Chapter 514: Direct Attack on the Lair
"What's going on? Didn't you say Changfeng's mother passed away?" Qin Ziling was slightly shocked when he heard this and asked.
"I was worried about affecting Changfeng's growth, so the old island master and I lied to him and told him that his mother died not long after he was born. In fact, his wife did not die, but when the young island master was just one year old, he was accidentally spotted by the old thief Gou Huan when he went out and was forcibly robbed.
The lady naturally refused to obey, but for the sake of the lives of the island master and the young island master, she could only pretend to be submissive, endure humiliation and live by obeying the old thief Gou Huan, who then spared the lives of the island master and the young island master. In the past few years, the island master recruited people everywhere, and regardless of the dangers, he often went out to meet immortals, and even went to explore the immortal ruins, in fact, in order to become a true immortal as soon as possible, kill the old thief Gou Huan, and save the lady from the devil's cave.
But the heavens were unfair. Not only did the island owner fail to fulfill his wish, but he was killed by a villain. If we hadn't met you on the way to escape, even his only son would have died at the hands of a villain. "Qu Zhong replied.
"No wonder your eyes were filled with hatred and murderous intent when you mentioned Gou Huan. And when you asked about Changfeng's mother, you said she was gone. I thought she had passed away. It turns out you meant she was not in Qingyun Fairy Island." After listening to Qu Zhong's words, Qin Ziling recalled the scene when they first met, and he couldn't help but wake up.
"The old villain Gou Huan is a true immortal and the General Zhenxi of the Fire Ape Kingdom. Not only does he have the support of the king, but he is also very powerful and has many experts under his command. Apart from harboring hatred towards him, there is actually nothing I can do. Not only can I not do anything, but I also have to pay him extra tribute every five years with some of my hard-earned wealth." Qu Zhong said with a look of unwillingness and helplessness.
Qin Ziling touched his chin upon hearing this and said in a telepathic voice, "You brought this up to me now because you're worried that if I showed off my strength just now and fell into the eyes and ears of the old villain Gou Huan, he would harm me?"
"That's right, sir. I wanted to keep the matter of my wife to myself and never mention it again, because it would only increase hatred and troubles, but it would be useless. But today, sir, you showed your strength, and your strength is close to that of a quasi-true immortal. Brother Feng and others are also quite amazing.
With the character of the old villain Gou Huan, he could spare the life of the young island master for the sake of his wife, because in his eyes, the young island master was just an ant, he could crush him to death as he wanted, and he could not threaten him at all. But now that there is a powerful figure like Mr. next to the young island master, the situation is different, he will never tolerate a powerful figure next to the young island master. "Seeing that Qin Ziling pointed out his worries with just one word, Qu Zhong could not help but admire and worry.
"Things are not as serious as you think." Qin Ziling was silent for a moment, and then he said, "Since the old villain Gou Huan has kept Chang Feng alive, it means that Chang Feng's mother is still in his favor, and the strength I just showed is not enough to pose a threat to him.
Therefore, in this situation, given the old villain Gou Huan's identity and the agreement between him and Chang Feng's mother, he probably won't attack me personally, but will use the Floating Fairy Island and the Blood Cloud Fairy Island to destroy the Qingyun Fairy Island.
I was just wondering in my heart, why did the Zhenxi General's Mansion not send anyone to stop the commotion when it was so big? So this is the problem. He wanted me to have a big grudge with the Floating Fairy Island so that he could kill someone with a borrowed knife, or force me to surrender to him."
Upon hearing this, Qu Zhong suddenly realized why there was such a big commotion here just now, but there was no movement at all in the Zhenxi General’s Mansion.
However, the worry in Qu Zhong's eyes did not diminish.
As long as General Zhenxi has the intention to kill, it will be of no avail even if Qingyun Fairy Island can stop Fukong Fairy Island and Xueyun Fairy Island.
On the contrary, once Qingyun Fairy Island can block Floating Fairy Island and Blood Cloud Fairy Island, General Zhenxi's murderous intention will only become more determined, and he will personally lead people to take action sooner or later.
By then, Qingyun Fairy Island will still not be able to escape the disaster!
As for Qin Ziling's surrender to the General Zhenxi, Qu Zhong was not worried.
With Qin Ziling's ability, if he really wanted to do this, there would be no point for Qu Zhong to worry.
