The young man just frowned but said nothing.
The big man continued: "I heard that there are demons and ghosts in the Dingbei Baizong Mountain. During this trip to the secret realm, some disciples of the two sects should have entered. The practitioners of these two sects capture human souls and sacrifice them to refine magic weapons. That is a common thing. During the war, they still obeyed the orders of the two cities, but once they dispersed, it would not be surprising to carry out assassinations. "
"So many dead people, aren't they enough to clean up their souls? In addition, don't they know what kind of people they offended? If the small Bai Zongshan dares to touch the people of Suiling City, isn't it like eating a bear's heart and a leopard's courage? !" The young man said with a gloomy expression.
"My subordinates are just guessing. These dozen people were killed cleanly, without leaving any traces or flaws, making it impossible to investigate. Of course, we cannot rule out the actions of a few radical remnants of the Ming clan."
"If they put on the clothes of various outside factions and get some identity tokens, it is possible for them to get away with it. But the prerequisite is that they don't speak. Once they speak, their flaws will be revealed. Do you think this is possible?" The boy asked. Turning around, he asked.
"It shouldn't be big."
"Well, pass on the order quickly. The secret realm will undergo major changes. We must hurry up and eliminate the remnants of the Ming clan. This must be completed within half a year. Otherwise, once the secret realm is broken, it will be troublesome for those remnants to escape. Also, send people secretly. Search for those who carry out sneak attacks, and if found, shoot them without mercy!"
"Yes! Young Master, I dare to ask one more question, when will this secret realm collapse?"
"At least one and a half years, no more than three years at most." The young man stood with his hands behind his hands and raised his brows.
"Then I'll wait..." The big man's expression changed and he muttered.
"It doesn't matter, Grandmaster Yun has long predicted that the end of the secret realm of the shrine has arrived, and it will collapse sooner or later. Even if it completely collapses, it will only have a few more channels to connect to the outside world. By then, the secret realm will become one with the outside world, and gravity and time will no longer exist. Being consistent will naturally not endanger our lives.
Also, it has been a year since I entered the secret realm. Calculating time, there are still two years left before the teleportation can begin. However, despite the grandmaster's deduction, everything is unpredictable. It is better for you and me to make plans in advance. I hope that the secret realm will not collapse before we are teleported. "
"My subordinates can rest assured. Grandmaster Yun's words will definitely be correct. There are only a few Tongxuan Grandmasters in the entire Hezhou continent, and their predictions are almost always accurate."
The well-dressed man was quite convinced of Grandmaster Yun.
"I hope so. Well, let's go do some business."
"Yes, young master." The man took the order and left.
"Shan Tong, please quickly send a message to Sui Ling and ask the leaders of the four major aristocratic families to go to Daquan Peak to talk." The young man ordered again.
"Yes, young master." Another big man was also sent down.
On the second day, Qi Sihai took two more qi-boosting pills for Qi Jiang, and Qi Jiang's face became more colorful.
After three days of this, Qi Sihai crushed the millennium drunken orchid into pieces and fed it to Qi Jiang.
Thousand-year-old Drunk Orchid is indeed the elixir that brings the dead back to life, and Qi Jiang woke up just one day later.
Coupled with the cooperation of the Qi-Building Pill, after another five days, he was able to get out of bed and walk.
"I would like to thank you for saving my life!" Qi Jiangxing thanked him profusely.
"Haha, Brother Qi, please get up. Zhou is just a little help." Zhou Yang helped Qi Jiang up with both hands.
"Brother, this gentleman knows the hostage sister!" Qi Mei suddenly said.
"Oh? Sir, you..."
"Zhou lives in Zhou Tianzong in Dingbeicheng. She is my junior sister and she takes great care of me." Zhou Yang said smoothly.
"I see." Qi Jiang glanced at Qi Sihai but said no more.
"Chief Qi, please forgive me for saying a few more words. Your Excellency is the superior of our clan. He lives in Dingbei Zhou Tianzong, and he also takes care of that woman. Although she made a big mistake, she was ordered by others and had to do it as a last resort. , can you spare her life for the sake of my lord? If she makes trouble for our clan again in the future, she will be killed without mercy."
Seeing that Qi Sihai still didn't express his position, You Chi offered words of advice.
"Hmph, You Chi, what will you do if she kills your tribe?" Qi Sihai snorted coldly.
"This... Chief Qi, there are so many people besieging my clan, so killing just one weak woman is useless. You think this is good, let me wait and kill ten more outside cultivators in exchange for this woman's life how?"
You Chi's reaction was really fast and he immediately came up with an idea.
"Father, although this woman has killed members of my tribe, she has tried to stop outside cultivators from harming our women and children. If she still has any kindness left, why not spare her life!"
Qi He also began to plead with his father.
He didn't dare to say anything before, but when he saw You Chi coming up with such a method, he opened his mouth to say good things for Xi Danjin.
He was defeated by Zhou Yang and admired his strength. Later, Zhou Yang regarded treasures as dirt and rescued Qi Jiang with righteousness, and he became very fond of Zhou Yang.
He saved his eldest brother in exchange for a weak woman, so he should agree both emotionally and rationally.
"Is it any use to resist? Didn't more than twenty old, weak, women and children die tragically on the spot?" Qi Sihai said angrily.
"But you also saved your eldest brother's life. Isn't that enough to trade one life for another? Besides, eldest brother You also wants to kill ten people to sacrifice the souls of our clan. Isn't this condition enough?"
