Chapter 137: Chapter 137: Lending Your Head

Duan Yiyi looked at Qin Yi dumbfoundedly, completely not understanding what he was saying?

But just then, a loud whistle echoed from afar.

Duan Yiyi suddenly realized, "So it was a signal!"

Qin Yi nodded slightly.

In less than three minutes, the trees shook, and the branches swayed.

Duan Yiyi focused her eyes and saw a figure leaping among the tree trunks, like a nimble monkey.

Finally, this person jumped down from the tree and stood cautiously about ten meters away, looking at Qin Yi and Duan Yiyi.

The opponent was thin and lean, with sunken cheeks and deep eye sockets.

Just from his appearance, it was obvious he was from the Blood Evil Sect.

However, his cultivation wasn’t bad, in the Qi Cultivation Late Stage.

"Who are you?" The other person’s voice was hoarse, like metal scraping, making one feel uncomfortable.

Qin Yi slightly raised the corner of his mouth, "By the order of Elder Xue Chen, we are here to deliver something to Vice Sect Leader Xue Li."

Saying this, Qin Yi took out a vial of blood from his mouth.

"This is the Heart Essence Blood of a Foundation Establishment Stage expert."

The opponent stared intently at the blood in Qin Yi’s hand, licking his chapped lips with a crimson tongue, full of greed.

"Hand it over to me!"

Qin Yi put the blood away. If he really handed it over, it would surely blow his cover; it was just red ink he prepared last night.

"Elder Xue Chen instructed that this Essence Blood must be personally handed over to the Vice Sect Leader!"

The opponent looked coldly at Qin Yi and Duan Yiyi.

"You two aren’t from our Blood Evil Sect?"

Qin Yi said indifferently, "Elder Xue Chen is being watched by the Duan Family and can’t come himself. If we safely deliver this vial of blood to the Vice Sect Leader, we will be Blood Evil Sect members."

The opponent stared coldly at Qin Yi and remained silent for a long time.

Duan Yiyi nervously clenched her fist.

Qin Yi, however, looked at the opponent expressionlessly.

"Follow me!"

Suddenly, the opponent spoke.

Qin Yi and Duan Yiyi followed the opponent heading south.

After walking for over ten minutes, they stopped at the north side of Tiger Roar Mountain.

Qin Yi looked around, wild grass was everywhere, thorns were scattered, and there wasn’t a single bird in sight, let alone people.

"Keep up!" The opponent said and then disappeared into the grass.

Qin Yi hurriedly pulled Duan Yiyi along to follow, pushing through the wild grass to realize there was a hidden world behind.

At the foot of the mountain, there was a stone cave.

The opponent glanced back at Qin Yi and Duan Yiyi before walking in directly.

Qin Yi and Duan Yiyi hesitated slightly before following in.

The cave wasn’t large, no taller than one meter eight, so Qin Yi had to stoop.

From the cave walls, there were no signs of artificial carving, indicating the cave was formed naturally.

Qin Yi originally thought the cave would be long, but unexpectedly, after walking just two or three minutes, it opened up.

It turned out that entering through the cave led to a massive underground world, resembling an underground palace.

This underground palace was as large as a football field, with the ground paved with bluestone bricks, most of which were cracked, hinting at its age.

Weird fierce beast patterns were carved on the stone walls, but they were mottled, making it hard to discern their original appearance.

Huge stone pillars were scattered all over the ground, and many half-standing pillars remained upright.

On the walls surrounding the cave, every few meters, there was an oil lamp that looked like it was made of bronze, indicating it had been here for some time.

Qin Yi realized, it seemed like an underground tomb.

Duan Yiyi tugged at Qin Yi’s sleeve, somewhat nervous. The dimness and eerie coldness of the surroundings were indeed quite frightening.

The person leading the way advanced straight ahead without looking back.

Qin Yi’s eyes flickered slightly, noticing no less than ten Qi Refinement experts hidden around the surroundings.

It was said that Qi Refiners were one in ten thousand, yet he’d been encountering them frequently lately, almost like they were as common as cabbages by the roadside.

Qin Yi fixed his gaze ahead; not far from him, there was a large stone platform, somewhat resembling an altar.

On the altar lay a huge stone coffin.

The person leading them suddenly stopped, bowed with clenched fists, "Vice Sect Leader, Elder Xue Chen has sent people."

"What’s the matter?"

A cold and eerie voice resonated from the stone coffin.

Duan Yiyi moved closer to Qin Yi in nervousness.

"Elder Xue Chen sent the Heart Essence Blood of a Foundation Establishment Stage expert."

The cold voice from the stone coffin echoed again, "Heart Essence Blood of a Foundation Establishment Stage expert? Elder Nine indeed handles matters better than Elder Ten. Coincidentally, I’m at a breakthrough point, and this Essence Blood will come in handy."

The person who brought Qin Yi walked to him, reaching out a hand.

Qin Yi placed the vial of blood into his hand.

That person respectfully held the vial with both hands and walked to the stone coffin. A hand, dry like a ghost’s claw, reached out, grabbed the blood, and retracted.

Qin Yi’s lips curved slightly, revealing a trace of a sinister smile.

"Audacious! How dare you mock me?"

Suddenly, a sharp and terrifying howl erupted from the stone coffin, echoing through the underground palace.

Immediately, a figure flew out from the stone coffin.

Qin Yi narrowed his eyes and saw this guy had skin pale as a ghost, thin as a bamboo pole, and his black robe hung loosely... like a skeleton draped in a robe.

Especially his eyes, like two black holes, seemingly without eyeballs, looking very eerie.

"Dear Husband, he’s so frightening, I’m scared to death."

Duan Yiyi quickly hid behind Qin Yi, clinging tightly to his waist, her face pressed against his chest.

Qin Yi rolled his eyes in speechlessness, wasn’t she scared? Clearly, she was taking advantage of him. Annoyed, he pushed her small head, but Duan Yiyi held on tightly and didn’t let go.

"Oh, don’t push me, I’m scared!"

Three black lines appeared on Qin Yi’s forehead.

"Who are you to mock me?" Xue Li screeched, flinging the vial of blood out of his hand. It shattered against a stone pillar, leaving a red stain.

Qin Yi smiled faintly, "I’m here to borrow something from you."

"What do you want to borrow?"

Qin Yi said, "Your head!"

"You’re courting death! How dare you humiliate our Vice Sect Leader." The Blood Evil Sect disciple who brought Qin Yi screamed and charged at Qin Yi.

Qin Yi was about to act but saw Duan Yiyi release him, swing the qin case off her back, and pull out the blade inside, not even connected to the handle, swinging it out for a slash.

Razor-sharp saber energy shot out, directly slashing towards the opponent.

The opponent dodged, and with a snap, the saber energy cracked the bluestone slab on the ground.

"You can’t bully my dear husband."

Duan Yiyi, in a fierce yet adorable manner, quickly clicked the saber handle into place, carried the big saber, and charged at the opponent.

The opponent roared in anger, with a swoosh, drawing a chilling longsword.

Duan Yiyi spun in mid-air, slashing down with the saber, the saber energy howled, tearing through the air with astonishing might.

The opponent blocked with his sword!

With a clang, sparks flew as the saber struck the sword without any flourish, and the force rippled outward like waves.
