Under Director Wang's fierce gaze, Li Zhanwu straightened his back, and spoke with a loud voice: "Director, I, Li Zhanwu, had long since put my life and death beyond consideration, I have never known what it means to be afraid, it's just that Sky Group has not formally taken shape yet, and is incapable of shouldering this responsibility, what if …." What Li Zhanwu was worried about was that the entire Martial Cultivator community would fall into chaos, and he would not be able to take responsibility for it.
"Don't worry, we are not asking you to do it right away. We will give you plenty of time." The old man replied calmly. He was actually calm, but Li Zhanwu couldn't calm down at all.
"Director, even if we have sufficient time, Sky Group's strength is still very weak. Currently, there are only five members, even including Qin Hao, there are only six." Li Zhanwu's principles were being practical and realistic, the current situation of the Sky Group was like this, he had to explain it clearly.
"Among the six, the other five are barely at the beginning of the path. They are still far from becoming experts. Even Qin Hao, the strongest of them, who was able to eliminate an entire stronghold of the Dragon Group by himself, he was still severely injured, and it was unknown whether he will be dead or alive. A stronghold of the Dragon Group is considered to be a powerful existence for an average force, but in comparison to the entire ancient martial sects, that stronghold is not even comparable to a second-rate sect. Even within the Dragon Group, this stronghold is not the strongest, so … "
Li Zhanwu did not finish his sentence, but the meaning behind his words was clear to Director Wang, which was that Qin Hao's attack on a mere stronghold of Dragon Group had caused him to be half-dead, facing the entire Martial Cultivation Sects, that was simply unimaginable. It could even be described as overestimating himself or striking an egg against a stone.
After the old man heard what Li Zhanwu had to say, he said with an indifferent expression, "Oh, Little Li, you always like to see problems before your eyes. Do you think we are not clear about what you just said? But we still have high expectations for Qin Hao, because when we look at one person, we should pay attention to his potential. Have you thought about how old Qin Hao is and how long he has been cultivating? His potential for growth is unimaginable. "
"On top of that, let's take a look at his combat achievements, he had wiped out six sects on the Indian Ocean, and now he single-handedly swept through the Western Mountains stronghold of the Dragon Group. Maybe the people in the stronghold were not worth mentioning, but the four of the Five Ghosts of the Elysium Sect were killed by him. A young talent with this kind of combat achievements, if he was given a year or more time, could you imagine what kind of terrifying level he would grow to? "
"Well...?" Li Zhanwu was speechless. Indeed, he could not see things as far-reaching as this old man in front of him could.
"Qin Hao is still young, so we have the time to spend three years to complete our plan. If three years are not enough, make it five, and if five years are not enough, make it ten. I don't believe that we can never subdue those arrogant and conceited ancient martial sects. "As he spoke this, the old man also had a fierce look.
"And what if those people refuse to surrender?" Li Zhanwu asked after a moment of silence.
"One word, kill!"
When the word "kill" came out, the benevolent expression on the amiable old man's face vanished, and his entire body released a strong killing intent. That killing intent was something that even Li Zhanwu, a general who had experienced life and death situations and seen the world, could not help but feel a chill in his heart.
"AHHH!"
Just as the two of them were discussing this, suddenly, a roar rang out in a room in the hospital. That roar was as loud as thunder, it even could be heard inside the reception room, which had a quite good soundproof, the people inside even saw the glass of the windows shaking with the sound of "pa, pa, pa."
"What's going on?" Director Wang and Li Zhanwu were both stunned.
"Director, I'll go out and take a look." Li Zhanwu stood up.
"Wait, let's go together." Director Wang also stood up.
Outside, Han Meng, the captain of the Eagle Force, led his men to guard the door faithfully. Even after the loud noise came from outside, they turned a deaf ear to it. They only had one mission: to protect the two of them inside, Director Wang and General Li.
"Han Meng, what's going on outside?" Li Zhanwu asked loudly when he opened the door.
"Sir, our mission is to protect both of you. It is very dangerous outside, sir, please …!" Before Han Meng could finish his words, he was interrupted by Li Zhanwu impatiently.
"Cut the crap. Let's go." While Li Zhanwu was speaking, he had already rushed out anxiously. Han Meng and the others hurriedly followed and protected him from both sides.
Just as they entered the corridor of the hospital, they saw Yu Lianshu and the others rushing over. Upon seeing Li Zhanwu, they immediately said anxiously: "Director, General, a bad thing just happened! Qin Hao suddenly shouted out loud and jumped out of bed, then he jumped out of the window."
"What? Jumped out of the window? This is the 12th floor." Li Zhanwu shouted loudly, "What about Ou Ba and the others, are they useless? Couldn't they even keep an eye on a sick person?"
"General, it happened too fast, and Qin Hao was too fast for everyone to react. Ou Ba and the rest had already gone downstairs to look for him, I hope that Qin Hao could be fine. " Yu Lianshu prayed.
"Let's go down as well." Li Zhanwu turned to Director Wang and said, "Director, please take some rest here, we will go down to take a look."
