Chapter 355: Chapter 355 Bounty Hunters

However, what Qin Yi didn’t expect was that the two of them waited until the latter half of the night, and the Phoenix Blood Flower didn’t appear at all.

"Let’s go, head back!"

Liu Yiren yawned and asked, "Aren’t we waiting anymore?"

"It seems the Phoenix Blood Flower won’t show up tonight."

"Then shouldn’t we at least understand the enemy’s forces? Don’t we need a plan?"

Qin Yi smirked, "The plan is... to take it by force!"

Liu Yiren was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Such confidence!"

Qin Yi’s mouth twitched, "Read more books, it’s called overt confidence."

"Same thing!" Liu Yiren giggled.

Qin Yi replied irritatedly, "Far from the same! If I could leak confidence, that would be absurd."

They returned to the hotel, and it was already past two in the morning.

The next day, under the threat of Liu Yiren calling Xia Yanbing, Qin Yi accompanied her for a day out.

This girl, she actually learned to threaten me?

Nonetheless, the sausages in Qianlu City are pretty tasty.

Upon returning, Qin Yi carefully inquired with Liu Yiren about the terrain near Fengming Mountain and then made a simple plan.

At eight that evening, the two of them headed once more to Fengming Mountain.

"Qin Yi, there’s trouble. Someone has blocked the road ahead."

"Who are they?"

"Seems like official people."

As expected, they couldn’t pass and were persuaded to turn back.

"What do we do now?"

Qin Yi grinned, "Park the car by the roadside, and we’ll walk."

Liu Yiren parked the car in a concealed spot, and the two of them proceeded on foot through the dense forest towards Fengming Mountain, since it wasn’t far.

"This spot’s good, we can see Fengming Mountain clearly!"

Over an hour later, Qin Yi and Liu Yiren appeared on a hillside not far from Fengming Mountain, hiding amidst the dense forest.

"Keep a close watch. As soon as the Phoenix Blood Flower appears, let me know immediately!"

Liu Yiren nodded.

"Qin Yi, there are a lot of people! At least over twenty of them."

Qin Yi nodded slightly. Among them, besides the Meng Family members, there were also members of the Ruan Family, and the rest were likely official personnel.

Nearing midnight, Qin Yi once again reminded Liu Yiren to stay vigilant.

At midnight, when the Moon Essence is at its peak.

If the Blood Phoenix Flower appears, it’s likely to be around this time.

"Qin Yi..."

Liu Yiren was just about to speak when Qin Yi suddenly covered her mouth.

"Shh, there’s someone!"

Qin Yi reached out to touch the large tree beside him. It was thick, needing two people to wrap around it.

Qin Yi listened closely, then held Liu Yiren and leaped precisely onto the trunk, hiding within the branches and leaves.

Liu Yiren stared at Qin Yi in surprise. She even suspected that Qin Yi was pretending to be blind; otherwise, how could he land so precisely on the trunk?

Little did she know, Qin Yi could determine its position through the airflow’s impact on the trunk.

In the dense forest, shadows flickered.

"Qin Yi, there really are people!"

"Shh!" Qin Yi gestured for silence. This silly girl, as if he would lie.

Coincidentally, these people gathered right below the tree where Qin Yi and Liu Yiren were hiding.

Qin Yi deduced from their beards that there were seven of them.

"Seems like we’re not late, the Phoenix Blood Flower hasn’t appeared yet."

"It appeared at midnight last time, should be around the same this time."

"Remember, once we grab the Phoenix Blood Flower, retreat immediately! Avoid any entanglement with the Ruan and Meng families."

"What? Are you scared? Besides the Meng Family Head, the others are hardly a threat."

"Don’t forget our objective. Plus, there are the Ruan Family members."

"Just two strong Late Foundation Establishment cultivators, leave them to me and Cheng Lei."

"Let’s go, carefully sneak over. Once the Phoenix Blood Flower shows up, make a move immediately."

These fellows gathered their Qi and stealthily crept towards Fengming Mountain, completely unaware there were two people hiding above them. Qin Yi had sealed the Qi of both himself and Liu Yiren.

Once they were sure the group had moved far enough, Qin Yi spoke up, "Could you make out who they are?"

"Their outfits aren’t uniform; they should be hunters," Liu Yiren replied.

"Hmm?" Qin Yi was surprised, "What hunters?"

"I’ve heard from my grandpa, there’s a group, neither Guardians nor Sect members, they’re formed by loose cultivators and call themselves the Hunter Corps."

"These people are bad news. They’d do anything for profit, without conscience or logic, only results matter."

Qin Yi was taken aback, "Bounty hunters?"

Liu Yiren nodded, "Pretty much! Their creed is that profit is all they see."

This was the first time Qin Yi had heard of such an organization. Earlier, among the seven, none of their cultivations were weak, with two even being at the Late Foundation Establishment stage.

"Looks like tonight’s going to be lively!"

Liu Yiren asked, "What about us then?"

Qin Yi chuckled, "Naturally, we let the tigers fight. Our target is the Phoenix Blood Flower. Anyone who tries to take it from me is my enemy."

"Oh, how cunning!" Liu Yiren showed a knowing expression, "You want to play the ’Huang Que’. Let those hunters and the Meng and Ruan families battle it out and benefit as the ’Fisherman’ from their struggle."

Qin Yi couldn’t help but tap her smooth forehead, "Is that how you speak about your savior?"

Liu Yiren pouted, feeling aggrieved, but unfortunately, Qin Yi couldn’t see her pitiful expression.

As time ticked by.

"Qin, Qin, Qin..." Suddenly, Liu Yiren stuttered excitedly.

Qin Yi was momentarily stunned, "Has the Phoenix Blood Flower appeared?"

"Yes, the Phoenix Blood Flower has appeared, quickly grab it."

Though it was quite far, Qin Yi could already smell the rich medicinal scent.

"Don’t be hasty! Let them bring it to me. First, tell me, what’s going on?"

Liu Yiren became the live commentator.

Fengming Mountain is over 300 meters high. At the mountainside, faint red light initially appeared, then it became increasingly intense.

A strange bird head emerged from the mountain wall, then, facing the moonlight, it slowly opened its beak and emitted a wailing sound, akin to ghostly cries, which was quite eerie.

The intense red light, in the darkness, looked like a huge red lantern hanging on the mountainside, very eye-catching.

"Are you sure it’s black-red?" Qin Yi asked, slightly excited.

"Yes, it’s black-red, like burning flames."

Qin Yi felt a wave of excitement. If the Phoenix Blood Flower appeared black, it was at least over 300 years old.

The one the Azure Dragon used was only about a hundred years old.

Using this 300-year-old Phoenix Blood Flower to refine the bodies of Xiaobing and the others would be easier and more effective.

"Qin Yi, the Ruan and Meng families have made a move."

Leading the Meng Family was Meng Yiran, accompanied by two elderly men, both of whom had strong auras. These two were from the Ruan Family, Ruan Yingzong and Ruan Letong, both strong cultivators at the Late Foundation Establishment stage.

Meng Yiran gazed passionately at the red light on the mountainside, "It’s finally appeared. Shall we make a move now?"

Ruan Yingzong and Ruan Letong nodded slightly.

Meng Yiran waved his hand, "Move out!"

Two disciples of the Meng Family slowly advanced, holding crossbow-like devices in their hands, aiming at the Phoenix Blood Flower on the mountainside.
