Qin Dynasty: Starting with a free Fire Kirin Sword

The moon goddess nodded gently and replied, "Please rest assured, I will be careful."

"And it's not just me acting alone; Ehuang and Nüying are already on their way and will come to our aid."

"The Luo Net sent Yan Ri, a peak Celestial Realm expert, to pursue them. They certainly take Yan Dan very seriously, but unfortunately, they ran into us."

"A master at the peak of the first level of the Celestial Realm cannot stop our progress."

Yan Ri is currently the head of the Luo Wang (Net of Heaven) and is at the peak of the first level of the Celestial Realm.

Moon Goddess, belonging to the Right ** of the Yin-Yang School, is also a peak expert at the first level of the Celestial Realm.

With the help of the two heroines, Ehuang and Nüying, the Moon Goddess was full of confidence in successfully capturing Yan Dan and believed that no unexpected events would occur during the process.

Furthermore, the main purpose of this mission is to verify whether Yan Dan was carrying a bronze box.

Without this item, there would be no need to engage in a life-or-death struggle with the sun-obscuring creature.

Then, the moon goddess changed the subject.

She looked at Yan Fei and asked with some curiosity, "Yan Fei, why do I feel that you exude a mysterious charm?"

"What's so charming about it?" Yan Fei asked in return.

The moon goddess's gaze turned serious, and she slowly said, "When I approached you, the astrological fluctuations within my body became abnormal."

"It's like encountering a super-potent tonic, making one irresistibly crave it."

Upon hearing this, Yan Fei's eyes flashed with a light.

She roughly guessed the reason.

It turned out to be because of the crystal ball that Lin Qi had given her.

The moon goddess was also skilled in astrology, which is why she reacted this way when she got close to him.

"I've recently made a breakthrough in my astrology."

After saying that, Yan Fei moved and began to perform astrology.

Instantly, the light of the seventh-level beginner astrology appeared.

However, Yan Fei did not directly reveal the secret of Lin Qi and the crystal ball.

Instead, they only revealed their own level of understanding as a cover.

Even so, it only demonstrates the cultivation level of the initial stage of the seventh level, rather than the level of perfection.

This is because the leader of the Yin-Yang School, Donghuang Taiyi, has only reached the seventh level of advanced stage.

If she were to reveal the seventh level of perfection, it would inevitably arouse suspicion and prompt a thorough investigation.

At that time, Lin Qi will inevitably come into Donghuang Taiyi's sight.

"This leader is willing to use any means necessary to revive the Ji clan."

"I need to discuss Lin Qi's matter with the Grand Master of Fate. We must not let the leader know about this."

Lin Qi possesses unparalleled talent in star power and has already mastered the power of hundreds of thousands of stars, which is by no means the limit.

In the future, this force will continue to grow.

If Donghuang Taiyi finds out, he will definitely use every means to exploit or control Lin Qi.

They even spared no effort in using all sorts of insidious methods.

It is important to know that a sky full of stars plays an extremely important role in enhancing astrology.

The predictive function of astrology played an indispensable role for the Yin-Yang School and even the Ji clan.

When one cultivates to the middle to advanced stage of the eighth level, one can truly strategize and control the world from afar.

"Xinghun (i.e., Gan Luo) is a vivid example!"

A strange look flashed across Yan Fei's eyes.

During Xinghun's mission to the Zhao Kingdom, he was obstructed by the Luo Wang and was unable to return to the court on time; he even disappeared for a time.

As a result, the entire family was exterminated by the King of Qin.

But in fact,

There was also the secret interference of the Yin-Yang School behind this matter.

Donghuang Taiyi entrusted his life to Da Siming, who used it to knock Xinghun unconscious, which was the root cause of Xinghun's failure to return.

The reason for doing this was that Donghuang Taiyi discovered that Xinghun possessed extremely powerful Yin-Yang talent.

In addition, Xinghun was also a guest of Lü Buwei. Because of the suspicion of the King of Qin, Donghuang Taiyi believed that bringing him into his camp would be of great help to the Yin Yang School.

Therefore, Donghuang Taiyi devised a plan to kill Xinghun, leaving him all alone.

Therefore, Xinghun became loyal only to the Yin-Yang School and became an enemy of the Luo Net and the Qin State.

The current situation is exactly as Donghuang Taiyi wished!

Xinghun has now changed his ways and become a leader of the Yin-Yang School.

In just a few years, his cultivation had reached the pinnacle of Grandmaster, and he was appointed as the Left Grandmaster.

Their hostility towards the Qin state and the Luo Wang (a military organization) reached its peak.

As for Lin Qi's value, it far surpasses that of Xinghun.

If even the slightest hint is given, Lin Qi will inevitably become the target of public criticism and attract numerous schemes.

A thought flashed through Yan Fei's mind, but she immediately pulled herself back to reality.

Meanwhile, the moon goddess remained in meditation.

"You... your astrology has actually advanced to the seventh level, beginner stage?"

The moon goddess stood there stunned, her face pale.

Half a month ago, when she left Xianyang to return to the main headquarters, Yanfei's astrology skills were only at the mid-level of the sixth level.

However, when she secretly returned half a month later, she was told that Yanfei's astrology had advanced to the seventh level of the initial stage.

This means that within half a month, Yanfei's astrology skills have progressed through three minor stages!

Such progress was something the Moon Goddess could hardly comprehend.

Especially considering that she was only at the sixth level of the initial stage, closely following Yan Fei.

