Chapter 93: The Situation is Severe!

  Shunfeng'er's intelligence in Longxiang Mountains has been verified and accumulated over many years, Qin Zheng is also clear about it. Even if he wants to deny it, no one will believe him.

  The secret behind Longxiang's transformation through tribulations is the three lives of Linglong beast.

  Previously, Shunfeng'er mentioned that San Shi Linglong beast and Qin Zheng knew each other. At that time, it was absolutely impossible to make up such a thing, so Qin Zheng thought of someone he couldn't possibly mention, because he wasn't the kind of person who would betray his friends, no matter how great the danger might be.

  "What if I don't say anything?" Qin Zheng said calmly.

  "Why must you be so stubborn, Qin Shao?" Xiang Ziqiang seemed to have expected this, "You will eventually announce it publicly anyway. Why not tell me now and get some benefits from me in return? What's there to lose?"

  Qin Zheng was somewhat perplexed, "What does Master Xiang mean by this? What is meant by saying I will have to make a public announcement sooner or later?"

  Xiang Ziqiang smiled and said, "Qin Shao probably doesn't know yet, but the secret of Longxiang's transformation that you obtained from Shunfeng'er has already been spread out. I think now there are countless people surrounding Huayuan Mountain Villa, demanding that Qin Shao cannot monopolize this secret. In this situation, how long can Qin Shao hold on? It's definitely going to be said, so why not tell me first and then let Qin Shao tell others a day or two later? I will surely have a satisfactory reward for Qin Shao."

  "Wind's Ear!"

  A cold and ruthless killing intent flashed through Qin Zheng's eyes.

  The temperature in the air suddenly dropped, causing Xiang Ziqiong to subconsciously be on guard, afraid that Qin Zheng would launch a sneak attack on him.

  "Qin Shao, although it's infuriating to have someone like Shunfeng'er around, I advise you not to provoke him. This person knows how to protect himself. In the past, when a big shot from the Divine Alliance wanted to kill him, he managed to dodge and even spread rumors, using other people's hands within the alliance to get that big shot killed. He's definitely not someone to be trifled with." Xiang Ziqiang warned kindly.

  "Thank you." Qin Zheng's killing intent towards Shunfeng'er actually grew heavier.

  He couldn't possibly give Shunfeng'er a thousand drops of divine lotus blood, and Shunfeng'er's eccentric psychology would never believe it, so the two sides were destined to fight on.

  To get rid of this trouble, the best way is to kill Shunfeng'er.

  Taking a deep breath, Qin Zheng suppressed the murderous intent in his heart and regained his composure.

  "I don't know how Qin Shao considered my proposal," asked Zixiang, "Just need Qin Shao to say two days later, I will thank him heavily."

  Qin Zheng faintly said: "Master Xiang, don't ask any more questions. This matter, I absolutely will not speak of it to anyone."

  "Now, the Dragon Elephant Mountains are filled with countless people who have come for this matter, and they all know that only Qin Shao is aware of it. They will inevitably interrogate Qin Shao, and Qin Shao won't be able to keep quiet about it forever."

  "No one can make me say it." Qin Zheng said coldly.

  "May I ask, Qin Shao, why is this?" Xiang Ziqiang was very puzzled.

  "Because he's my friend!"

  He urged on the Pegasus, flying past Zichuan's side.

  Xiang Ziqiang sat on his black double-winged horse, staring blankly ahead, whipping the horse as he gazed at Qin Zheng's receding back. "For friendship, can someone really sacrifice their own life? Is it true that Qin Zheng stayed in the East Sea King's Palace, Yulian Temple, for the sake of friendship and righteousness?"

  Pegasus flies at full speed.

  He soon arrived above the town of Ziyang, and from a distance, he could see that the Huayuan Mountain Villa was surrounded by countless people, numbering tens of thousands, and still increasing.

  Song Qianshan and others in the Huayuan Mountain Villa were also on high alert, preventing anyone from breaking in.

  The crowd surrounding Huayuan Mountain Villa was led by an elderly man who was negotiating with Song Qianshan.

