Chapter 172: Retreat

While everyone was talking, one of the guards ran over and said to Akichi, "Kaji, the head of the family is looking for you. ”

Qiu Chi nodded and said, "I'll be here right away." ”

"Aya, you take Gu Ling to my residence first, and I'll go and see what the head of the family is looking for me. Akichi instructed.

With that, Qiu Chi left with the guards.

After seeing the head of the Qin family, Qiu Chi opened his mouth and asked, "Family master, is there a clue?"

The head of the Qin family shook his head and said, "Not yet, but I will let people check it out." By the way, I came to you for another thing to say. ”

"My lord, please. ”

"You also know that the Nine Cities Alliance is about to start, and this is a once-in-a-decade competition. We have ten places in White Star City, but since Bai Yu of the White Star Sect and Gu Feihuai of the Ancient Mansion are unable to participate, our strength has been greatly weakened, and this burden may have to be carried by you. The Qin family master said earnestly.

Qiu Chi asked, "Does the family master want to win the championship in the Nine Cities Alliance?"

The head of the Qin family smiled bitterly: "I won't do the dream of winning the championship, the rules of the Nine Cities Alliance are different from the usual competitions, we have lost a few genius disciples, and it is almost difficult to win the championship." The old man just hopes that you can fight for the top three results. ”

"Why the top three?" Akichi wondered.

The head of the Qin family explained: "Because only the top three can get a huge reward, and they can also get the right to speak in the nine cities. ”

"Then in its current form, what is the strength ranking of the Nine Cities?"

"Weilong City ranks first among the nine cities, followed by Purple Shadow City, followed by Jiangyi City, Yanyun City, Qingxiang City, White Star City, Fu Scale City, Ye Ling City, and Yanhan City. ”

Qiu Chi was slightly surprised: "Ye Lingcheng is actually ranked last. ”

The head of the Qin family spoke: "This is the ranking of the last alliance, ten years have passed, it must be different, but unfortunately, the strength of our White Star City may still regress." ”

Qiu Chi asked, "When will the Nine Cities Alliance begin?"

The head of the Qin family replied, "Half a year later." ”

Qiu Chi thought for a moment and said, "There should still be time, I need to retreat and cultivate during this time, if anything happens, let Gu Hun come to me, he knows where I am." ”

The head of the Qin family was puzzled, "Aren't you in retreat in the clan?"

Qiu Chi shook his head and said, "No, I have other places. ”

"Well, then you have to be safe. ”

"Well, Aya's cultivation still needs to be bothered by the head of the family. ”

After that, the autumn pond bowed goodbye.

Qiu Chi first returned home, where Kaya and Gu Ling were talking about something, and when they saw Qiu Chi returning, they hurriedly got up to greet him.

Kaya said excitedly: "Brother, how did you become so powerful now?" Sister Ling'er told me about your fight against Gu Hao, and also made Gu Hun at the peak of the rank convince you. ”

Qiu Chi smiled slightly and said, "If you cultivate hard, he will definitely be able to surpass me one day." ”

Kaya stuck out her tongue and said ashamedly: "You don't even have a realm, you can reach this realm, but I am still in the purple realm." Brother, do you think I can transfer my realm to you?"

Qiu Chi rubbed Kaya's head and smiled, "You think about something weird every day. By the way, do you know the Nine Cities Alliance in half a year?"

Kaya nodded, "I know, the head of the family told me a long time ago, and asked me to reach the peak of the rank as soon as possible before this, only in this way can I stand out among the many geniuses in the Nine Cities." Brother, you're going to participate too, right?"

Akichi replied, "If nothing else, I can go." ”

"Great, if you participate, their geniuses will be in big trouble. Kaya laughed.

Gu Ling on the side smiled and asked, "Has the relationship between your brother and sister always been so good?"

Kaya admits without hesitation, "Yes, we grew up together, and my brother has always protected me. ”

Gu Ling's face was full of envy, and Qiu Chi Zhengse said: "Aya, I need to retreat and cultivate in the past half a year, you have to take care of yourself alone, do you know?"

"Where are you going for retreat?" Kaya wondered.

"Starspring Mountains. ”

"I want to go with you too. ”

"No, there aren't enough cultivation resources there, so it's better for you to stay in the family. ”

Kaya agreed: "Okay, you should also take care of yourself, but I believe that with Sister Ling'er's care, you will definitely not suffer, and you must also be kind to Sister Ling'er." ”

Qiu Chi asked, "Gu Ling, do you want to go up the mountain with me?" You can also stay here, and I will come back in half a year." ”

A red cloud appeared on Gu Ling's face, and she said, "Ling'er said that no matter where she goes, she is willing to follow her son all the time." ”

Qiu Chi thought for a while, although there were some strange beasts in the Xingquan Mountain Range, they were not enough to pose a threat to himself, the mansion was quite hidden, and Gu Ling was relatively safe with him, so he agreed: "Okay, do you need to prepare anything, we will leave later." ”

Kaya was surprised, "Why are you in such a hurry?

Qiu Chi suddenly remembered some people and said, "That's right, I should go look for them too." ”

Qiu Chi first came to the place where Qin Mo was confined and found Qin Mo.

