Without a leader, the remaining few inner sect elders of the Gui Xian Sect were no match for the numerous powerhouses of the Da Qi Kingdom and were all intercepted, falling into an encirclement.

However, despite knowing they could not resist, none of these Gui Xian Sect elders attempted to surrender; instead, they fought back fiercely, drenched in blood.

In the end, after losing two members, they realized the situation was dire and shouted for surrender.

"This Gui Xian Sect is audacious, daring to attack the geniuses of my Da Qi Kingdom; their crimes are unforgivable. Kill them all."

Zhao Gao's gaze was cold and merciless.

Puchi!

Blood splattered everywhere.

Ultimately, all the experts from the Gui Xian Sect were slaughtered on the spot, their blood staining the streets.

From then on, all the powerful individuals sent by the Gui Xian Sect fell, with not a single survivor.

The stench of blood lingered in the streets of the royal capital.

Everyone looked toward Qin Yuechi, their eyes shining with an inexplicable brilliance.

They all understood that if it weren't for Qin Yuechi stepping in today, not only would the experts of the Gui Xian Sect have been wiped out, but every person present could have faced danger, even perilous death.

Meanwhile, the expressions of the Qin family members were particularly complex.

Their faces changed, filled with regret.

Had they known Qin Yuechi was this powerful, even with ten times their courage, they would not have dared to expel Qin Yuechi and Qin Chen from the Qin family.

However, they did not understand why, if Qin Yuechi was so strong, she had always endured humiliation, even when Qin Chen was insulted, remaining calm.

"Father, are you alright?"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qin Yuechi quickly approached Qin Batian, her face displaying concern.

"I'm fine."

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Qin Batian's face bore a hint of relief mixed with pain: "Yuechi, you’ve suffered these years."

"Father, what you said is entirely Yuechi's own decision." Qin Yuechi shook her head, then smiled: "However, Yuechi did not expect that my child with Zhan Tian would possess such remarkable talent for cultivation. I believe Zhan Tian will be very pleased when he learns of this."

When mentioning Zhan Tian, a shy and longing expression appeared on Qin Yuechi’s face, similar to that of a young girl.

Her stunning beauty and innocent demeanor made all the men present wide-eyed and unable to tear their gazes away.

"Chen'er, come meet your grandfather."

Qin Yuechi waved to Qin Chen.

"Yes!"

Qin Chen stepped forward, feeling an indescribable mixture of emotions.

Calling an old man "grandfather" was indeed somewhat awkward, but Qin Batian's previous strong stance touched him deeply.

At least he felt no animosity toward Qin Batian.

"Hahaha, you brat, it’s been so many years, why do you look so strange? You won’t even call me grandfather?"

Seeing Qin Chen's peculiar expression, Qin Batian couldn't help but laugh heartily.

"Old Master Qin, Miss Qin, if it weren't for the two of you just now, our Da Qi Kingdom would have faced a real crisis. Thankfully, the strong enemy has been eliminated. Are both of you alright?"

At this time, Zhao Gao approached with a smile, expressing his concern.

His tone was warm, as if there was no unpleasantness between them.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. The old minister is still in good health and not in danger of dying."

Qin Batian snorted coldly.

As for Qin Yuechi, she merely cast a faint glance at Zhao Gao without speaking.

But her pure and proud demeanor made Zhao Gao feel inferior.

If Zhao Gao did not resent Qin Yuechi, it would be impossible; not long ago, such an exquisite woman was designated by the late emperor to be his consort.

Unexpectedly, to escape marriage, she left without a word, only to return with Qin Chen.

This made him a laughing stock among the emperors of the Da Qi Kingdom.

Over the years, although Zhao Gao appeared indifferent, he never mentioned this matter, yet deep in his heart, there remained resentment.
