Qin Dynasty: Starting with a free Fire Kirin Sword

However, the Holy Spirit Sword Technique is a peerless sword skill, and even the third move within it is extremely powerful!

Lin Qi was confident that with this third sword technique, he, at the level of a second-tier grandmaster, could defeat a fourth-tier grandmaster with a single strike.

"In terms of lethal techniques, mastering the Three Sword Techniques is enough to achieve a level advantage in battle!"

"In terms of physical defense, the level 9 Bronze Statue Technique can withstand all attacks from any attacker below the Grandmaster level!"

"In terms of speed, it also performs excellently thanks to the Asuka Crossing skill!"

"Looking at all my attributes, I can be considered well-rounded, possessing both all-around defensive and offensive capabilities!"

After reviewing his condition, Lin Qi felt very satisfied.

This is exactly the effect he wanted to achieve!

He doesn't need a large or complex skill set; he only needs to strengthen himself from various angles:

Body, speed, mind, powerful attack and physique...

For every weakness, there is a corresponding skill to cover it—that's enough!

With this configuration, he can be fearless in the face of any threat!

"Now I've mastered the three core areas of speed, ** (likely referring to a specific skill or technique), and attack. But if I want to fully strengthen myself, there's still a long way to go!"

Lin Qi sighed softly and shook his head slightly.

After adjusting his clothes, he prepared to head to the Black Ice Platform headquarters to carry out his daily work as usual.

Arriving at Black Ice Platform

As Lin Qigang stepped through the door, he immediately noticed a surge in the number of people in the office, all hurrying about, and a tense atmosphere permeated the air.

This scene can only point to one thing: a major event has occurred!

Entering the office area.

As soon as Lin Qigang sat down, he wanted to look at the documents and materials on the table.

Boom boom boom!

Then came a knock on the door.

"Please come in!"

The door opened in response, and the subordinates entered.

The visitor gave Lin Qi a simple bow and then directly informed him of the situation: "Your Excellency, the commander summons you for an audience!"

"The commander summons you?" Upon hearing this, Lin Qi raised an eyebrow slightly and nodded to his subordinate in response, "Understood, I will go immediately."

After setting down the documents in his hands, Lin Qi strode confidently toward the Chief of Staff's office.

Upon entering the Chief of Staff's Hall,

Lin Qi noticed Yao Jia standing indoors, his brows furrowed.

Judging from the situation, there has indeed been a major change!

"grown ups!"

"arrive?"

Without wasting any words, Yao Jia told him directly: "Something big happened last night!"

Before Lin Qi could respond, he continued in a deep voice, "Han Fei is dead."

"Han Fei **?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qi's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt.

“That’s right,” Yao Jia nodded in confirmation, “He not only committed ** crimes, but is now imprisoned in the imperial prison.”

"When the night watchmen heard the piercing screams last night, they rushed to the scene,"

"I happened to witness Han Fei's escape after committing the crime."

"what?"

After hearing Yao Jia's account of the situation, Lin Qi was puzzled.

Han Fei committed a crime in the bustling city, which was witnessed by the soldiers on the spot. He then escaped during the chaos.

This whole series of events sounds unbelievable.

Han Fei was a rare sage in the world.

Even someone as despicable as him, how could he commit such a grave crime?

"General, could it be that someone has framed us?"

"Han Fei's appearance can be altered by any highly skilled master through disguise!"

Filled with doubt, Lin Qi looked at Yao Jia, seeking answers.

Yao Jia nodded slightly and replied, "Initially, I also guessed that way."

"But not only his appearance, but also the traces and relics left at the scene, including the Reverse Scale Sword, all point to Han Fei himself."

"The more crucial evidence is that when our soldiers searched Han Fei's residence, Han Fei, who should have gone to bed not long ago, was nowhere to be found."

Lin Qi fell into deep thought upon hearing this.

Appearances, traces, and objects are not difficult to forge or frame.

But when it comes to the Reverse Scale Sword, the issue becomes more complicated.

Because Han Fei almost never lets the Reverse Scale Sword leave his side.

More importantly, Han Fei has completely disappeared.

All these clues eventually converged on him.

At this moment, he truly didn't know how to clear Han Fei's name.

After a moment's thought, Lin Qi asked his question: "How do you plan to deal with Han Fei's matter?"

Yao Jia replied, "Han Fei did not struggle much when he was arrested. He just repeatedly emphasized that he was innocent and hoped for a thorough investigation."

"Because he is a member of a Korean noble family, His Majesty attaches great importance to this matter and has ordered a thorough investigation."

"Over the next few days, I will work with several commanders to conduct an in-depth investigation into this matter."

"You will not need to join the investigation; your task will be to go to the imperial prison and keep a close watch on Han Fei."

what?

You want me to go to the imperial prison to guard it?

Lin Qi was startled.

If he had the choice, he would rather pursue ** than be imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison with Han Fei.

Because, in his view, who was familiar with the background of the script, Han Fei was subjected to the terrifying Six Soul Curse on his first day in prison.

In other words, the Yin-Yang School will take some action today.

Being assigned to guard the Heavenly Prison meant facing the Yin-Yang School directly.

Among the very few who can use the Six Souls Curse—

The Great Fate Master, the Moon Goddess, the Eastern Lord and the Flame Consort… among these people, those residing in the Yin-Yang School's headquarters in present-day Xianyang City…

According to his memory, it was limited to Dongjun Yanfei and Da Siming.

"Although the Grand Master of Fate is a master-level expert, he is still somewhat lacking in the ability to infiltrate the Heavenly Prison in a covert operation."

