*Huff huff…* That series of actions had already consumed a large portion of Qin Yichen’s Yuan Energy, leaving him breathless.
However, before Qin Yichen could catch his breath, his face darkened again because he sensed that small black bead was whistling towards him at an extremely fast speed.
[If that thing touches me, it’s over!] Qin Yichen cursed. Just as he was about to dodge, he was stunned.
*Woof!* Because he saw Xiao Bai suddenly leap up and swallow that small black bead in one gulp!
*Puff!* The moment Xiao Bai swallowed the bead, An Chengtian instantly spat out a mouthful of blood. His whole being was completely depressed as he fell to the ground, his face full of shock and disbelief.
*Burp…* After eating the bead, Xiao Bai let out a satisfied burp after a while, and its fur seemed to become even more lustrous.
“What the Hell!?” Qin Yichen’s mouth twitched, and without thinking, he turned and ran away. At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind, [You stupid Dog! To think you actually dare to eat it! If that bead explodes, we are all dead!]
*Woof!* However, what made Qin Yichen even more terrified was that this stupid Xiao Bai actually followed him at an even faster speed! While chasing, it was leisurely wagging its tail, not at all worried that Qin Yichen would shake it off.
“Damn it, Xiao Bai! Stop following me! Hey, there’s a beauty over there! Go and follow her! Please!” Qin Yichen was on the verge of tears. He could only run while pointing at Bian Lingzhu, who was standing at them in a daze.
“…” Hearing Qin Yichen’s shameless words, a row of black lines dropped down Bian Lingzhu’s forehead.
And so, an extremely dramatic scene appeared in the great hall.
An Chengtian, who was originally so smug, was now sitting on the ground with a pale face, looking as if he was just one breath away from becoming a real ‘Death King’.
The beautiful Bian Lingzhu was now standing with an icy glare, watching the man and ‘Dog’ chasing each other frantically in the great hall…
After a while, Qin Yichen seemed to notice something was off. It had been the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, yet Xiao Bai had not blown up. In fact, it did not seem to have any problem at all… and its aura seemed to have become even stronger.
“Hey, you old ghost, what’s going on?” Finally, after checking Xiao Bai over and ordering it to go outside the great hall, Qin Yichen walked to An Chengtian’s side and asked in confusion.
“Impossible, this is impossible…” An Chengtian was still muttering listlessly, his aura extremely weak.
How much effort had he spent to condense that bead!? And it was swallowed in one gulp by a monster that just looked like a Dog but was obviously not a goddamn Dog!
How could he accept this?
Seeing that he would not be getting any answers, Qin Yichen said to Bian Lingzhu over there, “It’s up to you how you want to handle this.”
He did not believe that after this incident, Bian Lingzhu would stand on his side. Still, only by letting her deal with An Chengtian herself would what happened here not be spread outside.
“As for you…” However, seeing Xiao Bai wagging its tail at him, Qin Yichen’s gaze became somewhat solemn and curious. [You’re too strange!]
Being born in the Death Zone was one thing, but swallowing that bead full of Death Energy. Not only did it not cause an explosion, but it seemed to have eaten some kind of tonic. It had clearly gotten stronger, maybe a breakthrough?
Although that aura was only briefly revealed for a moment, Qin Yichen still sensed how strong it was.
[It should be in the Partially Accomplished Spirit Realm! A cultivation realm that was rare, even in the Central Continent.]
It should be known that people like An Chengtian and Zhong Zizhen, with their notorious fame, were only at Peak Stage Spirit Realm and had not stepped into Partially Accomplished Spirit Realm.
However, Qin Yichen still could not understand why it wanted to follow him? What was it about himself that was attracting it to him?
“I’m leaving now, do you want to…” Qin Yichen had just started speaking when Xiao Bai pounced on him, looking as if it was afraid of being left behind.
It really did not want to stay in this dastardly place anymore!
“Okay, okay. Then come with me.” Having a pet at the Partially Accomplished Spirit Realm following him was a nice feeling.
Without a doubt, Qin Yichen was the biggest winner in this Death Zone expedition. Not only did he get the Buddha Lotus, but the Golden Firestorm Sword and the Death Spirit King’s Spirit Pearl. All these treasures fell into his hands.
Satisfied, he set off on his return journey.
As they approached the Death Gate, Xiao Bai clung even more tightly to Qin Yichen, refusing to get down no matter what. Its face full of nervousness made Qin Yichen even more confused.
Perhaps even Qin Yichen himself did not sense that the moment he stepped into the Death Gate, the Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl in his Dantian suddenly trembled, and after a moment, returned to normal.
In that instant, Xiao Bai, which was about to be repelled back, was defended by a Dragon’s might.
All this happened without Qin Yichen’s knowledge, but Xiao Bai felt it.
The moment they left the Death Zone, the Death Energy in the Death Zone stagnated, and many subtle changes occurred in the entire space.
A few rays of sunlight pierced through the thick layers of Death Energy, shining into the Death Zone. It was as if the entire space had lost its core, and collapse was only a matter of time.
As they said, extremes meet, and Xiao Bai was a creature evolved from the essence of this Death Zone. The reason it could not leave was because the entire seal of the Death Zone was targeted at it!
When the Death Zone was in chaos long ago, it had already threatened the stability of the entire Northern Region. A powerful figure descended and suppressed everything, but was unable to eliminate the existence of the Death Zone. They set up a Reversal Array, where death became life. This gave birth to today’s Xiao Bai.
Without a doubt, Xiao Bai was unique in this world. To what extent it could grow, no one knew.
“Central Continent, here I come!” Coming out of the Death Zone, looking into the distance, Qin Yichen finally had the confidence to proceed forward with his next plans.
His Spiritual Energy cultivation had now reached Spirit Realm, his Physique was at the second level Peak Martial Grandmaster Realm. Given time, his Physique breaking through to the Spirit Realm was just around the corner.
With such strength, as long as it was not a Partially Accomplished Spirit Realm expert, even if it was Peak Stage Spirit Realm expert, he was not afraid.
Moreover, he had the Golden Firestorm Sword in hand. The Yuan Energy left behind by the number one swordsman was inside of it. He estimated this Sword Qi was enough for him to use three or four more times.
That was Qin Yichen’s biggest guarantee for going to the Central Continent.
Of course, there was also the seemingly harmless Xiao Bai following him.
Now, Qin Yichen did not dare underestimate it. If this guy went berserk, even a Partially Accomplished Spirit Realm expert might not be able to handle it.
“Have you heard? It seems like a Spirit Realm expert from the An Family had died in a small kingdom. Now, the An Family is sending people to cause trouble for that kingdom…”
When passing through Alliance City, the discussions of some mercenaries made Qin Yichen stop in his tracks, his face instantly darkening.
