"Lin Yu?"
Hearing Ling Xiao's words, everyone present clicked their tongues.
Other than Pu Quan and Shi Lan, everyone present knew Lin Yu.
At that time, at the end of the Burning Heaven Secret Realm, Lin Yu's sudden appearance and the deterrence caused by the Flaming Flame Token in his hand were still reverberating in everyone's mind.
But the problem was, what did Guang Mo's aggression have to do with Lin Yu?
"Lin Yu?
Lin Family? "
Pu Quan did not know Lin Yu, but after hearing Lin Yu's name, he could not help but frown.
Not seeing Pu Quan's strange expression, Qin Shi lowered his head and thought for a while, then asked Ling Xiao, "Elder Ling Xiao, do you know about Lin Yu and his identity?"
Ling Xiao was silent for a while, then shook his head with a bitter smile, "Yes, Lin Yu is the Crown Prince of the Empire …"
"Crown Prince?"
Everyone's mouths fell open in shock.
Su Ming, Yin Mo, Qin Shang, and everyone else shuddered in disbelief.
Qin Shi also clenched his fists tightly.
They had long guessed that Lin Yu's identity was not ordinary, but no one expected him to have the blood of the Empire's Imperial Family.
Wasn't this identity a little too exaggerated?
More importantly, he was the Crown Prince?
Didn't that mean that in a few decades, Lin Yu would be the current Emperor?
But at this moment, Shao Yang shouted in shock, "That can't be right?
Shouldn't the current Imperial Family have the surname Fang? "
Hearing this, Qin Shi and the others also came back to their senses.
Indeed, everyone in the Empire knew this. The current Emperor of the Crimson Flame Empire was called Fang Min, but Lin Yu's surname was Lin. How could he be the Imperial Family?
While everyone was confused, Pu Quan stood up, stared at Ling Xiao, and let out a long sigh, "Phew … if I'm not wrong, this boy named Lin Yu should be the only son of the Imperial Concubine Lin, right?"
Pampering Imperial Concubine Lin?
Ling Xiao nodded and said, "That's right. Lin Yu is the only son of the Lin Concubine. The Lin Concubine is the Holy Maiden of the Lin Clan, a large clan located beyond the Great Wall. In the past, the Lin Clan and the Crimson Flame Empire were constantly at war. In order to pacify the war, the Lin Concubine was married to the current Emperor."
"Lin Yu is the only son of the Lin Concubine. As the Lin Clan is a maternal clan, Lin Yu has the same surname as the Lin Concubine."
Hearing those words, the crowd smacked their lips. Lin Yu from beyond the Great Wall?
This Lin Yu's background was really not ordinary, huh?
Qin Shi hesitated for a moment and said to Ling Xiao, "Senior Ling Xiao, I heard that when Lin Yu came to Lihuo Sect, he negotiated some kind of agreement with you?
I wonder what this agreement is all about? "
Ling Xiao hesitated for a moment, then said, "Phew, an agreement?
I'm afraid it's because of this agreement that some people from the Empire have their eyes on our sect. That's why they forced us this time … "
"Back then, the Lin Concubine was as beautiful as a fairy and was deeply loved by the Emperor. Because of this, the Emperor gave Lin Yu the title of Crown Prince."
"But now, the Emperor is already seventy years old. I'm afraid that he will pass away soon and his mind is no longer clear. Since then, the palace has been filled with intrigue and deceit. As the Lin Concubine came from the borders, she was pressured by the other concubines. Among them, the Empress took the lead and targeted the Lin Concubine. She has been banished to the Cold Palace and Lin Yu's position as Crown Prince is also in danger …"
"Previously, he came to me hoping that my sect would side with him and help him save the Lin Concubine and snatch the position of Crown Prince."
Qin Shi frowned, "But, even if the Lihuo Sect sided with Lin Yu, what use would it be?
Why didn't he look for a big sect like the Burning Sky Sect? "
"Ah … when did he not want to?
But other than the Imperial Capital in the central region, all the Ascendant sects in the four regions have all sided with the Empress. Even the Burning Sky Sect is no exception! "
"Is that so …" Qin Shi fell silent.
His words caused everyone to blink. No one could recover from their shock even after a long time. This news was too shocking.
In the end, Su Ming could not help but speak first, "Oh my god, Xiao Yu is the Crown Prince?
Doesn't that mean that Zhou Qin will be the Crown Princess in the future?
F * ck, then what kind of wife do I have to find to be better than him?
This era of relying on one's father is not fair! "
As soon as he said this, he received a lot of eye rolls from the crowd.
Qin Shi did not speak. He heard a few key words from Ling Xiao's words. Squeezed, Cold Palace, Imminent Crisis. When these words were connected together, it was obvious that Lin Yu was not having a good time.
Under his bright and beautiful appearance, there were too many burdens.
Pu Quan's eyebrows twitched. He said, "If that's the case, then General Guang Mo is very likely one of the Empress' men. The Empress probably wants to get rid of all the power in Lin Yu's hands."
"Yes, that should be right."
"If that's the case, then the imperial edict might not even be real. It's very possible that the Empress took advantage of the Emperor's confusion and used some method to trick the Emperor into signing it." The crowd continued to discuss.
Qin Shi clenched his fists. Suddenly, a look of determination flashed between his eyebrows. "Hmph, if I knew this would happen, I would have killed Guang Mo just now!"
After saying this, Qin Shi took a deep breath and said, "Since we know what happened, we have already offended the people behind Guang Mo. They will definitely not let us go. Lin Yu is my brother. I will definitely not stand by and do nothing. It doesn't matter if it's the Empire or the whole continent, no one can bully my brother!"
"From today onwards, the Qin Sect is independent and declares war against the Empire!"
