When Frost Lies Beneath the Feet, Hard Ice Begins to Form

The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

Cheng Cheng left, the atmosphere on the altar became very awkward.

Whether Qin Yi is the only hero among men is hard to say. Cheng Cheng sees heroes in her lover's eyes, so whatever Qin Yi does is awesome, and nothing anyone else does matters.

But in this particular incident alone, Qin Yi truly shone brightly, overshadowing everyone else and leaving them without a trace of brilliance.

Everyone present could be said to have been rescued by Qin Yi from the monster, forming a temporary team to work together.

The traps and mechanisms here were broken by Qin Yi using Wooden Figure; the strange witchcraft of the Witcher was blasted open by Qin Yi taking out his airship.

The unexpected appearance of Devil Creature during the sacrificial ceremony, possibly combined with the Qiongqi, was due to Qin Yi binding the Blood Jade and reversing the ritual, thus severing the possibility of the Devil Creature and Qiongqi combining.

The rampaging Devil Creature were subdued by Qin Yi using his Azure Light, exhausting all his power.

He Guihun sacrificed himself to light the final blood lamp, but Qin Yi's flying body suppressed and weakened the Qiongqi that was about to appear in the world.

Everything he did saved everyone. His wisdom, courage, and chivalry were beyond reproach; he was the greatest hero in the area, and there was nothing to question about him.

Even if he obtained the Blood-Chilling Nether Marrow with ulterior motives, it was still well-deserved. He refined the Nether Marrow himself, rather than fighting with anyone for it.

Calling him a Heaven-Supporting Earth-Trampling superhero in this matter wouldn't be an exaggeration. While others also contributed, such as protecting Qin Yi during He Guihun's surprise attack, the overall victory was indeed the result of collective effort and cannot be attributed to Qin Yi alone. However, compared to others, his contribution was like a grain of rice.

Even if Cheng Cheng didn't say it, there are plenty of people secretly jealous. Once they're out, give Qin Yi another hundred years, what business will anyone else have?

Cheng Cheng's identity as a monster is tantamount to handing a knife to those who are jealous.

Even those who aren't jealous are extremely concerned about the debate between humans and transvestites.

Taiyi Sect's Gu Xin sneered, "Fighting monsters and resisting the Demon Sect, yet turning around to be all lovey-dovey with demons—this war is truly ironic."

Qin Yi scoffed, "If there were no monsters, you'd all be dead. Would you even have the chance to spout nonsense here?"

"You!"

"What about me?" Qin Yi pressed his wound and slowly straightened up. Despite his injuries and exhaustion, he possessed a commanding presence. "What are you Qi Ingestion?"

Qin Yi had been laughing and joking with Tai Puzi, Lu Longting, and others, but now his expression had turned completely cold, and there was no trace of a smile left.

Perhaps Cheng Cheng's desire to go home isn't entirely their problem, but it's one of the most representative issues they face.

He should be grateful he didn't cause trouble for these people, yet he dared to fire the first shot!

Before Gu Xin could answer, Qin Yi continued, "So what if I, Qin Yi, want to be all lovey-dovey with a demon? What's it to you? I also want to be all lovey-dovey with a demonic witch, what's your problem with that? Come and hit me!"

"..." Everyone was sweating profusely.

The Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace is indeed Evil Dao.

Gu Xin was extremely embarrassed. On the surface, Qin Yi looked like he was about to collapse, barely managing to stay upright, but Gu Xin was genuinely intimidated by Qin Yi's aura. Who knew what else this guy could pull out?

For a moment, he didn't dare to retort.

"Um... Brother Qin," Tai Puzi said awkwardly, "Since Cheng Maiden is the Demon King Chenghuang, then what about the so-called Demon Empress back then...?"

"It is I," Qin Yi said indifferently. "What advice do you have for me, fellow Daoist?"

Tai Puzi said awkwardly, "Brother Qin, you've willingly done this..."

"Despicable?" Qin Yi sneered. "The so-called Demon Empress is just a joke. Demon City hasn't established an empress, and there's no distinction between me and Cheng Cheng. You're just making up rumors; what does it have to do with me?"

"It's not that... Brother Qin already has many alluring women by his side, why insist on being with the Demon King..."

"So what if it's the Demon King? Does it have anything to do with other people?"

Tai Puzi stamped his foot and said, "Humans and demons have been sworn enemies for millennia. The Demon Calamity of that time is still fresh in our minds. Even now, it's common to see demons eating people. Brother Qin, what you're saying..."

Qin Yi coldly replied, "I went to the Demon City and rescued 100,000 humans Demon City, as you, fellow Daoist, witnessed firsthand. This is far superior to your empty talk here, claiming to be for the sake of humanity while accomplishing nothing."

Fan Rongzhi, standing nearby, couldn't help but say, "Those are two different things."