"Don't say so much, let's go together." Director Wang was also anxious. This was the twelfth floor, a half-dead patient jumped down from such a high place, how could he still live?
The group of people did not speak any further. They hurriedly escorted the two bosses to the elevator to go downstairs.
… ….
In a hotel near the First Hospital, Shi Bingying, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly shouted and sat up from the bed. She then quickly turned her head to look out the window. Just now in her dreams, she seemed to have heard a familiar voice shout. If it were someone else's voice, she wouldn't have cared at all. However, that voice was like an electric current that touched that nerve deep within her heart.
Whose voice was that?
"Qin Hao, Hao...!" Shi Bingying said his name, then quickly jumped off the bed and rushed to the window, pushing it open.
Outside the window, although the night sky of the city was still brightly lit, the distant place was still shrouded in darkness, making it impossible to see what was there, much less the person she wanted to see.
"Did I hear wrong, or did I miss him so much that I could hear his voice even in my dreams?" The girl looked out of the window into the distant darkness. She could not help thinking about it, and soon after, the image of that young and unruly face appeared in her mind.
"Hao, are you okay? Do you know I am missing you?" The young girl's fragrant lips opened as she muttered to herself. A tear fell from the corner of her eye. The missing heart was like invisible wings flying to the sky, flying to the distant place, looking for the person whom she missed.
"Duk Duk Duk." There was a knock on the door.
Someone was knocking on the door this late at night. Shi Bingying quickly wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, calmed her emotions, and turned to the door and asked: "Who is that?"
"Bing Ying, it's me."Master Yi Jing's voice came from outside.
When Shi Bingying heard that it was her own master, she hurriedly turned on the light, put on her clothes, and went up to open the door.
"Master, it's so late. How come you are still awake?" Shi Bingying asked as she opened the door.
Yi Jing smiled, "I couldn't sleep, so I came out to take a walk. When I heard your scream, I thought something happened, so I came in to take a look."
"Oh, I'm fine. Master, please come in and take a seat. "Shi Bingying invited Yi Jing into her room, and after closing the door, she poured Yi Jing a cup of water.
Yi Jing took a sip and looked up at Shi Bingying, a look of hesitation flashing past her eyes, but in the end, she seemed to have made a decision. "Bingying, I can see that you were not happy this whole time, I know that you don't like the Young Master of the Jinwu Sect. You already have someone in your heart, don't you? "
"Master, I … I don't. " Shi Bingying's face flushed from embarrassment.
Yi Jing smiled, and looked at Shi Bingying with her eyes full of love, she put down the cup and held Shi Bingying's soft hands: "Bingying, I am your master, I have watched you grow up, how can I not know what you are thinking?"
"I …" Shi Bingying's face became even redder as she shyly lowered her head.
"Child, I don't know who the person you love is, but since he is someone you love, I believe he is right for you. I hope that you will pursue the person you love, pursue your own happiness, do not wrong yourself. Looking at you sulking these days, I have a bad feeling. I hope that you can be happy and blissful. "Yi Jing's words were so touching that tears started to flash in Shi Bingying's eyes.
"Master, I wanted to go look for him, but …" Shi Bingying's face revealed a painful expression. She really could not harden her heart and put aside the more than three hundred lives of the Serenity House. She had seen the power of the half ancient martial sects in the past few days, and they could quickly destroy the entire Serenity House with just one expert.
Furthermore, she was afraid that if she went to Qin Hao, he would be implicated. She knew that Qin Hao was very strong, but in front of the Jinwu Sect, he was just a weakling. Let alone the other experts of the Spirit Stage, even the Young Master Jin Yang who was going to marry her was much stronger than Qin Hao. She did not want Qin Hao to be killed by the Jinwu Sect because of her.
However, what she could never expect was that it would ultimately still be because of her that Qin Hao and Jinwu Sect would engage in a bloody and frenzied battle.
"I know what you are worried about. We dare not to provoke the Jinwu Sect, but can't we hide from them? In the worst case, Serenity House can just seal the mountain and shut the sect. Even Jinwu Sect can't do anything about it by then." Seeing the burden on Shi Bingying's heart, Yi Jing tried her best to persuade her.
Shi Bingying knew that Yi Jing was doing this for the sake of her. In fact, Yi Jing herself clearly knew that sealing the mountain and shutting the sect was just a mentality of a fluke, with the strength of the Jinwu Sect, even if she sealed the mountain and closed the sect, she still might not be able to avoid their hunting. Shi Bingying was very clear about this point as well.
"Duk Duk Duk." Another knock on the door interrupted the conversation.
"Who is that?" The two people inside, especially Yi Jing, were startled by the knock on the door. If the people outside were from the Jinwu Sect and had heard the conversation inside, the consequences would be obvious.
"It's me, Jin Yang. Bingying, are you still awake?" the voice of the young master of the Jinwu Sect came from outside the door.
Talking about the devil and he came. The person outside was not only from Jinwu Sect, but also Jin Yang, the Young Master Jin who was going to marry Shi Bingying.
Yi Jing's heart thumped, her expression suddenly changed.
