Ying An suddenly roared, his voice like thunder and like a wake-up call. No matter whether it was the struggling Li Si or the elite Qin soldiers who fell into the spell of Yan Lingji, they woke up instantly after hearing this roar.
Compared with the realm of soul and illusion, with Ying An's current soul cultivation as a ghost immortal, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is standing at the top of the pyramid of the illusion realm in this world.
In the realm of illusion, there are only a handful of people in the world who possess more powerful techniques than him. Perhaps only the leaders of the various schools of thought can rival Ying An.
Although Yan Lingji's fire charm technique is extremely strange, how can it withstand Ying An's thunderous roar!
The moment his consciousness was freed from the influence of Yan Lingji's fire charm, Li Si broke out in a cold sweat. He looked at Yan Lingji in horror and said, "Witch! What kind of magic did you cast?"
Li Si, still in shock, hurriedly bowed to Ying An and said, "Sir, this witch's methods are strange, and her magic can shake people's hearts. For your safety, she must not be spared!"
Li Si was truly frightened at this moment. Just when he was bewitched by Yan Lingji's fire charm, he actually felt the urge to not harm her. He even felt such pity for her that he wanted to persuade Ying An to release her.
How could Li Si, who had calmed down, allow such a person who had the means to deceive people to survive?
"Mr. Li Si, please be patient!" Ying An waved his hand and said, "I will make the final decision on how to deal with the assassin!"
"Master!" Li Si said unwillingly, "Don't be seduced by her beauty. This enchantress possesses the power to seduce people. If you let her live, you will be in danger!"
Ying An certainly understood what Li Si meant.
The power Yan Lingji possessed, if it were simply fire, would be fine. After all, the various schools of thought possessed a wide variety of techniques, most of which rivaled Yan Lingji's Baiyue sorcery. However, when it came to deceiving the minds of others, the situation was different.
No one in power will allow such dangerous elements to appear around them.
If Ying An insisted on protecting Yan Lingji, not to mention others, countless people within the Qin Dynasty would be wary of him. Even King Ying Zheng of Qin might not be able to accept the existence of someone like Yan Lingji.
Who knows if Ying An will let Yan Lingji confuse his mind in an impulsive manner?
Ying An himself was indeed not afraid of Yan Lingji's fire charm, but what about others?
"Thank you, Mr. Li Si, for your advice." Ying An smiled faintly and said, "But don't you find it strange, sir? When did Han collude with Baiyue? If I remember correctly, it was the alliance between Han and Chu that led to the demise of Baiyue! Several people who mastered the unique skills of Baiyue suddenly appeared in Xinzheng and assassinated the Qin delegation, intending to provoke war between Qin and Han. Do you think this matter is really as simple as it seems?"
Just now, Li Si subconsciously linked the assassin and South Korea together. But now, he had to admit that his previous thoughts were a bit hasty.
Apart from other things, the fact that the assassin came from the land of Baiyue is an inexplicable doubt.
The fact that the Han-Chu coalition had annihilated the Baiyue was no secret among the other five kingdoms. It could be said that from this point on, there was an irreconcilable hatred between the Baiyue and Han.
If the Baiyue assassin in front of her was really bribed by South Korea, then she should not behave so incongruously no matter what.
Considering the relationship between the fall of the Baiyue and Han, and looking at Yan Lingji's current behavior, Li Si became increasingly convinced that there must be another force behind Yan Lingji and the others. Furthermore, their purpose was most likely to provoke a war between Han and Qin.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was a conspiracy behind it. For a moment, even Li Si's attitude towards Yan Lingji and Wushuang Gui changed.
Li Si bowed to Ying An and said, "If it weren't for your warning, I would have almost made a big mistake! Since you've noticed something strange about these assassins, what do you think they're up to?"
Ying An smiled slightly, looked at Yan Lingji and said, "You'll have to ask our two captives about that!"
Ying An used his powerful spirit to break the fire charm spell with a loud shout, and Yan Lingji suffered a severe backlash.
The backlash of the soul is different from that of the body. Apart from the mental weakness, there is no sign of it on the outside.
