The atmosphere in the Moonlight Shore immediately froze. Everyone's gaze was focused on Qin Shi and Lin Yu. Zhou Qin was also anxious.
Qin Shi's body trembled. He narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Fine, I won't persuade you. However, there are a few things that you must listen to me. If you still want to go after that, I, Qin Shi, will not stop you!"
"What things?"
"Let me ask you, why did Lin Concubine go to the Lin Clan?
Doesn't she know that staying in the palace is safe?
Didn't she consider that Xiao Chong will harm her if she leaves the palace?
But why did she still disregard her own safety and go to the Lin Clan? "
Qin Shi enunciated each word with great force, causing the Moonlight Shore to become heavy. He growled, "I'm telling you because of you. I want you to sit on the throne. Now you're telling me that you don't want the throne anymore? Are you worthy of Lin Concubine's expectations of you?
Are you worthy of Lin Concubine's expectations of you?
Are you worthy of Lin Concubine doing this for you? "
"I …!" Lin Yu's mouth gaped open in shock.
Without waiting for Lin Yu to speak, Qin Shi took two steps forward and grabbed Lin Yu's collar. He said angrily, "Also, have you forgotten what Senior Xiao Yue said?
Have you forgotten what you promised her?
Now you're telling us that you don't want the throne anymore. Then tell me, if you give it up, Senior Xiao Yue will waste her spiritual energy and even endanger her life for you.
Why should I go against Xiao Chong?
If I knew you were like this, I would have promised Xue Bin back then. At the very least, my Qin Sect would not have to worry about food and clothing!
But now?
What can you give me?
What you can give me is to push the lives of millions of my Qin Sect disciples into an abyss of suffering! "
"You, have disappointed me!"
With that, Qin Shi let go of Lin Yu. A hint of despair flashed through his eyes as he shook his head.
These words caused Lin Yu to be completely stunned. His previous arrogance clearly weakened a little, and for a moment, he did not have any intention of leaving.
"But, but my mother, my mother is in danger now, what do you want me to do?
Should I sacrifice her for the sake of the throne?
If I sit on the throne because of her sacrifice, am I still human?
I'm not even comparable to a beast. This throne will make me feel like I'm sitting on pins and needles! "Lin Yu mumbled to himself as an anxious tear fell from the corner of his eye.
Zhou Qin's face turned pale. Over the past three years, Lin Yu had never cried no matter what kind of difficulties he had encountered, even when his life was in danger.
From this, it could be seen how helpless he was right now. He wished that he was the one rushing to the Lin Clan and that Xiao Chong wanted to assassinate him instead of the Lin Concubine.
When Lin Yu revealed his true feelings, Qin Shi's expression changed. He knew that the time was right. He retracted his sorrowful expression and stepped forward to pat Lin Yu's shoulder. "Who said that you have to sacrifice the Lin Concubine after ascending to the throne? If that's the case, then you are worse than a beast."
"Huh?" Lin Yu was stunned. "You have a plan?"
"Have you forgotten that you're not fighting alone? You still have us!" Qin Shi's expression was solemn and his lips curled into a confident smile.
Lin Yu was stunned. "What do you mean?"
"Hehe, you don't have to ask too much. Just tell me the location of the Lin Clan and you can stay in the Imperial City for the rest of your days. If you successfully take over the throne, I guarantee that you will have a safe and sound mother!" Qin Shi said with a smile.
Hearing this, Lin Yu looked up in realization. "You're saying that you want to go to the Lin Clan?"
"Yes, I don't think there's anyone more suitable than me, right?"
Qin Shi nodded his head. His gaze was biting cold as he looked into the distance. He revealed a ruthless killing aura, "Moreover, there are some grudges between me and the people who went to assassinate your mother this time. It is time to end this."
As Qin Shi said this, Hua Ling and Yu Luocha looked at each other helplessly. Hua Ling smiled. "Hehe, it looks like the three Great Generals of the Empire won't be able to return to the Imperial City alive after offending this little fellow."
