In the short span of a month, the 7,000 Sea Palace was shaken.
First, the outer 10 Directional Halls, then the 3,000 Temple of Three Purities. The inner and outer regions were unified like never before. In the eyes of many people in the Sea Palace, this was something that was impossible. But now it had happened because of a young man called Qin Shi. Qin Shi's name had finally resounded throughout the 7,000 Sea Palace, and he was now a household name.
The name Qin Palace had finally established itself as the overlord of the 7,000 Sea Palace.
At this moment, countless experts saw that the once prosperous Palace of Three Purities was now in ruins. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, it would be really hard for them to believe that all of this was real. This caused many experts to look at the young man who stood proudly in the air above the ruins. They knew clearly that this young man must not be provoked, otherwise, it would definitely bring about a calamity.
Previously, some of the Sea Palaces had doubted Qin Shi's strength because of the Thunder God Pearl. However, after Qin Shi killed the group of ferocious demons, these doubts completely disappeared.
Qin Shi's lips curled into a faint smile as he looked around. His sharp eyes swept across many of the Sea Palace Lords, causing many of them to feel uneasy. It was as though they were being stared at by a wild beast.
Qin Shi grinned. "Now, is there anyone who is unconvinced by me, Qin Shi?
It doesn't matter. If you are unconvinced, feel free to step forward. As I said before, as long as anyone can defeat me, I, Qin Shi, will hand over the overlord position of the Temple of Three Purities. Of course, if that person is defeated, I will not repeat the results, lest everyone thinks that I, Qin Shi, am a bloodthirsty god of death. I just don't want to leave behind trouble and trouble for myself. "
Many experts laughed bitterly. Who would dare to be unconvinced in such a situation?
If not for Group Bi, perhaps there would still be experts who hoped to get lucky.
But now, there would not be.
Qin Shi's hearty laughter was as soul-stirring as if he was in a secluded valley. After a long while, when no one spoke, he smiled faintly again and said, "Since that's the case, has everyone decided to recognize me as the new overlord?
Don't you think that I'm still young and inexperienced, that I don't deserve to be the overlord? "
"Young friend Qin, you are too courteous. All of us have witnessed your strength. I believe that in the 7,000 Sea Palaces, other than you, there is no one else who would dare to sit on this overlord seat...!" At this point, a Sea Palace Palace Master who was very close to the front laughed bitterly.
Qin Shi was being sarcastic. Young?
So what if he was young?
The Palace of Three Purities was destroyed by Qin Shi.
"That's right, that's right. In the current 7,000 Sea Palaces, excluding the Long Clan, Young Friend Qin is the undisputed number one. If Young Friend Qin says that he is not worthy of the position of Overlord, I'm afraid no one in the 7,000 Sea Palaces is. Young Friend Qin, we are convinced!"
At this time, one after another, the Sea Palaces began to pander. Now that Qin Shi's position was confirmed, they all wanted to take the opportunity to curry favor with the strongest power in the 7,000 Sea Palaces.
"That's right. Besides, Young Friend Qin is the son-in-law of the Long Clan... As the saying goes, when you enter the same family, don't you have to be polite? Young Friend Qin has the Long Clan behind him. This is a power that even the Palace of Three Purities did not have in the past. If anyone dares to say that Young Friend Qin is not worthy of the position of Overlord, I, Yun Kuang, will be the first to step forward and break their necks."
"If anyone dares to go against Young Friend Qin, the Palace of Three Purities will do our best to help Young Friend Qin, even if we have to go bankrupt." All sorts of flattery could be heard.
Li Shu looked around and laughed mockingly. "Hehe, what a bunch of utilitarian fellows."
Chen Yan laughed. At this time, she looked at Qin Shi with gratified eyes. At this time, Qin Shi was like the brightest star in the night sky among the crowd.
"Little Li Shu, now do you know why I value him so much?" Chen Yan asked with a smile.
Li Shu smiled bitterly and nodded. Who would have thought that a youth could topple the 7,000 Sea Palace, which had 10,000 years of foundation, in a mere five years?
"Sister Chen Yan, what if he loses today?"
"If he loses, I will be the soul buried in his grave," Chen Yan said without hesitation.
Chen Yan spoke without giving it any thought, and then she stopped and said to Li Shu, "Little Li Shu, I did ask you to stay by his side because I wanted you to be able to help him. However, you have to believe that he's someone worthy of you following."
Li Shu nodded, and his eyes couldn't help but become fiery. "Yes, indeed, he is a person worth following. I can't wait to see what he will be like in the future. At that time, I'm afraid the world will tremble for him."
Li Shu had always believed that by staying by Qin Shi's side, he would definitely witness the most magnificent battle in the world.
That battle would not be inferior to the unparalleled battle of ancient times.
Li Shu also hoped that he would be able to lead the army and leave his mark on the history books of war in the future.
Qin Shi only smiled faintly in response to the countless sea palaces' flattery.
He knew very well that these sea palaces were just opportunists. If he was defeated today and the Palace of Three Purities won, they would say the same thing to the Palace of Three Purities. In fact... they would be even more excessive. All the respect they had for him now would be reduced to mockery.
Qin Shi waved his hand and said, "Since everyone is like this, then I will not stand on ceremony. Today, I will sit on the position of overlord. Of course, if there comes a day in the future when anyone here thinks that I, Qin Shi, am not qualified, you can step forward and challenge me. As long as you win, I am willing to hand over the position of overlord. Of course, let me warn you first. As long as I am the overlord, if anyone dares to anger the Qin Palace, then don't blame me, Qin Shi, for being ruthless."
Qin Shi's words were meant for everyone present. He was not joking or emotional.
