Qin Dynasty: Starting with a free Fire Kirin Sword

Each of the six sword saints had reached the third stage of the Grandmaster realm, and their combined attack was even comparable to that of a beginner-level immortal.

On the other hand, among the peasant experts sent to deal with Lin Qi, there were no beginner-level immortals.

Within the entire rural system, only Tian Guang has reached such a level.

Latest intelligence indicates that Tian Guang himself is behind the theft of the imperial palace treasures.

If Tian Guang were involved, he would be unable to focus on the assassination plot against Lin Qi.

Moreover, given Lin Qi's current skill level of only Grandmaster Stage 1, is it really necessary for Tian Guang to personally take charge? Any major branch leader of the Farmer's Clan would be more than capable of handling this task.

"Dealing with just one leader of the peasant faction is a piece of cake for the Six Sword Saints." Zhao Gao's eyes gleamed with anticipation. "If there's a chance, taking care of the peasant faction's leader as well would be an excellent outcome."

As Zhao Gaoqing was envisioning a beautiful future,

A slight sound came from beside my ear.

Immediately afterwards, a masked agent quietly appeared in front of him and knelt down on one knee.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!" the spy respectfully reported the latest developments.

"Good!" Zhao Gao nodded slightly upon seeing this.

Then, he looked at the masked man with a smile, "Did you retrieve the carrier pigeon from Nanyang County?"

"Reporting to Master, it has been retrieved!" the masked man replied respectfully, deftly pulling a carrier pigeon from his sleeve and handing it to Zhao Gao.

Zhao Gao slightly raised his arm, and the carrier pigeon landed steadily in his palm.

He untied the secret message from the carrier pigeon's leg and casually released the pigeon.

After it had gone far away, Zhao Gao slowly opened the secret letter, and found a note attached to it.

Soon, the information on the note was revealed.

"Lin Qi concealed his true skills, leading to the complete annihilation of the Six Stars Sect."

Although the sentence was brief, it struck Zhao Gao like a heavy hammer, causing him to freeze in place and his whole body to tense up.

The masked man below was stunned when he saw this.

This was the first time he had seen Zhao Gao display such a shocked expression.

"Could it be that there's a serious mistake?"

A sense of foreboding suddenly rose in the masked man's heart.

What happened next confirmed his fears!

The next second, an unstoppable aura burst forth from Zhao Gao's body.

This powerful aura spread outwards, directly sending the masked man kneeling on the ground flying.

at the same time,

Bang, bang, bang! The delicate decorations such as vases and ceramics in the courtyard shattered and scattered instantly.

The entire courtyard was in a mess, and the masked man who had been kneeling was pushed to the corner, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Fear and despair raged within him.

Zhao Gao was furious! And this was the first time in his life he had witnessed Zhao Gao's intense anger.

He endured the pain, not daring to soothe his wounds, and collapsed to the ground again, head bowed, not daring to even breathe.

On the steps,

Zhao Gao's face was filled with violence and distortion.

"Lin Qi!" He was furious and squeezed the name out from deep in his throat.

As the words fell, a surge of anger swept around, and a murderous intent, like a flash flood, spread out.

After a long time, the terrifying aura gradually subsided.

But Zhao Gao's face remained as cold as ice, revealing deep hatred.

"Six Star Sect! They're dead!" His voice was cold and ruthless, revealing endless resentment.

The six-star sect he forged through countless trials—those elites capable of challenging Heavenly-level experts—were gone just like that!

Especially since not long ago, he had spent a lot of precious materials to improve their strength, but now everything has become a thing of the past.

"Lin Qi!" When he roared the name again, Zhao Gao's eyes became even deeper and darker, almost radiating a deathly light.

This is the third time! These are three separate plans targeting Lin Qi, and each one is more devastating than the last.

Initially, the fact that only one Heavenly-level expert was injured was not considered a major blow.

Later, he lost a master-level fifth-level character in the second attack on the eastern suburb villa, which made him feel a little regretful. However, this warrior was old and it was expected that his combat power would decline soon. At that time, even if he was not eliminated by the external enemy, he would be eliminated by the new generation of Luo Wang members.

Indeed, the Net is a world full of madness and competition! In order to cultivate the strongest weapon, members fighting and killing each other has long been commonplace.

And now,

The third and final operation resulted in the complete annihilation of the meticulously crafted Six Star Gate! This was a fatal and irreparable loss.

This made Zhao Gao feel unprecedentedly frustrated. He longed to go to Nanyang immediately and dismember Lin Qi to vent his hatred.

Unfortunately, reality did not allow him to do as he pleased.

"Excellent, Lin Qi, you have truly enraged me!" "When you return here, only death and destruction await you!" Despite the raging fire burning in Zhao Gao's eyes...

However, he did not lose his rationality, nor did he rush to issue new orders.

This is because every member of the Six Star Sect has reached the Grandmaster level. If a similar team were to be organized again, it would probably take much longer to train and prepare them.

When the power of the six realms converged in his body, Lin Qi displayed a strength almost equivalent to that of a beginner-level Celestial Realm warrior.