Showing Ying An a weak and pitiful smile, Yan Lingji said, "Young Master Ying An of the Great Qin, it seems that everyone underestimates you!"
"So, you investigated my identity before you took action!" Ying An smiled noncommittally and said, "Then can I assume that from the very beginning, you intended to kill the Qin envoys and provoke a war between Qin and Han?"
"I didn't expect that!" Yan Lingji showed a pitiful expression, looking weak.
Ying An, however, looked indifferent and said, "You didn't expect it? You didn't expect that there would be a master of the Yin-Yang School among our Great Qin delegation, and that your plan would come to nothing?"
"Then I wonder how Master Ying An plans to treat me, the assassin who wants to kill you?" Yan Lingji asked instead of answering.
"Red-browed Dragon Snake!" Ying An inexplicably mentioned Yan Lingji's master, his tone full of joking. "I wonder, if the deposed crown prince of Baiyue knew that his capable subordinate had surrendered to me, what would he think of the remaining Hundred Poison Kings and Corpse-Driving Demons?"
At this moment, Yan Lingji completely lost any hope.
Truthfully, she couldn't figure out how Ying An could review every single member of the Baiyue group so well!
Chapter 37 Respect Me as God
In Yan Lingji's opinion, Ying An was able to name all the members of the Baiyue Group like the back of his hand.
This also means that he must be able to guess what the real purpose of this assassination is.
Don't underestimate the Baiyue group, each of them is a unique person, as if they have unique skills and can dominate the world. But even the weakest South Korea cannot be challenged by a mere Baiyue group.
Even though the Baiyue group's actions in Xinzheng did cause considerable trouble for South Korea, these troubles were ultimately nothing more than minor issues.
Even the reason why Tianze, the deposed prince of Baiyue, was able to come out of imprisonment for more than ten years was because Bai Yifei needed him to disrupt the situation in Xinzheng.
To some extent, even a Korean marquis is fully confident that he can control the Baiyue group.
If the Baiyue Group's plan is really exposed, there is no need for Qin to take action. If South Korea takes it seriously, it will be enough to completely wipe out the Baiyue Group in a short period of time.
No matter how loyal she is to Tianze, Yan Lingji is very clear that with their strength, they cannot shake South Korea at all.
If South Korea was like this, what about the even more powerful Qin Dynasty that even threatened the six states in Shandong?
"How do you know about us?" Yan Lingji's face rarely showed the enchantment and charm.
Ying An smiled faintly and said, "What? Can we talk properly now?"
"I'm asking you, how do you know about us?" Yan Lingji's voice instantly rose an octave.
"Don't be so excited!" Ying An waved his hand and said, "You have to understand that you are my prisoner now. When you are a prisoner, you must be aware of being a prisoner. Now it's not you asking me, but me asking you! Even the life and death of your master, including all your companions, depends on your next performance. Do you understand?"
The hatred in her eyes was almost turning into tangible flames. Yan Lingji gritted her teeth and said, "Even if you know our identities, so what? Master can make the entire Xinzheng area uneasy, and the Qin State is no exception!"
Shaking his head, Ying An looked at Yan Lingji with pity and said, "What on earth gave you such confidence? Do you think that with your limited strength, you can really mess up South Korea, one of the seven major powers of the Warring States Period? Don't dream. The reason you have such an illusion is simply because South Korea is not serious yet. Otherwise, just a Night Organization would be enough to make you all doomed! Oh, right!"
Ying An slapped his forehead, as if he had just thought of something, and said, "I almost forgot. It seems that your master has been a dog of Bai Yifei, the Blood-Robed Marquis of the Korean Night Organization from the very beginning. Letting your master out is just to bite his opponents."
"You're talking nonsense!!" At this moment, Yan Lingji's defense was completely broken.
"Why deceive yourself?" Ying An said playfully, "You clearly know that everything I said is true, don't you? Unless your master wants to die in immense pain, he will do whatever Bai Yifei says. Otherwise, those poisons are not so easy to bear!!"
"What do you know?" Yan Lingji asked angrily.
