Crimsonsnow Hongji's cultivation was already at the pinnacle of the Riverwave Commandery's pyramid, and there were only a hundred or so people stronger than him. In the vast Riverwave Commandery, this was a very impressive feat.
Now, Qinchuan's Ten-Flower Divinity Seat would allow him to truly reach the apex of the Jianglang Commandery.
Qinchuan didn't know how powerful Silksnow Hongji was right now, but given his current strength, he should be able to enter the top ten of the Jianglang Commandery Ranking!
The Ten-Flower Divinity Seat could increase the strength of ten people to around the top ten of the Jianglang Commandery Ranking. This was Qinchuan's conservative estimate. Combined with the formation and the Immortal Might of his Divine Eyes, even if the Jianglang Commandery sent a true expert, he would still be able to put up a fight.
The Jianglang Commandery wouldn't come out in full force as soon as they arrived. If they came twice, he would be severely injured. By the time they realized what was going on, it would be useless even if they came out in full force.
As Qinchuan calculated, Silksnow Hongji and the others began their counterattack, quickly sweeping away all of the people who had come.
Less than half an hour after cleaning up the battlefield, the place returned to normal, as though nothing had ever happened.
At this time, Qinchuan, Silksnow Qianye, Silksnow Hongji, and the old man were all gathered in the main hall of the city lord's mansion.
At the same time, they sealed off all information about the Jianglang Commandery's arrival. Although they knew they couldn't keep it a secret for long, they had to drag it out for as long as they could.
Qinchuan's strength had given the Silksnow Clan hope once more. The old man had insisted on experiencing it for himself, and upon doing so, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak coherently. This was understandable. After all, the Silksnow Clan had almost been wiped out. If the Silksnow Clan had been wiped out, they would have become the sinners of the clan. How would they face their ancestors in the future?
The Silksnow Clan had quite a few experts as well. Currently, there were ten or so people seated here. Three of them were Silksnow Dragon's younger brothers, all of whom were experts. The rest were from Silksnow Hongji's generation. Including Qin Chuan, there were ten in total.
Perhaps because they had reached the point of no return, no one was afraid. Instead, their courage was ignited.
Qinchuan, on the other hand, was very calm. He smiled and said, "Even if I can't beat them, don't worry. I will set up a formation here at the City Lord Mansion. It won't be easy for them to come in.
With regards to his own formation, Qinchuan had absolute confidence. With the Divine Beast Formation Eye Stone, his physique, and the Array Devouring Beast, even in the Jianglang County, there were very few people who could break his formation. Moreover, they could completely break it. At most, they could enter the formation.
The joy in Scarlet Snowdragon's eyes dissipated at this sudden turn of events. Everyone let out a long sigh of relief.
"There's no time to lose. I'll go set up the formation," Qinchuan said.
"We can't help you either. Little girl, go and help Qinchuan!" the old man said with a smile.
Silksnow Thousand Leaves nodded. "Mn!"
Qinchuan smiled and nodded at everyone before looking at Silksnow Chiba. "Let's go!"
Silksnow Thousand Leaves grunted in acknowledgment.
The old man watched as Qinchuan and Silksnow Thousand Leaves left, a faint smile on his face.
"Father, what do you think of Qinchuan?" Silksnow Hongji asked.
"That young man's future accomplishments are limitless. He's like a dragon in shallow waters. All he needs is time. Whether or not our Silksnow Clan can survive depends on him. I wonder if the little girl likes him," the old man said.
This last question was what Silksnow Hongji was most concerned about.
… …
Qinchuan spent three full days setting up the formation. During these three days, Silksnow Thousand Leaves stayed by Qinchuan's side, not saying a single word. This was especially true when Qinchuan was completely focused on setting up the formation.
Only now did she truly understand how powerful Qinchuan's formation was.
She had actually studied formations before, and it could even be said that her comprehension of formations wasn't bad. However, she felt that Qinchuan's formation was too cryptic and difficult to understand. Given her understanding of formations, she couldn't understand it at all. Qinchuan explained it to her as he set up the formation.
He even explained some parts multiple times, simplifying some complicated problems and even requiring some knowledge of formations. Whatever Silksnow Thousand Leaves didn't understand, Qinchuan would explain.
In the end, Silksnow Thousand Leaves just barely managed to understand the formation. However, that was all she understood. She could only truly understand how powerful and terrifying this formation was. She still couldn't break it, but her comprehension of formations had advanced by leaps and bounds.
This made her truly fall in love with formations. She could sense how profound and profound formations were, as well as how terrifyingly powerful they were.
After setting up the formation, they didn't activate it. Hidden sentries had long since been set up.
The people from Riverwave City probably wouldn't have arrived so quickly. They definitely wouldn't believe that Huyan Zhao and the others had died in Rivermoon City.
However, given the power of Riverwave City, it wouldn't be hard for them to find out. It was just a matter of time.
Qinchuan didn't care about any of this. Right now, he was still focused on collecting immortal crystals. Qinchuan had obtained quite a few Sumeru Mustard Seeds, which was why he'd spent the past few days looking through them. To his delight, he'd actually managed to find thirty-seven immortal crystals.
It seemed like quite a lot, but he'd found them from countless Sumeru Mustard Seeds. After all, the owners of these seeds weren't ordinary people. On average, three Sumeru Mustard Seeds were worth less than a single immortal crystal. This was a testament to how precious immortal crystals were.
He had roughly fifty, which was half. With another fifty, he could attempt to upgrade the Five Elements Immortal Flag to the seventh rank.
Silksnow Thousand Leaves handed her immortal crystals over to Qinchuan.
This time, Qinchuan didn't refuse. "Thank you!"
"I should be the one thanking you. Not only did you save me, but you also saved the entire Silksnow Clan. I'll never be able to repay you in this lifetime," Silksnow Thousand Leaves said, shaking her head.
"If you can't repay me, you can repay me with your body … …"
"Go to hell!"
Qinchuan rubbed his nose. For him to be able to force this woman to say those two words was already quite impressive.
Silksnow Thousand Leaves didn't leave angrily. Instead, she looked at Qinchuan with a complicated expression. Her expression was slightly gloomy, causing Qinchuan to feel a wave of sadness in his heart. Perhaps he really had gone too far.
"If you can help that Silksnow Clan survive, I can agree to your request." Her voice was still as holy and inviolable as ever, but Qinchuan could sense a trace of distance in it.
That faint feeling of warmth from before was nowhere to be found.
Qinchuan looked at her. "Alright, I'll apologize. I went a bit too far before. My mouth is cheap, and I have no sense of propriety when it comes to jokes. Please don't be angry, okay? I swear that it really was just a joke."
Silksnow Thousand Leaves looked at Qinchuan and shook her head. "This promise will always be valid. Once this matter is over, you can come find me at any time."
After saying this, she turned and left, her figure desolate.
Qinchuan was speechless. He shook his head and sighed. All he could do was wait. He had gotten a bit carried away by his own success.
Before he knew it, another two days had passed.
Qinchuan hadn't seen Silksnow Thousand Leaves this entire time. During these two days, Qinchuan had been drinking with Shen San.
"You can't just wait for her to come find you, can you? Go find her," Shen San said with a laugh.
