Time went back slightly. When Bai Yunfei was fighting two powerful enemies, north of Yan City, where the Yuanshi veins were located, underground.
In that strange cave that was unknown how deep it was, after Qin Tian and the other three people left, the faces of the remaining people showed a look of solemnity that they couldn't get rid of. One of them, the oldest-looking white-haired old man, pondered. After a moment, he said in a low voice: "Qin Xia, go and inform all the tribesmen with the strength of the Soul Lord above to gather above this place, suspend all Yuan Stone mining within ten miles, guard all the entrances of the passages, and prevent any outsiders from approaching! "
"Yes!" The tall, thin middle-aged man who was ordered by him responded respectfully, and then hurried out.
This white-haired old man is the oldest person in the Qin family except for the ancestor of the Qin family. He is Qin Tian’s cousin, named Qin He. He is also one of the strongest people in the Qin family. He is already close. At the peak of the soul queen stage, although she has not touched the edge of the emperor level at all, her strength is slightly stronger than Qin Tiandu.
However, just a moment after the middle-aged man named Qin Xia left, everyone in the cave suddenly raised their eyebrows at the same time, showing surprise, and turned their heads to look at the entrance.
The two breaths approached quickly and appeared at the entrance of the cave in a few breaths, but it was Qin Xia who supported the panicked middle-aged scribe and rushed in!
Seeing this scene, everyone's expressions changed, and someone immediately asked: "Qin Shu?! Why are you back again? Something happened?!"
The middle-aged scribe named Qin Shu's face was ashen at the moment. There were obviously no injuries on his body, but he seemed to have completely lost strength. He needed Qin Xia's support to stand still. He was breathing heavily, looking like he was in shock. , when he heard someone asking, he suddenly jumped up, with a look of endless horror on his face, and screamed tremblingly: "There is an ambush outside!! We were attacked by someone, uncle and Qin Jian... were killed!"
"What?!"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone present suddenly changed dramatically. Almost all of them stood up suddenly, with extremely horrified looks in their eyes. Qin He's pupils shrank suddenly, and he raised his right hand to capture Qin Shu directly in front of him, his eyes trembling. Dihe asked: "What did you say?! Say it again!"
His voice brought with it the power of his soul. Of course, he was not trying to attack Qin Shu, but to suppress his panic. Qin Shu trembled all over and became sober, but his tone was still trembling and he said quickly: " We, when we were traveling about fifty miles to Yancheng, we were suddenly attacked when we passed a mountain peak. There was a powerful enemy hiding there. There was no sign before. Even the uncle was shocked when the man below took action. We felt that there was not just one person attacking us, but a more powerful enemy who seemed to be hiding in the void. The moment we were distracted by the first person who attacked us, another person suddenly attacked us, directly from the uncle. Appearing in the void behind me, uncle... He was hit without any foresight, and then killed! Qin Jian next to me was also hit by the first person to take action, and he died instantly! I... I was not attacked, He didn’t dare to fight, so he ran away immediately!”
“…”
There was deathly silence in the entire cave. After listening to Qin Shu's story, everyone was stunned. There was no other emotion in their eyes except the look of horror...
"Impossible! Directly assassinate the old patriarch with one move?! This is impossible! I don't believe it! How could there be such a strong man! Impossible!"
Finally, an old man with gray hair came to his senses and let out a deep roar. He said "impossible" several times, obviously unable to accept the news at all.
—A strong man in the Soul Queen stage was 'assassinated' without any resistance? ! This kind of thing...who dares to believe it? !
However, the person who brought the news was Qin Shu. Everyone knew that it was impossible for him to tell lies. This contradictory feeling made everyone feel an unstoppable sense of fear and dare not tell lies. I believe it, but I have to believe it!
"Who on earth... Who on earth wants to deal with my Qin family!"
Some people couldn't help but roar like this, which was also the question in everyone's mind.
The calmest among the people was naturally the strongest Qin He. He could be seen faintly exuding an unspeakable aura of terror, his face was terrifyingly gloomy, his eyes were flashing, and he seemed to be thinking about something quickly. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, his pupils shrank, and he murmured in disbelief: "Such a powerful assassination technique... seems to be hidden in the void? Not only did he assassinate Qin Hu silently, but even Qin Tian could Assassination... I can only think of one person who can do this kind of thing, and he is the only one - Wuying Killing God, Jing Wuying!"