"If any of you are afraid, you can leave. I won't stop you!"
The imposing and mighty voice echoed above the Qin Sect.
Everyone's faces turned red. They were hesitating. Ling Xiao clenched his fists. The opponent this time was too strong. Even Burning Sky Sect was just a small character in front of the Empire. What about their Qin Sect?
Could they really fight against the Empire?
Was that even possible?
While everyone was still in a daze, Su Ming took the lead and said, "Shi, I support you.
Even though I'm getting more and more jealous of Little Yu, I'm such a loyal person. Little Yu's problems are my problems. What bullsh * t Empire? They're just a bunch of women in the harem. When the time comes, I might even be able to capture two princesses and make them my wives!
At that time, I'll still be Little Yu's Big Brother Bai. "
Su Ming's humorous words stirred up the atmosphere. Yin Mo and Shao Yang stood up, "What are you afraid of? Since we've already offended them, we'll be Qin Sect's people in life and our ghosts in death. Let's fight them!"
"Fight!"
"That's right, fight!"
Liu Qing, Liu Lan, Song Yu, Chen Gang, more and more people raised their hands and shouted. In the end, under the intense atmosphere, Ling Xiao also shook his head with a bitter smile, "For Lin Yu, we'll fight it out with them!"
The Qin Sect was officially going to fight against the Empire.
Pu Quan shook his head with a bitter smile as he looked at the angry people. "Honestly, you don't have to look like you're facing death with equanimity. She might be in the Cold Palace now, but the Empress doesn't dare to touch her.
"The Lin Concubine has been doted on by the Emperor. She's also a leftover woman of the Lin Clan. The Lin Clan has thousands of years of history. Her power is no less than the Empress'. In some cases, she might even be more powerful than the Empress."
Hearing this, Ling Xiao and the others let out a sigh of relief.
But … Pu Quan continued, "The Empress has three great generals of the Empire. They're all in the later stage of the Cryptic Spirit Realm and have great skills. They're people you need to be careful of.
"In addition, the Empress has only one son, Fang Heng. He's very talented. In terms of talent, he's on par with you, Qin Shi. However, he has the resources of the Empire's treasury. I heard that he's already trying to break through to the Cryptic Spirit Realm."
Cryptic Spirit Realm?
Everyone present gasped at the same time.
Qin Shi also frowned. He could not help but let out a bitter snort, "Haha, Mysterious Spirit Stage huh?
I can only look up to it, but I can't believe I'll have to face it myself! "
He engraved Pu Quan's words in his heart, but no matter how strong the enemy was, he would definitely not stand by and watch Lin Yu's matter. Taking a deep breath, he said, "Xiao Yu 'zi, wait for me. As long as your brother is here, no one will be able to bully you!"
After saying this, he glanced at Pu Quan, "Hehe, old man, I didn't expect you to know so much about the Empire."
Pu Quan was startled and said disapprovingly, "What do you think?
No matter what, I'm a two-rune Charm Magician. I'm afraid you're the only one in the entire Empire who wouldn't look up to me. I have a wide network of friends, so I've long heard about the Empire's affairs. "
Qin Shi curled his lips and didn't take it to heart.
Everyone came to an agreement. Guang Mo had already fled, so there was nothing else to worry about. Because of this, Qin Shi turned around to return to the Sect Leader's Hall.
But at this moment, he felt dozens of cold gazes behind him. He couldn't help but shiver. When he turned around, he saw Ling Xiao and everyone else staring angrily at Qin Shi.
"Ahem, why are you looking at me like that?"
"What do you think?"
"Hmm …?" Qin Shi scratched his head in confusion.
Ling Xiao angrily rushed forward and pulled Qin Shi towards the Elder's Hall. "You brat, can't you be a little gentler next time? Even if you're the Sect Leader, shouldn't you feel sorry for us Elders?
You blew up the Elder's Hall like this. Where do you expect us to rest at night? "
Qin Shi suddenly understood. Looking at the Elder's Hall not far away, it had long become a sky full of ruins. Broken rocks and tiles, smoke billowed in the air, confusing one's eyes.
"Eh … this is good. Look at how beautiful the scene is … fireworks flying everywhere. Who are you charming for? Quicksand flying everywhere.
Who is haggard for you ~! "Qin Shi laughed foolishly.
But while he had the heart to snort, the Elders didn't. Seeing that they were going to sleep on the streets at night, they stepped forward and grabbed Qin Shi at the same time, refusing to let him go no matter what.
In the end, Qin Shi could only wave his hand and take out 50,000 top-grade spirit stones from Guang Mo's space ring as compensation to Ling Xiao. Only then was everyone satisfied.
Looking at Ling Xiao and the others dividing the spirit stones, Qin Shi cursed, "F * ck, fifty thousand! Just one Elder's Pavilion and you're extorting me for fifty thousand! You guys are even more evil than Guang Mo!"
No one paid attention to Qin Shi's complaints. Even Su Ming ran up to distribute the spirit stones. This made Qin Shi curse at them for having spirit stones but not having humanity.
When everyone was done distributing the spiritual stones, Qin Shi suddenly thought of something and walked to Ling Xiao, "Senior Ling Xiao, there's something that I would like to ask you. Do you know how Lin Yun obtained the Bloodbath Array?"
"Blood Bathing Formation?"
"Yes!"
"This, I have indeed heard a little about it."
Ling Xiao was silent for a while. "It is said that a person wearing a blood-red robe gave the Blood Bathing Formation to Lin Yun."
"You know the blood-red robe?" Qin Shi's brows widened. "What does the robe look like?"
"On it, there is a blood-red cloud!"
"What?" Qin Shi's eyes widened. "In the middle of the cloud, are there two pairs of blood-red eyes?"
