#4195 - A unique casus belli
"Hmph, which bunch of bastards were saying before that the Little Primordial Star Territory didn't have a second Saint-level combatant? They were even exaggerating, saying their predictions had never been wrong. What is this? I told you all long ago that the Little Primordial Star Territory is strange, and we must be careful when targeting them, but you just wouldn't listen to my advice."
"The Saint who fell this time isn't from your faction, so why are you getting so worked up? I really can't understand what you're so excited about. We're not your subordinates, so why should we listen to your commands? You can't really be taking yourself seriously, right? That's hilarious!"
"That's right, it's not good for you to take yourself so seriously. What if we're willing to be careless when facing the Little Primordial Star Territory, and we lose a Saint in a sneak attack by them? Which of the Saint-level forces here can't afford that loss? What's the big deal? Look at how anxious you're getting, it's embarrassing."
"Anyone who didn't know better would think we were fighting natives. Someone who didn't know better would think we were in a life-or-death battle with some terrifying powerhouse in the Chaos. No matter how strange the Little Primordial Star Territory is, what can they do? I don't believe they can cause any trouble. Anyway, I don't have any hope for these guys from the Little Primordial Star Territory."
......
At the same time, in the Little Primordial Star Territory's military camp.
Qin Liang had a smile on his face.
He had to admit that his strategy was truly flawless.
With Qing Qian's assistance, they gave those Saint-level forces in the First Star Ring a resounding blow right from the start.
Qin Liang's only regret was that the blow couldn't have been even stronger.
Then, on second thought, Qin Liang couldn't help but chuckle.
In the end, he was just too greedy.
Having Qing Qian help out this time was already something to be happy about.
Why was he thinking about those messy things?
To take a step back, if Qing Qian hadn't chosen to help, there wouldn't have even been this wonderful kill.
"Indeed, I'm still a bit too eager for success..." Qin Liang thought to himself.
This kind of so-called eagerness for success wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
At most, it would only affect his state of mind.
It wouldn't have any impact on the overall situation...
Qin Lin said to Qing Qian from the side, "Miss Qing Qian's help this time has been a great assistance to us!"
She had already done the work, and even volunteered to do it.
It wouldn't hurt for him to offer some flattery.
It wouldn't do for Qing Qian to do the work and not hear a few kind words.
That would make them seem a bit clueless.
As for benefits? There were none!
The cost of hiring a Saint-level combatant was outrageous.
Even Qin Liang and Qin Lin had to be frugal.
Besides, given their relationship, what was the need for benefits!
They wouldn't mention it, and Qing Qian certainly wouldn't ask for them.
It was all about being thick-skinned...
Qing Qian laughed when she heard Qin Lin's flattery: "You're not planning on giving me any benefits, are you?"
That simple sentence immediately put the atmosphere in an awkward state.
It had to be said that her words hit Qin Liang and Qin Lin right where it hurt.
They really weren't planning on giving any benefits!
Anyway, they had no money and wouldn't give their lives!
Qin Liang explained: "It's not that we're not planning on giving Miss Qing Qian any benefits, it's just that given our relationship, I think mentioning benefits is a bit too vulgar..."
Anyway, he had to say things in a nice way.
It would be best if he could keep Qing Qian from opening her mouth.
Seeing Qin Liang and Qin Lin's performance, Qing Qian immediately thought of their boss...
Back then, Qin Buyi was also such a tightwad!
Like leader, like subordinates.
She was just mentioning the benefits casually.
She had been taken care of in the Little Primordial Star Territory for so many years.
It would make her seem too small-minded to ask for benefits after helping out once.
Besides, even if she really wanted benefits, she couldn't ask Qin Liang and Qin Lin.
Qing Qian didn't care about the material things.
The key was to ask Qin Buyi for some spiritual compensation!
Thinking of Qin Buyi, Qing Qian felt her heart beat faster...
Another three years passed.
During these three years, with Qing Qian's help, the Little Primordial Star Territory's troubles were reduced a lot.
However, in the end, Qing Qian's individual power was still unable to make all the Saints suffocate and stop their actions.
Some Saint-level force leaders secretly gathered together, with the purpose of discussing their next actions.
They couldn't just keep getting stuck at the first step, which was the planning phase...
It was true that the Little Primordial Star Territory was strong, but if they were to give up their actions because of this strength, then what was the point of offending the Little Primordial Star Territory?
Were they just looking for excitement!
"It seems that's really the case. We've offended them too much. How could the Little Primordial Star Territory easily let it go afterward! But now we all have to think about a way out. We can't be too reckless. If something irreversible really happens, we have to be able to guarantee that we can all survive. It's not that easy to be a leader."
"If it were that easy to be a leader, do you think the other Saint-level forces would just sit idly by? They're waiting for the opportunity, and to see if we leaders can really contend with the Little Primordial Star Territory. If we can't contend, they'll probably plan for a few more years. There are also benefits to being a leader."
"Once we take down the Little Primordial Star Territory, based on the current situation, we'll definitely be the ones who benefit the most. It just depends on whether we can make up our minds now! If we can't make up our minds, there's no point in saying anything more, especially when dealing with such a powerful opponent as the Little Primordial Star Territory. Everyone must think clearly."
......
After some discussion, this group of Saint-level forces finally decided to take action.
Perhaps to leave themselves a way out.
Their reason for taking action was to target Qing Qian.
You have to pick the softest persimmon.
It was clearly unwise to fight Qin Buyi, such a tough nut to crack, to the death.
By attacking under the guise of dealing with Qing Qian, they could have a way out if something unexpected happened.
Otherwise, directly blocking all their escape routes from the beginning would be suicide!
The declaration of war from these Saint-level forces was quickly sent to Qin Liang and Qin Lin...
