Ancient City, Fiery Peak.
In the inner hall of the Lihuo Sect.
Ling Xiao sat on the Dragon Throne in the main hall.
Below them were Qin Shi, Qin Shang, Su Ming, Zhou Qin, Lin Yu, and Xu Qiaoer.
Among them, Qin Shi, Qin Shang, and Xu Qiaoer stood on one side, while Lin Yu and the other two stood on the other side.
Qin Shi, Qin Shang, and the other two had just escaped death and felt as if they had been reborn.
He immediately glanced at Qin Shang and Xu Qiaoer. He clenched his teeth and said, "Great Sect Leader, thank you for lending a hand this time around. There is a matter that this disciple would like to request of you. I wonder if Sect Leader can take in my friend and my younger sister?" Qin Shi walked a few rounds happily before he suddenly took a step forward. He lowered his head and cupped his hands together in a sincere manner.
Hearing this, Ling Xiao was so angry that he puffed out his beard and glared. "Heh heh, you brat, I haven't even punished you and you're already talking about conditions with me?
How infuriating!
Do you know that Lin Yun has just come out of seclusion and his spiritual energy isn't stable? Otherwise, do you think that he would let you off so easily? "
Qin Shi came to a sudden realization.
Previously, he had been curious as to why Lin Yun would give up such a good opportunity.
If they had really fought back then, putting aside the fact that the Yunding Sect had an absolute advantage in terms of geographical location, the Yunding Sect would have been in the right.
"So that's the case. No wonder Lin Yun let me go so easily. It's because he just made a breakthrough and his spiritual energy isn't stable."
Thinking of this, Qin Shi secretly scratched his head in relief and laughed at Ling Xiao in embarrassment. "Hehe, this disciple was rash this time. I'll be more careful next time."
"You brat, I'm really pissed off by you. Do you know what the consequences would be if the two sects were to fight?"
Ling Xiao's fingers tapped on the throne with an even rhythm. He was so angered by Qin Shi that he laughed. He sighed bitterly and shook his head.
Qin Shi shuddered.
Although he didn't seem to care on the surface and pretended to be very calm, there was still lingering fear in his heart.
After what had happened to the Yunding Sect, he had realized that he was not strong enough and that he had been naive and reckless.
Just as Ling Xiao said, if the two sects fought, the consequences would be unthinkable.
Yunding Sect, Lihuo Sect, and Gucheng Sect.
If the two sides fought, the citizens of the entire ancient city would be affected, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that the entire city would be destroyed.
When masters in the Spirit Breaking State fought, hundreds of miles of barren land could be seen in the blink of an eye. This was not just a rumor.
"Sect Leader, please punish me."
After hesitating for a moment, Qin Shi put away his mischievous look and said.
"I really want to punish you!"
Ling Xiao rolled his eyes, but his gaze was slightly awkward as he looked at Lin Yu. In the end, he shook his head helplessly and said, "Forget it. Since it's your first offense, I'll let it go this time. In a while, bring your little sister and your friend to find Cui Yunhai and ask for the Li Fire Token."
Hearing this, Qin Shi was overjoyed. "Sect Leader, you agree?"
Ling Xiao clasped his hands behind his back, pursed his lips, and looked at Lin Yu.
He was full of helplessness. How could he not agree?
This was a great deity. If he did not agree to Qin Shi's request, Lin Yu would step forward. Instead of letting Lin Yu speak, he might as well do him a favor.
"Sect Leader, you're too kind."
With a bright smile, Qin Shi grabbed Qin Shang's and Xu Qiaoer's hands and said, "Did you see that?
I'm a purple rank disciple. Letting you enter Lihuo Sect is not a small matter.
You don't have to be touched. Just treat me to a good meal. "
Qin Shang and Xu Qiaoer were originally serious, but after being amused by Qin Shi, they relaxed a little.
The two of them successfully entered Lihuo Sect and were very happy.
Of course, Qin Shi also knew that Lin Yu played a decisive role in this.
He knew very well that even if he was a purple rank disciple of Lihuo Sect, Ling Xiao would not have personally gone to Yunding Sect to save him. Ling Xiao's appearance was definitely related to Lin Yu.
