Seeing these few words, Qin Shi's eyes suddenly flashed with coldness. An extremely strong killing intent was felt by everyone in the imperial palace.
Swish!
Soon, the people led by Lin Yu rushed over after sensing the fluctuation of the killing intent. Lin Yu said, "What's wrong?
Why did you suddenly cause such a big commotion?
Even the fierce beasts of the Nine Serenities in the forest outside the imperial palace have been alarmed by you. People who understand are panicking. Those who don't know will think that a beast tide is about to appear. "
Qin Shi pushed the note in his hand forward and sneered. "You'll know once you read it. This might be even more frightening than a beast tide."
After reading the contents of the note, Lin Yu frowned. "The Puppet Squad has appeared?
Who sent this news? "
"You've seen this handwriting. Haven't you thought of it?"
"It's him?"
Lin Yu lowered his head and looked at the slip of paper again to confirm it. In the end, he actually saw a bit of sword light from the writing of the long grass and the flying orioles. He said, "Haoyue?"
Qin Shi nodded. "Yes. From the Mountain Gaze, he went to the Sacred Wind alone. I didn't ask you to act because I was waiting for news from him."
Only then did everyone realize that Haoyue had indeed not appeared since the battle at the Mountain Gaze. He had been a great help to Feng Zhong in the battle.
But after hesitating for a while, Lin Yu still asked worriedly, "Is his news reliable?"
"Don't worry. Although I don't know what kind of enmity he has with the Puppet Squad, I can see from his eyes that he has the same hatred and killing intent for the Puppet Squad as I do."
As Qin Shi said this, he removed the Sword Sect's token from his waist. After staring at the token for a long time, he smiled faintly. "What's more, he is my senior brother."
"As long as you believe in him."
Qin Shi was the backbone of everyone. Since he had chosen to believe in him, Lin Yu didn't worry anymore. "Then what should we do next?
When do we do it? "
"This time, our opponent is not Cloud Sea or Mountain Gaze, but the overlord of the Hundred Tides, the Holy Wind. Moreover, if it's just the Holy Wind, it might be easy to deal with, but the troublesome ones are the Puppet Fighters. You must be careful when dealing with the Puppet Fighters. If you're not careful, you might lose your life." Qin Shi reminded them seriously, "I'm not joking with you."
However, Lin Yu and the others did not waver in the slightest. They were all very resolute, "Shi Tou, just tell us what we should do."
Qin Shi nodded with satisfaction. To be honest, with this group of brothers by his side, he had more assurance and confidence in doing things. "The plan is actually similar to what we discussed at the beginning. This time, Hua Ling and I will be the first to lure the enemy. Of course, because Jin Yan and my grandfather are in their hands, don't show yourselves without my notice."
Lin Yu understood what Qin Shi meant. Their entire plan was to rescue Jin Yan, so they couldn't put the cart before the horse. He promised, "Then you must be careful. In the next few days, I have organized the armies of the Beast King, Cloud Sea, and Mountain Gaze Empires. There are nearly 800 Heaven Realm experts. I will place all of them outside the Holy Wind Empire. If anything happens on your side, I will immediately rescue you."
This time, the battle with the Holy Wind Empire was not a small matter. Qin Shi nodded without arrogance, but he was full of helplessness. He thought, "I'm afraid that when we need them to rescue me, it will be the time of failure."
He knew the fierceness of the Puppet Group very well. Once there was a large-scale battle between the two sides, the Puppet Group would definitely seize the Collapsing Jade at all costs. At that time, the lives of Jin Yan and Qin Yongfeng would no longer be guaranteed.
Of course, Qin Shi didn't say any of this. He didn't want to discourage the others. Now was the time when they needed morale. So he took a deep breath and said arrogantly, "Alright, don't worry. At the last moment, we will also have other helpers."
"Helpers?
Who are they? "Everyone was puzzled.
Qin Shi smiled slyly and kept them in suspense, "You will naturally know when the time comes."
After saying that, he looked in the direction of the Gateless Auction House and thought, "Yuan Bo, you better not lie to me. Otherwise, I will definitely do what I said and make you pay a price that you can't afford!"
"Next, it's the most crucial moment. Everyone, raise your spirits. Get through this and defeat the Holy Wind, and we will win!"
"Chi Yan will win!" Everyone sang.
In the middle of the night, when ordinary people were already asleep, a few streaks of starlight flashed in the sky of Chi Yan. All of them rushed towards the southern border.
Among them, Qin Shi and Hua Ling were still at the forefront. The two of them were the first to rush out of Chi Yan. Of course, the distance between the empires was very far, especially between the empires and the Holy Wind. Even with Qin Shi and Hua Ling's speed, it took them a full three days to arrive.
"The Holy Wind is in front of us. We have to be careful. This is different from the Cloud Sea and the Mountain Gaze. There are too many experts here," Qin Shi reminded Hua Ling as he looked down at the rolling mountains and rivers.
