Fantasy: Ten Dragons Compete for the Throne, I, the Villain, Choose to Play it Off

Chapter 33 Qin Linglong is attacked; is there a spy in the army?
"Brother Qiye is right."

Li Yueyao smiled and nodded.

Just then, dark clouds gathered, thunder rumbled, and a heavy rain began to fall.

Li Qiye and Li Yueyao also returned to the house.

"I haven't seen such heavy rain in many years," Li Qiye said with a smile.

"That's right, it has been many years indeed."

Li Yueyao fell into deep thought and said, "It's probably been five or six years."

Memories from before the age of sixteen only occupy a small part of her long life spanning tens of thousands of years, so she has to go through the process of recalling them each time.

"Your Highness Qiye, I forgot to tell you that my cultivation has improved a lot since I came here. Maybe I will surpass you when I return in triumph."

"Just wait for my triumphant return."

The image of the talisman continued, and Qin Linglong's illusory figure waved her hand before bidding farewell.

"Cousin, don't you need to reply to him?"

Li Yueyao looked at Li Qiye and asked with a smile.

"No need. Replying would only upset him."

Li Qiye laughed.

Far away on the frontier.

A figure clad in silver armor wielded a silver spear, piercing the enemy's body with a single thrust before pulling it out. The enemy collapsed to the ground.

When the last enemy falls, it signifies victory in this battle.

Looking around, the ground was littered with corpses for miles around.

But suddenly, a deep, cold light appeared, moving with lightning speed, and arrived in front of her in an instant.

An incredibly ferocious face appeared, magnified in Qin Linglong's eyes.

Qin Linglong's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Impossible, how is this possible!"

Qin Linglong found it hard to believe.

The person who just collapsed, she had already pierced their heart.

But the other party was not dead, and even burst forth with such speed that he arrived in front of her in the blink of an eye.

Click!
The protective magic item on Qin Linglong's body shattered instantly.

"The enemy has an offensive magic weapon?!"

"No, he's not an ordinary Purple Mansion Realm cultivator, he's actually a half-step Enlightenment Realm cultivator..."

Qin Linglong immediately realized that the stabbing of her was premeditated, intended to make her careless and then kill her in one blow.

Once Qin Linglong dies, no matter how powerful Qin Rentu is, his mindset will waver.

But how was the fact that she was the granddaughter of the Qin butcher exposed?

"There's a spy!"

These thoughts flashed through Qin Linglong's mind.

With nowhere to hide, she could only barely pick up the spear in her hand, trying to block the chilling light.

But it was all too late. The other party disguised himself as an ordinary sixth-realm Purple Mansion cultivator, pretending to be stabbed to death by her, just to make her lower her guard and then unleash this fatal blow!
That's a brilliant plan!

Am I about to die?

At this moment, Qin Linglong thought of her grandfather, parents, brother, and the lazy Prince Qiye.

Her face was full of bitterness and resentment.

She gritted her teeth, her gaze unwavering, and with no more resistance, threw the silver spear at the other man's head.

"Let's die together!"

Just then, an extremely ancient halberd appeared, blocking her path and steadily deflecting the chilling light.

He then swung the halberd fiercely, a deafening roar erupting as a powerful shockwave, like a volcanic eruption, sent the figure who had risen from the dead and launched a sneak attack flying, exploding in mid-air. "You were careless!"

The newcomer, dressed in crimson armor, stood beside Qin Linglong.

This person is none other than the Goddess of War!
Her tone was extremely indifferent, her eyes gazing into the distance as she calmly said, "On the battlefield, one must never let one's guard down, or one may very well lose one's life."

Hearing this, Qin Linglong nodded heavily and said, "I understand. I will never make the same mistake again."

Just a moment ago, she felt she was going to die.

Many thoughts flashed through her mind; she was extremely reluctant to leave her family.

At the same time, I wondered if Li Qiye would be sad if she died.

Even now, Qin Linglong still felt lingering fear.

The opponent was very well prepared, knowing that she had a protective magic item, so they carried a powerful offensive magic item.

Moreover, his cultivation level is stuck at the half-step Enlightenment Realm.

If they are at the Purple Mansion Realm, they are easily killed; if they are at the Enlightenment Realm, they are easily discovered by our strong members.

Such a meticulous operation was solely for the purpose of assassinating her.

However, the other party's real purpose was to shake her grandfather Qin Rentu's mind and make him reveal a weakness.

"The enemy launched a sneak attack from four directions, and I just happened to encounter a team that was carrying out the assassination. There must be a traitor on our side!"

Qin Linglong gritted her teeth and said, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

Don't jump to conclusions so quickly.

The female war goddess reached out and pulled the halberd stuck in the ground, saying calmly, "Perhaps there are assassins like this in all four teams. As long as you appear on any side, they will pretend to be dead and launch a fatal attack on you."

Upon hearing this, Qin Linglong's expression suddenly froze.

Although it sounds unbelievable, she thinks it's very likely.

The other side had made thorough preparations. No matter which side Qin Linglong appeared on, she would fall into their trap, and the result would be the same.

The enemy underestimated the strength of the goddess of war, which ultimately led to their defeat.

It's conceivable that similar incidents will likely continue to occur.

Looking at Qin Linglong, who was standing there stunned, the female war goddess's cold eyes held a hint of pity.

Qin Linglong is the granddaughter of General Guozhu, and this special identity makes all of this inevitable.

Qin Rentu was a veteran of countless battles and had a meticulous mind. Could he not have thought of this?

He could certainly guess that's why the Goddess of War appeared by Qin Linglong's side and saved her life at the crucial moment.

"Sigh, this granddaughter is determined to become someone like me. Although she is well-versed in military strategy, she has never experienced actual combat and knows too little about the cruelty of war."

"If we really let it go unchecked, I'm afraid I'll regret it for the rest of my life."

"Goddess of War, I know what you want. I'm sorry to trouble you during this time. Please take good care of Linglong. Unless it involves life and death, you don't need to take action."

"As for what you want, I will naturally offer it to you with both hands afterward!"

In the mind of the female war goddess, she recalled the words spoken by the old general Qin Rentu.

A flicker of emotion crossed her eyes, but she quickly calmed down.

It was indeed a transaction at first, but now that Qin Linglong is calling him "sister" all the time, it's hard not to be moved.

She regarded Qin Linglong as a naive and inexperienced little sister.

Even if the transaction is over, she will not ignore Qin Linglong's life or death.

"Strive to become stronger."

The female warrior, wielding her halberd, walked towards the camp not far away, saying as she did so:
"Your talent is quite good. You are able to open all nine orifices, which makes you a rare genius. Only your mind and eyes are not yet open."

Qin Linglong then came to her senses, took a deep breath, quickly caught up, and asked with a face full of doubt:
"Sister, what is the Mind, Eye, and Spiritual Aperture?"

"How come I've never heard of it?"
