"I know, but you should be careful. The Long family's curse hasn't been lifted yet, or I would have helped you get rid of these obstacles myself." The empress dowager didn't stop Qin Shi. She simply stared at him and made way for him.
Qin Shi smiled in gratitude. The Old Empress Dowager, or Long Xu, was after all the right-hand man of the Human Emperor back then. From him, Qin Shi felt a sense of kinship in this foreign land. Qin Shi smiled. Soon after, his expression suddenly darkened as an extremely terrifying and ruthless aura spread out from his mouth and nose. Very quickly, it spread out in the surrounding space, causing the Long clan elder to keep quiet out of fear. He felt that Qin Shi was like an Asura that had killed his way out of hell and ascended to the heavens.
The elder only let out a sigh of relief after Qin Shi left. He hadn't even breathed when Qin Shi was around. He said cautiously, "That kid has such a terrifying aura. His strength hasn't reached an earth-shattering level yet, but his aura isn't any weaker than the Human Emperor's."
The empress dowager smiled. "Of course. The emperor once said with certainty that this kid is the true chosen one, a dragon among men, the master of dragons." "That's right. That's right.
"A dragon among men …" The elder murmured to himself, then nodded. "Haha, the Palace of Three Purities is in trouble this time."
The empress dowager smiled knowingly and didn't say anything else. However, the look in her eyes suddenly changed. Not long after Qin Shi left the cave, a beautiful figure suddenly descended from the sky and blocked Qin Shi's way.
Qin Shi was surprised to see the figure. "Long Qi?"
"You're leaving?" Long Qi got straight to the point.
Qin Shi didn't hide anything as he nodded his head. Long Qi also directly said, "I'll go with you. I'm already yours. Although I haven't obtained your approval yet, before that, I'll always be by your side."
Qin Shi couldn't help but smile wryly. The empress dowager jumped out of the cave and smiled, stroking her beard. "My young friend, Long Qi is right. Since her curse has been lifted, there's no harm in letting her stay by your side."
Long Yin and Long Yi arrived at the same time and were astonished to hear that Long Qi's curse had been lifted.
"Old Master, Long Qi's curse has been lifted?" Long Yin exclaimed.
"Not just Long Qi, but you and Long Yi should also thank my young friend. The three of your curses have been lifted."
The empress dowager paused, then smiled. "The three of you should follow my young friend to the outskirts. It's fine, but the Palace of Three Purities is taking action. You should take care of each other and let them know that the Long family isn't to be bullied."
Long Yin and Long Yi were pleasantly surprised. The Long family's curse had been bothering them for a long time. How could they not be happy now that it had been lifted?
Long Yin cupped his fists at Qin Shi gratefully. He had always known that the empress dowager was very concerned about the Long family's curse, which was why he hadn't found his other half and couldn't continue the Long family's lineage. But now, he didn't have to worry about that anymore. He said, "Brother Qin, I can't thank you enough. If you ever need my help in the future, just let me know."
Qin Shi smiled bitterly, but he quickly came up with a plan. Just as the empress dowager had said, the outskirts were fine. With his current strength, he wasn't afraid of the Tenth Palace, but the Tenth Palace was directly under the Palace of Three Purities. Although he had mastered the second body and twelve divine pills, he couldn't defeat Zong Yuanzi before he reached the Greater Completion of the World realm. It was impossible to kill him.
If the three Yuanzi attacked at the same time, he might be at a disadvantage.
At that thought, Qin Shi turned around and said, "Empress Dowager, I have a favor to ask."
"Go ahead, my young friend."
"I want Long Yin and the other two to harass the Palace of Three Purities while I'm at the outskirts."
The empress dowager was surprised, but she had lived for tens of thousands of years and understood Qin Shi's intention right away. "My young friend, do you want the Palace of Three Purities to think that the Long family's curse has been lifted?"
"That's right. That way, the Palace of Three Purities will be more restrained," said Qin Shi.
The empress dowager nodded. It was a good idea, but she didn't agree. Instead, she turned around to ask Long Yin and the other two for their opinion.
"I'm not going. I want to go with you," said Long Qi coldly.
Long Yin and Long Yi looked at each other and smiled helplessly. "Brother Qin, how about this? Long Qi will go with you, while Long Yi and I will harass the Palace of Three Purities."
Qin Shi smiled bitterly, but this was the only thing he could do. He could sense the determination in Long Qi's eyes. It was as if she wanted to tell Qin Shi that she would follow him unless he killed her. Qin Shi could only nod. "That's fine. Long Qi will follow me then."
In the end, Qin Shi failed to shake Long Qi off. The reason why Qin Shi didn't want to bring Long Qi along wasn't because he was worried about her. Regardless of her strength or background, no one in the outskirts could hurt her. It was because Chen Yan was at the outskirts. He didn't know about the agreement the two girls had reached. He couldn't help but worry about what would happen when the two girls met.
