The Golden Mark was the sixth level of the Xuantian Holy Scripture. It was a kind of restraint formed by the soul as a medium. As long as one's cultivation was weaker than Qin Shi's, it would be difficult for them to break free.
But now, not to mention Qin Shi's weird Cultivation Level of Spirit Power, just the power of his Six Curses Charm Demon Master, not to mention the three to five days of Holy Wind disciples, even if Ge Han unknowingly planted the golden mark, the result would be the same.
Therefore, when the order was given through the Burning Inscription, the disciples' eyes suddenly lost focus. All of a sudden, they looked as if they had lost their souls. They were all stunned and stayed in the tavern. Qin Shi smiled and said, "I forgot about this martial art. This should be the best choice."
"Are you sure this will work?" Hua Ling saw the disciples' expressions and asked doubtfully.
Qin Shi smiled confidently and said, "Of course. As long as I don't die, the Golden Mark will not stop restraining them. If I am really unlucky and die in the battle of Holy Wind, Chi Yan will definitely lose. Even if they return to Holy Wind, it won't matter. It's better than killing them."
Hua Ling frowned. Seeing Qin Shi's expression, she pursed her lips and said, "That won't happen. I've said it before. Before the 300-year promise between you and Luosha is fulfilled, I will not allow you to die."
Qin Shi smiled bitterly and said, "Life and death are determined by fate. Aren't you being too overbearing?"
Hearing this, Hua Ling glared at Qin Shi. She hated it when people described her as overbearing, even though it was true. Therefore, she didn't want to dwell on this topic and said, "What's next?
When do we move? "
Qin Shi looked up. In his black eyes, there seemed to be a faint green light that fused with the rising sun in the east. He looked in the direction of Holy Wind.
Relying on the perception of his spiritual sea, with the valley as the center, even the slightest movement within a five hundred thousand meter radius was under his control. The end of the five hundred thousand meter radius was the Holy Wind's border.
Tens of thousands of Holy Wind soldiers were stationed outside the border of the Holy Wind Empire. They had almost completely sealed off the area opposite to Chi Yan. Among these tens of thousands of people, all of them were above the Cryptic Spirit Realm, and they were all on high alert.
Qin Shi frowned after withdrawing his telekinesis: "Over ten thousand Cryptic realm disciples, this Sacred Wind is really putting in a lot of effort to catch me."
"Ten thousand people?"
"Yes."
Qin Shi bitterly smiled. Soon after, he said hesitantly, "In this situation, it's impossible for the two of us to get close to the Sacred Wind. Let's wait a little longer. There will be a time when they will replace each other. At that time, we will move."
Hua Ling nodded. After working together a few times, she had complete trust in Qin Shi.
Midnight.
A tranquil valley was bathed in moonlight. Occasionally, the cries of tigers and eagles could be heard, but there was no fear. Instead, it was like a secluded world where immortals lived in seclusion. It was very pleasant.
Xiu!
But in the midst of this pleasant feeling, two very different sounds of wind pierced through the air.
Qin Shi took the lead, and Hua Ling followed. After rushing out of the valley, the two of them sped towards the border of the Sacred Wind Empire. On the way, Qin Shi looked back and said seriously, "This time, we must be fast. The garrison outside the city has started to change shifts. Now is the best time for us to enter."
Hearing this, Hua Ling's teeth trembled slightly. This speed had reached her limit. Fragrant sweat rolled down her forehead secretly.
After all, she was not of the thunder attribute, and her spiritual power was far less than Qin Shi's. This kind of speed that was faster than the wind was simply too much for her.
However, she still nodded her head fiercely and agreed, "I know!" After that, she silently followed Qin Shi and didn't utter a single word from the beginning until the end.
Seeing her pale face, Qin Shi bitterly smiled. "How stubborn."
Then, he flicked his finger, and a ray of spiritual power shot through the clouds. A thunder dragon flew down from the sky. Qin Shi jumped onto the thunder dragon and said, "If you can't handle it, get on."
"It's none of your business. Just go." Hua Ling glared at him.
Slap!
But before she could finish speaking, a large hand grabbed her shoulder and pulled her onto Lei Long. She struggled and said, "Who told you to meddle in other people's business?"
Qin Shi didn't leave her side. He just said without looking back, "I don't want to be the one fighting alone when we get to the Sacred Wind Empire."
Hearing this, Hua Ling was dazed for a moment, then she calmed down a little.
An hour later, the two arrived at the border of the Sacred Wind Empire under the lead of the thunder dragon. Just as Qin Shi said, this was the time of the replacement. The two deliberately hid their presence, so it was very difficult for the Cryptic Realm disciples to find them.
Just like this, the two arrived at the border of the Sacred Wind Empire. The Sacred Wind Empire was like a dragon's spine and a mountain range. It was very tall and majestic.
Qin Shi stopped. He wrapped his black robes, which had become rather messy from the cold wind, around himself. He stood with his hands behind his back and looked down. It was an endless expanse of jade palaces. Some heaviness and seriousness involuntarily flashed across his eyes.
