After Yanli calmed down, she put on her clothes again and returned to Qingyin Cave. But what she didn't expect was that there was another uninvited guest in the cave - a strange man with four arms and a hat on his head.

The person who came was none other than the swallowing sky!

Looking at Yin Hong again, he was sitting cross-legged on the stone bed, his eyes closed and sweating profusely, while Swallow Heaven was holding Yin Hong's heavenly spirit with one hand, not knowing what his intention was.

"Who are you, let go of Your Highness!" Yan Li saw that this person looked so strange, and his mind must not be a good person, so he immediately slapped his palms and sacrificed a ball of samadhi true fire and flew towards the sky. Who knew that the fire disappeared before it reached the front of him.

"Where did the little girl come from?" Swallowing Heaven raised his hand, and an invisible force pushed Yan Li against the wall, like a prey firmly trapped by a spider's web, and his life was only in the blink of an eye.

As if awakened from a dream, Yin Hong suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Don't hurt her!"

Swallowing Heaven snorted coldly, and said in a tone like a lesson: "Not long ago, you wanted to activate the Divine Walking Bead, when you touch it, what you think in your heart will be known, and I will rush to save you, otherwise it will be difficult to suppress the master's half of the power with your own strength." But I didn't expect that your so-called revenge was a waste of time with this little girl, so I'll kill her now. As he spoke, the strength of Swallowing Heaven's hand increased a little, and Yan Li immediately groaned in pain, as if the bones in his body were about to be crushed.

"You!" Yin Hong just wanted to attack, but he immediately realized that he was very weak now, and he was still using the power of Heaven Swallowing to suppress the evil force that was wandering around, and he had absolutely no way to stop Heaven Swallowing at the moment. He softened his tone and said, "Wait. She has guarded the mausoleum for my Great Shang Kingdom for 800 years, and if it weren't for her, I might have died. Other than that, I have nothing to do with her. ”

Swallowing Heaven said disdainfully: "What do those bird things in the Great Shang Kingdom have to do with me? You should have broken off with the emotions of mortals a long time ago, you now belong to the Evil Emperor, don't forget your mission! Let me help you." As he spoke, he moved his fingers, ready to take Yan Li's life.

"You dare!" Yin Hong immediately shook his whole body, shaking the whole person who swallowed the sky away. Swallowing Heaven couldn't help but take two steps back, and said angrily: "You don't want to die, I'm helping you suppress the evil power, and you actually shot at me for a girl?"

Although Yan Li, who was fixed on the stone wall at this moment, was in pain, his heart was warm: "He is for me...... He didn't care about his life......'

Yin Hong turned around, his eyes revealed murderous intent, and said word by word: "She is my person, it is not your turn to decide her life and death! I Yin Hong don't need you to save her, get out!"

Swallowing Heaven was furious, and was about to teach him a lesson, when suddenly his heart moved: "No! In any case, to save the Evil Emperor, you still need the strength of this kid, everything is not as important as the Evil Emperor!" He struggled for a moment, suppressed his anger, gritted his teeth, and said: "Good boy!

As soon as Swallowing Heaven left, Yan Li, who was fixed on the stone wall, fell limp and fell to the ground. Yin Hong stepped forward and picked up Yan Li and put him on the stone bed, while he sat cross-legged and immediately recovered his state of luck. Swallowing Heaven interrupted to help, and Yin Hong could only rely on his own strength to balance the surging evil power, which was by no means an easy task.

Yan Li opened his eyes and looked at Yin Hong on the side, and secretly said to himself in his heart: Thank you.

In the following three months, Yan Li picked some fairy roots and stalactites from the fairy lake in the mountains every day to help Yin Hong recover his body. Yin Hong was no longer as cold as before towards Yanli, but gradually talked more to her, and the relationship between the two gradually became delicate.

