The Panorama of Mountains and Rivers is opened once again.
Qin Yi let out a cold laugh and said, "Investigate information about my Qin Family. If the Qin Family's strength is not strong..."
"Is your Qian Family planning to send experts to seize the military formation of my Qin Family in the next step?"
The man in gray had a look of fear in his eyes and said tremblingly, "Patriarch Qin, you have misunderstood. Our Qian Family would absolutely never dare to seize your Qin Family's military formation."
Dare not? Qin Yi let out a cold laugh, a trace of killing intent flashing in his eyes.
The Qian Family sent people to spy on the Qin Family; they must have some designs on the Nine Heavens Flying Dragon Formation.
If the Qin Family were weak, Qin Yi would not believe that the Qian Family could resist the temptation of the Nine Heavens Flying Dragon Formation and not send experts to seize it.
The reason they dare not seize it now is simply because Qin Yi is powerful and the Qian Family lacks the ability to do so.
Qin Yi would absolutely not be soft-hearted toward any force that harbored malicious intentions against the Qin Family.
Qin Yi continued to ask, "What is the strength of your Qian Family? How many spies have come to the Southwest Region this time, and what are their cultivation levels?"
The man in gray answered truthfully, "Our Qian Family is an Immortal King Level Family. The strongest person in the clan is our Qian Family Old Ancestor, an Immortal King Fourth Level Realm expert."
"This time, our Qian Family sent twenty spies to the Southwest Region to gather information on the Qin Family."
"The other spies are all at the Immortal Lord First Level, just like me."
Qin Yi thought to himself that the Qian Family was indeed not as strong as the Qin Family; no wonder the man in gray said they dared not seize the Qin Family's military formation.
"Qin Feng, take this man in gray away and eliminate him."
"Also, notify the Secret Guards to search the Southwest Region for suspicious individuals. If any Qian Family spies are discovered, eliminate them immediately."
Qin Feng's expression was cold as he cupped his hands and accepted the order, "As you command, Patriarch."
Subsequently, he looked at the man in gray, his eyes flickering with cold killing intent. The Qian Family actually dared to plot against our Qin Family's military formation; they were simply courting death.
The man in gray looked terrified and begged repeatedly, "Patriarch Qin, please, spare my life."
"Spying on the Qin Family was all done at the behest of the Qian Family Head."
Qin Feng let out a cold snort, picked up the man in gray with one hand, and with a movement of his figure, disappeared from the spot.
Three days later, Qin Feng moved like a ghost, arriving in the courtyard.
He bowed and said, "Reporting to the Patriarch, the Qian Family's spies in the Southwest Region have all been cleared out by the Secret Guards."
Qin Yi nodded and said in a deep voice, "Tell the members of the Secret Guards to remain vigilant at all times. If any suspicious individuals are discovered, report it immediately."
Since the Qian Family would send spies to gather information on the Qin Family, other forces within the Beiming Immortal Kingdom might also do the same.
If it were an Immortal King Level Force, the Qin Family would not be afraid at all, but if an Immortal Venerable Grade force set its sights on the Qin Family, that would be troublesome.
Qin Feng accepted the order, "As you command, Patriarch."
Qin Feng paused for a moment and continued, "Patriarch, information on the major forces within the Beiming Immortal Kingdom has already been collected by the Secret Guards."
Then, he flipped his hand, and a green jade slip flew in front of Qin Yi.
Qin Yi was delighted; he took the jade slip and used his consciousness to examine the information inside.
Soon, Qin Yi understood the information in the jade slip.
The territory of the Beiming Immortal Kingdom is divided into nine provinces, each vast and boundless, with numerous forces.
Among the nine provinces, the strongest is Huang Province, where the capital of the Beiming Immortal Kingdom is located. The forces in the other eight provinces are similar in strength.
As for Beiming City, the location of the Beiming Immortal Gathering, it is within Ling Province. Sacred Moon City, where Immortal Venerable Wuji sits, is also in Ling Province.
Among them, there are over a hundred Immortal Venerable Grade forces in the Beiming Immortal Kingdom, but only two are the strongest: the Qiantian Immortal Sect and the Huangji Aristocratic Family.
The ancestors of both forces are Immortal Venerable Seventh Realm experts.