But towards Lin Yu, Qin Shi never thanked him.
Because he felt that doing so would make him seem distant. He only silently noted it down and hoped that one day in the future, he would be able to do something for Lin Yu.
Looking at their cheering faces, Ling Xiao waved his hand and coughed a few times to attract the attention of Qin Shi and the rest. He immediately said, "Don't be too happy yet. Although you were lucky to escape this time, the Blazing Sky Mystery Land in half a month's time is more important."
"Blazing Sky Mystery Land?"
Qin Shi rolled his eyes and pondered.
He was full of curiosity and confusion about this mystery land. He could not help but ask, "Sect Leader, what kind of place is this Blazing Sky Mystery Land?"
Ling Xiao was unprecedentedly serious when he mentioned the Blazing Sky Mystery Land.
Think about it. How could a place that made him, a sect leader, so serious be a simple place?
He hesitated and said, "Blazing Sky Mystery Land is on the Blazing Sky Mountain five hundred miles away from the ancient city. This mystery land is passed down from the ancient times and is filled with rare treasures."
"Ancient Mystery Land?"
This was the second ancient mystery land that Qin Shi knew of.
However, from the looks of it, this Blazing Sky Mystery Land was far from what the mystery land in the Desolate Town could compare to.
"Yes. Outside the Blazing Sky Mountain, there is a raging fire burning all year round. The raging fire is ferocious and it is filled with vast spiritual power. It has not been extinguished for hundreds of years. Even I do not dare to get close to it easily." Ling Xiao revealed a fearful expression when he mentioned the raging fire.
Qin Shi's heart tightened. Even someone with Ling Xiao's strength does not dare to get close to the raging fire easily?
Just how terrifying was that?
Thinking about that, he scratched his head in confusion and asked, "Since there is such a ferocious raging fire, how do we enter the Blazing Sky Mystery Land?"
Hearing that, Ling Xiao nodded and looked at Qin Shi with admiration.
Qin Shi was not afraid because of the terrifying raging fire. Instead, he grasped the main point. This made him conclude that Qin Shi was not an ordinary person. "Although the Blazing Sky Mystery Land is surrounded by raging fire, every three years, the Yin energy of heaven and earth will gather and the Yang energy will decline. The raging fire will become unprecedentedly weak."
"Therefore, we will seize this opportunity. The various elders and I will work together with the Sect Leader and Elders of the Yunding Sect to open up a passage in the raging fire after gathering spiritual power.
The passage will last for half a month. The disciples of the two sects will enter to train and search for treasures. "
Speaking up to this point, Ling Xiao paused and smiled, "Speaking of which, the Blazing Mist Incantation that you cultivate was also found in the Blazing Sky Mystery Land back then."
Qin Shi nodded. He knew about that.
"Of course, the two sects have signed an agreement regarding the Blazing Sky Mystery Land. During the process of the Blazing Sky Mystery Land, the disciples of the two sects are allowed to kill each other." Speaking up to this point, Ling Xiao became solemn and said, "So, you must be extremely careful."
"What?"
"No wonder that old geezer Lin Yun and Chu Yuanba told me to wait in the Blazing Sky Mystery Land."
Suddenly, Qin Shi thought in his heart. Suddenly, the corners of his lips curled up strangely. He recalled Chu Yuanba's arrogant face in the Cloud Cauldron Sect. He sneered, "Can we fight?
That's what I want. "
A purged killing intent swept past them.
Looking at Qin Shi's disdainful expression, Ling Xiao was a little worried, "Don't let your guard down. The Three Minor Overlord of the Yunding Sect isn't just bragging. Every single one of them is a dragon or phoenix in the human world. In terms of strength, even the eight purple rank disciples of my sect can only admit defeat."
"Sect Leader, don't worry. I know what I'm doing!"
The Three Minor Overlord's strength was indeed shocking. Even Chu Yuanba, who was ranked third, wasn't an opponent for Qin Shi.
One could imagine what kind of existences the second and first were.
But wasn't there still half a month?
Qin Shi wouldn't give up until the last moment.
Moreover, he wasn't alone. He still had his brothers.
