Chapter 289: Chapter 289: Going Back on Your Word

"Thank you for showing mercy!"

Xue Wuchang was filled with excitement, bowed deeply to Qin Yi, and then turned to leave.

However, just as he turned around, a sharp whistling sound pierced through the air.

A chill swept over Xue Wuchang, he couldn’t even turn around in time. The air currents surged around him as he raised his sword to defend!

Thud!

A head flew over ten meters, blood gushing from the severed neck over a meter high. Xue Wuchang’s body fell to the ground, kicking up dust, blood pouring out, staining the ground red, and the sword in his hand broke into several pieces.

A powerful Great Perfection Foundation Establishment cultivator was directly beheaded.

Even though there was an element of surprise in Qin Yi’s attack, even in a face-to-face confrontation, Xue Wuchang couldn’t withstand a single blow from Qin Yi. His death was inevitable.

Qin Yi’s eyes were cold and indifferent, with a slight curl at the corner of his mouth.

The miscarriage of his and Xia Yanbing’s child was due to his soft-heartedness, which gave the enemy a chance to retaliate. He would never allow the same thing to happen again.

Though he promised not to kill Xue Wuchang, Qin Yi still did. He felt no guilt about it. Promises depend on who they’re made to. What right did Xue Wuchang have to demand his promise?

Breaking a promise, so what? Compared to the safety of those around him, it was insignificant!

When Lan Jiaojiao and Lei Xiao arrived, they saw Xue Wuchang’s decapitated body.

Lei Xiao’s eyes were terrified, his whole body trembling.

Lan Jiaojiao’s eyebrows raised slightly; she wasn’t surprised. If it were her, she would have killed Xue Wuchang too.

Qin Yi turned to look at the two, knowing they had been hiding behind a large stone outside earlier, watching.

"Didn’t I tell you to wait for me outside?"

Lei Xiao was tense all over, now terrified of Qin Yi.

But Lan Jiaojiao seemed unfazed, "I was just worried about you! If you got killed, someone would have to collect your body."

Qin Yi’s mouth twitched a few times, "Thank you! Can’t you wish something good for me?"

"Be content! I bless you every day, otherwise, would you have gotten through this unharmed?"

Qin Yi rolled his eyes, what kind of logic is that? Being unharmed was supposed to be natural, what did it have to do with your blessings?

"Where are you going?"

Lan Jiaojiao saw Qin Yi walking in a certain direction and instinctively asked.

"I’m searching to see if there’s anyone left."

Lan Jiaojiao stepped forward to follow, "I can help you with that!"

Lei Xiao’s eyes were still trembling, now he just wanted to stay far away from Qin Yi, this man was a nightmare, exterminating the Blood Evil Sect with such ease.

Glancing at Xue Wuchang’s decapitated body, he shivered and hurriedly followed.

However, Qin Yi walked a couple steps before returning to Xue Wuchang’s room to search through drawers and cabinets.

Lan Jiaojiao followed in, disdainfully saying, "Are you searching for anyone left, or looking for valuable things?"

Qin Yi casually replied, "Does it matter? It’s something that can be done simultaneously, why not?"

"Greedy!" Lan Jiaojiao despised.

However, Qin Yi searched for a long time and found nothing valuable.

Lan Jiaojiao took a spin around, then looked at a painting on the wall and laughed, "Stop searching, taking this painting is enough for you to live on for a lifetime."

Qin Yi turned to look at the painting Lan Jiaojiao mentioned, "Is this painting valuable?"

"Tang Bohu’s Maiden Painting, what do you think?"

Qin Yi’s eyes lit up, the painting was simple to carry, very convenient.

He walked up and took the painting off the wall.

However, after taking down the painting, a hidden compartment behind it was revealed. Opening it, there was a strange stone key inside.

Lan Jiaojiao curiously approached, "Could this be the key to the Blood Evil Sect’s treasure?"

Qin Yi’s mouth curled, hoping it was true.

"Let’s look around, if it’s really the key to the Treasure Vault, then the keyhole should be in this room."

The three of them started searching the room.

However, after more than ten minutes, they found nothing.

Qin Yi’s eyes flashed, then he crouched down.

"Old Qin, did you find something?"

Lan Jiaojiao walked over and crouched beside Qin Yi but found nothing.

Qin Yi smiled, "Look at the floor, the line from the bed to the wall corner, doesn’t it look a bit darker and shinier compared to other places?"

Lan Jiaojiao looked carefully for a while, "It does! This indicates that someone often walked along this line."

"Smart!" Qin Yi stood up and came to the wall corner, indeed finding the keyhole there.

Taking out the stone key, he inserted it into the keyhole, gently turned it, and heard a click.

"Careful, there might be danger!" Lan Jiaojiao whispered.

However, after turning it to the end, besides the click, nothing else happened.

The two of them looked around but saw no apparent change.

Lan Jiaojiao had a puzzled face, "This key must be for some mechanism, why no change?"

"Be careful!"

Just as Lan Jiaojiao finished speaking, Qin Yi urgently pulled her to his side with the Divine Hand.

Turns out, the ground under Lan Jiaojiao’s feet started moving.

Rumble!

The bluestone slabs on the ground shifted out, along with the tables and chairs on top of them, revealing a rectangular entrance about two meters wide, with stone steps below.

Qin Yi and Lan Jiaojiao exchanged glances, filled with the excitement of discovering a treasure.

Lei Xiao curiously came over, peering into the entrance, but besides a few stone steps, it was pitch black.

Lei Xiao instinctively took a step forward, causing the ground to sink, and he stepped on the edge of a stone tile.

Whoosh, whoosh...!

Just then, a sharp whistling sound suddenly came from the entrance.

Bam!

Qin Yi kicked the frightened Lei Xiao away.

The next second, three long black beams shot out from the entrance, exploding with a few bangs, leaving three fist-sized holes in the roof.

Lei Xiao fell to the ground, his face turning pale.

Lan Jiaojiao was also shocked, "What were those?"

"Three fine steel spears." Qin Yi replied.

Lan Jiaojiao grinned, what terrifying power, piercing through the roof. If they hit a person, it would be hard not to die.

"Are you alright?" Lan Jiaojiao looked at the pale-faced Lei Xiao.

Lei Xiao swallowed, his throat dry. Just now, if it weren’t for Qin Yi, those three holes on the roof would have been on him. The thought sent shivers down his spine.

"Thank you!" Lei Xiao sincerely expressed his gratitude, knowing Qin Yi had saved his life.

Qin Yi shook his head, then focused on the edge of the stone tile Lei Xiao had stepped into. Earlier, he and Lan Jiaojiao had stepped some steps on it with no problem, it seemed the trap only activated when the entrance mechanism was engaged, designed to prevent someone from following behind. Quite a clever mechanism.

"Here are flashlights." Lan Jiaojiao walked over, taking two flashlights from the table.

Walking back, she handed one to Qin Yi, "Let’s go down and see what’s hidden inside!"

Qin Yi said, "I’ll go down, you wait up here."

"No way, I’m going down with you! What if there’s gold mountains and silver mountains, and you take it all for yourself?"

Qin Yi was speechless, he knew Lan Jiaojiao wasn’t someone who cared about money. However, deep down, she was full of adventurous spirit and quite ruthless.
