Yang Lu's heart was already filled with fear. How could he care about Qin Shi's words? In his opinion, if he ran, he might have a chance of survival. If he stayed, he would die without a doubt. He howled like a stray dog as he ran madly out of the valley.
Looking at Yang Lu's back, Qin Shi smiled playfully. He did not give chase, but shook his head regretfully. It was as if he felt sorry for Yang Lu's stupid decision.
Xue Qingjiu saw Yang Lu escape, but Qin Shi was calm. He frowned slightly. Yang Lu's escape might not be important to Qin Shi. In Qin Shi's eyes, Yang Lu was just a clown. But to him, it was different. He understood Yang Lu's character very well. If there was a flaw, he would run. He was extremely sinister. Most importantly, if Yang Lu was smart, he would not choose to seek revenge on Qin Shi. But if he did, all the hatred would fall on the Xue Family Palace.
"Palace Lord Qin, you can't let the tiger return to the mountains." Xue Qingjiu gritted his teeth and finally spoke.
Qin Shi smiled slightly, as if he could see Xue Qingjiu's worry. "Don't worry. Since I said that if he runs, he will die a terrible death. Naturally, someone will deal with him. Xue Family Palace, since I promised you to become one of the top 10 sea palaces, as long as you are willing to follow the Qin Palace, no one in the 7,000 Sea Palaces will be able to take revenge on you in the future."
Xue Qingjiu could not help but be shocked. His inner thoughts had been seen through by this young man?
At this time, Xue Qingjiu felt that he was stupid. In front of this young man, no matter what he pretended to be, he could easily see through it. In his eyes, there was nowhere to hide.
"Besides, you said let the tiger return to the mountains?
Hehe, he is not fit to be the tiger. "Qin Shi smiled playfully.
"Argh!!!"
Suddenly, a pig-slaughtering howl rang out not far away. Xue Qingjiu and many other experts were startled at this moment. Soon after, they were shocked by the direction Yang Lu had fled in, and intense shock rose in the depths of their eyes.
Wasn't that scream made by Yang Lu, who had just escaped?
Not far away, Yang Lu's body was convulsing like a dead dog. He was picked up by a petite figure. The figure's eyes were bright and beautiful, and she threw Yang Lu into the ruins in front of Qin Shi. Then she clapped her hands in satisfaction and said, "Hehe, I just happened to see this guy trying to run, so I caught him for you. I broke his tendons in his arms and legs, destroyed his dantian, and shattered his internal organs. What do you think? How do you want to deal with him?"
"That's … that's Jade-Faced Asura?"
Including Xue Qingjiu, the faces of all the experts twitched when they heard the words of the beautiful figure. They could not help but look at Qin Shi strangely.
No wonder Qin Shi advised Yang Lu not to choose to escape. Not only would it be more miserable than falling into his hands, but as expected.
Only now did Xue Qingjiu realize how unnecessary his worries were.
As the current overlord of the 7,000 Sea Palace, an existence that had toppled the Palace of Three Purities, if this young man wanted someone dead, no one would live.
Qin Shi smiled faintly, as if he had expected this. He looked mockingly at Yang Lu, who was like a dead dog, and said, "Tell me, why didn't you listen to my advice?"
Yang Lu looked at Qin Shi in horror. At this time, he almost instinctively knelt on the ground and begged, "Qin … Qin Shi, no, Palace Lord Qin, please, please don't kill me. I was blinded by the Qin Palace for a moment. I didn't mean to go against the Qin Palace. Please be magnanimous and spare me. I promise that I, Yang Lu, am willing to do anything for you."
Looking at Yang Lu, Qin Shi's black eyes gradually darkened. He hated this kind of spineless people the most.
"When you betrayed the Qin Palace, you should have been prepared to pay the price," Qin Shi said coldly.
Qin Shi coldly spoke. Soon after, he indifferently turned around, looked towards Xue Qingjiu and said, "Finish him off."
Xue Qingjiu nodded. At this time, he did not show the slightest bit of mercy or hesitation. A huge hand swept up a cold hurricane and directly pierced through Yang Lu's heart.
Yang Lu was killed, and many cultivators from the Qin Palace felt their hair stand on end. Even their leader was dead. What were they still struggling for?
Next, it was a one-sided massacre. The Qin Palace's side was completely annihilated by the Qin Palace's disciples. Qin Shi didn't leave any survivors, mainly because he didn't believe in the promises of these traitors. When everything was settled, in the ruins, all the experts of the Qin Palace had smiles on their faces. Under Qin Shi's leadership, they felt unprecedentedly carefree and carefree.
"This battle is truly delightful." Many experts shouted excitedly.
"Palace Lord Qin, you are really amazing. We had our doubts before, but now we finally understand why the Palace of Three Purities suffered at your hands. From now on, we are willing to follow you."
"Yes, the Qin Palace is our palace!"
Many cultivators solemnly vowed to Qin Shi at this time.