"You relied on the special nature of the demon array to fight He Guihun; otherwise, it would have been broken by He Guihun long ago. Cheng Cheng essentially saved you all. When Qiongqi appeared, it was bound to cause slaughter, and she fought Qiongqi in her true form—that was the second time she saved everyone. And what was the result?" Qin Yi sneered, "Your attitude towards her was even worse than your attitude towards He Guihun. Is this repaying kindness with enmity, or are they two different things?"

Everyone remained silent, their brows furrowed.

In fact, Qin Yi could tell from their expressions that others might not necessarily feel this was a favor, because it was a collaboration among comrades-in-arms, and everyone had done their best. Cheng Cheng was just one of them. Calling it a favor seemed a bit of an exaggeration.

At most, people would think that Cheng Cheng deserved the most credit for this, and if it were a human, they would be grateful, but for a demon...

This is an ice wall that has stood for millennia, so solidified that it is as impenetrable as a Wall of Sighs, and cannot be broken by one or two acts of cooperation or favor.

It's kind of funny, actually.

When there are no external enemies, this group of people compete fiercely among themselves.

When Witcher cause trouble, the "Righteous Path unites to fight against evil" emerges.

When monsters are born and demons get involved, even Witcher unite, forming a "good-evil alliance to fight demons."

When the monster appeared, even He Guihun subconsciously thought that it was the greatest enemy. If the situation were different, Qin Yi felt that there might even be a "cooperation between good and evil to kill the monster". This was entirely possible. After all, good and evil are human, but monsters are bound to have different intentions.

This demonstrates the remarkable solidity of the Myriad Year Profound Ice.

Thinking of this, Qin Yi shook his head. Exhausted and wounded, he had no energy to argue with these people. He simply turned to Li Qingjun and said, "Let's go."

Li Qingjun nodded and helped him slowly walk out.

Tai Puzi, standing behind him, earnestly advised, "If word gets out, Brother Qin's reputation will suffer, and it might even affect your sect. If Brother Qin promises to never contact this demon again, I'm willing to vouch for Brother Qin and ensure this matter isn't leaked. Brother Qin's Famous Throughout the World; you're undoubtedly the brightest star in China. Why ruin your future for a mere demon?"

Qin Yi paused slightly, then smiled and said, "Brother Dao, you may be a bit pedantic, but your intentions are good. Unlike some people."

Tai Puzi said sincerely, "This humble Daoist truly believes that Brother Qin is a hero with chivalrous spirit, and that our friendship is genuine. However, this..."

"I appreciate your kindness, brother," Qin Yi said calmly. "If I had to choose, I wouldn't want Famous Throughout the World or a bright future; I want Cheng Cheng."

Gu Xin sneered, "Stubborn to the end."

"As for my friendship with you all... I have some regrets about Brother Taipu. As for the others... hehe. In comparison, even if I were to befriend all the heroes of the world, they wouldn't be Cheng Cheng a single finger of Cheng Cheng in my heart. Please, everyone, make yourselves at home."

Tai Puzi stamped his foot and sighed, "Brother Qin, don't you care about the reputation of the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace?"

Qin Yi looked up and thought for a moment, "You already dislike the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace, so what's one more charge of associating with demons? If the Immortal Palace is willing to share the blame with me, I would be very happy. If the Immortal Palace is not willing, then Qin Yi can leave to avoid harming the sect."

Lu Longting shook his head slightly, Tai Puzi sighed.

The others shook their heads and said, "They're truly blinded by lust."

Just then, the space suddenly shook, and the altar seemed to begin to collapse, with large chunks of blood falling down.

Lu Longting, who had remained silent, sighed, "With forces continuously exceeding their limits clashing in this realm, this dilapidated plane is on the verge of collapse. And you still have the leisure to argue like this?"

Everyone was startled, and Qin Yi couldn't help but frown.

The collapse of a plane is not the same as expelling Cheng Cheng. Expelling energy that exceeds the limit is a gentle push, but if a plane collapses, everyone will perish inside.

"Let's go!" Lu Longting summoned his flying sword. "We'll talk outside."

"Bang!" The entire altar hall collapsed, and huge stones crashed down.

"It's too late," Qin Yi said indifferently. "Perhaps you will say again that I, Qin Yi, have no gratitude and am only looking out for myself."

Everyone turned to look, only to see Qin Yi pull out a bomb.

The Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace World-Breaking Bomb.

"Boom!" A Sky Curtain exploded a foot in front of Qin Yi, with blue sky and white clouds drifting outside.

Just as Qin Yi was about to fly out, his last bit of strength aggravated his injuries, and his vision suddenly went black as he fainted in Li Qingjun's arms.

He was completely out of ammunition and supplies, and was simply holding on by sheer willpower. Now he could no longer hold on.

Li Qingjun turned her head angrily and glared at the crowd, saying each word clearly, "Qing Jun knows all the heroes of the world."

After saying that, he grabbed Qin Yi and leaped out of the Sky Curtain.

"Boom!" The dimension behind them collapsed completely, and several people shot out as if they were too ashamed to face Li Qingjun, scattering and disappearing in all directions.
