Chapter 78: Who Is The Idiot
Qi Bei returned to the stream in the backyard and found the spring that caused a reaction in both the Dragon Seal on his hand and the black longsword. When he pressed his palm down again, the Dragon Seal on his hand reacted violently, like a hungry person seeing a sumptuous feast but unable to eat. However, the spring was unfathomable, and he wondered if he needed to dig a deep hole to explore it.
With a clang, Qi Bei took out the black longsword and slowly inserted it into the spring. Suddenly, the sword shook and seemed to want to struggle out of Qi Beis grasp. Jumbled information flooded into his mind, but it was not as easy to understand as usual. Instead, it was like a garbled mess that almost made his head explode.
Qi Bei quickly withdrew the black long sword, tapped his aching head, and his expression became serious. Although he didnt know what was beneath the spring, it was definitely not something ordinary. It felt dangerous, and he was not firmly established in West Spirit City yet. It would not be wise to explore it recklessly.
After thinking for a while, Qi Bei returned to his room. He didnt bother to conceal the stream because no one else should be able to detect the peculiarities of the spring.
The next day, someone sent a joint invitation from the three major forces, politely inviting him to discuss West Spirit Citys affairs at Open Sky Pass.
Lord, this seems a bit suspicious, said Lone Eye, who was an experienced old hand. Although he couldnt figure out the key point all at once, he had a hunch that it was not a good thing.
If it were the three major forces before I arrived, it would be suspicious, but now, whats wrong? Qi Bei smiled.
One-Eye slapped his head and said, Oh, right. Blood Wolves and Starfall are both on our side. The suspicious one should be Shadow Clan.
Qi Bei smiled happily. No matter how tricky Shadow Clan was, they couldnt have expected that he had already subdued Blood Wolves and Starfall, and he was just waiting for them to make a move.
Get a hundred Black-Armored soldiers ready and depart in fifteen minutes, Qi Bei said.
The Savage Wastelands was still a hundred miles north of West Spirit City, but when they passed through Open Sky Pass, the terrain would change dramatically, like two different worlds separated by a thin line.
At this moment, a row of spacious tents had already been erected on Open Sky Pass.
The five Wolf Generals of the Blood Wolves, the eight Star Generals of the Starfall, and the ten silver-robed deacons of the Shadow Clan were all here.
The Blood Wolf King was already dead, but news of it had been blocked. It was said that the Blood Wolf King was focusing on breaking through and could not be disturbed, hence the absence.
The Star Master never appears in front of the public, so her absence was normal.
But the Shadow Master also didnt show up, perhaps he had something up his sleeve.
Along the way, Qi Bei quickly received news that the Shadow Master had not appeared.
Lord, are we still going now? Lie Feng asked.
Of course we are going. The core members of the Shadow Clan are all there. Even if that Shadow Master slipped away, he cannot cause much trouble. As long as we uproot the influence of the Shadow Clan in West Spirit City, that is enough, Qi Bei said calmly, with a cold gleam in his eyes.
A frosty wind blew, swirling fine white snowflakes in the air.
Qi Bei led the way to Open Sky Pass, only taking Lie Feng and Iron Head into the tent where the meeting was to take place, while the rest of the Black-Armored soldiers dispersed around, guarding the perimeter.
Qi Bei scanned the people in the tent and sat down in the prominent position at the top.
Your leaders havent shown up? You guys are too insincere. But since Im here, lets hear what you want to talk about, Qi Bei said slowly, as if he didnt take them seriously.
With a bang, Fire Wolf slammed the long negotiation table in front of him, his face full of anger and his voice fierce, Kid, it seems you havent figured out the situation yet. We are willing to talk with you because of the Nord familys face.
Qi Bei raised his hand and slapped Fire Wolf across the face with lightning-fast speed, making a loud smack.
Seeing that the situation was about to spiral out of control, a silver-robed deacon of the Shadow Clan quickly stepped forward and held back the raging Fire Wolf, giving a signal.
The people from the three major forces who were encircling this place were still too spread out at this point. If there was a conflict now, the plan would be ruined.
Lets all calm down. We are here to discuss matters, not to fight, the silver-robed deacon persuaded.
Yes, thats right. We can discuss things. Fighting wont solve anything, Lei Ming, a Star General of Starfall echoed.
Theres actually nothing to discuss. You all surrender and I wont treat you unfairly, Qi Bei said.
Young Master Qi Bei, you better think carefully, another silver-robed deacon said in a sinister voice.
Are you threatening me? Qi Beis eyes gleamed with a cold light as he stared at the one who spoke.
At this moment, a dense crowd suddenly appeared around the entrance of the Open Sky Pass, and they were approaching to surround it.
Hahaha, threatening you? Now you know if you are being threatened or not, the silver-robed deacon laughed arrogantly.
Qi Bei smiled faintly, looking at the silver-robed deacon as if he were an idiot.
Nord brat, youre still pretending to be calm at deaths door. Send the signal, the silver-robed deacon commanded.
Send the signal, Fire Wolf and Lei Ming from the Starfall also gave orders.
Three different-colored magical fireworks exploded beautifully in the sky.
Nord brat, if you kneel down and beg for mercy now, I might spare your life, the silver-robed deacon said with a laugh.
Even if you kneel in front of me and lick my shoes, youll still die without a doubt, Qi Bei said, still looking at him as if he were an idiot.
This is outrageous, lets attack! the silver-robed deacon shouted sternly. The other eight silver-robed deacons were just about to move, but they stopped.
Another silver-robed deacon pulled at his colleague and noticed that the atmosphere was strange.
In this tent, beside Qi Bei sitting still, the five Wolf Generals and the eight Star Generals had unknowingly surrounded the silver-robed deacons, locking their killing intent on them.
In the end, who was the idiot?
What are you guys doing?! The silver-robed deacon who spoke earlier also noticed this change and shouted at the five Wolf Generals and eight Star Generals.
And at this moment, the people from Blood Wolves and Starfall outside of Open Sky Pass suddenly gathered together and attacked the people from Shadow Clan.
The sound of fierce killing suddenly resounded through the heavens and the earth.
The people from Shadow Clan came to Open Sky Pass without any preparation and were killed in an instant, with no morale left.
Take them down and make all of the Shadow Clan members surrender, Qi Bei said calmly.
The five Wolf Generals and eight Star Generals simultaneously launched an attack on the ten silver-robed deacons of Shadow Clan and outside, the twenty people from Shadow Clan were killed by the joined forces of Starfall and Blood Wolves in an instant. Then, a hundred Black-Armored soldiers surrounded the tent.
Without any suspense, under the siege of the five Wolf Generals, eight Star Generals, and the secret help of Xiao Jiu and Thirteen, the ten silver-robed deacons of the Shadow Clan did not last long and were all killed.
Hang their bodies and make all the members of Shadow Clan surrender, Qi Bei said calmly. At this point, he had basically cleared the obstacles to his rule in West Spirit City, and the next step was to consolidate his power.
