Without close kin by his side, or a knife held to his close kin's throat, Qin Hai's backbone is firm.
Qin Tian was indeed injured by the patriarch, and those few elders in the Profound Realm from the main lineage were indeed captured by them. They had seized the advantage, but all the Qin Family members on the island were watching. If they truly decided to kill the main lineage members, they would be branded with infamy—that's Qin Hai's worst-case scenario which he refused to retreat from.
The aim of this coup is to establish a Three-star Influence above East Lake; if they can avoid infamy, it's best to do so.
"See that? Don't let Qin Mo escape again. Assign people in the air to guard for twelve hours straight. In short, as tight as possible, the goal is to tell Qin Hai, once Qin Mo returns, he'll never leave again!" Qin Chuan laughed heartily twice, his gaze sweeping over the two clan leaders from branch families beside him.
"Qin Hai has a good son, hahaha."
