"City Lord Lei, I still have to thank you. If you didn't seal us in here, I wouldn't have this fortuitous encounter!"
Zhang Zhengping said thanks, but looking at his expression, he didn't seem to have any intention of doing so.
Lei Xinghe said indifferently, "No need to thank me. If the situation in the Glaze Catacombs isn't particularly dangerous, Palace Master shouldn't call so many people in."
Zhang Zhengping was directly rebuked by Lei Xinghe.
"City Lord Lei, I can forget about this matter, but Qin Yang must be handed over to me!"
Zhang Zhengping went straight to the point.
Although he didn't know the situation at the secret realm's exit, Zhang Zhengping knew that with Lei Xinghe's current strength, Qin Yang and the rest wouldn't be a problem.
The Giant Flame Sect might even be at a disadvantage.
"Sect Master, I can't do that."
Lei Xinghe shook his head, "Qin Yang helped Zhan 'er a lot. Now that everyone knows about this, if I can't protect Qin Yang, Zhan' er won't forgive me!"
Zhang Zhengping's face was gloomy. He wanted to curse. Lei Xinghe, do you still have me in your eyes?
However, considering Lei Xinghe's current strength and the fact that Zhang Qinglan was standing beside him, Zhang Zhengping suppressed his anger.
If this matter blew up, the Glaze Catacombs might be torn apart, and they would also suffer great losses!
"City Lord Lei, this isn't the way to solve the problem!"
Zhang Zhengping's eyes flickered.
Lei Xinghe said calmly, "Palace Master, Duanmu Yan was injured by me, and the Giant Flame Sect promised not to touch Qin Yang and the rest for half a year. Why don't you agree to the same condition? In any case, the secret realm won't open again in half a year! "
Zhang Zhengping pondered.
Qin Yang and the rest shouldn't be able to increase their strength by much in half a year. As for him, if he was willing to spend resources, it wasn't impossible for him to reach the eighth level.
"Palace Master, we have to let this matter die down. Half a year isn't a long time. If we go into seclusion, it will be over after a long seclusion! "
Zhang Zhengping said solemnly, "I will consider it!"
"Let's leave first!"
Zhang Zhengping and the rest left the Glaze Catacombs, and Gu Yongnian also left temporarily. However, there would still be a Seven-star Nascent Soul cultivator standing guard here. If anything happened, there would be even more cultivators coming to support very quickly!
Arriving at Colored Glaze Holy City, a powerhouse immediately transmitted a message to Zhang Zhengping. Zhang Zhengping obtained some recent intelligence.
Duanmu Yan was indeed injured by Lei Xinghe, and he even swore a Soul Oath.
Originally, Zhang Zhengping wanted to join forces with the Giant Flame Sect to deal with Qin Yang. Now that this path was blocked, Zhang Zhengping would not do so.
In order to deal with Qin Yang, he had taken the risk of breaking his soul oath.
It wasn't worth it.
Half a year was indeed not a long time.
"How strong are Qin Yang and the others now?"
Zhang Zhengping asked via voice transmission.
"Palace Lord, I'm not too sure about this, but no matter how much he improves, Qin Yang can't possibly become much stronger in half a year."
"After improving so much inside, what Qin Yang and the others need to do now is to consolidate their cultivation."
Zhang Zhengping nodded inwardly. In his opinion, Qin Yang's cultivation improved by so much was probably due to him forcefully increasing his cultivation.
If that was the case, one year might not even be enough for Qin Yang to consolidate his cultivation.
"Palace Lord, some of our Glaze Heavenly Palace's experts should have been roped in by City Lord Lei. Some of them might have even swore a Soul Oath or something, but I don't know who they are."
The one who transmitted the message to Zhang Zhengping was one of Zhang Zhengping's trusted elders.
Zhang Zhengping's face was gloomy. It was normal for Lei Xinghe to have roped in a lot of people during this period of time.
Those people could not have predicted that Zhang Zhengping would have a fortuitous encounter in the Glaze Catacombs and his strength would increase greatly!
At that time, those people were sure that Lei Xinghe's cultivation had broken through.
According to the information that was leaked, Lei Zhan's cultivation was also quite high, much higher than Jin Hongxu. The next Palace Lord could very well be Lei Zhan!
The father was strong, and the son could very well be the next Palace Lord. It was normal for people to lean towards Lei Xinghe!
Zhang Zhengping took in a deep breath.
It seemed that he had to agree to Lei Xinghe's request. Now was not the time to have a conflict with Lei Xinghe.
"City Lord Lei, half a year!"
"Half a year later, City Lord Lei, you won't go back on your words, right?"
Zhang Zhengping's expression was cold.
"Rest assured, Palace Lord. I, Lei Xinghe, always keep my word!"
Zhang Zhengping said coldly, "City Lord Lei, this Seat is still worried. Why don't we all swear a Soul Oath?"