"Tsk tsk!" Ying An shook his head, making a tsk-tsk sound, and said, "I just said that as a prisoner, you must be aware of your status as a prisoner!! Now I'm asking you again!!"
Taking a deep breath, Yan Lingji forced herself to calm down, stared at Ying An, and said, "Master Ying An, what do you want to know?"
Ying An raised his eyebrows and after thinking about it, he suddenly realized that he didn't seem to need any information from Yan Lingji at all.
After all, he knew everything that had happened in Xinzheng, was happening now, and even what was going to happen in the future. There was no need to force Yan Lingji to tell him anything.
After pondering for a few breaths, Ying An spread his hands and said, "It seems that what you know is of no value to me. Even if there are things you don't know, I know them clearly."
"How about this!" Ying An changed the subject and said, "From now on, you will submit to me. Perhaps in the future, I will show you mercy on Chimei Longshe Tianze, the deposed crown prince of Baiyue!"
"Okay!" Unexpectedly, after Ying An made this suggestion jokingly, Yan Lingji agreed without thinking.
After narrowing his eyes slightly and looking at Yan Lingji, Ying An quickly understood.
Yan Lingji is a smart person. If he guessed correctly, the reason why Yan Lingji accepted Ying An's proposal without thinking was a scam from the very beginning.
In other words, Yan Lingji did this out of cleverness to try to stabilize Ying An.
If it were someone else, no matter what the reason was, whether it was lust or valuing Yan Lingji's abilities, as long as Yan Lingji was kept by his side, then with the means of Baiyue witchcraft, Yan Lingji would have too many ways to pass on the message to Tianze.
Unfortunately, she is now facing Ying An, an extraordinary existence.
He looks like a weak scholar, but in fact he is just like a Tyrannosaurus Rex in human skin.
What's worse, all of Yan Lingji's abilities were completely ineffective in front of Ying An.
The Baiyue witchcraft that manipulated flames couldn't even compete with Ying An's clearly restrained Ten Thousand Leaf Flying Flower Flow. And the Fire Charm, with its mysterious manipulations in the spiritual realm, was easily crushed by Ying An's terrifying spirit.
In front of Ying An, Yan Lingji was under control in all aspects.
Even though he understood Yan Lingji's thoughts, Ying An did not point them out. Instead, he went with the flow and said, "Since that's the case, then offer your loyalty to me now. Open your heart and worship me devoutly!!"
Yan Lingji was stunned and showed an expression of obvious confusion.
Ying An said, "The Baiyue witchcraft is world-renowned. As a Baiyue witch, you should know very well how those foolish men and women worship the gods! I want you to respect me as you would a god! Worship me as the god in your mind!"
Looking at Ying An in astonishment, Yan Lingji never dreamed that Ying An would make such a ridiculous request.
Yan Lingji was certainly no stranger to how foolish men and women worshipped gods.
But she couldn't understand why Ying An, a prince of the Qin Dynasty, would make such an absurd request.
He wouldn't think that just because I worship him as a god, I will be completely loyal to him and will never betray him, right?
No matter what Ying An was thinking, the moment he made this request, Yan Lingji couldn't wait to agree.
Then, according to Ying An's request, the believers began to worship the gods.
Chapter 38: General Ji Wuye of Han
Yan Lingji had just knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Ying An when she was immediately stopped by Ying An.
"Wait a minute!" Ying An looked at Yan Lingji meaningfully and said, "I need you to open your heart and worship me, not just pretend. Do you understand?"
Yan Lingji, who was kneeling on the ground, looked at Ying An with an aggrieved expression and said, "I have tried my best. It was the same when we worshipped the gods and ancestors!"
"Really?" Ying An said with a half-smile, "Then you should bow down to me as your master, Tianze! Open your heart! Offer your faith!"
The black and white sisters, who witnessed everything, couldn't help but look at Yan Lingji with a sense of sympathy.
No one knew better than the sisters what the consequences would be if they opened their hearts and bowed to Ying An. It was no exaggeration to say that everything they had now was completely in Ying An's hands.
