BOOM!
More than ten experts suddenly self-destructed, causing countless people to panic. Among them, there were no lack of two Heaven Seizing Realm orange soldiers. The power caused by the explosion formed a huge shockwave in the air, causing the ground below to tremble.
Under the aftermath, Ling Xiao and the others became serious and hurriedly shouted to the elders below, "Elders, follow me and activate the sect protecting formation!"
Mo Chen, Elder Xun, and the others stepped forward at the same time, releasing all of the spiritual energy in their bodies, forming a huge net that rose up from the four corners of the Qin Sect.
The Qin Sect's sect protecting formation was a formation left behind by the Lihuo Sect. Furthermore, with the modifications of Jade In The Book, its terrifying defensive capabilities made even the sect protecting formation of the Burning Heaven Sect inferior to it.
BOOM!
A barrier covered in ripples and ancient patterns, like a giant turtle shell, protected the area around Qin Zong. It directly collided with the aftermath of the fall in the sky, producing an abnormally terrifying power at the gap of ten thousand meters in the sky.
Staring at the dust that filled the sky, Mo Chen said bitterly, "Looks like this time, the Sect Leader is truly angry. After today, the relationship between the Qin Sect and the empire will no longer be able to mediate."
"That might not be the case."
Ling Xiao interrupted Mo Chen with a strange expression, "Could it be that you have forgotten about that person?"
"That person?"
A few of the former elders of the Lihuo Sect frowned, and were immediately shocked: "Could it be that you mean Prince Lin Yu?"
Nodding his head with a smile, Ling Xiao said, "The two little fellows of the past have extraordinary identities now. I think that in a few years, this Crimson Flame Empire will belong to the two of them."
For a moment, the few of them were overwhelmed with shock.
The shockwave lasted for about an hour before dissipating. A broken figure fell straight down from the sky like a kite with its string cut.
Bang!
The figure directly fell to the ground, revealing a dusty face. Wasn't it Xue Bin?
Swoosh!
Qin Shi sped down and landed in front of Xue Bin, "Brother Xue, looks like this time, you've lost again."
Xue Bin scrambled to his feet. The violent explosion just now had caused him to suffer extremely serious injuries. He spat out mouthfuls of blood and glared at Qin Shi. "Shi Shi, what are you trying to do?
Don't forget, this is the Qin Sect. If you kill me here, the Qin Sect might not agree! "
Just as he was about to step forward, Qin Shi was stunned by Xue Bin's words. He couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Haha, you really know how to build connections for yourself. Then ask them if they allow it."
After saying that, Qin Shi stopped in his tracks and deliberately extended his hand, indicating for Xue Bin to question him.
Qin Shi's actions caused Xue Bin to be taken aback, but he could not care less. Spotting Ling Xiao's figure in the crowd, he hurriedly said, "Elder Ling Xiao, quickly stop this beast! As long as you help me kill him, the Empire will definitely not mistreat the Qin Organization!"
Ling Xiao frowned and said coldly, "I remember young master Xue saying before that as long as the Qin Organization does not interfere with the grudges between the two of you, you will leave a great gift for the Qin Organization. Now that I have not seen the gift, do you still want me to believe your empty words?"
Hearing this, Xue Bin's face turned ashen. Clenching his teeth, he waved his hand and boxes after boxes of high quality spirit stones appeared from his Space Ring. There were more than ten million of them. "These ten million spirit stones are to fulfill the great gift I just promised. As long as you help me kill this beast, I am willing to pay three times the reward. How about it?"
Staring at the ten million spirit stones, many people's expressions changed and their tongues went dry. Qin Shi was also quite surprised, thinking to himself, Haha, this Empire is really rich. Last time, I just cheated him out of fifty million spirit stones, and now he can casually take out ten million spirit stones?
Ling Xiao's eyes were sharp and his hands were quick. He took a step forward and collected the ten million spirit stones, laughing, "Haha, young master Xue is truly generous. My Qin Organization will accept these ten million spirit stones."
Seeing that Ling Xiao had accepted the spirit stones, Xue Bin's nervous heart visibly relaxed. But before he could speak again, Ling Xiao's next words caused his heart to sink to the bottom of the valley, "However, I'm afraid my Qin Organization will not be able to enjoy the three times the reward."
"Why?"
Xue Bin roared in confusion, "As long as you promise me, I will immediately hand over the thirty million spirit stones. When His Highness Fang Heng ascends to the throne, the Empire will also support the Qin Organization. At that time, not only will you be able to stabilize your position as the overlord of the north, you will also be able to continue to grow in the Empire. Why not?"
"Haha, let alone thirty million, even if it was three hundred million spirit stones, do you think I would kill our sect leader for you?"
Ling Xiao scoffed and pushed Xue Bin away. He walked in front of Qin Shi and handed over the ten million spirit stones, "Sect leader, how do you want to distribute these spirit stones?"
Qin Shi was very satisfied with Ling Xiao's method. He smiled and waved his hand, "Qin Organization has just stabilized, there are many areas that need spirit stones. You can keep these."
"Sect leader?"
Hearing the conversation between the two, Xue Bin's body trembled. He suddenly raised his head, "You, you are the Qin Organization's sect leader?
How is this possible?
Isn't the Qin Organization's sect leader Shi Qin? "
"Turn it around and read it."
