The special ability inherited by the Ying clan is called "Emperor". This ability can be borrowed from the corresponding abilities derived from several representative emperors in the history of the Central Plains.
Thousands of years ago in China, there was an ancient dynasty called "Shang." Legend has it that "a black bird descended from heaven and gave birth to Shang." One of the abilities of the [Emperor] is derived from the royal family of the Shang dynasty, namely, the ability to control the black bird.
The Black Bird is said to be either a phoenix or a swallow, but in the manifestation of the Ying clan's supernatural abilities, it is a black firebird resembling a phoenix. This is the black bird that Chang Le and Fu Jiu encountered twice.
But if the black bird was summoned by the [Emperor]'s superpower, then things become extremely strange.
How could Hades, the leader of the god-making faction, possess the same superpowers as the Emperor?
Gu Yujing couldn't understand it either. If he hadn't seen the Ying family's black bird with his own eyes, he wouldn't have been able to be completely certain, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to believe that the elders of the God-Making Sect and the Ying family could be related.
“Since the Qin family made its move, the Ying family has remained silent, almost handing over the management of the council entirely to the Qin family,” Gu Yujing said. “Ying Miao and other elders of the Ying family are all in Hua’an City and have never left. In the past four generations, no core disciples of the Ying family have gone missing.”
Fu Jiu said, "Ying Huaixia isn't here."
Only these people can use the [Emperor] to summon the Black Bird.
"Strange," Gu Yujing said, puzzled. "Could there be other abilities that can summon or simulate the Xuan Bird?"
This question will be put aside for now, and everyone will take care of their own things.
...
4:00 AM on April 6th.
Led by the Dragon Soul Army of the Dragon Faction and the Wolf Army of the Wolf Faction, all supporting forces launched a full-scale counterattack against the alien species in the border area of the Old Ruins, and successfully forced the alien species of the Northern Realm Old Ruins back into the depths of the wasteland.
This super-level alien swarm was resolved in less than 24 hours, and the casualties were far less than initially estimated on the network. It was considered by the international community to be a miracle of unity between China and the Central Plains.
At this point, the international and Sino-Turkish situations were completely reversed.
In the Central Plains, the Qin family and its main affiliated forces were thoroughly investigated by the region.
...
When Qin Xian woke up again, it was already the end of the battle outside Yulou Pass. When he opened his eyes, he saw his mother lying next to him crying.
When he woke up, his mother cried and told him what had happened while he was unconscious.
Qin Xian felt as if struck by lightning.
His great-grandfather actually conspired with several clan elders to seize the Dragon Sect of the Ninth District and the Golden Medicine!
His great-grandfather, whom he had always respected and regarded as a great man, secretly colluded with the god-making faction and betrayed the Central Plains by selling secrets to the Meli Federation. He used them to set a trap for District Nine and incited his vassals to guide online public opinion, intending to obstruct support and bring District Nine to its death.
Treason! Cult! Abandoning compatriots and land!
One crime after another shattered Qin Xian's spirit.
He knew that his great-grandfather was unusually obsessed with "integration," and he also knew that his great-grandfather was not as humorous and witty as he showed to outsiders. He even sensed that his great-grandfather had some kind of connection with the deification faction.
However, the depth of Qin Shaoji's collusion with him, the ruthlessness of his methods against the Ninth District, and the intensity of his obsession with integration all far exceeded his imagination.
What was even more unexpected was that after his great-grandfather and other elders forcibly distanced themselves from him, they acted so impulsively and hastily, taking a desperate gamble. They even personally attacked and killed Chang Le!
Qin Xian's mind was so muddled that he could no longer think.
Just then, a strong smell of blood wafted over, and as he became alert, his mother suddenly fainted beside him. Then, a familiar figure emerged from the secret passageway leading out of the room.
"Great-grandfather!" Qin Xian almost rushed over.
"You...you're injured?"
After Qin Shaoji was injured in his failed assassination attempt, he was subsequently pursued by the Central Plains. His return to the Qin family despite the danger came at a considerable cost.
His hair, which once had some black, was now completely white. His eyes, which were usually dignified and bright, were now dull and lifeless.
"Xian'er, listen to me!" Qin Shaoji's internal injuries were quite severe, and his voice sounded low and indistinct.
Qin Xian immediately knelt down and looked up to listen carefully.
"The future of the Qin family is in your hands. You are the most outstanding descendant in the four generations of my Qin family. I know that your great-grandfather was too strict with you and you have some resentment, but you have grown up and can take on responsibilities. Only you can shoulder the responsibility of the Qin family."
This was the first time Qin Xian had been recognized by Qin Shaoji. Under normal circumstances, he would have been overjoyed, but at this moment, he couldn't smile at all.
"Xian'er, I'm sorry." Qin Shaoji sighed deeply, his aged eyes gazing at Qin Xian.
"What your great-grandfather left you is a mess. The Qin family will not disappear, but the future will be extremely difficult. Xian'er, your great-grandfather can only entrust everything to you. I hope you will not follow in my footsteps and that you will have a peaceful and smooth life."
"Also, no matter what they say, what they ask, or how they plan to treat us, just push everything onto me, Qin Ling, Qin Miao, and the others. You know nothing, remember that! You know nothing!"
"Great-grandfather," Qin Xianqiang said, suppressing a sob, "we...we'll think of something else, maybe there's still a chance..."
"It's gone, it won't happen again."
Qin Shaoji gave a self-deprecating chuckle, as if a breath of energy had been released from his chest.
"Chang Le plotted to force me to expose my identity, and the regional office seized the evidence; Gu Lianghan and his group allowed me to incite public opinion, wiping out the Qin family and its main affiliates; the cultists, they were never on my side, I was just a pawn; and..."
Qin Shaoji's eyes were filled with pain: "She...she lied to me too, she lied to me again! She doesn't love me at all, she just wants me and the Qin family to be destroyed! How cruel she is!"