"You don't have to worry too much. Things will work out when the time comes. As long as that old villain Gou Huan doesn't take action now and delays for a while, there will be a chance for the situation to turn around." Qin Ziling saw the worry on Qu Zhong's face, thought about it, and comforted him through thoughts.
Qu Zhong was a smart man. He saw that Qin Ziling had been very calm from beginning to end and had analyzed things clearly, unlike himself who was worried. Now he spoke to comfort him, and his heart was shocked. He looked up at Qin Ziling, his eyes full of shock and disbelief.
Qin Ziling smiled and nodded to Qu Zhong, then he didn't send any more messages to him.
Qu Zhong is not a core figure of Wujimen, and what Qin Ziling has said is enough.
In fact, even though he is a core figure of Wuji Sect, Qin Ziling is somewhat reserved about his own methods and strength, and will not entrust them all to others.
…
The Sky-piercing Immortal Shuttle is flying above the sea.
Qin Ziling took the opportunity to erase the marks of Duanmu Song's flying sword, Bai Zhi's Xuan Cui Shan and other immortal artifacts, and then put them into the cave world one by one. Only Bai Zhi's Xuan Cui Shan was left, which he played with in his hand, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
"After the Mountain Seal was refined with Wind and Thunder, it not only gained more power from the Wind and Thunder spells, but also improved its speed and agility. However, the essence of the Mountain Seal is a heavy and powerful magical weapon that can break all spells with one force. I have never been able to improve it in this regard, because refining an entire vein of ore is extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive.
The material of this Xuancui Mountain is excellent, extremely hard and heavy. It is a ready-made material. I just need to find a way to refine it into the Mountain Seal. When the two are fused into one, the power of the Mountain Seal will surely double, and it will become a mid-grade immortal weapon, which can save me a lot of time and energy."
Qin Ziling thought about it for a while before putting Xuan Cuishan away.
After putting away Xuan Cuishan, Qin Ziling thought for a while, took out two hundred low-grade immortal stones, ten "Infant-raising Immortal Pills", and a top-grade Xuanbao and gave them to Qu Zhong.
"You put in a lot of effort just now, so these are yours," Qin Ziling said.
"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. If it wasn't for..." Qu Zhong was so scared when he saw Qin Ziling took so many things and gave them to him at once that he quickly waved his hands.
"There's nothing to be ashamed of. Merits should be rewarded, and mistakes should be punished. You really put in a lot of effort this time, and we gained a lot this time, so this is nothing." Qin Ziling interrupted with a wave of his hand.
The people of the Floating Fairy Island are still very wealthy, especially Duanmu Song, who is the fourth elder of the Floating Fairy Island. The wealth he carries with him is even more astonishing.
This time, Qin Ziling robbed Duanmu Song and the ten earthly immortals and half-immortals who were accompanying him. Not to mention other resources and magic weapons, the immortal stones alone converted into low-grade immortal stones amounted to nearly 20,000 pieces. What he gave to Qu Zhong was just a small amount, which was indeed not much.
"Thank you, sir!" After hearing Qin Ziling say this, Qu Zhong happily put away the magic stones and other things.
"Although you didn't make any moves, you are still considered as helping out. Each of you can get five lower-grade immortal stones."
After Qin Ziling finished speaking, he distributed five low-grade immortal stones to each of the Jindan Banxian from Qingyun Fairy Island who were accompanying him.
Five low-grade immortal stones are already a considerable fortune for a Jindan Semi-Immortal.
The Jindan Semi-Immortals did not expect that they could earn a windfall just by watching the battle from the sidelines. They were all grateful and happy, and felt that it was great to work with Mr. Qin.
…
On the sea, Bai Zhi led his men onto the giant flying magic bird that Duanmu Song was riding.
"Fourth Elder, what should we do now?" Bai Zhi asked with a gloomy face.
Fortunately, he ran fast this time, so he suffered less physical pain and the loss was relatively small.
But having Xuancui Mountain taken away was like taking out a piece of his heart, making him extremely heartbroken.
"Can you contact your cousin? Our communication talismans were just taken away by that thief ." Duanmu Song asked with a dark face.
"This distance should be enough to contact my cousin." Bai Zhi replied.
The communication talisman is actually also a magic weapon.
