As for Long Xuan's blatant threat, Qin Shi didn't take it to heart.
To him, now that he had one hundred and sixty million spirit stones, he would worry about the future. He should spend his money today.
"Come, come, come. It's time to split the profits."
Qin Shi took out ten million from his black card with a smile and divided it into ninety-nine portions. Other than the Dragon Clan, the Yin Lin Clan, the Marquis Clan, and the other four clans did the same. It was very fair and won over the hearts of the people.
After distributing the spirit stones, the patriarchs stood on the stage. It could be seen that Yin Hong and the others were very happy, especially Lin Yi. He was grinning from ear to ear. The biggest winner of this Hundred Race Competition was undoubtedly the Lin Clan.
Next, it was time to tabulate the total results. With the help of Qin Shi, the Lin Clan came out on top with a score of more than 400 points and became the champion. The second place was the Guo Clan, followed by the Yin Clan, Blood Clan, and Hou Clan.
Hearing the top five, the Lin Concubine clenched her fists and blushed. "He really did it."
"Yes, the Qin Sect Master never goes back on his word. As long as he says it, he will definitely fulfill it. He didn't break this rule this time." Fang Xin and her sisters were grateful.
Sixth was the Dragon Clan.
Although their plans were ruined by Qin Shi, Long Bai's strength was unquestionable. He still obtained a hundred Origin Qi Pearls in the fourth segment and was right behind the Hou Clan.
The seventh and eighth places were the Yan and Huo races. After the ninth place, there was basically not much difference from the previous tournament. The only change was in the fourth round. Qin Shi threw out two hundred Essence Qi Beads, which could be considered to have disrupted some of the rankings.
But none of this was important anymore.
The Dragon Clan didn't get first place, so their plans completely failed. There was no doubt that the Lin Clan would become the leader of the Hundred Races.
Because of Qin Shi, countless small clans were very supportive of the Lin Clan.
Lin Yi excitedly gave a speech on the stage. "Thank you everyone for your support. The Hundred Races are in the hands of the Lin Clan. I will definitely bring them to greater heights and live up to the expectations of our ancestors!"
"Oh oh oh!" This was very exciting.
At night. According to tradition, after every Hundred Race Heroes Competition, a Hundred Race Banquet would be held in the Hundred Race Holy Land.
As soon as the banquet started, countless small clans came over to curry favor with the Qilin Clan. Among them were the small clans that had colluded with the Dragon Clan and requested the champion of the Hundred Clan Hero Competition to lead the Hundred Clans. As the saying goes, when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. The Dragon Clan's power was already gone, so they naturally had to find a backer that could shelter them.
The Lin Clan was undoubtedly the best choice.
"Hmph! A bunch of fence-sitters! Back then, when our Dragon Race found them, they didn't have this attitude right now. Now that our Dragon Race has been defeated, all of them are like smelly bugs that are sticking to the Lin Race!" A few elders of the Dragon Race scolded out in dissatisfaction.
Long Bai was also gnashing his teeth in anger. However, he was not like the other elders. Even though he was still young, his temperament was extremely mature. He solemnly asked Long Xuan, "Grandfather, what should we do next?
If we can't obtain first place in the Hundred Race Hero Competition, won't our next plan be terminated? "
Long Xuan shook his head. "It doesn't matter. For the next plan, the Hundred Races have endured for a hundred years. No matter what, we have to carry it out. Even though we can't obtain first place this time, once that person arrives, I want to see just what kind of waves Yin Lin and the other clans can cause. Do they really think that they can lead the Hundred Races just because they obtained first place?
What a joke! "
No one noticed that there was an extremely strange cold light in Long Xuan's old eyes. This cold light swept across the entire Hundred Race Holy Land.
"That person?" Long Bai was stunned. "Could it be him?"
"That's right. Originally, I wanted to rely on this Hundred Race Hero Competition to become the champion of the Hundred Races and then naturally sit on the seat of the Hundred Races Commander before carrying out the next plan. However, since an accident has occurred, we can only use force." Long Xuan's voice was very cold. "Moreover, doesn't the Hundred Races worship force the most?
Then I'll fulfill their wish. I'll use the method they worship the most to deal with them and conquer them! "
Long Xuan's words caused Long Bai to calm down. His long and narrow eyes narrowed into a slit. This slit reflected only one person, and that was Qin Shi.
"Qin Shi, this isn't over yet. I'll definitely make you pay the price!"
On the side, Qin Shi was still completely unaware of what had happened. He was drinking with Yin Fenghao and the others.
From time to time, his mental power would spread out to search for traces of the evil spirits. However, he discovered that there was an abnormally terrifying ball of energy directly below the Hundred Race Holy Land. His mental power couldn't approach it at all, so he could only helplessly shake his head. "This ball of energy should be the energy source that the evil spirits were talking about, right?
