That was the whole story.
Qin Shi's closed black eyes gradually opened, and what resounded in his ears were explosions that filled the sky. It was wailing, despair, and purgatory.
Qin Shi lowered his head and looked at the Han clan, which had been ravaged by the ferocious demon. In the blink of an eye, blood flowed like a river. He could not help but feel that it was somewhat laughable.
"I didn't expect that in the end, it was the Ma Clan that helped me solve this hidden danger."
Qin Shi shook his head in a self-deprecating manner. In fact, if he had the strength, he would have personally killed Han Long. However, he knew that it was impossible, at least not yet. His strength was like an ant in front of these guys at the top of the food chain.
"I have to become stronger, much stronger!"
He clenched his fists and constantly warned himself in his heart, "Only by becoming stronger can I compete with the Ma Clan. Only then will I not encounter this kind of powerlessness, and only then can I use my own hands to protect what I want to protect."
His desire to become stronger was like a small flame, but also like a budding seed. It became unstoppable, pushing him forward in his heart again and again.
Fortunately, Qin Shi wasn't the kind of person who couldn't think things through. He was clear that one had to take things one step at a time, and rice had to be eaten one step at a time. If one became fat in one bite, it would only be fat. It looked good, but it was useless.
What he wanted was real. One day, when he stood in front of Chi Yan, no matter how strong the hurricane was, he would be able to stand tall and protect his hometown, that pure land.
Bang!
Suddenly, Han Wenjiu's figure in the sky was grabbed by a huge demon claw. Then, the owner of the demon claw let out a disdainful laugh and used force to tear Han Wenjiu apart.
"No!!!"
Han Long's old eyes were red. Perhaps there was nothing more painful than watching the Han family members die one by one in front of his eyes, right?
He seemed to have gone crazy as he roared hoarsely.
"I'm going to kill you all!
I'm going to kill you all!
In exchange for my brother's life! "Han Long lost his mind and rushed towards the demon.
Feeling the chill behind him, the demon turned around and looked at Han Long with disdain. "A little ant dares to go against the Ma Clan?"
Bang!
A gigantic claw the size of a mountain grabbed down at Han Long. In an instant, Han Long's body was controlled. Then, before the eyes of the crowd, Han Long's body was slowly being crushed by the ferocious demon.
Han Long's aura instantly disappeared.
A perfected Domain realm expert had died just like that?
The eyes of nearly ten thousand people present were filled with horror, and each of them shivered with fear.
"This, this, is this real?"
Immediately, no one wanted to continue fighting. Tens of thousands of people fled in all directions like rats on the street.
Qin Shi narrowed his eyes and was also slightly shocked. He had originally thought that protector Li's death would at most attract a few demonic arrows from the Dark Group. However, when he saw the ferocious demon, for the first time, he had the illusion of wanting to take the initiative to avoid it.
"This kind of strength, is it … the Twelve Demon Chiefs?"
It should be known that the blood of the Sky Devourer flowed in his body. The Sky Devourer was the leader of the two great Demon Supremacies. Even though the Sky Devourer was currently injured, to make him feel this way, it had to be at least at the level of the Demon Chiefs.
At the thought of this, he subconsciously moved his feet and sent a voice transmission to Li Hong. "Patriarch Li, hurry up and bring the Li family away from here. Don't go back to the Li family. Leave Merchant City. This place is going to be destroyed!"
The destruction that a demon head could cause was something that Qin Shi didn't even dare to imagine. This situation had far exceeded his imagination, and he couldn't control it at all.
Li Hong was slightly taken aback, but he also understood the severity of the situation. He immediately followed Qin Shi's instructions and evacuated the Li family's disciples from Merchant City.
Half an hour later, all the disciples of the Li family had left Merchant City. The troops stationed in the forest of Jade Peak Mountain could still vaguely see the tragic state of the Han family.
The raging fire had already burned up to the sky.
However, the rest of the clans were not so lucky. Those who chose to leave the Li Clan's side in the end, and those who changed sides at the last moment, were all destroyed by the Ferocious Demons in the short time it takes for half an incense stick to burn. The entire Merchant City became a purgatory.
Smelling the smell of blood in the air, Li Hong panted heavily with lingering fear. Only then did he count the Li family's disciples. Fortunately, the casualties of the Li family's disciples were not large, so he was relieved.
"Young friend Qin, what is going on?" He asked.
Qin Shi was helpless. He really didn't know how to explain to Li Hong.
Li Hong seemed to see through Qin Shi's dilemma, so he quickly changed the topic. Qin Shi knew that these Ferocious Demons were only used by him, but Li Hong didn't know this. In Li Hong's opinion, these Ferocious Demons were all Qin Shi's helpers. At this moment, he was filled with admiration for Qin Shi. He said, "Young friend, this time, the reason my Li family was able to escape this disaster is all thanks to you. I really don't know how to thank you."
