29: The beginning of the decisive battle

Qin Yi naturally knew this was the signal for the God Slaying Alliance's gathering.

"Is it a simple gathering of God Slaying Alliance members?"

Qin Yi watched the person who delivered the note hurry away. "Or is something about to happen?"

Qin Yi didn't speculate too much.

Given the Qi family's confidence, Qin Yi naturally wouldn't think of acting cautiously.

After receiving the message, he calmly walked towards Qi Lake in the city within a city.

To reach the shore of Qi Lake, one must first pass through a main street in the city within a city.

Walking along the bustling central street of the city within a city, there were people everywhere, shoulder to shoulder.

Qin Yi passed through the crowd and suddenly saw a familiar figure approaching him.

However, the person in front of him seemed very different from before.

In the past, she wore...

A sky-blue long dress, paired with a somewhat naive and innocent face, made people feel good about her.

But now, she wore gray clothes, a black constable's hat on her head, a long sword hanging at her waist, and her right hand resting on the hilt. She walked with a heroic and spirited stride.

However, her once delicate face was now a bit darker.

Qin Yi looked at the person in front of him, suddenly a little stunned.

"Isn't that Qi Ning? She's a direct descendant of the Qi family, said to have hopes of competing for the family head position in the future. Why is she working as a street patrol constable?"

Qin Yi was a little dumbfounded seeing Qi Ning dressed as a constable.

Isn't this a job for disciples with different surnames or collateral descendants of the Qi family?

"It's you!"

At this moment, Qi Ning also saw Qin Yi.

If it were anyone else, Qi Ning might have almost forgotten them.

However, Qin Yi at that time was not only the last Ascender of that month but also seemed to possess an unusual sense of composure from beginning to end.

Coupled with being the youngest among that group, Qi Ning had a very deep impression of Qin Yi.

"Are you very curious why a direct descendant of the Qi family like me is working as a street patrol constable?"

Qi Ning looked at the slightly stunned Qin Yi and said with a hint of a smile.

"I am a little curious..."

Qin Yi became even more curious, seeing that Qi Ning didn't seem sad.

"Last year, I broke through to the Core Condensation Realm and was assigned to go to the God Descent Mountain Range alone to select Ascenders."

"But on the way, I released all of them."

"When the Family Head found out, he was furious, so I was assigned to patrol the streets."

"The Family Head said that whenever I figure out how to be a Qi family descendant, I can return at any time. If I don't figure it out, I'll patrol and enforce the law here for the rest of my life."

Qi Ning said indifferently, seemingly unconcerned about the family's punishment.

"This..."

Qin Yi looked at Qi Ning, not knowing what to say.

"It's a pity, among these people, you are the one I thought most highly of. You have bad luck; if your luck were better, and you ascended a few years later, you would have a boundless future and wouldn't be trapped here."

Qi Ning shook her head with some regret.

"Fortunately, I ascended several years earlier."

Qin Yi's mouth twitched slightly.

"If you had released me, where would I find so many cultivation techniques and martial arts?"

"In this world, apart from the strongest Eighteen Factions, no other faction can possess so many cultivation techniques and martial arts to support my research and improvement of the Heavenly Evolution Art."

Qin Yi thought to himself.

Seeing Qin Yi remain silent, Qi Ning thought she had touched a sore spot for him.

So she quickly said, "You don't have to be too sad. As long as you create a high-grade Heaven-tier... you'll... be... free..."

However, as she spoke, her voice grew softer and softer, her face flushed crimson, and her eyes darted to the side, not daring to look Qin Yi directly.

Because she herself didn't believe her words would come true.

Such people were not unheard of in history, but they were too few.

Over tens of thousands of years, among the Ascenders chosen by the Qi family, only two such individuals appeared.

Adding all the Eighteen Factions together, thirty-one such geniuses have appeared.

"Freedom?"

Qin Yi sneered upon hearing this. "It's just being able to leave this city within a city, the range of activity becomes larger, but you'll still be monitored."

"Won't the rest of your life still be spent creating cultivation techniques and martial arts for your Qi family?"

He had even referenced the high-grade Heaven-tier cultivation techniques of those two prodigies, so he naturally knew their stories.

Qi Ning was slightly stunned upon hearing this.

Because there were so few Ascenders who created Heaven-tier cultivation techniques, and those people later indeed gained freedom, she hadn't thought about it in detail.

But upon careful recollection...

Those people seemed to have created not just one high-grade Heaven-tier cultivation technique, but two to three more afterward, and many other cultivation techniques below high-grade Heaven-tier remained.

One must know that creating each Heaven-tier cultivation technique is no less than painstaking effort.

Who would be so bored as to continue creating them?

