Outside the room, One Page Book and Taihuang both bowed to Shenlang. Shenlang asked indifferently, "Has the Qin family made any moves?"
Taihuang shook his head. "Not yet. The Devil religion and the Qin family have been probing each other. However, although they are just probing each other, the battle between the two sides is very intense."
Shenlang smiled faintly. "It's not that easy to end a battle between two large factions. Both sides are factions with the inheritances of supreme experts. It's impossible for them to start a life and death battle like those small factions."
When One Page Book and Taihuang heard Shenlang's words, they nodded in agreement. Shenlang's words were not wrong. Even in the Zhenwu Continent, the battles between the large factions were limited. Only the appearance of the Temple of Eternal Life and Shenlang's Hades completely broke the balance of the twenty-one large factions.
Just as Shenlang and the other two were chatting, a cultivator from the Qin family arrived at Shenlang's courtyard. When the cultivator saw Shenlang and the other two, his face lit up. He immediately cupped his fists and said, "Shen Gongzi, the Patriarch has an urgent matter to discuss with you. Please come to the meeting hall."
When Shenlang saw the urgency on the cultivator's face, he knew that something must have happened in the battle between the Qin family and the Devil religion.
Shenlang and the other two followed the cultivator from the Qin family and arrived at the meeting hall of the Qin family.
Shenlang was already known by the Qin family. When Shenlang entered the meeting hall, the elders and attendants of the Qin family all greeted him.
Shenlang smiled as he sat on his chair and looked at Qin Heng, who was sitting at the head of the table.
When Qin Heng saw that everyone was present, he slowly said, "I think everyone knows the reason for the death of my son, Qin Yu. The Devil Religion is too rampant. It's one thing for them to abuse their power in the Northern Mountain Range, but they actually dared to behave atrociously in the Qinling Mountains. The Qinling Mountains were created by our ancestor, the Qin Emperor. Our Qin family cannot tarnish our ancestor's reputation."
When Qin Heng finished speaking, all the cultivators from the Qin family were enraged. Although it was only Qin Heng's son who had died, they should be happy. After all, with Qin Yu's death, their descendants would have a chance to be valued and nurtured by the Qin family. However, Qin Yu's death had caused a conflict between the two great factions. They couldn't ignore it.
If the Qin family didn't do something, they would become a joke in the eyes of the other eight mountains and thirteen domains of the Gods Continent.
Qin Heng smiled in satisfaction when he saw everyone's morale rising. He then said coldly, "Everyone, a few days ago, at the border between the Qinling Mountains and the Northern Mountain Range, the cultivators from the Qin family were schemed against by the Devil Religion. We suffered heavy losses. There was actually a Dao Integration expert from the Devil religion. Our Qin family is preparing to send experts over. I wonder if anyone wants to be the vanguard for our Qin family?"
When Qin Heng finished speaking, the entire meeting hall fell silent. Most people wouldn't be willing to do such a strenuous and thankless task. Although they would gain some reputation if they went this time, the Dao Integration expert from the Devil religion had made a move. If they didn't do it well, they would die. No one wanted to throw their lives away for the sake of reputation.
Shenlang and the other two lowered their heads. They wouldn't interfere with the Qin family's decision. They were outsiders to begin with. Even if they had formed an alliance with the Qin family, they wouldn't interfere with the Qin family's matters.
When Qin Heng saw the attitude of the Qin family, his expression changed slightly. He then said in a deep voice, "Everyone, the Qin family needs people now. The Qin family is your Qin family. If the Qin family exists, you will prosper. If the Qin family dies, you will fall. I don't want to waste my breath. You can decide for yourselves. I will wait for your reply tomorrow."
...
In the backyard of the Qin family, Shenlang and Qin Heng sat opposite each other. Steam rose from a pot of tea on the tea table between the two of them.
Qin Heng poured a cup of tea and looked at Shenlang with a bitter smile. "Shen Gongzi, although the big forces seem envious to outsiders, we also have our own difficulties."
Shenlang nodded slightly. He was also the leader of a big force. He deeply understood Qin Heng's words. If a big force wanted to be high and mighty forever, they had to pay a lot. They had to be respected and feared by others, but they also had to be united internally.
Shenlang said indifferently, "Qin family leader, you mentioned in the meeting hall that a Dao Integration expert from the Devil religion had joined the battle. Do you know who he is?"
Qin Heng pondered for a moment and said, "Although that person only attacked once, from the descriptions of the people who came back from the frontlines, I guessed that it should be one of the three Vice Palace Masters of the Devil Cult, the 'Double Asura' Tu Zeruo."
"Tu Zeruo?"
Shenlang looked at Qin Heng doubtfully. He did not know who Tu Zeruo was.
Qin Heng saw Shenlang's doubtful expression and slapped his forehead. "Shen Gongzi, I'm sorry. I forgot that Shen Gongzi has just arrived at the Gods Continent and is not familiar with the experts here."
Shenlang did not blame Qin Heng. Instead, he waited for Qin Heng's introduction.
"The Devil religion has three deputy hall masters. They are all Dao Integration experts. The Devil religion's Budur Genesis Codex is on the same level as the Qin family's Heart Sutra of the Qin Emperor. They are both cultivation techniques for supreme experts. The Devil religion's Budur Genesis Codex is only cultivated by core members. Only those who have reached a certain level can continue to cultivate the deeper levels of the Budur Genesis Codex. The 'Two-Faced Asura' Tu Zeruo is one of the three deputy hall masters of the Devil religion.
"Tu Zeruo cultivates the Two-Faced Devil Technique from the Budur Genesis Codex. The person who cultivates the Two-Faced Devil Technique has a face that is half black and half white. During battle, his moves can be interchanged with Yin and Yang. It is an extremely powerful cultivation technique. Those who fight with him will find it difficult to adapt to Tu Zeruo's attacks. If they are not careful, the Yin energy and Yang poison will seep into their bodies. In the end, the Yin energy and Yang poison will explode in their bodies. Even Dao Integration experts may not be able to withstand it."
After hearing Qin Heng's introduction, Shenlang nodded slightly. Dao Integration experts were not considered weak. Although Shenlang might not be too concerned, they were a strong enemy for the Qin family. Shenlang, One Page Book, and the others could not casually make a move. They were mainly on guard against experts at the level of the Dragon Emperor and the Devil religion's leader. If they were exposed now, they might not be able to catch them off guard.
Shenlang thought for a moment before asking, "Then, who is the Qin family's leader planning to send this time?"
Qin Heng's eyes flickered as he slowly said three words, "Qin Xiangtian."
Qin Xiangtian was an anomaly in the Qin family. In the Qin family, Qin Xiangtian had a very resounding nickname, "Madman Qin".
When Qin Xiangtian was young, he was troubled by love. For the sake of that woman, he slaughtered the leaders of the seven great families of the Southern Mountains in one night. Blood flowed like a river and corpses littered the ground. The people of the Southern Mountains all paled at the mention of this.
If the Sky Saber Sect, a major power in the Southern Mountains, had not intervened, Qin Xiangtian would have continued his massacre.
