The next day.
The Mist Alliance remained vigilant. Hundreds of disciples guarded the headquarters, but only the higher-ups knew that this vigilance was just a facade, a trick to confuse the eyes.
Since last night, when Qin Shi and You Qing decided to take the initiative to attack the Creation Team, the Mist Alliance was busy. Yao Yi, who was in charge of collecting, spent the whole day preparing for the operation at night. In a day, he used his connections to purchase hundreds of Sovereign Soul Tools, all kinds of elixirs, and even more than ten masterpieces.
In a day, the Mist Alliance used up tens of millions of contribution points, and their inventory was reduced to zero. This time, the Mist Alliance was really prepared to fight the Creation Team with their lives. All the disciples were prepared to be sacrificed.
During this time, Qin Shi didn't stay idle. During the day, he came to the first district, the fourth house on the third street. From the outside, it didn't look any different from the other houses. However, if he used his spiritual energy to observe carefully, he would discover that there was an extremely well-hidden barrier inside the house. Qin Shi used his spiritual energy to pierce through the barrier, and inside was a dried-up well.
"It should be this well."
Qin Shi silently noted it down. After that, he patrolled for a long time, and killed dozens of the Creation Team's spies around this house. Then, he modified the ward. This was a piece of cake for him, who had been taught by Jade In The Book.
He changed the connection point and the formation eye of the ward, and directly connected it to his sea of consciousness. This way, this ward would have nothing to do with the Creation Team, and would be completely under his control. He would be able to sense anyone entering or leaving this place.
After doing all this, Ning Yu swayed her fat body and came to his side.
"Are you ready?"
When he saw Ning Yu, he asked.
Ning Yu nodded excitedly, and stretched out her chubby hand. There were hundreds of talismans in her palm, and each talisman was engraved with a lightning bolt.
This talisman was the Heaven State Breaking Talisman. When he was in Lotus City, he had suffered from this talisman. However, after he reached the Heaven State and left the Crimson Flame Empire, the power of the Heaven State Breaking Talisman had weakened, so very few people refined it. However, for such a large-scale battle, the Heaven State Breaking Talisman could have unexpected effects.
"Very good." Qin Shi smiled strangely as he received the hundreds of Heaven Breaking Talismans. "Aren't we going to celebrate?
Alright, I will set off fireworks in the Creation Team's dungeon tonight! "
Ning Yu nodded cooperatively. "Big Brother, remember to tell me when you set off fireworks. I can call a girl and find a high vantage point to watch. Who knows, I might be able to win a beauty tonight."
Qin Shi smiled. At this moment, a figure flashed across the sky. and landed, and Qin Shi was taken aback.
The person who came was none other than Ink Wolf, who had been practicing alchemy to the point of Qi Deviation. He still looked unkempt, but his eyes were very clear.
Ink Wolf walked in front of Qin Shi and rubbed his clothes. He took out a bunch of colorful elixirs and passed them to Qin Shi. "I know you are going to do something big tonight. Ling Yun said that we are brothers. Even though I can't save him, these elixirs are a small token of my appreciation."
Looking at the elixirs that were about to overflow from Ink Wolf's hands, Qin Shi could tell with his naked eyes that every single one of these elixirs was a priceless treasure.
Every single one of them was a ninth-grade elixir with at least five patterns. Furthermore, they contained a huge amount of spiritual energy. If these elixirs were to be sold, the price would definitely not be less than a million contribution points.
Because of this, a warm feeling spread from the bottom of Qin Shi's heart. He opened his mouth and finally smiled. "Don't worry, nothing will happen to Ling Yun."
It was dusk.
Qin Shi was dressed in a black robe. He stood in the air above the fourth house on Third Street. He took a deep breath because he knew that once he exhaled, he would be shrouded in the smoke of war for a very long time. He wouldn't be able to breathe this kind of cool air anymore.
As this breath gradually flowed into his lungs, the Mist Alliance's communication device in his hand flashed with a few green lights. A faint green voice sounded.
"Brother Qin, everything is ready on our side. We can move at any time."
Qin Shi frowned slightly. "Have you found all the secret passages?"
"Yes, there are 238 secret tunnels in total. I've arranged for people to go through every single one of them. Apart from the old, weak, and crippled disciples who stayed at the Mist Alliance headquarters to keep up appearances, all the other disciples have been mobilized."
Qin Shi was finally unable to suppress the ruthlessness within his black eyes after obtaining the affirmation. His large hand gripped the voice transmission device tightly as he said, "In that case, let's do it. Let's raise the curtains for this life and death fight."
He didn't listen to the communication device anymore. He knew that it must have exploded. All kinds of orders and instructions sounded. The Mist Alliance moved.
The curtain of night gradually shrouded after the setting sun. Qin Shi, who was within it, knew that it was not just darkness that shrouded the area. It was a hatred that had been plotted for a long time, a hatred that had settled for three years.
