Chapter 518: The Real Chess Player

It was the fourth day.

Since the announcement of the ten-day period for electing the Supreme Alliance Leader of the Southern Seven Provinces, tragedies had occurred every night for the past three days.

First, Bai Sha from the Yang family, followed by San Yan Yan Luo from the Chen family, and the blind divine physician from the Jiang family.

It was understandable that Qin Tian slaughtered the high-level cultivators of these families. After all, these families wanted to compete for the position of the alliance leader.

Qin Tian was ruthless in order to strike at his competitors.

But why did the Lin family of the Donghua Province and the Yan family of Rosereed suffer such treatment when they didn't even have the qualifications to compete for the position of the leader?

Just for a vote?

Truly, it was an outrage that angered both humans and gods, and it went against the principles of justice!

The people were furious!

The voices condemning Qin Tian grew louder and louder.

With the support of so many people, Lin Dong and Yan Xiu chose not to submit to Qin Tian but to stand with those who sought to condemn him.

Upon learning that Yang Yuanqing, Chen Teng, and Ma Zhuoqun were in Tianyang City of the Sihai Province, seeking help from the Ji family, Lin Dong and Yan Xiu prepared generous gifts and rushed to Tianyang City to meet up with them.

The five prominent figures once again requested the Ji family's assistance.

Now it was no longer just a request; they stood on the moral high ground and even exerted pressure on the Ji family, forcing them to take action.

Old Master Ji fell silent.

The pressure continued to mount, and even he began to doubt whether all these incidents were orchestrated by Qin Tian.

It was possible for a young high-level cultivator to commit such acts in order to gain supreme power and status.

"Old Master, the situation is not simple."

"I think we should wait a little longer," Yue Moon King Yue said with deep concern.

Even a huge family like the Ji family felt that this wave of bloodshed was far from simple. It could very well overturn the entire situation in the Southern Seven Provinces.

They had to consider their own interests.

In the end, the Ji family decided to wait.

They hoped that the bloodshed would stop, so they wouldn't have to directly confront Qin Tian. As for who became the alliance leader, the Ji family truly didn't care.

They only wanted to protect their territory in the Sihai Province and didn't have any other major aspirations.

"Young Master, those old foxes from the Ji family are indeed not easy to deal with."

"Now that the five family heads have requested their help, they still refuse to take action."

"What should we do next?" Copperman asked in a low voice.

A satisfied smile appeared on Lv Liang's face.

"Now this is interesting."

"If the Ji family were as easily controlled as the Chen and Yang families, this chess game would lose its excitement."

"Perfect! We can take advantage of this time to kill more people, eliminate dissidents, and increase Qin Tian's sins."

Copperman's eyes lit up.

"Who will die tonight?"

Lv Liang smiled and said, "We can't touch South Province since Flitz has the young master from the Ji family, who is useful. So we won't act there."

"That leaves us with North Jiang."

"The Queen of North Jiang may have a weak force, but she is a key figure in this chess game."

"I heard she has the Five Tigers of North Jiang by her side. Tonight, let's start with these old tigers."

"The Queen of North Jiang has a grudge against Qin Tian for killing her husband. With the recent examples, she is likely on guard."

"Tell Shen Feng to be extra careful. If there's any mistake, he doesn't need to come back to see me."

Copperman's heart trembled, and he quickly said in a low voice, "Understood!"

In the hall they belonged to, the rules were strict. If a mission failed, there was only one outcome: death.

Inside the hotel, Qin Tian looked solemn, not even touching the cold tea in front of him.

Last night, he had a premonition that there would be bloodshed. But he never expected it would be the Lin family of the Donghua Province and the Yan family of Rosereed.

However, this allowed him to further understand the situation.

The other side wanted to entangle the entire Southern Seven Provinces.

The people who killed the Lin and Yan families were just increasing the stakes.

Ma Zhuoqun reported that the Ji family had not yet decided to take action.

From the current situation, as long as the Ji family didn't intervene, the other side wouldn't stop. They would continue to escalate until they forced the Ji family to act.

In other words, tonight, there might be more deaths.

Among the Southern Seven Provinces, only North Jiang, South Province, and Flitz remained untouched.

Tonight, which family would the other side target?

With this in mind, he dialed An Guo's phone.

"Young Master, you finally called me."

"I've been waiting for your call for a long time."

In the phone call, An Guo's voice sounded somewhat old.

It was evident that although he was in South Province, he was constantly paying attention to the news of Silklake and worrying about Qin Tian.

Qin Tian smiled bitterly and said, "Old Master, do you have many questions to ask me?"

An Guo fell silent for a moment and said, "No matter what, I stand on your side."

"I know they all went to Tianyang City to ask for help from the Ji family."

"I have already discussed with Zhui Feng and plan to rush to Silklake to help you."

Qin Tian sighed and said, "Old Master, does that mean you also believe that I am responsible for those tragedies?"

An Guo was taken aback and said, "Isn't it?"

To be honest, An Guo felt a lump in his throat when he heard that Qin Tian was responsible for the consecutive tragedies.

But he willingly believed that Qin Tian had his own reasons for doing so.

Therefore, even if it went against his own feelings, An Guo was determined to stand on Qin Tian's side.

Qin Tian was deeply moved by An Guo's loyalty.

He knew that An Guo was a person who distinguished between grievances and favors, and he was well aware that what he had done would not be approved by An Guo.

In this situation, to still choose to support him was truly a violation of An Guo's own principles.

Qin Tian said solemnly, "Old Master, listen to me."

"I have lost control of this chess game. I have been unknowingly used as a pawn."

"The other side is the real chess player, but I still can't see who it is."

"What did you say?"

"You've become a pawn too?" An Guo widened his mouth in astonishment.

Qin Tian said in a deep voice, "I can't explain it clearly right now. Old Master, listen to me. There are two things you must do next."

"First, Silklake is already chaotic enough. Please don't come. It will only become even more chaotic."

"Second, the killing has not stopped. The next step, the other side's butcher knife may fall on South Province, North Jiang, or Flitz."

"Please tell Aunt Lin Long to be careful for me."

"I truly hope that I won't see anyone else die."

"I'm trapped in Silklake right now and can't help you. I can only wait for the other side to reveal themselves."

"Old Master, remember what I said!"

After hanging up the phone, Qin Tian called Zhao Tianpeng from the Zhao family in Flitz.

He repeated the same content.

Zhao Tianpeng fell silent for a moment and said with a bitter smile, "The Zhao family currently doesn't have any high-level cultivators to kill, so I'm not worried."

"But there is one person who is a variable."

"Mr. Qin, the young master of the Ji family may come to find you in the next few days."

"And Qingyao, that girl, I can't stop her either."
