Qin Ran was unable to enter the big tent and was stopped outside the tent.
However, for him, the impact of what was happening inside and outside the account did not seem to be that great. Even when he was outside the account, he could still hear the conversations of the people inside the account.
At this time, there were four people in the tent.
A middle-aged man in his fifties sat in the main seat. It was Zhao Li.
A beautiful woman in her twenties sat on Zhao Li's left. It was Zhao Yaqing.
A young woman who looked to be around thirty years old was sitting next to Zhao Yaqing. She was Zhao Yaqing's bodyguard.
In addition to the three of them, there was another person in the tent. This person was wrapped in a black cloak, had a gloomy and terrifying temperament, and it was impossible to tell whether he was a man or a woman. He sat on Zhao Li's right hand.
"There are three cultivators in the city..." Zhao Li spoke first, and said to Zhao Yaqing, "Sword cultivator Li Shiyin, White Tiger on the top of the city, and Li Shiyin's master, Qin Ran, who just arrived in Wuyi City.
"Among them, only Li Shiyin's strength is clear. She is extremely terrifying and can face a Yuanying cultivator head-on. As for the white tiger and Qin Ran, we really don't know their strengths."
Hearing Zhao Li's evaluation of Li Shiyin's strength, Zhao Yaqing could no longer suppress the jealousy in her eyes, which turned into hatred.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Li Shiyin and Qin Ran, Aunt Mei and I fought against them four years ago. At that time, they were far from our opponents."
She paused, collected her emotions, and continued, "At that time, Li Shiyin had just established her foundation, and Qin Ran was only at the great success of the foundation. Li Shiyin had great talent, and her cultivation and strength improved quickly, but her master's talent was not so high. Therefore, Qin Ran was at most at the Golden Core level.
"As for the white tiger, I don't know it. But I can infer its strength. It is probably a spiritual beast raised by Qin Ran. The cultivation strength of a spiritual beast will not exceed that of the cultivator itself. Qin Ran is at most in the early stage of the Golden Core, so the white tiger is at the foundation-building strength."
After listening to Zhao Yaqing's analysis, Zhao Li nodded, but did not express his opinion. Instead, he looked at the man in the black cloak, wanting to hear his opinion.
"That was a sub-adult Xuanming Spirit Tiger..." The man in the black cloak spoke in a hoarse male voice. He corrected Zhao Yaqing, "Its strength will not be lower than the Golden Core Stage."
“Even if they are at the Jindan stage, even if Qin Ran is also counted as at the Jindan stage, there are only three Jindan stage cultivators in the city.” Zhao Yaqing said.
"You can definitely handle Li Shiyin and that Xuan Baihu. Aunt Mei and I will handle Qin Ran. In fact, we don't have to consider Elder Ziyi's expression."
"I have a Ten Thousand Ghosts Death Array..." The cloaked man offered a different plan, "We don't need to deal with the three separately. We just need to lead them into my array, and they will surely die."
"It's just that..." The cloaked man pointed out their limitations, "It's not difficult to kill people. What's difficult is the sword energy in front of Wuyi City. That sword energy contains sword intent and will not dissipate when the cultivator dies. In other words, even if we kill that sword cultivator, the sword energy will still be there."
Zhao Li listened and asked, "What do you think, Immortal Yi?"
"Since we have to use the Ten Thousand Ghosts Soul-Calling Formation anyway, why don't I just use the formation to refine Wuyi City..." the cloaked man said in a hoarse voice, "Once the entire Wuyi City is refined, there is no need to worry about the sword energy."
No one present was a good person, especially Zhao Li, who had fought on the battlefield for many years. But even he was horrified when he heard the cloaked man's plan.
The cloaked man wanted to refine nearly one million lives in the entire Wuyi City and turn them into part of his Ten Thousand Ghosts Reaping Death Formation.
How inhumane!
Everyone in the tent was frightened by the cloaked man's words. After a long silence, Zhao Li finally spoke up: "This method is feasible, but it is too harmful to nature. It is better not to use it casually."
The cloaked man did not express his opinion, but just sat there, as if the horrific remarks just now were not made by him.
"Li Shiyin can be killed, but the sword energy cannot be broken..." Zhao Yaqing frowned, "Does it mean that I need to go back to the palace to invite the high priest for such a trivial matter?"
Zhao Li rubbed his fingers, looked at the people in the tent, and suddenly looked at Zhao Yaqing and asked, "I have a question. Does your majesty's plan require the unification of the entire Immortal Relics Land?"
"Yeah!" Zhao Yaqing nodded.
"Unify the entire Immortal Relics Land?" Qin Ran, who was outside the tent, was surprised to hear this. The Immortal Relics Land included seven countries, including Xuan Qin, Bei Chu, Dayan, and Yan Han. All of them were unified. How could the Emperor Xuan Qin be such an ambitious emperor?
"Moreover, that plan requires the unification of the Immortal Relics Land... With the unification of the Immortal Relics Land as a prerequisite, what is that plan?!"
He suddenly felt that he had touched upon a huge secret, or rather, a taboo.
...That plan was probably the reason why Emperor Xuan Qin was able to convince Yuntianmen to help Xuan Qin!
"What a pity!" Zhao Li sighed, "I thought we could come one city at a time. With you here, we don't have to worry about the sword energy."
"I understand what you mean, uncle..." Zhao Yaqing said, "but this method really won't work."
Uncle? Qin Ran suddenly realized, Zhao Li and Zhao Yaqing, could they both be from the Xuanqin Zhao family?
"By the way, those two sword cultivators seem to be from the Northern Chu Wuyin Sword Sect." Zhao Li asked again, "Has Your Majesty convinced the Wuyin Sword Sect?"
"No..." Zhao Yaqing shook her head. "The Xuan Qin sect is still in disarray and has not been properly rectified. How could Your Majesty possibly manage the Wuyin Sword Sect? Those two people seem to have other purposes."
"Perhaps we can try to contact them." Zhao Li thought, "It doesn't matter what their purpose is, but they don't look like our enemies. And they happen to be sword cultivators, so we can ask them to deal with the sword energy."
"I'll try later..." Zhao Yaqing responded, "But they are Nascent Soul cultivators, it's hard to get along with them."
"If it weren't for Elder Zi Yi, why would it have come to this?!" Zhao Li said angrily, "His Majesty hasn't responded yet. I don't know what he's thinking."
The people in the room discussed for a while, but they still couldn't come up with the next specific move. They just said to wait for Emperor Xuan Qin's notice and let Zhao Yaqing contact the cultivators of the Infinite Sword Sect. If there was no result, they would try the black-robed man's suggestion...
After the meeting, Zhao Yaqing came out of the tent.
After eavesdropping on the meeting, Qin Ran vaguely understood the strange relationship between Zhao Yaqing and her protector. The protector was indeed the person who protected Zhao Yaqing, because in Emperor Xuan Qin's plan, Zhao Yaqing seemed to be a very important part.
“In this case…” Qin Ran knew what was going on. “Zhao Yaqing must also die.”
Zhao Yaqing didn't pay attention to Qin Ran and just walked forward. Qin Ran followed her smartly.
As he walked, he casually threw a peanut-sized pill on the ground. The pill melted as it touched the ground and disappeared into the air in an instant.
If Zhao Yaqing wants to be killed, Zhao Li must also die.
After throwing it, he followed Zhao Yaqing out of the tent.
But at this moment, a hoarse voice suddenly came from the tent behind him: "Who is poisoning?!!"
“Huh?” Qin Ran was stunned. He was discovered so quickly?!