The distance of communication is related to the quality of the communication talisman and the cultivation level of the communicator.
"Then you send a message to the Great Elder and report to him what happened here. Tell him that it was this elder who said it, and ask him to come to Pingyu West City to meet us immediately. This guy humiliated us like this, and took away all our personal property. This elder cannot swallow this humiliation no matter what, and must not let him return to Qingyun Island safely." Duanmu Song said gritting his teeth.
"Okay!" Bai Zhi nodded in reply, with a fierce light in his eyes, and said: "Then I will make sure that kid wishes he were dead!"
After saying that, Bai Zhi took out the communication talisman and used his immortal power to perform the communication method.
Floating Fairy Island, Qiyun Palace.
The great elder Bai Xuan, who has a thin face, wide sleeves and looks like an immortal, holds a palm-sized, shell-shaped communication talisman in his hand. He looks at the characters floating on it like swimming fish, with a gloomy and ugly expression.
"Big Brother, what's the matter that you called me here in such a hurry?" Just as Bai Xuan was looking at the characters on the communication talisman in his hand with a gloomy face, a short and strong man strode into the hall and shouted.
"Something happened to the fourth brother." Bai Xuan said with a gloomy face. As he spoke, a shell-shaped communication talisman fell into the hands of the short and strong man.
"How dare you! I'm so angry! It's simply lawless! Big Brother, there's nothing to think about. Let's set off immediately to Pingyu West City and chop that thief and all the people from Qingyun Island into meat paste!" The short and strong man glanced at the communication talisman, and suddenly became murderous and shouted fiercely with a fierce look on his face.
"If I could leave, I would have left long ago. Why would I ask you to come? My master is out and he probably won't be back for a year or two. I must stay in the Floating Fairy Island and cannot leave. Otherwise, if something happens on the Floating Fairy Island, who will be able to take responsibility!" Bai Xuan frowned.
"So that's it! So the senior brother wants me to lead the group there? Okay, I'll lead the group there right away." The short and strong man suddenly realized.
"Instead of leading people to Pingyu West City, you should directly lead people to attack Qingyun Island." Bai Xuan waved his hand.
"Why?" the short and stocky man frowned.
"That villain was able to easily defeat Bai Zhi and others, and was able to suppress Duanmu Song. It's not an exaggeration to say that he is a quasi-true immortal. His strength is probably only slightly inferior to mine. Although you are stronger than the fourth brother, it is also limited. If you take people there, even if you join forces with the fourth brother, it will be difficult to stop him, and you may even lose soldiers and generals.
Moreover, it is quite far to Pingyu West City, and it takes some time to go back and forth. If the thief becomes suspicious and sneaks away immediately after paying tribute, even if you bring people with you, you will most likely end up empty-handed.
Therefore, the most reliable way is to raid his lair while they are not in Qingyun Island. Qingyun Island invited a powerful formation master from somewhere to set up a powerful formation. More than two years ago, the formation alone blocked the attack of Tu Liao and his men.
If we wait for them to return to Qingyun Island, with their strength and the island protection formation, it will be much more difficult for you to break through Qingyun Island. I can't get away, so I might have to sacrifice a lot of lives, and the loss will be huge. "Baek Hyun explained.
"I have also heard about Tu Liao's attack on Qingyun Island. Brother, you have considered it very carefully. In that case, I will take some people to attack Qingyun Island directly and let that villain get away with it for a few more days." The short and strong man thought for a moment and said.
"To be on the safe side, you should bring more people with you, including Lao Liu," Bai Hyun said.
"There's no need for that. It's just a Qingyun Island, and there's no powerful person in charge now. Wouldn't it be enough if I bring ten or eight infant immortals and thirty or fifty golden elixir semi-immortals?" The short and strong man said disapprovingly.
"Do as I say!" Bai Hyun said in a deep voice.
The short and strong man moved his lips when he heard this, but in the end he did not dare to go against Bai Hyun's wishes.
Bai Xuan is only one step away from entering the realm of true immortality. He is the number one person under the Fukong Patriarch. Even though the short and strong man is the third disciple of the Fukong Patriarch, he cannot compare with Bai Xuan in terms of strength and authority.
"Yes, Big Brother!" The short and strong man bowed slightly, then turned and left.
