In an instant!
The meeting hall was enveloped by a powerful aura.
Niu Feng, who was sitting beside Qin Shujian, was still frightened by the aura even though he wasn't directly facing it.
As for the two leaders of Sichuan Cloud Village, their legs and stomachs were shaking.
If it weren't for the chair supporting them, they would have already collapsed to the ground.
As for Xu Yuanming.
At this moment, he felt as if he wasn't facing a person, but a terrifying beast.
Under the impact of that terrifying aura, his mind was shaken.
Kacha —
The chair under him suddenly split open.
Xu Yuanming immediately reacted and stood up from his seat.
Crash!
As soon as he left his seat, the chair fell to the ground.
It was also at this moment that the powerful aura disappeared in an instant, causing the rest of the people in the meeting hall to gasp for breath.
Xu Yuanming stood there at a loss of what to do.
Looking at Qin Shujian, who was sitting steadily on Mount Tai, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
At that moment.
He even had the illusion that he was facing a great terror.
It was as if the other party could easily crush him to death with just a light finger.
"Master Xu, do you think that the confidence of my Cold Mountain Village is enough?"
Qin Shujian smiled and said mockingly.
Xu Yuanming came back to his senses and forced himself to calm down. "Enough!"
At this point.
Xu Yuanming suppressed the fear and restlessness in his heart and said with a face full of reverence, "However, there is one thing that I don't understand. May I ask what level Master Qin's strength has reached?"
It was a fact that the other party was extremely powerful.
However, he was even more anxious to know what level Qin Shujian had reached.
This curiosity.
Xu Yuanming couldn't help it.
"Ninth level of the Basic Realm!" Qin Shujian softly spat out a few words.
What!
These words were like thunder, exploding in the hearts of Xu Yuanming, Niu Feng, and the others.
Ninth level of the Basic Realm!
Whether it was Xu Yuanming or Niu Feng.
They had never thought that Qin Shujian would be an expert of the ninth level of the Basic Realm.
In the Basic Realm, the fifth level was a threshold.
Crossing the fifth level and entering the sixth level was a transformation.
And after that.
Every time he improved, there would be a qualitative change.
Among the experts that had been born in the Stone Forest, almost none of them had reached the ninth stage of the Basic Realm.
Even the strongest Chaotic Gold Mountain.
Only experts of the sixth stage of the Basic Martial Realm could exist. Even the seventh stage of the Basic Martial Realm was impossible.
An expert of the ninth stage of the Basic Realm.
With his own strength, he could wipe out the Min Gai Mountain and the Cloud Stronghold in one fell swoop.
This was the terrifying aspect of the strong.
Niu Feng only suspected that Qin Shujian was an expert in the eighth stage of the Basic Realm. He never thought that Qin Shujian was not only in the eighth stage of the Basic Realm, but also in the ninth stage of the Basic Realm.
In the face of Xu Yuanming and the others' shock, Qin Shujian's expression remained indifferent.
He naturally had his own plans for revealing his true cultivation base so easily.
First, the strength of a ninth stage Basic Realm cultivator was invincible in the Stone Forest. Even if Xu Yuanming and the others knew about it, it would not cause any bad consequences. Instead, it would make them even more fearful and not dare to have any bad thoughts.
As for the second —
Qin Shujian looked at the source of life that was still pulsating.
To him.
As long as there was enough source of life.
The ninth stage of the Basic Realm and the tenth stage of the Basic Realm were normal. It was not impossible to surpass the tenth stage of the Basic Realm.
Right now, the source of life had already reached five hundred.
Qin Shujian believed that it would not take long.
He would be able to raise his cultivation base to the limit of the Basic Realm.
At that time.
Xu Yuanming and the others thought that he was in the ninth stage of the Basic Realm.
This was a normal person.
They could never understand the happiness of a cheater.
After learning that Qin Shujian was an expert of the ninth stage of the Basic Realm, Xu Yuanming completely extinguished the last bit of hope in his heart and bowed deeply.
"Xu Yuanming greets the chief!"
After that.
The system's information was refreshed.
"Chuanyun Stronghold has merged with the Cold Mountain Stronghold!"
"Because Xu Yuanming voluntarily surrendered, Chuanyun Stronghold automatically merged with the Cold Mountain Stronghold. Due to the lack of promotion requirements, the Cold Mountain Stronghold is still a first-class force!"
"You received three hundred and seventeen taels of silver!"
"You received three hundred points of source of life!"
"Eighty-five bandits merged with the Cold Mountain Stronghold and their identities automatically changed to bandits!"
It was similar to Mingai Mountain.
Xu Yuanming's surrender also meant that Chuanyun Stronghold automatically merged with the Cold Mountain Stronghold.
However, Qin Shujian felt a little regretful.
After merging with Mingai Mountain and Chuanyun Stronghold, the Cold Mountain Stronghold still remained a first-class force and did not become a second-class force.
"Compared to a second-class force, the difficulty of becoming a first-class force is much higher. The most important thing should be that Mingai Mountain and Chuanyun Stronghold are not strong enough!"
Qin Shujian secretly guessed.
Back then, there was an NPC of the eighth stage of the Basic Realm in Novice Village No. 10021.
If there was a difference in experience points between first-class forces.
Then Novice Village No. 10021 would definitely beat Mingai Mountain and Chuanyun Stronghold.
After all, the strongest person in these two bandit groups was only at the fifth stage of the Basic Realm.
However.
It was not that there was nothing to be happy about.
The three hundred taels of silver could be considered the assets of the Chuanyun Stronghold. Qin Shujian only glanced at it and directly moved it away.
What he really cared about was.
It was the extra three hundred points of source of life.
And —
Eighty-five bandits.
No.
It should be called bandits now.
Because this trip to the Chuanyun Stronghold was almost effortless, the strength of the Chuanyun Stronghold was almost perfectly preserved.
Eighty-five bandits plus the fifty bandits from Mingai Mountain.
The two added together would be a hundred and thirty to forty bandits.
Before this, the number of bandits in the entire Cold Mountain Stronghold was about this number.
In other words.
In this short period of time.
The number of bandits in the Cold Mountain Stronghold doubled again.
And with the addition of two more experts of the fifth stage of the Basic Realm and the leaders of the two forces, the strength of the Cold Mountain Stronghold increased by more than that.
Looking at Xu Yuanming who bowed deeply, Qin Shujian lifted him up with both hands and said with a smile, "From today onwards, you are the elite leader of the Cold Mountain Stronghold."
"Thank you, Leader!"
Xu Yuanming, who had just straightened up, bowed again and thanked him.
This time.
Qin Shujian did not help him up again. Instead, he calmly accepted it.
On the other side, Niu Feng was expressionless.
The expected scene of the two sides fighting and Xu Yuanming being beaten to death by the angry Qin Shujian did not happen.
He despised Xu Yuanming for being so greedy for life and afraid of death.
As one of the forces of the Stone Forest, Niu Feng suddenly felt ashamed to be associated with him.
He, Niu Feng, was not afraid of power. For this reason, he paid the price of the lives of dozens of his brothers.
In the end, he had no choice but to submit to him in order to preserve the inheritance of Mingai Mountain.
One had to submit for the sake of the lives of his brothers after resisting.
The other did not even dare to fight. He was greedy for life and afraid of death and bowed his head.
With such a comparison.
Niu Feng looked at Xu Yuanming with a sense of superiority.
