Qin Qi of the Council.
There was probably only one person on the entire continent who would introduce himself in this way.
If it were anyone else, they would not just say the Council, but the Headquarters of the Council. No one would just say that his name was Qin Qi, but they would introduce him as the Chief of the Council, Qin Qi.
He was not very old, at least much younger than Wei Zhong. However, the Chief of the Council was a Low-class First Rank in the Xuan Army Empire, which was one rank higher than Wei Zhong, who was a Low-class Second Rank City Lord. This, of course, had something to do with his illustrious family background.
He was the second son of the Qin family, and the second brother of Miss Qin Sang.
The Council was established by the Qin family single-handedly. Any rumors from the outside world did not affect the Qin family's firm management of the Council. Qin Qi, at such a young age, rose like a rocket in the Council. It was not surprising that he became the Chief of the Council, a Low-class First Rank, at the age of less than 30.
Moreover, Qin Qi's high position was not entirely due to his illustrious family background. There were very few cultivators who reached the Connected Four Physical Spirits before the age of 30 in the entire continent. With such a starting point, many people wanted to see the birth of the seventh cultivator who reached the Connected Five Physical Spirits in the world.
All in all, the words "young, promising, and promising" seemed to belittle Qin Qi's achievements. But now, the Chief of the Council, who was in a high position, appeared alone in this undeserving gathering place of the Mountain Academy. It was a sharp contrast to Wei Zhong's large entourage. However, what was more surprising was that he blocked the way of Lu Ping and the others.
Wei Zhong, who was powerful in the Canyon Peak District, was at a loss at this moment. He did not say a word to Lu Ping and the others as they swaggered away. However, people did not despise him. After all, he was a bandit, one of the six most powerful cultivators in the world. It was said that if half of the six of them worked together, they could change the situation of the entire continent. Weren't the three empires that were divided into three parts of the world established by the few cultivators who reached the Connected Four Physical Spirits first?
In the face of such an existence, even the emperors of the three great empires would not be able to do anything. Even if he was afraid, he would not dare to act rashly. Wei Zhong was God in the Gorge Peak District, but the bandits were outsiders to him. Naturally, he could not protect them. Therefore, his silence was understood by everyone.
But Qin Qi didn't seem to understand. Just like that, he blocked the path of Lu Ping and the others. While everyone was surprised, the first thought that came to their minds was that Qin Qi must not have known the identity of that fellow among them. No matter how prominent Qin Qi was, no one thought that he could still hold his head high in front of the six powerhouses.
Wei Zhong thought so too. Therefore, he hurriedly rushed out. He did not forget to express his goodwill to Qin Qi even at such a critical moment. He wanted to remind Qin Qi, hoping that he would quickly realize that he had no choice but to let this group of people go. It was not because they had taken his son hostage.
With Bandit's identity and strength, he could come and go as he pleased. Was it necessary for him to take hostages?
Hmm? Does he have to?
It was just a fleeting thought, but it suddenly got stuck here. Wei Zhong quickly realized something. Qin Qi, who was blocking his way, did not care about the hint in Wei Zhong's eyes when he greeted him. At this time, he opened his mouth, ignoring the hint in Wei Zhong's eyes when he greeted him.
"Bandit?" His eyes rested on Bandit.
No one dared to make a sound, but everyone's heart was surging like a stormy sea. Qin Qi actually knew the other party's identity. Yet, he still dared to obstruct her like this and spoke in such a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing. Could it be that the Second Young Master of the Qin Clan had already reached the realm of connecting all five spirits?
Besides that. No one could think of a second reason. But Qin Qi continued to speak before Bandit opened his mouth.
"No. You're not Bandit. Or maybe you're Bandit, but you're in a bad state today. " Qin Qi said, "That's why you need to disguise yourself. That's why you need to take hostages."
Silence.
Since Bandit appeared. The Gathering Wind Field had always been quiet. People were used to this kind of atmosphere. Everyone regarded it as the oppression brought by the peerless experts.
But now, the oppression had been shattered, just because of a few words from Qin Qi. Because these words of his had poked at the most crucial point.
With the strength of the six experts, they could easily crush the entire Gorge Peak District. They had appeared openly and left openly. Who could do anything to them? Did they need to disguise themselves as spies to blend into the team of the Castellan Mansion? Did they need to keep Wei Tianqi in their hands as a hostage?
Qin Qi was right. This person might be pretending to be Bandit. After all, Bandit was too secretive. No one knew his real identity. Or he was Bandit, but he was afraid. That was why he was acting so cautiously.
Wei Zhong had already realized this problem in the blink of an eye. Just now, because Bandit had dodged the punch that he thought was foolproof, and the word "Bandit" had appeared at the right time to move people's souls, his mind was in a mess. He didn't think too much about it. As for the others in the Gathering Wind Field, they had similar thoughts as Wei Zhong. However, they didn't realize what was going on until Qin Qi pointed it out.
Even so, Wei Zhong still had to face an extremely difficult situation.
After all, Wei Tianqi's only son was still in the hands of the other party. And his act of abandoning his son to protect the dignity of the empire had been seen through. It was just an excuse to numb the opponent. The fact that Bandit could dodge Wei Zhong's attack meant that he was no weaker than Wei Zhong. It was impossible to snatch him away by force. What made him even more embarrassed was that he could at least control the situation. His thoughts were the final decision. But now, Qin Qi was here. He didn't know what Bandit's attitude would be. He didn't know if Qin Qi would tolerate his only son.
Logically speaking, a District Castellan like him, even though he was only a Primary Second Rank official, he held an important position in charge of politics. He was more powerful than many Secondary and Primary Rank officials who were one or two ranks higher than him. But he had no choice. The person in front of him was Qin Qi. The Qin family wouldn't care about a Castellan like him who didn't have a strong background. Speaking of which, he had been trying his best to build a good relationship with the Qin family. He just didn't know how effective it would be after so many years. He didn't know if Qin Qi could think of this step for him.
Wei Zhong looked at Qin Qi with a pleading look in his eyes. But Qin Qi's cold expression made his heart sink.
He knew that Qin Qi wouldn't compromise, and he couldn't stop Qin Qi. All he could do was cooperate with Qin Qi and see if he could find a chance to snatch Wei Tianqi away. But when he thought of Bandit's skills, Wei Zhong didn't dare to have high hopes. At this moment, he was even disappointed that Bandit wasn't a Thief Disciple.
Leave it to fate …
Wei Zhong sighed in his heart. He saw Qin Qi's sword suddenly jump out of its sheath.