Many of the sea palaces felt their hair stand on end.
After a while, Qin Shi smiled in satisfaction when he saw many experts nod their heads.
"Palace Lord Qin." At this moment, a middle-aged man in green smiled awkwardly at Qin Shi.
Qin Shi saw the middle-aged man's hesitation and revealed a mocking expression.
"Azure Palace?"
The middle-aged man was the Palace Lord of the Azure Palace, Qing Kuang.
Qing Li and Qing Yu's father.
At this moment, many experts in the inner three thousand also looked at Qing Kuang curiously because they could clearly see a hint of coldness in the corner of Qin Shi's eyes.
"The Azure Palace has a conflict with Qin Shi?"
"It can't be, right?
I'm afraid that the Azure Palace will not have an easy time in the inner three thousand in the future. "
"Indeed. The Azure Palace originally relied on the martial arts of the Four Heavenly Kings to rise in the inner three thousand in the past hundred years. If they were given some time, they might even enter the top ten sea palaces. But now, it seems that the Azure Palace will fall."
"Haha, I know a little about this. Do you still remember the Azure Swallow of the Azure Palace?"
"Azure Swallow?
The beauty of the Azure Palace? "
"Of course I remember. Back then, Azure Swallow was the target of many experts in the inner three thousand."
"Yes, but unfortunately, I heard that Azure Swallow chose a small sea palace in the outer three thousand in the end."
"Could it be because of this?"
"Hehe, that's right. Before Qin Shi established the Qin Palace, he was always the guest elder of the Little Sea Palace chosen by Qingyan." At this moment, many experts were enlightened. So it was because of this matter?
"That can't be right. The Azure Palace should be considered a blessing in disguise."
"Hmph, that should be the case. But Qing Kuang made the wrong choice. He thought that the Azure Palace was one of the inner three thousand and had a boundless future. He looked down on the Little Sea Palace in the outer three thousand and not only did he suppress the Little Sea Palace, he even grounded Azure Swallow for a long time because of this." Many experts nodded and looked at Qing Kuang pitifully.
Facing Qing Kuang, Qin Shi smiled coldly. "Is there something you need from me?
Or do you want to take revenge for your two sons? "
The corner of Qing Kuang's mouth couldn't help but twitch as he smiled helplessly.
Revenge?
Qing Kuang had indeed thought about it before. After the battle at the Deep Sea Source Reservoir, he wanted nothing more than to tear Qin Shi into a thousand pieces. But after witnessing Qin Shi's strength, he wouldn't dare to do so even if he was ten times more courageous.
Qing Kuang let out a long sigh. "Palace Lord Qin, what are you saying? I'm here to apologize to you. It was this old man's fault for not being strict in disciplining my son. I hope you won't hold it against my Azure Palace."
Qin Shi snorted coldly and ignored Qing Kuang. Instead, he turned around and looked at Tuoba Kuang, who had followed the clerical script.
At this moment, Tuoba Kuang clenched his fists tightly when he saw Qing Kuang. His heart was filled with unspeakable hatred. He had been suppressed by the Azure Palace all these years. He had been humiliated and mocked by the Azure Palace. Back then, Qing Yu dared to point at his nose and scold him.
Qing Kuang seemed to have noticed something. He quickly turned around and smiled apologetically at Tuoba Kuang. "Brother-in-law …"
"Brother-in-law?"
Tuoba Kuang suddenly let out a pitiful laugh. "Haha, when have you ever treated me as your brother-in-law?
Because of your selfish desires, because of your petty vanity, Qingyan and I were separated for a hundred years. Qingyan sneaked out once, but you almost destroyed my Azure Palace because of it. In your eyes, when have you ever treated me as your brother-in-law? "
Tuoba Kuang's voice was agitated. He had suffered too much disdain from the Azure Palace over the years.
Qing Kuang couldn't help but lower his head bitterly.
Indeed, he had been suppressing the Tuoba Palace behind their backs. Back then, the Yang Palace only dared to attack the Tuoba Palace because of his tacit approval.
He had always wanted to destroy the Tuoba Palace, but he couldn't do it himself due to his status.
"Uncle Tuoba, as long as you say it, I will help you destroy the Azure Palace," Qin Shi said calmly.
Many of the experts within the three thousand broke out in a cold sweat. The survival of an ocean palace was actually mentioned by Qin Shi in such a casual manner.
However, the most frustrating thing was that no one dared to question him.
Clang!
Qing Kuang's heart skipped a beat as he looked at Tuoba Kuang with a pleading gaze. "Brother-in-law … Brother-in-law … no matter what, for Qingyan's sake, you have to speak up for me. The Azure Palace is Qingyan's home. You don't want to see Qingyan homeless, right?"
"I can also help you kill him." Qin Shi said with disdain when he saw Qing Kuang bring up his sister.
Tuoba Kuang's heart wavered. In truth, he wanted nothing more than to tear Qing Kuang into pieces.
But in the end, he shook his head with a bitter smile. He didn't want Qingyan to hate him because of this. No matter what, Qing Kuang was still Qingyan's brother.
Seeing Tuoba Kuang shake his head, Qin Shi smiled faintly. He already knew that Tuoba Kuang wouldn't take Qing Kuang's life, even if Qin Shi really wanted to tear Qing Kuang to pieces.
The reason why he said this was to establish the Qin Palace's prestige and to let the Azure Palace know that their lives were given by Tuoba Kuang.
Qin Shi had already said that sooner or later, the Azure Palace would be proud and glad that Qingyan chose Tuoba Kuang.
"There's a good woman in your Azure Royal Palace. She saved your lives," Qin Shi said indifferently.
