Chapter 255: Quelling the Civil Unrest
Under Yuan Dongxing's guidance, Qin Shaochen began to close his eyes, concentrate his spirit, guide a thought, and began to look for his soul sea.
Thoughts are born from the soul sea.
Looking for the soul sea in the mind is actually looking for the way back to "home".
It sounds simple, but it is very difficult to do.
Fortunately, Qin Shaochen has also been practicing for many years, and has considerable experience in concentrating his mind and controlling his thoughts.
This is how he can quickly find a way and grope forward bit by bit.
I don't know how long he groped in the darkness, Qin Shaochen suddenly felt a bright light in front of his eyes, and his consciousness came to a place full of soft light.
It was a very open and empty place.
There was no sky above and no ground below. What I saw was a piece of fog floating everywhere.
Some fog was thicker, like a bunch of clouds.
And some fog was thinner, like a cloud of smoke, floating in front of my eyes.
Qin Shaochen lowered his head and looked at "himself".
I found myself a ball of mist, with neither hands nor feet.
The so-called looking down and looking up, seeing with the eyes, is actually just a feeling.
And this feeling is very novel and interesting!
"I see your forehead begins to glow, maybe you have found your soul sea!"
Yuan Dongxing's voice came from an unknown place, and it felt very far away.
"It seems that your talent is indeed extraordinary. You actually entered the soul sea so quickly."
"Don't worry now!"
"You can slowly look for your soul in there."
"Your cultivation is still low, and your soul is probably still relatively small, and it should not have a very obvious shape."
"It is very likely that it is similar to the mist around you, with a lighter color and a non-fixed shape..."
Yuan Dongxing's voice was still teaching.
"In most cases, it will look like a person."
"You can slowly look for it in there, don't worry."
Qin Shaochen nodded and said, "Okay!"
But he found that he couldn't make any sound at all.
The so-called "nodding" was just a feeling of nodding.
He "shook his head" a little helplessly, and had to move forward.
Only then did he realize that he was not walking, but floating.
Just like the mist floating around his body.
"Thinking back to the first time I entered the Soul Sea, it took me almost ten days to find my soul."
"So, finding the soul is also a very time-consuming thing..."
Yuan Dongxing began to show his chatterbox characteristics, and began to chatter in a distant place.
Qin Shaochen couldn't help but "shake his head" again.
He was not in a hurry, but felt that it was quite interesting to float in such an empty place.
The mist around him was like white clouds in the sky, some like sheep, some like cows, and some like elephants... In short, it was a bit fun.
When he was looking around with interest, he suddenly found that there seemed to be some light flickering not far away.
He was slightly stunned, adjusted his mind, and the whole "person" floated in that direction.
Soon he found that the light was actually golden.
Yuan Dongxing never said that a person's soul can be golden.
"Is there something else in my soul sea?"
Qin Shaochen was very curious, but he didn't feel scared. Instead, he sped up and floated forward.
A few seconds later, after the mist in front of him passed, he saw something glowing.
It still surprised him!
That thing turned out to be a little man shining with golden light!
***
Qin Chaotian didn't expect that the process of leaving the secret realm would be so smooth.
He didn't meet an enemy.
All the enemies disappeared without a trace.
The group passed through the white fog smoothly.
After getting out of the range of the poisonous fog, Qin Chaotian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Immediately, he felt furious.
This time, if it weren't for the help of a mysterious master, the team he led would have been wiped out.
Even he himself would probably be doomed!
He could feel that the Grandmaster Blood Puppet and the formation formed by those Blood Puppet were all coming for him.
It had a clear suppressive effect on his martial arts.
So, as soon as he returned to the Qin family compound, Qin Chaotian immediately ordered the law enforcement team to seal Qin Beihai's house.
Then he immediately convened the elders' meeting.
When the story was told, all the elders were greatly surprised.
There were also many elders who simply did not believe it.
Fairy Yueyu ordered the great elder Qin Chaotian to lead the Qin family's internal guards to cooperate with the law enforcement team to directly search the house of the ninth elder.
It was a pity that Qin Beihai and his main family members were not caught.
There were reports that the ninth elder Qin Beihai returned an hour earlier than him.
After returning to the house, he took his family directly, traveled lightly, and left the Qin family compound.
Disappeared!
"Investigate!"
Qin Chaotian gritted his teeth and ordered Qin Beihai's mansion to be turned upside down.
Soon, some evidence was found.
Under a rockery in the backyard of the Qin family, a large basement was found.
It was connected in all directions and had many rooms.
Some of them were actually prison cells.
There were many martial artists imprisoned inside, and even five or six great martial artists.
They were all given pills and soaked in potions.
After being rescued, he was in a daze for a long time before gradually telling the truth.
It turned out that those people were captured by Madam Xueying and her two apprentices.
After ten days of soaking in medicine, they were going to make new blood puppets.
Fortunately, the production process of blood puppets was more complicated and took a long time, so they had a chance to be rescued.
Then, the internal guards began to interrogate the members of the second house who did not escape.
Finally, all the truth came to light.
It turned out that Qin Beihai, the ninth elder of the second house, was dissatisfied with the arbitrary rule of the great elder Qin Chaotian. He not only cooperated with the evil cultivators, but also colluded with the family's archenemy, the Wang family, to plot and murder the grandmaster of the old Qin family.
Such behavior is tantamount to treason!
The clan leader, Fairy Yueyu, was furious!
The elders held a meeting overnight for several hours before making several major decisions.
Immediately deprive the ninth elder Qin Beihai of all his positions, abolish his clan membership, and confiscate his property.
From now on, once the Qin clan members find this person, they should immediately notify the law enforcement team and arrest him.
All the clan members of the second branch who knew about it but did not report it were punished in various ways.
Some were demoted, and some were fined.
Some of the serious cases were directly expelled from the clan and locked up.
Most of the private property of the second branch was also put into the family treasury.
The moon spirit had tears in his eyes and was deeply saddened!
He publicly stated that he did not discipline his brothers well and did not notice the abnormal behavior of his subordinates, and he also had some responsibility.
Willing to resign from the position of the second elder.
Demoted from the first-level elder to the third-level elder.
In the future, he will only serve as an idle elder who attends the elders' meeting.
This time, the second branch of the old Qin family has greatly lost its strength and has been directly reduced to the bottom.
At the same time, this civil strife has also brought a heavy blow to the old Qin family.
In the battle in the secret realm, more than 20 great martial artists died, and more than a dozen were seriously injured. The total loss was heavy.
In addition, the City Lord's Mansion also imposed a heavy fine on the Qin family because Qin Beihai helped the evil cultivators and harmed the warriors in the city.
After weighing the pros and cons, the Qin family finally paid the fine to the City Lord's Mansion.
Not long after, another piece of news came out.
It was said that Qin Shaochen, the most famous martial arts genius of the Qin family, died in this sensational civil strife for some reason!
As soon as the news came out, many young warriors of the Qin family were shocked.
Fortunately, not long after, the law enforcement team came out to refute the rumor, saying that Deputy Captain Qin was just out on a mission and did not intervene in the civil strife.
His soul tablet was still placed in the ancestral temple.
Safe and sound!
