Chapter 1473: They Are Within the Mountain

The people present were scared out of their wits by Qin Yi’s ruthless methods, feeling chills all over.

Li Chengliang’s face twisted with pain, his whole body trembled, nearly fainting.

Just now, his gaze toward Qin Yi was filled with resentment, but now only fear remained.

Qin Yi’s face was indifferent, "What I dislike the most are people like you, who have no skills yet love to play with betrayal."

"Do you think you are mentally superior or your cultivation is outstanding? You lack both; betrayal is just a death sentence, isn’t it?"

Qin Yi’s gaze swept over Zhu Han and the others.

Zhu Han and the three others backed away several steps in fright.

Qin Yi chuckled coldly, retracted his gaze, and looked at Li Chengliang, "Can you take me to find little Yan Zi now?"

Li Chengliang nodded painfully.

Qin Yi smiled slightly, "Truly cheap, easy to talk to only after getting beaten."

As he spoke, his raised hand surged with purple light, stopping Li Chengliang’s bleeding.

"Let’s go."

Li Chengliang walked unsteadily, trembling as he led the way ahead.

Qin Yi looked at Qiu Yuhai, "You all continue with your work, I won’t disturb you."

Until Qin Yi left, the cold in the hall seemed not yet dissipated, chilling everyone to the bone.

Qiu Yuhai looked at Zhu Han, "See, this is the result of your betrayal."

Zhu Han remained silent; Qin Yi was like a heavy stone pressing on their chest, making it hard to breathe.

Qin Yi was too ruthless.

Yin Qianqian spoke calmly, "Enough talk, start quickly."

"Solve this bunch so you can go help Jing Wangyou sooner."

Qiu Yuhai nodded, power surged around him, and he charged directly at Zhu Han.

Outside, Jing Wangyou and Yan Jiuxiang were still locked in a fierce battle.

The two could not determine a winner or loser for the time being.

...

Qin Yi and Yun Mengyao pressed Li Chengliang to rescue little Yan Zi.

After moving around in circles, just as Qin Yi was becoming impatient, Li Chengliang stopped in front of a fake hill.

"Did you hide little Yan Zi here?"

Li Chengliang nodded in horror.

"Where is he?"

Qin Yi looked around, spread his divine thought, but did not discover any dungeon passages.

Li Chengliang trembled, pointing to a fake hill.

Yun Mengyao asked curiously, "What do you mean?"

Li Chengliang said tremblingly, "They are inside the mountain."

Qin Yi and Yun Mengyao’s faces changed dramatically.

"You beast, you actually sealed people inside the mountain."

Yun Mengyao cursed angrily.

Li Chengliang was so scared he knelt on the ground with a thud and pleaded like a madman, "It’s none of my business, it’s what Old Yan ordered, please spare me."

Qin Yi’s face grew cold as he approached, placing a hand on the fake hill, and purple light surged, enveloping it.

"Crack!"

The mountain was covered with dense and uniform cracks, and finally, with a loud bang, it was directly shattered into similarly sized rubble.

A figure emerged as the mountain collapsed.

"Little Yan Zi."

Qin Yi was shocked, purple light wrapped around Jing Wuyan.

After placing the person flat on the ground, Qin Yi anxiously checked Jing Wuyan’s condition.

"How is he?" Yun Mengyao asked nervously.

Qin Yi’s expression eased slightly.

"Barely breathing, but little Yan Zi is lucky to encounter me."

Qin Yi raised a hand, continuously emitting purple light into Jing Wuyan’s body.

Soon, Jing Wuyan’s almost stopped heart resumed normal beating.

Qin Yi breathed a sigh of relief; luckily, while sealing him inside the mountain, his cultivation was not sealed, otherwise Jing Wuyan would have suffocated long ago.

However, Qin Yi does not believe Li Chengliang was kind-hearted; he intended for Jing Wuyan to slowly suffocate inside.

"Where are the others?"

Qin Yi looked at him, his voice like ice, scaring Li Chengliang so much his blood turned cold.

He trembled, pointing to two nearby fake hills.

Qin Yi raised his hand and shattered the fake hills, rescuing Xiao Jian and Qingxi.

Xiao Jian’s face was deathly black and blue, obviously poisoned, and in a dire situation, nearly impossible to detect a heartbeat.

Xiao Jian’s cultivation is not weak, suffocating him alive was difficult, so poison was used.

"Qin Yi, Qingxi is not doing well, I can’t feel her heartbeat." Yun Mengyao shouted in panic.

"Master, leave this person to me, let me cure his poison first."

The Blood Flood Dragon possesses the innate poison body, fearing no poison and is skilled in detoxification.

"I’ll leave it to you."

Qin Yi hurried over to Qingxi to check her situation.

After examining her, Qin Yi’s expression darkened frightfully; even he couldn’t detect Qingxi’s heartbeat.

Qingxi’s cultivation is too low; sealed in the mountain for who knows how long?

Qin Yi raised his hand, purple light surged and enveloped Qingxi’s body.

"Miss Qingxi, hang in there. You haven’t yet married little Yan Zi, I’m still waiting to drink at your wedding banquet."

Qin Yi desperately urged his cultivation.

He greatly appreciated this shy and sentimental young girl.

If Qingxi’s fragrance perished, with little Yan Zi’s devoted personality, he would surely go mad.

Rolling purple light enveloped Qingxi’s body, nourishing her muscles and bones, urging her heart veins repeatedly.

But after several minutes, Qin Yi still could not feel her heartbeat.

Qin Yi slowly withdrew his hand, his face full of despair.

"Qin Yi, why did you stop? Hurry and save her, hurry and save her..." Yun Mengyao’s delicate face turned pale, panic overflowing in her eyes.

Qin Yi hopelessly shook his head, suddenly feeling a sense of powerlessness, causing his body to sway.

At this moment, Qin Yi’s heart was filled with defeat.

He thought he could protect anyone, yet reality dealt a harsh blow.

Once unable to save Duan Yiyi, he thought his cultivation was insufficient.

Now, his cultivation ranks among the strong, yet he still cannot save Qingxi.

He is not God, just an ordinary person.

No matter how high the cultivation, he still cannot save those around him.

Qin Yi’s gaze became a bit dazed, beginning to doubt himself, his heart filled with collapse.

"Qin Yi, don’t just stand there. Hurry and save Qingxi, you’re so capable, you can definitely save her."

Qin Yi smiled, but his smile was full of sorrow, "Yaoyao, I am not God, I am just a failure, unable to save those around me, nor her."

Yun Mengyao’s eyes reddened,and large tears gradually slipped down.

Qingxi died, and she was deeply saddened.

But Qin Yi’s appearance made her heartache.

All along, this man was the strongest presence in everyone’s mind, considered omnipotent, akin to a God.

Yet who ever truly cared about how much he bore alone? Who ever helped him to hold it?

All along he stood before everyone, sheltering them from wind and rain.

Actually, he was just an ordinary person unwilling to admit defeat, not a true God. He was merely bound by the praise of genius, prodigy.

Yun Mengyao stepped forward and gently hugged Qin Yi, perhaps what he needed now was just a hug.

"Qin Yi, don’t blame yourself! You’ve already done your best."

"If I hadn’t wasted time in the hall, if I had come sooner, maybe Qingxi wouldn’t have died."

Yun Mengyao softly said, "It’s not your fault, truly not your fault. Nobody anticipated this, nobody expected them to seal people in the mountain."
