"Get your ass back here!"
Li Hong roared, then shook his head helplessly. He knew his son the best, so he didn't say much. He looked at Zi Lingsha and said, "Miss, it's all thanks to you. You're the benefactor of our Li Clan."
"Patriarch Li, you're being too serious. I only intervened because of him. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have cared about the Li Clan's survival," Zi Lingsha said indifferently.
The meeting room of the Li Residence was instantly filled with awkwardness. Li Hong's mouth twitched a few times. Qin Shi saw this and quickly stepped forward. He glared at Zi Lingsha. This woman's words were just like her character. Vicious and ruthless. He tried to smooth things over. "Alright, alright. No matter what, we've escaped from death this time. It's something worth celebrating."
Then, Qin Shi asked, "Patriarch Li, how are your injuries?"
Li Hong's complexion finally returned to normal. He smiled bitterly at Qin Shi. "It's alright. Although I can't use my spiritual power now, my life is no longer in danger. I don't dare to die so early before this kid grows up. My body has to be strong."
Li Hong pointed at Li Qi.
Li Qi scratched his head shyly. "Father, don't worry. I'll definitely work hard on my cultivation. This time, Big Brother helped me break the curse in my body. Give me three years and I'll definitely reach the top. Then, I'll share the burden of the clan with you so that you can enjoy the rest of your life."
"It's good that you have this intention." Li Hong stroked his white beard in relief.
Li Jianlong hesitated for a moment. "Patriarch, although we escaped from death this time, with Han Long's temper, he definitely won't let us go. Not only are you heavily injured, but the Han Clan's secret skill has also been mastered. What should we do?"
As soon as Li Jianlong's words left his mouth, the atmosphere became solemn. The atmosphere seemed to be filled with a strong sense of crisis. Li Hong's eyes flashed with anger and unwillingness. His withered hand clenched the Dragon Throne, and the exquisitely carved dragon head on the throne exploded with a bang, turning into flying ash.
That's right. The Li Clan was now an arrow at the end of its flight. What could they use to fight against the Han Clan?
If the Han Clan came to attack them, only death awaited them.
The Li Clan's disciples lowered their heads in a daze.
"Patriarch Li, I have an idea." Suddenly, Qin Shi's laughter broke the silence.
The disciples of the Li Clan were stunned as they looked suspiciously at Qin Shi. Truthfully speaking, if it wasn't for Qin Shi, the Li Clan wouldn't have fallen to such a state, and they wouldn't have clashed with the Han Clan. The source of this grudge was all because of Qin Shi. Previously, Qin Shi was almost tortured to death in the Han Clan. Now that he stood out and said that he had a solution, naturally no one would believe him.
Li. Qin. "Qi- Zi Lingsha., and was. and., and, and, and he, Li Li...
Li, and, and, and and.
"Don't worry. Since I said I have an idea, I'm confident."
Qin Shi's affirmative response made Zi Lingsha stop asking. She just stroked the corner of her mouth and snorted, "Anyway, you're the one who boasted. If you can't do it in the end, don't come to me to borrow poison. For people like Han Long, my poison can only work once. The next time, his body will produce antibodies, and it won't work."
"Of course. You said it before. A woman is the most vicious. I'm not a woman. I won't use despicable methods like poison. This time, I'm going to destroy the Han Clan openly," Qin Shi said.
"You …!"
Zi Lingsha stomped her feet in anger. She ignored Qin Shi. "This time, even if you die, I won't save you."
Qin Shi was elated to see Zi Lingsha's anger.
"I believe in Big Brother!"
Just as the Li Clan was suspecting Qin Shi, Li Qi suddenly stood up. "Big Brother said that he'll do what he says. Father, let's believe in Big Brother this time."
Hearing this, Li Hong hesitated for a moment before asking Qin Shi. His eyes were filled with dense doubt. Of course, it would be strange if a person who was only at the seven Heavens stage, the weakest person in the entire hall, said that he could contend with the Han clan without being doubted.
"Friend Qin, do you really have an idea?"
Qin Shi nodded confidently. "Yes. However, my idea requires the Li Clan to take the initiative and use the power that we've accumulated over the years."
"What do you want me to do?"
"I hope that Family Head Li can use all of his strength to stop the Han Family. I need at least half a month's time. During this period of time, no matter what Family Head Li does, you must delay the Han Family and not let them attack the Li Family."
As he spoke up to here, Qin Shi's black eyes were filled with killing intent. His aura changed, giving others an extremely mysterious and powerful feeling. He said, "As long as we can delay the Han Clan, then we will win."
"This …!"
Patriarch Li fell silent for a moment before he said, "Half a month. That's not difficult. Even though I'm heavily injured now, it's still very easy for me to mobilize a few Region Realm experts with the connections the Sacrificial Auction House has accumulated over the years. However, these people can only help me delay the battle. After all, no one would joke around with their lives. What about half a month later?
