However, would Qin Shi really let Ge Han go?
The answer was clearly no. With Qin Shi's personality, from the moment Ge Han invaded Crimson Flame, it already signified Ge Han's death. Qin Shi had already planned everything out and was waiting for Ge Han to fall into his trap in order to take his life. Thus, no matter how fast Ge Han ran, could he possibly escape from Qin Shi's grasp?
Qin Shi glanced at Hua Ling. It was as if Hua Ling had already predicted this. She had already moved half a second before Ge Han stood up. Like a thorny rose, she stood guard at the entrance of the pub.
Ge Han's heart sank. He first turned to look at Qin Shi. When the two of them looked at each other, Qin Shi shrugged and said, "Don't look at me. I said that I would let you go, but she didn't say that if you want to live, you have to fight for it yourself."
Ge Han's eyes turned vicious when he heard this. He was afraid of Qin Shi, but Hua Ling's cultivation was only at the Five Heavens Realm. In his opinion, he was not afraid of her. "Girl, I'm a little afraid of that brat, but if you want to stop me, you're not qualified to do so!"
Then, he aimed a palm at Hua Ling's chest.
Bang!
However, Hua Ling's beautiful eyes were indifferent under the fierce palm. She did not dodge, but faced the attack head-on. This caused Ge Han to be slightly shocked. Then, his face turned hideous. "Hmph, since you want to die, I'll fulfill your wish. Although I can't kill that brat, if I can kill Chi Yan Hua Ling, it will be a great contribution."
Bang!
The two palms collided violently, instantly creating a huge shockwave. The whole pub shook violently from the terrifying aftershock. Fortunately, Qin Shi acted in time from behind. A golden pagoda sealed the two firmly, preventing the pub from collapsing.
Everyone looked towards the center. When the aftershock dissipated, Qin Shi waved his hand and the golden pagoda dispersed. However, the scene inside made everyone dumbfounded.
Initially, the crowd thought that with Ge Han's cultivation, even if Hua Ling did not die, he would not be able to escape with serious injuries.
However, at that moment, Hua Ling was still standing gracefully in the tavern. She was holding a sword that shone with a cyan light. The sword pierced into Ge Han's chest and blood dripped onto the ground.
Staring at the blade on his chest, Ge Han turned around in disbelief and angrily glared at Qin Shi, "Broken, Broken Water Sword, boy, you never thought of letting me go?"
"State Preceptor Ge Han, your words are slandering me. I've already said that I will allow you to leave. However, whether you can leave or not depends on your own abilities. Now that you're weaker than Palace Master Hua Ling and you've been killed, it's all because of your incompetence. You can't blame me for this." Qin Shi laughed.
Ge Han heard this and suddenly laughed wildly. He nodded his head vigorously, "Good, good, good. Boy, I've been tricked by you. I've betrayed the Holy Wind. However, boy, don't be too happy. This will not end. The Holy Wind and that force will not let you go. They definitely won't!"
"The people from that power have unparalleled powers. Sooner or later, you will die at their hands. Just wait for them to tear you to shreds. And it won't be just you. Your daughter, Redflame, and whatever bullshit Qin Sect. None of them will have a good ending!"
Ge Han roared crazily before he died. However, no matter how much he screamed, Qin Shi was not moved. He was not angry because of Ge Han's words. Instead, he was very calm.
At this moment, he suddenly walked forward and put a hand on Ge Han's shoulder. He said coldly beside his ear, "Hehe, old man, you're thinking too much. Even if they don't come to me, I will take the initiative to go to them. However, you won't be able to see that scene."
Ge Han was stunned for a moment. However, before he could recover, Qin Shi gave Hua Ling a look. Hua Ling pulled out her jade-like hand and the Broken Water Sword directly cut Ge Han's body in half. Before his death, Ge Han stared at Qin Shi with his eyes wide open in shock.
"Good will be rewarded, evil will be punished. No one can escape the cycle of karma. This is your retribution in this life. Go and pay your debts slowly in the underworld."
Qin Shi waved his hand and wiped Ge Han's eyelids. "I hope that in your next life, you can be a good person and stop harming the heavens."
Ge Han's death had completely opened the curtains on the battle between Chi Yan and Holy Wind. The Blood Shaman jumped out of Qin Shi's spatial ring. He was bored and said, "Hehe, little guy, this first battle seems to be going well, right?
I didn't expect you to hide it so well. Just now, even I thought you were at your wit's end. "
"There's no other way. Those guys from the Holy Wind Academy are all old monsters who have lived for hundreds of years. They are very shrewd and ruthless. Only by hiding the truth from you guys can we really trick them. Of course, this is just Ge Han. He is too arrogant. If it were someone else, I wouldn't be so sure that it would be so smooth."
"Alright, no matter what, this is a good sign. Next, you'll definitely be able to overcome all the obstacles. You even dared to cause trouble in the Chaotic Realm. Holy Wind can't stop you."
