At that moment, the atmosphere was extremely grim. On one side, Li Shu and company were fuming with rage, while on the other side, the three thousand inner disciples were laughing smugly.
Tuoba Li was held in midair by the Fire Cloud Palace disciple's Fire Cloud Spiritual Qi. As he watched the ring of fire constantly shrink, Tuoba Li found it difficult to breathe.
Suddenly, everything fell silent. At that moment, no one noticed the blood dot on the Fire Cloud Palace disciple's glabella.
At that moment, the three thousand inner disciples sneered smugly. "Heh heh, Brother Yan, are you done?
If you are done, let go. Leave the rest of the puny trash to us. "
The three thousand inner disciples rubbed their hands as they approached greedily. Although the Fire Cloud Palace disciples had the highest standing here, they were no fools. In the Deep Sea Origin Pool, soul value was king. In their eyes, Li Shu and company were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. They did not wish for the Fire Cloud Palace disciples to monopolize them.
"These punks sure are poor. They only have soul tokens that haven't even reached level five. Now, we have soul tokens above level ten. Their combined strength isn't enough for us to reach level eleven."
"Heh heh, how much soul value do you expect from a bunch of small fries in the periphery?
They were only allowed to participate because of the benevolence of the three thousand inner disciples and the rules left behind by the seniors. They are just here to take a stroll and serve as prey for us. Do you really think the disciples in the periphery can last half a year here? "
"That's true."
The three thousand inner disciples were extremely contemptuous. From their point of view, the periphery Sea Palace disciples were like pigs reared in a pigsty.
However, a few disciples had already approached the Fire Cloud Palace disciples, but the Fire Cloud Palace disciples did not respond to them. A few disciples frowned and said unhappily, "Brother Yan, how is it? Say something?
Don't tell me you want to monopolize all the soul value?
Otherwise, we will split it thirty-seven. You each take three, and we will add up to seven?
That should work, right? "
…
The Fire Cloud Palace disciples still did not respond. The disciple's expression turned sullen. Although the Sea Palace he was in was inferior to Fire Cloud Palace, it was not much different. It was just that Yan was stronger than him. He clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth, "Forty-six, no, no, fifty-fifty. Fifty-fifty should do, right?"
Moments later, the disciple's expression turned livid. "Yanxu, don't go overboard. Fifty-fifty is already the limit. Do you really think your Fire Cloud Palace can do whatever you want?
We follow you because we usually have a good relationship, but if you act like this, I think we should just disband! "
"Say something, are you a mute?"
A few disciples raged. If they joined forces, Yan Xu might not even be a match for them.
A disciple came from behind and pushed Yan Xu forcefully.
Bang!
Unexpectedly, Yan Xu's body suddenly fell forward like a rotten piece of wood. After he hit the ground hard, a layer of dust rose up. Everyone was shocked. One of them took a step back. He looked carefully and realized that Yan Xu was no longer breathing. He said in shock, "Dead, dead?
Yan Xu is dead? "
"What?
Yan Xu is dead? "Yan Xu's death made the remaining three thousand disciples panic.
"How is this possible?
Could it be that lad? "Everyone raised their heads and looked at Tuoba Li, who had also fainted.
"Impossible, this lad is only at the initial success stage of the Domain Realm. He is the weakest among them!
He should not be able to get close to Yan Xu! "
"Who is that?"
"Hehe, the inner three thousand, is that all you have?"
Suddenly, a gust of wind swept through the forest. A hearty chuckle swept across like thunder, hitting everyone's eardrums like a huge drum.
When they heard that voice, the disciples of the inner three thousand were shocked.
"Who, who is it?"
"Hehe, you don't need to know who I am. But if you are still here in three breaths, he will be a warning to you."
That voice sounded again. At this moment, Li Shu and the others were ecstatic. "It's the Palace Lord!"
Only then did the nervous expressions of Li Shu and the others dissipate.
However, the disciples of the inner three thousand looked gloomy. At this moment, a disciple said coldly, "Hehe, I don't care who you are, but don't try to play tricks in front of me. How can an outer disciple kill Yan Xu?
You must have used some shameful and despicable method, but I believe that you can only use this method once!
Are you trying to scare me?
You are still inexperienced. "
Bang!
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning pierced through the forest. The disciple who spoke suddenly froze on the spot, and a bloody dot appeared on his glabella.
When that disciple died tragically, the disciples of the inner three thousand were shocked. They knew that they had offended someone they should not have offended.
"Damn it!
How can there be such a strong person in the outer three thousand?
Could it be a disciple of the Ten Directions Palace? "
"Impossible, we have long established a relationship with the Ten Directions Palace!"
"Could it be that person?"
At this moment, a disciple suddenly came to his senses. Recalling Tuoba Li's words, he swallowed hard as if he had seen a ghost.
"You mean, Qin Shi?