"What?! Jing Wuying?!" Hearing Qin He's words, the people next to him suddenly burst into laughter, and some people immediately said in surprise, "Ancestor of the Jing family?! How is that possible! Didn't he fall long ago?! When he dealt with the Jing family, When the Jing family was wiped out, we had verified everything, and he didn’t even show up when the Jing family was destroyed, how could he not be dead!!"
Saying such words, the man's voice couldn't stop trembling and was full of fear. Obviously, just the name 'Jing Wuying' made his heart tremble.
"He is the only one... With such strength, he will come to deal with people from my Qin family... He is the only one!" Qin He's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said word by word, "Jing Wuying, it must be him! "
"Is it really Jing Wuying?! Then, then... what should we do? According to legend, Jing Wuying was already a peak powerhouse in the Soul Queen period decades ago. It is rumored that he failed and fell when he attacked the Emperor Realm. Then Now that he is not dead, could it be that... he is already an emperor-level powerhouse?!"
Someone else trembled and said such words, and these words made the fear in everyone's heart even stronger.
"No! If he is already an emperor-level powerhouse, why would he need to go through so much trouble to assassinate him separately? Just attack and kill everyone in the Qin family!" Qin He immediately shook his head in denial, "He is probably trying to attack the emperor's realm. He failed, but was seriously injured, so he disappeared for decades! At most, he is only at the peak of his soul queen stage!"
An old man in purple robe still looked solemn and said: "But... Even so, how should we deal with it? Even if he is still at the peak of the Soul Queen stage, I am afraid that none of us can be his opponent! And what he is good at is the art of assassination. If he is killed His sneak attack has almost no chance of winning! There is such a murderous god targeting our Qin family, what should we do?!"
"..." Everyone looked over, but Qin He was silent for a moment. All these changes happened so suddenly that even he couldn't think of a good countermeasure.
Just before today, everyone in his Qin family was still looking forward to his ancestor's advancement and the rise of the Qin family, but now, he feels that the danger of destruction is approaching the Qin family!
"Buzz..."
And just when everyone was feeling heavy-hearted and restless, suddenly, a terrifying wave that shocked their minds enveloped the entire cave!
"Ancestor!!"
Qin He's pupils shrank, and he suddenly turned around and looked at the skinny old man who had been sitting cross-legged like a stone statue in the center of the cave. Everyone else also looked at him with horrified expressions.
A faint crimson light radiated from the ancestor of the Qin family, and his closed eyes slowly opened...
Two solid red rays of light shot out from the eyes of the ancestor of the Qin family. Everyone who came into contact with his gaze was shocked, and had the illusion that their souls were pierced. The temperature in the entire cave, It also increased several times at this moment, and everyone felt as if they were in an invisible sea of fire, and the blood in their bodies was almost boiling.
Qin He looked at the ancestor who woke up and asked in awe: "Ancestor, you... are you..."
The ancestor of the Qin family turned his eyes and looked at Qin He. He didn't see him opening his mouth, but an extremely majestic voice rang in everyone's mind: "I heard what you said... A powerful enemy is attacking, and it concerns Qin." The survival of our family is at stake, we can't wait any longer... I want to gather my soul for the last time in advance!"
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, Qin He's expression suddenly changed and he was shocked and said: "Closing the level early? Ancestor... Is this move too risky? The souls accumulated these days are still not enough. I'm afraid I will make a mistake if I clear the level early..."
"Since Jing Wuying has already taken action, he probably already knows the situation of my passing the level here. It is impossible for him to let me pass the level smoothly. The nights are long and the dreams are many. The longer it is delayed, the more opportunities it will give him! So... I must pass the test immediately! As long as the advancement is successful, everything... will be solved!" The voice of the ancestor of the Qin family continued to sound, and it became more solemn, but more importantly, it was beyond doubt.
"This..." Qin He frowned and said with some hesitation, "Ancestor, I am not well prepared at the moment and do not have enough soul support. If I force the last soul gathering, I am afraid..."
"Immediately give the order to arrest all those who mine Yuan Stone within a hundred miles! I will use their souls to... break through!"
But the next words of the ancestor of the Qin family made Qin He freeze up and reveal a look of extreme horror!
"Action against all those who mine Yuan Stone?! This..." Qin He was so shocked that his brain went blank for a moment. Although this could indeed collect enough souls, if he really did this, if it spread, Qin He would What explanation should the family give? !
"Go quickly!!"
However, the two undoubted words spoken by the ancestor of the Qin family made Qin He tremble all over. The hesitation in his eyes turned into an almost crazy determination, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Yes! Ancestor!!"
