Chapter 432: Confidence
No matter how many times you wear it, flattery will never wear out.
It can be said that the Tianyan Sect lost a lot of face and dignity in public today because of the performance of the Supervisor and Jiang Shengyun.
However, Qin Ziling's words somewhat restored some face and dignity to the Tianyan Sect.
Because what Qin Ziling said was nothing more than one meaning, that the top leadership of Tianyan Sect was still good, but there were just a few bad guys below.
Therefore, the Supreme Elder and the Sect Master were very pleased with Qin Ziling's words and nodded slightly to show their agreement.
"Zi Ling, tell me your second request!" The beautiful and otherworldly Supreme Elder spoke to Qin Zi Ling in a very gentle tone.
It no longer had the ethereal and deserted feeling that I had when I first arrived, as if a fairy had been banished to the mortal world. Instead, it now had a more worldly feel.
Jian Bailou saw that the Tianyan Sect's Grand Elder and Sect Master obviously had a liking for Qin Ziling, and he couldn't help but look at them with a subtle look.
It’s true!
"Once Jiang Shengyun passes the heavenly tribulation, he will be a Jindan master and the supreme elder of Tianyan Sect. Although my chances of winning are slim at that time, since I have to fight, I must have the belief that I will win! Therefore, I want to sign a life and death battle agreement with Jiang Shengyun, and I would like to ask the supreme elder and the sect master to sign their names on it as witnesses, and also ask everyone present to help bear witness. The battle will be in two months, and life and death will be decided by fate. No matter who lives and who dies, no one can pursue it afterwards." Qin Ziling said.
Upon hearing this, Jian Bailou couldn't help but think of the battle several years ago when Qin Ziling of Qinghe County represented the Cui family in the battle against the Hou family and the Wen family of Biyun Sect. He shook his head secretly in his heart, what an old trick!
"Since it's a life-and-death battle, it should be like this. What do you think, Jiang Shengyun?" The Supreme Elder nodded, then looked at Jiang Shengyun and asked coldly.
"Of course!" Jiang Shengyun nodded.
"Then let's sign a life-and-death battle!" said the supreme elder calmly.
Next, the two sides signed a life-and-death battle.
Then, Jiang Shengyun rolled up Jiang Guangquan's body and stepped on the fire dragon to fly away.
"Grand Elder, Sect Master, thank you for your visit. Please come into Qincheng so that our Qin family can show us how to be a good host." Qin Jianmei bowed to the Grand Elder and Sect Master.
"No, today's incident is too serious. I need to go back and inform Grand Elder Shang Pu." The Grand Elder waved his hand, then his eyes fell on Qin Ziling. His lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just nodded to Qin Ziling, then nodded to Lai Yiran, and then flew away with the sect master on the blue bird.
Watching the Grand Elder and the Sect Master leave on their blue bird, Qin Jianmei's eyes revealed a look of loss and worry.
The attitudes of the Grand Elder and the Sect Master clearly show that they are not optimistic about Qin Ziling!
"Hey, Ziling, just now..." Lai Yinuan looked at Qin Ziling, not knowing what to say to this beloved disciple.
"Let's go back to the city and talk about it." Qin Ziling said.
Everyone nodded and went home.
When Qin Ziling returned to Qincheng, all the young men in Qincheng bowed to him silently.
"Teacher Lai, this is my other teacher Jian Bailou." Qin Ziling specially introduced Jian Bailou to Lai Yinuan.
"It's Brother Jian, hello!" Lai Yi Nuan was not proud of his status and bowed quickly.
Jian Bailou naturally hurried to return the gift, but he was secretly feeling deeply moved in his heart. In the past, he would never have been qualified to be on friendly terms with the Master Xuan of the Tianyan Sect.
…
Qincheng, clan leader's residence, meeting hall.
Sitting there were six members of the Qin family, Qin Jianmei, Qin Longyuan, Qin Longzhen, Qin Zaixin, Qin Zitang, and Qin Ziling, as well as four outsiders, Lai Yinuan, Ruan Qiang, Jian Bailou, and Zheng Xinghan.
The great-grand uncles Qin Longzhen and Qin Zitang, who were in charge of the Sutra Repository, became the two most important elders of the Qin family because of their special relationship with Qin Ziling. Even Qin Xingjun and Qin Zijiao, who had just been promoted to grand masters, could not compare with them.
This can be seen from the fact that among the elders of the Qin family, except Qin Ziling, the clan leader and his father Qin Longyuan, there are only two of them in the meeting hall today. This shows their current status in the Qin family.
