Chapter 39: The Truth Exposed, A Monstrous Injustice!

Chapter 39: The Truth Exposed, A Monstrous Injustice!

Qin Zhenbei saw the Great Demon God, whose hair was streaked with white, and in his eyes, there was hatred and loathing; unwillingly, he addressed him, "Father!"

The Great Demon God waved his hands repeatedly, "Don't call me Father. I don't have a son as cold-blooded as you. If I had known earlier that I would produce a monster like you, I should have abandoned you in the bamboo forest at your grandfather's house back then!"

The crowd from the Yaochi Sacred Land, witnessing the scene before them, all showed expressions of astonishment.

They had assumed that Qin Xuan was wicked and deserved to die.

But right now, this Clan Chief of the Qin Princes Mansion seemed exceptionally biased towards Qin Xuan.

For this reason, he had even turned against the Qin Family.

Was there some hidden story behind this?

Qin Zhenbei suppressed the wild rage in his heart and said in a low voice, "Father, whatever the matter is, let us return to the Qin Princes Mansion to discuss it."

The Great Demon God sneered, "I have already drawn a line with the Qin Family. What business do I have with the Qin Princes Mansion, and what is there for me to discuss with you?"

He lowered his head and looked at his eldest grandson, who was being accused by everyone. His heart ached so much that it felt as if his chest had been sliced open, as if someone had taken a knife to carve a gash in his heart and sprinkled a bag of coarse salt into it.

This was the eldest grandson he had raised since he was an infant.

He was the eldest grandson who used to be inseparable from him, frail yet exceptionally obedient and well-behaved.

The slander from the entire Qin Family was something his eldest grandson could only endure in silence.

But he, as the grandfather, was unwilling to let his eldest grandson suffer such grievances.

He had been waiting, waiting specifically for this day.

To restore his eldest grandson's innocence!

The Great Demon God's tiger-like eyes widened, and in front of everyone, he demanded angrily, "Qin Zhenbei, I ask you today: at the Qin Princes Mansion, did Qin Xuan bully the maids and beat the servants until they were crippled?!"

The voice exploded like thunder, making Qin Zhenbei's eardrums buzz.

He lowered his eyes and remained silent.

"If you dare not admit it, then it is not true." The Great Demon God gripped his Sacred Artifact, a great axe, and swung it publicly. The heavens and earth changed color, and a majestic aura swept across millions of miles; the power of that single axe seemed capable of splitting the heavens and the earth.

The clan elder who had been splashing dirty water on Qin Xuan had his body shattered and his Saint soul scattered by this axe, catching him completely off guard.

Killing in public, the Great Demon God's gaze was icy, "Bullying my eldest grandson, you deserve death!"

Having beheaded a Saint first, the Great Demon God's aura became even more manic. He looked at the people of the Qin Princes Mansion again, "I ask you all again: did my eldest grandson truly covet the Supreme Bone inside Qin Hao? Who among you dares to step out and confront me?"

The people of the Qin Princes Mansion were silent as cicadas in winter, not saying a word, not even daring to meet the Great Demon God's gaze.

The Great Demon God sneered, "Outsiders do not know that the Supreme Bone inside my eldest grandson is the complete version, capable of deceiving even the discerning eye of the Chief Saint Physician of the Ziyang Empire. Unlike that Qin Hao, whose version is only incomplete and has less than half the power, why would my eldest grandson, possessing a complete Supreme Bone, covet a mere incomplete version? Would he pick up sesame seeds only to lose the watermelon?"

"You keep insisting that my eldest grandson coveted the Supreme Bone—do you take everyone in the world for fools?!"

Upon hearing this, the Saints of the Yaochi Sacred Land were all astonished.

They had not expected that there was a distinction between a complete version and an incomplete version of the Supreme Bone.

According to what the Great Demon God said, since Qin Xuan possessed a complete Supreme Bone, why would he need to covet an incomplete one?

Yet the people of the Qin Princes Mansion insisted on it, leaving them unable to think otherwise.

After all, what kind of parents would frame their own biological son?

Qin Xuan looked at his furious grandfather, his heart blooming with joy.

