As long as it was for his own wife and children, even if he had to give up his own life and trade life for life, Qiu Shi wouldn't hesitate for even a second!!!
"Our condition is very simple. You just need to get in touch with Demon King Ye Qiu, figure out where he is, and then report his location to us. That's all."
Then, right at that moment, Qiu heard a faint voice coming from the other end of the call. "According to what we know, you used to be a member of the Demon Corps, and your relationship with Ye Qiu should be pretty good. A few days ago, you even met up with him. I think, for you, this little thing shouldn't be that hard, right?"
"King?!!"
Qiu Shi's pupils shrank slightly. He clearly hadn't expected that the reason the people of the Ouyang Family had kidnapped his wife and daughter was actually to deal with Ye Qiu!
But Qiu Shi quickly remembered that, indeed, Ye Qiu had mentioned before that he was planning to go to Dragon Tiger Mountain to figure out what happened to Phoenix.
And Dragon Tiger Mountain was the turf of the Ouyang Family, so at that time, Ye Qiu had probably had some conflict with the Ouyang Family, and the people of the Ouyang Family wanted to go after Ye Qiu, so they came for him!!!
"What do you want to do to the King?!"
Thinking of this, Qiu Shi couldn't help but question the person on the other end of the line.
"What we want to do isn't important. What's important is whether you want to see your wife and children alive… or see their corpses."
In response to Qiu Shi's questioning, the voice on the other end sounded a bit disdainful. "I think you're a smart man. You should know very well what kind of decision you're supposed to make, right?"
"You've got one day. Do what we said. Otherwise, tonight, you'll be looking at your wife and kids' corpses."
At the end, that threatening voice over the phone was filled with contempt. "Of course, you can also try to resist… if you think you have what it takes to go up against our Ouyang Family."
"Beep…"
With that, the other side hung up. All that came from the phone now was a busy tone.
"Damn it!!!"
Staring at the ended call, Qiu Shi couldn't help but vent his rage. He slammed a fist hard into the wall, grinding his teeth, his eyes burning with pent-up fury.
He'd long heard that many people from the Hidden Clans always put themselves high above the rest, never putting ordinary mortals in their eyes.
But Qiu Shi really hadn't expected that people from the Hidden Clans were not only arrogant in personality, their methods were also this vicious and ruthless!!!
Of course, Qiu Shi couldn't deny that the methods of the Ouyang Family were very effective. They'd successfully threatened him, forcing him now to make a painful, two-way choice!!!
Either betray their King, think of a way to dig out information on Ye Qiu, then report it to the Ouyang Family.
Or watch, with his own eyes, as his wife and children were killed by people of the Ouyang Family!!!
To Qiu Shi, his wife and children, his family, were more important than his own life. There was absolutely no way he could just watch them get hurt!!!
But Ye Qiu was the King he revered, who had saved him more than once on the battlefield. Without Ye Qiu, he'd probably have died on the battlefield long ago. And Ye Qiu had always treated him as a brother.
Because of this, Qiu Shi didn't just respect Ye Qiu; he practically worshipped him. No matter what Ye Qiu asked him to do, he would probably carry it out without hesitation.
To have him betray Ye Qiu… that was something he really couldn't do!!!
No matter which choice he made, it felt worse than killing him!!!
"Ring~!"
Just then, Qiu Shi's phone rang again.
But this time it wasn't a call; it was a message. However, when he picked up the phone and glanced at the message on the screen, Qiu Shi's face instantly turned extremely ugly.
The message contained only one photo, and in that photo were his wife and children, tied up and thrown in the middle of the living room, so scared that they were crying.
And in the lower left corner of the photo, there was a sharp dagger being held by someone. The meaning was very clear: they were reminding Qiu Shi that if they wanted to kill his family, they could do it anytime.
Qiu Shi collapsed weakly into the chair, as if he'd suddenly aged more than ten years. He held his head in his hands, filled with pain.
...
On the other side.
After more than a day of cultivation, most of Ye Qiu's injuries had already healed, and as his injuries recovered, Ye Qiu's cultivation efficiency was also slowly increasing.
Ye Qiu roughly assessed his own condition. He should have recovered to the Peak of King Realm level. At this rate, in about two more days, he could recover to Half-Step Divinity Ascension, and within a week, he could return to the Divine Realm level!!!
Of course, the large-scale damage to the meridians in Ye Qiu's body still hadn't fully healed. To completely repair them might take another week.
And during this period, while his meridians hadn't fully recovered yet, if Ye Qiu forcibly used his power and engaged in intense combat, his meridians would easily fail to withstand it, suffering even worse damage. At that point, it would be even harder to heal!!!
Moreover, even though the backlash from the Dragon Heart no longer caused such intense pain, Ye Qiu knew very well that if he tried to forcibly stimulate the power of the Dragon Heart again, there would definitely be even more severe side effects.
So all in all, what Ye Qiu needed most right now was still more time.
Only if Ye Qiu was given more, enough time, could he recover his strength and have the confidence to deal with the experts of the Ouyang Family and the Murphy Clan who were about to arrive.
However, Ye Qiu also knew very clearly that time was already extremely tight, so he had to speed up and recover his strength as much as possible.
But right at this moment, Ye Qiu's phone screen suddenly lit up.
Someone was calling him.
Frowning slightly, Ye Qiu picked up the phone and glanced at it, discovering that the caller was his former comrade-in-arms, Qiu Shi, whom he'd run into not long ago.
His brow eased a bit. Looking at the lit-up screen, Ye Qiu thought for a moment, then accepted the call.
"King?!"
As soon as the call connected, Ye Qiu heard Qiu Shi's somewhat excited and nervous voice. "Is that you? Are you alright?!"
"Yeah, it's me."
Ye Qiu chuckled and answered Qiu Shi on the other end of the line.
Hearing Ye Qiu's voice, Qiu Shi on the other end seemed to let out a sigh of relief, then spoke worriedly, "That's great. I just heard about the Ouyang Family situation, that they're looking for you. I've been worried about how you're doing right now."