The people who tried to assassinate the Lin Concubine were the three Great Generals of the Empire.
After a moment of silence, Lin Yu took a step forward. "Shi Tou, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said those words to you!"
"Hehe, so you still remember. What do you mean by severing ties? I'm telling you, you better be careful. If you really sever ties, Zhou Qin won't be my brother's wife anymore. She's such a good girl. You two haven't even gotten married yet. Maybe I'll pursue her too!"
Qin Shi interrupted the conversation. Actually, he could understand Lin Yu's thoughts. If it was Qiong Shuyao, he would probably go crazy too.
The reason why he pretended to be sorrowful was to calm Lin Yu down.
Lin Yu smiled knowingly and punched Qin Shi's chest. "We're brothers, so I won't say thanks to you. I'll leave my mother to you."
"Yes, tell me where the Lin Clan is first."
At the mention of the Lin Clan, Lin Yu's expression turned serious. "The Lin Clan is outside the Empire's border. Go east and you'll find a huge forest. Once you enter the forest, you'll be in the territory of the Lin Clan."
He paused for a moment. "But I don't think Xiao Chong will let my mother enter the forest. He'll probably ambush her outside the Empire."
"East?"
Qin Shi's eyes narrowed and he nodded seriously. "Alright, this is urgent. I'll go there now."
"Wait!"
At this moment, Lin Yu's eyes flickered and he took off a token from his waist. On it was a huge "Lin" character. He handed it to Qin Shi. "Just in case, take this. It's the symbol of the Lin Clan. If you see my mother or someone from the Lin Clan, show them this and they'll know who you are."
Qin Shi nodded his head and took the token. When he hung it on his waist, it just so happened to collide with the other token on his waist, producing a buzzing sound.
Hearing this, he could not help but be stunned. Only then did he see that there was another token hanging on his waist. On it was a golden jade waist token with golden edges. This waist token was given to him by Heavenly Rain back in the Burning Heaven Mystery Land. He had kept it on him all these years.
Looking at the token, he couldn't help but think of Yu Luo Tian. If it wasn't for this opportunity, his body would have exploded and he wouldn't have obtained one of the three great martial arts, the Sweet Torrential Rain Technique.
Back then, he promised Yu Luo Tian that he wouldn't let the Sweet Torrential Rain Technique be disgraced. He wondered if he had fulfilled his promise now.
After pondering for a while, he restrained himself from thinking too much. Then, he turned around to bid farewell to everyone and prepared to go to the Lin Clan.
"I'll go with you!"
Before Qin Shi could speak, Yu Luocha spoke first. She had just reunited with Qin Shi and didn't want to experience the pain of separation again.
Stunned for a moment, Qin Shi and Yu Luocha looked at each other. Looking at Yu Luocha's misty phoenix eyes, the words of rejection at the tip of his tongue were dispelled. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "Alright, let's go together."
Yu Luocha and Qin Shi would go together. Hua Ling was silent for a while and said, "Little guy, do you want me to send some disciples from the Mystical Palace to help you?"
Qin Shi smiled and shook his head, "No need. The new king election will be held in three days. When the number of votes in each region is the same, Xiao Chong will definitely not let it go. I think the imperial city will need you more."
After a moment of silence, Hua Ling nodded. If it was in the past, she might be worried. But she believed that with Qin Shi's current strength, he would be able to defeat the few small forces in the empire.
Destroy the old instant?
At this moment, her beautiful eyes suddenly turned cold. She looked at the clear sky far away from the Moonlight Shore and sneered, "Haha, looks like someone wants to send you off before you leave."
"Huh?"
Qin Shi's Mental Energy spread out when he heard this. He immediately frowned.
Soon, a magnificent spiritual pressure pressed down from the Ninth Heaven and wrapped the entire Moonlight Shore in it.
In the sky, a series of phantoms flew past. There were at least a dozen mighty figures in the sky with their hands clasped behind their backs. This group of people all wore brown robes, and the center of their robes was embroidered with the word 'Lao'.
