Xue Bin's incident was a minor incident and did not affect Qin Shi's original plan.
Even if he didn't show up, Qin Shi had already planned for the new king of the empire to ascend the throne. Xue Bin's appearance gradually made him feel more at ease. At least now it seems that Lin Yu's situation is not too bad, otherwise Xue Bin would also He will not come to the northern region to canvass votes for Fang Heng.
In the next three days, Qin Shi, Ling Xiao, Cen Chi, Qiu Diao, and Qin Yongfeng spent most of the time in the conference hall, discussing the election of the new king of the empire.
On the third day, the plan took shape, and there were only twenty days left before the election.
In the early morning of the fourth day, the morning dew began to set.
Qin Shi got up very early, and the moment his black eyes opened, invisible spiritual power spread out along the sea of consciousness for nine times ninety thousand meters, taking in the entire Qin Sect, revealing a faint chuckle.
"In the past three years, Qin Zongzhao has developed much faster than expected." Shuyu saw Qin Shi's thoughts and smiled with the same emotion.
Nodding, ** Qin Shi said: "Yes, the reason why Qin Zong was established in the first place was mainly because he wanted to protect the Qin family. First, it was his hard work**. It's beyond my expectation that we can be here today."
"Actually, it's not unexpected. Your efforts in the past three years are obvious to all, and I believe that Qin Zong still has a long way to go in the future. It's not the time for you to be complacent yet." Shuyu hit Qin Shi with words.
How could he, being so smart, not understand the hidden meaning of Yu in the book? He shook his head bitterly and said: "Sister Yu, don't worry, I know I'm still far behind. There are too many people I have to protect and enemies I have to face." Too strong. If I want to face the Ming Group, I can do it on paper with my own strength. Qin Zong is the foundation for my future development."
Looking at the young man's determined black eyes, Shuyu nodded with satisfaction. Qin Shi could realize this, which made her really happy. After all, pride and complacency were the reasons why countless strong people on this continent embarked on a road of no return. Start.
"I just don't know, if one day, Qin Zong can stand firm in the wilderness, enough to overlook the entire continent, what will it look like when we look back." Qin Shi's eyes showed a bit of longing, revealing a very... A natural smile, but there is an indescribable domineering nature hidden underneath.
Although he had never mentioned it to anyone, he knew deeply that for Qin Zong, this northern hegemon was by no means the end, but just the beginning.
He has high expectations for Qin Zong, very high.
He hoped that one day, everyone on the Huangling Continent would know that there was a sect named Qin Sect.
Taking a deep breath, Qin Shi quickly gathered his mental power and said to Shuyu: "Let's go, I can't be idle for these twenty days."
"What are you going to do?"
"I have inquired before. The Qiongjiang Volcano is on the border of the western region. I plan to go to the western region to take a look first." Qin Shi stood up and said.
"Are you going to Qiongjiang Volcano?" Shuyu was stunned.
Smiling and nodding, Qin Shi said: "Well, three years ago, I promised Sister Yu that I would completely help you heal your injuries. Before, I was suspended due to lack of strength. Now I have broken through to the heavenly realm and become the divine pregnant tree fruit. This matter has been delayed for too long and cannot be delayed any longer."
"Actually, you can wait until you help Xiao Yuzi ascend to the throne first, and then help me find the fruit of the Divine Pregnancy Tree. I'm not in a hurry." Shuyu whispered.
"Nonsense!" Qin Shi shouted: "You have lied to me for three years, do you still want to lie to me?"
In the book, Yu's delicate body trembled, and she gritted her silver teeth and said, "How could I lie to you?"
"Okay, let me ask you, why is your soul weaker now than three years ago?" Qin Shi scolded sternly, with obvious anger in his voice.
Ever since he broke through the Soul Curse Talisman and mastered the power of the soul, Qin Shi conducted an in-depth exploration of Shuyu, only to discover that Shuyu's soul was now on the verge of collapse and was extremely weak.
Being pointed out by the blunt words, Yu Dai frowned in the book and remained silent for a while without speaking.
Seeing the jade in the book and saying nothing, Qin Shi said: "If my guess is correct, your injuries have seemed to have recovered over the years, but in fact you have just relied on soul-healing herbs to forcefully extend your life. This is simply treating the symptoms but not the root cause. All hidden diseases have been eliminated." It’s squeezed down, right?”
Her delicate body trembled slightly, Shuyu Miao's hand clenched into a pink fist, and she nodded her head lightly after a long while.
Qin Shi suddenly became angry: "Why didn't you tell me?"
"I..." Shuyu whispered like a child who has done something wrong: "I know you too well. If I tell you the truth, you will definitely try your best to find the fruit of the Divine Pregnancy Tree for me, but the Divine Pregnancy Tree Guo's place of survival must be full of dangers, and I don't want to see you taking risks on my behalf."
"Then you lied to me. Have you ever thought that if something happened to you, I would be worse than dead!" Qin Shi clenched his fist hard, and his spiritual power was visible to the naked eye.
In the book, Jade bit her lip with her teeth and her beautiful eyes turned red.
After a moment of silence, Qin Shi sighed helplessly and held Shuyu in his arms: "Sister Yu, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to yell at you, but don't lie to me again, okay? I can't lose you."
"Okay, I won't lie to you anymore." Nestling in Qin Shi's arms, Shuyu could no longer bear to reject this young man: "Shi Shi... thank you."