"Huff …!"
A mouthful of turbid air finally came out of his mouth and nose. In the next moment, Qin Shi's eyes narrowed. Even the air outside his black robe rippled slightly. In the next moment, he stepped into the air and the sky was covered by a web of lightning.
As for him, he had long since disappeared from where he was, rushing into the dried well.
After entering the dry well, it was very dark inside. He floated in the air, and lightning flashed under his feet, causing the well to flicker continuously.
He waved his hand and the enchantment he modified collapsed. From now on, as long as someone entered this enchantment, they would be bombarded by lightning.
After arranging the escape route, Qin Shi went deeper into the well. At the bottom of the dry well, he could vaguely see some light.
The well was very deep and very long.
About an hour later, Qin Shi saw the end. It was no longer dark, and the surroundings were no longer as messy and absurd as before. The front was supported by four golden dragon pillars. At the top of the dragon pillars was a plaque with a few words engraved on it: Genesis Dungeon.
Seeing these words, Qin Shi let out a deep sigh of relief. At first, he was afraid that Chen Yu and Li Ke would lie to him. Now it seemed that his worries were unnecessary.
What surprised him was that after entering the dungeon, the security in the cell was very lax. Just as he had expected, the Genesis Team had underestimated the Mist Alliance too much. No one would have thought that the Mist Alliance would dare to launch a sneak attack on the Genesis Team and break into the dungeon directly.
Shortly after entering the dungeon, Qin Shi spread his spiritual power, covering every inch of the surrounding tens of thousands of meters. Soon, he found Ling Yun's figure.
Ling Yun was imprisoned in a dark cell in the corner. There were hundreds of bloody wounds all over his body. When Qin Shi saw these hundreds of bloody wounds, his eyes widened. His anger was self-evident.
"Ling Yun!"
Qin Shi tried hard to suppress his low shout.
Ling Yun's consciousness was already blurred. Hearing Qin Shi's shout, he became more focused. After seeing Qin Shi's black robe, his pupils shrank. He used all his strength to climb to the cell's railing and grabbed Qin Shi's sleeve. "Qin Shi, Brother Qin Shi!"
"Don't talk. I'll take you out of here first."
Qin Shi said, but before he could finish, Ling Yun wailed in pain. "No, I'm fine."
He grabbed Qin Shi with all his strength. His blood-red eyeballs were about to pop out of his eye sockets. "I beg you, promise me, save Hui 'er. You must save Hui' er!"
"Brother, you know me. You know that Hui 'er is my everything. I don't care whether I live or die. I just want to see Hui' er safe and sound. If anything happens to Hui 'er, I won't be regretted even if I die!
Brother, I beg you, promise me! "
Ling Yun cried and stared at Qin Shi. His expression was already fake, but it was his belief that supported him. He was waiting for a reply from Qin Shi.
Seeing his brother begging in front of him in such a sorry state, Qin Shi suddenly felt like his heart was being crushed by a huge rock. It felt like a sharp knife was constantly cutting his heart.
He gritted his teeth and said, "What are you talking about? You are my brother, Qin Shi, and Mu Hui is my brother's wife. I, Qin Shi, promise you that nothing will happen to either of you. I still want to attend your wedding banquet!"
Hearing this, Ling Yun smiled as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders. His willpower could no longer hold on. His grip on Qin Shi's hand loosened, and his whole body collapsed to the ground.
Qin Shi glared at him and held his shoulder. He scolded angrily, "Ling Yun, you have to hold on. If you die, then I won't save Mu Hui. You have to do as you see fit. You are my brother, Qin Shi. Don't make me look down on you!"
Ling Yun trembled lightly on Qin Shi's shoulder. "Big … Big Brother, I won't die. I still want to give Hui 'er happiness. I still want to invite you to my wedding banquet. I'm just really tired. Let me rest for a while."
Hearing that trembling voice, Qin Shi's nervous heart relaxed. He said with relief, "Rascal, you made me worry for nothing. Then rest. Leave the rest to me!"
Qin Shi's eyes turned cold. With a clench of his large hand, he used brute force to break the bars of the cage. Immediately, he stuffed dozens of Ink Wolf's medicinal pills into Ling Yun's mouth and brought him along as he flew towards the top of the prison.
Along the way, even though there was no Sky-Burning Flame, there was raging fire. All the moisture in the air evaporated in anger.
Moreover, along the way, he would leave a Sky-Breaking Talisman at every fifty meters. Each Sky-Breaking Talisman was equipped with an explosive device. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of Sky-Breaking Talismans covered the dungeon of the Creation Team like a spider web.
Now, as long as Qin Shi used his mental strength slightly, these Sky-Breaking Talismans would explode at the same time. With hundreds of Sky-Breaking Talismans forming an explosion array, perhaps half of the Creation Team's headquarters would be reduced to ruins.
