Rumble!
It was as if the Qilin Clan had collapsed. The previous battle stage was blasted into smithereens by hundreds of golden light relics. The dust and sand mixed into the air, causing the onlookers below the stage to frown and hurriedly turn their heads away.
"How is it?
Is it over? "
Lin Biao was the first to react. He looked like he was going crazy. He let the wind and sand hit his face. He stared at the ruined battle stage and searched for traces.
What a joke. This was a bet of tens of millions of spiritual stones.
After half an hour, the dust was gradually blown away by the wind. A thin figure could be seen on the battle stage. The figure was wrapped in a black robe and had a faint smile on his face.
"Young Master Mo, it seems like your life is mine from now on." Qin Shi's laughter echoed in the Lin Clan as he knelt down.
In front of him was a battered and exhausted figure. Mo Qingfeng's white robe was already torn to shreds. His half-naked body was covered in blood. It was a tragic sight.
"You, if you dare to kill me, my master will not let you go." Mo Qingfeng was scared. He was really scared. This was the first time he was so close to death.
Lin Yi and the others looked at each other and leaped onto the battle stage.
Although Mo Qingfeng's request to Lin Cui 'er was very excessive and angered the Lin Clan, he was still the disciple of the Cloud Mist Taoist. The Lin Clan was not afraid of Mo Qingfeng, but they couldn't ignore the Cloud Mist Taoist.
Hence, no matter what, Lin Yi couldn't let Mo Qingfeng die in the Lin Clan. He persuaded, "Clan Leader Qin, can you give me some face and let Young Master Mo go? You can attend the Lin Clan's Hundred Clan Warrior Competition."
"Lin Family Head, now that I've won the competition and know that I'm capable, you want me to attend the Hundred Clan Hero Competition of the Lin Clan and even want me to do you a favor by letting this bastard who humiliated me go?"
At this point, Qin Shi smiled coldly and said, "Hehe, this is a good plan. However, let me be honest with you. If it wasn't for the Lin Concubine, do you think I would be willing to participate in this Hundred Race Hero Competition?
Did you give me any benefits for attending?
Do you regret it now?
What did you say about me before? "
Towards Lin Yi, Qin Shi wasn't the slightest bit courteous. He remembered all the humiliation and contempt in the conference hall, but he didn't say anything at that time. That was because he understood the saying that a gentleman's revenge was a dish best served cold.
At that time, not only would Lin Yi be powerless to refute, but he would also be mocking him even more. He might as well do it now and use his strength to slap Lin Yi's mouth.
"This …!" Lin Yi's heart sank.
He also knew that he had gone overboard with his previous actions. In the end, he looked at the Lin Concubine helplessly and said, "Mo 'er, what do you think about this …!"
Under her father's awkward gaze, the Lin Concubine frowned.
She knew Qin Shi very well. She could tell that Qin Shi was really angry this time.
He came to help out of goodwill, yet he was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs. Who would feel good if they were in his shoes?
However, in the end, the Lin Concubine still stepped forward. After all, this matter concerned the future of the Lin Clan. "Shi Tou, do you think this matter can be …!"
"No!"
Qin Shi decisively interrupted the Lin Concubine. His black eyes didn't stay on the Lin Concubine for a moment and moved towards Lin Cui 'er.
However, when facing Lin Cui 'er, he became a lot gentler. This was because this girl couldn't help but remind him of two people. One was Luo Tingting, Luo Xuexian's younger sister and the second daughter of the Luo Clan. The other was Xiao Yuyan, the little girl who was massacred when he first went to the Eastern Region. They were about the same age.
Moreover, the demon also told Qin Shi that Mo Qingfeng wanted Lin Cui 'er to be his concubine. Because of this, Qin Shi gently touched Lin Cui' er's nose and said, "Little sister, I'll leave this person to you. You can do whatever you want with him. If you want him to die first, I guarantee that he won't live past the next second."
Upon hearing this, the Lin Concubine and the others were shocked. They all knew Qin Shi's temper. If Lin Cui 'er said that she wanted Mo Qingfeng to die, then Qin Shi would definitely kill Mo Qingfeng. No one could stop him.
"Cui …"
"Shut up!" Lin Yi was about to open his mouth, but Qin Shi fiercely glared at him. His eyes flashed like a sharp sword.
This time, Lin Yi couldn't say anything more.
"Little sister, what do you want to do with him?"
Unexpectedly, under Qin Shi's question, Lin Cui 'er's two pink fists were clenched in front of her chest. She said in a sad voice, "Let him go."
"Huh?" Qin Shi frowned and said, "Why?
He took advantage of the situation and forced you to be his concubine. Don't you want to kill him? "
"Yes, but he can't die. If he dies, Grandpa will be unhappy. If Grandpa is unhappy, I won't be happy either. His life is not as important as Grandpa's happiness."
A very clear but very real voice came from Lin Cui 'er's small mouth.
Many people were shocked. No one had expected that such a young child would be able to think of such a comprehensive plan.
Qin Shi's heart trembled. He didn't know why, but these few short sentences made him inexplicably like Lin Cui 'er. This kind of like was not out of love between a man and a woman, but the kind of affection that a big brother would have for his little sister.
"Phew …!"
Qin Shi let out a breath and nodded. His black eyes fell on Lin Yi. He paused for about half a second and said, "You have a good granddaughter."
After saying this, Qin Shi didn't stay any longer. He jumped down from the battle platform and walked away alone.
