"It's a pity that it's Gou Huan! He is very powerful, and this is his home base. Even though I am sure of defeating him, trying to kill him, and kill him in a short period of time, is just a dream, and it is impossible.
. He can only keep this fragment for a while, and wait for an opportunity to seize it later."
Qin Ziling's excitement quickly calmed down, because he had calculated in his mind that he had no chance of success at all. Even if he was entangled by Gou Huan and his men, and the other three town generals or Zhu Xian arrived, he would not only fail to seize the treasure
, on the contrary, you will be unable to escape.
"Meet General Zhenxi!"
Qin Ziling suppressed the unrealistic thoughts in his heart and bowed to Gou Huan with everyone.
"No more courtesy!" Gou Huan stood high and waved his hand.
Then, everyone stepped forward one by one according to their standing positions and presented the list of tributes and the storage ring containing the tributes.
Someone took the tribute list and the storage ring containing the tributes, roughly counted them, and then handed them over to the steward Lu Yu who was standing under the steps of the throne of General Zhenxi.
After the people who presented the list of tributes and the storage ring containing the tributes were confirmed to be correct, the servants and maids in the palace would come to lead the way and lead them to sit behind the large tables placed on both sides of the hall.
Not long after, it was the company commander's turn to step forward.
Company Changfeng respectfully presented the list and the storage ring containing the tributes.
A steward took it over, roughly counted it, and handed it over to Lu Yu.
Under normal circumstances, when the list and storage items are in Lu Yu's hands, as long as he nods, it's done.
"Bring the list of Qingyun Island to my general for review." However, when he arrived at Qingyun Island, Gou Huan seemed to suddenly become interested and said.
"General, please take a look!" Lu Yu heard this and quickly handed the list to Gou Huan respectfully with both hands.
Gou Huan took it and glanced at it, then his face sank slightly and shouted: "You are so brave, you only brought so little as tribute to the king!"
"General, our Qingyun Fairy Island is just a small fairy island. This has been accumulated through our hard work over the years." Lien Changfeng explained quickly.
"How dare you deceive me, General!" Gou Huan shouted again, a powerful and majestic aura pressing towards Company Changfeng like an overwhelming force.
Qin Ziling's face changed slightly when he saw it, and he stepped forward and stood in front of the company commander. A powerful aura burst out from him, which could barely block Gou Huan's aura.
However, when he blocked Gou Huan's momentum, Qin Ziling's face turned pale, his forehead was sweating, and he looked like he was working hard and struggling.
"General Mingjian, Qingyun Island is just a small fairy island ranked low among the thirty-six fairy islands. Even if we are brave, we dare not deceive the general!" Qin Ziling said.
"Didn't your Qingyun Island defeat the owner of Langtian Island and the four elders of Floating Island on the way? With such strength, you have only accumulated so few tributes in these years, do you think this general should believe it?" Gou Huan
said coldly.
Qin Ziling looked at Gou Huan and knew that he was deliberately looking for an excuse to suppress his arrogance. At the same time, he also wanted to make his attitude clear to Fukong Xiandao, so that Fukong Xiandao would not attack Qingyun Xiandao.
scruples.
Qin Ziling was so angry that he wished he could suppress Gou Huan.
But he knew that once he took action, not only would he not be able to kill Gou Huan, but he would also have to go on the run.
Therefore, although Qin Ziling was extremely angry in his heart, he behaved very respectfully on the surface, bowing and handing over to Gou Huan.
"The general is really wise and powerful, and he has insight into everything. In the past two days, thanks to the general, I gained something on the way. It was because we were confused and forgot to include this part of the gain. We only calculated the Qingyun Fairy Island in the past five years.
and the income from hard work on the nine nearby islands. Please forgive me, General, and I will include this part of the income in the calculation."
Qin Ziling said and quickly wrote a new list and handed it over with both hands.
Lu Yu took the list, glanced at it, his eyelids twitched slightly, and then hurriedly handed it over to Gou Huan.
On this list, there are one hundred yuan of high-grade immortal stones alone. This number is not a small amount even for Lu Yu, the great butler.
Gou Huan saw that Qin Ziling didn't know how to praise him and took the initiative to seek refuge with him. Moreover, he was from Qingyun Island, so he suddenly wanted to suppress his arrogance and lose his face.
If he dared to refute, he would take the opportunity to give him a little pain.
Unexpectedly, Qin Ziling knew how to advance and retreat so well. Not only did he not have the slightest intention to refute, but he also started to flatter and self-examine himself, and then took the initiative to present a new list.
This new list is of course nothing to Gou Huan, but it is still interesting.
In this case, Gou Huan could not continue to scold him.
After all, when he is in his position and has to manage such a large stall, he often needs to convince people with rules and cannot rely solely on force.
"Recognizing your mistakes can help you improve a lot! Forget it, I, the general, will spare you this time." Gou Huan waved his hand, and a servant came forward and led the three of them to sit down behind a large case table.
Lien Changfeng, the owner of the island, sat in the middle, while Qin Ziling and Qu Zhong sat on the left and right sides.
