"Lord Xiyin, you're making things too difficult for me!"
Baili Qin held his head high and said, "As the Darkstone Empire's Marshal, I can't allow my soldiers to gallop about freely and kill my enemies. If I do this, it might harm my prestige as a Marshal. I hope Lord Xi Yin can reconsider and understand me."
"Killing is where prestige lies?"
Xi Yin said, "Even though I'm not well-versed in the art of war, I do understand that orders must be strictly enforced. The strictness of military orders will give rise to majesty. True majesty doesn't come from killing. Killing will only bring fear."
Baili Qin was stunned, "Lord Xiyin has really made up his mind?"
"Yes, it's only for two hours. I hope Marshal Baili can give me this face."
"Then … Alright then."
Baili Qin raised his arm and shouted, "Stop for two hours. After two hours, kill your way into Ling Han City."
"Yes!"
The group of Captaincy all saluted.
Xi Yin spread open a pair of golden wings and slowly rose into the air. Her voice was laced with the wind as she yelled, "Soldiers and citizens of Ling Han City, please leave the camp immediately and escape from Ling Han City through the western gate. Go as far as you can!"
The soldiers on the city wall were all shocked. They didn't know where this woman came from, but they knew that she was right. There was still time to leave. Otherwise, they would suffer the same fate as Yao Yuan.
Although many of the soldiers of the Qin Empire didn't fear death, dying for nothing wasn't a sacrifice for the country.
Very quickly, the soldiers on the city wall and within the city quickly retreated. Although there weren't many of them left, there were still about seven to eight thousand of them. If they could preserve this strength, they would be able to save some soldiers for the Ling Han Province.
Xiyin just stood there in the air, closing his eyes and waiting for time to pass.
Tarilyn, Lake, Zhou Ximin and the others all flew up and stood a few hundred meters apart. They were Xiyin's subordinates and would follow Xiyin's orders unconditionally. Therefore, they stayed here with Xiyin to delay the advance of the Blackstone Empire.
… …
Time ticked by.
After resting for a while, Dola's injuries were basically under control. He brought Luo Fei and Duo Li to the front of the central tent and said respectfully, "Thank you, Marshal Baili, for saving my life. Dola is unable to repay you."
"There's no need to be so polite, Lord Doral."
Baili Qin smiled faintly and said, "This is nothing. As a God of the Lower Realm, I have always yearned for the past of the Western Divine Realm. I do not wish for two Battle Angels to fight each other."
"Yes."
Dora asked, "Why is the Marshal indulging Xiyin so much? She's a citizen of the Western Divine Realm, yet she's obstructing the citizens of the Western Divine Realm from attacking. This is completely illogical."
Baili Qin smiled faintly and said, "Lady Xiyin is benevolent. After all, this city is the future city of the Blackstone Empire. She probably doesn't want to see a bloodbath!"
"Hmph!"
Dora laughed coldly. "Perhaps."
… …
Four hours passed quickly. When all the incense had burned down, Baili Qin smiled and said, "Can we enter the city now? Lady Xiyin, if you have the time, why don't you take a seat in the city? We'll clean up the place very quickly. "
Xiyin naturally understood what he meant by cleaning up the city. She politely declined and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Marshal. I'm heavily injured and will return to Yanming Mountain now."
"Then, farewell, Lady!"
Xiyin, Tarilin, and the rest slowly flew up.
Meanwhile, Baili Qin led a group of Beast Cavalry into the city. He looked at the civilians in the distance and said, "Kill them all!"
A Captaincy was stunned and said, "Marshal, they're not soldiers."
"What if they're militia?" Baili Qin smiled.
Captaincy also smiled. He unsheathed his longsword and laughed loudly. "Brothers, let's charge in. Leave no one alive. Tonight is the night of our celebration!"
… …
Behind them, Ling Han City was filled with cries and shouts.
A few kilometers away, Xiyin suddenly stopped flying. Her eyelashes trembled violently as if she was about to go berserk at any moment.
"Xiyin," Tarilin said softly.
Tarilyn said in a gentle voice, "You're utterly unable to stop it. This is the Darkstone Empire, and they live by slaughter and brutality. You'll only be able to save a few lives, but most of the people in the city will be unable to escape this misfortune."
Xiyin gradually calmed down.
Tarilin asked again, "Xiyin, I have a question I've always wanted to ask you."
"Speak."
"Why do you always side with the Shattered Cauldron Realm? Is it just because you're benevolent?"
"I … I don't know …" Xiyin shook his head.
Tarilin smiled. "Perhaps there's more to it?"
"Yes."
Xiyin pondered for a long time before saying in a low voice, "Tarilin, for as long as I can remember, I've been in the Banished Lands. But after coming to the lower realms, many people say that I'm that Qin Yin. Ding Xi and Yao Yuan say the same. These days, I've been thinking about what I should do if I really am that Qin Yin."
Tarilin was stunned. "Qin Yin is the Empress of the Qin Empire. She's been missing for six years!"
"But what if?" She trembled all over, unable to control her emotions.
Tarilyn smiled gently, held her hand, and comforted, "It's okay. Even if you're really Qin Yin, we're still friends. You have your position, and I have my position as a friend. Even if I can't help you, I won't make you my enemy. I'd rather be a person who doesn't do anything than become someone like Dora. Don't worry."
Xiyin nodded, but then she thought of Xi Yan's last words. Be your true self. Could it be that Xi Yan already knew that she was that Qin Yin?