After Qin Shi left, Lin Yi didn't know why, but his heart felt empty. He looked in the direction where the black robe disappeared and thought to himself, "This child is extraordinary. If I let him grow up, he will definitely become a dragon among men. It seems that my Lin Clan missed this rare opportunity."
"Young Master Mo, I'm sorry about what happened before. The fourth place of the Lin Clan's Hundred Clan Hero Competition will be taken by Lord Qin. There is no need to trouble you." Lin Concubine stepped forward and said to Mo Qingfeng in a humble manner.
Mo Qingfeng got up with blood at the corner of his mouth.
"Good, good, good Lin Clan. I will remember this. I will definitely make your Lin Clan pay the price." After cursing, Mo Qingfeng left with a trail of dust.
Following his departure, the expressions of the Lin Clan members turned ugly.
In the evening, Qin Shi rested in a room made of towering spiritual wood. Although he wasn't injured in the previous confrontation with Mo Qingfeng, he had used up a lot of energy. He needed to replenish his energy.
This rest lasted for three days. During these three days, the various elders of the Lin Clan, including the Clan Leader, Lin Yi, came to visit. Just the fact that Qin Shi was a Soul Incantation Talisman Sorcerer was enough for the Lin Clan to take him seriously.
However, Qin Shi didn't have a friendly attitude towards them.
"Brat, no matter what, the Lin Clan is still the family of Lin Concubine. Don't you think you are going too far?" The evil demon couldn't stand it anymore.
Hearing this, Qin Shi laughed. "Oh, Heaven Devouring Demon Venerable also has times when he understands people?"
"You …!" The evil demon was furious.
Unexpectedly, Qin Shi became more serious. "It's not that I'm going too far. I just want the Lin Clan to understand that they will never be respected if they lower their heads to others. Can't you see that?
The current Lin clan is a little too weak. I can protect them now, but I can't protect them forever. However, I've promised Luo Sha and Lin Yu that I'll protect the Lin family, so only by making the Lin clan realize this and strengthen themselves can they stand firm in the Hundred Races Realm where martial prowess reigns supreme. "
The evil demon was a little surprised. He didn't expect Qin Shi to think further. He laughed. "Brat, you really think you're smart. It's always like this in the Barren Spirit Continent. The weak bow down to the strong. Besides, you're only at the Three-Heavens Realm, while Lin Yi is at the Five-Heavens Realm. You still want to teach others?"
"Don't I have you?"
Qin Shi pouted. "With you here, even if I fight Lin Yi now, I'm confident I can win. Do you think I'm stupid?
If this angers that Lin Yi, and he falls out with me in the end, wouldn't I still be chased and beaten by people? "
"You're scheming against me again?" The evil demon glared.
"Hehe, who's scheming against you?"
Qin Shi laughed and became much more serious. "But I'm telling the truth. I can't stay here for long. I'll leave after the Hundred Races Competition ends."
"After we find the Fortune Cathaya," the evil demon added.
Qin Shi nodded his head. He would definitely snatch the Fortune Cathaya for the evil demon. Hence, he did not argue with him. He stretched his numb body, got up, and walked out of the room.
"What are you doing?"
"Collecting my debt!"
After spitting out those two words, Qin Shi pushed open the door and walked out, heading straight for the room Lin Biao was in. "This bastard, he used my life to earn tens of millions. No matter what, I have to get a share."
At the thought of what Lin Biao had done, Qin Shi was seething with anger.
Unexpectedly, the moment he stepped into the room, Lin Biao greeted him with a smile. "Aiya, God of Fortune, you're here. Quick, quick, these spirit stones are all yours."
Qin Shi was about to get angry, but when he saw the sparkling tens of millions of spirit stones, he calmed down. He nodded and kept the spirit stones.
"Useless!" The evil demon scolded helplessly.
"It's already like this, as long as I can make money." Qin Shi couldn't be bothered to argue with the evil demon. He was originally looking for revenge, but he actually became friends with Lin Biao.
After leaving Lin Biao's residence, the Lin Clan was on guard for the next half a month. Even if others didn't say it, Qin Shi knew that it was definitely against Daoist Cloudy Mist.
But surprisingly, after half a month, Daoist Cloudy Mist and Mo Qingfeng didn't come looking for trouble. Instead, the Lin Clan fell into a strange peace.
During this time, Lin Concubine reported about the Dragon Clan to Lin Yi. She also knew why Qin Shi was here, and her gratitude towards Qin Shi grew stronger.
Fang Xin and her sisters also returned to their respective clans to make preparations to prevent the Dragon Clan from attacking.
Because of this, Qin Shi was at ease. Every day, he cultivated in a room made of towering spiritual wood. After half a month of hard work, his Three Heavens Realm was completely stabilized, and he had already begun to break through to the Four Heavens Realm.
In his spare time, Qin Shi would also accompany Lin Cui 'er. Lin Cui' er always gave Qin Shi a sense of familiarity, especially when it came to Xiao Yuyan.
"A girl with no one to rely on, where would she go?"
Qin Shi shook his head. When the imperial city was under construction, he returned to Anlu Village, but Xiao Yuyan was long gone. He also went to the imperial prison at the border to ask, but there was still no news.
"I hope the heavens will look after her."
Shaking his head helplessly, Qin Shi sat on the bed and turned over, wanting to rest.
Knock, knock, knock!
At this time, there were a few knocks on the door.
