Eyes Closed, Eyes Opened, a Day Had Passed

After Su Qian left, Qin Yu turned to look at his room.

"So... are we going to take action soon?"

Yun Yun pushed open the door, but didn't come out. She just held onto the door frame with one hand, her two slender legs swaying back and forth, covered with many red marks.

"Wow~ what kind of design is this? It's quite unique!"

Qin Yu deliberately dragged out his words, leaning to one side as he sat there, smiling as he looked at Yun Yun.

"Hmph... childish."

Yun Yun tidied her messy hair, gave a cold snort, but the blush on her face had not yet faded.

To save her legs some energy, Yun Yun leaned against the doorframe, her gaze towards Qin Yu still filled with resentment and dissatisfaction, as if to say:

Come back again if you dare.

"Not necessarily, but as long as we lure the Earth Demon Old Ghost into the Formation I've set up beforehand, the enemy's biggest threat can be eliminated."

After saying that, Qin Yu stood up and walked to Yun Yun, almost making her legs go weak and collapse to the ground.

"You, you..."

Qin Yu squatted down, picked Yun Yun up horizontally, and put her back on the bed, gently tapping her forehead.

"If your legs are weak, then take a break. Let's see if you dare to talk badly about me behind my back again next time."

Seeing that Qin Yu showed no sign of pressing his advantage, Yun Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief. If Qin Yu really came again, she really wouldn't be able to handle it.

This guy is unbelievable! Are those kidneys made of gold? He's inhuman!

"Yes."

Qin Yu offered a bright green pill to Yun Yun's lips, but found that she seemed to be lost in thought and did not react at all.

"Smack!"

"Ouch! What are you doing!"

Yun Yun covered her pert spot, which had been slapped painfully, and scolded playfully.

"Huh? What's this?"

Turning her head, Yun Yun noticed the pill Qin Yu was offering her, and blinked her beautiful eyes as she asked.

"Would you believe me if I said it was an aphrodisiac?"

"..."

Yun Yun rolled her eyes at him, swallowed the pill, then turned over, leaving Qin Yu with only a back view showing off her alluring waist and hip curves.

The next second, Qin Yu suddenly felt his hand being controlled by a mysterious and irresistible force.

"Smack!"

"Hiss, you're addicted to playing, aren't you?"

Qin Yu didn't reply and left the room directly.

The surroundings quieted down, and Yun Yun felt a little drowsy, but she just assumed it was because she was tired from all the running around these past few days.

So you close your eyes, open them again, and a day has passed.

It was a whole day in the truest sense.

Looking out the window at the sky, which was almost exactly the same as before she went to sleep, Yun Yun felt a little dazed.

Was she asleep or not?

Hmm? Make up the difference.

Yun Yun stood up and stretched vigorously.

Compared to her body, which had been almost completely drained of its last ounce of strength, she now only felt...

I can probably keep Qin Yu company for several more days.

But remembering her previous predicament, Yun Yun decided to give up.

Let's deal with this after we've eliminated the threat from Demon Flame Valley.

"Sister Yun, you're awake?"

Just then, Xiao Yi Xian arrived.

"Hmm, is it time to leave?"

"No, it's just that Qin Yu went to Demon Flame Valley again, saying he wanted to make some extra preparations just in case, so I came to see you."

Xiao Yi Xian's words made Yun Yun feel somewhat ashamed:

"He still wants to make arrangements? Is he afraid that Earth Demon Old Ghost isn't dead enough?"

"Who knows? But the opponent is Six-Star Dou Zong after all, so it's never a bad thing to be more prepared."

After some time, news from the Black-Corner Region began to arrive.

After extensive inquiries and confirmations by the Jia Nan Academy, it was confirmed that the only newly added Dou Emperor in Demon Flame Valley recently were indeed the two rogue cultivators Qin Yu encountered near the treasure trove: Zhou He and Zhou Ping.

As for other forces, no signs of collusion with Demon Flame Valley have been found so far.

That morning, Su Qian took the initiative to find Qin Yu, carrying a detailed map of the Black-Corner Region, clearly hoping to discuss the specific bait plan together.

To everyone's surprise, Qin Yu simply waved his hand and said calmly:

"No need for that trouble."

Su Qian was taken aback. Qin Yu stood up, walked to the map, and glanced at the terrain around the Demon Flame Valley Headquarters.

Then he picked up the pen on the table and quickly drew more than a dozen circles on the map.

The circles, varying in size, are scattered within a ten-mile radius of the Demon Flame Valley Headquarters. Their positions appear random, yet they subtly form a kind of encircling layout.

After finishing the drawing, Qin Yu put down his pen and pointed to the red circles:

"I've taken another walk around the Demon Flame Valley recently. We don't necessarily have to make our move at the treasure location now."

Su Qian looked down at the dense red circles on the map, her expression gradually freezing.

He remained silent for a long while before slowly raising his head to look at Qin Yu:

"... You buried so many Formation near Demon Flame Valley?"

"They are mainly sealing and suppressing types, covering each other from several angles, basically covering an area of three miles in radius."

"Once the Earth Demon Old Ghost leaves the headquarters gate, he will inevitably fall within the coverage area of at least one of the Formation."

Su Qian opened her mouth, then closed it again, finally shaking her head helplessly:

"I suddenly realize that encountering a Earth Demon Old Ghost like you is truly the worst luck imaginable."

Qin Yu smiled noncommittally and did not reply.

Su Qian took a deep breath and put the map away:

"In that case, I will gather the elders as soon as possible, and we will depart tomorrow."

"Good."

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Su Qian led a group of people to meet up with Qin Yu and the others.

Su Qian stood at the front, followed by Hu Gan, Wu Zun, two Dou Emperor- level elders from the Inner Academy, and a deputy captain of the Law Enforcement Team, who was also a Dou Emperor- level expert.

They all had serious expressions and calm demeanor, clearly indicating that they were well aware of the operation.

Wu Zun stood next to Hu Gan, still with his usual cold expression, but the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, a rare sight.

With Hu Gan, Yun Yun, and Wu Zun, there are three of them who are at the Peak Dou Emperor level.

Leaving Earth Demon Old Ghost, how long can the remaining people from Demon Flame Valley hold their own against them?

Upon seeing Qin Yu, he took the initiative to step forward and exchanged a few pleasantries.

Back when Qin Yu first stepped into the Black-Corner Region, the academy snatched back a scroll of Earth Tier Dou Skills. At that time, Qin Yu was only Dou Wang.

When they met again, Qin Yu had already reached the same cultivation level as him.

According to Su Qian, Qin Yu, having activated the secret technique, was fully capable of fighting the Earth Demon Old Ghost!

After exchanging a few words, Su Qian clapped her hands, signaling everyone to gather around.

The group formed a circle in the square, and Su Qian briefly explained the division of labor:

"The Earth Demon Old Ghost, Qin Yu and I will deal with him."

"The rest of you, the target is the remaining members of Demon Flame Valley, including those two newly arrived Five-Star Dou Emperor cultivators."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and no one raised any objections.

Su Qian paused for a moment, then added:

"Also, before the Earth Demon Old Ghost is dealt with, please be sure to hold on if any unexpected situations arise."

"Clear."

Zi Yan stood in the crowd, rubbing her hands together, eager to wreak havoc on the Demon Flame Valley's territory.

She still remembers how badly Xie Zhen chased her last time!
