When Su Ming saw the blood letter sealed in the barrier, he was overjoyed and said, "Shi Tou, so you've already made preparations?"
Qin Shi nodded. "I've said it before. Jin Yan is my daughter. I won't joke around with her life."
A few short sentences had already expressed her feelings. Yin Mo's jade-like eyes were filled with self-blame and regret. And at this moment, Qin Shi walked up and patted her shoulder, "Don't think too much about it. I know that you're worried about Jin Yan. Trust me, everything will get better."
"Okay!" Yin Mo nodded lightly.
On the other hand, Hua Ling looked at Qin Shi strangely from the side. Qin Shi's cautiousness and scheming was no longer the brat who had clashed with the Xuan Hall and challenged her back then. Instead, he was a king who was meticulous to the point where he could grasp every single detail and every single inch of the situation.
"Luo Sha, I finally understand why you chose him in the end even though you've known him for 30 years. He is indeed worthy of you dedicating your life to him." Hua Ling's cold gaze finally became gentler.
Qin Shi waved his hand and the blood letter was destroyed before everyone's eyes.
Now, the three powerful cultivators of Yun Hai had been killed. Without the support of the three people, Yun Hai was already at the end of its tether. Most of the military power had fallen into Lin Yu's hands, and they only existed in name.
After dealing with Yun Hai, the next step was Mountain Gaze.
Qin Shi sucked in a deep breath. His calm black eyes were filled with cold killing intent. Then, he turned around and said to the 30 something soldiers of Yun Hai, "Now, gather all the Heaven Territory disciples of Yun Hai and follow me to destroy Mountain Gaze!"
The 30 something disciples frowned when they heard this, but they did not dare to resist. They understood the logic of those who followed would prosper and those who opposed would perish. That was why very soon, 37 Heaven Territory disciples gathered there.
As he looked at the 37 people, Qin Shi smiled in satisfaction. Then, he looked at the night sky and took a leap. He was the first to head towards Mountain Gaze.
"Let's go!"
Lin Yu and the others followed closely behind.
Due to the success of the Cloud Sea Empire, the morale of the Scarlet Flame Empire was greatly boosted. Currently, the Scarlet Flame Empire held the military power of the Beast King Empire and the Cloud Sea Empire. Although they couldn't dominate the entire Hundred Tide Region, compared to a few years ago, or even a few decades ago, when the Scarlet Flame Empire was at the mercy of others, invaded by others, and even had internal strife, it was many times stronger than when it was divided into four regions.
At the thought of this, Lin Yu lifted his head and looked at Qin Shi, who was leading the crowd at the front. The corners of his lips curled up subconsciously.
He believed that as long as Qin Shi was around, the Scarlet Flame Sect would soon become the strongest force in the Hundred Tides, surpassing the Sacred Wind Sect.
"At that time, the Scarlet Flame Sect will be your strongest support. No matter how hard you try, there will always be a safe place behind you."
The Cloud Sea Empire and the Mountain Gaze were separated by half of the Hundred Tides Region. If Qin Shi was alone, he might be able to cross the Hundred Tides Region in half a day. However, he was not alone. After all, there were many disciples behind him. Therefore, the whole journey took a day and a night. When the sun set on the second day, the crowd arrived at a place not far from the Mountain Gaze.
Outside the Mountain Gaze, in a quiet forest, Qin Shi stared at the rolling mountains and rivers. Lin Yu stepped forward from behind him and asked, "Shi Tou, do you have a plan to deal with the Mountain Gaze?"
"Like before, Hong Teng will probably leave the imperial palace alone tonight. Hua Ling and I will take the lead to kill him. As for the Duanmu brothers, we'll act according to the situation."
"I'm not talking about the three of them, but …!" Lin Yu was a little anxious.
"I know. You're talking about that strange swordsman, right?"
Lin Yu nodded and said, "Indeed, this swordsman has an unknown origin and a strange identity. The most important thing is his strength. There are too many unforeseen events about him. If he fights for the Mountain Gaze, we'll be in trouble."
"That's true. But you also said that there are too many unforeseen events about that person. Don't consider him in the plan for now. Otherwise, we'll be tied up. If he really shows up, just leave it to me."
When Lin Yu heard this, he opened his mouth, but in the end, he gave up and did not say anything. He really had no other way to deal with this swordsman. Only Qin Shi could deal with this swordsman.
"If only I could be a little stronger … that would be great." Lin Yu shook his head.
Qin Shi was stunned for a moment. Then he turned around and said with a smile, "What are you thinking about? You're already very strong. Your ability is not an individual's, but a powerful army. Keep it up. I still hope that one day, the Scarlet Flame Sect can become a famous empire in this region and even on this continent."
"I won't disappoint you."
Qin Shi nodded. Lin Yu rolled his eyes and suddenly said, "By the way, for this plan, will there really be no problem if you call the soldiers of the Yunhai Sect?
If anything goes wrong with them, it will be very disadvantageous for us. It might even … it might even leak the news to the Holy Wind Sect. If that happens, we'll be in trouble. "
Hearing this, Qin Shi smiled and shook his head. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I called them to test them. If they can be stable this time, we can put them in an important position in the future. After all, the Scarlet Flame Sect is expanding rapidly now. However, the manpower of the Scarlet Flame Sect is limited. If you want to manage the three empires at the same time without chaos, you must have people you can use by your side. I'm only doing this in the hope that I can help you."