"Phew …!"
He exhaled a long breath of turbid air. He knew that it was time for the final battle.
Boom!
Because of this, when the foul air melted into the air, Qin Shi's black robe fluttered. Then, a wild spiritual pressure formed around him. He released all of his spiritual power, which made Hua Ling, who had been quiet behind him, frown.
Even though they had worked together many times, she still looked at Qin Shi in shock. "Such terrifying power."
Then, she asked in confusion, "Didn't you say you were going to sneak attack?
Why did you suddenly release your spiritual power? What do you mean? "
Qin Shi shook his head. "Sneak attack? I was just talking about it. We have already passed through the army stationed outside the Sacred Wind Empire. It can be considered a successful sneak attack. We don't need to do anything else."
"Why?"
"Do you really think we can successfully sneak into the Sacred Wind Empire?
Let's not talk about the Sacred Wind Empire for now. The person from the Bi team must have already set up a barrier at the border. If we dare to enter, he will definitely get the news immediately. "
"You already guessed it?
Then why didn't you tell us? "
"I had no choice. In the Sacred Wind Empire, all of them are old monsters that have lived for hundreds of years. They are very suspicious and won't be easily fooled. If I didn't keep you in the valley and told Lin Yu to do it, they wouldn't be fooled."
"What I want to do is to let them know that I am here to sneak attack. That way, they will notice that I am here and focus all their attention on me."
"Huh?
You want to attract their attention so that Lin Yu and the others can take the opportunity to rescue Jin Yan? "Hua Ling suddenly understood.
"More or less. It's just that the ones to rescue Jin Yan are not Xiao Yu and the others. With their cultivation, they won't be able to find where Jin Yan is trapped."
"Not Lin Yu?
Then who is it? "
But at this moment, Qin Shi purposely kept her in suspense. "If everything goes smoothly, you'll know after this."
Then, he looked at the video transmission device in his hand again. "Yuan Bo, you better not lie to me. Otherwise, I will make you pay a heavy price!"
Then, he turned to Hua Ling and said, "In a while, I will make my move. At that time, Shan Qingfeng might not appear. After all, he is the ruler of the Sacred Wind Empire and has to act like a king. However, the Serene Wind Battle Sage is a ruthless person. He will definitely attack me at the first moment. Don't make your move then. You won't be able to withstand even one attack from an eight-sky cultivator."
When Hua Ling heard this, even though she was unwilling to admit it, she understood in her heart that Qin Shi was doing this for her own good. The Eight Heavens stage was too powerful. Back then, Yuntu's palm had almost taken half her life, and Yuntu was only at the Seven Heavens stage. If it was eight Heavens, she would probably die on the spot.
The difference between the heavens and the earth was huge.
Seeing that Hua Ling didn't argue, Qin Shi relaxed a lot. Then, he leaned forward and stopped ten thousand feet above the wall. He opened his hands and struck three times in a row.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Suddenly, the sound of thunder pierced through the sky. The wall, which was like an iron bastion a second ago, suddenly caved in.
The huge commotion caused an uproar in the city.
Just as Qin Shi had expected, a dragon-like figure wearing battle armor broke through the clouds and approached Qin Shi.
Qin Shi frowned. "Is he here?"
Then, his eyes turned cold. A broken wind shadow had already appeared a hundred meters in front of him. Even he couldn't help but admire its speed.
"Brat, die!"
The figure held a huge saber with an azure dragon engraved on it. From time to time, there would be a cold wind whistling on the saber's blade as it chopped down hard at Qin Shi's forehead.
The sudden blade caused Qin Shi to focus slightly, but he didn't dare to be careless. This War Venerate was the first person he had faced since returning to Scarlet Flame. He was a true 8-heavens cultivator.
Previously, when they were beast kings, Hu Yan had joined forces with the Tiger Clan to use a secret technique to transform into an early 8-heavens giant tiger. In the Mountain Gaze, Duanmu Yun had also used the Duanmu family's spirit vein to seize Duanmu Hong's cultivation and break through. However, these were only external forces. The difference between their physical bodies and spiritual power was too great.
But this War Venerate was different. He was a true 8-heavens cultivator. Furthermore, Qin Shi could vaguely sense from the spiritual pressure overflowing from his body that he had already reached the peak of the 8-heavens. It wouldn't be long before he could condense a Thunder Tribulation Seal and step into the 9-heavens.
This kind of enemy was terrifying.
In this moment of crisis, Qin Shi's body transformed into a bolt of lightning. His body flickered, and he fell back half a step. Broken Water was already in his hand, and he flicked it upward, causing a silver-white crescent moon to appear.
Rumble!
Suddenly, the huge force collided, and even the clouds were broken. The hazy moonlight penetrated through, and at this moment, the moonlight actually flashed with a few traces of blood red, which was shocking to see.
Qin Shi abruptly took a step back. By the time he lowered his head, the web between his thumb and forefinger had actually burst open. Bright red blood flowed out, while the hand that held the broken water continuously trembled.