"Are they from the Laoshan Sect?" Lin Yu was stunned and said, "What's going on?"
Qin Shi stared at the dozen people in silence for a while and looked at Hua Ling snappily, "It's your doing, isn't it?"
Under the gaze of Qin Shi, Hua Ling shrugged her shoulders and smiled, "Since you don't need the help of the Mystical Palace, I will leave this group of people to you. Let me see if you have the ability to protect my sister."
"You …!"
Qin Shi gritted his teeth and had an impulse to curse, but he suppressed it in the end. He raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Then you shall see!"
After saying that, he jumped out of the Moonlight Shore.
"Shi Tou!"
Yu Luocha was worried. These people were all above the Heaven Realm, and there were even two Two Heavens Realm experts among them.
Unexpectedly, before Yu Luocha could step forward, Hua Ling raised her hand and grabbed her wrist, "Don't worry, it's just a small matter.
Patrolling Gu?
Helping Muba?
In a panic, Wu Xinye asked for Mei Gu's forgiveness!
Leaping into the clear sky, Qin Shi wrapped himself in his black robe and glanced at the dozen people. Actually, even if Hua Ling didn't say it, he also had this plan. After all, there was still some hatred between the Qin Sect and the Laoshan Sect.
He was a person who could clearly distinguish between gratitude and grudges. He would always remember the kindness that others had shown him and repay it tenfold. As for hatred, it was the same. However, it wasn't as simple as tenfold, it was a thousandfold.
He steadied himself and looked around. In the end, his gaze landed on the few people leading the Laoshan Sect and he smiled, "Hehe, everyone, why did you come here with such great fanfare?"
"Humph, kid, it's none of your business. We are looking for those people in red. Just now, they injured many of our Laoshan Sect disciples. Today, they must pay with their blood!"
Among the dozen people, the leader was an old man over fifty years old. His gaze swept across the area and he charged forward.
Bang!
Just as his body moved, Qin Shi seemed to have expected it. He moved downwards and happened to block in front of the old man. He raised his fist and a spiritual might surged. "Hehe, this won't do. If I let you go down just like that, wouldn't I lose too much face?"
Rumble!
The violent collision caused the old man to be forced back a few steps, and the ruthlessness in his old eyes that were like needles pierced straight at Qin Shi's chest as he said furiously, "Brat, you're courting death!"
"The ones who should die are you."
Facing the old man's expression, Qin Shi wasn't afraid at all. He just scoffed coldly and the smile on his face disappeared. It turned into a fierce killing intent and his entire aura changed.
"Bewitching Spirit Amaterasu!"
Indifferent, his black eyes focused. This time, he didn't hold back at all and used his full strength because he knew that what he needed now was an absolute suppression.
Rumble!
His hand flipped and a black sun swallowed the clear sky from the nine heavens. Everything within a thousand meters turned into nothingness as tens of thousands of black rays shot out.
Rumble!
Once the Bewitching Spirit Amaterasu appeared, the Laoshan Sect disciples were shocked, "This power, is it a grade seven martial art?"
"Bewitching Spirit Amaterasu?
Kid, you are the Qin Sect Sect Leader? "The old man was the first to come back to his senses. His muddy eyes opened wide.
Qin Shi's lips curled up, "Hehe, since you guessed it, then you should know that I, Qin Shi, am a man of my words. If I say that I want you to die, then you will die!"
Bang!
Then, he flipped his palm and a fierce power surged. The sky was filled with black rays that were like thousands of swords returning to their roots, swallowing everyone from the Laoshan Sect.
Rumble!
In the blink of an eye, more than ten Heaven Realm cultivators died in Qin Shi's hands. Such a clean and efficient manner shocked everyone.
"Hall Master Spirit Flower, are you satisfied with my appearance?
If you are, I will take Luosha away. "
In the next instant, Qin Shi's bright laughter rang out from the sky. When he turned around again, he had already hugged Yu Luocha tightly and fled towards the east of the royal city.