Qin Mo was sitting there depressed at the moment, holding his chin with one hand and putting the other on his lap, when he heard a sound behind him, he thought that the head of the Qin family was going to let him out, so he hurriedly turned around to check.

Qiu Chi waved his hand and beckoned, "Brother Qin, I'll come to see you." ”

Qin Mo said with anticipation: "Did the head of the family let you let me out?"

Qiu Chi smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "No, I just came to see you." ”

Qin Mo suddenly sighed in frustration and said, "You go to plead with the head of the family, just say that I know it's wrong, let him let me go as soon as possible, I can't be a deserter in the family's war." ”

Qiu Chi comforted: "Brother Qin doesn't have to worry about it, the big battle is over." ”

"What?!The battle is over?!How is the battle?!How many people have we lost?Is there anything wrong with my father?" Qin Mo asked with a stunned expression.

Qiu Chi replied in turn, "We have won a great victory, there are no losses, the elders have only suffered minor injuries, and now they are fine. ”

As soon as Qin Mo heard this, he glanced at Qiu Chi and said, "Kaji, you are really not good at deceiving people, how can you make it up like this, this is too fake." ”

Qiu Chi was immediately embarrassed, but he could also understand that of course normal people would not believe such a bizarre thing, and in desperation, Qiu Chi had to swear: "I swear, we really won." ”

The expression on Qin Mo's face gradually froze, and he said with surprise and regret: "Really, we won, did the head of the family personally go into battle?"

Qiu Chi shook his head and said, "It's the person brought by Elder Qin Yunshang." After the successful night attack on the ancient mansion, Gu Hao was captured, and Gu Ao and Gu Ye were killed. ”

Qin Mo frowned, and said suspiciously: "The person my father brought, when did he have this ability, I can still believe you when you brought it." ”

Qiu Chi changed the subject and said, "By the way, I have other things to say to you. ”

"What?"

"Half a year later, it will be the Nine Cities Alliance, and I plan to retreat for half a year, and I have come to say goodbye to you. ”

Although Qin Mo was reluctant, he still pretended to be calm and said: "Alas, you are either missing or retreating, we are all used to it, haha." ”

Qiu Chi couldn't help but laugh out loud when Qin Mo made such a joke, thinking about it carefully, Qin Mo's words were not unreasonable, he did leave often, and the days he stayed in the Qin family honestly could probably be counted clearly.

Qin Mo spoke again: "Don't forget to tell the head of the family to let him let me out early." ”

Qiu Chi smiled: "Got it, say goodbye." ”

Qiu Chi came to the place where Qin Yuluo lived again, knocked on the door and said, "Senior Sister Yuluo, are you there?"

Qin Yuluo's voice came from the room: "I'm here, you come in." ”

Qiu Chi pushed the door in, only to see that Qin Yuluo's body was covered with a thin layer of frost, exuding a compelling cold air.

Qiu Chi said with concern: "Senior Sister Yuluo, what's wrong with you?"

Qin Yuluo said indifferently: "It's nothing, it's just cultivation." ”

Qiu Chi remembered something and asked, "Senior sister, is it convenient to ask about your cultivation?"

Qin Yuluo was puzzled, not knowing what Qiu Chi meant, but he still replied: "Rank mid realm, but it shouldn't be long before you can break through." ”

Qiu Chi frowned, only then did he realize the seriousness of the problem, and said, "Senior sister, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. ”

"It's okay, you say. ”

"You and Kaya are both geniuses of the Purple Realm, and it only took Kaya more than a year to reach the cultivation of the Strength Middle Realm, this ......"

A trace of helplessness and unwillingness flashed in Qin Yuluo's eyes, and he slowly spoke: "Yes, according to normal circumstances, I should have broken through to the peak of the rank earlier, but there seems to be a mysterious power in my body, every time I want to break through, it will appear, and then freeze my meridians and soul, desperately preventing me from breaking through." And as my cultivation has improved, this power has become more and more obvious, and I have tried to break through five times, but each time it has been in vain. ”

"Do you know what this is all about, when did this force come about?" asked Akichi.

Qin Yuluo shook his head slightly, and said with a sad smile: "I don't know, since I was born, this power has been haunting me, when I was twelve years old when I awakened the realm, this power suddenly rushed into my realm, and then the realm that should have been blue turned purple. Perhaps, this purple realm doesn't belong to me in the first place. ”

Qiu Chi fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he raised his head and said with a straight face: "Senior sister, I think that this power of yours should be your bloodline power, although it inhibits your cultivation, it must also bring you other benefits, such as the evolution of the realm, and also, have you found that your ice spirit is extremely pure, not like a normal ice spirit." ”

After listening to Qiu Chi's speculation, Qin Yuluo also began to think seriously about this problem, this force may not be his enemy.

"In short, it's best for you to find out what your bloodline is, so that it may help you better control this power, and not only will it not hinder you from breaking through, but it can also help you. Akichi comforted.

Qin Yuluo showed a rare smile and said, "I know, Kaji, thank you." ”
