Chapter 234 What are you going to do?
"Master Dong, I have a request." Cui Baiming said in a powerful voice.
"Please speak, Mr. Cui." Dong Tianba bowed.
"Since the Hou family has broken the rules, starting from this battle, only one of the warring parties can leave alive!" Cui Baiming said with determination, his long silver hair flying back, looking indescribably powerful.
After saying that, Cui Baiming didn't wait for Dong Tianba to answer. He pointed the axe in his hand towards the Hou family and said, "Whoever has the guts, come up first!"
"Pu Jingyan, don't move. If you dare to move, I will be the next one to fight you to the death!" Jian Bailou looked at Pu Jingyan with eyes as sharp as swords.
Pu Jingyan's expression kept changing, but he finally sat back slowly.
Seeing Pu Jingyan sitting down again, the Hou family, the Wen family, and the people they invited, all dared not look directly at Cui Baiming.
Just kidding, even though Cui Baiming is already in his octogenarian years, if he really fights with all his might, not to mention them, even Pu Jingyan would be in danger of getting injured.
"Don't you dare? Then come on, Hou Yuehong! Aren't you very powerful? Does your Hou family have to intervene in the affairs of our Cui family and the Wen family? Come on now! I will not be as shameless as you. I will let you three moves first!" Seeing that no one from the Hou family and the Wen family dared to fight, Cui Baiming pointed the axe directly at Hou Yuehong and shouted sternly.
Hou Yuehong's face became extremely gloomy and ugly when facing Cui Baiming's challenge by name.
In the previous battle, it seemed that he had the upper hand all the time, forcing Qin Ziling to defend himself. But because of this, he consumed a lot of energy. Qin Ziling's subsequent knife attack was even more bizarre and actually hurt him.
Now, Hou Yuehong's combat power is only 30% or 40% at most. How dare he fight with Cui Baiming who is clearly determined to fight to the death?
Even in his heyday, Hou Yuehong would not dare to joke with his own life!
"No one of you dares to fight? Haha!" Cui Baiming laughed loudly when he saw this, and tears streamed down his face as he laughed.
He hates it!
A potential grandmaster!
Just because he wasn't resolute enough just now, it was ruined!
Seeing Cui Baiming laughing and suddenly burst into tears, Dong Tianba and others felt complicated.
They felt sorry for Qin Ziling and despised Hou Yuehong's behavior, but they were also somewhat fortunate.
After all, if Qin Ziling really wants to continue to develop, the four major families in Qinghe County may become dominated by the Cui family .
"Master Hou, Elder Hou, if you don't accept the challenge, you will lose this fight. From now on, you are not allowed to seek revenge on the Cui family and Qin Ziling for the divorce, dethronement and expulsion of Wen Hongfeng from the Cui family. Also, you need to pay 100,000 taels of gold, two lower-grade fourth-level bone-refining secret medicines, and two lower-grade Yuan-Transforming Pills. All your people in Luohuang County must withdraw, and all your properties there must be transferred to the Cui family." Dong Batian said.
Hou Yuehong and Hou Hanxue, Wen Chuansen's wife, changed their expressions several times, and finally gritted their teeth and said, "Okay!"
Since the Hou family and the Wen family admitted defeat, the next step was to transfer the gold, bone-refining secret medicine, Yuan-transforming pills, and their property contract certificates in Luohuang County to the Cui family on the spot under the notarization of everyone according to the agreement before the duel.
In this battle, it can be said that the Cui family won a great victory and reaped rich rewards, but Cui Baiming and Cui Shanhe did not show any joy at all. On the contrary, they both looked sad and remorseful, which made Qin Ziling, who was still dying, very nervous.
He didn't know whether Cui Baiming and Cui Shanhe, the grandfather and grandson, would beat him up when he returned and suddenly became full of energy.
Also, before leaving, the look Pu Jingyan gave him made Qin Ziling feel like he was being stared at by a poisonous snake.
After the transaction was completed, the Cui family returned home.
Guo Weijie and Ma Zhangbing saw that Cui Baiming and his grandson were obviously in a bad mood, and thought there was no point in staying, so they left halfway, using the excuse that they had things to do.
Before leaving, they visited Qin Ziling on purpose, comforted him, and gave him a healing pill, which was considered a favor.
"Zi Ling, Grandpa is sorry for you!" Inside the luxurious carriage, Cui Baiming held Qin Zi Ling's hand and said with a look of self-blame.
"It's okay, grandpa. My injuries are not as serious as you think." Qin Ziling said as he sat up, his vitality recovering rapidly .
"You..." Cui Baiming's eyes suddenly widened.
"I have no choice. If I perform too well, there will be many people who want to kill me. Now in this situation, everyone will only sympathize with me and blame the Hou and Wen families for being shameless. But I feel really bad for making my great grandfather and cousin sad!" Qin Ziling said.
"Good boy, no wonder you refused to compete with Shanhe that day. It turns out that you had already taken your great-grandfather and Shanhe into account!" Cui Baiming quickly understood and looked at Qin Ziling with a complicated expression.
