CHAPTER 282: CHAPTER 282: QIN XIAOZHU’S TRUMP CARD

The Beast God’s Heart is about to emerge!

Seeing this commotion, within the Holy Institute, some families were joyful while others worried, but of course, the joyful ones were the minority.

Most people were concerned.

Because many could already be certain that the descendants of the ten kings arrived at the Holy Institute to take away the Beast God’s Heart!

Perhaps after this, the Holy Institute would no longer have the Beast God’s Heart, and whether these disciples would continue to stay was uncertain.

If things went wrong, the Holy Institute might even disband!

"Sigh, the Great Dao is pursued for the public good, but unfortunately... everyone has their selfish intents."

"The Beast God’s Heart was originally brought out from the Forbidden Divine Mountain by the ten kings and has been used by the Beast Race for so many years; it’s already been generous."

"Sigh, it’s all fate."

Deep within the Holy Institute, the upper echelon sighed one after another, feeling a myriad of emotions and a bit of wistfulness.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

At this moment, figures soared into the sky like torches, flying towards the luminescent small world.

"The last time!"

"I must get as close as possible to the Beast God’s Heart, bask in more light, and complete the transformation!"

"Even a menial servant has dreams; this time, I, Huang Shijie, will soar high and rise, showing it to you all!"

And Qin Zi was among them.

Jin Zhu and Princess Bai Lu flew side by side, and he followed behind, looking at the noble figure ahead, feeling a bit conflicted.

To be precise, he felt somewhat guilty.

During the half year at the Holy Institute, Princess Bai Lu took good care of him, with various precious resources and opportunities personally fought for by her on his behalf, treating him as one of her own.

A few days ago, Princess Bai Lu also asked him for help to seize the Beast God’s Heart, a task given to her by her father.

She even secretly told him it was an agreement between her and her father; as long as she completed it, her father would allow her to be with Jin Zhu.

He couldn’t refuse at the time and agreed.

However, he knew all along that he couldn’t help her and might even compete with her for the Beast God’s Heart.

Because he needed to save his father!

This was something he must do, and no one could stop him; whoever tried to stop him would be his enemy!!

"Junior Brother Qin, although you have broken through to a six-tribulation Emperor, your cultivation is still the lowest among us. If the battle gets intense and casualties occur later, leave first and don’t worry about us."

At this point, Princess Bai Lu said.

"Ah?"

Qin Zi suddenly regained his senses and then nodded awkwardly, "Uh, okay, alright."

"Junior Brother Qin, do you have something on your mind?"

Jin Zhu glanced back at Qin Zi and frowned as he asked.

He hadn’t read books or received much education and often lost arguments, but he was sensitive to people’s emotional fluctuations.

"Hmm, kind of."

Qin Zi knew that Senior Brother Jin had strong perception, so he didn’t deny it and said, "I have been separated from my father for almost a year and don’t know how he is doing, whether he is safe and happy."

Jin Zhu remained silent upon hearing this.

He had no parents and couldn’t empathize with Qin Zi, but he still decided to offer comfort.

Thinking for a moment, he said, "Junior Brother Qin, actually, you don’t have to worry about Elder Qin. I once heard something... you shouldn’t worry about whether your dad is happy or not; you can’t imagine a father’s happiness."

Qin Zi’s eyes widened!

He suddenly looked at Jin Zhu in disbelief and asked, "Senior Brother Jin, where did you hear that?"

"I don’t remember."

Jin Zhu shook his head and replied.

Seeing that he didn’t seem to be lying, Qin Zi didn’t doubt him, but the dilemma in his heart eased significantly.

At this time, Princess Bai Lu said:

"After we acquire the Beast God’s Heart, come back with us to the White Crane Celestial Palace, and I’ll have my father mobilize his forces to help find your father."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

Qin Zi said with a complex expression.

"I told you, we aren’t there yet; don’t call me that, it will affect my reputation."

Princess Bai Lu pretended to be shy.

"Isn’t it just a matter of time?"

Qin Zi said, then looked at Jin Zhu, who was flying silently as if he didn’t hear anything.

Princess Bai Lu chuckled and didn’t speak further,

soon, everyone arrived at the luminescent small world and entered without any pause.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud...

Figures collided with the surface of the small world, stirring up ripples of light and shadow, looking like a massive meteor striking the atmosphere, or like countless raindrops hitting a calm lake, creating a magnificent scene.

"Ploop!"

Qin Zi felt like he penetrated a thin membrane and immediately entered a warm and humid world.

This was a vibrant world.

The mountains and rivers were grand, and the trees and vines were enormous, some of them twined together, looking like mountains standing tall.

The animals here were also astonishingly large, even ants were as big as calves, moving in swarms, forming dark masses.

But what drew the most attention.

Was the immense mountain at the center of the world and the golden heart hovering atop it.

It resembled a rising sun, releasing light and energy indiscriminately to the world, seemingly never extinguishing.

"How huge!"

Qin Zi took a deep breath, thinking it looked so big from afar; how big would it be up close?

Would it... be too large to carry away?

"What we see now is just the projection of the mountain and the Beast God’s Heart; they’re not actually that large."

Princess Bai Lu smiled seeing Qin Zi’s reaction and explained.

Qin Zi sighed in relief.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

At that moment, the sky resounded with tremors again, as figures swarmed towards the direction of the Beast God’s Heart like schools of fish, while it seemed invisible barriers appeared in the sky.

Thus, as people passed through these, the barriers emitted tremors, and even wave ripples spread out.

"Ah, what’s happening!"

"I can’t get in!"

"A little deeper, just a little deeper!"

"How could this be? Last time I penetrated within a hundred miles of the Beast God Mountain; this time I’m blocked at eight hundred miles out?!"

"Ah? Eight hundred miles away, I brought my weapon..."

In the sky, many reluctant cries echoed; without thinking, it must be that group of menial servants.

Princess Bai Lu’s expression grew serious, and she whispered, "It looks like those seniors have taken action."

"What?"

Jin Zhu asked in confusion.

"It’s the other five kings who have strengthened the protective force around the Beast God’s Heart."

Princess Bai Lu said in a solemn voice:

"Of our Beast Race’s ten kings, not all agree to take away the Beast God’s Heart. My father, Illusion Butterfly, Jing Hong, Qiong Qi, Kui Ox, our fathers want to take it, but the other five kings insist that the Beast God’s Heart should remain at the Holy Institute."

"Thus, the ten kings agreed that we five younglings would compete for the Beast God’s Heart, and whoever gets it is its owner. But the other five kings will increase the difficulty of obtaining the heart to a certain extent. If none of us succeed, it will stay at the Holy Institute."

Upon hearing this, Qin Zi’s mouth twitched.

The action of the five kings changed what was originally ordinary difficulty to a hellish level, deliberately making things difficult for him, Qin Xiaozhu?

"It’s alright, we will do our best."

Princess Bai Lu consoled briefly, then narrowed her eyes and whispered, "Besides... I have a trump card!"

Qin Zi felt even more pressure.

But he took a deep breath and calmed down again. In terms of trump cards, if he fully unleashed, he wouldn’t be weaker than others!

Using the trump card might expose his identity.

But that’s okay!

After all, he had the super Teleportation Talisman given by his father, ready to flee after getting the Beast God’s Heart, even the Martial Emperor wouldn’t catch him!
