News of the Stone Clan's strong return has long been spread to the Bray family, but they have not made any movement in the past few months. I don't know whether it is because they are concerned about the strength of the Shi family or for other reasons.
Now the entire Yunzhou is shocked by the current power of the Shi family. Regardless of the level of the Martial King, with more than a hundred military commanders, no one can underestimate it. The current power of the Shi family can also be regarded as first-rate in Yunzhou
.
Everyone seems to be waiting for the action of the Bray family, and of course there are many people who are looking for a good show. However, it is said that the Qin family, the largest family in Yunzhou, has started to interact with the Shi family, and it is Qin Kun, the eldest son of the Qin family.
Going there in person, the meaning of this is self-evident.
"Brother Shi Lei, haha, I told you that you would become famous in Yunzhou. I didn't expect that this day would come so quickly." Two years ago, Qin Kun returned to the Qin family from the Splitting Cloud Sect and began to take charge of some family businesses.
After hearing about the strong return of the Stone Clan, he discussed with the family elders and came to Qingyun County, intending to join forces with the Shi family to deal with the Bray family.
The five major families in Yunzhou, the Qin family, the Bray family, the Lin family, the Situ family, and the Ouyang family, have constant conflicts of interest with each other. In particular, the conflict between the Qin family and the Bray family has almost reached the point of rupture in recent years, and the strength of the two is almost the same.
, if you fight alone, both sides will definitely suffer, and others will be advantaged.
So when the astonishing power of the Shi family appeared, the Qin family's eyes lit up. If the Shi family could be brought over, it would definitely be a strong support. Moreover, Qin Kun and Shi Lei knew each other. Although there had been conflicts, they had been resolved, so
Let Qin Kun come and see the Shi family's attitude.
"Brother Qin can come to our Shi family, it's really brilliant. After five years of separation, Brother Qin is still so handsome and handsome." Shi Lei and Qin Kun exchanged greetings.
Qin Kun talked about some of the current situation of the Split Cloud Sect. After five years of development, the Split Cloud Sect has firmly become the first of the three holy places. Mr. Yuan can be regarded as fulfilling his master's wish.
While chatting, Qin Kun quietly shifted the topic to the issue of the Bray family. Since both parties had conflicts with the Bray family, there was a prerequisite for cooperation. However, what surprised Qin Kun was that Shi Lei refused.
, the reason is that the conditions offered by the Qin family are far from meeting the standards in Shi Lei's heart.
"Brother Shi Lei, I think with the strength of your family, you will not be willing to stay in Qingyun County for a long time. If you want to develop and grow, this is a good opportunity. Why did you refuse?" Qin Kun was a little unhappy.
Understand, Shi Lei is not the kind of person who likes to sit back and relax.
"Brother Qin, your wishful thinking is very good. Our Shi family will risk our lives to do it, but in the end we will gain the least. I can't agree to this, and neither will anyone in the Shi family." Shi Lei shook his head.
"Oh, so that's the question. Didn't I promise to give you sixty low-grade ghost weapons, ten medium-grade ghost weapons, five hundred star coins, and some elixirs in return? And our Qin family will also
Help your family resolve the crisis, right?" Qin Kun said.
In Star-Moon Continent, one diamond coin is equal to one hundred star coins, one star coin is equal to one hundred gold coins, one gold coin is equal to one hundred silver coins, one silver coin is equal to one hundred copper coins, and ten silver coins are enough for an ordinary person's yearly expenses.
So the Qin family's remuneration is pretty good, but Shi Lei seems a little dissatisfied.
"Brother Qin, with the strength of the Shi family now, I don't think the Bray family will be stupid enough to go to war with the Shi family for a prodigal son. At least they won't dare in a short time, so the crisis you mentioned about the Shi family does not exist.
, then how can you help resolve the issue?" Shi Lei squinted his eyes and looked at Qin Kun.
"Okay, let's open the skylight and speak openly. Brother Shi Lei, what do you think are the conditions?" Qin Kun asked.
"You and I will send half and half of the troops, and when the deal is done, I want half of the property of the Bray family." Shi Lei crossed his legs, waiting for Qin Kun's answer.
"What, half! Brother Shi Lei, you are so open-minded." Qin Kun's eyes widened, obviously he did not expect that Shi Lei was so demanding.
"Brother Qin, if you feel too embarrassed, don't force it. Now with the power of the Shi family, if we join forces with any of the five major families, I think the results will be amazing." Shi Lei said slowly.
"We can discuss this further. I can't decide on the conditions you mentioned. It must be decided jointly by the Council of Elders." Qin Kun's expression changed, and he understood what Shi Lei meant.
"Then I'll be waiting for news from Brother Qin, and I hope Brother Qin will prepare the blood oath contract next time he comes. It's not that I can't trust Brother Qin, but it's better to be careful in everything, what do you think?"
"That's natural, that's natural. I'll take my leave now." Qin Kun returned to his family with a dark face.
"Isn't the request a bit high?" Shi Tian and Shi Ye walked out of the room.
