into metallic liquid, enveloping the sword-like Elemental Components within, and the black Thunder Night Sword, decorated with golden patterns, firmly landed in Lin Qian’s hands.

Zhou Yi’an was very familiar with the black broad-bladed sword adorned with thunder; he had seen it countless times.

But this time, he felt it was unfamiliar, and even Lin Qian in front of him seemed like a stranger.

The reddish-gold Thunder Soul Power and White Orchid Ice Cold Soul Power intertwined within the same person, and two different Ancestor Level Martial Souls successfully armed with Elemental Weapons, one in each hand.

Such a scene, Zhou Yi’an, Fang Shuiwen, and Yang Gui Xiang, the three of them couldn’t even dare to imagine, let alone appear before their own eyes.

Seeing the three elders with their shocked and inexplicable expressions, Lin Qian suddenly got playful, smiled at them, and the bright yellow Minghuang Emperor Soul Power burst forth from within him.

The three kinds of Soul Power mingled together, and amidst the elders’ startled gazes, Lin Qian simultaneously twirls a sword flower with both hands and fiercely slammed the Thunder Night Sword and Cloud Sword together.

In an instant, a dazzling golden light difficult to look at directly emerged, and the Thunder Night Sword and Cloud Sword vanished, replaced by a golden longsword with dragon patterns: the Emperor Sword.

Golden yellow Soul Power surged along the sword like a dragon, exuding an aura of supremacy, and the pressure it emitted when swung was unstoppable—seemingly nothing could block the path where the Emperor Sword traveled.

Consequently, Lin Qian’s Soul Power also erupted entirely, his twelve layers of Soul Light too blinding to look at directly.

“Enough, enough, we know how formidable the young master is. Don’t keep shocking us old men,” Fang Shuiwen rushed forward, frantically waving his hands and shouting at Lin Qian.

Fang Shuiwen’s shout made Lin Qian laugh, reining in his Soul Device and deactivating his Elemental Weapon Armament, asking with the tone of a bragging child, “Elders, how does it feel? I should be qualified now to know everything, right? Don’t hide anything from me.”

The three elders exchanged glances, all of them giving a bitter smile. They prided themselves on being experienced and knowledgeable, but they had never seen a talent as terrifying as Lin Qian.

Zhou Yi’an still clearly understood just how strong the body of the young master before him was.

At this moment, with Lin Qian in front of him, Zhou Yi’an’s heart was roaring: “Master, what a monstrous grandchild you have!”

The three elders slumped in their chairs, staring blankly at Lin Qian in front of them, unable to snap back to reality for a time.

After all, even Yuan Xiang, the legend of the Soul Martial Continent, got dazed and took a long time to recover after seeing Lin Qian with two Ancestor Level Martial Souls, capable of being armed with both simultaneously and also merging them.

If such a person was like this, what about the three of them?

If the three had been worried earlier about telling Lin Qian about his parents and master’s affairs, wondering if it was too soon.

Now, they had completely abandoned such thoughts.

Too soon?

What a joke, with a monster like Lin Qian, telling him now wouldn’t be a problem at all.

The three elders could see clearly how Lin Qian had instantly slain Qin Yunyu.

Yang Gui Xiang directly said to Fang Shuiwen and Zhou Yi’an with a smile, “That Qin Yunyu really was unlucky to encounter a monster like our young master.”

The other two nodded in agreement, feeling that Lin Qian’s achievements, once considered unbelievable, now seemed only natural to them.

The three elders could say with certainty that Lin Qian’s talent, in the entire Soul Martial Continent, was peerless and unmatched.

Having gradually calmed themselves down, the three elders took turns explaining everything to Lin Qian, letting him understand exactly what was happening.

His mother indeed belonged to the Yun family, one of the five great families in the Central Domain—the very same enormous entity Lin Qian had learned about from Fang Ziqian, the creators of the Body Refining Scripture.

His mother, Yun Yunyan, was the young mistress of the Yun family, and his maternal grandfather was the current Family Head of the Yun family.

However, his maternal grandfather was not the most powerful person in the Yun family; the true will of the Yun family lay with his maternal grandfather’s father—his great-grandfather.

Lin Qian learnt from the three elders that their master was actually his maternal grandfather, who had originally been followers of his grandfather.

“Although the master is also the son of the Yun family’s old ancestor, he was adopted from a collateral line, and in his heart, he was not as dear as the direct son, his younger brother.”

“The stronger the Soul Martial Artist, the more difficult it becomes to conceive; thus, it’s common in this world for fathers and sons to have an age difference of a hundred or two hundred years,” Zhou Yi’an said with a long sigh.

According to him, the Yun family’s old ancestor had no heirs until he was two hundred years old, so he took interest in Lin Qian’s grandfather from the direct line and adopted him as a son.

Who would have thought that just five years later, the old ancestor’s wife would become pregnant and give birth to a legitimate son, and Lin Qian’s grandfather’s status plummeted.

Later, to ensure his own son would inherit the position of Family Head, the old ancestor intentionally sent Lin Qian’s grandfather out for cultivation experience.

Lin Qian’s grandfather did not resist; he first left the Central Domain and came to the Southern Domain, where he formed a bond with Fang Shuiwen, Zhou Yi’an, and Yang Gui Xiang, taking the three as followers, and together they made a name in the world.

“Your grandfather is truly a remarkable man, earning a great reputation in this world, known as the Yun Monarch, with the three of us as the three major generals under the Yun Monarch.”

“The master’s ability to assume the role of the Yun family head was solely due to his strength and capabilities, summoned back by the old ancestor to help manage the family. To outsiders, he appears as the head of the family, glorious and limitless, but in reality, to that old ancestor of the Yun family, he is but a dog!” Anger bubbled in Yang Gui Xiang as he said this, and he slammed his fist down strongly onto the ground.

Beside him, Fang Shuiwen yet sighed deeply and slowly said, “The master didn’t want us to be wronged, so he sent us back to the Southern Domain. The three of us, having nothing better to do, established Double Pole Palace, Carefree Sect, and Blood Spirit Valley, playfully competing with one another, cultivating and challenging each other; that’s how we’ve passed the time.”

“How did my parents end up in the Southern Domain?” The fate of Lin Qian’s grandfather kindled a fire in him, but he couldn’t lash out; he had to keep asking.

Regarding this matter, the three elders all frowned, and Zhou Yi’an also silently shook his head, “We also didn’t know about this for long, as your parents fled to the Southern Domain in secrecy.”

“After connecting with the master later on, we came to know the truth,” Fang Shuiwen recalled with a hint of anger on his face, “The old ancestor of the Yun family intended to marry your mother off to Jiang Wenxin of the Jiang family as a concubine.”

“And this Jiang Wenxin had nearly taken over three hundred concubines in the past, of whom more than two hundred were tortured to death by him!”