Qi He was angrily scolded by Qi Sihai, and his heart trembled, but he still had the courage to speak out.
"What do you know? I will definitely repay you generously for your kindness, but it's worth it. For those who slaughtered the Qi people, cutting them into pieces with thousands of swords is not enough to express the hatred in my heart!" Qi Sihai was still stubborn.
"Father!"
"Back off!" Qi He wanted to say more, but was shouted back by Qi Sihai.
"Clan Chief Qi doesn't give you any face at all!" Zhou Yang's face also darkened.
He is kind to the Qi family, and he even begged for mercy from your son, but he didn't even give him any face. What a stubborn old man.
"Sir, I don't dare. It's just, alas!" Qi Sihai was in a dilemma.
On the one hand, it was the hatred of genocide, and on the other hand, it was the superiors of the Qi family who were kind to him. He couldn't make up his mind about such a choice.
"Hmph! Chief Qi, my two brothers respect you as their elders, so they have humbly begged you again and again, but don't forget, no matter how elder you are, you are still no bigger than the higher-ups!" You Chi said angrily.
"Yes, my lord saved your son's life without saying a word, and also promised to avenge the blood and hatred of our clan. What else do you want? Do you want me to kneel down and beg you?" You Qing stopped doing it and blasted towards him like a barrage of cannons. Qi Sihai.
"You Qing, this is my family matter, you don't need to be an outsider to take care of it!" Qi Sihai's face was ashen.
"You! Brother, if Mr. Qi doesn't let go, I'll just grab it!" You Qing was so angry at Qi Sihai that he reached out and pulled out a long knife.
"I want to take action, but I'm afraid you won't be able to do it!" Qi Sihai showed no sign of weakness and showed his weapon to fight.
Qi He looked bitter, but he could only stand on his father's side.
"What are you doing? Father, put away your weapons quickly. Don't disturb your lord. This is a crime of disrespect! Brother You, put down your weapons too. If you have anything to say, cough!" Qi Jiang saw this and hurriedly stopped him.
He was still very weak, and when he was anxious, he couldn't help but cough repeatedly.
"Jiang'er, go back to the house quickly!" Qi Sihai saw his eldest son teetering on the verge of falling and hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him.
"You Chi, You Qing, take your weapons back!" Zhou Yang shouted in a deep voice.
"Chief Qi, Zhou has always been bright and honest in his actions, and he is more righteous and trustworthy! Today, I have secured the bail for this woman. Just put your words down and make any demands you have. Zhou will bear it with all his strength. Whatever he can do, I will Let’s do it!” Zhou Yang waved his hand to shout the You brothers away, and then made a decisive move.
"Your Excellency, this is embarrassing my subordinates!" Qi Sihai looked frightened. After all, Zhou Yang was also a high-ranking person comparable to the Great Elder, so he must not be offended.
"Tell me, what are the conditions?" Zhou Yang said coldly.
"Sir, if it was not because of my subordinates' disobedience, hundreds of members of our Qi tribe died tragically, and this woman also had a blood debt. If I let her go like this, how could I be worthy of my tribe's spirit in heaven, and how could I explain it to the Palace of Eternal Life and the Council of Elders! "Qi Sihai looked sad.
"First, You Qing just said that I will kill ten more outside cultivators to comfort the spirits of the Qi people in heaven. If you think it is not enough, then I will kill ten more people. We will do what we say and we will never regret it!
Second, I have to deal with the Presbyterian Council and the Hall of Eternal Life on my own. If the patriarch feels that Zhou’s identity is not enough, he can work with Zhou to find the Hall of Eternal Life and the Presbyterian Council! "
Zhou Yang's words are so important that they cannot be refuted.
"How dare I, my subordinates! It's just..."
"Father, this is what I have said, you should just accept it!" Qi He interrupted at the right time.
"Father, if you sit back and watch this girl being cut into pieces, wouldn't you be breaking your trust in the sect and the world? She will be abandoned by the world. I hope my father will be more generous!" After listening for a long time, Qi Jiang understood the cause and effect, and then urged.
"Yes, father, you have saved your eldest brother and will avenge our clan, so please let go of your hostage sister! If you have any conditions, just ask them!" Qi Mei said with her big watery eyes.
These words sounded like a plea, but there was something in them.
"This little girl is really too shrewd!" Zhou Yang and others all looked sideways.
"This... oh, my family is so unfortunate, why did you three unworthy sons come out!"
Qi Sihai pointed at his three children, sighed, and glared at Qi Mei fiercely, thinking to himself, how could you hide this little trick from this adult?
"Father!"
"Okay, for the sake of my lord, let me spare this woman."
"Thank you, Chief Qi!" Zhou Yang was overjoyed and hurriedly saluted.
"Don't dare! I have no other conditions. I hope you will keep your promise!" Qi Sihai hurriedly supported Zhou Yang.
"Of course, as a gentleman says, four horses are hard to catch! You Chi, quickly hand over three storage bags and a magic weapon to Chief Qi and the others!" Zhou Yang ordered again.
"Yes, sir." You Chi took out three storage bags and handed them to Qi Sihai, Qi Jiang and Qi Mei respectively.
"Sir, this..."
"No matter what, these items will be given to you, so don't refuse." Zhou Yang waved his hand.
"Okay, I'll thank you, sir!" Qi Sihai and the others happily accepted it.