"Turn it around?" Xue Bin was stunned. He muttered to himself, "Shi Qin … Qin Shi …!"
As soon as the two words "Qin Shi" left his mouth, his face twitched and he fell limp. He pointed at Qin Shi and said in disbelief, "You … You are Qin Shi?"
"You want to take my sect leader's life in the Qin Organization? You really don't know what you're talking about." Mo Chen had endured for a long time. Finally, he could no longer hold it in and scolded sarcastically.
The truth was out. Xue Bin panicked like never before.
He had never expected that he would do such a humiliating thing. He timidly looked around and felt the hundreds of mocking gazes. He trembled and said, "So, you've planned this from the beginning. You've been scheming against me from the beginning?
Qin Organization, aren't you afraid of the empire's revenge? "
Hearing this, Qin Shi took a step forward and stared at Xue Bin with a smile, "Let's not talk about the empire not knowing about this. Even if the empire knew, what could they do?
Don't forget, who will be the emperor of the empire in the future is still unknown! "
Xue Bin's heart sank. His eyes were lifeless and he fell limp to the ground.
"Sect leader, what should we do with him next?" Mo Chen glanced at Xue Bin, who was in a daze, and asked, "Kill him?"
"There's no rush."
Qin Shi waved his hand and walked in front of Xue Bin. He still had a playful appearance as he half squatted down and said, "Brother Xue, tell me. There is a path to heaven, but you refuse to take it. Instead, you barge into hell where there is no door. You really can't blame me …" Qin Shi's expression suddenly withdrew when he spoke to this point. He grabbed Xue Bin's neck and angrily rebuked, "Speak, what is your second plan?"
"I don't know!"
Being grabbed by Qin Shi, Xue Bin howled in agony.
"You don't know?"
Qin Shi narrowed his eyes and exerted more force. A few veins popped out. The surrounding people had no doubt that as long as Qin Shi exerted more force, Xue Bin's neck would immediately be broken. "This is the last time. Are you going to speak or not?"
"Haha, hahaha."
After struggling for a while, Xue Bin gave up and suddenly laughed maniacally, "Good, good, good. Qin Shi, Shi Qin, at least you are capable. I, Xue Bin, have fallen into your hands today. I know you will definitely not let me go. However, you want to know our second plan?
Bah, impossible! "
Xue Bin's words completely infuriated Qin Shi. Qin Shi's patience was also gradually worn out. He knew that it was impossible to get any information from Xue Bin. Because of this, a golden light wrapped around his finger and gathered rolling lightning. "Since you are courting death, I will fulfill your wish."
Bang!
Intense pain spread from Xue Bin's body, causing him to involuntarily twitch a few times. In the end, he shouted with all his might, "Qin Shi, don't think that everything will end like this if you kill me. His Highness Fang Heng will ascend to the throne, Lin Yu will die, and the Qin Sect will be destroyed. Hehe, hahaha, this is just the beginning!"
Rumble!
Before his voice faded away, a violent explosion resounded. Xue Bin's torso suddenly trembled and was pierced by the lightning. A huge bloody hole appeared on his chest, announcing the end of his life.
The surrounding people glanced at each other, but no one said anything.
After angrily killing Xue Bin, Qin Shi's expression was extremely ugly. He took a deep breath.
Jade In The Book came forward and said with concern, "Shi Tou, don't worry. Xiao Yu is lucky and has a long life. He should be fine. Besides, there is still nearly a month before the new emperor ascends to the throne. Maybe Hua Ling has already found out about their plan from the imperial prison."
Letting out a long sigh, Qin Shi nodded. He knew that now was not the time to be angry. Instead, he should calm down. Only then would he be able to help Lin Yu.
Ling Xiao, Cen Chi, Pu Quan, He Yan, and Qin Yongfeng looked at each other. After all, the person they had just killed was someone from the Empire. So, there were some ripples in their hearts.
"Sovereign, killing this Xue Bin is equivalent to declaring war with the Empire. What should we do next?" Ling Xiao asked after a moment of silence.
Changing his expression, Qin Shi's gaze swept across everyone's faces. He said seriously, "Elder Ling Xiao, Elder Cen Chi, in the next few days, choose fifty experts from the sect. Then, let them prepare. One month later, they will go to the Empire to participate in the election of the new emperor. As for who they should vote for, Elder Ling Xiao should know."
Hearing this, Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment. Then, he smiled bitterly and nodded. Qin Shi and Lin Yu were in Lihuo Sect. He had seen them grow up with his own eyes. So, the relationship between the two of them was self-evident.
However, it seemed that what he had said before was wrong. Three years ago, he thought that Qin Shi was lucky to be able to climb up to the rich and famous Lin Yu. However, who would have thought that three years later, the scene would be like this? Now, whether or not Lin Yu could successfully ascend the throne would depend on this good brother of his.
"What about you, Shi Er?" Qin Tianqing asked worriedly.
After a moment of silence, Qin Shi smiled faintly, "Me?
I have my own plans. I will leave for a few days and return to the Imperial Capital in one month. I'm sure it will be another fierce battle. "
Everyone looked at each other and nodded helplessly. Right now, they could no longer keep up with Qin Shi's thoughts. However, they believed that Qin Shi would not act recklessly.
