Basically, up to this point, the Nine-Fingers Daoist had recounted all of Qin Fang's family secrets, which also gave Qin Fang a profound sense of unfamiliarity with the family he belonged to, as if it had nothing to do with him at all.

However, judging by the expression of the Nine-Fingers Daoist, it was obviously the truth... He had no reason to deceive Qin Fang.

As for why Qin Fang knew nothing about this family, it can only be said to be greatly related to his leaving his father from an early age. After all, his mother, Qin Qing, was just an ordinary woman, who knew nothing about Martial Arts and even her understanding of the Qin Family was limited to Qin Tiannan alone.

At most, she only knew about the relationship between the Qin Family and the Tang and Chu families…

As for more inside stories, they were truly unknown, and naturally impossible for Qin Fang to know… Although Qin Tiannan had returned, the father and son hadn't really sat down for a good chat, so these matters were never brought up.

"But, after talking for so long... what about my grandfather's injury?"

At this point, Qin Fang snapped back from his shock and asked with some curiosity.

All they talked about were the matters of the Qin Family, seemingly unrelated to his grandfather Qin Siyuan's severe injury at all…

"Actually, your grandfather's injury is greatly related to what I mentioned… It involves the descendants of that fourth generation master of the Demon Sect!"

Unconcerned with Qin Fang's reaction, the Nine-Fingers Daoist explained in detail, "The fourth generation master of the Demon Sect was called Ding Bu'er, an unparalleled demon sovereign whose word was law. It was he who nearly severed the Qin Family's bloodline... However, while the Qin Family wasn't entirely exterminated, they became mortal enemies with the Ding Family!"

"Senior, do you mean… the ones who hurt my grandfather were from the Ding Family?"

Upon hearing the Nine-Fingers Daoist's words, Qin Fang realized that the entire incident actually involved a pair of mortal enemies within the Martial World… A feud that had started hundreds of years ago and continued to this day.

"Yes, it was indeed people from the Ding Family…"

The Nine-Fingers Daoist gave a definitive answer, "Back then, although the Qin Family was divided, the descendants of the Qin Family shared the family's century-old reserves, each taking a portion of the goods, including the Martial Arts manuscripts accumulated over hundreds of years by the Qin Family… Naturally, the entire Qin Family thus had many branches!"

"Among these branches, some completely became ordinary people, vanishing entirely from the Martial World, while some Qin Family disciples continued their Martial Arts training. Although they did not know how to activate the strength of the Blood Martial Secret Tome, they had quite a few Martial Arts manuscripts and some resources in their possession, enabling some to cultivate substantial strength…"

Upon hearing this, Qin Fang nodded, acknowledging that a particularly good Martial Arts manuscript could create a small Martial Arts clan, which might ultimately fade away but still had its period of prosperity.

The Qin Family's long-standing accumulation, and the Martial Arts manuscripts they collected, were undoubtedly not simple, so it was entirely normal that a few capable experts emerged might emerge… With additional resource allocation, numerous Grandmaster-level or even Great Grandmaster-level experts could arise.

This is a profound background that small families cannot compare to… After all, the Blood Martial Secret Tome was uniquely established by the Ancestor of the Qin Family. He himself mastered several extremely powerful divine skills of the Demon Sect, coupled with the collected manuscripts from the Martial World, which served as an incredible advantage.

"However, the descendants of the Ding Family soon targeted the Qin Family members… Because of the Blood Martial Secret Tome, even without fully activating its power, the bloodline still contained a very formidable force, which the experts of the Ding Family could extract using secret techniques for themselves! Though the extracted power was vastly inferior to the true power of the Blood Martial Secret Tome, accumulating a large quantity was still extremely terrifying…"

"And the result was… the Ding Family, with its richer resources and a family full of experts, launched a comprehensive assault against the Qin Family's members in the outside world… This time, they virtually exterminated all the Martial Arts-trained members!"

At this point, even the Nine-Fingers Daoist seemed to have some lingering fear, which made Qin Fang find it a bit odd. However, he didn't say much and quietly listened to the Daoist's narration.

"Your grandfather's branch, because the ancestors no longer practiced Martial Arts, became nearly indistinguishable from ordinary people, which ironically allowed them to escape this catastrophe and for the Qin Family's bloodline to survive…"

Seeing Qin Fang's strange expression, the Nine-Fingers Daoist also spoke mildly, explaining the reason for Qin Fang's branch surviving.

"However, starting from your grandfather's grandfather's generation, the Qin Family began to reactivate the power of the Blood Martial Secret Tome, gradually entering the Martial World, and a few even became somewhat famous… But upon hearing of the bloody upheaval in the Martial World, they decisively went into seclusion! It remained peaceful for several decades until your grandfather grew up, coincidentally during a time of national calamity and familial hardship, which naturally led the Qin Family out of hiding, gradually revealing their prominence…"

The Nine-Fingers Daoist reached the main point at last, and Qin Fang became more focused.

