Black mist rose in spirals.
It filled the sky above Green Lotus City.
Under the cover of the black mist, the Heaven Breaking Talisman that had caused the crowd to panic did not cause any explosion. Instead, it seemed to have disappeared into thin air.
Everyone stared at the dispersing black mist and widened their eyes. "What, what's going on?
Where did this black mist come from? "
"I don't know. But how terrifying is the power needed to block the three-layered Heaven Breaking Talisman that Hua Ling refined?"
"It's that brat with the surname Shi!"
A person shouted. The crowd looked up at Qin Shi at the same time. Due to the activation of the Demon Blood, Qin Shi's body was surrounded by a murderous aura.
Under the gazes of tens of thousands of people, Qin Shi frowned.
Perhaps the others didn't know, but he was very clear that the murderous aura that blocked the Heaven Breaking Talisman was not the demonic power at all. If he guessed correctly, the source of this power should be … the murderer, Misty Shadow?
Realizing this, Qin Shi's eyes opened and closed as he rapidly expanded his invisible mental energy. Under the mental energy's range of ten thousand meters, indeed, in a corner of a street in Green Lotus City, a figure shrouded in fog entered his consciousness.
"It's really him!"
Ruthlessness flashed in his eyes. Qin Shi rolled up his black robe and wanted to chase after him.
But at this moment, a disciple of the Taishi Clan raised his head and shouted at Taishi Tinghua, "Miss, Huangpu Jiang ran away with Li Bufan's corpse!"
"What?"
Taishi Tinghua frowned. She wasn't the only one who was panicking. Even Nangong Yue Yang became nervous.
If Huangpu Jiang spread the news of the two clans attacking the Mystical Palace, the Mystical Palace would definitely not let them go. "Catch him, don't let him escape!"
Qin Shi's black eyes narrowed. This news forced him, who originally wanted to chase after the Misty Shadow, to retract his thoughts. He didn't care if Huangpu Jiang ran away or not. It was impossible to hide the matter from the Mystical Palace anymore, but he had to keep Li Bufan's corpse. Sister Yu had not been found yet.
"There will always be people who are stupid enough to court death!"
A cold light flashed in the deepest part of his eyes. Before the two clans could move, a black shadow shot out like a sharp sword.
Bang!
In the next instant, a violent explosion resounded in the dense forest outside the eastern part of Green Lotus City. Birds and beasts scattered in all directions, and a natural chasm split the yellow earth like an abyss.
Huangpu Jiang was running with Li Bufan in his arms. Before he could react, he staggered and was sent flying a thousand meters away.
He looked up in horror. Qin Shi, wrapped in a black robe, was already standing in front of him. "You, what are you doing?"
"Hehe, old man, I've just taught you how to speak human language, and now you're starting to forget about human relations?"
"Then report to the King of Hell!"
Qin Shi tilted his neck, and the cold air between his teeth could be seen clearly.
Whoosh!
The mist-shrouded killing intent materialized into a sword and pierced Huangpu Jiang's throat. He didn't even have a chance to explain before his eyes rolled up and he fainted.
After killing Huangpu Jiang, Qin Shi stepped forward and removed Li Bufan's interspatial ring.
After erasing Li Bufan's imprint, Qin Shi probed it with his telekinesis. Li Bufan's interspatial ring had a huge space of more than a hundred cubic meters.
Among them, there were more than four million high-grade spirit stones.
There were all kinds of spiritual herbs, beast cores, and mystical weapons.
After rummaging through the interspatial ring, an ancient book fell into Qin Shi's sight. It was the Wordless Heavenly Book that appeared in the Doorless Auction House.
After that, it was the rank seven martial art, Phantom Amaterasu.
However, to Qin Shi, these were not things that he cared about. He rummaged through the interspatial ring, but in the end, he couldn't help but frown. "Nothing?"
Withdrawing his telekinesis, he squatted down and searched Li Bufan's body. However, he still couldn't find anything, which made him panic. "Damn it!
Why isn't there anything? "
"Where are you?!"
Under the atmosphere, Qin Shi's chaotic thoughts stirred up a killing intent that pierced through Li Bufan's chest like a sharp sword. In the blink of an eye, thousands of holes appeared on Li Bufan's chest.
In the end, he still couldn't find Fen Shu.
"Sister Yu, where are you … Don't scare me!
Where are you?! "
Qin Shi's fists were clenched so tightly that they creaked.
"Sister Yu, is she someone important to you?"
In the panic, he suddenly heard a beautiful and alluring voice, which was mixed with gentleness.
Looking up, it was a woman whose face couldn't be seen clearly. She was wearing a scarlet shaman costume, revealing only a pair of long and narrow phoenix eyes, which were slightly sad.
"Who are you?"
Qin Shi instantly became vigilant. Just now, his spiritual power covered the entire area, but this woman was able to quietly approach him?
Even some heavenly realm powerhouses couldn't do it, right?
"Answer me, I might be able to help you!"
"You can help me?"
"Tell me, is this Big Sister Yu someone very important to you?" The woman didn't answer. Instead, she asked again in a gentle voice.
Qin Shi was silent for a moment. "Very important!"
"If you were asked to die for her, would you be willing?"
"I would!"
Qin Shi responded almost without thinking, which was the truest portrayal of his heart.
Hearing the resolute response, the woman's beautiful eyes suddenly flashed a trace of complexity, and then she was silent for a long time. "If you are not afraid of death, go to Xuan Temple. She is in Xuan Temple!"