After the short and strong man left, a large ship that was completely black and shaped like a battleship soon appeared, gathered wind and waves, and sailed rapidly towards Qingyun Island in mid-air against the wind and waves.
On the balcony of the fairy ship, two people stood side by side, leaning against the railing, facing the wind.
One was a short and strong man, and the other was a handsome young man dressed in white, holding a fan in his hand, looking like a dashing and elegant young man.
This young man who looks like a playboy is the sixth disciple of Patriarch Fukong, and also a terrestrial immortal in the late stage of the Immortal Infant realm.
"Third senior brother, the higher the eldest brother's cultivation level is, the more cautious he becomes. It's just Qingyun Island, how can it be worth it for you and me to take action together, and bring along twelve infant immortals and fifty golden elixir semi-immortals!" The young man said with a look of disapproval.
"This is a different time. Today's Qingyun Island is not the same Qingyun Island as before. It's always better to be careful." The short and strong man replied.
"That's true. I don't know where that villain came from, but he was able to suppress Fourth Senior Brother. However, no matter how powerful that villain is, we can always defeat him if we join forces. What's more, we have the help of Fourth Senior Brother and Bai Zhi. Can't we suppress him? In my opinion, it would be more direct and refreshing to go to Pingyu West City!" said the young master.
Obviously, he still thought that attacking Qingyun Island was not difficult or challenging!
"Since Senior Brother said so, let's do it!" said the short and strong man with a frown.
Obviously, he didn't really like the young man's self-righteous and arrogant behavior.
"Fourth Elder, the Great Elder said that he cannot leave the Floating Fairy Island easily now, and he has sent the Third Elder and the Sixth Elder to lead people to attack Qingyun Island directly!" Bai Zhi said to Duanmu Song unwillingly on the giant bird flying magic weapon.
"Big Brother can't leave the Floating Fairy Island?" Duanmu Song frowned slightly, then quickly understood and nodded, "The thief is very powerful. Unless Big Brother takes action personally, it is necessary to make thorough arrangements to keep him. The sea is vast, and we don't know where he will leave from, so it is difficult to make thorough arrangements in advance. So Big Brother ordered people to attack Qingyun Island directly and raid his lair, which is a brilliant plan to cut off the source of the trouble."
"That villain is indeed powerful, but I will have to hold this grudge in my heart for a few more days!" Bai Zhi thought of Qin Ziling's terrifying fighting power, nodded, and then said helplessly.
Pingyu West City, Zhenxi General’s Mansion.
Gou Huan had already moved to his study at this time.
Chi Caizhu was no longer by his side. Only the old man with the goatee followed him like a shadow.
"Lu Yu, what do you think of that kid?" Gou Huan asked.
"He is a capable person. It would be a pity to kill him. General, you might as well recruit him under your command. In this way, not only will the general gain a powerful general, but the boy from the Lian family will also not be able to achieve anything without his help. Maybe he will be like his father and have an accident after some time." The old man with a goatee, Lu Yu, replied with a slight bow.
"Well, this general has the same idea. This boy has already offended the people of the Floating Fairy Island. If he is smart, he should come to me for help. Only I can protect his life. But he has to cut off his relationship with that little bastard, otherwise I will even protect that little bastard." Gou Huan said.
"That person doesn't look like a stupid person. He should know how to make a choice." Lu Yu said.
"Go down. The day for paying tribute will be in two days. You should also prepare yourself. You have to let them see what we have and shock them so that they won't have any evil intentions." Gou Huan waved his hand.
"Yes, I'll take my leave!" Lu Yu bowed slightly and then left the study.
After Lu Yu left the study, Gou Huan waved his hand, and ripples appeared in the surrounding space. Then, curtains like water waves hung down, covering the surroundings, making it difficult for any force from the outside to penetrate.
After Gou Huan had arranged all this, he sat down and turned his hand over, and a red fragment as big as two copper coins appeared.
If Qin Ziling was present at this time, he would definitely recognize this fragment.
Because this fragment is the same color and texture as the one he has, but it is much smaller. The fragment Qin Ziling has is as big as a palm, while this one is only as big as two copper coins, and the incomplete characters on it are also very small.
Gou Huan's gaze fell on the extremely complex, ancient, yet incomplete characters on the fragment in his hand, his eyes filled with obsession and passion.
