Chapter Fifty: Fang City!

  After leaving the island, Qin Yi rode the wind and waves, heading towards the outer reaches of the Misty Bay.

  This time in Misty Bay, Qin Yi's gains far exceeded his expectations.

  Killed the Fishman with Wu Peng, got the Fishman's demon core, which can be exchanged for about 160 merit points. Killed the Extreme Bliss Sect disciples, according to the academy's reward, can get 50 merit points, a mid-grade earth-level weapon, and a Tai Xu Xian Dan. During this period of solo action, the demon cores obtained from killing Fishmen were of extremely high quality and numerous, with over 200-300 heads killed around the island previously. These Fishmen's demon cores can be exchanged for over 1,000 merit points when returned. Additionally, the weapons used by these Fishmen, including some earth-level magic treasures, were all collected by Qin Yi, which can also be exchanged for about 150 merit points.

  Roughly calculated, after returning to the Academy, Qin Yi can get nearly 1,400 points of merit, if not for giving the merit of killing the Fishman Island's leader to Xuan Yuanzi, this number would be even more!

  But even so, such a large amount of merit points would probably make all the disciples who came to do the bounty task green with envy!

  To know that these outer disciples have been in the academy for five or six years, but their contribution points are only three or four points after working hard!

  And Qin Yi's trip to Misty Bay was several hundred times more than theirs!

  And an even greater gain is Qin Yi's strength, which has been upgraded once again!

  This enhancement is not just about one's own cultivation, but also about the increase in the number of magical treasures one has mastered, and the expansion of their influence!

  All of this made Qin Yi feel like a small tree that had finally begun to take root and sprout.

  Rushing back to Tian Sheng College from Misty Bay, at Qin Yi's current speed, it would take about four or five days. The deadline for the college's bounty task is still six or seven days away, so Qin Yi isn't in a hurry. Along the way, he's still searching for any fish people who might have escaped his notice, and with a casual slap of his palm, he kills them and collects their demon cores.

  But after leaving the depths of Fog Bay, Qin Yi had a feeling of being peeped at, which became clearer and clearer.

  Because of his practice of the Eight Extremes Great Method and the Black Python Breaking Void Skill, Qin Yi's strength and perceptual power far surpassed those of cultivators at his own level, and even those who were one realm higher than him couldn't compare to him. So as soon as he felt someone spying on him, Qin Yi immediately raised his guard and hid his true strength.

  But what made Qin Yi feel strange was that he couldn't find the other person's specific whereabouts, and often felt like someone was peeking at him from behind, but when he released his true energy to explore, he ended up with nothing.

  Another day passed, and Qin Yi was certain that he was being stalked. He slowed down his flight speed, deliberately walking slowly on the ground, while pondering in his mind: "This person is either much stronger than me, with incredible hiding abilities; or else they have some special treasure in hand. They've been following me all along without showing up, it seems they don't have good intentions."

  In the Tian Sheng Academy, people who wanted Qin Yi to die were far and near, including Qin Yuwei, Qin Han Zong, Chen Haofeng, and Lei Tian. Qin Yi had not become arrogant enough to completely ignore these people. The mental training he received from his trip to the Misty Bay was now fully revealed, as Qin Yi patiently danced around with his opponent, competing in endurance.

  Another day passed, and Qin Yi deliberately made himself appear flustered when he encountered a few weak fish people. He spent a lot of effort to kill the fish people. As expected, Qin Yi could clearly feel that the person who had been following him was getting impatient.

  According to Qin Yi's calculations, it would take less than a day's work to reach the outermost part of the Misty Bay. At that time, as long as they followed the original route back, they could safely return to the Academy.

  Will today be the day when the stalker reveals himself?!

  He dispersed his true energy, and a glint of light flashed in Qin Yi's eyes. A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he sprinted forward for over 200 steps, passing by a huge boulder. Suddenly, a pungent smell wafted towards him.

  In front of Qin Yi, a giant fish-man with an all-over purple color, whose skin had already ossified, was leaning against the rock.

  This fish man has a ferocious face, with fangs as long as an adult's arm, his whole body is covered in scales that shine like cold light, like the edge of a knife. He is two zhang tall, and every joint on his body is as sharp as a pointed blade. His whole body exudes a bloody killing aura, making people feel chilled to the bone.

  However, this fish man was now covering his abdomen, where fresh blood was gushing out, and even a piece of intestine was exposed outside. The wound was everted, with thick, dark red blood flowing slowly from the gap between his fingers, dripping down.

  "The elite fishman of the second layer of the Jie boundary...” Qin Yi swept a glance at his opponent, a satisfied smile appearing on the corner of his mouth, “The weapon is a low-grade three-pronged spear... very good.”

  This fish-like man must have been surrounded by the students of Tian Sheng College, and after a fierce battle, he escaped. Unfortunately, his luck was bad, and he was discovered by Qin Yi.

  Seeing a living person suddenly appear, the fish man was stunned at first, then bared his teeth and brandished his trident, charging towards Qin Yi.

