”Qiao'er?”
Qin Shi trembled when he heard the familiar name.
His eyes narrowed abruptly, ”What did you say?”
The Bloodthirsty Sword stopped. Zhou Yunpeng pretended to be calm as he gasped for breath, ”Qin Shi, I know Xu Qiao'er is your younger sister. Let me give you a word of advice. Otherwise, if you kill me, she won't have a good ending. ”
Hearing that, Qin Shi's entire body was trembling, and he was on the verge of going berserk.
He used his spirit energy to push back the Zhou family deacon, and leaped to Qin Shi's side, saying, ”Shitou, don't be rash. Right now, the most important thing is to figure out the sequence of events.”
Qin Shi calmed down quite a bit under Lin Yu's persuasion.
”Speak, what happened? How do you know about Qiao'er? ”Where is Qiao'er now?” Qin Shi clenched his fists so hard that they creaked. His eyes were blood-red as he grabbed Zhou Yunpeng and roared, ”I'll give you three counts of time. If you don't give me a satisfactory answer, I'll kill you!”
Seeing the fiendish Qin Shi, Zhou Yunpeng panicked.
”I, I said, don't kill me.” Zhou Yunpeng yelled out without hesitation. His eyes darted around as he said, ”You, did you kill three of the Cloud Tripod Sect's deacons in Barren Town and also cut off two of senior brother Ziyun's arms?”
Qin Shi narrowed his eyes. He knew that Zhou Yunpeng was referring to Yang Ziyun and Yun Lingzi.
”How do you know?” His expression was ugly as he roared, ”Did the Cloud Tripod Sect attack the Qin family?”
Qin Shi was thunderstruck when he received this news. If what he thought was true, then he would become a sinner of the Qin family, a sinner of all ages. However, that shouldn't be the case. With the Flaming Cloud Sect's flag, even if the Cloud Tripod Sect made a move, the sect would still receive the news.
”No, not really.” Zhou Yunpeng gritted his teeth and said anxiously, ”Senior brother Ziyun, please inform the sect about this matter. The Sect Leader and the various Sect Elders are indeed furious. However, when they found out that the Qin family had the Flaming Li Sect's protection flag, they did not attack the Qin family recklessly. ”
”For this, Shixiong Ziyun bears a grudge.”
Zhou Yunpeng did not dare to hide anything. ”Not long ago, I was expelled by the Li Huo Sect, so I went to a restaurant to drink. Coincidentally, I met senior brother Ziyun chasing after Xu Qiaoer.
Qiao'er in the ancient city? This point caused Qin Shi to be somewhat astonished.
”What did she come to the ancient city for?” As he thought this, Qin Shi glared at Zhou Yunpeng. ”So, in order to enter the Cloud Tripod Sect, you helped that scum Yang Ziyun to capture Qiao'er, right?”
Zhou Yunpeng was frightened by Qin Shi's gaze. He shook his head vigorously and said, ”No, I'm not. Really, I'm not.”
”Let me ask you, what is the Cloud Tripod Sect planning to do to Qiao'er?” He was too lazy to waste words with Zhou Yunpeng. This was Qin Shi's greatest concern. Xu Qiao'er was his sister and the person he cared about the most in the Qin family other than his parents and Liu Yan Bing. He absolutely could not let anything happen to her.
Even if he died. No.
This sort of protection came from the protection of the Essence.
Glancing at Zhou Tong who was being pestered by Yao Yanping, Zhou Yunpeng knew that he was no match for Qin Shi. He trembled in fear as he asked the most rudimentary question, ”I, I'll tell you, can you not kill me? As long as you don't kill me, I'll definitely tell you everything I know. ”
”If you say it, you might not live. If you don't, you will die.”
Qin Shi pursed his lips as he shouted coldly. The Bloodthirsty Sword in his hand even neared Zhou Yunpeng. After what happened just now, Zhou Yunpeng's personality had already been captured by him. He was timid, afraid of death, and weak. This sort of person would only behave themselves under threat.
As expected, he was stopped by the cold Bloodthirsty Sword. Zhou Yunpeng's expression changed, ”I say, the Cloud Tripod Sect was still brooding over the Barren Town incident, but later on, because of the Li Huo Sect, they never had the chance to take revenge. ”Therefore, Yang Ziyun capturing Xu Qiao'er in the ancient city is perfectly justified.”
With that said, Zhou Yunpeng probed, ”They're preparing to execute Xu Qiao'er.”
Bang!
Qin Shi's entire body was filled with spirit energy. Under the influence of the spirit energy, the entire guillotine trembled violently. ”What? They want to execute Qiao'er? Tell me, which day do they plan to move? ”
”Three days later, the night of the full moon.”
Qin Shi's heart shook as he raised his head to look at Haoyue in the sky. Sure enough, Haoyue was already approaching the full moon, and in three days, it would be the Mid-Autumn Festival. Realizing this, Qin Shi became extremely nervous, ”Three days. Only three days. What should I do?”
In three days, how was he going to save Xu Qiao'er?
”Uncle Qin, I-I've already told you everything I know. Y-you just let me go.” Zhou Yunpeng's face was filled with longing and pleading. He ignored the disdain and disappointment in the eyes of the Zhou family members as he said, ”If you let me go, I'll leave the Sect immediately. I'll leave the Zhou family right now.”
Qin Shi narrowed his eyes, ”Let me ask you, how is the Cloud Tripod Sect going to determine their identity?”
”You, you want to infiltrate the Cloud Tripod Sect?” Hearing that, Zhou Yunpeng's eyes widened in astonishment.
Swish! As the Bloodthirsty Sword approached Zhou Yunpeng, Qin Shi coldly replied, ”This is not a question you should ask.”
”I, I said.” Zhou Yunpeng fearfully said, ”The Cloud Cauldron Sect is about the same as your Li Huo Sect. They also rely on hand cards to determine their identity.” Saying this, he rubbed his chest and took out a hand that was similar to the command medallion of the Li Fire Sect. The hand was shaped like an auspicious cloud with the two words Zhou Tong on it: ”This, this is my hand. Lord Qin, don't kill me. This hand will belong to you.”
After receiving the cards, Qin Shi weighed them a few times.
