Setting Foot in the Black-Corner Region

When Qin Yu returned to Peace Town, Zi Yan and Xiao Yi Xian were standing at the town entrance, one with an excited expression and the other slightly out of breath.

When Zi Yan saw Qin Yu descend from the sky, she immediately jumped and skipped over to greet him, her excitement still lingering.

"Qin Yu! I just took down a Blood Sect guy with a single punch, just one punch! Pretty impressive, huh!"

"Hmm, well done."

Qin Yu casually ruffled her hair, Zi Yan immediately smiled so much that her eyes narrowed.

Xiao Yi Xian leaned against the wall, her breathing still a little unsteady, with a fine layer of sweat on her forehead, clearly indicating that she had expended a lot of her Dou Qi.

Are you alright?

"Fine."

Xiao Yi Xian shook her head, but there was a hint of sadness in her voice.

"What's going on?"

"When I caught up with him, he had just met up with another person; both of them were from the Blood Sect."

Xiao Yi Xian didn't speak, so Zi Yan leaned over and explained what had happened.

"The one I took down was a Six-Star Dou Ling, while the one fighting against Xiao Yi Xian was a Two-Star Dou Ling..."

Zi Yan was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly realized something, glanced at Xiao Yi Xian, and shut her mouth.

Qin Yu frowned slightly. Two-Star Dou Ling? Isn't that similar to Xiao Yi Xian?

It seems that Xiao Yi Xian has already advanced to Three-Star Dou Ling a few days ago.

"That person is only Two-Star Dou Ling, but in a fight... I..."

Xiao Yi Xian was silent for a moment, then spoke first, but her voice grew softer and softer.

Looking at her like this, Qin Yu roughly understood what was going on.

Am I... a little useless?

Xiao Yi Xian's lips twitched slightly as she lowered her head and finished speaking.

"It's normal to encounter this situation for the first time. Just try a few more times in the future."

Xiao Yi Xian nodded, and the feeling of depression in her heart dissipated considerably.

She clenched her fist and silently made a decision in her heart.

I need to hurry up and start practicing.

During this time, she had actually been slowly increasing the dosage of the poison, but fortunately, the Woeful Poison Body remained completely still, like a well-behaved child.

There was nothing she could do; after all, Xiao Yi Xian had a demon king protecting her.

If the Woeful Poison Body dares to show its face, it will be bombarded by Heavenly Flames, and sometimes it will even be beaten if it doesn't show its face.

After resolving the issues in the town, Qin Yu returned to the Law Enforcement Team's base and found Wu Zun.

"I heard that members of the Blood Sect have infiltrated the town again?"

"Yes, it's been taken care of."

Qin Yu walked to the table and sat down, taking out the blood-red stone from his Storage Ring and placing it on the table.

"This was found on that Blood Sect member from before. The people who came today said that the Blood Sect has a secret method to sense this kind of thing and can roughly determine its location."

"If we don't deal with it, the Blood Sect will come again."

Upon seeing the Blood Stone, Wu Zun straightened his posture slightly.

"I've seen this thing before, but I'm not really sure what it's used for."

"However, since those disgusting guys from the Blood Sect have kept this so tightly under their belts, it's probably material for some kind of secret technique."

"Oh, right."

Wu Zun put the Blood Stone back on the table, took a piece of paper from the drawer, and spread it out on the table.

There were three names written on the paper, followed by brief notes.

"These are three Dou Wang- level elders from the Blood Sect who have old grudges against the academy. They are all active in the Black-Corner Region, but their exact location is unknown."

Wu Zun pointed to the name on the paper, his tone becoming serious.

"The Blood Sect has expanded its power rapidly in recent years, and some members have become quite arrogant. It's time to give them a warning."

Qin Yu's gaze swept across the paper, he remained silent for a moment, then looked up at Wu Zun.

You mean...

"What I mean is, since keeping this thing in your hands is a hassle, why not take the initiative and use this opportunity to make a trip into the Black-Corner Region?"

"Dispose of that Blood Stone. If it's convenient, teach the Blood Sect another lesson."

Qin Yu thought about it for a moment, and finally put the list away.

Although Zi Yan is a bit mischievous, she is quite capable.

Xiao Yi Xian now possesses the ability to fly and can keep up with their pace; it's indeed time for her to venture into the Black-Corner Region.

Blood Sect...

"Okay, I'll go back and tell them."

When they returned to the Stone Tower, Zi Yan was lying on the table, holding a small pill between two fingers and carefully bringing it to her lips as if she were eating a delicacy.

Seeing Qin Yu enter, she immediately put the pill in her mouth and asked:

"Qin Yu! What does Old Wu want with you?"

"Nothing much, just taking a couple of days off to prepare for entering the Black-Corner Region."

Zi Yan froze instantly.

Her eyes widened, and she forgot to chew the pills in her mouth. It took her a long time to come back to her senses.

"Really?!"

"Um."

"Aaaaaah! Finally, we can go out!"

Zi Yan jumped off the chair and spun around the room several times, as excited as a puppy running around.

"Actually, I don't need to rest for two days. I can leave anytime!"

"You don't need to rest, but Xiao Yi Xian and I do."

Qin Yu poured cold water on her head, but Zi Yan remained enthusiastic and still jumped around energetically.

Two days of rest is fine, anyway, we'll be able to go out soon.

Seeing her like this, Qin Yu couldn't help but shake his head.

That's all the girl is good for.

Xiao Yi Xian walked over from the side and stood beside him, watching Zi Yan's jumping figure with a slight smile on her lips.

Are we about to enter the Black-Corner Region?

"Um."

"You just came back from Captain Wu's place. What did he say to you?"

"They talked about the Blood Sect, and also about three Dou Wang who have old grudges against the academy."

Qin Yu briefly explained the situation, and Xiao Yi Xian nodded.

"Then you should rest well these next couple of days. However, I still need your guidance on my Flying Dou Technique."

"Good."

In the past two days, no further unexpected incidents have occurred in Peace Town.

Xiao Yi Xian has basically adapted to flying. Although her speed is still a bit lacking, she can at least keep up at a steady pace.

Moreover, through her "secret" efforts, her strength has already approached that of Four-Star Dou Ling!

The girl thought she had hidden it well, little did she know that Qin Yu had already discovered it.

However, considering the reasons why Xiao Yi Xian did this, Qin Yu chose to remain silent for the time being, because even if he brought it up, Xiao Yi Xian would definitely still do it secretly.

What he needs to do is to increase his strength as quickly as possible to avoid being unable to suppress the Woeful Poison Body later on.

"Let's go, let's head to the Black-Corner Region!"

On the day of their departure, Qin Yu specially made cloaks and masks for all three of them.

Why are you wearing this?

"Because we're heading to the Black-Corner Region..."

Well, it seems that Zi Yan is still in the stage of selectively using her brain.

"Qin Yu..."

Gazing at the lifeless city not far away, Xiao Yi Xian suddenly called out to Qin Yu.

"Um?"

"I..."

"Don't worry, just pay attention to the people around you and be careful."
