Chapter 418: The War Begins
After a while, the elders saw that when Qin Jianmei came out again, she gave people a feeling of vitality and was no longer gloomy.
"Aunt, you..." Qin Longyuan walked forward with a look of surprise.
"Thanks to Ziling, I'm out of trouble now. I should be able to recover in a few days." Qin Jianmei said.
Everyone was surprised and delighted when they heard this.
After a while, everyone digested the news. Qin Longyuan asked again, "If you recover, will you be a Grandmaster or a Mystic Master?"
"Master Xuan." Qin Jianmei replied.
The two words "Xuanshi" echoed in the sky above the ancestral temple.
There was complete silence all around; even the approaching footsteps outside the city seemed very far away at this moment.
Originally all the elders of the clan had already made up their minds to die, but suddenly, two masters appeared in the Qin family!
One school, two masters!
In the entire Great Qi State, how many families are so powerful and glorious!
"Qin Zaixin, you are a traitor who has colluded with the Demon Cult and committed rebellion. Why don't you open the city gates immediately and surrender!" Suddenly, a majestic and loud voice came from outside the city, echoing in the sky above Qincheng, breaking the quiet scene.
The elders suddenly came to their senses.
"It's that old villain Xie Duanyi!" Qin Xingbao said, with hatred in his eyes .
Last time in the capital, he stood up for justice and was whipped in the street by the princess.
In one of the two carriages behind the princess sat Xie Duanyi, the head of the Xie family. It was he who recognized Qin Xingbao as the new master of the Qin family, which was why the princess ordered people to tie him up and deliberately beat and humiliate .
"Uncle, it's impolite not to reciprocate! You are the clan leader, it's your turn to come out!" Qin Ziling turned his head and said to Qin Zaixin.
"Okay!" Qin Zaixin nodded, jumped up from the platform, stepped on the back of a flaming eagle, and flew onto the city wall.
"Teacher, let's go over too." Qin Ziling said to Jian Bailou and others.
"Okay!" Everyone nodded, then stepped on the Blood Eagle and flew towards the city wall.
Qincheng is now guarded by five cloud dragons coiled around it, which not only blocks the aura within the city, but also allows people from outside to only vaguely see the figures flashing inside, but cannot see them clearly.
Outside the city, there was already a huge black army standing.
The army was divided into five square formations, with swords and spears everywhere, flags covering the sky, and a murderous aura shaking the heavens.
In front of each square formation, there are fifteen martial arts masters wearing armor, holding weapons, and riding on tall and mighty exotic beasts.
The strange horses snorted from time to time, and hot air rushed out of their nostrils.
In front of each phalanx, except for the leftmost phalanx which has no grandmaster, the other four phalanxes have a grandmaster taking the lead, standing proudly, with powerful and surging blood rising into the sky, which can even faintly compete with the evil spirit rising into the sky from the phalanx army behind him.
Among the fourteen grandmasters behind the grandmaster, there are two middle grandmasters and the rest are junior grandmasters.
In addition to these fifteen martial arts masters, there are two Qi-refining masters standing in the air above each square formation, making a total of ten, two of whom are middle-level masters and the rest are junior masters.
Outside the city, in addition to the army, some people appeared in the distant sky at some point in time.
Most of these people came riding on exotic birds.
Lai Yinuan and the owner of Canglang Island who played chess with him that year were also present.
The two of them did not ride on any exotic birds, but instead stood on a flying magical instrument shaped like a white cloud.
Most of the other people gathered in groups of three or five, but the two of them did not gather with the others. Instead, they stood alone in an empty sky.
"Almost all the forces in Wuzhou who have a little bit of face have come. Many people from other states and counties have also come. People from the Imperial Observatory have also come. I wonder if the director of the Imperial Observatory has come?" On the white cloud, the owner of Canglang Island looked around from afar and said to Lai Yinuan.
"Since we have already let the prince destroy the Qin family, what difference does it make whether he comes or not?" Lai Yi Nuan said indifferently, with a hint of dissatisfaction and sarcasm in his tone.
“Brother, it’s fate and time. Why bother about it too much? Besides, you and Qin Jianmei don’t have a very deep friendship. Just watch the fun.” The owner of Canglang Island said with a wry smile.
"It's fate? Haha!" Lai Yinuan smiled and shook his head when he heard that, and no one knew what he was laughing at.
"Why don't we just forget it? We won't watch this commotion. The outcome is already determined anyway." The owner of Canglang Island said, looking at the army outside the city from afar.
"Don't worry, I know my current capabilities. I just want to see if I can still keep a registered disciple I accepted a few days ago with my current appearance!" Lai Yinuan said.
"Your registered disciple is a member of the Qin family?" The Lord of Canglang Island showed a hint of surprise.
"He's the guy you saw last time who threw Yi Mu Yin Lei at the Xie family. Later, by chance, I met him again, and I took him in as my registered disciple. He is a promising person, but he also has a problem, so I think he will definitely rush back to the Qin family to die this time!" Lai Yinuan said.
“Alas, since you know that he is a member of the Qin family, why did you accept him as a registered disciple, brother?” The Lord of Canglang Island said with a wry smile.
