C50 On the Eve of the Crisis
Time passed by very quickly.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
During these five days, Qin Shi didn't leave the secret realm. Instead, he continuously cultivated and stabilized his realm through the dense spirit energy within. His strength had now completely stabilized at the eighth level of the Body Tempering stage.
At night, in a flowery plain.
A huge, seemingly cumbersome bear was lying on the plains. Next to the giant bear was a ten-meter-long dragon loach, coiled up in a ball. As for Qin Shi, he laid on the back of the giant bear and looked up at the stars in the sky.
"It's been five days …"
"The day after tomorrow is the day the Cloud Tripod Sect comes to take over Barren Town!"
"What should I do? Can I take the Qin family out of danger? "
Although Qin Shi looked calm and at ease, his heart was like a raging sea that was constantly churning. For the past few days, he had been thinking about what he should do to fight against the Cloud Tripod Sect.
However, the enormous power of the Cloud Tripod Sect made him feel powerless.
"Phew …"
No matter how much he thought about it, he could not come up with an answer. After an unknown amount of time, Qin Shi fell into a deep sleep.
When Qin Shi was asleep, the giant bear and the dragon loach also looked at each other. In the eyes of the two beasts, there was a flash of inexplicable resolution and respect. The last two beasts were also lying quietly on the plains, waiting for the sun to rise.
The night passed, and the east was white.
A ray of piercing sunlight passed through the multicolored light in the sky and landed in Qin Shi's eyes.
Qin Shi opened his eyes slightly as he felt the pain. He stretched his body with all his might. After that, his eyes were cold as he looked outside the secret realm. Today, he had to leave this place. Tomorrow would be the day the Cloud Tripod Sect would take over Barren Town.
"What should come will eventually come!"
Shaking his head, Qin Shi let the giant bear carry him to the exit of the secret realm.
When he arrived at the exit of the secret realm, he waved goodbye to the giant bear and the dragon loach, then left the secret realm through the crack in the barrier without any further delay.
The moment he entered the deserted town, he saw all kinds of banners hanging over it. The contents were similar, almost all welcoming the Cloud Tripod Sect, the Cloud Tripod Sect was great and so on.
Looking at those banners, Qin Shi snorted disdainfully. Then, without any hesitation, he sped up his pace and walked towards the Qin family.
He quickly returned to the Qin family, but as soon as he entered, he felt a sense of lifelessness. However, this was not surprising. The whole town knew of the arrival of the people from the Cloud Tripod Sect, how could the Qin family not know?
Realizing this, he quickly leaped into the hall.
Just as he leaped into the hall, he saw Old Man Qin sitting at the very top. The rest of the Qin family members were lined up in order, each of them with a stern expression. The atmosphere was heavy.
When they saw Qin Shi's return, the Qin family immediately became spirited. Especially Old Man Qin, he stood up immediately. His eyes were a little unfocused as he stuttered: "Shi'er, you, you're back?"
"Hmm, what's wrong? All of them were boiled? "
After entering the hall, Qin Shi pondered for a while. He smiled brightly, wanting to adjust the atmosphere. His gaze swept across everyone present, but he suddenly froze in the end.
He discovered that there was one less person present.
Realizing this, he scanned his surroundings again. From Old Man Qin, his eldest uncle Qin Tianyu, his father Qin Tianqing, and his youngest uncle Qin Tianxing, to the very end, he still could not find the figure he was looking for.
"Aunt?" This grandpa, dad, where's my little aunt? " Qin Shi questioned.
After being questioned, Old Man Qin, Qin Tianqing, and the others turned their faces away at the same time. Their faces were heavy with disappointment as they said after a long while: "Shitou, don't be rash. Your aunt is fine, it's just that …"
"But what?"
From their expressions, Qin Shi could already tell that something had happened to his aunt, Qin Yuelin. This made him clench his fists fiercely. Only after a while did he finally calm down and say, "Elder, father, you guys go ahead. I won't be rash!"
"Ai …" A few days ago, your aunt carried us on her back and went out alone. Since she couldn't get the results, she coincidentally bumped into a member of the Yang family and was captured by them! " Old Man Qin said somewhat self-reproachfully.
Qin Shi trembled in fright, "What? My aunt was captured by the Yang family? "
"Shi'er, don't get so worked up yet. Things aren't as bad as you think!" Seeing that Qin Shi was slightly excited, Qin Tianqing stopped him.
"En, Shi'er. Yue Ling is fine now!" "At that time, I knew, I would bring your uncle and the others and quickly rush to the Yang family, hoping to save your aunt!" Old Man Qin paused, then said: "But when we arrived at the Yang family, we coincidentally saw a black-clothed man take action, saving your aunt …"
"Black clothed man?"
Qin Shi squinted his eyes and asked, "Then where is my aunt now?"
"This …" At this point, Old Man Qin and the others looked a little embarrassed.
Qin Shi could guess that Qin Yuling's whereabouts were unknown. However, after knowing the cause and effect, he felt relieved. As long as he was fine, it was better than nothing. Just the mention of the man in black reminded him of the man who had saved him at the Nie clan.
"Could it be him?"
Thinking about this, Qin Shi's eyes turned. He stopped thinking about this and only swore in his heart, "Yang family, if anything happens to my aunt, I will make your family accompany me in death!"
Seeing how Qin Shi remained silent, the members of the Qin Clan remained silent.
After a moment of silence, Old Man Qin could no longer hold it in. He said with a gloomy face: "Shi'er, the Cloud Tripod Sect and the rest …"
"Elder, there's no need to say anymore. I already knew that!"