De Yanli took care of it, Yin Hong had no distractions, and concentrated on fusing the evil emperor's mana. However, after coming and going, Yin Hong actually had feelings for Yan Li, which caused him great trouble. After all, Yin Hong did not behead three corpses, and naturally he still had the feelings of mortals, which was not surprising. Even in a trance, he was a little envious of the two immortals, Zizhu Immortal and Lingxi, but he deeply understood in his heart that his life no longer belonged to him, and all this could only be delusional. What's more, he still wants revenge, he must let the surging fire of anger in his heart continue to burn, and he must not indulge in this gentle country.

So, he made a decision.

In the early morning of this day, the sun rose in the east. Yan Li went to the fairy lake to pick some fairy lotus roots as before, and returned to Qingyin Cave after filling a full bamboo basket. "Your Highness, I picked a particularly large lotus root today, come and see it!" Yan Li happily shouted at the cave with a white jade-like lotus root, but there was no response for a long time.

Yan had a hint of foreboding, and walked quickly into the cave, only to see that the cave was empty, and Yin Hong had long since disappeared. 'Your Highness...... He wasn't there?' She couldn't believe that Yin Hong had just said goodbye like this, and looked around, hoping to find Yin Hong's handwriting on the stone table or on the stone wall, but there was nothing.

"Impossible! Can't!" Yan Li turned his head and rushed out of the cave, shouting loudly: "Your Highness!

A flock of birds arose in the forest, and only the leaves rustled, but no one responded.

'Looks like he's really saying goodbye......

Yan Li stared into the distance with her eyes blankly and the unspeakable disappointment in her heart, although she was worried before, afraid that she really liked Yin Hong, but when she lost it, she found that this sense of loss was far greater than those fears.

"Now that I know all the sorrows, I want to talk about it...... "At this moment, Yan was cold, looking at the fallen leaves in the sky and muttering softly, and returned to the Qingyin Cave with a gloomy expression.

......

And Yin Hong had left Qiu Mingshan alone and walked through the clouds. He looked back behind him and said to himself, "Yanli, forgive me for saying goodbye." My path is destined to go down alone, and you should leave......"

Yin Hong left Yanli, not only because he didn't want to let himself lose his will for revenge, but also because he still had an important thing to do. I saw that he went straight down to the Nine Heavens, went to the human realm below, and came to the Central Plains.

He stopped, the purple ribbon fairy clothes moved with the wind, Yin Hong's eyes fell on the vast earth, and said silently: "Since I am back, it means that the luck of the Great Zhou should also end!"

It is said that the land of the Central Plains is in the year of the Great Weekend at this time, and the position of Zhou Tianzi passed to Ji Yan, the king of Zhou, and it was already a candle in the wind, swaying. It is only because of the juxtaposition of the seven kingdoms of Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, and Qin that the princes no longer respect the king, but each dominates, and Zhou Tianzi has long existed in name only, just an ornament. And among the seven heroes, the three major vassal states of Qin, Chu, and Zhao are the strongest, and a great drama of competing for the hegemony of the world and changing the dynasty seems to have entered the final climax. However, there is one person who now wants to push the crumbling high-rise of Da Zhou again, and let it quickly move towards the end of the world!

Xianyang City • Qin King's Palace

An old man over the age of sixteen was sitting alone in the palace of the palace and reading the recitals. Through the not-so-bright candle flame, it was vaguely seen that the monarch of the Qin State was already dying, and the hand holding the bamboo slip was trembling uncontrollably, as if he could feel that his life was flowing from his fingertips.

This old man is none other than the monarch of Great Qin, King Yingji of Qin Zhao.

"Alas!" he sighed heavily, put down the bamboo slip, and gently put his fingers on a sheepskin map in front of him, groping for it, while muttering to himself: "Time is running out, it's a pity that I can't see the day when Daqin will rule the world!"

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew from outside the temple, causing the candle flame to flicker a few times. A voice sounded faintly from the corner of the main hall: "King of Qin, do you really want to realize your ambition to dominate the world?"

King Qin Zhao raised his head and looked, only to see a figure standing in the corner of the main hall, he couldn't tell the difference, and couldn't help asking, "Who? Who is there?" As he spoke, his hand like a dead tree unconsciously pressed on the sword beside him. He was a little puzzled in his heart, there were obviously forbidden guards outside the main hall, how did this person get in?

