The Innate Realm expert who carried the silver had even less on him, with only three hundred taels.

This indirectly indicated that the He Family’s economic strength was weaker.

Now it made sense as to why the He Family wanted to seize those hundred mu of fertile farmland. With the backing of an Innate Realm expert in the family and even more formidable forces, they naturally wanted to take full advantage of Qin Niu, a seemingly insignificant figure.

Not to take advantage of such an opportunity would be foolish.

He Sige was arrogant and flamboyant, and he was the actual controller of the He Family’s agricultural sector.

If he could exchange some average fertile fields for those hundred mu of prime farmland, even with over a dozen mu of barren land, it would be a significant contribution. He might even use this achievement to compete for the position of family head.

His calculations were meticulous, but unfortunately, he met a tough character.

After scouring the bodies for any valuables, Qin Niu said to Wang Wanyan and her father, “If Uncle Wang is worried about the He Family seeking revenge, there is another solution. I will now escort you into the city. You may find an inn there to stay at.”

“This is an excellent idea,”

Wang Furen immediately nodded in agreement.

“Then, gather your belongings, and I will take you there now.”

Qin Niu also happened to be going into the city to purchase a set of cultivation materials.

Especially the Invisibility Talisman from last time, he was extremely eager to obtain another one.

Owing such a huge favor to the mute girl, he certainly needed to repay it twofold in the future.

…

Soon, the Wang Family father and daughter came out with their female servant.

The luggage they brought wasn’t much.

Wang Furen might have considered that this was an escape for their lives, wishing to quickly flee out of the He Family’s pursuit range, so they left with just the essentials.

Bearing in mind the servant girl was brought along, it showed Wang Furen’s deep affection for this woman.

“This Sweaty Precious Horse is perfect for your travel, and there’s even a ready carriage; please get on,”

Qin Niu unceremoniously claimed the Sweaty Precious Horse for himself.

Only, he hadn’t anticipated that when he went to lead the horse, the creature, being extremely intelligent, reared up on its forelegs, struggling and neighing vehemently.

“Calm down.”

Qin Niu grasped the horse’s neck with his hand, pinning it so it could not move.

The Sweaty Precious Horse was much larger than an average steed; standing beside it, Qin Niu and the animal were not at all comparable in size.

Yet, Qin Niu’s cultivation was far superior, and it took little effort for him to subdue it.

“Alright, the four of you sit in the carriage, I will take the reins,”

Qin Niu sat on the shaft of the carriage, personally acting as the coachman for his fiancée.

The way was unobstructed, and there was no pursuit from He Family’s experts.

After leaving Shuangfeng Village, the carriage took to the main road, racing along at breakneck speed.

The Sweaty Precious Horse lived up to its reputation as a famed warhorse.

Its stamina and pulling power were both exceptional.

Following behind the carriage, a Green Ox was kicking up dust.

Qin Niu was worried that after they left, the He Family’s anger would fall upon the Green Ox, and they would simply slaughter it.

So, he brought it along.

Furthermore, in case they encountered experts from the He Family on the road, having the Green Ox with them could provide some support.

“After the upcoming intersection, we’ll be out of Jade Stream Town, and we should be safe,”

Wang Furen sat inside the carriage, occasionally lifting the curtain to look ahead.

The intangible pressure from the He Family made him extremely anxious.

Qin Niu, on the other hand, appeared unruffled.

It wasn’t just about killing He Sige; even if it were an esteemed elder like Elder Jiu Yin, as long as there was a chance, Qin Niu would strike without hesitation.

“Master, it looks like someone is chasing us from behind,”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Xiao Qing was unlike Wang Furen; as she sat inside the carriage accompanying Wang Wanyan, she would also occasionally glance back.

It was approaching evening now.

The sky was growing dark, and night was about to envelop the world completely.

Under normal circumstances, there should be no one out.

The people appearing behind them were almost certainly the He Family’s pursuers.

“Hurry up, faster, we must not let them catch us,”

Wang Furen urged continuously, seeing that they were close to escaping Jade Stream Town, he felt his life hanging by a thread.

“Dad, Ah Niu is already pushing the horse as fast as he can. Don’t rush him anymore,”

Wang Wanyan, however, was concerned for her betrothed.