Most people looked surprised when they saw the three people from Qingyun Xiandao sitting down.
At that time, they saw that Qin Ziling dared to snatch away Duanmu Song and others, and even took away the magic weapon, so they thought that he would definitely seek refuge with Gou Huan as a backer in order to escape the revenge of the floating fairy island.
Unexpectedly, he didn't.
At the same time, they were also surprised that Qin Ziling, a ruthless character, would lower his body without hesitation and compromise in front of Gou Huan just now.
Among the people, only Duan Musong and others from the floating fairy island had the most complicated expressions.
Duanmu Song was surprised and gritted his teeth.
Surprisingly, Qin Ziling did not seek refuge with Gou Huan, otherwise it would be very troublesome for them to retaliate and kill him afterwards.
What made Qin Ziling grit his teeth was that the harvest Qin Ziling mentioned on the way was exactly their wealth.
This is how they used their wealth to please General Zhenxi! And he slapped them in the face again in public!
After accepting everyone's tribute, Gou Huan stood up and left.
With his status and strength, how could he deliberately stay to accompany the guests?
After Gou Huan left, the manager Lu Yu arranged a singing and dancing banquet, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became much more relaxed.
Qin Ziling looked at the direction Gou Huan was leaving, a very subtle look flashed deep in his eyes.
Because at this time, in the vast void, the fire dragon's one eye finally opened a small part, half closed and half closed. It seemed that it had been stimulated and woke up without Qin Ziling inputting any pure Yang power.
.
"Boy Qin, I feel another small part of my body. You have to find a way to find it for me right away," Huolong said.
"Senior Fire Dragon, I think so too! But the person who owns those fragments is not only powerful and a first-grade true immortal, but this is also his lair, and he also has a third-grade true immortal behind him. With my strength, although I have
We are sure to defeat him, but it is simply impossible to kill him and escape safely. Therefore, senior, don’t be impatient. When I am stronger, I will find a way to help you snatch the fragment." In the void,
Qin Ziling's spirit said.
"True immortals are nothing. Thinking back to those days...thinking back to those days..." Fire Dragon seemed to remember something, but he couldn't. There was a look of pain in his eyes.
"Senior, if you can't remember it, don't think about it." Qin Ziling said with relief upon seeing this, but he was shocked in his heart.
Although he had long known that the Nine Dragon Divine Fire Shield was extremely powerful, he did not expect it to be so powerful that even the true immortals would not take it seriously.
You know, there are nine levels of true immortals!
Each level of strength goes up a level.
Once he became a ninth-grade true immortal, Qin Ziling could not imagine how powerful he would be!
As a result, in the words of Senior Fire Dragon, true immortals are just nothing.
How powerful that must be!
This has exceeded Qin Ziling's current imagination.
"Yeah." Fire Dragon replied, and as expected, he no longer thought about it, but forced his eyes open, cheered up and said: "Boy Qin, as long as you give me as much small enchantment-level Thunder Tribulation Liquid as last time,
Coupled with your strength, we should be able to quickly kill the first-grade true immortal and escape quickly."
"The small barrier-level Thunder Tribulation Liquid was almost used up last time." Qin Ziling replied.
"Then you give me soul power. As long as it's twice as much as what you gave me the first time, I should be able to barely cast a little Flame Dragon Divine Fire." Fire Dragon said.
"Senior Fire Dragon, my soul is about to pass the tribulation. As long as I survive the tribulation of gods, my soul will be stronger and contain more pure Yang power. Not only will my strength be improved, but I will also be able to easily separate
I will give you some soul power with pure Yang power, and then it will be safer to snatch it.
If I give you such a large amount of soul power now, my soul will be damaged and the tribulation will be delayed. I am afraid that if you and I are not strong enough together, once the time is delayed, other true immortals, especially the Fire Ape Kingdom, will be alarmed.
When Master Zhu Yan arrived, he was doomed. That Zhu Yan is a third-grade true immortal, and it is said that he has the bloodline of the ancient ferocious beast Zhu Yan, and his strength is close to that of a fourth-grade true immortal." Qin Ziling explained.
"The soul's journey through the tribulation is most bizarre and unpredictable. Don't look at the fact that you have already developed the power of pure Yang before you have gone through the immortal tribulation. Logically speaking, there is a higher chance of success in overcoming the tribulation, but it is also very likely that sudden changes will occur, causing
Your efforts fell short, and your soul was annihilated." Fire Dragon said.
"There is no one who doesn't take dangerous risks to overcome the tribulation. The hope of success is relatively high, which is already very good." Qin Ziling heard this and couldn't help but think of his abnormality in refining qi and martial arts to overcome the tribulation. He couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart, but he quickly recovered.
He said calmly and with a calm face.
"But if you join forces with me, kill the first-grade true immortal, and seize the fragments for me to fuse and restore some strength, I will be able to help you when you overcome the tribulation and ensure that you are safe," said the fire dragon.
"Can you help me?" Qin Ziling looked surprised.