Won't the Han Clan still attack the Li Clan? "
"You don't have to worry about that. Someone will destroy the Han Clan for us."
"Hmm?" Li Hong frowned and said seriously, "Friend Qin, are you sure?
This isn't a joke. If anything goes wrong, then half a month from now will be the day of our Li Family's death. "
"Then, Patriarch Li, other than believing in me, do you have any better ideas?" Qin Shi suddenly countered with a question, causing Patriarch Li to be stumped.
Indeed, Li Hong was silent. Right now, he had no other choice but to believe in Qin Shi. It was impossible for him to recover from his injuries in half a month. Moreover, Han Long had already reached the Perfected Domain Realm. Even if he recovered, he would not be a match for him.
Helplessly, he laughed and said, "Good, good, good. Then Little Friend Qin, I'll believe you and make a big bet with you. In any case, you're the benefactor of my Li Family. As I said, as long as it's your request, my Li Family will agree without hesitation."
Qin Shi smiled with satisfaction. "Then I'll tell Patriarch Li that you won't make the wrong bet."
"Huff …!"
Patriarch Li sighed. Then, he ordered the Elders, deacons, and disciples with outstanding talents, "Pass down my order. Activate the Sacrificial Auction House's ultimatum. Announce to the world that the Li Clan and the Han Clan are officially at war. Then, use all the power and connections of the Sacrificial Auction House to recruit people. No matter what, we must stop the Han Clan for half a month."
"Yes!"
The disciples of the Li Clan responded energetically and dispersed to all directions of the Li Mansion.
Qin Shi's black eyes narrowed slightly as he watched the figures continuously disappear from his side. He clenched his hand into a fist and licked the corner of his mouth. He took a deep breath and said, "Next, I will also begin to execute the plan."
Qin Shi left the meeting hall with Zi Lingsha following closely behind him.
When the two of them were far away, Li Jianlong stepped forward nervously. He looked at Qin Shi's back and said to Li Hong, "Brother, are we really going to bet the entire Li Clan on this guy?"
Li Hong's face darkened. He laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "He's right. We have no other choice. When the Han Clan mastered the Human-Beast Transformation, it broke the balance in Shang City. Now, no one in Shang City can restrain the Han Clan."
Then, he said calmly, "So, we can only believe in him. I believe that this guy will bring us more miracles."
"This is a huge gamble. I have a feeling that if we win this time, then it won't be long before our Li Family will have an extremely glorious legend. And the beginning of this legend will be written by this kid." Li Family Head said seriously.
Hearing this, Li Jianlong was shocked. He had never expected that Li Hong would give Qin Shi such a high evaluation.
Finally, Li Jianlong smiled helplessly. "I hope this guy won't disappoint us. Otherwise, the Li Clan's thousand-year foundation will be destroyed."
The next day!
It had to be said that the Li Clan had a deep foundation in Shang City. It was so deep that Qin Shi was shocked. The Sacrificial Auction House's connections were terrifying. When the Li Clan announced that they were going to war with the Han Clan, almost 80% of the forces in Shang City stood on the Li Clan's side. Among the remaining 20%, 10% chose to wait and see. Only 10% chose to help the Han Clan, probably because they had been on good terms with the Han Clan for many years.
Unfortunately, one of the three big families in Shang City, the Guo Clan, did not participate in this earth-shattering battle. The Guo Clan was one of the 10% that chose to wait and see. If the Guo Clan stood on the Li Clan's side and helped the Li Clan, the Li Clan's chances of winning would increase greatly. After all, the head of the Guo Clan was a Profound Domain Realm expert. A Profound Domain Realm expert could turn the tide of the battle.
However, even without the Guo Family, the hundreds and thousands of forces were more than enough to deal with the Li Family. Although this group of people was not enough to shake the Han Family, it was more than enough to obstruct and harass them.
Soon, the team to attack the Han Clan was formed. The leader of this team was Li Jianlong.
In the following half a month, the Han Clan suffered hundreds of sneak attacks almost every day, causing them to fall into a state of panic. Although Han Long and Han Wenjiu were in charge of the Han Clan, a fierce tiger was no match for a pack of wolves. Due to the large number of people, the two of them were extremely busy, unable to deal with the aftermath. For three days in a row, hundreds of Han Clan disciples were killed.
Because of this, Han Long was furious and started a massacre. The battle between the two families turned into a nightmare for the entire Shang City. The Shang City was dyed red with blood, and blood flowed like a river.
During this process, Qin Shi did not stay idle. For the first three days, he locked himself in his room and did not even see Zi Lingsha. No one outside knew what he was talking about. He only came out of his room on the third day.
Then, on the fourth day, he disappeared into thin air. Zi Lingsha also disappeared at the same time. The two of them only returned to the Li Clan late at night.