He hadn't expected this sudden turn of events.

It could even be used as an opportunity to add a few chips to his side.

He deliberately stoked the flames, "Grandfather, there is no need to say more. From beginning to end, no one has ever believed me. I have already grown accustomed to this outcome. Now that I know you have always been protecting me, even if I were to die, I would be willing!"

"Little Xuanzi..."

The Great Demon God's furious gaze, upon noticing Qin Xuan, transformed into endless heartache and doting, "It is Grandfather who was wrong. Grandfather should not have believed this group of cold-blooded animals. Since Grandfather has done wrong, I must compensate you. With Grandfather here, no one can bully you, and no one can frame or slander you ever again!"

Looking at his well-behaved and sensible eldest grandson, he announced loudly, "I know that outsiders must be curious as to why the Qin Princes Mansion would frame my eldest grandson in such a way. To tell you the truth, I initially felt there was something strange about it, but I managed to find clues and realized just how dirty and filthy the Qin Princes Mansion is, and just how pitiful my eldest grandson has been!"

He pinched a crystal core from his storage space.

He threw it towards the Yaochi Sacred Land.

The crystal core shattered, and a screen of light emerged from it.

This was the memory from the mind of a Quasi-Saint.

In the images, this Qin Family elder was in Qin Zhenbei's study, having a secret conversation with him.

"Father!"

Qin Zhenbei was shocked. Seeing the images beginning to vividly reenact the scene, he finally could not hold back.

He had a guilty conscience and absolutely could not allow the truth to be revealed.

Like a great sun, wrapped in overwhelming flames, he transformed into a massive, scorching fireball, shattering layers of space as he blasted towards the image.

"You rebellious son, how dare you!"

"Your Highness, the Qin Prince, please calm your anger."

"Do not stir up conflict within the Yaochi Sacred Land."

The Great Demon God, the beautiful woman from Danding Peak, and the Peak Master of Wanzhen Peak.

The three experts of the Saint King Realm joined forces to block Qin Zhenbei's path, not allowing him to approach the light screen.

"Father, I am willing to admit my mistake and compensate Qin Xuan. Please, Father, stop!"

Qin Zhenbei's regret came too late.

He had never imagined that his father would go to such lengths for the sake of Qin Xuan.

Just to restore Qin Xuan's innocence, he was willing to let his own son, the Qin Prince, lose all face!

"It is too late!" The Great Demon God snorted coldly, "I arrived a few days late specifically to find someone to break the Restriction you placed on the memory. Fortunately, I had some favors to call in, and the effort was not in vain."

As his voice fell, the light screen had already reached the deepest part of the memory.

The Qin Family elder looked at Qin Zhenbei and said respectfully, "Your Highness, the eldest Young Master was beaten by the clansmen of the Blood-Moving Realm."

The Qin Prince was cold and utterly disgusted, "Trash!"

"Your Highness, although the eldest Young Master keeps to his duties and Cultivates diligently, the Supreme Bone within him was late by one step, and thus late at every step. This has resulted in the eldest Young Master now possessing a complete Supreme Bone but only having the cultivation of the Blood-Moving Realm, becoming a joke of the Supreme Bone. For the eldest Young Master, the Supreme Bone is equivalent to carrying a precious treasure but being unable to use it."

"He is not worthy of possessing the Supreme Bone. Transplanting it into Hao'er will allow him to progress even further, to fight for that slim chance of opportunity!"

The clan elder was moved, "But that is the eldest Young Master. If any mistake occurs, I fear it will invite the scorn of the world."

The Qin Prince was dismissive, "Just frame him with some fabricated charges. There have been precedents throughout history of deposing the eldest legitimate son."

The clan elder replied with a trembling heart, "The Supreme Bone has taken root within the eldest Young Master's body. Once stripped away, I fear the eldest Young Master's frail cultivation will be unable to withstand the backlash."

"No need to say more, go and make the arrangements." The Qin Prince waved his hand, "At that time, leave it to fate. He is of the Qin Family Bloodline; it is only right that he makes a contribution to the Qin Family."
