Qin Shi understood this, but what Qin Shi couldn't understand was why the Puppet Group wanted to start a war between the Desolate and Smelting Regions.
"Don't tell me you've forgotten which of the eight great vicious weapons are still around in the eight regions?"
"Hm?"
Qin Shi frowned fiercely, as though he was enlightened by an evil spirit. He exclaimed, "You mean the virtuous Jadeite Graceful Dance?"
"That's right."
The demon nodded. "If I'm not wrong, the Puppet Group wants to use the war between the two regions to launch a sneak attack on the Desolate Region like they did to the Sword Sect and Smelting Regions. They want to get the Emerald Dance in one go."
Hearing this, Qin Shi was terrified.
This was a conspiracy that could change the structure of the Human World.
He clenched his fists. "Those bastards."
"Kid, you still have the mood to scold them?
If I remember correctly, there were records in the Chaotic Regions. The eight great lethal weapons were all stolen by the Puppet Group thousands of years ago. Only the spirit of the Sword Sect, the Yakushi of the Chaotic Regions, and the Emerald Dance of the Desolate Region were spared. Now that the spirit of the Sword Sect is in their hands, if they get the Emerald Dance too, the entire Puppet Group will point their spear at you. "
"I understand. But that's also why we can't let them get what they want." Qin Shi nodded.
"Hm. Fortunately, this old man has a strong backbone. He's endured for eight years. I don't think he'll give in so easily."
Evidently, Hu Ya had lost his confidence after dealing with the Old City Lord for so long. He waved his hand disappointedly and said to the two people next to him, "Alright, old rules. Be careful and don't kill him. Otherwise, I'll hold you responsible."
Then, Hu Ya was about to leave when he suddenly remembered Qin Shi. He said, "Qin Xuan, stay here and help me today. If the organization has any arrangements, you can go."
Hu Ya paused and looked at Qin Shi, who was only at the Heaven's Boundary Realm. She shook her head. "But with your strength, I don't think the organization will give you any big missions. Since you've been transferred here, focus on helping me. Maybe I'll give you some room to grow in the future."
Qin Shi acted very well. His eyes narrowed into slits as he smiled and said, "Yes, Big Brother. Thank you for your guidance."
"Alright, do your best." Hu Ya left.
Hu Ya left. It was obvious that the two ferocious demons hated this job. They grumbled, "Damn it, it's been eight years, and we still have to worry about this old man's life every day. When will this end?"
"Who knows?
Who asked this old man to be so stubborn? I really f * cking admire him. If it weren't for Brother Hu, I would have killed him in one go. "
"Alright, cut the crap. Hurry up."
Both of them ignored Qin Shi. Both of them condensed their murderous auras and turned them into ferocious whips that lashed at the Old City Lord.
After a few more rounds, the old city lord's aura was extremely weak.
"Almost there, almost there."
"Don't worry, I'll inject some more life force into him." One of the ferocious beasts formed a hand seal and forcefully pulled the old city lord's aura back.
"Continue!" The two said again.
Watching from behind, Qin Shi's eyes were spitting fire. If it weren't for the demons stopping him, he would have rushed up a few times and crushed the two ferocious demons into pieces.
"These bastards!" Qin Shi's eyes were red as he roared in his heart.
"Kid, this old man has persisted for eight years. If you suddenly go up, you'll only destroy all his persistence." The demon said.
Hearing this, Qin Shi bit his lips so hard that they bled. He understood all of this. He could only close his eyes and try to calm himself down.
Suddenly, he calmly stepped forward and said, "Big brothers, I'm sorry to bother you with such small matters. I'm new here today, so you can leave this kind of hard work to me in the future. If you have the time, why don't you go drink some wine and take an afternoon nap?"
Then, Qin Shi took out a few upper-grade mysterious crystals from his bosom.
High-grade Mysterious Crystals were so precious that even the people of Group Ma were envious of them.
The two prison heads were stunned. They looked at each other and smiled in satisfaction. "Hehe, you're not bad, kid. I thought you were another country bumpkin. You don't have any foresight at all. Not bad, not bad."
"Hehe, big brothers, what are you talking about? I'm new here and don't really understand. In the future, I hope you can put in a few good words for me in front of Big Brother Hu Ya," Qin Shi said politely.
"Alright, you don't have to worry about that."
The two of them laughed out loud. After which, they withdrew their evil auras and immediately gave Qin Shi a few reminders before leaving this dark and cold prison cell together.
After the two ferocious demons left, Qin Shi heaved a sigh of relief. He hurriedly walked up to the old City Lord and squinted his eyes. After a moment of silence, he said, "City Lord Mou."
City Lord Mou looked at Qin Shi mockingly and laughed coldly. "Hehe, kid, you're new here, right?
What do you want to say?
Are you on the same side as them?
I advise you to forget about it. They've been pestering me for half a year and I still haven't lowered my head. Do you think I'll compromise with you?