As for Immortal King Level Forces, there are over two hundred, with the four strongest being the Canglan Immortal Sect, the Zhan Family, the Yin and Yang Family, and Wenshu Academy.
All four of these forces have experts at the Ninth Level Immortal King Realm, and more than one.
Qin Yi now had a general understanding of the various forces within the Beiming Immortal Kingdom.
Then, with a thought, he sent a voice transmission to Elder Xiao to come over.
Soon, Elder Xiao arrived in the courtyard and bowed, "Greetings, Patriarch."
Qin Yi nodded and said, "Elder Xiao, have your Pill Refining Hall begin mass-producing Medicinal Pills to prepare for the next time we enter the ten thousand miles landscape painting."
Elder Xiao bowed and accepted the order, "As you command, Patriarch."
Subsequently, his figure moved, and he disappeared from the courtyard.
A smile appeared on Qin Yi's face. Now that the Qin Family was invincible in the Southwest Region, he only needed to wait for the ten thousand miles landscape painting to open.
After improving their strength, Qin Yi would then head to Beiming City to participate in the Tiger Ranking Competition of the Beiming Immortal Gathering.
Meanwhile, in the main hall of the Qian Family in Shuiyue City, an old man in white robes cupped his hands and said, "Patriarch, the spies we sent to investigate the Qin Family have all lost contact. It is estimated that they have fallen."
The middle-aged man in black robes sitting in the main seat frowned and said in a deep voice, "It seems the Qin Family is not weak, to have silently eliminated our Family's twenty spies."
This was the Qian Family Head, Qian Feng, whose cultivation was at the Immortal King Third Level.
The Grand Elder looked shocked and said, "Indeed. It seems it will not be so easy for our Qian Family to obtain the Qin Family's military formation."
"However, when did such a powerful Family like the Qin Family appear in the Southwest Region?"
In his eyes, the strongest force in the Southwest Region was the Ziyang Immortal Palace, which had an expert at the Immortal Lord Ninth Level.
However, to silently eliminate twenty Immortal Lord experts, the Ziyang Immortal Palace could not do it; only an Immortal King Level Force would have that kind of strength.
A look of gravity appeared in Qian Feng's eyes as he said, "For now, our Qian Family will stop investigating the Qin Family."
"Anyway, the Beiming Immortal Gathering is about to start soon, and we will know the Qin Family's overall strength then."
"If the Qin Family's strength is not as good as our Qian Family's, it will not be too late for us to make a move and seize the military formation."
If the Qin Family were powerful, their Qian Family sending more spies to the Southwest Region would inevitably offend the Qin Family, which would be counterproductive for the Qian Family.
The Grand Elder accepted the order, "As you command, Family Head."
Four months later.
At the Qin Family Territory, Members of the Qin Family gathered together, their eyes excited and their expressions stirred.
A young clansman in green robes said excitedly, "The ten thousand miles landscape painting has finally opened today. After coming out, our Qin Family's overall strength will definitely increase greatly."
A young clansman in white robes next to him nodded in agreement, "That's right. The Patriarch, Hei Nantian, Xuanming Immortal King, and Chiyang Immortal King—all four of them are at the Immortal King Fifth Level Realm."
"After coming out of the ten thousand miles landscape painting, the Patriarch and the others might break through to the Ninth Level Immortal King Realm."
"By then, our Qin Family will be the strongest Immortal King Level Family."
Xuanming Immortal King, Chiyang Immortal King, and the other five Immortal King Level Alchemists were excited, not expecting the Qin Family to possess such a Heaven-Defying treasure.
Xuanming Immortal King and the others couldn't help but think that with the existence of the ten thousand miles landscape painting, they would definitely be able to become Immortal Venerable Experts.
It was even possible for them to become Immortal Emperor Experts who could suppress a region.
Seeing the Qin Family members so excited, Qin Yi did not dawdle.
With a wave of his hand, the ten thousand miles landscape painting appeared in the sky above.
The ten thousand miles landscape painting emitted a brilliant light, rapidly growing larger as it stood horizontally in the sky, emitting rich Spiritual Qi from within.
"Now that the ten thousand miles landscape painting has opened, quickly enter and begin to Cultivate."