"I hope so."
Qin Shi let out a long sigh. However, he knew in his heart that while this battle seemed easy, the pressure he felt was far greater than the battle in the Chaotic Realm. That was because he did not have any worries in the Chaotic Realm back then.
He just wanted to leave and return to Yu Luocha's side. Even if he died, he wouldn't hesitate.
But this time, he couldn't. He didn't dare.
In this battle, he had too many burdens on his shoulders. Jin Yan, his grandfather, Chi Yan, Qin Zong, the Qin family, all his loved ones, and his promise to Yu Luocha. All of this had never happened during the battle in the Chaotic Realm. He didn't dare to lose, nor did he dare to die.
"I hope Yuan Bo didn't lie to me."
Qin Shi lowered his head and looked at his hand. In his palm was a video transmission device.
While Qin Shi was deep in thought, the Blood Shaman suddenly asked, "Little guy, let me ask you. What you said to that old ghost just now, was it true?"
This caused Qin Shi to be startled at first, then he came back to his senses and said, "Are you talking about the matter of the Pi Group?"
The Blood Shaman nodded, "Yes, you want to take the initiative to find them?"
"Yes, after all, I feel a little uncomfortable being chased by people all the time. Moreover, I realized that all the spearheads I have pointed at the Ma Group, the demons, Beng Yu, Feng Hen, the Qin family's mission, Xue Xin's hatred, Jin Yan and my grandfather, and the grudge between me and the Chaotic Realm. All of these seem to be guiding me towards the Ma Group. Now, only Sister Yu's injury has nothing to do with the Ma Group, but I think that Sister Yu's soul injury and her mysterious identity from ten thousand years ago are also related to the Ma Group. All of this seems to be a coincidence, but in fact, it's not."
Qin Shi analyzed and soon after, he said, "However, I currently have very little understanding of the Hou Group, while they know me like the back of their hands. This isn't good, and it makes me feel very uneasy. I must understand a little more about the Hou Group, and right now, the easiest way to do so is in the Sacred Wind."
"Hmm?"
The Blood Shaman's voice was a little surprised, "You mean, you want to understand the Ma Group from the Holy Wind's Ma Group's disciple?
Kid, are you crazy?
Do you know how dangerous this is?
If it's not done well, you will lose your life.
Although I also admit that you are talented, your wings are not mature enough. In the eyes of the Ma Group, you are at most a young dragon. "" I know, but there is no other way.
"I know, but there's nothing we can do about it. You said that thirty thousand years ago, the Puppet Group already controlled Zhe Tian's three spiritual and seven physical souls. They just seemed to be missing an opportunity. Now that the Puppet Group has made a move, it means that they've found that opportunity. Feng Hen is in danger. I have to save Feng Hen before Zhe Tian revives. He's my brother, and it's also because of me that he fell into the hands of the Puppet Group. I can't just watch him die."
The Blood Shaman hurriedly opened his mouth, but when the thousands of words he wanted to say reached the tip of his tongue, he suddenly fell silent. In the end, he did not say anything and only shook his head. "Forget it, no one can change your mind once you've decided on something. I just hope that you don't act rashly. Don't forget, you said that this battle is not just your own battle, but the confidence and lives of many people."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I won't gamble with their lives."
"That's for the best." The Blood Shaman didn't say anything more.
At this time, Hua Ling had already disposed of Ge Han's body with her spiritual power. The smell of blood in the tavern faded, and the rich fragrance of osmanthus was restored. Qin Shi took a deep breath and smiled, "This smell is still the best."
"How do we deal with them?" Hua Ling pointed to the group of disciples who came with Ge Han.
Qin Shi turned around and looked at them. The group of disciples trembled violently, one by one they lowered their heads, and some even directly knelt on the ground, begging for mercy, "Sir, please spare our lives, we are just doing our duty, this has nothing to do with us."
"That's right, Sir, please let us go. We promise that we will never use the Holy Wind again. We will live in seclusion in the mountains and never go against Chi Yan again."
Qin Shi narrowed his eyes and struggled in his heart. To be honest, he wasn't a good person, but he wasn't the kind of crazy demon who would kill without blinking an eye. He had his own obsession and bottom line, but he knew that he couldn't let this group of people go, or else it would be a huge hidden danger for the next part of his plan. If something really happened to Jin Yan, he definitely wouldn't be able to forgive himself, and it was also something he couldn't afford to bear.
"Use that Golden Mark. This group of people's cultivation is lower than yours, with that strange martial art of yours, you should be able to control them. After this matter is over, it doesn't matter if you let them go or kill them," the Blood Shaman said.
Hearing this, Qin Shi came to a sudden realization. He had forgotten that he still had a trump card, the Golden Mark. He nodded excitedly, "Yes, this should be the best choice."
"Golden Mark."
Immediately after, he waved his hand, and dozens of Golden Soul Rays shot out, hitting the chests of everyone in the tavern except Hua Ling.