I'm a man of the Refinement Region when I'm alive and a ghost of the Refinement Region when I'm dead. In this life, either you kill me or I won't betray the Refinement Region. "
Hearing this, Qin Shi felt deep respect for City Lord Mou. After eight years of suffering, he could still be so resolute. It's rare. He's not an ordinary person. He thought to himself, "No wonder Lingsha had such a high evaluation of him. People like him always emit a strong sense of righteousness."
"City Lord Mou, you've misunderstood. I'm not here to ask you to betray the Refinement Region," said Qin Shi.
"Not to ask me to betray the Refinement Region?" City Lord Mou was startled. He asked strangely, "Then why are you here?"
"City Lord Mou, I'm not a ferocious demon from Group Ma. I admire your courage and your character. I came here to break the Dream Control Technique of the You Court."
"You're not from Group Ma?" City Lord Mou was slightly surprised.
Qin Shi nodded, "Yes, I hate Group Ma to the bone just like you."
City Lord Mou was startled. Then, he suddenly sneered, "Brat, don't try to trick me. This is definitely another trick you're playing. I won't be tricked by you. It's impossible for me to betray the Refinement Region."
Qin Shi couldn't help but feel helpless. However, he understood that he couldn't blame this old City Lord. It would be strange if he believed him so easily. He said, "Old City Lord, believe me. I'm telling the truth. Zi Lingsha from the Refinement Region also came with me. You've met her before. Do you still remember her?"
Qin Shi tried to use Zi Lingsha to gain the old City Lord's trust.
Unexpectedly, it backfired. City Lord Mou's eyes flashed with killing intent, "You bastards, you won't even let a little girl go?"
Suddenly, City Lord Mou roared, "Group Ma, you bastards. Do you think I'll compromise just like that?
Let me tell you, it's impossible! "
City Lord Mou's voice was extremely loud. The most hateful thing was that it was mixed with spirit energy. This caused Qin Shi's eyes to turn cold. He rushed forward and covered City Lord Mou's mouth, saying, "City Lord Mou, if you do this, not only will you be destroyed, you will also destroy the entire You Court!"
Unexpectedly, Qin Shi's action caused City Lord Mou to calm down. He looked at Qin Shi with a strange expression, "Brat, are you really not a member of Group Ma?"
Qin Shi was startled. Only now did he notice that although City Lord Mou's voice was mixed with spirit energy, it stopped at the entrance of the cell. He thought to himself, 'So he was testing me on purpose?
What a smart old fellow. '
Qin Shi nodded, "Yes."
"Brat, are you serious?"
"Of course!"
"Great, this is great. After eight whole years, I've finally waited for this day."
City Lord Mou's eyes became moist. Then, as if he had gone crazy, he roared at Qin Shi, "Kill me!
I beg you, kill me! "
Qin Shi was quite frightened by City Lord Mou's sudden appearance. He hurriedly took a step back and said to City Lord Mou, "Old City Lord, calm down. You can't die yet. There are millions of citizens of the You Court waiting for you."
"Killing me is the most responsible thing you can do to the You Court. Kill me and take my token. From now on, you will be the City Lord of the You Court. Release me."
"Believe me, I will definitely find a way to save you from here."
Qin Shi still refused. He said, "City Lord, I know that you have been wronged and humiliated these past eight years, but for the You Court, you must persevere. In the future, I will try my best to take over this place. I will slowly heal your injuries. Don't worry, you will definitely recover."
"If Group Ma finds out, your fate will be terrible."
Qin Shi suddenly smiled confidently. "Haha, don't worry. Even if they don't know, if I fall into Group Ma's hands, my fate will still be terrible."
City Lord Mou suddenly laughed maniacally. "Haha, hahaha, interesting. There's actually a kid like you in the Eight Regions. Not bad, not bad."
Qin Shi scratched his head and said, "City Lord Mou, I want to know more about Group Ma's underground base from you."
"What do you want to know? Ask away," said City Lord Mou.
"I want to know how powerful Group Ma's forces are here."
"The Dark Group's forces?"
City Lord Mou thought for a moment and said, "I can't say for sure, but I do know that there should be one at the Great Perfection Domain Realm, which is half a step into the World Realm, and three at the Great Perfection Domain Realm. Hu Ya, whom you were following just now, is one of the three at the Great Perfection Domain Realm. There are countless people who have reached the Great Perfection Domain Realm and Initial Perfection Domain Realm.
Hearing this, Qin Shi's black eyes turned slightly cold. "This force is really not small."
The only thing worth rejoicing about was that there was no World Realm. With the ability to fuse spiritual energy and soul power, a half step into the World Realm wouldn't be a threat to him.
Qin Shi clenched his fists tightly. His black eyes flashed with a cold light. "Hmph, Group Ma, it's time for me to give you a tooth for a tooth."
"Old City Lord, do you know of a way to break the You Court's Dream Control Technique?"