"I have no choice, right? I definitely trust my great-grandfather's acting skills, but I'm still a little worried about my cousin, so I can only..." Qin Ziling flattered Cui Baiming calmly.
"Okay, stop saying nice things to me afterwards!" Cui Baiming glared at Qin Ziling, then quickly grinned, pinching Qin Ziling's body here and there, and occasionally said with a click of the tongue: "With the realm of the initial stage of bone refining, you actually defeated Wen Chuansen and Hou Yuehong in a row, and it was a half-real fight, how powerful are you!"
"Grandpa, it's not appropriate for you to be like this!" Qin Ziling said.
Upon hearing this, Cui Baiming glared at Qin Ziling, then his expression quickly changed to one of grief and self-blame, and he said, "Ziling, how am I going to tell your mother and grandfather about your injury when you go back?"
Qin Ziling gave Cui Baiming a thumbs up, then lay down again, with a hint of the breath of death lingering over his body again.
"Grandpa, my mother and grandpa don't have much cultivation, so you just need to say nice things to them and tell them that I will recover after recuperating for a period of time." Qin Ziling said weakly.
"Well, this is the only way." Cui Baiming sighed, his voice much louder than before.
Outside the carriage, Xiao Qing, who was riding a clouded leopard horse, looked towards the carriage from time to time with a very subtle look.
Just now when Qin Ziling was carried down, he had secretly winked at her. Xiao Qing already knew that Qin Ziling was just acting, but for some reason, looking at his bloody appearance, Xiao Qing couldn't help feeling heartbroken.
…
I don't know when, dark clouds covered the sun.
It started to rain.
The cold wind and rain were particularly biting.
People are hurrying on the street.
The convoy drove into Cui Mansion.
Soon the news of Cui Mansion's great victory spread, and the entire Cui Mansion was in an uproar and everyone was excited.
This news quickly spread throughout Qinghe County.
The Cui family became famous, while the Hou family's reputation was ruined, especially after Hou Yuehong's final actions were spread, they were even more despised. It was simply that the Hou family was too powerful and no one dared to ridicule them in public, but many people scolded them in private.
As for Qin Ziling, he naturally became the main figure in the topic, but because he had been identified as a genius who had just risen and fell, he only attracted waves of regret and sighs from people, but not many people deliberately remembered him.
Because a fallen genius is no longer a genius, no longer a strong man.
In this world, the ones people truly respect, remember and discuss are always the strong!
Moreover, Qin Ziling's previous information was almost blank to people outside, which left them with even less to discuss or remember.
This also meant that Qin Ziling was like a shooting star to the people of Qinghe County. After the dazzling moment, nothing was left except regret.
When the Cui Mansion was in an uproar and the outside world was talking about it.
There is a quiet courtyard and main house in the southwest of Cui Mansion.
There was a fire burning brightly in the room.
Everyone had been dismissed, leaving only Jian Bailou.
"You really acted well. If I hadn't known your strength long ago, I would have been fooled by you." Jian Bailou smiled as he watched Qin Ziling sit up from the bed easily.
"Teacher, same with you!" Qin Ziling said with a smile.
Jian Bailou was slightly stunned, then smiled bitterly and said, "Master, there is nothing I can do about this. In fact, I always do things in an open and honest manner."
"I understand, I understand." Qin Ziling nodded quickly, then changed the subject and said, "It is said that Pu Jingyan is the number one person under Qingsong in the Biyun Sect, and is the disciple of the Biyun Sect who has the greatest hope of entering the Fayuan realm. I wonder how his combat power compares to that of the teacher?"
"It will definitely not be a problem to defeat him, but it will be difficult to kill him, unless he wants to fight me to the death and refuses to run away!" Jian Bailou replied without thinking.
"That's no problem!" Qin Ziling's eyes lit up when he heard that.
"What are you going to do?" Even though Jian Bailou had been through countless storms, his heart skipped a beat and his hair stood on end when he heard the words.
"Hehe, didn't the teacher already guess it?" Qin Ziling asked instead of answering.
"No! Although I am confident that I can defeat him, if he is determined to escape, I will definitely not be able to stop him. Once this news leaks out, I estimate that the Biyun Sect will be able to openly attack the Jinjian Sect right away!" Jian Bailou lowered his voice when he saw that it was just as he expected.
"Teacher, you are not alone. Don't you still have me?" Qin Ziling said.
"If the two of us join forces, we do have a chance of killing him. But if we start a war with people as powerful as us, there will definitely be a lot of noise!" Jian Bailou said, stroking his white beard.
"Don't students still have these things?" Qin Ziling said as he took out the Ghost Gourd, the Nether Blood Soul Refining Banner, and the Nether Messenger's mask and clothes.
Seeing Qin Ziling taking out the Yousha Gourd and other things from the Netherworld Sect, Jian Bailou's eyes lit up slightly, and a hint of thought appeared on his face.
"It still won't work. Once masters of our level take action, this thing can only cover up for a moment at most. It's still too risky." But Jian Bailou soon shook his head.