Unless creating cultivation techniques extended their lifespan.

But the lifespans of those two didn't seem to have been extended.

They had clearly broken through to the Sea Transformation Realm, yet they didn't even live to be three hundred years old.

Thinking about it now, Qi Ning felt a chill in her heart.

This was a blatant deception!

"But... it's still a little bit of freedom..."

Qi Ning sighed.

At this moment, she seemed a bit dejected, filled with disappointment towards her family.

The last shred of goodwill she had was completely shattered, and she spoke with no confidence.

Qin Yi looked at Qi Ning's appearance.

He shook his head.

He chuckled softly, "If you can always stick to yourself and not be a leech on lifespan, then you are you, and your family is your family."

After Qin Yi finished speaking, he cupped his hands slightly and intended to leave.

"Leech on lifespan?"

Qi Ning was stunned upon hearing this.

It was the first time she had heard anyone describe the Eighteen Factions in the world so aptly.

Weren't they just a group of insatiably greedy leeches?

When she regained her senses, she turned to look in the direction Qin Yi had left and suddenly frowned.

She quickly turned around and chased after him.

"Where are you going?"

Qi Ning asked.

"To the lake to clear my mind."

Qin Yi's heart sank when he saw Qi Ning chasing after him.

Could the God Slaying Alliance have been discovered already? But he maintained a calm demeanor on the surface.

Qi Ning frowned.

She didn't know if Qin Yi was telling the truth.

But she still reminded him, "If you've joined any alliance, it's best to withdraw immediately, even though you're not free now."

"But once that alliance is investigated, your last bit of freedom will be confined to the Creation Method Pavilion."

"You can't imagine how powerful our Qi family is. Creating a high-grade Heaven-tier cultivation technique and then gaining relative freedom is your only way out!"

After Qi Ning finished speaking, without waiting for Qin Yi's reply, she turned and left directly.

She had said all she could.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yi watched Qi Ning's retreating figure, his pupils slightly constricted.

Finally,

He sighed softly, "The God Slaying Alliance seems secretive, but it appears everything is still under the Qi family's control!"

"No wonder the Qi family's control over us Ascenders is so lax."

Qin Yi shook his head.

"But, having received origin crystals from the God Slaying Alliance, how can one not take any risks?"

"At the very least, I should tell the God Slaying Alliance this news before making a decision."

"Besides, it's just being confined to the Creation Method Pavilion."

Qin Yi shook his head; this punishment seemed to have no deterrent effect on him.

Not long after, Qin Yi arrived at the edge of Qi Lake.

Seeing no one around paying attention to him, he hid behind a tree and put on the human skin mask he had brought from the Thousand-Faced Scholar.

Meeting with the manager of the God Slaying Alliance individually did not require changing one's appearance.

However, in such a gathering, most people had to conceal their true appearance.

Otherwise, if a spy from the God Slaying Alliance infiltrated, it would be easy for them to be caught in one swoop.

After Qin Yi boarded the boat, Snow Heart recognized Qin Yi's voice.

She then led Qin Yi into the largest room on the pleasure boat.

Upon entering this room,

Qin Yi found that quite a few people, about thirty, were already seated inside.

Five of them wore masks, and their figures were strangely distorted.

Clearly, these five were the absolute core members of the God Slaying Alliance.

Not only did they conceal their faces, but their figures were also unrecognizable.

"These five should be the core of the God Slaying Alliance."

Qin Yi thought to himself.

Next,

Qin Yi looked at the others, who had also made some changes, more or less, in other ways.

Not long after Qin Yi, about ten more people arrived successively.

Among them was the one who delivered the message; he had not changed his appearance.

Finally, a Man in Green Robes walked out from the top-floor pavilion of the pleasure boat.

Seeing this, everyone rose slightly and bowed to the newcomer.

Clearly, this person was the Alliance Leader of the God Slaying Alliance.

"This person looks familiar, as if I've seen him more than once?"

The Man in Green Robes in front of him did not seem to have altered his figure like the other core members, merely wearing a mask. Qin Yi felt a strong sense of familiarity.

However!

Qin Yi thought for a long time but still couldn't recall who it was!

After all, there were too many people with similar builds.

"Alliance Leader, why didn't you change your figure today when we're gathering?"

One of the core members looked at the Man in Green Robes, somewhat puzzled.

"Could it be that the Alliance Leader has reached the Peak Realm and is preparing to challenge the Qi family?"

Suddenly, another person exclaimed in shock.

At these words, the rest of the people present were also incomparably shocked, staring wide-eyed at the Man in Green Robes.

"Indeed, I have entered the Sea Transformation Peak Realm. This world is no longer a cage for me."

The Man in Green Robes sat in the main seat and said indifferently.