"In short …"
She said faintly, "It doesn't matter if I'm Qin Yin or not. I can't do anything that I'll regret in the future. While I'm still the captain of the Battle Angel Squad, none of you are allowed to start a war with the army of the Qin Empire. If necessary, kill Dora and Luo Fei."
"Ah?!"
Lake, Zhou Ximin, and the others were stunned.
Tarilin smiled. "I can't beat Dora, but Luo Fei … it's not impossible to kill him. The power of the Nia family is not even one-tenth of our Light Clan's. Moreover, they have more than one heir in their family. Killing him won't have much impact. This is the lower world, so it's not a big deal. But what should we do next? We can't keep running around like headless flies, can we? "
"I know."
Xiyin said, "Our 20,000 troops will arrive at Yanming Mountain in three days. Let's wait for them to arrive."
"Okay!"
Xi Yin fell silent again. She wanted to know who she was, and she wanted to know if she was that Qin Yin. She wanted to know what she should do if she found out. This made her feel like there was a thorn in her back.
…
At the same time, at the western border of the Swift White Province in Lingnan, in the depths of the White Leaves Forest.
On top of a square rock in the jungle, a young man sat cross-legged. His eyes were closed, and his palms were naturally placed on his legs. Streams of icy air condensed from his palms, mixed with a faint golden luster, rose up. In the blink of an eye, the surrounding trees were plated with a layer of frost, and the whole forest seemed to have entered a cold winter.
He breathed gently. Every time he breathed, layers of frost dust would be blown away. There were a total of 32 layers, which was enough to prove that he was a God King level expert of the 32nd Level Grotto-Heaven. Moreover, his aura was stable. His understanding of the Law of Frost was clearly not something an ordinary God King could compare with.
"Wu Tong!"
A violent voice came from the wind. It was Fire Fist Zheng Jian. He came with the wind and his body was covered in flames. He said, "Oh my god, you bastard, you turned the White Leaves Forest into winter again. How many rabbits do you want to freeze to death?!"
Wu Tong opened his eyes and smiled. "Can't you just use your fire force to soften it? What are you yelling for!"
"I don't know what to do with you!"
Zheng Jian opened his fingers and clenched them into a fist. Then, he gently retracted his fist. Immediately, layers of dense flames spread out. With a low shout, the Fire Force immediately surged out, melting all the frozen things around him.
"What's going on?" Wu Tong asked.
"Good news!"
Zheng Jian's face was filled with joy. He smiled and said, "Heavenly Emperor Fuxi sent us a message from the Sky Beyond Heaven!"
"What?"
Wu Tong was shocked. "The Sky Beyond Heaven is hundreds of millions of miles away from the Three Realms. Can Heavenly Emperor Fuxi's message reach our White Leaves Forest?"
"Hmph, do you think Heavenly Emperor's cultivation is the same as ours? Let's go. Heavenly Emperor's message was sent to Scholar Ling. Come with me to take a look. I haven't seen it yet either. "
"Alright!"
The two of them turned into light and shot away.
In a cave abode in the mountains, the elegant and handsome Scholar Ling held a longsword embryo in his hand. His face was brimming with a confident smile as he said, "Divine book, seems like it's nothing much."
In just a few short years, Scholar Ling saw through the dust and actually cultivated to the God Realm. It could be seen from his long breathing.
Swish, swish!
The two figures slid a hundred meters on the grass and leaped into the cave abode. Ice Palm and Fire Fist had always been so vigorous.
Scholar Ling did not even need to raise his head to know who it was.
"What about Heavenly Emperor Fuxi's message?" Zheng Jian asked.
"Don't be anxious. Take a look at the wooden box. Inside is the treasure that Heavenly Emperor prepared for the two of you."
"Oh?"
Wu Tong opened the wooden box and saw a black elixir lying quietly inside. A faint fragrance came from the elixir. He asked, "This is?"
"I don't know what it is either, but this is a type of spirit medicine from an alternate world. It can promote cultivation. The two of you split it in half and eat it. It can greatly improve your cultivation."
"Alright!"
Zheng Jian held up the elixir and said, "Did Heavenly Emperor only bring this?"
"Of course not."
Scholar Ling smiled and said, "I want the two of you to improve your cultivation so that you can go help the heir of Heavenly Emperor. He is in big trouble."
"Oh? Hasn't the heir returned to the empire? "
"Humph, the two of you only know how to cultivate and forget everything else. Now that the Qin Empire is being invaded by enemies, the heir's life is in danger at any time."
"Then … then why don't we hurry!"
"Don't rush. Eat the elixir and improve your cultivation before you go. Otherwise, the two of you won't be of much help." Scholar Ling opened his palm. Instantly, rays of golden light flashed and turned into an ancient book. He said, "I still have a secret book from Heavenly Emperor Fuxi's inheritance. It is the martial arts technique that he wants us to give to the heir."
The secret manual appeared to be very old and shabby. On the cover, there were five words written in large font – Formless Elephant Formula!
…
"What … what kind of technique is this?" Wu Tong was shocked.
"I don't know either. With my cultivation, I can't understand it at all." Scholar Ling said, "Also, this isn't a secret book prepared for us, so there's no need to think about it."
Zheng Jian held the elixir in his hand and said, "Then why don't we leave this elixir for the heir? Wouldn't it be better after he uses it?"
"There's no need."
Scholar Ling said, "The heir has the disposition of a supreme being. This kind of elixir is of no use to him. He cultivates the God King Dao, which is completely different from the Mortal Heavenly Dao that the three of us cultivate! Alright, quickly eat the elixir and start cultivating. Wake the Beamon King tomorrow morning. It's time for us to serve the heir! "
"Yes!"