Zhang Zhengping did not wish for Lei Xinghe to interfere in half a year's time. He had a plan to deal with Lei Xinghe, but it was not a short-term plan.
He had to capture Qin Yang first and obtain the secret to entering the ninth level of the Emperor Intent Divine Altar. He had to increase his strength first!
— — Even if there was no secret, capturing Qin Yang and controlling Qin Yang would be beneficial to him in the secret realm!
"Palace Lord, you must have confidence in me."
"Hehe!"
Zhang Zhengping wanted to curse.
They had just been locked in there for so long. How could he have confidence in Lei Xinghe?!
"City Lord Lei, it's better for us to swear a Soul Oath!"
"Alright!"
Lei Xinghe frowned.
Soon enough, both of them swore a Soul Oath. Both of them secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
It was not a good time to shed all pretense of cordiality. Both of them wanted to stall for time.
…
"Not making a move for half a year? Very well. "
Lei Zhan went to Qin Yang's side to inform Qin Yang of the agreement between his father and Zhang Zhengping.
"Lei Zhan, inform your father and ask him to prepare. He will be following me on a long journey. It might take one to two months for a round trip."
"Alright!"
Lei Zhan nodded.
Just as Lei Zhan left, someone came in a hurry. It was Gu Zhangqing.
Gu Xiaoying had stayed in the secret realm for close to a month. She left after coming out, but Gu Zhangqing did not leave. He thought that he might be able to help Qin Yang a little.
However, Lei Xinghe made a move forcefully and did not need Gu Zhangqing's help.
"City Lord Gu, what's the hurry?"
Qin Yang asked doubtfully.
Gu Zhangqing was not a careless person.
"Qin Yang, something happened."
"The Great Cave Master of the Blood God Cave, the Blood Demon Daoist, has gone crazy. He sent out many experts and personally captured many talented people. Many people from the Blue Moon Academy were captured. Even Little Ying was captured by the Blood Demon Daoist!
"Ao Clan, Ao Wuliang, and the others were captured too."
Gu Zhangqing looked extremely anxious.
Qin Yang's expression changed.
"City Lord Gu, isn't Gu Xiaoying with you at Colored Glaze Saint City?"
Gu Zhangqing's expression was a little ugly. "Xiaoying has reached Origin Core Level Nine. She has been away for a long time. I am worried that something might happen at Blue Moon Institute. I asked Xiaoying to go back and take a look. I will stay and see if I can help."
"I didn't expect something like this to happen."
Qin Yang took a deep breath. He definitely couldn't stand by and do nothing about this matter.
Gu Zhangqing stayed to help him. Otherwise, Gu Xiaoying might be fine.
In addition, Ao Wuliang was also captured.
Qin Yang remembered that the Ao Clan had helped him before. Although he had also saved Ao Huaqing and helped the Ao Clan, Qin Yang still remembered that.
When he left Ao Clan and returned to Blue Moon Sky City, Ao Wuliang had secretly protected him. When he reached Blue Moon Sky City, he even killed the experts from Blood God Cave.
Ao Wuliang's capture might have something to do with this.
"City Lord Gu, don't worry. Blood Demon Daoist knows that you have reached Seven-Star Nascent Soul. Even if he captured Gu Xiaoying, he won't do anything to her for now!"
"Since he captured her and not killed her, he must have a request."
Many thoughts flashed through Qin Yang's mind.
Could it be that Blood Demon Daoist knew about his current situation?
Although Blood God Cave was a distance away from Colored Glaze Saint City, it wasn't too far for a Seven-Star expert.
Moreover, he had been in there for a long time and had caused quite a commotion.
It was entirely possible that Blood Demon Daoist knew about it.
"Boss, someone is asking to see you."
"He said that if you don't see him, you will regret it!"
Cheng Hui entered to report.
"Let him in."
Qin Yang said in a deep voice.
Soon, Cheng Hui brought people in. The people who came were ordinary, and their cultivation was only at the realm of True Essence. This kind of cultivation was considered good in a place like Qingyun City, and could even be considered an overlord. However, in Colored Glaze Holy City, there were a lot of them.
"Who are you? Who asked you to come here?"
Qin Yang said. His words carried the power of hypnosis.
However, the person who came was not easily hypnotized by Qin Yang.
"Qin Yang, I have underestimated you. I didn't expect you to be so difficult to deal with. You actually have connections with Lei Xinghe City Lord!"
The person spoke, and his tone and expression were a little unnatural. This person had long been hypnotized.
"You should have already guessed who I am."
"Listen well, I have a few small requests. If you can fulfill them, I will release Gu Xiaoying, Ao Wuliang, and some others. If you don't agree, there will be corpses sent here tomorrow. As for which corpse to send, it depends on my mood!"
Qin Yang and the others' faces were gloomy. There was no need to guess. It must be Blood Demon Daoist's doing.
