I'll Make Sure You Can't Tend to Both Ends

"You..."

After listening to Qin Yu's idea, Yun Yun thought to herself that her premonition was right; someone was going to be in trouble.

And it was incredibly unlucky.

"How perfect! As long as things go smoothly, we can eliminate Lin Feng with almost no effort."

"It's quite suitable... but after you get rid of Lin Feng, how will you deal with that Emperor Tianlin?"

Yun Yun naturally agreed with Qin Yu's plan.

With her being a Five-Star Dou Emperor and Qin Yu joining forces, killing a Two-Star Dou Emperor like Lin Feng would be a piece of cake, not to mention Qin Yu's amazing concealment techniques.

But if Lin Feng is killed, the old emperor in the Heavenly Qilin Palace will be in trouble.

"Just wait, good things come to those who wait."

"Moreover, that old emperor has the eyes and horn of Qilin on him. If I assassinate him, the remnant soul of the Qilin will definitely help me."

When Qin Yu met the old emperor before, he could tell that the guy was acting strangely.

However, Qin Yu was worried about being discovered, so he didn't investigate further.

After talking with the remnant soul of the Qilin, Qin Yu connected the dots of the old emperor's condition and was able to draw a conclusion.

"Then let's get started as soon as possible. Once things are settled here, Yanran and Xiao Yan's Three-Year Agreement will be due."

The Three-Year Agreement.

This time, Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran's Three-Year Agreement was conducted in secret, with only a few people aware of it, so it's estimated that nothing unexpected will happen...

Bar?

Given Xiao Yan's luck—wherever he goes, someone wants to step on him—it's really hard to say.

It doesn't matter, Qin Yu won't care even if something unexpected happens.

The two rested for a night, and the next day, Yun Yun "passed by" Heavenly Qilin City again, and this time, she did not conceal her presence.

Within the city, an aura rapidly rose.

Unsurprisingly, Lin Feng is here again.

He was still wearing his princely robes today, with a smile on his face, and his bowing posture was more composed than last time.

"Sect Master Yun, we meet again. It seems you are indeed quite interested in the scenery of Heavenly Qilin City?"

"If that's the case, why don't we go into the city for a talk?"

Yun Yun smiled politely, but did not respond immediately.

Lin Feng's smile faltered slightly as he keenly sensed that Yun Yun's attitude today was somewhat off.

Last time, although she was cold, at least she would say a few words.

But that smile today... something just doesn't feel right!

The thought had barely crossed Lin Feng's mind when a chilling cold suddenly crept up his back.

There's something behind me!

Lin Feng reacted extremely quickly. Almost as soon as he sensed the threat, he activated all his Dou Qi. A thick layer of earth-yellow Dou Qi shield instantly covered his back, firmly protecting his vital points.

As Two-Star Dou Emperor, he was not lacking in combat experience, and he had encountered such sudden sneak attacks before.

But he forgot that there was another person in front of him.

Just as he was doing his best to protect what was behind him, Yun Yun drew her longsword, its blade wreathed in sharp Wind-Attribute Battle Qi, and thrust it straight at Lin Feng's chest.

The air was torn apart, emitting a sharp screech, and in an instant, Lin Feng's pupils only saw the sword tip that was about to kill him.

He never expected that Yun Yun would suddenly attack him.

And there was the person who ambushed him from behind.

They could completely evade his senses and launch an attack at such close range, so why bother with a sneak attack?

Qin Yu: I'll make sure you can't see things from both ends.

"Pfft"

A sharp sound of a blade piercing flesh rang out as Yun Yun's longsword pierced his heart, the tip protruding from his back with a trickle of crimson blood.

Lin Feng's body suddenly stiffened, his mouth opened as if he wanted to say something, but at the same time, the attack from behind him arrived.

A fist enveloped in dark golden Dou Qi struck him precisely on the back of the neck.

With a crisp "crack," the cervical vertebrae snapped.

Lin Feng's head tilted to one side at an eerie angle, and the light in his eyes went out completely in an instant.

Qin Yu withdrew his fist, emerging from behind Lin Feng. He stood in mid-air, flexed his wrist, and watched Lin Feng's corpse fall downwards.

Yun Yun deftly flicked the tip of her sword, knocking Lin Feng's Storage Ring off, and then swiftly took two items from his drooping palm.

Two bone claws.

The bone claw is dark gold in color, covered with fine scale-like patterns, and when held in the palm of your hand, you can feel a faint warmth.

Even though it has been separated from the main body for many years, it still retains a trace of the majesty and ancient aura of the Qilin.

Yun Yun examined the two bone claws from both sides before handing them to Qin Yu.

Qin Yu took it, closed his eyes, and slowly probed his soul power into it.

A moment later, he opened his eyes and nodded slightly.

"The remnant soul of Qilin is attached to it. Lin Feng must have suffered a lot of torment over the years with these claws."

The resentment clinging to the bone claw was extremely strong; if it were an ordinary Dou Wang, it would probably have been corrupted to the point of losing his mind long ago.

Lin Feng, a Two-Star Dou Emperor, has already shown remarkable willpower to have lasted this long.

But this also means that his daily training and combat will inevitably be significantly suppressed.

It's likely that half of his Two-Star Dou Emperor strength was used to suppress the backlash from those claws.

Are you going to enter the palace now?

Yun Yun sheathed her longsword and landed beside Qin Yu.

"Um."

Qin Yu put the two bone claws into his Storage Ring and gave them a few more instructions:

"They should have special means to monitor the life signs of members of the Imperial Family. Pay close attention to the movements in Heavenly Qilin City these next few days."

"Don't worry, I'm here."

Yun Yun glanced at Lin Feng's corpse, then looked up at Qin Yu and asked:

"Besides Lin Feng and Emperor Tianlin, there should be other Dou Huang expert in the Heavenly Qilin Palace, right?"

Mentioning this, Qin Yu recalled the white-haired old man who had opened the Qilin Blood Pool for Lin Yi.

If he wasn't mistaken, that should be the third Dou Emperor of the Heavenly Qilin Empire.

"There should be another one, but he doesn't look well either. He's old and frail, and nearing his end."

"Don't be careless. Even if he's old, he's still Dou Emperor."

Qin Yu responded, landed back on the ground, and strode towards Heavenly Qilin City.

Qin Yu has kept the effects of the Extra Character's stats on his character's name on screen ever since he returned yesterday.

When Yun Yun was getting ready to leave this morning, she almost forgot about him.

As before, Qin Yu swaggered into Heavenly Qilin City and easily arrived at the Heavenly Qilin Palace.

The palace guards continued to ignore Qin Yu's arrival. Qin Yu entered the Heavenly Qilin Palace again, but this time he was much more cautious than before.

Lin Feng has already been killed. He needs to find out the specific situation around the old emperor before the news of Lin Feng's death arouses alarm.

For example, was the white-haired old man who opened the Qilin Blood Pool actually a Dou Huang expert, and where are the palace's Shadow Guards?

He did not recklessly use his Soul Power to investigate; instead, he walked back and forth in the palace, confirming information from various locations.

Meanwhile, in Emperor Tianlin's study:

"Lin Feng is dead?!"