"Therefore, the Yin-Yang School member who was able to infiltrate the Heavenly Prison must undoubtedly be Dongjun Yanfei!"

"Dongjun Yanfei - a powerful force at the Celestial level!"

Thinking of this, Lin Qi couldn't help but tremble slightly at the corners of his mouth.

He himself had only reached the second level of the Grandmaster realm, while Yan Fei's strength was...

Ranked second in combat power among the Yin-Yang School, he has steadily stepped into the Celestial Realm.

For a junior grandmaster at the second level to resist a powerhouse of this caliber is tantamount to blasphemy.

After pondering this, Lin Qi prepared to raise his objections to Yao Jia, indicating that he was unwilling to accept the task.

However, at this very moment,

"Boom!"

"Special mission detected: Head to the Heavenly Prison!"

"Boom!"

A reminder:

"Complete the Heavenly Prison mission, reward: Bright Pearl Divine Skill!"

Lin Qi was taken aback.

Then his eyes lit up, revealing an undisguised look of surprise.

Bright Pearl Divine Skill!

That's one of the top martial arts skills in the world!

By cultivating to the highest level, the ninth level, one can achieve the wish of eternal youth and immortality!

Furthermore, the internal energy will form a perpetual, automatically generated energy circulation system, making one virtually immortal in battle.

And most importantly—

This special mission was merely to go to the Heavenly Prison; Lin Qi was not required to stay there.

Lin Qi only needs to step into the Heavenly Prison, take a short look around, and return after the mission rewards are triggered.

This generous reward is truly tempting.

"Besides, I don't need to worry that Yan Fei will be a threat to me." Lin Qi thought to himself, "After all, her target is Han Fei, and she is using the Six Soul Fear Curse in a secretive way, rather than attacking directly."

Thinking of this, Lin Qi felt somewhat relieved.

As long as he doesn't provoke Yan Fei, he shouldn't get into any trouble.

Besides, what does Han Fei's life or death have to do with me? After clarifying this point, Lin Qi smiled easily and looked at Yao Jia, replying, "Alright, I'll take on the guard duty."

"Then I'll head to the Heavenly Prison now." Lin Qi seemed unusually eager to obtain the "Mingyu Gong" as soon as possible.

Yao Jia nodded slightly in response, "Okay, then go ahead."

As soon as Lin Qi finished speaking, he left the command center and hurried towards his destination.

The Heavenly Prison of the Great Qin Kingdom was located in the suburbs of Xianyang, a remote and quiet place.

By the time Lin Qi arrived, it was nearly noon.

"My lord!" Upon seeing Lin Qi arrive, the Heavenly Prison administrators immediately stepped forward to pay their respects.

The Black Ice Hall wields immense power, and the Heavenly Prison is one of its jurisdictions.

Lin Qi smiled and returned the greeting, then asked, "Is everything alright with Han Fei?"

The guard in charge of the Heavenly Prison respectfully shook his head and replied, "Reporting to Your Excellency, the dungeon where Han Fei is imprisoned is located in the most heavily guarded area, and so far there have been no incidents."

"We must not let our guard down. Unless it is essential personnel, no one else is allowed to enter," Lin Qi solemnly reminded.

"Please rest assured, sir, the entire Heavenly Prison has been completely sealed off. No outsider, not even a fly, can cross the border." The person in charge spoke resolutely and confidently.

Lin Qi sighed softly upon hearing this and said no more—after all, powerful figures in the celestial realm, such as Yan Fei, are difficult to stop.

Especially in the animated story, even though the Heavenly Prison is extremely well-defended, it still cannot stop Yan Fei's silent actions.

However, these secrets are not appropriate to be mentioned on this occasion.

"You've done your best, now lead the way." Lin Qi said calmly, gesturing for the man to lead the way.

"Sir, please." The other person politely led the way and walked ahead.

Upon entering the Heavenly Prison, one sees soldiers stationed every ten steps, indicating extremely thorough security.

In addition, there are unique identification methods, making it difficult for any attempt to infiltrate by disguising oneself.

"Please lead me directly to Han Fei and confirm his safety; that will suffice." After walking some distance within the Heavenly Prison, they still hadn't heard the system's notification that the mission had succeeded.

Therefore, Lin Qi gave orders to the accompanying officials, guessing that the reward might only be unlocked upon reaching a designated location.

"My lord, please follow me." The two continued forward for a short distance, and then a figure appeared before them.

The man carried an empty bamboo basket on his back and had a simple, unadorned appearance, like a jailer who had just returned from delivering meals.

Upon seeing Lin Qi and his party, the man paused slightly, then quickly stepped aside to make way for them, bowing his head slightly to show respect.

The names of the characters in the text are retained, but the content is restated as follows:

A respectful voice rang out: "Greetings, Your Excellency."

"Little Li, have you brought the food?"

The prison warden smiled slightly upon seeing this.

Then, pointing to Lin Qi, who was standing straight to the side, he quickly introduced him.

"Oh, right, he's Lord Lin Qi of the Black Ice Guard. Why haven't you saluted yet?"

"If Lord Lin Qi appreciates you, you will have the opportunity for promotion in the future!"

The man called Little Li immediately turned his gaze to Lin Qi and said respectfully, "Greetings, Lord Lin."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qi glanced at Xiao Li Zi, but quickly looked away.

This person is so ordinary that I can't even muster any interest in talking to him.

“Hmm,” he nodded slightly in agreement, then gestured for the prison warden to lead the way.