Qin Shi hurriedly evaded and said seriously, "Patriarch Li, don't be like this. You don't have to be like this. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have fallen out with the Han Clan to such an extent. If you want to thank me, it should be me."
Han Long pondered for a moment, then shook his head with a bitter smile. "Young friend Qin, you must be joking. My Li family and the Han family have not been on good terms for a long time. You were just the fuse. Even without you, the Han family would have made a move against my Li family sooner or later. Although our Li family has lost a lot of people, the Han family's destruction is also a huge problem for us."
Hearing this, Qin Shi frowned. "Family Head Li, what is going on with the Han family's Ferocious Demon Transformation?"
"Ferocious Demon Transformation?"
At the mention of this secret technique, Li Hong's eyes became unfocused. He couldn't help but think back to a few hundred years ago. He sighed and said, "This Ferocious Demon Transformation was actually revealed in our Li family's Sacrificial Auction a few hundred years ago. At that time, our Li family also wanted to cultivate it. However, to cultivate it requires too many opportunities. Moreover, this martial art changes the bloodline of the family. Once cultivated, one would become neither a human nor a beast. Therefore, in the end, we listed it as a forbidden technique and abandoned it. That's why it ended up in the hands of the Han family."
"It was also after that that the Han Family withdrew from the Merchant City's business. Originally, the Han Family also possessed a powerful business status in the Merchant City. However, later on, they wholeheartedly devoted themselves to cultivation. That was how the Memorial Auction was created."
"So that's how it is."
Qin Shi came to a sudden realization. He thought to himself, "No wonder the Han family is so rich and overbearing. It turns out that they used to be a business tycoon."
However, after a while, he laughed because he knew that no matter how glorious the Han family was in the past, it would all come to an end today. Although he hated the Ma Tribe and swore to destroy them, according to historical records, he knew that in the current human world, there was no force that could go against the Ma Tribe that had existed for thirty thousand years. Even the Eight Regions, which were known as the Eight Great Forces, could not, let alone a small Han family.
Today, the Han family would not be able to escape this calamity.
"Next, let's not return to Merchant City for the time being. Let's wait until this storm is over before we go back."
Qin Shi suggested. The Ma Tribe took special care of him, so he was very clear that if the Ma Tribe knew about his whereabouts, they would not let him go.
Li Hong nodded. Their Li family had just been lifted from the curse of the Ominous Demon. They did not want to get involved in this muddy water again, so he agreed, "Yes, after this, the Merchant City will be reshuffled. In the future, there will no longer be a Han family. I think it will be chaotic in the near future. Hiding here is indeed a good idea."
Since Li Hong had spoken, the disciple of the Li family naturally would not refuse. Moreover, the current Li family had suffered heavy casualties. They really needed some time to recover.
On the other side.
The Han family, no, in the ruins, there was no longer a Han family. The Han family was completely destroyed by the Ma Tribe. There was not a single trace left.
Han Long, Han Wenjiu, and the other Almighties of the Han family were all torn to pieces. In the next few days, this news spread throughout the entire human world. Even the Eight Regions were alarmed. However, when they heard that it was the doing of the Ma Tribe, none of the Eight Regions came out to inquire. Instead, just like what Protector Li said, they all avoided it.
After destroying the Han family, the leader of the Demon Tribe stood in the sky. His huge body was thousands of zhang tall. A pair of wild wings constantly flapped, his expression grim.
Suddenly, a Ominous Demon appeared in front of him. He sternly asked, "How is it?
Is there any news? "
"Replying to San Tong Demon Chief, there is no trace of that brat's aura in Merchant City."
"No?"
San Tong frowned and said unhappily, "Impossible, the mission that Protector Li was sent out was to obtain the Benevolent Jade from that brat. Now that Protector Li was inexplicably killed in Merchant City, there is no trace of that brat's aura. This is impossible!
Continue to search for him! "
Just as Qin Shi expected, the Ma Tribe was indeed searching for him.
Logically speaking, it was impossible for his aura to escape the Puppet Squad's search. After all, the Ferocious Demons were extremely sensitive to killing intent. However, Qin Shi didn't know just how lucky he was. It was only because someone had been by his side that he had cleverly avoided the Puppet Squad's search.
Of course, this was all in the future.
Three days later, the Ma Tribe still could not find any news of Qin Shi. In the end, San Tong was extremely unwilling. He fiercely flapped his wild wings, splitting the earth. He coldly said, "Damn it, that brat escaped again. However, there is no time to bother with him now. The day of Heaven Shrouding Archdevil's awakening is getting closer. The inner group has already issued the final ultimatum. We must find the whereabouts of the divine tool before Heaven Shrouding Archdevil awakens. We will return to the outer group first!"
"Yes!"
