The Underground Palace: An Important Clue!

Wang Qiang and Zhang Qingcheng stopped in front of Qin Yi and the others.

Wang Qiang snorted coldly and said, "We've finally found you."

"However, you don't need to be nervous. I'm always easy to talk to. The three of you just need to each bring out twenty Blood Demon Cult warrior tokens."

"Do as I say, and not only will I not make things difficult for you, I'll even take you to pull off a big heist!"

As he spoke, the power fluctuations of Wang Qiang's top-grade silver core fifth level cultivation level had already spread out.

Although he appeared very assertive in front of Qin Yi, he did not dare to underestimate Qin Yi. At this moment, even his berserk bloodline was already stirring.

Zhang Qingcheng, who was standing next to him and possessed the cultivation of a fourth-level high-grade silver core and was skilled in illusion techniques, had already made a hand seal gesture.

"Let's pull off a big heist?" Qin Yi asked, intrigued. "How big?"

Wang Qiang said, "I discovered a tunnel in the Blood Mist Swamp. That tunnel connects to an underground palace, which contains the Blood Demon Cult's treasures."

"I think the three of you are very suitable to be my right-hand men."

"But if you want me to take you along, you'd better show some sincerity first!"

Zhang Qingcheng added, "Senior Brother Wang and I don't want all of your gains. We're even willing to share opportunities with you because we're all disciples of Tianxuan Palace. You'd better be sensible."

Yun Meng'er said, "You don't dare to take it all, because you're afraid of pushing us too far and then resorting to violence."

"As for sharing the opportunity? Regardless of whether it's true or not, even if it is, you discovered the Blood Demon Cult's treasure but didn't go to take it, and are still wandering around outside. Obviously, it's because you're not confident you can go in. To put it nicely, you want to find helpers; to put it bluntly, you want to find cannon fodder."

"So, there's no need for such hypocritical platitudes here!"

Wang Qiang and Zhang Qingcheng were exposed by Yun Meng'er, and both of them looked embarrassed.

Immediately afterward, Wang Qiang snorted coldly, "Since you're unwilling to cooperate, then forget it. I won't force you. Junior Brother Zhang, let's go!"

After saying that, Wang Qiang made a gesture as if he was about to turn around and leave.

But in the next instant, Zhang Qingcheng's hands suddenly formed a hand seal.

A hazy, dreamlike light swept out, engulfing Qin Yi, Yun Meng'er, and Wang Chong.

At this moment, Qin Yi felt that his surroundings had completely changed. He had returned to the dark and sunless Qin family dungeon, next to a stone platform covered in bloodstains.

He saw his younger self lying on the stone platform.

Qin Cang stood at the edge of the stone platform, bent two fingers, and then gouged out the eyes of young Qin Yi, who was lying on the stone platform.

At this time.

Just as Wang Qiang was about to leave, he smiled and said to Zhang Qingcheng, "Junior Brother Zhang, our understanding is growing stronger."

Zhang Qingcheng laughed, "I thought these two Golden Core cultivators would be difficult to deal with, but it seems I was overthinking it. So what if they're Golden Core cultivators? They still lost to my illusion technique!"

Before Zhang Qingcheng's laughter had subsided, a cold shout rang out from the hazy, dreamlike light: "You're definitely overthinking it!"

The next moment, within the dreamlike, hazy light, a howling wind and thunderous roar arose.

A sword aura imbued with wind and thunder erupted, directly tearing apart Zhang Qingcheng's illusionary light!

The wind and thunder sword energy slashed fiercely towards Zhang Qingcheng.

Zhang Qingcheng's pupils contracted, and his face turned pale. He had no time to defend or dodge and took the full force of the wind and thunder sword energy.

"what!"

Zhang Qingcheng screamed in agony as his body flew backward like a kite with a broken string.

Of the people around him, only Wang Qiang managed to dodge; the others were all blown away by the aftershocks of the wind and thunder sword energy.

At this moment, Yun Meng'er immediately woke up.

However, it took Wang Chong three breaths before the blank look in his eyes finally disappeared.

"You...you didn't fall for my illusion..."

Zhang Qingcheng, lying on the ground, cried out in pain, his face filled with disbelief.

His chest was cleaved open, and blood was gushing out; his injuries were quite severe.