Thinking up to this point, he turned his head and swept his gaze across Qin Shang, Xu Qiaoer, Zhou Qin, Qin Shang and the others. Finally, his gaze stopped on Lin Yu and he revealed a look of affection. He struck a very pretentious pose and said, "When brothers are united, their sharpness can cut through metal!"
"Pfft!
Who's your brother?
How about my two sisters? "
Unexpectedly, before Qin Shi had the chance to act pretentious, Zhou Qin stepped forward gently and revealed a sweet and playful smile. She held Xu Qiaoer's arm and said, "Qiao 'er, don't you think so?
This guy is really shameless! "
Xu Qiaoer was a cold person and wasn't good with words.
Qin Shi originally thought that Zhou Qin would suffer a big loss this time. He secretly chuckled in his heart, "Hmph, you want to ruin me?
Zhou Qin, Zhou Qin, you really don't understand Qiao 'er at all.
Just wait and see how she's going to piss you off. "
That was what he thought, but what happened next made his mouth drop open in shock. His face was full of disbelief.
He saw that Xu Qiaoer had given Zhou Qin enough face. Although she still had a straight face without a smile, she pretended to think about it and finally nodded seriously, saying, "Indeed, Brother Stone is really shameless!"
"…"
Qin Shi's face contorted and his mouth twitched. He said, "Damn, is she really my sister?"
Lin Yu and Su Ming, the two bad friends, had long since laughed heartily at the side.
This made Qin Shi secretly curse his carelessness in making friends. The originally solemn hall suddenly became lively.
Even Ling Xiao, who had been sitting on the Dragon Throne, shook his head slightly and smiled.
"Haha, you're really a few fearless fellows. Since you're so confident, then I'll look forward to your results in half a month. Don't disappoint me." Ling Xiao stroked his beard and waved his sleeves, signaling for them to leave.
After leaving the hall, the few of them walked together.
They first accompanied Qin Shang and Xu Qiaoer to find Cui Yunhai to get the Li Fire Token.
After getting the two white tokens, the two of them were officially Lihuo Sect's Inner Sect disciples.
Qin Shi was sincerely happy about this. After all, the two of them had followed him here. One was his sister, and the other was his brother. Now that the two of them had found a home, he congratulated them. "Qiao'er, Brother Shang, congratulations."
As the younger sister, Xu Qiaoer did not have much of a reaction.
However, Qin Shang was different. He was not valued in Yunding Sect. Now that Qin Shi had introduced him to Lihuo Sect, it was equivalent to giving him a chance to be reborn.
He would remember this kindness in his heart. "This is all thanks to you, Stone. In the future, if there's anything you need me to do, as long as you say the word, I'll climb a mountain of swords and dive into a sea of flames. I won't hesitate."
It was not easy to have such a friendship.
Without waiting for Qin Shi to speak, Lin Yu suddenly rushed forward with a smirk on his face. It was obvious that he was up to no good. He pulled Qin Shang and whispered, "Brother Shang, I heard from Qin Shi that you're an expert in picking up girls?
From mature ladies to lolis, tomboys, and cute girls, you know all of them?
Really?
You have to teach me! "
"No problem, I'll definitely learn!"
Qin Shang patted his chest and said confidently.
"That's great …" Lin Yu's eyes lit up, but before he could say anything else, Zhou Qin's hand had already crawled to his ear. She used all her strength to do a 720-degree turn and forcefully spun him around a few times on the ground. He was so frightened that he hurriedly cried out, "Goddess, spare me, spare me!"
The few of them saw this scene and burst into laughter.
After the incident with the Zhou Family, the relationship between Lin Yu and Zhou Qin had undergone a subtle change.
Qin Shi could not help but touch his ear. He felt pity for Lin Yu and whispered, "Sigh, since ancient times, the land of gentleness is the grave of a hero. This saying is really praiseworthy.
It seems that in the future, Xiao Yu's days will be spent struggling in the pain of happiness! "
The few of them laughed and prepared to leave the Elder's Courtyard.
However, at this time, Cui Yunhai patted Qin Shi and said, "Little guy, shouldn't you fulfill your promise to me?"