"It's not high, just half. If the Shi family wants to replace the Bray family and become the new first-class family in Yunzhou, the financial resources required are by no means a small amount, and half of the property of the Bray family should be about the same, I think." Shi Lei said with a smile,
"And agreeing to him too easily shows that our Shi family has no confidence. I think it won't be long before the Qin family will send someone."
…
With the completion of the secret room, the weapon refining workshop, and the alchemy room, the Shi family fell into hard training again, and the level was no worse than in the mist forest.
There were only three pills left in the golden bottle after they came out of the mist forest. In order to repay Guan Yunshan's kindness, one was given to him as a gift. Now there are two pills left. Since Yao Heng and the third elder studied out that most of the elixir ingredients are in
It cannot be found on land, so if you eat one, you will lose one.
But the elixir in the silver bottle has been replaced by an elixir. After being successfully refined, the effect will be worse, but it is still much better than nothing.
The medicine in the white bottle has been thoroughly studied and the refining effect is not satisfactory.
Shi Yun is very crazy about elixir refining. He often doesn't sleep for several days just to study the ingredients of the elixir and what needs to be paid attention to when refining. However, the progress is indeed very fast. Now he can refine the elixir in the white bottle alone.
.
Just when Qingyun County gradually began to return to calm, a shocking news suddenly came: the Shen family's family protection formation was lifted, but no living person was found in the Shen family compound.
Shi Lei and Shi Feng rushed to Shen's house as soon as possible. When they walked in the door, they felt a cold wind that made people feel uncomfortable, and the yard was filled with a disgusting stench of blood.
"Where did the Shen family go?" Xiao Meng searched the rooms, only to find that they were all empty.
"Dead." Shi Lei said in a deep voice.
"What, dead?" Even Shi Han, who had been cold and silent, couldn't help asking in surprise.
"Look carefully at the ground. You can see some blood stains everywhere in the yard. It's just because it's been a long time, so it's not easy to see. Call the people hiding near Shen's house." Shi Lei gently twisted the blood stains in the yard.
Earthy, with a faint smell of blood.
Xiao Meng then called the members of the fifth team over. Ever since the Shi family settled down, the fifth team has been observing the movements of the Shen family outside.
"When did you find out that the restrictions on the Shen family were gone, and did anything special happen at that time?" Shi Lei glanced at them.
"I discovered it two quarters of an hour ago, and immediately notified the captain. But at that time, I seemed to see the black clouds above the Shen family flashing for a few times, and then disappeared. Others did not find anything suspicious," one of them said
.
Shi Lei frowned. He was able to disappear quietly under the eyes of twelve military commanders. His strength was definitely extraordinary. He asked them to look around to see if there was anything suspicious.
Shi Lei and Shi Feng walked towards the bloody cave. They always felt that the place was too weird and there must be some secret.
"Ah, there are so many corpses here!" Shi Lei and the two of them had not left for long when they suddenly heard Xiao Meng shouting.
"Huh? How could it be here?" The two arrived instantly, and Shi Lei realized that this was the room he had been to five years ago, and that there was a dark hole under the bed.
When he opened the door, he found dozens of corpses in the room, and it seemed that they all died after being drained of their essence and blood, but the time did not last long, no more than three months.
However, the bodies of Shen Ji, Shen Wei and Shen Ji were not found. Maybe they were not dead, and Shi Lei overheard their conversation five years ago. The Shen family is by no means simple, because they are probably also a non-human race.
"Let's go to another place." Shi Lei glanced at it and walked towards the cave with the people who came after hearing the sound.
Approaching the entrance of the cave, a very strong restriction was discovered, but now with Shi Lei's strength, it didn't take long to open it.
As the restriction was lifted and the stone door was opened, a strong smell of blood poured out from the cave, and several people actually vomited directly.
Shi Lei held his breath and walked slowly in. He found that it was as big as three rooms, without any windows, and there were two pairs of heavy special chains on the wall. Judging from the flesh and blood on them, they should be used to lock someone for a long time.
of.
There were some human remains scattered on the ground, as well as some rotting flesh and blood. Judging from the blood on the ground, it seemed that someone had spilled blood here before the Shen family's clan protection formation was lifted.
"It's so cold here." Even Xiao Meng, who is at the level of a military commander, can't help but shiver a little, not from the cold outside, but from the trembling in his soul.
"There will be no less than 300 undead here. It is normal for the ghosts to be thick and cold." Shi Lei completely radiated his consciousness and found that the area 20 centimeters below the surface of the soil was stained with blood.
"What? More than three hundred people! Xiao Lei, you won't scare me." Xiao Meng stepped back, but he knew that Shi Lei would not lie to him.
"There must be something weird about this Shen family. It should have been here a hundred years ago, and it seems that someone was imprisoned, or monsters are more appropriate. If I guessed correctly, the Shen family used the Shen family to make food for monsters.
." Shi Lei said something that made people's hair stand on end.
"It's really cruel to use people as food!" Shi Feng was a little angry.
"Look, there seems to be something on the wall." Shi Han, who had been observing the wall, suddenly said.