Qin Yi's expression was icy as he said, "Your illusions are nothing but child's play in my eyes!"

He was under an illusion, but in his mental world, the golem trembled and shattered the illusion.

"snort!"

"Looks like I'll have to take action myself!"

Wang Qiang's face turned ashen. He had originally planned to use Zhang Qingcheng's illusion technique to deal with the situation and save his energy.

Unexpectedly, it turned out this way.

The next moment, the power of Wang Qiang's berserk bloodline was unleashed!

In an instant, flames, as if burning with vital energy, rose from the surface of Wang Qiang's body.

His already imposing physique swelled even larger.

Her long hair danced wildly.

Upon seeing this, Yun Meng'er immediately prepared to form a hand seal and release a celestial talisman to enhance Qin Yi's power.

"Need not."

"Just a piece of trash."

"I can handle it myself."

Qin Yi's voice rang out, his tone showing that he didn't take Wang Qiang seriously at all.

Wang Qiang roared, "Qin Yi, do you look down on me?"

"Once my berserk bloodline is activated, it's equivalent to a low-grade Dao Body!"

"How dare you look down on me?"

"You'll pay!"

As soon as Wang Qiang finished speaking, he stomped his foot hard on the ground!

"boom!"

A huge crater was blasted out beneath his feet, and the ground shook.

His body charged towards Qin Yi like a ferocious wild beast.

He swung his right arm, and a fist imprint the size of a small mountain formed on the surface of his clenched fist, which slammed fiercely toward Qin Yi.

Qin Yi remained indifferent as he charged towards Wang Qiang's incoming fist imprint, thrusting his sword swiftly. The sharp blade pierced into the mountain-like fist imprint in an instant.

Thunder and fire sword intent merge!

A sword light, interwoven with thunder and flames, suddenly burst forth.

Wang Qiang's Mountain Fist Imprint was instantly blasted into countless fragments.

Wang Qiang's body was also shot backward, his face full of shock. He had thought that with his berserk bloodline and the cultivation of the fifth level of the top-grade silver core, he would be able to suppress Qin Yi.

As a result, Qin Yi easily broke through his strongest burst with a single sword strike.

Wang Qiang felt a chill run down his spine.

Qin Yi had disappeared from his sight.

The next moment, the hairs on his body stood on end as he sensed a sharp, piercing aura appearing behind him.

But by the time they realized it, it was too late!

"puff!"

A blood-stained sword tip pierced his chest.

Using the Wind Shadow Step, Qin Yi circled behind Wang Qiang, drew his sword, and kicked Wang Qiang in the back.

Wang Qiang's body fell to the ground with a thud.

"this one?"

Qin Yi chuckled.

Wang Qiang's whole body convulsed; extreme fear erupted within him.

He unleashed his berserk bloodline, but not only could he not overpower Qin Yi, he was instantly suppressed by Qin Yi...

Next, Wang Chong tied Wang Qiang, Zhang Qingcheng, and the others together and then took all their tokens.

A total of 152 tokens.

All together, they don't even have as much as Qin Yi alone.

And this is the result of five days of hard work by two specially recruited geniuses from Tianxuan Palace, along with a few underlings!

According to the distribution method proposed by Wang Chong himself, Qin Yi would get 60% of the 152 tokens, Yun Meng'er would get 30%, and Wang Chong would get 10%.

After distributing the tokens, Qin Yi stared at Wang Qiang and the others who were tied up and sitting on the ground, and asked, "Is the matter of that underground palace true?"

Wang Qiang snorted, unwilling to answer, but when he noticed Qin Yi's gaze turn extremely cold, he trembled violently and hurriedly said, "It's true!"

"I discovered it by accident..."

"But I feel it's dangerous inside, and I'm too scared to go in. So I want to gather more people and go in to see what's going on..."

"Where is it?" Qin Yi pressed.

In the Blood Mist Swamp, a special power lurks in the shadows, devouring the blood of the dead.

Qin Yi had always wanted to find those places where blood converged.

Perhaps the underground palace that Wang Qiang discovered will be a useful clue!

Qin Yi has advanced one realm in the past few days by killing Blood Demon Cult warriors.

If we can find those places where blood converges, our cultivation level will definitely increase greatly!