"Xuan Temple?"
Qin Shi's heart trembled, and he frowned. "Who are you?
How do you know that Sister Yu is in Xuan Temple? "
"Who am I?
When you get to Xuan Temple, you will naturally know! "
The woman smiled brightly. As she blinked her phoenix eyes that could tug at one's heartstrings, the space around her trembled, and she actually vanished into thin air before Qin Shi.
"Hey!
Don't go! "
Qin Shi's black eyes narrowed, and he clenched his teeth. He suddenly rushed forward, but his hands were empty.
Everything came and went quickly. If it weren't for the leaves still dancing on the ground, he would even think that everything that had just appeared was an illusion.
After being stunned for a long time, Qin Shi raised his head and looked at the warm sun buried in the west. After a long time, a cold light flashed in his eyes. "Xuan Temple?"
"Sister Yu, wait for me, I will come to save you soon!"
With a flicker, he fled back to Qinglian City.
But he didn't know that just after he left, the leaves on the ground rolled up, and the woman in red appeared again.
The bleak cold wind faintly blew her red cloak, and a strand of snow-white hair that didn't match her age danced in the air, drawing a unique arc.
"Are you so sure that he dares to come?"
The woman squinted her beautiful eyes tenderly, letting her snow-white hair flutter in the wind. She waved her hand in the air, and an ancient book fell into her hand.
"Haha, I believe in him!"
From the book, a familiar voice came. Wasn't that the voice of Jade In The Book that Qin Shi had been looking for for a long time?
"In fact, sometimes, I quite hope that he can retreat, but for him, the people around him are more important than the sky. So, you won't understand that if you take me to Xuan Temple, no matter how many thorns there are in front of him, he will definitely come!"
"Tsk, good confidence. Then I will wait for him to come to Xuan Temple. I want to see if your relationship is as strong as you said, and can it transcend the separation of life and death?
What a joke! "
The woman's voice suddenly became stern, and a flash of light flashed in her beautiful eyes. Within tens of thousands of miles, a magnificent hostility rolled up, and then the surrounding ancient trees decayed.
In the decay, hundreds of flowers withered.
…
Back to Qinglian City.
Qin Shi's mood was slightly heavy.
When he returned to the Doorless Auction House, it had been cleaned by the stewards under Yuan Bo's arrangement, and the rubble had been removed.
But even so, the collapsed pavilions, the cracked ground, and the dead people could never be restored.
Every time this happened, Qin Shi always felt a pain in his heart, but he knew that he could only feel a little heartache at most. He couldn't change anything.
Seeing Qin Shi return, Taishi Tinghua and Nangong Yueyang descended from the sky, "Young Master Shi, where is Huangpu Jiang?
Where is he? "
"Dead!"
Qin Shi replied indifferently.
"Dead?"
The people in front were startled, but immediately relaxed, "That's good. Otherwise, if we keep him alive, he will be trouble sooner or later."
Xu Qiaoer squeezed out from the crowd, "Brother, where is Sister Yu?"
Hiss!
Feeling a pain in his heart, Qin Shi forced a smile and hid it from Qiao 'er, "In the spatial ring. She is injured, let her rest!"
Staring at Qin Shi, Xu Qiaoer didn't feel much, but because of the crowd, she couldn't say much, so she just nodded and said, "Um."
Just like that, the farce ended.
But because of this, Qin Shi also caused a sensation in the entire Qinglian City.
At night, Taishi Tinghua and Nangong Yueyang came to bid farewell to Qin Shi with their disciples and invited Qin Shi to visit them when he was free.
Qin Shi agreed readily. He originally wanted to ask Nangong Yueyang about Nangong Bing, but after thinking for a while, he didn't ask.
"Let's go to the Nangong Family when we have the chance."
Looking at the crowd that was getting further and further away, Qin Shi didn't know what to say.
After the two families left, Yuan Bo dragged Qin Shi to hold a banquet in the Doorless Auction House.
Qin Shi hesitated and shook his head, "Boss Yuan, let's go to the Green Lotus Restaurant. I promised Sister Lian that I would go there tonight. Consider it my hospitality today."
"The Green Lotus Restaurant?"
Yuan Bo was startled. But before he could say anything, Xiao Shan approached him, "Brother Stone, are you serious?
Are we really going to the Green Lotus Restaurant tonight? "
"Um?" Qin Shi nodded in puzzlement.
Getting a response, Xiao Shan immediately puffed out his chest excitedly, "That's great. Damn it. The female yaksha is usually very strict. Let's see what she can say this time."
With a hearty laugh, Xiao Shan turned around and waved his hand to the disciples of the Xiao Family, "You guys can go back. You know what to say to the female yaksha, right?"
"Patriarch … aren't you going to take us there?"
The few Xiao Clan disciples revealed bitter expressions at the same time. Qin Shi could not help but be stunned by their reluctance to part. "Heh, it seems like it's not just this pair of father and son. Even the servants in the clan are like this?
Sigh, the family's conduct is not good. "
Xiao Shan didn't agree with them in the end. Helplessly, the disciples of the Xiao Family left one after another. Then, Xiao Shan looked around and said in surprise, "Hey, Little Friend Stone, where is my disappointing son?"
"Um?"
Hearing that, Qin Shi frowned. Soon after, he looked around and suddenly found that not only Xiao Tianyue, Feng Hen, Xiao Xuan, and the other three were also not here.
"Big Brother, we are here."
