Chapter 1404: Chapter 1404: No One Can Reach His Heights

The man’s face was full of jealousy, and he sneered, "Isn’t he just being hyped up by others? I’ve been to Sin City before, why have I never heard of him?"

The woman glanced at him and said, "He’s only recently arrived in Sin City but has quickly made a formidable reputation, shocking both the northern and southern states."

The man sneered dismissively, "How long did he take? I could surpass his fame in half the time."

The woman said indifferently, "You will never reach his height."

The man’s eyes turned cold, "What, you look down on me?"

"It’s not looking down, but no one can reach Qin Yi’s height. Can you single-handedly battle the Sword Sect, take down its branch solo, and kill the Second Elder along with eight experts who’ve survived the Heavenly Tribulation twice? Can you destroy the Sin Tower, which has stood for thousands of years?"

The man’s face was full of shock, "Are all these done by Qin Yi?"

The woman coldly laughed, "That’s right, and the key is he’s only in his twenties."

"That’s impossible," the man roared, "Even if he started cultivation in the womb, he couldn’t be so strong in his twenties."

"There are prodigies in this world, this is what Qin Yi said himself. Moreover, what he’s done is known throughout Sin City. You saw earlier how those people were terrified at the mention of Qin Yi’s name. Do you think I’m lying?"

The man’s gaze turned vicious, filled with fear and jealousy toward Qin Yi.

The woman sharply said, "Now is not the time for this. Hua Nian somehow knows Qin Yi, which complicates things. With Qin Yi’s current fame, which commands Sin City, no one dares to touch someone he protects. We must figure out how to intercept Hua Nian and use her to lure out the little demon."

"I’ll go; those people earlier were useless. I’ll go snatch Hua Nian back."

The woman shook her head, "No, our identities must not be exposed. Especially since Hua Nian knows Qin Yi. Otherwise, we fear we won’t return alive to the Elf Clan."

The man’s gaze was vicious, "I don’t believe Qin Yi is a God. If given the chance, I must test him. Even if my cultivation isn’t equal, I won’t lose in terms of wisdom."

The woman’s eyes flashed with disdain but said no more: If Qin Yi, so young with unfathomable cultivation, had no brains, could he have reached this point?

"Let’s go find War Tiger Sect; they only recognize money. Hopefully, they can stop that wretch Hua Nian before we meet."

The man nodded, "Alright, let’s first use those fools from War Tiger Sect. If they fail, I’ll step in personally."

The two figures flashed and disappeared into the darkness.

...

Meanwhile, Jia Siwen and others were taking Hua Nian to meet Qin Yi.

The distance to Yunfeng Inn was not close.

Two hours later, they were finally near Yunfeng Inn.

Jia Siwen and others breathed a sigh of relief, truly worried about any mishaps en route. An elf’s price was too tempting; once Hua Nian’s identity was exposed, it would bring endless trouble. They were not Qin Yi and might not be able to protect Hua Nian.

However, just as they breathed a sigh of relief, they suddenly halted.

Ahead, a few figures emerged from the darkness, blocking their path.

There were about ten people, tall and muscular, with bare torsos displaying bulging muscles like rocks, wearing fine steel tiger claws on their hands that glittered coldly.

The pocked face said nervously, "Oh no, it’s the War Tiger Sect."

Only War Tiger Sect people dressed so barbarically.

Jia Siwen said, "Don’t panic yet; War Tiger Sect people probably don’t know Hua Nian Fairy is sought by Qin Yi. If they knew, no matter how strong, they wouldn’t dare offend Qin Yi."

"You guys protect Hua Nian Fairy; I’ll go up to talk."

"Jia Siwen, be careful. War Tiger Sect people are always aggressive."

Jia Siwen nodded slightly, about to step forward, but his face suddenly changed as War Tiger Sect members suddenly attacked silently and swiftly.

Jia Siwen and others’ faces changed drastically. They shouted, "Protect Miss Hua Nian!"

As the words fell, Jia Siwen shouted again, "Brothers from War Tiger Sect, stop, she is..."

Before he could finish, layers of claw shadows tore through the air toward him, leaving him no chance to speak, forcing him to swing his Bone Breaking Fan at the claw shadows.

"Boom!"

A storm swept, Jia Siwen screamed, shoulder cut deep with three bone-revealing scars, nearly disabled, and flung away.

War Tiger Sect members were extremely fierce.

Jia Siwen and others’ cultivation was only Nascent Soul Realm, but War Tiger Sect dispatched Divine Separation Stage experts with numerous members. One face-to-face encounter, Jia Siwen and others had no chance to retaliate, all severely injured and knocked down.

Luckily, War Tiger Sect folks didn’t linger in battle, nor killed Jia Siwen and others, restrained Hua Nian, and vanished into the dark.

After War Tiger Sect people left, Qi Refiners slowly surrounded not to rescue Jia Siwen, but to take advantage, kill, and loot.

Jia Siwen severely injured, struggled to sit up, seeing the surrounding people closing in, malicious gazes tightened his heart, he shouted, "What do you want? I warn you, we’re working for Qin Yi, Young Master Qin. Anyone unafraid of death, come forward."

Encroaching footsteps halted, eyes flickered, as if doubting whether Jia Siwen’s words were true.

If Jia Siwen’s people connected to Qin Yi, they dare not touch with any amount of courage. If not, they’d unhesitatingly attack, kill, and loot all possessions.

Jia Siwen thought quickly, shouted, "Young Master Qin is at Yunfeng Inn, anyone who brings him here, I’ll reward with a hundred gold coins." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

People’s eyes flickered, beginning to believe Jia Siwen. If he lied, how dare he summon Qin Yi?

"Please wait, I’ll go now." Someone smart saw, darted towards Yunfeng Inn. Instead of killing to loot with risk, why not run an errand and earn a hundred gold coins.

When others reacted, that person already vanished.

...

It was deep into the night, Xiaoyezi lay sleeping soundly in bed while Qin Yi sat cross-legged beside, cultivating.

Suddenly, Qin Yi opened his eyes as someone approached his door.

Sure enough, soon urgent knocking echoed.

Qin Yi frowned slightly, under Divine Thought, outside scene vividly imprinted in his mind. Outside, a small-statured middle-aged Qi Refiner, cultivation not high, one hand gripping the attendant’s neck, another knocking the door.

"Excuse me, could this be Young Master Qin inside? I have urgent matters, seeking Young Master Qin’s audience."

A voice sounded outside, loud enough to wake Xiaoyezi, making Qin Yi frown involuntarily.