“Xiao Qing, check the number of pursuers and their ages,”

Qin Niu concentrated on driving the carriage, unable to turn around.

Otherwise, if the carriage flipped over, it wouldn’t be a joke.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“There are only three of them, it’s too dark to see their ages clearly. They’re all on horseback. The leader seems to be an old man, short in stature, and both his beard and hair are probably white,” Xiao Qing reported the situation of their pursuers.

“Uncle Wang, does the He Family have a short old man?”

Qin Niu was very young, and usually only active within Shuangfeng Village, so he wasn’t very familiar with the He Family.

Not to mention the He Family, he also didn’t know much about the Yan Family.

“Let me have a look.”

Wang Furen quickly peered through the small window at the back of the carriage.

“Oh my god, that old man looks like the father of the He Family’s old patriarch. I’ve only seen a portrait once. I heard he passed away many years ago, how is he still alive?”

After Wang Furen took a look, he exclaimed in fright.

He Siye was already thirty-seven or thirty-eight years old, and the old patriarch of the He Family, He Siye’s grandfather.

According to a generation being counted as twenty years, the He Family’s old patriarch must be at least eighty or ninety years old.

Then the father of the old patriarch would be over a hundred years old?

In those days, not many people lived to be a hundred.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“That makes sense, the He Family knew I am a first-class noble but still dared to make a move; they must have something to rely on. Having an old ancestor still alive is not surprising.”

Qin Niu had seen the five old ancestors of the Fang Family, all of whom were extremely old.

For an established major clan like the He Family, having an old ancestor over a hundred years old still clinging to life, what’s so strange about that?

Many major clans liked to play this trick.

Once the powerhouse of a family reached a certain age, they would declare to the world that they’ve passed away from illness, and then make a big show of handling the funeral. It was all to deceive the public.

In fact, they were hiding their strength, allowing that powerful individual to continue cultivating in secret.

Some were kept so secret that even their own family members were unaware.

Only the head of the family knew the person was still alive.

“Qin Niu, you have killed many of my He Family; you cannot escape.”

A fierce shout came from behind them.

“Xiao Qing, can you drive a carriage?”

Qin Niu knew that there would definitely be a fierce battle today; he prepared to face the enemy alone.

Having Wang Wanyan and the others at his side would only become a burden.

“Yes,”

Xiao Qing understood Qin Niu’s intention.

“You take over the reins and lead them into the city. If you reach the city gate and they don’t open it for you, use this command token and call for the gate,”

Qin Niu took out the token given by the Fang Family and handed it to Xiao Qing.

In Black Tiger City, the Fang Family was one of the top preeminent families. Their command token had unimaginable power.

“Be careful, Master. Once I have escorted Sister Wanyan safely inside the city, I will come back immediately to help you,”

Xiao Qing took over the token and took charge of the carriage.

“If the old ancestor of the He Family is formidable, your assistance would be in vain. It would be better to take this command token and seek out Fang Lian of the Fang Family, and tell him the He Family wants to kill me; he will surely come to the rescue.”

At that moment, Qin Niu could only rely on his connections with the Fang Family.

The He Family, knowing that their Innate Realm expert had been killed, still dared to pursue; this indicated that the old ancestor’s cultivation must be very terrifying.

Whether he has reached the Spirit Qi Realm is difficult to say.

The likelihood of him being at the peak of the Innate Realm is greater.

Because a Spirit Qi Realm expert already has the ability to lead their family to establish a solid footing within the city.

Given the arrogance of the He Family, if they truly had a Spirit Qi Realm expert, they wouldn’t allow the Yan Family and Pang Family to live peacefully.

A single mountain cannot harbor two tigers.

The three families were able to coexist peacefully because none could devour the others.

It’s impossible for each of the Yan Family, Pang Family, and He Family to have a Spirit Qi Realm expert, right?

Spirit Qi Realm experts aren’t that common.

If a family could produce a Spirit Qi Realm expert, they could definitely leap to become a top powerhouse locally.

Even in the city, to become a prominent family.

He Siye and that Innate Realm expert named Uncle Qiong didn’t carry much silver money, indicating that the He Family was not living in wealth.
