In the depths of the Qin Residence, the night was as dark as ink, the stars concealed, and a heavy oppressive atmosphere enveloped this ancient mansion.
Moonlight struggled to penetrate the thick clouds, barely able to outline the majestic buildings, as if even heaven and earth were holding their breath for the impending storm.
In the midst of this tranquility, the Qin family's council hall was brightly lit, the atmosphere tense and grave.
Inside the hall, four imposing figures stood or sat, each exuding immense momentum. They were the rare Heavenly Realm Martial Artists of the current era—Qin Family Patriarch Qin Zong, Ancestor of the Xiao Family Xiao Mubai, Zijin Knight Jin from the Grim Reaper Knight Organization, and Tang Ku from the Hidden Tang Sect.
Qin Zong, dressed in a simple robe, his eyes deep like an abyss, seeming to perceive all things in the world. He sat at the main seat, gently tapping the armrest, each tap seemed to presage some indescribable decision.
