As he was thinking, a withered shadow dashed over from the bamboo forest. The Undying Taoist's face was full of shock. He fixed his gaze on Qin Shi and asked in astonishment, "Little brother, the one who broke through just now was you?"
Qin Shi shrugged his shoulders with a smile. "Otherwise, do you think that there's anyone else who can break through this Golden Silk Enemy-Killing Formation and enter the Yangtan Bamboo Forest?"
Although he was already prepared, he still revealed some surprise after obtaining Qin Shi's affirmation. "Really incredible. Six days ago, I did not sense any signs of a breakthrough from your body. However, six days later, I did not expect that when we meet again, you have actually already completed your breakthrough. This kind of speed is really worthy of respect and celebration. This old man feels that I am still lacking."
"You must be joking, Senior."
Qin Shi shook his head. Of course, the appearance of the Undying Taoist was also a coincidence. He said, "Senior, you came at the right time. Otherwise, I was going to pay you a visit."
"Tell me, why are you looking for me?"
As a Soul Incantation Talisman Master, although the Undying Taoist was not as talented as Qin Shi, he was much older. He could also judge other people's emotions based on their aura. Therefore, he could see the anxiety in Qin Shi's heart at a glance.
Qin Shi was stunned for a moment, but immediately felt relieved. He said, "I want to discuss with Senior, can you give me a chance to meet Li Minghao?"
"You want to meet my little disciple?"
The Undying Taoist was slightly surprised, but he did not question Qin Shi. He only thought for a moment and said, "Alright, now that I've recovered, it's time to go to the City Lord's Mansion to take a look. No matter what, I'm still that little guy's Master. I have to do my part. Moreover, I miss him a little. Then let's set it three days later. Follow me to the City Lord's Mansion."
Hearing this, Qin Shi revealed a happy expression. If the Undying Taoist was leading him, then his next plan would be much smoother. He thanked him and said, "If that's the case, I'll have to trouble Senior."
The Undying Old Taoist waved his hand. "Little brother, you're too polite. You can rest in my humble abode for another three days. We'll set off after that."
After the two reached an agreement, the Undying Old Taoist turned around and left. Qin Shi watched as the Undying Old Taoist left. A golden halo spread out from the bamboo forest. Qin Shi was not surprised by this as he knew that the Undying Old Taoist was adjusting his body. Although he had helped the Undying Old Taoist dispel the baleful aura, the three years of invasion had caused the Undying Old Taoist's bodily functions to decline to varying degrees. If he did not take good care of himself, he would definitely fall ill.
In the next three days, Qin Shi had a rare moment of leisure. He did not cultivate as he had just broken through and needed to build a good foundation. Thus, during his free time, Little Mi Cai would pester him, crying and asking him to accompany her out to play. When he thought about how the promise between the two of them was broken, he felt a little guilty and nodded his head in agreement.
The two of them left the Yangtan Bamboo Forest at night. After all, in Nightless City, one could only admire the beautiful scenery that shouldn't appear in the mortal world at night.
Along the market, Little Mi Cai held onto Qin Shi's arm. She was affected by the surrounding atmosphere, causing her to smile sweetly. She scammed quite a number of spirit stones and Xuan Crystals from Qin Shi and bought a lot of accessories that girls liked.
Bang!
At this moment, a collision sound suddenly rang out in front of the two of them. A figure flew out from the crowd like a cannonball and violently smashed into the wall. The rubble that was created nearly smashed into Qin Shi. Luckily, Qin Shi's reaction was quick and he easily dodged it with a light flick of his feet.
Even so, Little Mi Cai's cheeks puffed up and her beautiful eyes turned cold. "Heh, is it that blind guy?
You almost hurt my father, get out here! "
As she shouted, she rolled up her sleeves and wanted to rush forward. However, Qin Shi was quick to stop her. He then shook his head and said, "I'm fine. Let's go."
"But …!" Little Mi Cai was infuriated.
"Have you forgotten what I said to you?" Qin Shi threatened to send Little Mi Cai back to Scarlet Flames. Only then did Little Mi Cai quiet down.
Following which, he casually glanced at the figure. He saw that the figure was surrounded by a dozen disciples who were dressed the same. It was obvious that they were from noble clans. The one leading them was a short-haired youth. With a face full of disdain, he said, "Hmph, trash who overestimates himself!"
Qin Shi frowned slightly when he heard this. This matter was very obvious, the disciples of these clans were bullying him. However, he hesitated for a moment and didn't make a move. After all, he wasn't some kind of saint. He had always been very clear about his own position. In this world, such matters were happening every minute in different places. He could save one person, but he couldn't save everyone. Furthermore, he was born outside and didn't want to cause trouble for himself. No matter how arrogant these disciples were, they would at most teach this person a lesson. After venting their anger, it would be over. However, if he were to interfere, this matter might become even more complicated and might even bring trouble to this person.