"If you want to be pretentious, let's wait until we find the fruit of the Divine Pregnancy Tree. It's not that time yet." Looking at Yu's tearful eyes in the book, Qin Shi quickly interrupted.
He couldn't stand this.
Amused by Qin Shi's feigned disgust, Yu broke into tears and laughed in the book.
The two of them didn't waste any time. Qin Shi, who was in the heaven realm, had already reached an unpredictable speed. He left the sect leader's mansion and flew towards the west in one leap.
It is tens of thousands of miles away from the northern region to the western region.
It took Qin Shi three days and three nights at full speed to reach the border of the western region. As soon as he entered the western region, the surrounding spiritual power was obviously richer, far from the barren land in the northern region.
Of course, it is still a few points behind compared to the Eastern region.
Located in the western region, Qin Shi overlooked the earth. The next thing he had to do was to go to Qiongjiang Volcano to find the old friend Du Ziteng had mentioned: Senior Wutong.
"Shitou, your spiritual power has been severely depleted in the past three days and nights. Find a place to rest first, just in time to find out the specific location of Qiongjiang Volcano." Yu Piao came out of the book.
Qin Shi nodded in approval. He was indeed a little tired: "This long period of flying into the sky and escaping from the earth is really not something humans do. If I had known better, I should have asked Xiaomi Cai to help me catch a strong bird and beast."
After some complaints, he settled in a small city in the western region. This city was called Haotian City. It was similar to the ancient city three years ago, but the power of the forces in it was far from comparable to the ancient city three years ago.
"Haha, there are actually three Xuanling Realm masters in a small city. This Western Region is indeed the second largest region in the empire." Qin Shi spread his mental power and looked at it with a hint of surprise.
Shuyu smiled: "However, these should not be shocking to you now. After all, my stone is a character who can cause trouble even in Xuan Palace."
Shaking his head with a wry smile, Qin Shi said: "Sister Yu laughed at me again. If you hadn't been taken to Xuandian, I wouldn't have dared to provoke Hua Ling even if I had a hundred courages. That crazy woman, if it wasn't for Xuexin's time, At that time, I guess I am drinking tea with Lord Yama now."
"Hehe, so my position in our stone's hearts is quite important?" Shuyu smiled sweetly.
Mentioning this matter, Qin Shi became solemn: "Of course, if it weren't for Sister Yu's companionship as a teacher and friend in the past three years, there would be no Qin Shi and Qin Zong today. Sister Yu, I said, you are a very important person in my life." people."
"Then let me ask you, who is more important to you, me or Xuexin?"
"I… "
"Rakshasa and I fall into the water, who do you save first?"
"I..." Qin Shi clicked his tongue and was convinced for a while: "Is this a problem? A mysterious spirit realm and a three-day realm, can you both fall into the water?"
"No matter, if you don't have any cultivation."
"Without cultivation, Rakshasa's water properties are very good. She will save you without me entering the water."
"No, do you have to go into the water?"
"Then I guess you are going to die." Qin Shi shrugged.
Yu Dai frowned in the book and said, "Why?"
"Think about it, I don't know how to swim. If the three of us fell into the water without cultivation, who do you think Rakshasa would save first? She would definitely save me first!" Qin Shi said proudly. A smile.
Suddenly enlightened, Shuyu pouted and said, "Smelly stone, did you do this on purpose?"
"Ahem!" Qin Shi coughed twice and said more seriously: "No kidding, Sister Yu, do you know? The three of you have almost the same position in my heart, and I don't want to lie to any of you."
"Humph, I'm angry!" Shuyu ignored Qin Shi.
Faced with Shuyu's nonsense, Qin Shi was also helpless. He knew that Shuyu was joking with him, so he did not delay on this topic any longer, but got up and walked towards the nearest inn.
Entering the inn, he walked directly to the counter: "Boss, open a guest room."
"Okay." As soon as the boss agreed readily, Qin Shi felt a stab of pain in his waist, and Shuyu shouted angrily: "Open two rooms, open two rooms, you treacherous man, married a wife and forgot Sister, you are a bad person, I will never sleep with you again!"
Qin Shi's mouth twitched and he smiled bitterly: "You made it sound like we had slept together."
Shaking his head helplessly, Qin Shi stopped talking to Shuyu. After opening the guest room, he said to the innkeeper: "By the way, boss, can I ask you where the Qiongjiang Volcano is?"
"Jade volcano?"
As soon as the word "four" came out, the atmosphere in the entire inn suddenly calmed down. Many of the drinkers who had been noisy just now put down their wine glasses and stared at Qin Shi warily.
The owner of the inn also shrank his neck and said tremblingly: "Little brother, are you talking about the three most forbidden places in the empire: Qiongjiang Volcano?"
"Yes, that's it."
"Objective, I advise you not to go." After receiving the affirmation, the innkeeper's face became more alert, and he deliberately lowered his voice and said: "The dangers in the Qiongjiang volcano, even if you go to the Xuanling realm, you will not be able to survive for half a day. .”
Qin Shi smiled: "Don't worry, boss, I already know this, you just need to tell me where the volcano is."
"Well, since you insist on going, I will tell you that the Qiongjiang Volcano is on the western border of the empire, but I think my little brother is young, so don't think about it." The owner of the inn said bitterly.
"The farthest west?" Qin Shi murmured, silently remembering it in his heart, and then thanked the boss: "Thank you very much, boss."
After saying that, he stood up and walked up to the second floor of the inn. As soon as he entered the guest room, his expression suddenly changed, revealing a strange look.
