Subduing Troops Without Fighting

"Qin... Qin Jishi?"

The members of the Zhang family blinked hard, thinking they were seeing things.

He was clearly terrified, yet he dared to step forward?

But what use would it be even if he did? At best, it would only hasten his death.

Ugh!

After the initial shock, the onlookers from various factions broke into laughter.

"It seems we underestimated this good-for-nothing from the Zhang family. I didn't expect him to actually dare to step forward. Regardless, this action at least proves he's a man."

"So what if he's a man? I can imagine how miserable he'll be in a moment."

"You're right. Even Yang Kun and Zhao Tai couldn't stop this, so what makes him think he can?"

"..."

A mere mortal, let alone facing the Black Eagle Prefecture, even a single cultivator would mean certain death, without a ripple.

"Uncle Qin made his move." Yang Xuan's expression shifted. "Brother Zhao, just watch, the real show is about to begin."

"What do you mean?" Zhao Xiong asked, confused. "Brother Yang, what's Qin Jishi's background?"

"I don't know either!" Yang Xuan shook his head. "But I know he's not someone you can afford to offend."

This made Zhao Xiong even more perplexed. He had asked his father before, and Zhao Tai had only said that no matter what happened, if it involved Qin Jishi, the Zhao family would go all out to help, even at great cost.

What kind of background did he have? He wasn't even afraid of the Black Eagle Prefecture?

As Zhao Xiong was secretly wondering, a strong killing intent emanated from Liu Kai.

"Qin Jishi, I'll kill you." Seeing an enemy, their hatred intensifies, especially since his manhood was crippled by the other party. How could he endure this rage?

"Kai'er!" Liu Qiang reprimanded, lowering his voice. "Don't be impulsive. Qin Jishi's appearance now has clearly angered Elder Sun. Even if we don't act, Elder Sun will. Rest assured."

Sun Baitan intended to take Zhang Shiqing away. Would Qin Jishi dare to stop him and expect to be let off?

Let alone Liu Qiang, most people present could already imagine the fury Qin Jishi was about to face.

"Who are you?" Sun Baitan was clearly displeased, his sharp gaze fixed on him.

"Qin Jishi!"

"Qin Jishi?" Sun Baitan narrowed his eyes. "So you are the culprit."

"Good!"

"Very good!"

Clap clap clap!

Sun Baitan finally clapped his hands. "Qin Jishi... you truly are walking into a trap. Good, very good."

With just one glance, Sun Baitan could confirm that Qin Jishi was undoubtedly a mortal.

There was no fluctuation of Profound Energy from him. Dealing with him would be as easy as crushing an ant for Sun Baitan. If he weren't the main culprit, he wouldn't even be qualified to speak with him.

"Hold on!" Qin Jishi raised his hand. "I don't want to waste words with you. Before I get angry, kneel down, kowtow three times, and then get lost. Don't let me see you again."

Silence!

Almost the moment his words fell, the entire scene fell into dead silence.

They looked at Qin Jishi in disbelief, their eyes filled with dread.

Did he really want to die, daring to speak to Sun Baitan like that?

"Audacious!" The first to react was Eagle Three, glaring fiercely at Qin Jishi. "Apologize to Elder Sun immediately, or you will die."

Qin Jishi crossed his arms, his expressionless.

"You're courting death!" Such an attitude directly angered Eagle Three, who unleashed his killing intent without reservation.

Seeing this, the members of the Zhang family looked extremely grim, wishing they could devour Qin Jishi alive.

Damn it!

He was more of a hindrance than a help.

"Qin Jishi..." Tang Xiulan couldn't take it anymore. "Do you want to get our Zhang family killed?"

"..."

Despite everyone's pointing fingers, Qin Jishi remained the same, his expression unchanged.

At this moment, Zhang Shiqing walked back to him and chuckled softly. "Where's your stubbornness?"

Qin Jishi: "..."

Seeing Qin Jishi's flustered look, Zhang Shiqing smiled again. "You must have confidence in dealing with Sun Baitan. Let me see how strong you really are."

"Who said I was going to make a move?" Qin Jishi replied casually.

"Not making a move?" Zhang Shiqing frowned slightly.

"Haven't you heard of 'subduing the enemy without fighting'?" A smile played on Qin Jishi's lips.

Everyone's gaze remained fixed on Qin Jishi, and many in their hearts silently lamented that the Zhang family had truly found a good 'son-in-law'.

Sun Baitan's eye twitched, and his tone turned extremely cold. "What did you just say?"

"Deaf?"

Qin Jishi smiled. "I'll say it one last time. Before I get angry, kneel down, kowtow three times, and then get lost. As far away as possible."

Screech!

Unforgivable!

As an elder of the Black Eagle Prefecture, Sun Baitan was respected wherever he went. Now, a mere stripling dared to speak to him like this.

He had to die!

Otherwise, if this matter got out, where would he show his face? How could the entire Black Eagle Prefecture maintain its dignity?

"Eagle Three, kill him for me," Sun Baitan forced out stiffly. "Don't let him die too easily."

"Understood!" Eagle Three had already been on high alert, ready to act at any moment.

It's over!

The Zhang family turned ashen. They could imagine that after Qin Jishi died... if Sun Baitan's fury wasn't appeased, the entire Zhang family would be implicated.

In contrast, the Liu family was full of mockery, schadenfreude, and kicking them while they were down. The grievances they had suffered earlier were almost all vented at this moment.

"Kai'er, what did I tell you?" Liu Qiang said with a cold, grim smile.

"Father, I was impulsive earlier," Liu Kai said, staring ahead with a ferocious, hateful expression.

"Qin Jishi, daring to provoke Elder Sun, let's see if you die. After you die, I believe Elder Sun's anger will extend to the Zhang family. No one will escape then."

"..."

Almost everyone believed Qin Jishi was doomed to die.

Facing Eagle Three, who was charging at him, Qin Jishi's expression remained unchanged.

"Look quickly, the kid is scared stiff. Where's that arrogant attitude he had just now?"

"Hmph, facing a Level Five Earth Fiend expert, let alone him, anyone would be stunned."

"..."

Just as everyone thought Qin Jishi would be crushed into a pulp by Eagle Three.

Qin Jishi took a Sound Transmission Stone from his embrace. It emitted a glow. "Qingfeng, you already know the whole story. Let Pan Xu talk to them."

Saying that, Qin Jishi tossed the Sound Transmission Stone to Eagle Three. "Someone wants to talk to you."

Eagle Three instinctively caught the Sound Transmission Stone and said menacingly, "Kid, you're still putting on a show when death is at your doorstep. No one's plea will save you today."

"Is that so?" Qin Jishi asked with a half-smile. "Does Pan Xu also have no face?"

"Audacious..." Eagle Three's gaze was sharp as a hawk's. "You dare to speak the name of our Young Prefecture Lord directly. Unforgivable."

"Heh heh!" Qin Jishi chuckled and shook his head. "Whether he's unforgivable or not, the person on the other end of the Sound Transmission Stone will tell you."

Seeing Qin Jishi speak so calmly, Eagle Three hesitated and turned his head. Seeing Eagle Three's questioning gaze, Sun Baitan nodded slightly.

Qin Jishi's demeanor suggested he had someone behind him. He wanted to see who dared to disrespect the Black Eagle Prefecture.

Given the nod, Eagle Three slowly brought the Sound Transmission Stone to his ear, his tone filled with extreme contempt. "Who are you? To not even put our Black Eagle Prefecture in your eyes..."
