After the discussion was concluded, Lin Qing and Qu Ming no longer hesitated. Both of them tapped their feet on the ground before flying in the direction of the Qin Residence.

Unlike Qu Ming who had attacked from the front door, Lin Qing's figure was faintly discernible as she hid in the shadows, entering through the back door.

Today, the Qin Residence was completely silent. It was as though there was no one there. Rain drops rained down one after another.

Quiet didn't mean that there were no people around. Sometimes, it meant that there was killing intent. It was just like when hunters were hunting for prey, they would hide somewhere and not make a sound.

And at this moment, the Qin Clan gave Lin Qing such an impression.

Sensing the strangeness of the surroundings, Lin Qing frowned, but she did not dare to continue onward. If she could not find out what was going on, it was extremely likely that her life would be in danger.

With a movement of her body, Lin Qing landed behind a tree, quietly waiting for something.

Not too long after, from the direction of the main entrance of Qin Manor came a series of miserable screams and Qu Ming's savage laughter.

After Qu Ming was discovered, Lin Qing could clearly feel that the killing intent in the entire Qin Residence had grown stronger and stronger.

Sure enough, after a while, teams of soldiers in command came in from different directions. They were all wearing iron armor and had a cold expression on their faces. There were even one or two soldiers with crossbows in their hands.

The crossbow had a unique style, and the bowstring was very long. It gave off a faint chilling feeling.

If he guessed correctly, this type of crossbow should be a Godly Arm Crossbow. This type of crossbow had a range of more than 500 meters and could shoot through fine steel within 300 meters. It was extremely powerful.

Even a talented warrior would not be able to stand being shot by a crossbow in such a short distance.

However, this type of crossbow also had its own drawbacks. That was, its loading speed was extremely slow. For a martial arts master like a talented warrior, this kind of drawback was its fatal flaw.

No matter what weakness the God Arm Crossbow had, its attack power was absolutely formidable.

Lin Qing was hiding in the shadows of the trees as she waited for the sounds of intense fighting to come from the direction of the main entrance. The smile in her eyes grew increasingly wider.

At Qu Ming's location, the greater the commotion, the more attention the Qin Residence would be attracted. The defenses of other places would also be weakened greatly.

After the third group of soldiers passed Lin Qing, Lin Qing didn't delay any further. After all, Lin Qing and Qu Ming were only temporary allies, but there was no saying that they would advance or retreat together.

If Qu Ming saw that the Qin Clan was too powerful, he would have to retreat halfway, leaving only Lin Qing in the Qin Clan. After all, the current Qin Clan was extremely strong in terms of ambushes, and even if Lin Qing was a talented warrior, it wouldn't be good in any way.

Lin Qing's silhouette flickered as she appeared from the shadows. Her steps were light and graceful as she snuck towards the courtyard in the middle of the Qin Residence.

When they arrived at the courtyard, Lin Qing discovered that the security there was extremely tight. Just the people guarding the surroundings alone numbered close to ten, and they were all wielding sharp swords.

He knew that the armed strength of the Qin Residence today had far surpassed that of the past. It was obvious that the government was not an idiot and had predicted that their target would be Qin Hai.

However, although these guards were good fighters, compared to Lin Qing, they were much weaker.

Lin Qing's footsteps were light and swift. Without the ten or so guards noticing, she successfully entered the courtyard.

With a leap, Lin Qing landed on one of the rafters as she quietly waited.

Lin Qing believed that as Qu Ming continued causing a ruckus at the main entrance, the leaders of the Qin Clan wouldn't be able to sit still. In that case, this was her chance.

Sure enough, as the fighting sounds outside the main gate became more and more intense, five armored soldiers hastily came and went in a short while. It was obvious that they were giving out some order.

As Lin Qing expected, a group of people walked out from the Qin Residence a short while later. The person in the lead was a slightly plump person. His countenance was heavy, giving off a sense of majesty.

Behind Long Xiaotian was a grim-faced scholar. Lin Qing recognized him. He was the one who commanded the soldiers in the Northwest Forest, the person who had killed nearly half of the men from the Tiger Gang, Constable Yun Hai.

On the other side of Long Xiaotian was a middle-aged man with a slightly cold expression. He was tall, slender, and had sharp eyes. If his guess was correct, he was Qin Hai, Constable Qin, who was also Lin Qing's target this time.

Behind Qin Hai Sheng and Constable Yun Hai stood ten elites wearing tight clothing and sharp swords at their waists.

As she read up to this point, Lin Qing's heart couldn't help but sink. She had never expected that Long Xiaotian would also appear here. She couldn't help but think to herself, "This is bad!"

After all, Long Xiaotian being the disciple of the current Imperial Advisor was not a secret, and Lin Qing was aware of it.

It was said that Long Xiaotian had the strength of a talented warrior. With Long Xiaotian by his side, it would be difficult for him to eliminate Qin Hai.

After all, she was the disciple of the current Imperial Advisor. With Lin Qing's current strength, even if she wanted to kill Long Xiaotian, she wouldn't dare to do so.

After all, there were too many legends regarding the current Imperial Advisors. Their strength was also known to be mysterious, but without a doubt, the strength of the current Imperial Advisors was far beyond what Lin Qing could handle.

If he really killed Long Xiaotian and faced the wrath of the current Imperial Advisors, Lin Qing would definitely not have a good ending.

It was precisely because of these considerations that Lin Qing's heart felt heavy at this moment. However, Lin Qing wasn't willing to give up on killing Qin Hai today.

With this thought in mind, Lin Qing could only hold her breath and hide behind the roof beams, quietly waiting for an opportunity.

However, without waiting for the opportunity to appear, Long Xiao Tian seemed to have sensed something and looked in the direction that Lin Qing was hiding in.

Although Lin Qing was hiding somewhere extremely well, she also believed that under the shelter of the beams, Long Xiao Tian would not necessarily discover anything.

However, Lin Qing sensed that Long Xiaotian seemed to be able to tell something was wrong.

Without waiting for Lin Qing's last bit of hope, she let out a soft shout and broke the fantasy in her heart.

"Where are the thieves? Hiding to one side is not the doing of a hero." Long Xiaotian's leisurely gaze looked towards the ceiling, carrying a trace of coldness and killing intent.

Lin Qing's heart chilled. He knew that his whereabouts had already been discovered by Long Xiaotian. Indeed, as the disciple of the current Imperial Advisor, Long Xiaotian's strength was definitely extraordinary. Otherwise, he wouldn't have such insight.