"Zi Ling, your promise just now was a bit rash! With Senior Brother Lai and I's status, if we really wanted to argue on our merits, we could still hope to avoid the war in two months. At least we could postpone the war, and then you would have more hope." Qin Jianmei said.
“Don’t worry, Grandma Gao, we have to strike while the iron is hot. If it drags on, I’m afraid that if I kill Jiang Shengyun again, I will not only face Jiang Shengyun, but the entire Tianyan Sect.
You, Mr. Lai, and Uncle Ruan are all disciples of Tianyan Sect. If I become an enemy of Tianyan Sect, how can you get along? So I can only take advantage of today to fight a life-and-death battle!" Qin Ziling said.
When Qin Ziling said this, except for Jian Bailou who was stroking his white beard and looked like a master who already knew everything, Lai Yinuan and others were all shocked and it took them a while to recover.
"Two months later, do you have the confidence to kill Jiang Shengyun?" Lai Yi Nuan said in shock.
"If I hadn't been worried that killing Jiang Shengyun today would lead to suppression from the Tianyan Sect, I would have been able to kill Jiang Shengyun today!" Qin Ziling said.
As soon as Qin Ziling said this, everyone felt a buzzing in their ears that lasted for a long time.
Jiang Shengyun is the number one person below the Jindan masters in the Tianyan Sect. He has a high success rate in overcoming the tribulation. Even the strength of the Tianyan Sect's leader is three points inferior to him. It is precisely because of this that the Supervisor Gongsun Yun, who is also a great master, would deliberately try to please him, even at the cost of breaking off relations with Lai Yinuan.
In other words, to kill Jiang Shengyun, it basically requires the Jindan Patriarch to take action!
Qin Ziling is now confident that he can kill Jiang Shengyun, which means that even if his strength has not reached the level of a Golden Core Patriarch, it is almost the same.
"But once Jiang Shengyun overcomes the thunder tribulation and becomes a Jindan master, his strength will definitely improve greatly! In just two months..." After a long time, Lai Yinuan spoke again, his voice a little hoarse.
"I am confident that I can take my strength to a higher level within two months," Qin Ziling said.
The whole hall suddenly became quiet.
Even Jian Bailou, who had already figured it out in his mind, forgot to stroke his white beard.
"Dragon Pond! I almost forgot that you have never entered Dragon Pond!" Qin Jianmei suddenly said excitedly.
"That's right. I am also a descendant of the Qin family. If I can enter Longtan, my strength should be able to be improved." Qin Ziling replied.
"You can go in, of course you can! No one in the entire Qin family is more qualified to enter the Dragon Pond than you!" Qin Jianmei said excitedly, "With your strong blood and pure blood, if you enter the Dragon Pond, the benefits you will get will definitely far exceed those of Xingjun and Zijiao. No wonder you are so sure, it turns out you already have a plan in mind!"
"Plan before you act, think before you decide, how powerful! Just now I thought you were just showing off your courage and acting on impulse!" Ruan Qiang's heart finally settled down, and the look he gave Qin Ziling was full of appreciation and admiration.
He seemed to be a smooth and versatile person, but he was actually very disappointed with Qin Ziling's impulsive behavior just now.
In his opinion, Qin Ziling is so capable at such a young age. As long as he is willing to be more tactful and put more thought into his work, he will have plenty of opportunities to kill Jiang Shengyun in the future. Why should he force himself into a desperate situation just for a moment of bloodiness?
Only now did he realize that Qin Ziling did this in order to kill Jiang Shengyun as quickly as possible without leaving any future trouble.
Otherwise, with Jiang Shengyun's identity, if Qin Ziling wanted to kill Jiang Shengyun, he would first have to face the behemoth Tianyan Sect!
Now the life-and-death battle was proposed by Jiang Shengyun, and Jiang Shengyun has gained all the advantages. The leader and the supreme elder of Tianyan Sect have also signed their names on the life-and-death battle. When Qin Ziling really kills Jiang Shengyun in two months, Tianyan Sect will have nothing to say anymore.
Thinking back to the fact that Qin Ziling was so powerful, but he had been holding back from taking action, waiting for the prince to send a master to take action before he took action. This was a step-by-step process, one linked to another, and his thinking was so meticulous that even a man as quick-witted and scheming as Ruan Qiang had to admire him.
"Haha, uncle master, you are too kind. I will just take it one step at a time." Qin Ziling smiled and waved his hand, said modestly, then looked at Lai Yi Nuan, his expression gradually became serious.