At this moment, however, a gap of several small levels had been created, and the chance to even see Yan Fei's back was no longer there.

"How is that possible? How did you improve so quickly?"

"Could it be that some opportunity has arisen?"

Shocked, the Moon Goddess hurriedly asked Yan Fei a question.

Such a growth rate is truly extraordinary.

Even top talents like Donghuang Taiyi never achieved such rapid advancement.

Therefore, the Moon Goddess speculated that perhaps a certain opportunity enabled Yan Fei to make great progress.

Yan Fei's eyes flickered, and she replied with a faint smile, "It wasn't due to any special opportunity, but rather a sudden inspiration while observing the starry sky at night."

"A sudden inspiration?"

Upon hearing this, the moon goddess's beautiful eyes furrowed slightly.

If it's due to a sudden burst of inspiration, then this situation can be explained.

A flash of inspiration is often a mysterious event that occurs unexpectedly.

Even the most talented person cannot guarantee that they will always be able to seize such a rare opportunity.

This timing is entirely dependent on fate.

Some people may have average talent, but they are fortunate enough to have several moments of sudden enlightenment.

Some people are exceptionally gifted, and may never have a single moment of inspiration in their entire lives.

Therefore, after learning that Yanfei's rapid growth was due to a flash of inspiration, the Moon Goddess gradually relaxed her attitude.

Then,

The Moon Goddess waved her hand and said, "You should put away your astrology."

Yan Fei nodded, and immediately calmed her inner turmoil.

Upon seeing this, the Moon Goddess's eyes flashed with light.

However, she remained calm on the surface and said softly, "It's getting late, I need to take care of my mission."

After speaking, she swayed and vanished without a trace.

As the Moon Goddess departed, Yan Fei entered the inner chamber.

During this time, she has completely mastered the number of stars within her body.

Now, she plans to further absorb the power of the stars, striving to reach the new milestone of the eighth level of astrology.

outside,

Just as Yanfei entered the room and closed the door,

A ghostly figure slowly emerged from the shadows onto the water's surface.

It turned out that it was the Moon Goddess who had just left.

** 86 **

As she watched the tightly closed door, the moon goddess's eyes gleamed with an unusual light.

"Epiphany?"

"At first, I almost fell for your trick."

"Unfortunately, Consort Yan, you were too negligent!"

The moon goddess parted her red lips slightly and whispered.

At first, she genuinely believed that Yanfei's advancement stemmed from a sudden enlightenment.

After all, in her view, there was no other way to make someone progress so quickly.

But when Yanfei withdrew her power, the Moon Goddess's doubts resurfaced.

After all, she had once been close to the leader, Donghuang Taiyi, who at that time possessed the seventh level of astrology.

If Donghuang Taiyi did not use astrology, there would be no fluctuation in the energy within her body.

Given this, when Yanfei retracts her power, the astrology within her body shouldn't experience any abnormal fluctuations.

but!

Just now, even though Yan Fei had clearly restrained her abilities, the Moon Goddess's astrological powers were still surging within her.

This indicates that these anomalies did not originate from the enhancement of astrology.

"There must be some unknown secret about Yanfei."

"Could it be that she obtained a rare item that could enhance her astrological skills?"

The moon goddess's eyes flickered as she rapidly pondered possible answers.

After a long time,

Her eyes suddenly lit up, and a smile appeared on her face. "Once I've settled things with Yan Dan and returned, I must find out the truth."

"What exactly is this precious item, or is there some other reason?"

"Nothing can escape my control!"

"By the way, I also need to get in touch with Lin Qi."

The Moon Goddess looked in the direction where Yan Fei was for the last time.

Then her figure gradually blurred and eventually disappeared.

at the same time,

The core location of the Black Ice Platform

After Yao Jia and the others left, the affairs were temporarily handed over to Lin Qi.

These so-called affairs are nothing more than paperwork and do not require in-depth investigations outside the office. Only in extraordinary circumstances would it be necessary to handle them personally.

However, these official documents are indeed numerous, quite tedious, and time-consuming.

Until it was nearly evening,

Lin Qi finally finished dealing with all his affairs for the day and was just about to leave when...

Hurried footsteps and anxious voices could be heard outside.

"grown ups!"

"Come in."

As soon as the door opened, a servant rushed in and said, "My lord, something terrible has happened again!"

Lin Qi raised an eyebrow and asked, "What important matter?"

The attendant reported, "Sir, the hawk message we just received indicates that our branch in Nanyang County has been attacked."

According to reliable sources, this attack was launched by a master-level fifth-tier expert.

The second-tier expert stationed there was unfortunately killed, and the Black Ice Guard suffered heavy casualties.

The exact reason why this master-level expert attacked the Nanyang County branch is still unknown.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qi's gaze sharpened slightly, and he fell into deep thought.

"I understand. You may leave now."

He waved his hand gently, signaling his entourage to leave first.

"Sir, shouldn't we send someone to investigate or track down the attackers?" the attendant asked tentatively, seeing the situation.

Lin Qi's eyes flashed, and he said calmly, "No need to be too nervous. Go back and wait for orders. We will give you instructions tomorrow."

Although the attendant was full of questions, seeing that Lin Qi had already given the order, he did not say anything more.

"Yes, sir." He then nodded and respectfully withdrew.

After the attendants left,

Lin Qi's eyes narrowed into slits, gleaming with a sharp light.
