In the following days, the entire capital of the Da Qi Kingdom fell into turmoil.

After Qin Ba Tian's strong return, he immediately stripped Qin Yuan Xiong of his position as the acting family head and handed that position over to Qin Yuan Zhi.

As for Qin Yuan Xiong, he was punished to handle some minor family affairs, essentially losing all his power.

Additionally, several elders of the Qin family experienced significant changes in their positions; some elder members of the same generation as Qin Yuan Xiong were directly stripped of their elder titles, no longer involved in any family matters, and only required to tend to herbs and flowers each day.

In response, many Qin family elders were trembling, not daring to speak.

If it were the usual Qin Ba Tian, these elders might have argued their case.

However, knowing that Qin Yuan Xiong was a half-step Wuzong, who would dare to utter a word?

Moreover, recalling the terror of Qin Yue Chi and how they had originally supported her expulsion, these elders were even more fearful, worried about retaliation.

The only one who was dissatisfied was Zhao Feng.

Upon learning the news, she rushed in like a shrew, but was knocked to the ground by Qin Ba Tian’s furious glare, infuriating Zhao Feng, who declared she would return to her maternal home.

Qin Ba Tian directly responded, "If you go back, don’t come back."

This left Zhao Feng in shock, and she cried wretchedly, claiming the Qin family only recognized Qin Chen and did not consider her son, Qin Feng, a member of the family.

The onlookers sighed in pity.

Yet, his words only made Qin Ba Tian even more enraged. If it weren't for Zhao Feng, causing trouble, how could his grandson Qin Feng have ended up in such a state?

Furious, he ordered his servants to drag her out, forbidding her from leaving.

Learning of this, Zhao Zhen hurriedly came to intercede, but was coldly rebuffed by Qin Ba Tian, who said coldly, "Old in-law, you should worry about yourself. This time, your commotion in the capital, targeting my grandson, who knows how Zhao Gao will deal with you? And you still have the leisure to manage my affairs? I won’t keep you."

After that, all Zhao family members were expelled from the Qin residence by the Qin family's disciples.

The Zhao family from Lingnan, as one of the top noble families in the capital, had a high status, but being driven out like this by the Qin family naturally filled them with indignation.

However, in the past, they dared not confront the Qin family. Now, knowing that Qin Ba Tian was a half-step Wuzong powerful figure, how could they dare to act recklessly? They had no choice but to leave in frustration.

"Your Majesty, what should we do now?"

Meanwhile, the imperial palace of the Da Qi Kingdom was also rife with undercurrents.

In contrast to the Qin family's drastic measures, Zhao Gao sat on the throne with a gloomy expression, regretting his decisions deeply.

Qin Chen had such exceptional talent, Qin Yue Chi’s cultivation was surprisingly high, and Qin Ba Tian had actually broken through to half-step Wuzong.

Every time he thought of these, Zhao Gao felt like he was about to vomit blood from frustration.

If he had known things would turn out this way, he would never have given up on Qin Chen, even if it meant death.

Now that the Qin family was dissatisfied with him, it even caused Zhao Gao to feel a hint of panic.

Yes, panic.

For so many years, Zhao Gao had suppressed the Qin family because of Qin Ba Tian's outstanding achievements.

But now, with Qin Yue Chi at such a high cultivation level and Qin Ba Tian having broken through to half-step Wuzong, besides holding a strong military force...

If the two were to ally, it wouldn't be impossible to overturn the Da Qi Kingdom's regime.

What to do? What can be done now?

Zhao Gao felt somewhat flustered, his expression dark.

"Your Majesty, I actually advised you against this from the start."

Xiao Zhan sighed from the side.

To be honest, when Zhao Gao was preparing to abandon Qin Chen, he too felt immense disappointment.