Qin Shi smiled faintly and did not say much. He just followed his promise and reassured many of the cultivators present, telling them to go to the Qin Palace to get the Devil Talisman after the battle was over. Of course, Qin Shi's eyes turned gloomy at this time. They were already at the border of the Sea Region, but the Qin Palace was still so arrogant. Presumably, the Qin Palace would also suffer heavy losses.
"Palace Lord Xue, do you know the current situation of the Qin Palace?" Qin Shi suddenly asked at this time.
Xue Qingjiu was stunned for a moment, then he asked in surprise, "Palace Lord Qin, you didn't come from the Qin Palace?"
Qin Shi nodded without hiding anything, "Yes, I have been with the Long family for the past six months."
Xue Qingjiu was shocked, then he hurriedly said, "Then, Palace Lord Qin, the Qin Palace might be in trouble!"
"What's going on?" Qin Shi asked solemnly.
"Not long ago, the Qin Palace at the border lost a few defensive lines. The Qin Palace sent out a large number of experts to attack the Qin Palace. There were many Grand Completion World Realm experts among them. They should be closing in on the Qin Palace now. I always thought that you came from the Qin Palace, so I didn't ask you. I thought you came here after solving the problem." Xue Qingjiu smiled bitterly.
Qin Shi's eyes flashed with sharpness. The current Qin Palace couldn't withstand a few Grand Completion World Realm experts, not to mention that Lord Ling was heavily injured.
Qin Shi suddenly became as ferocious as a wild beast. Around him, blood Qi burned and expanded. He became extremely furious. And at this moment, one of his hands shook in the air. A huge force directly shattered the ground. After that, his face was ashen as he indifferently said, "Qin Palace, if anything happens to the Qin Palace, I will make your entire Sea Palace accompany them in death!"
Since Qin Shi knew that the Qin Palace was in danger, he didn't waste any more words with Xue Qingjiu. After giving a few simple instructions, he left in the direction of the Qin Palace with his donkey.
Looking at Qin Shi's departing figure, Xue Qingjiu's heart was filled with complicated emotions. He suddenly had a bold thought, and that was that Qin Shi could very possibly be the greatest benefactor in his life. He was a benefactor that could change the course of his life. He was determined to grab hold of this opportunity.
Of course, Qin Shi didn't know what Xue Qingjiu was thinking. He was only worried about the Qin Palace.
Qin Shi's speed was extremely fast, his silhouette was like a bolt of lightning, crazily traversing through the sea.
In just a few breaths, Qin Shi had traversed thousands of miles. In this period of time, Qin Shi had encountered a few more battlefields. Every single one of them was extremely bitter, and the Qin Palace's side was forced into a passive position. It could be seen that the Black Palace was currently suppressing the Qin Palace in the sea region. Qin Shi did not waste any words. Everyone related to the Black Palace in the battlefields he passed by was instantly killed.
During this time, Qin Shi calmed down a lot. The Sea Palace that followed the Qin Palace quickly approached the Qin Palace.
…
On the Qin Palace's side.
After half a year, the Three Purities Palace that had been reduced to ruins back then had now become a towering building that was hundreds of meters tall. It was extremely glorious. On a floating island, there was a hall that emitted a noble aura at the center. On the hall, there was a huge 'Qin' character that caused everyone to feel suffocated.
Tens of thousands of experts surrounded the Qin Palace from all directions.
Among them, there were close to a hundred World Realm experts.
At this time, Li Shu and Chen Yan were sitting in the center of the Qin Palace's grand hall. Below them were many experts of the Qin Palace, their faces filled with anger.
"Li Shu, what should we do now?" Lu Peng shouted angrily.
Li Shu was helpless. Even if he was proficient in the art of war, it was useless in front of absolute power.
Li Shu let out a long sigh and looked at Chen Yan with a strange gaze.
Chen Yan hesitated for a moment. Then, he turned to the noble Old Man Ling and asked, "Senior, do you have any good insights?"
"This time, the other party sent over a hundred World Realm experts. The strongest among them is Zhou Xu, a complete World Realm expert. Even Dao Yuanzi had to praise Zhou Xu's strength. I'm not his opponent. My barrier can stop them for a while, but it can't stop them forever. I'm afraid no one can deal with him other than our little friend Qin. Has our little friend Qin returned yet?" Old Man Ling asked.
"We've already contacted the Long Clan. The palace lord should be on his way back," Li Shu replied.
Old Man Ling nodded his head helplessly. "Right now, we can only hope that our little friend Qin returns in time. Otherwise, it'll be difficult to resolve the Qin Palace's calamity."
However, just as everyone in the grand hall was discussing, a thunderous voice suddenly resounded through the sky.
A huge tremor shook the hall. A dragon-shaped barrier that was protected by a golden light was suddenly blasted into smithereens by a few powerful meteors.
At this moment, an old man with a mocking smile appeared on his face. A huge gust of wind pierced through the main hall of the Qin Palace, causing a huge crater to appear in front of the main hall. The old man stroked his beard and laughed, "Hehe, ants of the Qin Palace, are you still not going to come out and accept your death?"
