The Prodigal Son

As Qin Yu's murderous voice rang out, the various parties who had been holding back immediately took action.

"Zheng..."

A series of sword-drawing sounds rang out, and the cold light emanating from the blades seemed to cause the temperature in the room to drop several degrees.

Qi Dachui moved swiftly, taking a step forward and grabbing Shi Yi before he could even react.

Faced with this sudden turn of events, the Shi family and all the guests present were stunned.

What's going on?

Qin Yu was laughing and joking just a moment ago, how come he's about to take down the entire Shi family in the blink of an eye?

However, before they could even react, a large number of people rushed forward to arrest them.

"Squat down, everyone squat down!"

"Don't move!"

"If you dare to move again, kill you!"

The soldiers, fierce as wolves, rushed into the Shi family's residence and drove the still-dazed guests aside.

The Shi family members were also surrounded, with cold knives held to the necks of those on the outermost edge.

Only then did Shi Yi and Shi Wang realize what was happening.

not good!

It's most likely that Qin Yu found out about that matter!

Shi Yi was filled with fear, but he was still unwilling to give up his last struggle, and roared, "Lord Qin, what do you mean by this?"

"What do you mean?"

Qin Yu stared coldly at Shi Yi, "The Shi family's assassination attempt on the Crown Prince is an unforgivable crime!"

Assassinate the Crown Prince!

The moment those four words were uttered, the scene erupted in chaos.

"What assassination attempt on the crown prince?"

"Was the Crown Prince assassinated by the Shi family?"

"This...how is this possible!"

The guest squatting on the ground muttered to himself, it was unclear whether he was talking to himself or someone else.

Incredulity was written all over everyone's eyes.

Was the crown prince assassinated by the historians?

How... is this possible?

Senseless!

Everyone at the scene was stunned.

"My lord, I'm innocent!"

"How could my family, the historians, possibly assassinate the Crown Prince?"

"Yes, my father was assassinated along with them! He protected the Crown Prince with his life until his death!"

"Someone is definitely trying to slander our family of historians. I implore you, sir, to investigate thoroughly!"

"If the imperial court wants to destroy the Shi family, we have nothing to say! But the imperial court absolutely cannot smear such a accusation on the Shi family!"

"Qin Yu, this is an act of settling a personal score and framing someone!"

The historians were indignant; some tried to defend themselves, some struggled, and some even cursed loudly!

Did the historians assassinate the crown prince?

How is that possible?

If the imperial court is after the Shi family's money, they have nothing to say.

After all, you can't fight city hall.

No matter how wealthy a historian is, he cannot contend with the imperial court.

君要臣death,臣不得不death!

They absolutely cannot admit to the crime of plotting to murder the Crown Prince!

The Shi family members were still shouting excitedly, while Shi Yi and Shi Wang reacted differently.

When Qin Yu uttered the words "assassinate the crown prince," their last glimmer of hope was shattered.

Their worst fears have come true!

Just when they thought they had successfully passed the test, Qin Yu plunged them into the abyss.

"Second Uncle, Third Uncle, please say something!"

"Father, say something!"

"What's wrong with you guys?"

Seeing that the two remained silent, the Shi family members immediately shouted at them again.

Only then did Shi Wang recover from his immense fear.

Suppressing his fear, Shi Wang roared in grief and indignation, "You're spouting nonsense! You're spouting nonsense! Qin Yu, what have we done to offend you? How could you possibly plot against us like this?"

He doesn't want to die!

He didn't want to give up even if there was only a sliver of hope.

At this moment, intense fear had rendered Shi Wang incapable of thinking.

He had only one thought in his mind.

We cannot admit it!

I'd rather die than admit it!

"You dare to argue even when you're about to die?"

Qin Yu's killing intent was palpable. "Do you think I don't know what you and Sun Min are up to deep in Nanping Mountain?"

Hearing Qin Yu's words, Shi Wang trembled all over, but still stubbornly shouted, "Framed! You've framed me! You've framed me..."

Shi Wang kept repeating the word "framed" like a broken record.

Overwhelmed by immense fear, it seemed that only these two words could be uttered.

"Qin Yu, you vicious beast!"

Shi Lian'er, her face filled with resentment, yelled at Qin Yu, "If you want revenge, come at me! I'm not afraid of you!"

In her view, this was Qin Yu and Lü Si's revenge!

In an attempt to retaliate against her, they even tried to pin the assassination attempt on the Crown Prince on the Shi family.

brute!

Qin Yu and Lü Si are both beasts!

You beast, you deserve to die a horrible death!

"You're not qualified!"

Qin Yu didn't even glance at Shi Lian'er, coldly staring at the Shi brothers, "You should have expected this outcome, shouldn't you?"

Meeting Qin Yu's icy gaze, Shi Wang's body trembled uncontrollably.

He wanted to argue, but he didn't know how.

Qin Yu even investigated the matter deep within Nanping Mountain, how could he not have direct evidence!

After keeping it a secret for so many years, it has finally been exposed!

Shi Yiyang knew that any further arguments were pointless, and his gaze suddenly turned cold. "Stop wasting words with them, let's fight!"

Before he could finish speaking, Shi Yi suddenly attacked, slamming a heavy palm strike into Qi Dachui.

Faced with Shi Yi's sudden attack, Qi Dachui was actually forced to take a step back.

Qin Yu was surprised.

I didn't realize that!

Shi Yi is actually a master?

Given Qi Dachui's strength, even if he underestimated his opponent, he was able to knock Qi Dachui back with a single palm strike, so he must have at least the strength of the seventh realm, right?

It might even be the Eighth Realm!

Unexpectedly!

That scoundrel hid himself so well!

Shi Yi defeated Qi Dachui with a single move, and without caring about the rest of the Shi family, he immediately fled.

However, before he could escape even a foot, a strange figure blocked his way.

Shi Yi was now fighting like a cornered beast, and regardless of whether he was a match for Guo Yang, he immediately launched an attack on Guo Yang's vital points.

However, Guo Yang simply raised his hand slightly.

An invisible barrier stood in front of Guo Yang.

Bang!

Shi Yi threw a heavy punch, but the fist couldn't even get close.

Grandmaster!

Shi Yi's expression changed drastically. Just as he was about to withdraw his fist and run away in another direction, Guo Yang suddenly reached out with lightning speed.

Guo Yang's fingers gripped Shi Yi's wrist like iron clamps, and a force traveled through Guo Yang's hand and invaded Shi Yi's meridians.

"what!"

The intense pain caused Shi Yi to involuntarily scream.

Shi Yi's screams finally jolted the dazed Shi family members awake.

Shi Yi's performance has said it all!

The assassination of the crown prince is indeed related to historians!

"Let's give it our all!"

"I'll fight you to the death!"

"kill!"

Ignoring the cold blades pressed against their necks, the Shi family members roared and launched an attack on the soldiers surrounding them.

This is an assassination attempt on the crown prince!

Even if the Shi family had the protection of an immunity token and the late Emperor Gao's instructions, the imperial court would still exterminate the entire Shi family!

They've been driven to the brink!

Only by taking a desperate gamble can we have a chance to survive!

One person can escape, and that's one more chance!

Even if it's like throwing an egg against a rock, even if there's only a sliver of a chance...