Surprisingly, Hua Ling didn't quarrel with Qin Shi this time. Instead, she nodded seriously and said, "I know, I will follow behind you."
This huge contrast made Qin Shi a little uncomfortable. He pursed his dry lips and said, "Haha, what's wrong?
Did you change your sex? "
"I just don't want anything to happen to my niece." Hua Ling glared at Qin Shi.
Qin Shi stopped talking and looked at the cities and fortresses in the distance. He had to admit that the territory of the Holy Wind Empire was very vast. It was far beyond the empires like Chi Yan, the Cloud Sea, and the Mountain Gaze. The magnificent mountains and rivers were amazing.
But very quickly, Qin Shi retracted his gaze. He was not in a hurry to enter. Instead, he said, "It's almost five in the morning now. A halo has already appeared in the east. Right now, the Sacred Wind Equipment is like an iron wall. Especially during the day, the defense will definitely be especially strong. Let's find a place to rest first and start our operation at night."
After the battle with the Cloud Sea and the Mountain Gaze, Hua Ling also tasted the benefits of sneak attacks at night. Through several times of cooperation, she trusted Qin Shi very much, so she nodded and agreed.
Later, the two walked toward the nearest valley. In this valley, there was a very hidden tavern. When they arrived at the tavern, the sky was already bright. Qin Shi smiled at Hua Ling and said, "I just heard about this small tavern recently. Although the location is very remote, as the saying goes, good wine needs no bush. The osmanthus wine of this small tavern is very good, and it's very famous within a thousand miles. Let's go, it's my treat. We can relax first. After all, there is a fierce battle waiting for us tonight."
Hua Ling followed Qin Shi into the tavern. The tavern's business was booming. Although it was only dawn, there were already dozens of people making a racket in the tavern. Just as Qin Shi had said, the moment they entered, they could smell the rich fragrance of osmanthus. The waiter had a white strip on his shoulder and was sweating profusely as he busied himself.
When the waiter saw the two of them, he immediately greeted them with a smile and said, "Dear guests, are you here to eat or stay?"
"Give me two pots of your best osmanthus wine and your specialty dishes." Qin Shi and Hua Ling sat down in a corner, then threw a few Upper Spiritual Stones to the waiter.
Seeing the Upper Spiritual Stones, the waiter shouted excitedly, "Okay!
Two pots of osmanthus wine! "
After half a cup of tea's time, two pots of Osmanthus Flower Wine and dishes that looked and smelled good were served on the table. Qin Shi took a deep breath, and his eyes became blurred. "It's so fragrant."
He raised the wine pot, poured a cup for Hua Ling, and toasted her, "Come, don't always be bitter and hateful, have a drink."
Hua Ling glared at Qin Shi fiercely, but in the end, she still raised the wine cup, gently covered her face with her embroidered sleeves, and took a small sip of the strong wine.
Seeing this, Qin Shi smiled gently, then he also raised his head, drank the wine in the cup, and did not forget to praise, "It's really good wine."
After that, the two drank a few more cups, but just when the wine in the wine pot was about to be emptied, Qin Shi suddenly frowned. He tried hard to concentrate his eyes several times, but he found that no matter how hard he tried, he could not concentrate his energy. His eyes were very misty, and even the scene in front of him was constantly shaking.
"What's going on?" Qin Shi patted his head.
At this moment, the waiter appeared in front of him again, with an evil smile on his face, "Hehe, you two, how about our little shop's Ecstasy Wine?
Stop struggling, have a good sleep. "
Hearing this, Qin Shi suddenly looked at the wine pot, and after thinking everything through, he roared, "You poisoned us in the wine?"
"I'm afraid it's a little too late for you to realize it now, right?
Qin Sect, Sect Master. "
The waiter shrugged, and when he called out Qin Shi's name, the corner of Qin Shi's eyes twitched a few times, but before he could start struggling, the waiter snapped his fingers at him, and then Qin Shi felt his whole body go numb, as if he had lost track of them for a while. Hua Ling also felt the same, and with a plop, the two of them fainted on the table at the same time.
The waiter shook the two of them a few times, and after confirming that the two of them were really unconscious, he picked up a voice transmission device, smiled, and said, "Elder Ge Han, everything went according to plan. The two of them really passed by here, and they've already fainted."
"Okay, I'm coming over now." Ge Han's voice came from the device.
Only then did the waiter put away the voice transmission device, and sneered at Qin Shi and Hua Ling, "Hmph, two pieces of trash, how dare you go against us, Holy Wind. You're overestimating yourselves!"
"That's right, who's overestimating themselves? This question really needs to be researched."
However, before the waiter could finish his sentence, he heard a mocking voice from outside the tavern, startling the waiter. Immediately after, when he turned around, he was completely stunned.
He saw a figure in a black robe leaning against the door frame with a smile on his face, and the figure under the black robe, wasn't it Qin Shi?