  "It's you." Qin Yisen smiled suddenly, but the next moment, his expression became extremely flustered and he fled to a distant place.

  To others, Qin Yi was just frantic and being chased by a heavily injured fishman.

  Originally, it only took a light blow to kill the fish man, but Qin Yi deliberately made a busy and chaotic appearance, making people feel that he had used great force and suffered internal injuries. Only then did he snatch the fish man's trident and pin him to the ground.

  "Huff...huff..." Qin Yi panted, gripping the trident tightly. Fresh blood gushed out of the fish-man's body. To others, it seemed that Qin Yi was at his last gasp, but in reality, he was secretly circulating his true energy, observing all six directions with his eyes and listening to all eight directions with his ears. Within a radius of 700 steps, even if there was just a slight ripple on the surface of the sea, it couldn't escape his notice.

  "It hurts, but the fish person's demon core should be relatively pure, and this trident is also a terrestrial-level treasure." Qin Yi deliberately spoke loudly, the trident pierced into the fish person's forehead, lightly lifted, and a blood-colored demon core flew into Qin Yi's palm.

  Qin Yi hadn't even had time to put the fish demon core into his pocket when he heard a series of light clapping sounds coming from behind him.

  "Qin Yi brothers, haven't seen you for many days, your strength has really made great progress, it makes me, as the older brother, truly look at you in a new light."

  "It's out." Qin Yi's smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, and he felt that this voice was particularly familiar. He turned around, and a spark flashed in his eyes, "Fang Cheng, it's you!"

  In front of Qin Yi, the sea surface was like a curtain, lifted by someone, and in the empty space, Fang Cheng and two young disciples stepped out.

  The three of them, each holding a talisman in their hands, the talismans radiating a brilliant glow, spiritual energy surging forth, as Fang Cheng toyed with his talisman, his body flickered and disappeared eerily, like a ghost.

  "It's indeed being followed." Qin Yi glanced at the talisman and guessed about 70-80% of it. The three people from Fang City relied on this talisman to evade his true energy scan.

  Able to evade Qin Yit's true energy probe, this talisman must be incredibly powerful and extremely rare. Fang Cheng using such a talisman to hide and follow himself, obviously had premeditated from the start.

  "Wow, Qin Yi brothers, this time the harvest is not small!" Fang Cheng's face was full of hypocritical surprise, completely ignoring the flash of murderous intent in Qin Yi's eyes. He kept smacking his lips, circling around Qin Yi like a cat playing with a mouse. "I see that Fish Demon Core, at least it can be exchanged for three points of merit. And this Trident, wow! It's actually a top-grade Earthly weapon, you've really made a fortune! I think even our Fang family, the number one family in Yuhua City, only has one inferior Earthly weapon."

  Fang Cheng was like a magic trick, his arm waved, and the light flashed. On his right arm, he wore a arm guard, which was connected by three long knife blades from wrist to elbow joint. The blade edge gleamed with cold light, intimidating people's courage.

  "Turn into day armor." Qin Yi let out a cold hum.

  Qin Yi remembered very clearly that three years ago, the master of the Fang family, who was also Fang Cheng's father, wore this armor and punched his own father in the chest, causing three deep gashes that would never be forgotten by Qin Yi.

  On this rotating arm guard in front of me, there is still my father's fresh blood!

  "What do you want?" Qin Yi looked at Fang Cheng, "Don't tell me, you just happened to meet me."

  "Oh, Qin Yi brother, how can you talk to me like that?" Fang Cheng's face was smiling but not smiling, he waved his hand and the two companions beside him, from two different directions, formed a pincer movement, surrounding Qin Yi.

  "Qin Yi, brother, don't be fooled, I'm now at the second layer of the Jidian realm. You'd better not think about escaping." Fang Cheng looked at Qin Yi with disdain, "Judging from your movements just now, you should have reached the Jixue realm, tsk, tsk, I didn't expect that the young master of the Qin family, who only knew how to spit blood, not only escaped his second uncle's poisonous hands but also eliminated the severe poison in his body. His strength has made a rapid breakthrough."

  "What did you say?" Qin Yi's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, his eyes gleaming like a sharp knife, staring intently at Fang Cheng. His aura was majestic and powerful, bursting out in an overwhelming manner, causing the air to seem to sink in around them. The three people from Fang City couldn't help but feel their breathing pause for a moment.

  Qin Yi also learned about his own poisoning from Jiao Meng's old ancestor, and now Fang Cheng seems to be even clearer than himself!

  That means he is also an insider!

  Associated with the Fang family's struggle for the first place in Yuhua City, they were like fire and water. Later, they agreed to a duel, during which Qin Yi's father suddenly fell ill, while the master of the Fang family "accidentally" killed Qin Yi's father after securing victory. Connecting these events together, a flash of white light appeared in Qin Yi's mind, and he instantly became clear-headed.

  Many obscure truths are now clear!

  All of this is actually a huge conspiracy to collude with foreign tribes, borrow a knife to kill people, and seize the position of the master of the house!