  Qin Zheng rode his double-winged horned horse to a stop in mid-air, watching with cold eyes. He recognized the old man at the lead as Cheng Zong, a loose cultivator of considerable strength within the Purple Sun Town who had not joined any forces.

  Qin Zheng is back.

  "He's just watching from up there, doesn't dare come down."

  "Alright, let him roll down, don't secretly swallow the secret."

  "Speak out the secret, otherwise kill him, what is he? The dragon and elephant crossing the tribulation and transforming shape are our affairs of the Longxiang Mountains, how can an outsider grasp it?"

  "Get out of here!"

  Someone discovered Qin Zheng, and immediately many people shouted.

  There were also some people who pointed at Qin Zheng and scolded him loudly.

  Qin Zheng patted the double-winged horse and dived down.

  When he was still a hundred meters away from the ground, Qin Zheng suddenly locked his eyes on that small group of people who were shouting the loudest and jumped down from the corner of the double-winged horse.

  As fierce as a tiger, as swift as the wind.

  The momentum is surging and overwhelming all around.

  "Roar!"

  A mighty roar burst forth from his body, like a thunderclap exploding in the air, triggering a violent gust of wind. Within a ten-meter radius around him, a fierce whirlwind appeared, and Qin Zheng, standing amidst it, seemed just like the true King of the Fierce Tigers, charging down with ferocity.

  That group of people who were shouting and screaming suddenly let out a shrill cry and fled in all directions.

  Boom!

  Qin Zheng's feet landed on the ground, and a powerful gust of wind swept across the ten directions, sending this group of foul-mouthed people flying in all directions. The cries around him immediately stopped.

  "A mob."

  The Qin government took a big step forward.

  The people in front didn't dare to block the way, and they all made way for a path, entering the Huayuan Mountain Villa directly. Without even looking at Cheng Zong, who was negotiating with Song Qianshan, this person also came for the secret of Longxiang's tribulation transformation.

  "Master." Song Qianshan ran over.

  "No need to bother with them, this is just a mob, not even the Dragon and Elephant Sects, the Xiang family, or the Zhu family are present. What threat can they pose? If people from these three families come, I'll take care of it myself. These insignificant people, who dares to step into the mountain villa? Kill them without pardon!" Qin Zheng said coldly, his words meant for Cheng Zong and the people outside.

  Cheng Zong Ting's face looked very unsightly, he walked over, wanting to interrogate Qin Zheng.

  But Qin Zhengyi didn't care about him at all and just walked away directly.

  "Song brother..." Cheng Zong pointed at Qin Zheng, his tone somewhat chilly.

  Song Qianshan changed his previous low-key attitude and coldly said: "Our young master has already spoken, Cheng Zong, please leave. You are not welcome here."

  "Song Qianshan, are you going to go against us? Don't you fear that the tens of thousands of people here will get angry and trample your Tiger Garden Manor?" Cheng Zong shouted angrily.

  "Go ahead and see how many people are willing to die for you." Song Qianshan sneered, "I've always been making a fortune with a gentle attitude, but I'm not afraid of trouble either."

  Cheng Zongqi's fire flared up three feet high, and he said hatefully: "Then try it out."

  Watching Cheng Zong walk out, Song Qianshan immediately signaled the butler to mobilize thirty tamed Wu Jing boundary demon tigers to come over.

  As expected, when the thirty or so people with similar intentions to Wu Jingyu appeared, the crowd that had been stirred up by Cheng Zhong's words calmed down again. Furthermore, Qin Zheng's strong warning earlier and the deep-seated faith in Hu Yuan Shan Zhuang that had been built up over a long time meant that no one dared to take any real action against Hu Yuan Shan Zhuang.

  Qin Zheng arrived at Yan Tingyu's room, where she was refining the divine brush.

  For safety's sake, she was transferred to a secret underground chamber to prevent danger in case of real conflict.

  Yan Tingyu was arranged to listen to the rain, and Song Qianshan, who had temporarily suppressed the situation in front of him, sent over a sealed letter, saying that it was sent by Mo Gongzhu.

  There are some seals on this letter, which is a secret method set by Mo Gongzhu. Only Qin Zheng can open it. If others open it, it will automatically turn to ashes.