After interrupting Old Man Qin, Qin Shi came back to his senses and nodded. However, he did not cower. Instead, he said in a clear voice, "The trip to Barren Town by the Cloud Tripod Sect this time is a disaster for us! We only have two options right now! "
"We can either fight or run!"
This sentence echoed in the Qin family's main hall.
All the members of the Qin family trembled at the same time. Qin Shi spoke calmly, but what if he fought? How could he compete? With the Cloud Tripod Sect? Was this possible? A big question mark rose in Qin Shi's heart at the same time as he shook his head.
"I also know that the Qin family can't match up to the Cloud Tripod Sect!" Qin Shi shook his head without denying anything. Then, a ruthless look flashed in his eyes as he said: "But, you want my Qin family to just give away our thousands of years of wealth just like that? "No way!"
"Shi'er, what do you mean?"
"Father, mother, take the younger generation of the Qin Clan and leave the Qin Clan tonight! First, find a safe place. No matter what, our Qin family cannot afford to be extinct! " Qin Shi pondered for a moment, then said a few words to Qin Tianqing before turning his head towards Qin Yongfeng and said: "Elder, I want to stay here and fight with the Yang Family!"
"Since I have already offended the Cloud Tripod Sect, I am not afraid of offending you anymore!"
These words struck the minds of the members of the Qin Clan, causing them to tremble in fear at the same time.
"Alright!" Hesitating for a moment, Old Man Qin patted his chair and stood up with an overbearing demeanor, saying: "If my thousand years of history goes like this, I won't have the face to face with my ancestors! But, Shi'er, you cannot stay. You are the hope of the Qin family! "
Qin Shi waved his hand, and with a fierce look in his eyes, he coldly said, "Hehe, I have to stay. There are some grudges that have yet to be settled with the people from the Yang and Nie families! Furthermore, we might not lose. If you hold onto the thought of losing, then what's the point of fighting? "
Not necessarily lost?
As these words rang out, many members of the Qin Clan were astonished.
Facing the Yang Family, Nie Family, and Cloud Tripod Sect at the same time, would he have any chance of winning?
"I'll stay behind too!"
"Mm, I want to stay too!"
At this time, a few of the younger generation members of the Qin family, under the lead of Qin Liuyu, suddenly stood up.
"Scram! You guys stay here, it's not enough to fill the gaps in people's teeth!" Without waiting for Old Man Qin to speak, Qin Shi scolded him, "Hurry back and pack up. We'll leave tonight. Remember, your mission is to strengthen our Qin family in the future if we are defeated! "
His words contained an incomparable majesty.
Afterwards, a few juniors tried to be brave, but Qin Shi gave them a good lesson.
After everyone had dispersed, Qin Shi walked out of the hall alone. Just as he walked out of the hall, he saw Qi Yu leaning against an old tree in the courtyard. Both of his arms were crossed over as he looked at Qin Shi with an alluring gaze. Ready to die? "
"Crow's beak!"
"The Qin family might not lose!" Qin Shi glanced at it and said firmly. Afterwards, he walked forward and leaned against Lin Yu as he softly sighed, "You can leave. I don't want to implicate you!"
Hearing this, Lin Mu Yu blinked his eyes and shrugged his shoulders meaninglessly as he said, "Haha, you still think that we might not lose? He didn't have any confidence! I'm not leaving! "
"You want to stay?"
"Of course! I still want to watch the show! " Lin Mu Yu gave a very natural smile and said: "Moreover, even if your Qin Family loses, with my strength, if you want to escape! They can't stop me! "
Qin Shi curled his lips and threw a grateful look at Lin Yu.
"The three people from the Cloud Cauldron Sect are in the Spirit Sealing Realm!"
"Hiss ~ ~ ~"
Qin Shi sucked in a breath of cold air as his heart clattered. Including the Yang Family's ancestor and the Nie Family's old ghost, they have a total of five Spirit Sealing realm experts. As for us … "
When he thought of this, Qin Shi glanced at Lin Yu and shook his head, "Only two!"
With such a difference, could he really win?
In Qin Shi's heart, he was slightly uncertain.
Pow!
At this moment, Qi Yu suddenly patted Qin Shi on the shoulder and laughed, "Don't think too much about it. Quickly go and take a look at that little sister of yours. Ever since the incident with her mother, it's been several days since they've left home! "
"Qiao'er?"
After a moment of blankness, Qin Shi remembered that he hadn't seen Xu Qiao'er in the main hall. He nodded worriedly and turned around, leaping toward her room.
When he arrived at Xu Qiao'er's room, Qin Shi knocked on the door.
But after a while, there was still no response from the room. This made Qin Shi uncontrollably tense up. He raised his shoulder and knocked the door open.
After knocking open the door, Qin Shi's heart was filled with pain. He saw Xu Qiao'er alone, curled up on the bed. Her hair was a mess, and her entire body was trembling. Her gaze was dull and listless.
"Qiao'er …"
Seeing his sister in such a sorry state, Qin Shi gritted his teeth and cried out in heartache.
Hearing Qin Shi's voice, Xu Qiao'er suddenly raised her head. Her face was filled with despair, her eyes were bloodshot, and deep tears could be clearly seen from the corners of her eyes.
"Qiao'er... How are you? "
Stepping forward, Qin Shi wanted to comfort Xu Qiao'er.
Unexpectedly, just at this moment, Xu Qiao'er suddenly stood up, grabbed the spirit artifact spear that Qin Shi had given her, and thrust it towards Qin Shi's chest. "Qin Shi! "I'll kill you …"