But a moment later, Qin Shi shook his head. "Forget it. If I can't even get past Chen Yan, won't I die a horrible death when I return to the human world?"
Qin Shi let out a long sigh and braced himself. He finally left the Long Clan's Beast World and the mountain range that stretched as far as the eye could see. He returned to the Endless Ocean with Long Qi following behind him.
Even with Qin Shi's speed, it would take him at least half a month to reach the Qin Palace from the Long Clan's Beast World. That was if he used the teleportation array in the Endless Ocean. But now, Qin Shi couldn't wait any longer. He didn't want to wait a second longer. Every minute he waited meant one more minute of danger for the Qin Palace. Qin Shi's eyes were as cold as ice when he left the Long Clan.
Outside the Long family, Qin Shi suddenly stopped. At this moment, he took a deep breath and suddenly raised his hand high into the air.
"You want to tear the space apart?" Long Qi was stunned when she saw Qin Shi's posture.
Qin Shi nodded without hiding anything. This was the fastest and most direct method he could think of.
Even though she had countless words that she wanted to say, in the end, she swallowed them all back down. That was because after being together with Qin Shi for the past few days, she had gradually understood that Qin Shi's character was something that he had decided on himself. No matter how others tried to stop him, it would not be possible to change his mind, especially when this matter involved the life of someone he cared about. That's right, she was the Eldest Young Lady of the Long family. However, this identity might be useful to others, but it was completely useless to Qin Shi. Since she wanted to be Qin Shi's woman, she must learn to restrain herself. She must put away her Eldest Young Lady temper, and learn to be a quiet girl. She must learn to forget her own identity, and only remember that she was Qin Shi's woman.
"Qin Shi, one day, I will make you willingly sleep with me!
Sleep beside me!
Don't use such despicable methods! "
Long Qi swore in her heart. When she thought about how her first time had been ruined by her grandfather's schemes, and it had even happened when she had lost her memories, her eyes turned red. However, this did not affect the determination in her heart.
She wanted to crazily entangle herself with Qin Shi once and for all, until her body and soul merged into the milk.
Qin Shi took a deep breath. This was the first time he used the power of space. Previously, when the Blood Shaman was around, it was the Blood Shaman who controlled the power of space. The Blood Shaman was very familiar with the power of space. The Void Ancient Devil gave him an innate advantage in controlling space. But now, he had no other choice. The Blood Shaman was very dedicated this time, and went into seclusion when he needed it the most.
"Tear the space apart?"
"Brat, be careful. Given the distance from here to the Qin Palace, even many spatial formation masters don't dare to be 100% confident. If a spatial storm is triggered, it will be very troublesome." The Nefarious Demon said.
Qin Shi nodded, but even so, he still decided to take the risk.
The Qin Palace was surrounded, and he didn't have much time left.
"Everyone, wait for me!"
"Tenth Direction Palace!
You guys asked for it!
I don't mind removing your names in the outer perimeter in the future! "
Qin Shi had been drooling over the resources of the Tenth Direction Palace for a long time. He didn't care about it himself, but if the Qin Palace could use it, its strength would definitely soar. The Qin Palace was his capital to kill his way back to the human world. So no matter what, he had to make the Qin Palace stronger.
Qin Shi let out a long sigh. His arm finally turned into a dragon claw, and the space in front of him began to distort and shatter.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
A series of explosions rang out. Qin Shi shattered the space around him and stepped into the void together with Long Qi.
And at this time, in the outer perimeter.
Three years. Qin Shi had been away from the Qin Palace for nearly three years ever since they parted at the Deep Sea Genesis reservoir.
The current Qin Palace was no longer the Qin Palace of the past. With the assistance of the Taba Palace and Rashomon Palace, as well as the friendly management of the clerical script, the status of the Qin Palace in the outer regions rapidly rose. During this period of time, Chen Yan resigned from her position as the Palace Lord of the Rashomon Palace and handed it over to Luo Yan. She had been taking care of the huge Sea Palace on behalf of Qin Shi.
During this period of time, the eyes of countless Sea Palaces had turned red. So under the Tenth Palace Hall's call, many Sea Palaces responded, wanting to get a piece of the cake that was the Qin Palace. However, they didn't know that this piece of cake was something that they couldn't reach. As long as they stretched their hand towards the cake, they would be destroyed by the demon, and that demon was currently on his way.
The Qin Palace was currently surrounded so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through.
There were nearly a thousand sea palaces and hundreds of thousands of experts in the eight directions of the Qin Palace.
And among these experts, there was a beautiful figure that didn't lose to men. She stood aloof from the world and used her body to block the Qin Palace.
Her jade-like eyes flickered with a cold light, as if telling everyone that if they wanted to destroy the Qin Palace, they had to kill her first.
