Xiao Qin hurriedly flew to a distant mountain and stood at its peak. He then took out a token and informed all his friends to get out of the Secret Realm as soon as possible, it was going to be destroyed.
In fact, Xiao Qin did not need to warn anyone, everyone who entered the Secret Realm experienced a few events that stirred their hearts. Because of the constant shrinking of the landscape, cracks appeared in countless places, and many unforeseen dangers appeared that killed people. These dangers included but were not limited to the crumbling of mountains, Chaos Beasts' riot, and more.
Everyone was already thinking of leaving the Secret Realm.
Xiao Qin also prepared to leave. However, looking back in the direction of the platform, he started reminiscing about his past.
Xiao Qin's heart was burdened by the weight of his painful past, a time when he was an outcast within the Xu Family. His full name was Xu Xiao Qin, but because his mother was just a maid, he was denied the right to use the esteemed 'Xu' surname. It was a source of constant torment for him, a constant reminder of his lower status.
He remembered that in the ancestral halls of the Xu Family, his presence was a blemish, a stain on the family's honor. While others reveled in their prestigious lineage, he was an outcast, forever marked by his mother's humble origins.
Every day, he faced the cold glares and taunts of his cousins and uncles. They saw him as an unwanted intruder, a living reminder of his mother's ill-fated affair with a member of the Xu Family.
His father, the younger brother of the Xu Family's head, was no different from a villain in his life. He never acknowledged Xiao Qin's existence, let alone his claim to the Xu name.
Xiao Qin grew up in the shadow of rejection, his heart always aching for acceptance. He was but a lonely soul within the grandeur of the Xu Family estate. If there was someone who always had their hand on his head, then it was his mother.
The memories about his mother were also the only warm memory in Xiao Qin's mind. He could never forget her smile even in those painful days, her efforts to make Xiao Qin's life better, her words of consolation to make his day better and put a smile on his face, and her hope to see Xiao Qin as a strong person someday in the future.
She hoped this because Xiao Qin still had the blood of the Xu Family running in his veins. In other words, he also inherited the Ancient Beasts Bloodline of the Xu Family.
Then, the darkest day of his life arrived. His mother fell gravely ill, her frail form bedridden, wracked with pain. Xiao Qin knew that only a precious medicinal pill could save her and this was something he could only find in the Xu Family.
His status was lower than a servant in the Xu Family and he knew no one would give him a medicinal pill or anything else that could save his mother. However, maybe, his father might give him one.
With hope in his heart, Xiao Qin approached his father. He was desperate to save his beloved mother. But what he heard from his father shattered his whole world.
Xiao Qin still could not forget those words even today. His father's words were like a dagger to his heart. His father's words were: "Those pills are not meant for the likes of you or your mother. Your mother was but a plaything to me, a momentary distraction that I used because I was bored. She doesn't deserve anything to save her. It is better if she dies."
Xiao Qin still remembered how heartbroken he was, at the same time, anger rose in his heart for the first time. However, in order to save his mother, he did not dare to cause trouble. Moreover, he was not strong, so he had no right to show his anger in front of someone like his father.
His pleas fell on deaf ears and he could do nothing but watch as his mother's life slipped away, consumed by the illness that could have been cured if his father or someone from the Xu Family had given him a healing pill or something like that.
The pain was unbearable, and Xiao Qin made a solemn vow as his mother took her last breath: he would leave the Xu Family, but one day, he would return. He would teach those who had tormented him a lesson they would never forget. And he will let his father regret this day, he will let his father... No, not 'father'. He will let Xu Muqi regret the choice of words that he used to describe his mother.
With a heart filled with anger and a thirst for revenge, Xiao Qin left the Xu Family, one of the overlord forces in Chaos, behind. He also decided to tarnish the surname "Xu". So, if he ever caused trouble or offended strong people, he decided to use the surname 'Xu' shamelessly to escape the danger. The Xu Family didn't give him the right to use the surname 'Xu', however, he was going to use this surname as he wished.
In his heart, he wanted the Xu Family to personally bestow him the right to use the Xu surname one day. However, when that day comes, he will throw this surname on those old bastards' faces and leave the Xu Family.
Years passed, and Xiao Qin honed his combat skills and forged alliances. He knew that to fulfill his vow, he needed strength, both physical and political.
He wandered the lands, learning from wise masters and gaining recognition as a powerful warrior. He trained tirelessly, sharpening his skills to perfection.
Along the way, he met several people who had also suffered at the hands of the Xu Family's arrogance. They pledged their loyalty to him, forming a loyal group of followers.
That day also came when Xiao Qin finally awakened the Bloodline of the Xu Family, the Ancient Beasts Bloodline.
In just a few hundred years, news of Xiao Qin's exploits reached the ears of those who had once scorned him. Whispers of the young warrior who carried the name "Xu" in defiance spread like wildfire.
However, till then, those people had already forgotten about Xiao Qin's existence. In their eyes, Xiao Qin must have died somewhere after leaving the Xu Family.
Xiao Qin's quest for justice consumed him. He yearned to confront those who had brought suffering to his family, especially his father, who had callously humiliated his mother.
He knew that the time for revenge would arrive very soon, and he prepared himself both mentally and physically. The flame of vengeance burned brighter with each passing day.
His return to the Xu Family estate was inevitable. He had become a force to be reckoned with, and the Xu Family's arrogance had made them blind to the storm gathering on the horizon.
But revenge was not his only motivation. Xiao Qin also carried a sense of justice, a desire to protect those who suffered under the oppression of powerful families like the Xu's.
The small group he formed had now already become big enough to dominate an entire Land. Xiao Qin trained everyone and named his group "The Wandering Swords".
One day, he met a strange woman and took her as his master. That woman had one bizarre hobby, and that was to explore the dangerous and forbidden grounds of each Land she visited.
In order to accompany his master and learn from her, he gave the seat of the head of the Wandering Swords to his trusted brother. And then, with his master, he left the Land of Ancient Beasts where the Xu Family was located for the first time.
After several thousand years, his master died in a forbidden ground. However, Xiao Qin did not return. He wanted to fulfill his master's wish to visit the forbidden grounds of all the Lands that exist in Chaos.
During this period, he also continued to become stronger and stronger. As of today, he was already a Nine Vast Origin Sea Realm warrior, just a single step away from becoming an Origin Fusion Sovereign Realm warrior.
Today, he crossed paths with Ye Xiao. For some reason, he had a very strange feeling. And for the first time, he had these feelings. He felt like Ye Xiao could help him take that step, Ye Xiao could help him become an Origin Fusion Sovereign.
Why did he have this kind of feeling?
It is because he felt the same kind of oppression from Ye Xiao he used to feel from his father back in the Xu Family. Although it has already been hundreds of thousands of years, he could never forget those days.
At the same time, he guessed that Ye Xiao might also be from one of the Overlord Forces. If that is the case, why not bring Ye Xiao to his side? This way, he could have a strong support.
And so, he immediately made the decision not to leave the Secret Realm and stay behind.
