"My Lord, what do you mean by that?"
Qin Shi was silent for a moment and shook his head. "Anyway, calm down first. Don't be rash if you encounter anything. I will help you. Let's go in."
After listening to Qin Shi's words, Tong Tong clearly didn't understand what Qin Shi meant. But because he was worried about Tong Zixin, he didn't think too much and just nodded his head as he pushed the door open.
But the moment the door was opened, the scene that greeted his eyes caused him to be stunned on the spot. He couldn't even take a step in. It was as if he had become a fool. "How, how could this be?"
He saw that the dilapidated house was in a mess, as if it had been swept by bandits. There was dust and fallen leaves everywhere. The ancient trees were all chopped down and the furniture was scattered all over the ground. But these weren't the most important thing. The most important thing was that Tong Tong actually saw a bright red blood stain under the roots of an ancient tree. The blood stain wasn't sticky yet and was slightly hot. It could be seen that it was just made not long ago.
"Tong Qing, Zixin …!"
Tong Tong suddenly came back to his senses. Soon after, he barged into the house and searched through the rooms one by one. Every guest room was as dirty and messy as the house itself.
After a moment, he almost searched every corner of the room, but he still couldn't find the figure that he was worried about. This caused the uneasiness in his heart to become stronger and stronger. He knelt down in the house and continuously used his hands to dig on the yellow soil. It seemed that even if he had to dig three feet into the ground, he would still find Tong Qing and Tong Zixin.
This caused Qin Shi and Little Mi Cai to feel slightly depressed from behind. Qin Shi let out a long sigh. The scene that he didn't want to see the most had finally appeared. Actually, when he first arrived outside the house, out of habit, he used his soul power to explore the house. It was also because of this that he frowned and told Tong Tong to stay calm.
He took a few steps forward. "Stop digging, they aren't here."
"How, how could this be …!"
Tong Tong was out of his wits, and he was in despair. It was obvious that this was a huge blow to him. "Wh-why? The three of us have been through so much, and it's not easy for us to live a stable life. Why does the heavens still treat us like this …!"
"It's the Zhao Clan. It must be the Zhao Clan. Zhao Tianyun is seeking revenge."
He muttered to himself. His voice wasn't that loud, but he made a huge movement. He immediately flipped over, rushing out of the residence.
Qin Shi could see from his face that he was not afraid of death. He stopped him and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Sir, please step aside. I want to go to the Zhao Clan. I want to save them."
Qin Shi furrowed his brows. "You?
You know very well that with your ability, let alone going to the Zhao Family to save someone, it's hard to say if you can even enter the Zhao Family. If you go, you'll just be sending yourself to your death! "
"Yes, even if it's sending myself to my death, I want to go!"
Unexpectedly, Tong Tong's voice suddenly rose. "The three of us have said that even if we die, we will die together. Now that they are in the Zhao Clan, I must go and save them. If I can't save them, I will die with them!
Sir, please step aside! "
Qin Shi's heart trembled. He could see that Tong Tong was not joking. This kind of emotion moved him, but he still didn't step back. "What if, I say, you guys don't have to die?"
"Hmm?
Sir, what do you mean by that? "
"Before coming in, I told you not to be impulsive. No matter what happens, I will help you. Since you also said that this matter started because of me, then I naturally have to bear the consequences of my own sins. Moreover, I also want to see this girl whom I have never met, but who has a lot of fate with." Qin Shi smiled faintly.
And his smile, to Tong Tong, was like an extremely extravagant ray of light in a dark abyss. He said excitedly, "Sir, Sir, you mean, you want to help me, you want to help me save Tong Qing and Zixin?"
Qin Shi was not in a hurry to agree. "Yes, but the premise is that you can calm down and don't do anything impulsive. If it was really the Zhao Clan's doing, then they must have taken Tong Qing and Zixin away to take revenge on you. If you are also controlled by them, then they have no worries. At that time, it is also possible to kill Tong Qing and Zixin. Although I can promise to help you save the Zhao Clan, I don't have the ability to take people from the King of Hell."
Qin Shi's words were like a huge rock firmly pressing down on Tong Tong. Coupled with the unique aura of a king, Tong Tong nodded quietly. "I know, I won't be impulsive. As long as I can save Zixin, I will do anything."
Although he said he was calm, he still couldn't suppress the anxiety in his heart. After hesitating for a while, he asked again, "But Sir, what should we do?
The Zhao Clan has a very high status in Nightless City. Not to mention the tight security, the Zhao Clan Head even has the first level of the Heaven Summit, as well as three Nine Heavens Realm elders. It would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens for an outsider to sneak in and rescue someone.