"Are you an assassin of the Zhao Kingdom?" asked King Qin Zhao. He knew in his heart that four years ago, there was a great war between Qin and Zhao in the human world, the 'Battle of Changping', in which 400,000 Zhao troops were killed by the Qin army, which can be described as tragic. If there is anyone in this world who hates King Qin the most, there is no doubt that it must be a native of Zhao.

"You haven't answered my question yet. The man said quietly.

King Zhao was silent for a moment, and sighed with a little sadness: "I have been working hard for the Qin State all my life, in order to dominate the world and end the troubled times! I ask myself is also a great strategy, and I have successively waved my army to defeat the Six Kingdoms, when will Nai not be with me, my life is approaching, I am afraid that I will not see that day! Ambition is hard to pay! Die early and die later, there is no difference, if you are an assassin, do it." He removed his hand from his sword, ready to die.

But that person didn't move, just sneered, and then said something that King Qin Zhao couldn't believe: "If you can do one thing for me, I can help your descendants fulfill your last wish and let Great Qin rule the world." How?"

"Hahahaha!" King Qin Zhao let out a burst of old laughter, and then coughed violently, as if he had heard a big joke. He shook his head at first, then stood up abruptly, and rebuked angrily: "If you want to kill, why are you teasing me?"

The man walked out of the dark corner of the hall unhurriedly, revealing his true face. The person who came was none other than Yin Hong.

"You?" King Qin Zhao couldn't help but be stunned, and said to himself, "It's a Taoist, why did you come here?"

Yin Hong walked three feet in front of King Qin Zhao with his hands behind his back, and said quietly: "King Qin, do you think I'm joking with you?" He stomped his foot slightly, and the entire Xianyang Palace immediately shook, as if an earthquake had occurred.

King Qin Zhao in front of him was unsteady on his feet, and he fell on the table with an 'oops', and the shaking lasted for a few seconds before stopping, and everything quickly returned to calm. King Qin Zhao gasped for breath, raised his eyes to look at the young Taoist in purple robe in front of him, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Who are you sacred?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is whether you agree to my conditions?" Yin Hong said, pointing his hand, an invisible force wrapped around King Qin Zhao's body, lifting him up, more than a foot above the ground.

King Qin Zhao floated in the air, unable to reach the sky or the ground, and was shocked, so he only asked: "The immortal chief has amazing powers, I don't know what to do with old decay?"

Yin Hong stared at King Qin Zhao's eyes and said word by word: "It's very simple. I want you to destroy the Great Zhou immediately! Destroy its temple and take its Jiuding!"

"What?" King Qin Zhao's face trembled, and he couldn't help but say, "This...... Although the king of Zhou exists in name only, he is still nominally the co-lord of the world, and although the world has been fighting for hegemony for more than hundreds of years, no one dares to abolish the king of Zhou.

Yin Hong said quietly: "I have already seen, among the Seven Kingdoms, only you Qin have the heart of a tiger and a wolf and the ambition to swallow the world, this world will belong to your Qin State sooner or later, and the others are just dry bones in the grave, how can I talk to them more." The Great Zhou Qi is about to run out, and even if you don't do it, someone else will do it. There is a saying in the Central Plains since ancient times: one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers. If the Qin State wants to rise to replace the Zhou State, how can you allow the King of Zhou to continue to exist? According to my words, you are the founder of the Qin State, and your descendants will also respect it from generation to generation. It's a good deal!"

Why didn't Yin Hong choose the other six countries but the Qin state? There is a reason for this. It is only because the ancestral tribes of the Qin State were their vassals as early as the Yin Shang Dynasty, and they were highly valued by the Shang Dynasty. Later, because some of the Ying clan participated in the 'Three Uncles Rebellion' in the early years of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they were punished by Ji Dan, the Duke of Zhou, so that the Qin people living in the east were forced to move west, and the Ying clan became commoners. In this way, the Qin people were vassals of the Great Shang, and they also rebelled against the Great Zhou after the death of the Shang, so in Yin Hong's view, the Qin State was really the most suitable choice.