"Do I need to look at other people's faces before I accept someone as my disciple?" Lai Yi Nuan asked.
"That's not what I meant. Forget it. Since senior brother insists on staying to watch the fun, then just stay." The owner of Canglang Island looked at Lai Yinuan and wanted to say a few words, but in the end he shook his head helplessly.
While Lai Yinuan and the owner of Canglang Island were standing on the white clouds and talking, many people were whispering in the sky in other directions.
"The Xie family, Che family, Gan family, Dugu family and the Red Flame Army, one of the five major military camps guarding Wuzhou, have a total of 5,000 soldiers. It's not a lot of people, but they are all elite. There are also 85 masters, including 4 grand masters! Not to mention that the prince also brought a hundred guards, among which there are also masters. The Qin family can gather 40 masters at most, and there is no grand master. The difference in strength between the two sides is huge!"
"Yes, the prince is going to use his absolute strength to destroy the Qin family with the force of thunder, so as to shock all forces in Wuzhou! Unfortunately, the Qin family's thousand-year foundation is destroyed in an instant!"
"The Qin family has already activated the city defense formation. It is said that this city defense formation was set up by a powerful ancestor of the Qin family. It is extremely powerful. Although the prince's army is elite and has many masters, it is not easy to break through Qin City."
"A formation also needs people to control it. The Qin family doesn't even have a grandmaster right now, so how powerful can the formation be? Moreover, the prince has mobilized so many grandmasters this time. If they all work together, it will be as powerful as a mountain collapse or an earth splitting. No matter how powerful this formation is, how long can it last?"
"Well, that's true!"
" A while ago, the Crown Prince sent troops to attack Nanding Prefecture in the name of revenge for Che Rongshu, and took the opportunity to control most of the troops in the four southwestern prefectures. If he destroys the Qin family this time, his influence will be even greater, and no other prince will be able to compete with him!"
"How unfair God is! He didn't kill Jiang Guangquan, but let such a cruel person become the crown prince! He is so cruel even before he ascends the throne. If he treats the Qin family like this, he will definitely be even more cruel when he ascends the throne!"
"Shh, keep your voice down, don't say that!"
“…”
The crowd was divided into small groups, discussing privately with different expressions.
Some people were just gossiping and watching the fun, some were gloating, some were angry, and some had sullen faces...
While everyone was talking, a section of the cloud dragon protecting Qin City suddenly rolled up and split into two sides, revealing Qin Zaixin standing on the city wall.
Qin Zaixin was dressed in armor and holding a spear.
He stood proudly on the city wall, pointed his spear at Xie Duanyi who was running ahead of him and dozens of feet away from the city wall, and cursed him in a stern voice: "Xie Duanyi, you sinister villain, stop slandering me! My Qin family has always been upright and loyal to the court. My uncle once guarded the border for many years for the Great Qi State and made great contributions. My great-aunt is a true disciple of the Tianyan Sect, secretly protecting the Great Qi State from the harm of the Demon Sect.
As a child of the Qin family and the head of the Qin family, how could I do such a thing as colluding with the Demon Cult and committing a rebellion? More than 20 years ago, you joined forces to plot against the head of my Qin family and the elders in the name of entering the cave to exterminate the demons, causing great damage to my Qin family. Do you really think we don't know?
Now that you have seen my great-aunt fail in Tempering Thunder, you are slandering my Qin Family with false charges. Everyone knows that you are plotting against my Qin Family’s thousand-year-old foundation and my Qin Family’s ancestral land!
And you, Jiang Guangquan, you are a cruel and ruthless bastard. In order to eliminate dissidents, you ordered people to plot against the head of my Qin family and the elders. You also forced the elders of my Qin family to sleep with you many times. Now you want to start a war against my Qin family, kill tens of thousands of my Qin family members, and plot against my Qin family's ancestral land. You are a demon, and you are not worthy of being the crown prince at all!"
Speaking of the latter part, Qin Zaixin suddenly pointed the spear in his hand at the chariot in the air behind the army, and the tip of the spear flickered with a cold light.
The voice was loud and righteous, echoing between heaven and earth like thunder, and could be heard for dozens of miles.
"How dare you slander His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Qin Zaixin, you deserve to die!" Xie Duanyi shouted loudly, holding the nine-hole ring knife in his hand, and the whole person suddenly flew dozens of feet into the air. The strong force under his feet rolled up gusts of air and strong wind, carrying him as he swung the knife at Qin Zaixin to kill him.
The knife chopped forward, and suddenly the blade light burst out more than ten feet, tearing the air apart.
As the huge sword swung across the sky with great force, a ferocious tiger shadow suddenly appeared in the void, and a tiger roar was heard, shaking the four directions and making people tremble with fear.
"The Black Tiger God-killing Sword! Xie Duanyi has obviously comprehended the meaning of the sword. This sword is slashed out with the meaning of the Black Tiger integrated into it. The power is really terrifying. Qin Zaixin certainly dare not go against its edge and can only retreat back to the formation!" Someone exclaimed in the distance.
