You, a druid, go to practice Taoism?.

Chapter 264 Then poke a hole in the sky!

"How?"

Facing the questions from Zhang Daniu and Han Li, Qi Ping looked down at this city famous for its illegal industries, with a strong murderous intent in his eyes.

After setting up a protective shield to prevent prying eyes, Qi Ping slowly said:

"Don't they just want us to fight to the death with those guys behind Starfall City, so that they can sit back and watch the fight and reap the benefits?"

"But how can we let them do what they want?"

"They asked me to do it, so I did it!"

"It's meaningless to just fight a little. If we want to break the opponent's plan, there is only one way we can do now: muddy the water! Break the sky!"

Hearing Qi Ping's words, Han Li and Zhang Niu were both shocked.

Muddy the water? Poke a hole in the sky?
Han Li seemed to have grasped something, but because he didn't know Qi Ping's true strength, he couldn't determine the key.

"Brother, what should we do?" they both asked at the same time.

"Let's talk about piercing the sky first. It's just two simple words: massacre the city!"

"According to the rules set by Qingyuan Sect and our duties as garrison commanders, all those who are engaged in illegal activities and who should be killed according to the rules will be killed! Even those who are not dead will be killed!"

"These people whose hands are stained with innocent blood deserve to die. There is nothing much to say. The point is that there are too few people left in the city. We have to find a way to lure them back!"

"It will only work if enough people die, and a few important figures in our sect who are involved in the black industry die!"

"And the death of people is not enough. We must find evidence that these heavyweights who were killed violated the sect's rules and controlled the black industry. Then, we can add the people who manipulated us into a dead end to the list and announce it to the entire Qingtian Region along with the evidence! Drag them down in the name of eliminating the termites!"

"It has to reach a point where as long as Qingyuan Sect doesn't kill them, it will cause great damage to the image of Qingyuan Sect, making countless grassroots cultivators want to leave Qingtian Territory, and making other grassroots cultivators afraid to join Qingtian Territory!"

Although the grassroots cultivators combined cannot harm a Jindan cultivator of Qingyuan Sect, if the Qingtian Domain declines due to a drastic reduction in grassroots cultivators, and the economic income, rental income, and industrial income are greatly reduced, it will definitely not be a trivial matter.

"Senior brother, this move of yours is so cruel!" Zhang Daniu was shocked after hearing Qi Ping's plan.

"Brother Ya, this plan is a feasible way out, but I have a few questions."

Compared with Zhang Daniu, Han Li was much calmer, and he quickly found the implementation methods and difficulties faced in some of the nodes.

"Things like determining the approximate range of the people behind the trap we set up, and spreading the terror and cruelty of the Xingyue City's black industry to the entire Qingtian Region are not difficult. As long as we have time to investigate and plan ahead, it will be fine. I can even compile some horrific examples that will make people want to run away after hearing them."

"It's just that the heavyweights behind Xingyue City are very powerful, and there are even Jindan elders."

"Also, how can we attract those people back when Senior Brother Ya is here?"

"In addition, the existence behind Falling Star City will cause huge losses every day we stop operations. They may not give us that much time and may take action soon."

Han Li paused at this point. He had discovered a problem, which was that this plan was too risky. If there was any mistake, they would all die without a burial place!
But at this point, he can no longer care about so many things. He has already prepared himself to die. What he wants to do now is to have a good fight without any scruples!
After hearing what Han Li said, Qi Ping was not too surprised. He naturally thought of countermeasures for these problems.

He admired Han Li's meticulousness and carefulness. With the help of such a meticulous Han Li, and Han Li's connections, it would be much easier to execute his plan, and some things could be handed over to Han Li to complete. "Leave the first problem to me. I will kill the person behind the Falling Star City. If the Golden Core comes, I will be able to deal with it! You don't need to worry about this!"

Just this casual remark shocked Han Li and Zhang Daniu deeply. They looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

But they knew that with Qi Ping's personality, he would never brag.

Since Qi Ping said so, it means he can definitely do it!
This was what shocked them the most; Senior Brother Lin Ya’s true strength was even more unfathomable than they had imagined!

However, Qi Ping did not give them time to think, but continued:

"The second and third problems need to be solved together. In order to solve this problem, it is actually very simple. The first thing is to spread rumors that I am under pressure and will not take action against any illegal activities in Xingyue City."

"Then I'll have to trouble Brother Han to communicate with those people in Xingyue City and the people behind them, and tell them that I can stay out of Xingyue City's affairs, but I must have a portion of the benefits, and that they must contribute a portion of their people every year so that we can complete the duties of the garrison commanders, so as to avoid being investigated and punished by the sect, and they can't reveal any flaws during our term of office."

"In return, we will not interfere with the illegal activities of Xingyue City. We will even help them erase some traces of the illegal activities and serve as their umbrella of protection."

After saying this, Qi Ping looked at Han Li and said:
“Brother Han, you should be familiar with this kind of thing, right?”

"Brother Ya, this is not difficult for me. I am fully confident that I can handle this matter well. However, Han Li glanced at Qi Ping hesitantly and said:
"If you just do this, your reputation may be ruined, Brother Ya."

Because Qi Ping was regarded as a backbone by the Mirror of the Heart, and he had rejected the olive branches from the three major factions many times, they did not expect Qi Ping to be able to achieve this level.

What surprised Han Li and Zhang Daniu was that Qi Ping just smiled calmly when faced with this question:

"I have never cared about fame, and a cultivator should not be bound by fame. From the beginning to the end, I was just doing what I should do. As long as I can achieve the result, what does it matter if I suffer some burden from fame?"

Qi Ping's frank and nonchalant plan immediately made Han Li and Zhang Daniu respect him.

As expected of you, Senior Brother Crow. Your determination in the Dao is admirable!
However, after saying this, Qi Ping's expression suddenly became serious, and then he looked at the two of them and said:
"The last problem is that this plan is too risky. If any link goes wrong, we could end up dead!"

"Brother, I am not afraid."

But before Zhang Daniu could finish his words, he was interrupted by Qi Ping.

"Listen to me, no matter what happens, I have more than 70% chance of escaping, or even leaving Qingtian Territory, so don't worry too much about my safety. You must put all the risks on me! I will never involve you!"

"Then I will find a way for you to escape safely during this time before the final battle begins!"

"Brother, but..."

"No buts! You must solemnly promise me on this matter! Do you understand?" Qi Ping said firmly.

After hearing Qi Ping's extremely firm words, Han Li and Zhang Daniu could only nod and agree.

"We'll listen to Senior Brother Crow!"

At this moment, Han Li and Zhang Daniu felt warm in their hearts, and slowly developed a heart to follow Qi Ping until death.