"Furthermore, you don't have to worry that their betrayal or desertion will bring harm to our side. Just now, when I was collecting their military authority, I poured Spiritual Force into every single one of them. If they dare to have the slightest thought of rebelling, I will immediately take their lives."
Hearing Qin Shi's words, Lin Yu suddenly understood. He couldn't help but look at Qin Shi gratefully. "It seems that you're thinking long-term. In this case, I'm relieved."
"Alright, let's sort out the people's minds and get ready to take action. The longer this matter is delayed, the more disadvantageous it will be for us," said Qin Shi.
Then, like the Yunhai Sect, he and Hua Ling took the lead to set off.
The Wangshan Empire was several times more magnificent than the Yunhai Sect. Soon, Qin Shi and Hua Ling appeared not far away from the imperial city.
"Let's wait here. Hong Teng will probably pass by here tonight."
Hua Ling nodded her head. After waiting for a long time, Qin Shi sat down cross-legged. Strand after strand of Soul Force spread out, scanning the surrounding 10,000 miles.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, a stream of light flashed across the starry sky. Qin Shi opened his black eyes indifferently. After seeing Qin Shi's movement, Hua Ling asked, "What's wrong?
Is he here? "
"Yes, Hong Teng will pass by here soon."
"Are we still going to kill Hong Teng?" Hua Ling asked coldly.
However, unexpectedly, Qin Shi shook his head at this moment. Hua Ling looked at him in confusion. "Why?
Aren't we going to kill him? "
"Yes, we must kill him. However, we can't treat Hong Teng like Gou Su did. The Wangshan Empire is not like the Yunhai Sect. Although the Wangshan Empire has sent a large number of troops to the Sacred Wind Sect, we can't underestimate their internal strength. The imperial palace is heavily guarded. It's difficult for you and me to enter."
Qin Shi explained, "Therefore, if we want to lure the Duanmu Brothers, Hong Teng is the best bait."
After hearing Qin Shi's analysis, Hua Ling thought for a while and said, "That's true. What do you mean?"
"Later, when Hong Teng shows up, we will pretend to be weak. Then, when we fight with him, we will make as much noise as possible to alert the imperial palace. My Sea of Consciousness can explore the boundary outside the imperial palace. As long as there is a fluctuation, it won't be too late to kill him."
"Then we'll do as you say."
After working together several times, Hua Ling trusted Qin Shi very much. Therefore, she agreed without hesitation.
"Okay, he's here."
Hua Ling's beautiful eyes were filled with killing intent. Suddenly, her killing intent made the temperature of heaven and earth drop by a few degrees. Even the flowers were frozen.
Swoosh!
From the imperial palace, Hong Teng held a silver spear in his hand. He stepped on a cloud and sped away.
"Let's do it!" Qin Shi said.
Bang!
Suddenly, Hong Teng's expression changed. He stabbed the silver spear at the void behind him, and three withered leaves were crushed. "Who is it?
Show yourself! "
"Hong Teng, you old dog, die!" Hua Ling leaped up and slapped Hong Teng three times.
"It's you?"
Seeing Hua Ling, Hong Teng was obviously a little surprised. But soon, he calmed down and smiled disdainfully. "I was wondering who it was. It turns out to be Hua Ling, the first Lord of Chi Yan Palace."
"Don't talk nonsense. You took my sister's child. Today, I want you to die without a burial place."
When Qin Shi heard Hua Ling's words from behind, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. Hua Ling had a staunch character and was not good with words. In a battle, she would not speak if she could avoid it. Today, in order to stall for time, she did such a strange thing. "It must have been hard on her."
"If we were in Chi Yan Palace, maybe I would be a little afraid of you. But I admire your courage. You actually dared to break into my Mountain Gaze alone. Then, don't leave today!" Hong Teng waved his silver spear and stabbed it at Hua Ling.
Boom!
Bang, bang, bang!
In the blink of an eye, the two of them clashed several times. Every time Hua Ling attacked, she was bold and decisive. Even though she did not manage to hurt Hong Teng, she destroyed the forest within a kilometer radius, causing the ground to shatter.
Hong Teng frowned. "Rumor has it that Lord Hua Ling is cruel and merciless. This is true. Every move is full of killing intent. But aren't you looking down on me too much?"
"Silver Saddle and White Horse!"
Hong Teng stood up and waved his silver spear. The power of the spear was enough to shatter mountains and break seas. Bang, bang, bang!
Boom!
After a few exchanges, Hua Ling's teeth trembled. Hong Teng was also in the Five Heavens Realm. It was very difficult for her to fight him alone, especially when Hong Teng was prepared.
"You alone are not my match." The silver spear forced Hua Ling to retreat. Hong Teng directly threw his silver spear and stabbed it at Hua Ling's shoulder.
Bang!
However, at this moment, a golden pagoda rose from the ground and enveloped Hua Ling. When the silver spear collided with the golden pagoda, the golden pagoda only trembled slightly before it actually sent the silver spear flying.
