In the dark world of the West, countless powerful individuals, including assassins, mercenaries, ancient martial artists, people with superpowers, and alien races, roam the darkness and form their own independent entity.
Among countless masters, three crowns stand out, open to the entire dark world. Only the most capable can claim them, and only those with unparalleled strength and the unified recognition of the dark world can obtain the name of the crown.
The three existing crowns are Odin, the god; Shura, the lord of the underworld; and the tyrant, the killer!
Odin, the most famous god, is the founder of the temple. No one knows how strong he is, but the twelve Olympian gods of the temple he created are famous throughout the world. It can be said that the temple has stood at the pinnacle of the dark world!
Asura, the Lord of the Underworld, is the leader of the Assassin Alliance. She created the Assassin Ranking, but she never occupies a spot on it, so her strength has always been a mystery. The only time she made a move in front of everyone was when the Assassin Alliance threatened the interests of other forces and was attacked by three S-class organizations. Asura intervened forcefully and wiped out the three S-class organizations, shocking the entire dark world!
The last one is the Tyrant Who Killed His Lord! He is a legendary figure, unlike the God Lord and the Underworld Lord, who are both recognized and revered by the dark world. The title of Tyrant Who Killed His Lord was earned by him through sheer force!
The Tyrant Killer, who burst onto the scene three years ago, has waged war across the underworld, his hands stained with the blood of countless powerful figures! He once slashed through the Assassin Rankings, killing the previous number one, and provoked the entire Assassin Alliance, yet he failed to draw out the Underworld Lord Shura. For unknown reasons, the Assassin Alliance did not pursue the matter. He once clashed with the Temple, defeating several main gods, which provoked all twelve main gods to launch a combined attack on him. However, they could only severely wound him; that battle was legendary, and the name of the Tyrant resounded throughout the dark world, earning him the title of King!
If we're talking about the most terrifying of the three crowns, it's undoubtedly the Tyrant! Offending him is like making an appointment with death!
And now, one of the three great crowns has actually appeared in the Dragon Kingdom!
It has to be said that the person who brought the head was already questioning his life. What kind of incredible luck did he have? How could he have offended the patriarch?
Without even thinking, he knew that the person in front of him was the tyrannical ruler who killed his master!
Why? Because Odin has been famous for too long, and his age is obviously beyond that of ordinary people. Also, the legendary ruler of the underworld, Shura, is a woman, while the one who killed the tyrant is a young man!
But the one who carried the head never expected that one of the Western world's overlords, the tyrannical killer, was actually a Chinese from the Dragon Kingdom!
That's not the point; the point is that I offended the other party!
It's cold!
Qin Ziling looked calmly at the person who had brought the head and said, "The Philosopher's Stone is not something that small fry like you can touch. Why do you have to be the first to stick your neck out?"
The man carrying the head immediately knelt down, his voice trembling as he said, "Respected Lord Killer, I had no intention of being your enemy. Please give me a chance to atone for my sins and let me serve you!"
"Serve me? Sorry, you who hurt me, you've lost that right!"
As the cold voice fell, the man who had decapitated the head suddenly widened his eyes, the life in them quickly fading away.
After dealing with the one who carried out the decapitation, Qin Ziling looked at Chu Qingcheng and found her staring at him with an incredulous expression.
Qin Ziling raised an eyebrow: "What's wrong?"
"You...you are the monarch?" Chu Qingcheng suddenly asked in shock.
Upon hearing this, Qin Ziling's body stiffened abruptly. He looked at Chu Qingcheng with suspicion: "Who are you?"
Upon seeing Qin Ziling's reaction, Chu Qingcheng's beautiful eyes trembled, and she immediately showed an excited expression. Just as she was about to speak, her face turned pale, and she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood before fainting.
Qin Ziling's expression changed, and he instantly appeared beside her, quickly supporting her.
Looking closely at the woman, Qin Ziling was somewhat puzzled. How did she know his former name?
However, she looks six or seven parts similar to Chu Xinyue, so she must be Chu Xinyue's older sister.
Thinking of this, Qin Ziling's doubts deepened, but he also knew he couldn't delay. The woman was seriously injured and needed to be taken to the hospital immediately.
Just then, the sound of a car came from outside.
A few hours later.
"Uncle Chu, is Xinyue alright?" Qin Ziling asked Chu Renxiong as he walked into the hospital ward.
The latter nodded: "It's nothing, I've woken up. I was just a little frightened. Your Aunt Lin is with me, so it's nothing serious."
Qin Ziling nodded, then said with some shame, "This time it was my oversight, and they took advantage of the situation."
Chu Renxiong waved his hand and said, "This is not your fault. Nobody expected them to be so crazy as to come directly to the Chu family. However, this also serves as a reminder to me that the Chu family's security system is still too poor."
Qin Ziling nodded and then said, "I'll set it up this time. After all, since it involves martial artists, ordinary security systems are not very useful."
Chu Renxiong nodded: "Then I'll leave it to you."
As things have unfolded, Chu Renxiong has become increasingly unable to understand Qin Ziling. This kid is nothing like the innate martial artist he claimed to be when they first met! He easily dealt with even an innate-level assassin, which means Qin Ziling's strength must be even greater!
In fact, he had this feeling a long time ago. He knew a little about Qin Ziling's hidden abilities, otherwise how could he be so familiar with the Philosopher's Stone? Moreover, he looked at such a mysterious thing as the Philosopher's Stone with great ease. He was obviously not an ordinary person!
However, he didn't ask any further questions. The stronger Qin Ziling was, the safer Chu Xinyue would be!
Qin Ziling didn't explain much. He was thinking about how to upgrade the security of the Chu family. He couldn't stay at the Chu family every day, so he should make more preparations. Maybe he should borrow a few bodyguards from the West?
Shaking his head, Qin Ziling looked at Chu Qingcheng lying on the bed and asked Chu Renxiong, "Uncle Chu, has Chu Qingcheng been abroad before?"
Chu Renxiong was taken aback, not understanding why he would ask such a question, but he still nodded: "That's right, I sent her abroad for training three years ago, and she took over the Chu Group after she came back. Why?"
"It's nothing, it's just that I think I've seen her before," Qin Ziling replied, his thoughts drifting away.
Three years ago, when he was still calling himself a monarch, that period was probably the darkest time of his life. In that darkness, a ray of light illuminated him for a moment, but that was all.
Upon hearing this, Chu Renxiong was immediately pleasantly surprised: "Really? You've met Qingcheng before? That's quite a coincidence!"
Qin Ziling nodded and then said, "Her injuries will require a period of rest, and she probably won't be able to manage the company during this time."
Chu Renxiong nodded: "I understand. I will step in when the time comes."
After chatting with Chu Renxiong for a while, the latter left, asking Qin Ziling to stay at the hospital and help take care of Chu Qingcheng.