Shockingly, Lin Qi was able to control the power of **Six**.

In other words, Lin Qi's foundation and strength may have already reached the initial stage of the Heavenly Realm! Such astonishing power makes it extremely difficult for the Luo Net to eliminate him directly.

Even if top experts strike like the sun rising, the chances of success are not high.

Ultimately, for a celestial warrior, even if they cannot defeat the enemy, retreating is always a viable option.

"Taking down Lin Qi doesn't necessarily require a head-on confrontation!"

“A carefully fabricated rumor could drive him to his doom.” Zhao Gao’s eyes flashed as he began to think quickly.

In another residence, bathed in the light of the semicircular moon...

The spacious courtyard features a lavishly decorated pavilion, filled with a variety of fine wines and delicacies.

A figure sat alone, holding a glass of turbid wine, lost in thought.

This man was tall and upright; he was none other than Xiong Qi, the Lord of Changping.

Xiong Qi gently raised his cup, took a sip, and exclaimed, "It's truly exquisitely sweet!"

After finishing his drink, he put down his glass, looked up at the night sky, and muttered to himself, "Logically speaking, the good news should have arrived by now..."

As he said this, a smug smile appeared on his face.

Just then, a slight sound came from the air.

Changping-kun's eyes flickered slightly as he looked in the direction of the sound.

A carrier pigeon was slowly landing in front of him.

Seeing this, Changping Jun stretched out his hands to welcome him.

The carrier pigeon landed gently, as if it understood his intention.

After receiving the letter,

Lord Changping gently untied it and released the messenger.

Then, the paper was slowly unfolded, and the information appeared on it:

"Yan Dan and his entire group perished, with only Lin Qi surviving!" Despite being only ten characters long,

But in that instant, it felt like an iron rod had struck him heavily on the head.

His thoughts suddenly became blurred, and it took him a long time to slowly come back to his senses.

After repeatedly checking the letter in my hand, I finally confirmed that there was nothing wrong with it.

At that moment, his body seemed to lose all strength, and he slumped completely into the seat.

My fingers unconsciously loosened, and the wine glass on the table was accidentally knocked over.

With a sharp "crack," the glass shattered on the floor.

After a while, Xiong Qi repeated these words in a low voice, "Yan Dan is dead?...And Lin Qi is still alive?"

He kept shaking his head, finding it hard to accept the fact that, from his perspective, Lin Qi was merely a master-level cultivator; yet among the people he had sent out...

Xuanzong, Yutu, and Yandan are all no less capable than Lin Qi, and some are even better.

How could I have made a mistake?

It wasn't just a mistake; it was a complete disaster! And yet, Lin Qi, the least likely to survive, miraculously did!

What exactly is hidden in this?

"How could Lin Qi not die? And what happened to Yan Dan and his group?" Xiong Qi was puzzled and did not understand why things had developed this way.

In contrast, the Net of Heaven possessed far more comprehensive information.

They quickly discerned Lin Qi's true power and realized that he had actually reached the sixth realm.

However, the information Changping Jun received was only superficial: the fates of Yan Dan and the other two were already decided.

The informant from the peasant family in Nanyang County could not provide more detailed information.

Therefore, the message sent back only stated the fact that Yan Dan and the other two were killed and that Lin Qi survived.

As for the underlying forces and the specific circumstances that led to all of this, they are completely unknown!

"There must be some secrets about all of this that I don't know about."

"Perhaps Lin Qi is hiding his true strength, or someone is helping him!" As his thoughts gradually became clearer, Xiong Qi made a new judgment.

After all, although Yan Dan and others lost their lives, it had no direct impact on him personally.

Because he was not directly involved in the operation—whatever happened between the three of them could not have a substantial impact on him.

Even if Lin Qi knew about my collusion with the peasants and sent assassins to kill me, so what? Should I go and tell the Emperor?

Without evidence, all of this is nothing but baseless speculation! I am utterly fearless.

"If something goes wrong on Yan Dan's side, it's considered a failure, no problem." "But Tian Guang's side absolutely cannot suffer any mishaps!"

Changping-kun's eyes revealed determination, and his heart was filled with turmoil.

Even if Yan Dan sacrifices himself and the two leaders of the peasant family pass away, it will not shake the overall situation.

The key is the palace resources that Tian Guang controls!

Once these precious royal supplies are successfully transported to the farmhouses, the farmhouses will experience rapid growth and development.

Despite losing two top experts, Xuanzong and Yutu, this resource can still cultivate four or more geniuses.

Especially in recent years, a number of outstanding elites have emerged from rural areas.

People like Sheng Qi, Wu Guang, Tian Meng, and Tian Hu are exceptionally talented. With sufficient resources, their strength can rise rapidly.

The choice of Sheng Qi is particularly noteworthy!

Changping Jun is optimistic that he will become the new leader of the Farmer's School and achieve the strength of the Celestial Realm.

"and many more!"

Before his thoughts could finish, Changping Jun suddenly felt a pang of heart palpitation.

A terrible thought flashed through his mind.
