Qin Chuan took out the Five Elements Immortal Flag and looked at it. His expression froze slightly, filled with surprise.
"What's wrong, Senior Brother?" Junior Sister asked worriedly.
If it were just her, she wouldn't be able to get out, but she didn't want to harm her Senior Brother, so she was very nervous.
"It's alright, don't worry, we can get out!"
Qin Chuan looked up and smiled. The position on the Five Elements Immortal Flag was currently in a mysterious state.
It wasn't dim, nor was it bright. Bright meant it could be used, while dim meant it couldn't.
But now it was half bright and half dim, a situation he had never encountered before, so Qin Chuan was a little surprised.
Qin Chuan still decided to try. Together with Junior Sister, Qin Chuan used the Five Elements Immortal Flag, but the prompt said it couldn't be used.
Hmm?
This state was half bright and half dim. It wasn't that it could be used, but it wasn't that it couldn't be used either. Why couldn't it be used?
Just then, a thought appeared in Qin Chuan's mind: it could be used, but after use, the Five Elements Immortal Flag would be unusable for the next three months.
This seems to have no restrictions; it's just three months, I can wait three months. It seems unimportant.
But sometimes it can be fatal. When there's something important, an emergency that needs immediate attention, waiting three months might mean it's too late.
Of course, this refers to situations where the distance is too far and the Five Elements Immortal Banner is needed. So, this needs careful consideration. Three months isn't a long time, but in special circumstances, it can definitely lead to lifelong regret.
Fortunately, Qin Chuan doesn't have anything important to do right now, so three months is manageable. Besides, it's uncertain whether he can even get out without the Five Elements Immortal Banner.
Looking around, his Golden Divine Eyes observed and discovered that these magical formations contained mysterious patterns, forming natural arrays. These arrays had no pattern, and Qin Chuan couldn't discern any pattern, let alone figure out how to break them.
They were incredibly sophisticated, making these stone walls impenetrable, at least at Qin Chuan's current level.
This time, he took a risk. If it weren't for the Five Elements Immortal Banner, Qin Chuan really wouldn't know how to get out.
His junior sister looked around with longing. Although it was only a short time, this place would be one she would never forget.
Qin Chuan and his junior sister left and appeared outside the Li Wang City government. Although only a short time had passed, the place was already brightly decorated
, as if some major celebration had taken place, which puzzled Qin Chuan and his junior sister.
However, they soon learned that their junior sister's blood uncle had eagerly declared himself the head of the family and was celebrating grandly. Not only that, but he had also imprisoned all of the Li Wang City Lord's family members.
He knew his brother's temperament and was confident that he could hold out until the young man and his nominal daughter were killed.
Even his daughter would not be spared; he couldn't afford to be lenient, as his entire family was still there—their relatives.
So when Qin Chuan and his junior sister appeared, everyone was stunned, as if they had seen a ghost. They just stared at Qin Chuan and his junior sister in silence.
For a moment, the place was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. "Junior sister's uncle"—that's how it's called, since Qin Chuan didn't know his real name—"well, let's call him the current city lord."
The city lord's expression changed drastically upon seeing Qin Chuan and his junior sister. He knew these two were up to no good,
and that good intentions were rare. He was completely bewildered by their sudden appearance and glanced behind them, wondering if that other person had also come out.
No, he was confused. His brother was crippled; even if he were out, so what? He was now the city lord of Li Wang City.
"Greetings, gentlemen. Today is a joyous occasion for the Li family. Welcome," the man said with a smile, extremely polite.
He was ruthless, but not stupid. He knew that one shouldn't hit a smiling face, and besides, he knew his brother's daughter was definitely an enemy of his father, or at least not a relative.
Therefore, whatever he did, even if he offended his brother, wouldn't elicit any reaction from his niece; there was no direct conflict between them.
Qin Chuan was truly unsure what to do this time. Although he disliked the man before him, he also disliked his junior sister's father.
Therefore, he hadn't considered doing anything. Families like this were not uncommon; many were like this, so it had nothing to do with him. Ultimately, it depended on his junior sister's attitude.
Junior Sister's mother only had Junior Sister as her child, so the current Li Wang City Lord's Mansion has basically no connection with Junior Sister anymore.
It was Junior Sister's father who trapped her and Qin Chuan there, but Li Wang City Lord's actions, ultimately intended to harm Junior Sister and Qin Chuan, were influenced by this man.
This could be considered a reason; mainly, he disliked this man and couldn't find a reason to teach him a lesson, but now that he had, he naturally wanted to do something, since this man was trying to kill him.
Qin Chuan thought of this, noticing Junior Sister's slight frown, knowing what she was thinking, or at least guessing some of it, so Qin Chuan spoke.
"You think you can just let what you've done go?" Qin Chuan smiled.
The man panicked; his brother's eyes and words when he killed Qin Chuan and his daughter were too obvious, but at that time he hadn't thought Qin Chuan and Junior Sister would still be able to escape.
The man tried to calm himself down and said softly, "Friend, there's no grudge between us, is there?"
"You think denying it is interesting? You think I'll just let it go if you don't admit it? If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't need to waste a single word on you." Qin Chuan's voice was very soft.
But the man trembled.
His elder brother had been crippled by him, regardless of the reason or the means, his elder brother was still crippled by him. Now
, his cultivation was actually on par with his elder brother's. He had always hidden his cultivation level, but even if his cultivation was similar to his elder brother's, if this person could cripple his elder brother, then crippling him shouldn't be difficult for him either.
"Then what do you want?" the man said helplessly, his tone already showing a hint of submission.
"You want to kill me? What do you think I should do?" Qin Chuan said.
"Name your terms. As long as I can bear them, I'll accept it," the man said.
The man was smart. At this moment, he had to maintain a good attitude and speak eloquently. If the other party's demands were too harsh, he would rather die than suffer the consequences.
As long as he could bear it, he would swallow this insult today and wait for another day.
Qin Chuan shook his head: "I'll let you name yours."
This put the man in a difficult position. He looked at Qin Chuan with confusion. He sensed the hostility in Qin Chuan's eyes, but he didn't want to fight Qin Chuan because he saw the confidence and domineering aura in Qin Chuan's eyes.
It was as if he was waiting for me to fight him.
The more this happens, the more a man knows that as long as he can endure it, he must endure it.
