"How dare you!"
Seeing that the Lihuo Sect Seal was snatched away by the black-robed youth, Lin Yun flew into a rage. With a flick of his sleeve, a gust of wind shot out along with his palm, blasting towards the black-robed youth.
Woosh!
The black-robed youth's footsteps were strange and extremely fast. With a nimble sway of his body, he dodged Lin Yun's attack. "Haha, old bald donkey, you can't recognize me after not seeing me for a few months?"
Everyone's eyes widened at the sudden appearance of this phenomenon.
"Trying to act mysterious!
I want to see exactly who you are! "
Lin Yun's eyes were ruthless. With a flip of his outstretched palm, he quickly retracted it and clawed at the black-robed youth's forehead like a tiger's claw.
With his eyes slightly narrowed, the black-robed youth placed both of his hands in front of his chest. A golden light spread out from his body and he stood still like a mountain. A palm covered in golden scales reached out from the black robe and confronted Lin Yun head-on.
Bang!
As their palms met, a wild gust of wind swept up a cold current and flew from both sides of their bodies. It was like a dragon soaring from the abyss. The ground suddenly collapsed and a ravine spread out like a dragon's spine.
Rumble!
The ravine formed a spider web shape and the earth split open. Gravel and sand filled the sky and pierced out like sharp swords under the wild gust of wind. The dilapidated buildings were directly turned into a sieve under the millions of gravel.
"So powerful …"
"Is this really the power that a human can create?"
"Who is this person?"
Ling Xiao and the rest all moved to the side and covered their faces with their sleeves. They squinted their eyes and stared at the sudden magnificent feat.
Boom!
After a moment of stalemate, Lin Yun and the youth under the black robe looked at each other. His body couldn't help trembling, "It's you?"
"Haha, you finally recognize me?"
Facing Lin Yun, the black-robed youth's black eyes flashed with a cold light. A cold arc rose from the corner of his mouth. Immediately after, he exerted force in his palm again. The arrogant Spiritual Energy that was like a tiger's roar turned golden and pounced towards Lin Fan.
Boom!
Lin Yun's face stiffened. He gritted his teeth and a purple light suddenly appeared from his body. It pierced through the clouds and turned into a vast number of stars.
Rumble!
On one side, a golden light flashed, while on the other side, a purple starry sky flashed. The entire ancient city was split into two by the two forces. Finally, in the intense clash, the two forces exploded, and both of them were sent flying.
"Sect Leader's attack was blocked?"
"This, this is impossible, right?
An attack at the King Spirit realm … Who is this person? "The Cloud Cauldron Sect and Li Fire Sect were in an uproar. Ling Xiao clenched his fists until they creaked.
Bang!
Lin Yun took ten steps back and stopped moving.
Boom!
The black-robed youth was in a much more sorry state than Lin Yun. He took a dozen steps back, but he stood up straight without any fear.
He retreated a dozen or so steps. When he finally came to a stop, the bamboo hat covering his face was swept up by the wind and hung up into the sky, revealing a handsome face that caused everyone present to stiffen.
Silence!
The young man had black hair and black eyes. His pupils were deep and clear. Everyone's eyes widened at the same time. He looked very young. His slightly immature face was not even twenty years old.
"It's … it's him?"
Ling Xiao, Su Ming, Qin Shang, Mo Chen, Elder Xun, the Blood Paragon, Shao Yang, and Liu Qing's eyes widened and their bodies trembled.
"It's Qin Shi?
Qin Shi is back? "
Someone couldn't help but shout out in shock. The moment Qin Shi's name spread out, the entire place fell into a deathly silence, which was soon replaced by an uproar.
Everyone present knew Qin Shi's name.
"He's Qin Shi?"
The disciples of the Yunding Sect discussed among themselves. Qiu Ming, Qiu Yue, and the others looked puzzled and shocked.
"H-he can actually fight against the Sect Leader?"
"He's grown so much in three months?" Mo Chen, Elder Xun, and Liu Qing's eyes widened.
Ling Xiao's face was extremely ugly, and he clenched his fists tightly. Everyone knew Lin Yun's strength, but Qin Shi could show that he was on par with him?
Just what kind of existence was this?
What kind of talent did he have?
When he thought of this, Ling Xiao was filled with regret. "Was I really wrong?"
"This boy … has reached this level in three months?"
The Blood Paragon's eyes were burning with passion. He looked at Ling Xiao and smiled bitterly. "The Lihuo Sect has lost an incredible boy."
Lin Yun stared at Qin Shi, then looked at his palm with a grave expression. There was a large area of charred skin on his palm. Even he didn't have it easy when the two of them fought just now.
Not far away from Qin Shi, Su Ming shuddered. His eyes turned red, and a ball of mist appeared in his eyes. "Three months … Are you finally back?"
"Yes!"
Qin Shi turned his head around. When he looked at Su Ming from a close distance, even with his carefree personality, he could not help but twitch. He felt a little sour at the tip of his nose. He did not speak, but only gave a sound of acknowledgment. He walked to Su Ming and hugged him. "I'm back!"
"I knew … you would definitely come back. It's just like what Lin Yu said. When you come back, you will definitely be the king, and you will become the most dazzling light in this ancient city …"
Su Ming hugged Qin Shi excitedly. He had been waiting for the past three months, waiting for the day Qin Shi returned so that he could become his right-hand man. The day he had been waiting for had finally arrived.
"Shi Tou!"