  The letter was opened, and Qin Zheng's face changed as soon as he saw it.

  "Master, what's going on?" Song Qianshan asked softly.

  "Qin Yi is not the son of Master Qin." Qin Zheng said in a deep voice.

  Even Song Qianshan was stunned for a moment, "This, this..."

  Qin Zheng continued to stare at the letter, saying: "This matter has already spread in the Imperial City, and it's estimated that it won't take long for it to reach the Longxiang Mountains." He also remembered when he made a deal with Shunfeng'er, who casually mentioned that there was internal strife within the Donghai Royal Palace. At the time, he didn't pay much attention to it, but now it seemed that it was indeed true. "Lu Yunhong has extremely powerful backers supporting her from behind, so Meng Gongzhu said that the internal strife in the palace will take some time to resolve. Meanwhile, the Dahuang Imperial Family and the Pingshan Royal Palace are taking advantage of the situation to launch a surprise attack, sending large numbers of high-ranking experts here. We must be extra cautious."

  "If it's like this, we might be very passive." Song Qianshan realized the severity of the problem.

  There has been a conflict between the two sides, but the Dragon Elephant Sect has been hesitant to make a move because of the presence of a Tianwu Realm demonic tiger within the Hu Yuan Mountain Villa. However, the Dragon Elephant Sect is definitely watching with keen interest, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

  There was another big fire in the imperial palace, and the Pingnan Wangfu intervened. Song Qianshan suddenly felt a lot of pressure, which made him almost unable to breathe.

  "This matter requires me to consider carefully." Qin Zheng also felt a great deal of pressure.

  Song Qianshan bid farewell and left with a heavy heart.

  Qin Zheng looked at the letter in his hand, but he didn't tell Song Qianshan everything. In the letter, Mo Gongzhu also said that the masters sent by the Da Yan imperial family and the Pingnan Wangfu were not only aimed at the increasingly sensational dragon elephant case, but also directly targeted Qin Zheng and the Hu Garden Mountain Villa.

  As for Qin Zheng, it was all because of Yun Duo. This woman still harbored a deep hatred towards Qin Zheng and had sworn to kill him. Moreover, she was now the crown princess of the new East Palace as well as a member of the team sent by the Great Yan Imperial Family and the Ping Nan Wang Fu this time.

  As for Huayuan Mountain Villa, it is necessary to take the opportunity to thoroughly eliminate the external forces of the Donghai Royal Mansion.

  Luoyun Hong found a powerful backer, but if the old Donghai Wang hadn't stayed hidden in the imperial capital for over a decade and appeared to take up residence in the Donghai Wang Fu, this estate would have been razed to the ground. As it was, they were completely unable to provide any support, leaving Qin Zheng and the others to rely solely on themselves.

  Apart from this, he especially reminded Qin Zheng that under no circumstances should he intervene in the matter of Longxiang's tribulation. Because behind Lu Yunhong's back, there was a powerful supporter who also attached great importance to this matter. As a result, a large number of high-ranking officials led by Lu Yunhong herself were rushing towards here. This further explains that the East Sea Royal Palace is powerless to intervene. If not for this, how could they fail to deal with even Lu Yunhong, and instead allow her to stir up trouble in the Longxiang Mountains?

  Qin Zheng clearly remembered Luo Yunping saying that Luo Yunhong was certain that the Nine-Colored Lotus Sutra was sealed in Qin Zheng's bloodline, which was why he wanted Luo Yunping to capture him. This time, Luo Yunhong had come again, and it must be because of him.

  It's Qin Zheng who got entangled in the whirlpool again after going through the Nine-Colored Lotus Sutra.

  Over the next two days, news spread that Longxiang's potential would surpass that of Fengli Wangzi by over a hundred times if he successfully passed the tribulation. This drew even more people to Ziyang Town, and under the instigation of some individuals with ulterior motives, the number of people outside Huayuan Mountain Villa demanding Qin Zheng to reveal the secret of Longxiang's transformation grew. However, the Longxiang clan remained silent throughout, making no statement, causing the situation to escalate further.

  At this time, San Shi Linglong Beast secretly arrived at Tiger Garden Manor.