His words exuded an unparalleled confidence and majesty.

Boom!

Suddenly, a powerful aura erupted from the Man in Green Robes.

Nothing in the room shook from the impact.

But everyone felt an indescribable sense of oppression.

Including Qin Yi, who felt the same at this moment.

"Is this the Sea Transformation Peak Realm?"

Qin Yi clenched his fists, his body trembling slightly, releasing his Core Condensation Realm cultivation to resist the invisible aura of oppression.

He was deeply shocked: "So strong!"

"Congratulations, Alliance Leader, congratulations!"

When the pressure dissipated, many people were excited, some even with tears in their eyes.

They never expected that there was actually hope of escaping the cage in their lifetime!

"Number 42, you are new to this world, yet in just three years, you have created three high-grade Earth-tier cultivation techniques."

"And now you've even broken through to the Core Condensation Realm. Your talent... is simply... no worse than mine back then."

While everyone was excited, the Man in Green Robes, seated in the main position, now looked at Qin Yi with constricted pupils. He was shocked by Qin Yi's talent and spoke with some surprise.

"This Alliance Leader always thought I was good at judging people, and I tried my best to think highly of you, but I didn't expect to underestimate you!"

The Man in Green Robes looked at Qin Yi with admiration, marveling that this person had made him misjudge.

Everyone who joins the God Slaying Alliance has a number.

During gatherings, unless they have special positions, they are generally referred to by their numbers.

Upon hearing this, everyone else turned to look at Qin Yi, who was seated at the very end, in astonishment.

"The Alliance Leader overpraises me!"

Qin Yi said very calmly, not denying it.

"No worse than the Alliance Leader?"

Everyone's gaze towards Qin Yi was once again filled with shock.

Immediately afterward, they were overjoyed!

If that were the case!

Waiting for this person to grow to the Alliance Leader's age, possessing two Sea Transformation Peak experts.

And they were extremely talented existences, then they really had hope of defeating the Qi family!

Even if these were humble words from the Alliance Leader, Number 42 was the first person to receive such praise from the Alliance Leader.

Even if he was a bit inferior, it wouldn't be by much; he was definitely the second strongest in the future!

"But it's a pity, according to the news I've recently received, the Qi family is already preparing to act against our God Slaying Alliance. It seems the news about the origin crystals has leaked."

The Man in Green Robes steadied his mind.

He shook his head with some regret, "If it weren't for this, once Number 42 grew stronger, there would truly be no more variables!"

Qin Yi was slightly stunned upon hearing this.

He thought he had a top secret, but the Alliance Leader already knew?

"What?"

Many excited people suddenly felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over their heads.

"Since we've been discovered, then let's fight a good battle. In the past, when I established the God Slaying Alliance, I said I would lead you all out of the cage."

"And now, the time has come!"

The Man in Green Robes continued, and although there was some regret, his words were still very confident.

However, even with the Man in Green Robes' words, some people still remained worried.

Someone spoke, looking at the Man in Green Robes, "Alliance Leader, you have already entered the Sea Transformation Peak. If the Alliance Leader wants to leave, the Qi family cannot stop you."

"But if the Alliance Leader wants to take us with you, it might still be difficult."

"The Qi family has three Sea Transformation Peak experts on the surface."

"There might be a few more in secret, and there are many at the early, middle, and late stages of the Sea Transformation Realm."

"Including the Alliance Leader, we only have six Sea Transformation Realm cultivators, and only the Alliance Leader is at the Peak."

Someone worried that the disparity in strength was too great.

However, the core members remained very calm.

Most of the others looked at the Alliance Leader thoughtfully, and Qin Yi was no exception.

"No, since the Alliance Leader is preparing to make a move, there must be a backup plan!"

Those who could enter the God Slaying Alliance were the elite of the elites.

Those who had been worried earlier quickly reacted.

"Hahaha!"

The Man in Green Robes laughed loudly, "That's natural. If not for that, where would our God Slaying Alliance's origin crystals come from?"

"The Alliance Leader has external aid!"

The last few people also completely understood now and were incredibly excited.

"The decisive battle will begin at dawn seven days from now! In seven days, this Alliance Leader will lead you to break through the Qi family!"

The Man in Green Robes stood up, his aura erupting once again, his long hair flying wildly. He grabbed the retractable long spear from behind him, which now extended, pointing to the sky, and declared loudly with immense pride.

"Break through the Qi family!"

The others in the room also roared with excitement at this moment.

After some planning, and once everyone's emotions had settled, they left one by one.

"Su Han, stay for a moment. I have something to tell you privately!"

However, as Qin Yi was about to leave, the Man in Green Robes called out to him with a voice transmission.