Qin Shang also rushed forward and hugged Qin Shi with reddened eyes. "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"
"Qin Shi!
Shi Tou! "
Shao Yang and the others got up and ran to Qin Shi with difficulty. Mo Chen and Elder Xun also came forward. Both of them looked at Qin Shi. When they saw that he was unharmed, they said excitedly, "Brat, I knew you would come back!"
"Haha, I really did not want to come back. After all, I was expelled by Lihuo Sect. How could I have the face to come back?"
Qin Shi let go of Su Ming and Qin Shang. He looked at them and grinned. His laughter was filled with mockery. His gaze landed on Ling Xiao. "Am I right, Sect Leader Ling Xiao?"
Ling Xiao's body trembled. He was just about to take a step forward when he stopped in midair. He did not know what to do.
Qin Shi was very strong. He was the only one who could fight against Lin Yun. When Ling Xiao saw Qin Shi's appearance, he thought that the heavens had given hope to Lihuo Sect. However, he suddenly remembered that he was the one who pushed Qin Shi away. Why would Qin Shi come back to help them now?
Su Ming and Qin Shang looked at each other. Neither of them spoke.
"But, Flat Chest is holding me back. My brothers are here too."
Qin Shi paused for a moment. His gaze swept past the messy ground and looked towards the tower.
The two girls, Yin Mo and Shi Lan, ran forward.
After stepping forward, Shi Lan obediently went to Qin Shi's side and hooked her jade-like hand in front of her chest. Yin Mo ran to Shao Yang and the others and asked about their well-being.
Then, she ran to Ling Xiao's side and supported the old Ling Xiao with one hand. She said with concern, "Sect Leader … I'm fine. I'm back."
Ling Xiao supported Yin Mo. He did not respond to her words. He only looked at Qin Shi with self-reproach. He bit his chapped lips and said, "Qin Shi … I know you have a grudge against me …"
"Haha, let's not talk about the past."
Before he finished speaking, Qin Shi smiled and weighed the jade seal in his hand. He interrupted, "Sect Leader Ling Xiao, if you really feel guilty, why don't you give me the Lihuo Sect seal? You don't have the ability to protect Lihuo Sect anyway."
Silence!
The whole place was dead silent. The people of Lihuo Sect were stunned. No one expected Qin Shi to say such words. Moreover, his words were filled with humiliation.
Lin Yun was also a little surprised. He looked at Qin Shi with a dark face and did not speak.
"Shi Tou!" Yin Mo was a little displeased.
But this time, Qin Shi did not look away because of Yin Mo. He continued to stare at Ling Xiao coldly and laughed. "Handing Lihuo Sect to me is better than handing it to this old dog from Yunding Sect."
Everyone's eyes fell on Ling Xiao at the same time.
Ling Xiao's body trembled. His gaze was a little stiff. After some internal struggle, he finally gritted his teeth. "If you can help Lihuo Sect escape from the sea of fire, I don't mind handing the position of sect leader to you!"
Silence!
There was another dead silence. Mo Chen was the first to regain his senses. "Sect Leader!"
Ling Xiao waved his hand and interrupted them. He said sadly, "There's no need to say more. I really don't have the ability to protect Lihuo Sect. The blood, sweat, and tears of several sect leaders were almost destroyed in my hands. Even if Qin Shi did not mention it, I would not have the face to be the sect leader."
Hearing that, Qin Shi was stunned at first. He said that mainly because he felt resentful. But even if Ling Xiao did not agree, he would still help Lihuo Sect. After all, he had promised Yin Mo.
But since Ling Xiao had agreed, Qin Shi naturally would not refuse. After all, the Qin Family's influence could not stay in the town forever. They would eventually expand to the ancient city. Even if he did not accept Lihuo Sect today, he would point his spear at them sooner or later.
"Hehe, I'll remember that!"
The corner of Qin Shi's mouth rose. Soon after, he cast his gaze towards Lin Yun. "Old dog Lin Yun, it's time to properly settle the grudges between us. You can repay what you owe me today!"
"Shameless boasting!" Hearing that, the corner of Lin Yun's mouth twitched.
"Hehe, whether it's shameless boasting or not, you'll know soon enough." Qin Shi tightened his black robe and then glanced at Shi Lan, signaling her to step back.
After Shi Lan stepped back, he raised the Lihuo Sect Seal in his hand and threw it to Ling Xiao. "Sect Leader Ling Xiao, take this first. Once I get rid of these Cloud Tripod Dogs, I'll personally come to you to take over the sect!"
Taking the Lihuo Sect Seal, Ling Xiao's old eyes were a little unfocused.
Perhaps this would be the last day he would be the sect leader of Lihuo Sect.
Su Ming and Qin Shang looked at each other and took a step forward. "Shi Tou, we'll help you!"
"Hehe, there's no need. There are some scores that I have to settle with my own hands. Otherwise, it'll be hard for me to get rid of the hatred in my heart!"
Qin Shi waved his hand and stopped Su Ming and Qin Shang. He then shrugged the soreness in his shoulders and took a step towards Lin Yun. "Old bald donkey, have you wiped your neck clean?
Prepare to die! "
"Hehe, let me see how much you've grown in these three months!"
Lin Yun shouted angrily. He spread his arms wide and immediately, balls of purple light flew around him.
"I won't let you down!"
Qin Shi also activated his spiritual power. The golden light was dyed with black murderous aura. With a whistling sound, it covered half of the ancient city!
Whoosh!