The Qin Palace Lord who suddenly rose to prominence recently? "
At this moment, a few people's faces turned gloomy. One of them turned livid. The name Qin Shi had long spread in the inner three thousand. How could a person who dared to kill a Fire Cloud Palace Elder and severely injure Qing Yu be an ordinary person?
At the very least, they could not do it. At this moment, the three thousand disciples finally realized the danger. One of them howled like a madman, turned around, and fled out of the forest.
Bang!
But suddenly, there was a loud bang. Before the disciple could escape a thousand meters, the ground suddenly cracked open, and a golden barrier of light rose from the ravine into the sky. It formed a golden barrier with a radius of a thousand meters in the forest. The disciple slammed into the barrier, and instantly, his sea of consciousness trembled, as though his soul was being crushed. He was immediately sent flying dozens of meters away, slamming heavily on the ground. Only after a while did he wake up and get up.
"What, what do you mean by this?
Didn't you say that as long as we leave this place, you will let us go? "
"Hehe, you really don't know what to do. Our palace lord wants you to hand over your soul tablet." Tuoba Qian sneered from behind.
Qin Shi couldn't help but nod when he heard that.
That person clenched his fist. They had gone through a tremendous amount of effort to collect the tenth level soul tablet, and it hadn't even been snatched away in the Western Xuan region. Were they going to fall in the weakest Eastern Xuan region?
However, Qin Shi didn't give them any time to think. A voice that sounded like the morning bell of an ancient tomb resounded through the forest.
"Three!"
"Two!"
"I, I'll hand it over!"
Finally, someone couldn't withstand the tremendous pressure and took out the soul tablet from his forehead. When he did, the barrier around the god artifact opened up a passage the size of a person. When he left, the passage was sealed once again. This made the other three thousand disciples understand that if they didn't hand over their soul tablets today, none of them would be able to leave this place alive.
Compared to their lives, the soul tablets weren't that important. In the end, the three thousand disciples handed over their soul tablets one after another and escaped the barrier in a sorry state.
Seeing the three thousand disciples flee like stray dogs, Qin Shi, Chen Yan, and the rest walked out of the forest.
Li Rui smiled in confusion. "Hehe, brother Shi, with your strength, can't you just send them out of the Deep Sea Genesis Pool?
Why go through so much effort? "
Qin Shi ignored Li Rui. It would indeed be easier for him to take action directly. However, this wasn't the periphery, and he didn't want to make too many enemies. After all, he couldn't kill everyone here. This was also the reason why he hadn't shown himself. The relationships between the three thousand inner palaces were extremely complicated. Who could guarantee that there weren't any sea palaces related to the Three Pure Sea Palace?
He had already offended the Azure King Palace and Fire Cloud Palace. The three thousand inner palaces were treading on thin ice. The Qin Palace had yet to take shape and wasn't sturdy enough. It couldn't withstand the storm of the three thousand inner palaces.
Although it was a little troublesome, the outcome was the same. Qin Shi picked up the Soul tablets. There were a total of thirteen, and every one of them was at least grade ten.
Qin Shi kept two and gave the rest to Chen Yan and the rest. He wasn't stingy with Li Rui and the rest.
Li Rui and the rest were overjoyed to receive the grade ten Soul tablets. Grade ten Soul tablets meant that they were qualified to stay in the Deep Sea Genesis Pool for half a year.
Qin Shi and Li Rui said with a faint smile, "As long as you don't trick me, I won't give you any less benefits. But if I find out that you're trying to use me or frame me, I can guarantee that you'll die earlier than anyone else."
Li Rui felt a chill in his heart, and the expression in his eyes changed slightly. He hurriedly smiled and said, "Hehe, brother Shi, what are you saying? I'll be your little brother from now on. I won't dare to go back on your word."
Only then did Qin Shi nod. He needed to have some connections with the three thousand inner palaces.
Qin Shi raised his eyes and looked at the sky. It was already getting dark. He said, "Let's rest here for the night. We'll meet the Xuan spirit beast tomorrow."
Hearing Qin Shi's words, everyone nodded. Qin Shi walked in front of Tuoba Li and a green spirit light entered the spot between Tuoba Li's eyebrows. Tuoba Li quivered and sat up like a carp. "Am, am I dead?"
"Eh, big brother?
You, why are you here?
Don't tell me you're dead too?
Impossible, this is impossible, it must be an illusion before I die, right?
Then, goodbye. When I die, don't follow me. You can't die. Otherwise, my father will chase me to the Underworld to kill me! "Tuoba Li said and then fainted again.
Qin Shi couldn't help smiling bitterly, but he was a little touched in his heart. Tuoba Li's words might seem brainless, but they contained some true feelings.
Qin Shi lifted his leg and kicked Tuoba Li. "Clean yourself up. Otherwise, no one will leave you dinner later."
"Hmm?"
Tuoba Li abruptly sat up again at the mention of dinner. Shortly after, he wiped his face. "I, I'm really not dead?"