"Don't be anxious. Let's just wait here. It isn't difficult to enter the Zhao Clan. Before long, someone will come and invite us." Qin Shi was extremely calm towards this. He actually sat cross-legged in the courtyard by himself, closed his eyes, and rested.
This action made Tong Tong even more anxious, but he did not dare to say too much. This was because he knew in his heart that if he did not have Qin Shi's help, there was absolutely no hope for him. If he went to the Zhao Clan, it would only be like what he said before. He would not be able to save Tong Qing and Tong Zixin at all, and could only die with them.
The process of waiting was very torturous. Actually, not much had passed. It was only six to four hours. To a cultivator, this was like a flick of a finger. However, Tong Tong seemed to have gone through a few centuries as he kept swaying in the courtyard.
Looking at him, Xiao Mi Cai was confused. She thought that she was noisy enough, but she did not expect that there would be someone in this world who was even more noisy than her. In the end, she anxiously shouted, "Hey, can you be a little more honest?
You keep swaying here and there. Are you asking for a beating? "
Hearing this, Tong Tong was also unhappy. If it was in the past, he would definitely not be calculative with Xiao Mi Cai. However, it was a joke. Now that his younger brother and sister had been captured, it was unknown whether they were alive or dead. He immediately said angrily, "Do you think I want to?
Do you know?
To me, this is torture. Torture! "
"Didn't my father promise you that he would help you save your little sister?" Xiao Mi Cai placed her hands on her waist and said.
The two of them continued to bicker. At this moment, Qin Shi, who had been calm all this while, finally opened his eyes. He had a look of helplessness on his face, and it was also at this instant that his eyes flashed. With a flash, he appeared in front of the two of them.
Bang!
Following which, a crisp sound rang out as an arrow pierced through the air. He caught it with his bare hands, scaring Xiao Mi Cai and Tong Tong so much that they hurriedly shut their mouths. Xiao Mi Cai then asked resentfully, "Father, are you alright?"
"The two of you, be quiet for a while. I will be fine."
Qin Shi harrumphed angrily. After which, he turned around and spoke to Tong Tong, "Alright, don't be anxious. I have long told you that someone will come and invite us to the Zhao Clan. We will move now."
"Really?"
Tong Tong was first overjoyed. After which, he froze and asked in puzzlement, "Lord, the person you are talking about is …!"
"Take a look for yourself."
Qin Shi passed the arrow to Tong Tong. Only then did Tong Tong notice that there was a leather letter on the tip of the arrow. There was a line of words written hastily on it.
"When night falls, if you don't want to collect the corpses of Tong Qing and Tong Zixin, then bring that stinking brat who helped you to the Zhao Residence!"
After reading the letter, Tong Tong came to a sudden realization. How was this an invitation? This was clearly the ultimatum given by Zhao Tianyun. He looked at Qin Shi with a worried expression, "Lord, you mustn't. This is clearly a Hongmen Banquet. The power of the Zhao Clan is huge. Since Zhao Tianyun suffered a loss from you outside, the Zhao Clan must have set up an inescapable net, waiting for you to go over. Aren't we falling into their trap?"
"What else can we do?
Don't tell me you want to collect the corpses of Tong Qing and Zixin? "Qin Shi said bluntly, causing Tong Tong to fall silent.
Then, he patted Tong Tong's shoulder and said, "Don't worry. Ordinary people can't kill me, Qin Shi. We have to face what we have to face. First, we have to ensure the safety of Tong Qing and Zixin. Then, we can adapt to the situation."
Originally, Tong Tong wanted to say something, but due to the safety of Tong Qing and Tong Zixin, he sighed and nodded. Then, he said, "But Lord, if you really encounter danger, you must protect your own life. Don't worry about me. If possible, I only hope that you can help me save my little sister. The heavens are not fair. She has suffered too much in her life."
Qin Shi shook his head at him in relief. "Since I promised to help you, I will definitely not let any of the three of you die. Don't worry."
Then, without giving Tong Tong a chance to speak, he and Little Mi Cai left the dilapidated house and headed for the Zhao Family's residence.
Tong Tong was in a daze for a long time. Looking at the frail figure in front of him, he seemed to feel an invisible force supporting him from Qin Shi. He clenched his fists tightly and followed.
The Zhao Family's residence was located on the busiest street of the Nightless City. It occupied a large area, and from the outside, it was as large as a deserted town. It was extremely luxurious.
"I have really underestimated the Zhao Family," Qin Shi said in his heart.
The Blood Shaman's voice rang out, "Little fellow, you have to think carefully. Don't forget the purpose of your trip. The Zhao Family is the number one family in the Nightless City, and their master is at the Heaven's Boundary Realm. If you provoke them, there will be no place for you in the Nightless City. At that time, it will be even more difficult for you to find the Desolate Geocentric Milk."
