"Asshole! How dare you plot against me!"
The long-haired man with a livid face glared at Qin Shu with gritted teeth.
Qin Shu, floating on the water, sneered and said, "If you don't kill me, I won't kill you either!"
The silver needle with a black tip was soaked in a deadly poison. This was one of the life-saving trump cards Qin Shu had left for herself.
The long-haired man quickly threw away the silver needle and glared at Qin Shu angrily: "You are asking for death! I will peel off your skin!"
The man easily picked up Qin Shu, who was floating on the water, and held her in his palm, pinching her fragile throat with his five fingers.
"Um--!"
Qin Shu let out a cry of pain, which was delicate but not coquettish, and had a hint of bewitching coldness.
The man's eyes were filled with cold murderous intent: "The Qin family deserves to die. Since you can break into the barrier, you must be a direct descendant of the Qin family. It is your blessing to die in my hands!"
Qin Shu lowered her eyes slightly, staring at the man's hands that were quickly dyed black by the poison, and said in a hoarse voice: "If you kill me, you won't survive!"
"Ha!" The long-haired man laughed grimly: "A mere little poison can't kill me!"
He pinched Qin Shu's throat with increasing force.
Qin Shu's expression became more and more painful, and her breathing became weaker and weaker.
Men enjoy the struggle, despair, pain, and miserable appearance of their prey before death.
Qin Shu would never accept her fate so easily. She stared at the man with cold and contemptuous eyes.
"Your eyes are disgusting, I should have dug them out first!"
The man raised his hand that was infected by the poison, hooked his index and middle fingers, and dug straight into Qin Shu's eyes.
“Ahhh!!!”
A shrill scream was heard.
The voice was not from Qin Shu, but from the long-haired man.
When the man was distracted, Qin Shu inserted a silver needle hidden between her fingers into the man's forehead.
The speed is so fast that people have no time to react.
The long-haired man felt so much pain that his whole body weakened, and his hand seemed to be electrocuted. He subconsciously threw Qin Shu to the ground, and covered her forehead with both hands, trying to force the silver needle out.
“Cough, cough, cough…” Qin Shu coughed rapidly, and looked at the man in pain with relief: “It’s useless. Even if you are a cultivator, as long as your clear and spiritual consciousness is destroyed, you will become as harmless as an ordinary person.”
Qin Shu stood up awkwardly, picked up a silver needle with a black tip on the ground, and approached the long-haired man step by step.
"Who are you? Why are you so hostile to the Qin family? What is the barrier?"
The silver needle was pressed against the man's fatal point, and Qin Shu's eyes were clear and cruel.
The situation turned around in an instant, Qin Shu took control of the situation and began to force a confession.
The long-haired man grinned and said sarcastically, "It seems that you know nothing! That's great. It's worth it to have the Qin family buried with me!"
He gathered the remaining spiritual power in his body in his palm and launched a sneak attack on Qin Shu's abdomen.
Qin Shu sensed something was wrong and dodged immediately.
Unfortunately, I was still affected.
She was blown away several meters, like a kite with a broken string, and fell to the ground in a mess.
"puff--!"
Qin Shu lay on the ground, blood mist spurted out of her mouth, and her face turned as pale as paper in an instant.
She looked up at the corpse not far away and smiled triumphantly.
Although she didn't get anything out of the question, she managed to save her own life and killed the man at the risk of her life.
At the moment of being attacked and dodging, Qin Shu threw the poison needle in her hand away without any hesitation.
“Cough cough cough!!!”
Qin Shu coughed violently a few times and spat out some blood.
She put her hands on the ground and tried to get up, but failed after several attempts.
"Fuck!" Qin Shu cursed in frustration.
She gave up completely and lay on the ground with her hands flat on the ground, looking at the layers of lava rocks.
Qin Shu knew clearly that with her current physical condition, she could not go back.
“Ahem—”
A weak, low cough sounded in the huge space, creating an ethereal echo and an eerie and terrifying atmosphere.
On the ground, by the creek bank.
Seeing that it was getting dark and Qin Shu had not come up yet, Qin Hairui became extremely anxious.
He turned around and went to the makeshift tent, where he found Lingxi who was having dinner.
"Ashu hasn't come up yet. It's been too long. You said before that she was in danger. What's going on?"
Lingxi put down the dry food in her hand and said bluntly: "Mrs. Xie should have encountered a rough fate in the past few years, but she escaped because she stayed with Emperor Star. Once she leaves Emperor Star, the crisis will surely come."
Qin Hairui's expression darkened: "I just want to know what kind of danger Ah Shu is in now, and what solutions there are!"
Lingxi shook her head: "I am not a god, I don't know the danger that Madam Xie is in, but there is a solution."
Qin Hairui asked anxiously: "What method?"
"Bring the Emperor Star here!"

Jing City, Imperial Palace.
In the brightly lit conference hall.
Xie Lanzhi convened a cabinet meeting overnight to put a perfect end to his upcoming resignation.
When the new prospective ruler, a member of the Jiang family, was speaking, Amuti, without even saying hello, opened the door and strode towards Xie Lanzhi who was sitting in the main seat.
He looked anxious, and his steps were quick and steady. Both his expression and behavior seemed extremely crazy to others.
After all, no one dared to barge into the conference room without saying hello.
Amuti walked to Xie Lanzhi's side, leaned over and whispered a few words.
Xie Lanzhi's eyes were gloomy and his breathing became heavier.
He suppressed the panic in his eyes, stood up and interrupted the Jiang family members who were speaking: "The meeting is suspended. I have something to announce next."
The huge conference hall fell into deathly silence.
Xie Lanzhi unbuttoned the two tightly fastened buttons on his shirt, which invisibly resolved a certain taboo, and his aura also changed.
His voice was deep and powerful: "Starting from tonight, I will officially withdraw from the cabinet and will no longer participate in any meetings. All official duties will be taken over by the next person in power."
After saying this, Xie Lanzhi turned around and strode away without waiting for anyone's response.
Amuti quickly followed and whispered something to Xie Lanzhi.
"Sister-in-law...something happened...seven hours ago...Master Lingxi...needs you to hurry up..."
People who were closer caught some of the words and immediately thought of Qin Shu.
The only person who could make Xie Lanzhi, who was able to plan and plan strategically without showing any emotion when faced with a huge crisis, lose his composure and dignity was the little wife whom he treated as a treasure and doted on in the palm of his hand.
It was a long time after Xie Lanzhi left that everyone in the huge conference hall came back to their senses.
They stared at the Jiang family members whose speech was interrupted.
The new person in power felt his scalp tingling and his expression turned unnatural when he was stared at.
After a while, the other party put his fist to his lips, coughed softly, and walked to Xie Lanzhi's seat and sat down.
"The meeting continues. Since the return of Macau, as the only legal casino in China, its annual total revenue has exceeded that of Las Vegas, the gambling city of the United States... Criminals have gathered in Macau, and several kidnappings of wealthy people have occurred, affecting the economic development of the inland areas..."