The evil spirits should be there. However, this guy has been gone for a whole day. If this continues, the Hundred Race Holy Land will close soon. Will he not be able to make it back in time? "
While Qin Shi was worrying, the Lin Concubine and her sisters came over and interrupted him. "Shi Tou, thank you for the Hundred Race Hero Competition. If you have any requests, just tell us. We'll definitely satisfy them."
Qin Shi smiled and waved his hand. "Sisters, what are you talking about? This is something I promised Luosha. Moreover, the matter between me and Luosha is already settled. As the groom, I didn't give you any betrothal gifts. Just treat it as the betrothal gifts for my marriage with Luosha."
The Lin Concubine and the others were startled. They smiled gently. "Hmph, at least you have some conscience. Then we won't stand on ceremony with you."
"There's no need to stand on ceremony. If I fight with Luosha in the future and she runs back to her parents' home, just put in a few good words for me." Qin Shi chuckled.
"Don't you dare!
If you dare to anger Wan Yan back to her parents' home, don't ever think about seeing her again. "The Lin Concubine and the others threatened him.
"Hey, aren't you guys changing your attitude a little too quickly?
Why is it like the weather has changed? Didn't you just say that you'll satisfy all my requests? "
"You didn't mention it, did you?
Since you said it's a betrothal gift, then of course we'll accept it. Our Sister Wan Yan is as beautiful as the moon. She's such a good girl. This betrothal gift is too good for you. "The Lin Concubine teased.
Qin Shi pursed his lips unhappily. "What kind of people are they?"
The Lin Concubine and the others looked at each other and smiled when they saw Qin Shi's childish behavior. If it wasn't for his childishness, they would have forgotten that Qin Shi was just a kid in his early twenties.
However, it was this twenty-year-old child who had saved them from danger countless times.
The Lin Concubine sat down. "Then, the Hundred Tribe Competition has ended. What do you plan to do next?
Are you going back to the Empire? "
Qin Shi fell silent for a while and shook his head seriously. "I'm not going back to the Empire yet. There's still half a year before my child is born. I want to explore the outside world in this half a year and understand more about this huge continent. I promised Luo Sha that I would find Xue Xin and awaken Sister Yu. I have to do that before I can successfully marry Luo Sha."
There was one thing that he didn't say.
That was, he hoped to make a name for himself in this continent in the next six months. Only then would he be able to protect the Rakshasa and his unborn child.
The Lin Concubine and Fang Xin were familiar with Qin Xue Xin and Jade In The Book. They had heard Yu Luo Sha mention them before. In the beginning, they were against it. However, after hearing what the two women did to Qin Shi, how Qin Xue Xin saved Yu Luo Sha's life, and how Yu Luo Sha was the last one to interact with Qin Shi, the Lin Concubine and Fang Xin agreed and gave their blessings.
They all understood, especially the Lin Concubine, who was a concubine. In this world where the strong preyed on the weak, it was normal for a man to have multiple wives and concubines. To be able to meet a man like Qin Shi who was not fickle in love but sincere in love, she was already satisfied.
They had seen how Qin Shi treated Yu Luo Sha these days and remembered it in their hearts.
However, Yu Luo Sha was their sister after all. They didn't want to talk too much about Qin Xue Xin and Jade In The Book, so they changed the topic. "Do you have any thoughts?
Where are you going? "
"Thoughts?
I'm not sure yet. After all, the Wasteland Continent is just too vast. I've always been a frog at the bottom of a well in the past. My horizons were only as vast as the Scarlet Flame Empire. Even now, I've only just climbed out of the well. I'm still clueless about my surroundings. "
Qin Shi shook his head helplessly. He had never thought about this before, but he only understood after going to the Hundred Races this time that he knew very little about the Wasteland Continent. It could even be said that he knew nothing about it.
"If you want to go out and explore, I think you might as well choose one of the eight regions. Although you're still very far away from the eight regions with your current strength, I think it'll be a different story if you're a Soul Curse Talisman Magician. The eight regions are the highest point of the continent, the true peak."
"Eight regions?" Qin Shi frowned. Clearly, he had never heard of it before. "What's the eight regions?"
"The eight regions …!"
The Lin Concubine's eyes glazed over when the eight regions were mentioned. Even her voice trembled slightly. It was evident how fearful she was of the eight regions. "How do I put it? It's about the structure of the Wasteland Continent."
Qin Shi sat down cross-legged and listened quietly.
He had a feeling that what he was about to hear next would allow him to completely ascend to the continent and open a window in his heart.
"The Wasteland Continent is actually split into four worlds."
"Four worlds?"
"Yep, that's right. The four worlds are the Human World, the Demon World, the Beast World, and the Void World."
"The Human World is where humans live. It's also where we stand right now. It all belongs to the Human World."
"By the same logic, the Demon World is the world of demons, while the Beast World is the territory of desolate beasts."
"There's no chance for us humans to survive in the Demon World. It's the same for the Beast World. It's said that people once went to the Beast World. It's filled with wondrous beasts on the Ranking of Ancient Ferocious Beasts. True dragons, luan phoenixes, and other legendary desolate beasts are the rulers of that place."