And the charming, gentle and passionate girl in front of them will soon follow in the footsteps of her sisters.
"Okay! Okay!" Yan Lingji took a deep breath, and kept calming herself in her heart, and then she kowtowed to Ying An again.
This time, at the moment Yan Lingji kowtowed, Ying An clearly felt a different thought emanating from Yan Lingji.
Having had the same experience before, Ying An now seemed to be more and more at ease.
In the past, the Amitabha Sutra sat deep in the soul and suppressed consciousness. Yan Lingji's faith in incense was completely absorbed by Ying An in just a moment.
The moment the incense and faith were offered to Ying An, Yan Lingji's expression suddenly changed.
She clearly felt that everything about her was completely controlled by the young master of the Qin Dynasty. Even her every thought and every idea was clearly understood by him.
It can be said that from this moment on, Yan Lingji no longer had any secrets in front of Ying An, the prince of the Qin Dynasty.
Including her past experiences, everything seemed to be completely defenseless, allowing Ying An to read them.
"What on earth did you do?" Yan Lingji's expression instantly turned extremely ugly. At this moment, she finally realized that she had been tricked!
Ying An, however, revealed a strange smile and said, "Very good! From now on, you are my maid! I am looking forward to seeing how you will behave when you see Tianze again!!"
"Sir!" Li Si hesitated for a moment, not understanding what had just happened. "The Baiyue witch is cunning and treacherous. We must be on guard!"
Ying An waved his hand and said, "Mr. Li Si, you can rest assured! From now on, this Yan Lingji will be more loyal to me than she is to her master!"
Li Si would never believe that just a fake worship could make a cunning Baiyue witch become loyal. Don't forget, just now, this Baiyue witch had launched an assassination attack on them!
Just when Li Si wanted to say something to persuade Ying An to change his mind.
A loud sound of horse hooves came quickly from far away.
Following the sound, they saw a large group of cavalrymen, stirring up a cloud of flying sand, galloping towards the direction of the delegation.
The leader was a burly man wearing close-fitting armor, with a burly build, rough skin and an ugly appearance.
The bright red cloak fluttered in the wind behind the sturdy man. In a short time, the Korean cavalry led by the sturdy man had rushed outside the delegation's cordon.
In the distance, a burly man dismounted, clasped his fists and saluted in the direction of Ying An and Li Si, saying, "General Ji Wuye of the Kingdom of Han greets the members of the Qin envoys! Greetings to Master Ying An!"
"Ji Wuye?" Li Si raised his eyebrows and didn't bother to continue persuading Ying An at this time.
Li Si strode up to Ji Wuye and shouted angrily, "I have witnessed the hospitality of the Han Dynasty! General Ji Wuye, are you here to see if the Qin envoys have been assassinated? Are you ready to collect our bodies?"
Li Si's question immediately confused Ji Wuye. He looked around in astonishment.
Although Ji Wuye's title of the strongest general in Korea in the past century is quite exaggerated, one thing is undeniable: Ji Wuye is not as reckless and brainless as his appearance suggests.
If this were true, he would not have been able to sit firmly in the Han court for decades, and even reached the point where he was so powerful that even King An of Han had to give him some respect.
In just a moment, through the traces around him, Ji Wuye had already determined that before their arrival, the Qin delegation had been ambushed.
Ji Wuye broke out in a cold sweat at the thought of this possibility.
God knows how big a commotion it would cause if this delegation headed by a prince of Qin was assassinated just before it set foot in Xinzheng, the capital of Han.
Han's national destiny was even in danger. If Qin used the assassination of the prince as an excuse to launch a war against Han, the six states of Shandong, which had just experienced a coalition against Qin, would definitely not have the energy to continue supporting Han.
"You must be Mr. Li Si!" Ji Wuye hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Please forgive me. Regarding the recent events, I will definitely give you and Master Ying An a satisfactory answer!!"
"I hope so!" Li Si waved his sleeves and said coldly, "I just hope that South Korea won't disappoint us this time. Otherwise, my 100,000 strong cavalry will not mind personally taking back the dignity of my Great Qin!"
