Inside the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce.
Finally, after Little Ling’er went to sleep, the Sky Reaching Behemoth was temporarily liberated.
“You wretched boy, how dare you trap me like this!?” The Sky Reaching Behemoth’s voice trembled, wishing it could swallow Qin Yichen in one bite.
However, even with its limited intelligence, it knew harming Qin Yichen would definitely bring about dire consequences. Ones in which it would not be able to bear!
Qin Yichen rubbed his nose bridge. [This wasn’t a deliberate trap, you know?]
“Xiao Bai, come here…” He beckoned, calling over Xiao Bai who had been staring at the Sky Reaching Behemoth. “I didn’t deceive you.”
The Sky Reaching Behemoth fell silent.
The two Demonic Beasts faced each other.
They could both feel that blood connection between them.
“Come back to the Black Demon Mountain Range with me…” The Sky Reaching Behemoth spoke, its voice filled with excitement.
However, Xiao Bai firmly shook its head.
What was there to do back in the Black Demon Mountain Range? Continue being the Beast King of the Thousand Mist Empire?! It was a descendant of the noble Black Qilin. How could it be content with staying in such a small territory?
Moreover, the Thousand Mist Empire could not give it what it wanted.
Only Qin Yichen!
This was why it was willing to stay here.
That boy had the aura of a True Dragon!
From that moment, it had decided to follow Qin Yichen.
“We were originally one. Why won’t you return with me?” The Sky Reaching Behemoth was completely bewildered.
Xiao Bai could not be bothered to explain, merely saying flatly, “Do you really think you can leave?”
At this moment, the Sky Reaching Behemoth remembered that Rakshasi who wildly rode on its back.
“Boy, you’ve ruined me…” The Sky Reaching Behemoth’s roar echoed throughout the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce.
Then, it also got a new, ‘cool’ name… Xiao Hei!
Xiao Bai, Xiao Hei… (Little White and Little Black)
They were really being kept as pets now.
At noon.
*Bang!*
With a huge sound, the gates of the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce were kicked to pieces.
“Aren’t those people from the An Family?”
“*Siiii…* did the An Family really connect with that Family from Twilight City?”
“Looks like the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce is doomed this time.”
This disturbance immediately drew many people’s attention. After all, every move of the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce now affected many people’s nerves.
However, many people also headed toward the Zhao Family.
At this time, all the Millennial Families had already returned from the third defensive line.
The Zhao Family, Bian Family, and even the Millennial Lu Family, upon receiving the news, immediately brought people to rush toward the Soaring Joy Chamber Of Commerce.
This was Qin Yichen’s power.
The disturbance at the entrance quickly drew a response from those inside.
Walking in front were Qin Yichen, Ye Liangchen, and Zhao Ritian.
Little Ling’er rode the miniaturized Sky Reaching Behemoth with Xiao Bai beside her, following behind the three, looking quite imposing as they approached.
“Naughty Xiao Hei, not obedient at all. Not even half as good as Xiao Bai.” Riding on the Sky Reaching Behemoth, the little girl grumbled, occasionally giving the Sky Reaching Behemoth – no, Xiao Hei – a knock on the head.
The Sky Reaching Behemoth’s wild nature was hard to tame. Actually, staying this docile here was already quite remarkable.
However, Little Ling’er did not care about any of that. In her mind, Xiao Hei was probably just another pet ‘Cat’.
“You thief, how dare you show your face!? Quickly hand over what belongs to the Li Family!” Seeing Qin Yichen, An Cangye immediately berated him, trying to seize the initiative.
*Hehe.* Qin Yichen’s lips curled in a cold smile, completely ignoring him and instead fixing his gaze on the unfamiliar Elder.
He sensed from this Elder the same overwhelming aura he had only felt from Yang Quan.
This meant this Elder was an expert beyond the Spirit Realm!
Qin Yichen knew about the Li Family of Twilight City. They were indeed a behemoth of the Grand Empire, and one of the Four Great Families of Twilight City.
The Li Family’s power was undisputable.
In the Grand Empire, probably only the other Three Great Families of Twilight City dared to offend them.
“So you’re the thief?” The Li Family Elder’s gaze naturally fell on Qin Yichen, his opening words carrying an impatient tone. “Return all the Compound Pill Formulas, and perhaps I’ll spare your miserable life!”
“What if I don’t?” Glancing at the dejected-looking Xiao Hei, Qin Yichen still wore a faint smile.
“You won’t?!” A wave of killing intent immediately spread from the Li Family Elder’s body, shattering all the surrounding ornamental trees and plants. His gloomy voice emerged, “Do you want to die?”
“Master, please wait!” At this moment, the Zhao Family Patriarch arrived first, accompanied by ten Zhao Family Elders. Clearly, he had come prepared to confront the Li Family Elder.
“I am Zhao Bowen, Patriarch of the Zhao Family, greetings to the Li Family Elder.”
Though his tone was polite, he stood with his people on Qin Yichen’s side. His actions told everyone that the Zhao Family would protect Qin Yichen!
“The Zhao Family?” The Li Family Elder’s eyes narrowed slightly, falling on the noble badge on Zhao Bowen.
That was the symbol of a noble, and not just any noble. It was the symbol of a Baron of the Grand Empire.
“Considering your Ancestors’ contributions to the Grand Empire, I’ll overlook this offense. Step aside – I need to handle some private Li Family business!”
His brows furrowed slightly, his voice very deep, directly warning Zhao Bowen not to be foolish.
“Elder must be mistaken.” Zhao Bowen did not back down, instead saying, “Regarding Qin Yichen’s Compound Pill, the Thousand Mist Alchemy Peak has already certified it as Qin Yichen’s own development. This is known to all the people of the Thousand Mist Empire. If the Compound Pill truly belonged to the Li Family, Elder need not make such a show of force – you need only explain this to the Alchemy Central, and they will naturally handle this matter.”
The Alchemy Central was the headquarters for all Alchemy Masters in the Grand Empire.
Zhao Bowen’s meaning was clear – he was telling the Li Family Elder that the Alchemy Central likely already knew about the Compound Pill. Would the Li Family risk the World of Alchemy’s fury with such forceful robbery?
Even as one of the Four Great Families of Twilight City, they needed to carefully consider this.
Immediately, the Li Family Elder’s expression changed. He turned slightly, glancing at An Cangye.
Clearly, though news of Qin Yichen had spread throughout the Thousand Mist Empire, it had not reached Twilight City.
But now, the Li Family Elder was in an awkward position.
Would he have to take back his own words? Would he have to admit before everyone that he was the robber?
He could not bear to lose so much face.
Moreover, the temptation of the Compound Pill was too great. If the Li Family could possess the Compound Pill, their power could rise another level.
“Hmph! Why should Li Family matters be resolved by the Alchemy Central? Are you saying my Li Family can’t handle a mere thief?” The Li Family Elder snorted coldly, his aura directly locking onto Qin Yichen.
