Chapter 419, Blocked Path

“Where did you get this Pill from?”

 

As soon as she opened her eyes, Lan Xinyu could not help but impatiently ask. However, right after the words left her mouth, a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face.

 

This Pill was basically an additional lifeline for a Martial King. Yet, someone had generously given her this Pill and she was so rudely inquiring about such matters. It did indeed seem somewhat presumptuous.

 

However, Qin Yichen was not bothered by this. He shrugged his shoulders and pointed at himself.

 

“You were the one that made it?” Upon seeing Qin Yichen’s gesture, Lan Xinyu’s pupils contracted.

 

However, in the depths of her eyes, a subtle look flashed past, clearly showing that she did not believe him.

 

The Pill she had just taken had restored a large portion of her Spiritual Energy and Yuan Energy in just a quarter of an hour! Such a Pill must have been created by a true Alchemy Master. How could it possibly be made by a mere eighteen or nineteen-year-old youth?

 

However, this thought only flashed through Lan Xinyu’s mind; she did not voice it. Even if he was trying to get her attention by saying so, there was no need for her to expose him.

 

After all, after today, she would not have any more interaction with this youth. He had helped her so much, so she should at least give him some face.

 

Although Lan Xinyu had hidden that subtle look in her eyes, the sharp-eyed Qin Yichen still noticed. However, he had no intention of explaining or arguing about her doubts.

 

“Let’s leave…” Qin Yichen pondered for a moment before saying.

 

“En.” Lan Xinyu glanced at Qin Yichen and nodded, then her delicate body transformed into a streak of red light, flying across the horizon.

 

Seeing this, Qin Yichen shook his head, then his figure darted forward, also transforming into a beam of rainbow light, heading outside. Since the whole Array had been broken, there were no longer any obstacles on their way out.

 

At their full speed, it took them just over a quarter of an hour to pass through Heaven’s Destiny Forbidden Area.

 

“Stop!” Just as the two were about to fly out of the range of Heaven’s Destiny Forbidden Area, an angry shout echoed like a thunderclap.

 

Qin Yichen frowned and looked toward the source of the shout. He could see a green figure standing majestically in the distant sky, with a powerful aura continuously emanating from around him.

 

“Qiu Jizhuo?” Looking at that figure, Qin Yichen could not help but frown.

 

“Hand over everything you obtained in the ancient temple.” Qiu Jizhuo’s sharp gaze swept over Qin Yichen and Lan Xinyu, with killing intent flowing in his gloomy voice.

 

Lan Xinyu frowned, and the Yuan Energy around her suddenly began to surge.

 

“Hehe, to be able to escape unscathed from the suppression of such a monster. It seems like you do have some ability.” Seeing Lan Xinyu’s movement, a trace of apprehension flashed in Qiu Jizhuo’s eyes. However, this time, he did not retreat. Instead, he stepped forward, and an exceptionally powerful aura burst forth like a flood – Peak of the Mid Stage Martial King Realm!

 

Such advanced cultivation clearly showed that Qiu Jizhuo had received plenty of opportunities in Heaven’s Destiny Forbidden Area!

 

“That monster didn’t finish you off, but now your strength is probably not at its peak, right?” Qiu Jizhuo sneered and taunted Lan Xinyu.

 

“Why don’t you try and find out?” Lan Xinyu’s beautiful face was as cold as ice, and her calm voice drifted out. However, this simple sentence made Qiu Jizhuo’s eyes flash with apprehension again, and even his figure could not help but retreat a little.

 

“Hmph!” As if realising that he was being too wary of her, Qiu Jizhuo snorted and waved his arm, causing a surge of Yuan Energy to rise to the sky.

 

*Boom!* This surge of Yuan Energy exploded in mid-air like fireworks, and as it burst, a series of wind-breaking sounds suddenly echoed.

 

*Swoosh! Swoosh!*

 

Within just a few breaths, eight figures had appeared behind Qiu Jizhuo. Eight Martial Kings! It seemed that Qiu Jizhuo had paid quite a price to deal with Lan Xinyu.

 

“Yi Jian, Mu Xuan, Xue Xiongdao…” Upon seeing the three figures at the front, Qin Yichen’s eyes could not help but narrow.

 

Behind Yi Jian, Mu Xuan, and Xue Xiongdao, the five other figures all had a special mark on their robes… Northern Depths Sect!

 

“Looks like we’re in trouble…” Qin Yichen frowned. Qiu Jizhuo had advanced in cultivation and had brought so many helpers.

 

Although Lan Xinyu had taken the Pill he made, she had yet to fully recover. If she were to forcefully fight now, it would definitely cause significant damage to her body.

 

*Swoosh! Swoosh!* In the stone forest below, figures were also flashing by, clearly showing that many experts had noticed the commotion here and had come to watch the excitement.

 

“Do you think these few people are enough to stop me?” Lan Xinyu’s gaze swept over the nine figures before her as she calmly spoke. Her words contained great pride. This was the confidence of a Heavenly Martial Artist!

 

“Why don’t you try and find out?” Qiu Jizhuo also sneered, unwilling to show any weakness.

 

In an instant, the atmosphere in the sky suddenly became tense.

 

Qin Yichen sighed, his expression extremely grave. What would follow would probably be a hard battle. Moreover, after witnessing Lan Xinyu’s strength, Qiu Jizhuo still dared to block their way, which meant he must have great confidence. It was probably not as simple as the eight Martial Kings here.

 

[If there aren’t any more experts hiding behind the scenes, then Qiu Jizhuo must have a trump card that could threaten a Heavenly Martial Artist!]

 

“Siiii… Isn’t that the woman who repelled Qiu Jizhuo earlier?”

 

“Daring to fight with Qiu Jizhuo for treasure. It seems like they’re doomed!”

 

As figures flashed below, a series of clamorous voices rose up.

 

Originally, Qin Yichen and the others did not care about the words from the crowd below. However, the next sentence from a certain person made Qin Yichen’s face suddenly darken.

 

“That young man! He’s the one who took the Mortality Flower!”

 

This sentence was not concealed at all, and as those words fell, many gazes turned toward Qin Yichen, who was originally just a supporting character.

 

[Damn it…] Qin Yichen’s mouth twitched. He had originally wanted to find an opening to withdraw, but it seemed impossible now because he noticed that Qiu Jizhuo’s gaze was also locked onto him.

 

“Mortality Flower… you damn thief! Stealing my Mortality Flower! Hurry up and hand it over!” Qiu Jizhuo took a deep breath, cold light flashing in his eyes. The Mortality Flower was something he wanted to use to curry favour with the Supreme Elder!

 

In fact, compared to the treasure Lan Xinyu had obtained, he was more interested in getting the Mortality Flower!