"Your grandfather's cultivation was extraordinarily profound, and he grew stronger and stronger through continuous slaughter… At the same time, he gained considerable renown among Martial Artists, but he changed his name, which kept him from being too conspicuous."

"However, a tall tree catches the wind... Especially when the strength of the Blood Martial Secret Tome is unleashed, it will always have some peculiarities. If noticed by those with intent, it becomes a terrifying matter... Back then, your grandfather and I were life-and-death brothers, but I did something stupid..."

At this point, the Nine-Fingers Daoist paused, glanced at Qin Fang, and continued, "It was precisely because of this foolish act that I harmed your grandfather..."

"I was captured by the Ding Family..."

The Nine-Fingers Daoist looked at Qin Fang with a face full of shame and said.

"Uh..."

Qin Fang was stunned, looking at this Daoist with some puzzlement.

Thinking back, it was all decades ago. At that time, the Nine-Fingers Daoist surely did not have the strength he has today, combined with youthful vigor, causing some mishaps was understandable. Qin Fang himself had stirred up quite a bit of trouble, offending countless people.

"The Ding Family somehow learned that your grandfather was indeed a member of the Qin Family and had already activated the strength of the Blood Martial Secret Tome. They dispatched numerous experts to capture your grandfather... and I was merely their bait!"

Recalling this matter, the Nine-Fingers Daoist's expression became quite unsightly, filled with regret, shame, and self-blame in his eyes and demeanor, appearing very unwilling to mention this past event. However, perhaps because he had bottled this up in his heart for too long, upon seeing Qin Fang, he couldn't help but pour it out.

"Your grandfather was a man who valued relationships, integrity, and righteousness. Upon seeing me captured by the Ding Family, he single-handedly and sword in hand, dared to storm the Blood Demon Sect's main altar..."

At this point, the Nine-Fingers Daoist's expression completely changed, becoming deeper, with genuine reverence emanating from his eyes.

"Hiss~~~"

Hearing this, Qin Fang, as a listener, couldn't help but gasp, "Storming the Blood Demon Sect's main altar alone..."

If it weren't for the Nine-Fingers Daoist's detailed recounting, Qin Fang would never have believed it to be true.

The Blood Demon Sect is one of the top-ranking sects among the Six Great Sects of the Demon Gate. Aside from the Sky Demon Sect being on par with it, the other four sects are weaker... And as the main altar of the Blood Demon Sect, it is undoubtedly a heavily guarded, expert-filled den of demons!

Yet, his grandfather, Qin Siyuan, dared to single-handedly and sword in hand storm the Blood Demon Sect's main altar... This boldness is absolutely unparalleled, even several decades later. Hearing this, Qin Fang still feels deep admiration.

"Indeed, storming the Blood Demon Sect's main altar..."

The Nine-Fingers Daoist confirmed, "Moreover, starting from the foot of the mountain of the Blood Demon Sect's main altar, he killed his way up, slaying more than three hundred disciples of the Blood Demon Sect in total, including six Great Grandmaster-level experts and over thirty Grandmaster-level experts! And severely wounding the Blood Demon Sect's left and right protector elders..."

"Damn! That's incredible..."

Hearing these numbers, Qin Fang truly feels that his grandfather, whom he never had the chance to meet, was an exceedingly frightening and formidable man. This courage and cultivation are certainly rare in the world.

If Qin Fang guessed correctly, his grandfather Qin Siyuan's cultivation at that time would likely have already reached the Great Grandmaster Level Peak, or even the Half-Step Supreme Realm...

"Alas, it's a pity… I was the one who burdened brother Siyuan!"

The Nine-Fingers Daoist sighed lightly and said, "Your grandfather almost toppled the Blood Demon Sect's main altar, rescuing me from the heavily guarded prison... But it also provoked the fury of the Six Sects of the Demon Gate, who dispatched a host of experts in pursuit!"

"Sigh..."

Qin Fang shook his head. Although the Six Great Sects of the Demon Gate engage in fierce internal conflicts, whenever a matter threatens them, they will set aside old grudges and cooperate sincerely... Qin Fang's grandfather, Qin Siyuan, shaking up the Blood Demon Sect was equivalent to giving the Demon Gate a harsh slap, inevitably inviting their backlash!

"Faced with the encirclement of the Six Great Sects of the Demon Gate, your grandfather fought alone, killing nearly half of the Demon Gate's experts... In the end, he even wielded the most fearsome forbidden technique in the Qin Family's Blood Martial Secret Tome, severely wounding three Paramount Realm Experts of the Demon Sect! That's how he barely managed to escape..."

Such an achievement is truly astounding, and Qin Fang listened with boiling blood, his mind simulating that earth-shattering battle from back then. (To be continued.