"Let's go."
Qin Shi shook his head and pulled Little Mi Cai along. Just as the two of them were about to turn around, he suddenly froze. His gaze followed the gap between the group of disciples and looked towards the center. Looking at the figure that was surrounded, he felt that it was somewhat familiar. "It's him?"
"Brothers, beat him up, beat him to death."
The youth leading the group was arrogant and unruly. He was the first to raise his hand and kick Tong Tong's face. Following which, more and more disciples joined in. To them, it didn't seem like they were beating up a person, but more like beating up a sandbag. They only cared about themselves.
This caused many of the surrounding people to feel disgusted. However, most of the people in the market were small traders, so no one dared to stop them. They only sighed and said, "These Tong brothers are really something. Usually, they seem to be weird. Why did they take the initiative to provoke Zhao Tianyun today? The Zhao Family Head is rising like the sun and is now the favorite of City Lord Li Tan. The Zhao Family has also become the number one family in Nightless City. Provoking them, isn't that equivalent to seeking death?"
"That's right. It's a pity. These Tong brothers usually take good care of us. Although their sinister mouths sometimes offend people, they are much better than those guards who only cared about corruption and did not do any proper work. We have received quite a lot of favors from them over the past few years."
"Sigh, I hope that Zhao Tianyun can end this once he gets his revenge."
The strength of the Zhao Family disciples was not ordinary. The weakest was at the Heaven Realm, and Tong Tong was just a guard. At most, he was at the Mysterious Spirit Realm. How could he withstand their ravaging? Very quickly, he was so heavily injured that he could not even stand up. Only then did Zhao Tianyun wave his hand, indicating for the surrounding disciples to stop. He half squatted down and grabbed Tong Tong's hair. "Brat, I think you really have lived enough. You even dare to interfere in this young master's matters?
I'll send you to your death now! "
Finished speaking, Zhao Tianyun's eyes were ruthless. He raised his hand and stabbed towards Tong Tong's back.
This caused many disciples to reveal a look of shock. The people in front hurriedly stopped him. "Big brother, no matter what, he is still a guard. If we kill him like this, it won't be good, right?"
"What are you afraid of?
If something happens, I'll take care of it for you! "Zhao Tianyun roared in displeasure.
Many disciples were at a loss. Fortunately, the disciple closest to Zhao Tianyun was very smart and quickly said, "Big Brother, that's not it. If you kill him like this, you won't be able to vent your anger. Look at your shoes, they're already stained with his blood. If you kill this kind of trash dog, you'll dirty your hands, won't you?
I think it's better to let him kneel down to you, lick the blood on his shoes clean, and then kowtow to us brothers three times. At that time, even if we let him go, he will really be a dog in Nightless City. He will have no dignity at all. Living a life worse than death, that would be satisfying. "
"Hmm?"
Zhao Tianyun turned his head with a deep meaning and nodded. "What you said seems to make sense. I can't let him die so easily."
After saying that, he straightened up and kicked Tong Tong's chin again, causing him to roll on the ground. He extended his shoe and said, "Did you hear what my brother said just now?
Lick it clean for me, and I'll let you go today. Otherwise, hmph, I'll kill you. "
When everyone heard this, they could not help but breathe a sigh of relief for Tong Tong. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Tong Tong suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhao Tianyun with a mocking gaze. This caused Zhao Tianyun to frown. "What are you looking at me for?"
"I'm looking. How can a dog have the face to call others a dog?
You want me to add shoes?
Stop dreaming. Even in the next life, it's impossible! "Tong Tong roared with backbone.
This shocked everyone. Zhao Tianyun's expression became even more ferocious. Even the disciple who had just spoken up for Tong Tong was angry. "You don't know what's good for you!"
"Fine, I'll let you be stubborn. Then I want to see whether your mouth is stubborn or my fist is harder. Brothers, continue beating him up!"
Tong Tong once again became the target of public criticism. Seeing that his upper eyelids were about to close and that he was on the verge of collapse, countless onlookers became anxious.
"This Tong Tong is really something. Can't he just take the initiative to admit his mistake? Why must he be so stubborn!
Why bother? "
"Yeah, by doing this, isn't he pushing his life into the abyss? What can be more important than his own life?"
A peddler was filled with helplessness. But at this moment, a large hand patted his shoulder, causing him to involuntarily freeze. After that, he turned his head and saw a black-robed silhouette standing behind him. The black-robed silhouette calmly said to him, "That might not be the case. To some people, dignity is more important than their lives."
These simple words caused the peddler to be stunned. Before he could turn around, Qin Shi had already walked away from his side and walked in the direction of Zhao Tianyun.
This caused the peddler to be completely stunned. "Is this kid crazy?"
