"Alliance"

"Six Directions Wandering Body Ruler, Shadow Art, Heavenly Feather Finger..."

Walking through the Black Emperor Treasury, familiar objects flashed before Qin Yu's eyes; these were all items that would later appear at the auction.

However, the mummified corpse of the eighth-tier Heavenly Demon Phoenix is not currently in the Black Emperor Treasury, presumably because it has not yet been discovered.

Soon, Qin Yu stopped in front of a stone platform.

The surface of the stone platform was still shrouded in a layer of light, just like the treasures from Demon Flame Valley before.

Inside the light shield, a deep blue Magic Core floated silently.

This is the Seventh-Tier Magical Core that the Black Emperor Sect has collected; it's a rare Lightning Attribute Magic Core.

Qin Yu did not rush to make a move; once his message was sent back to the academy, someone would arrive soon.

And that girl Zi Yan will definitely come along.

Now it's time for her specialty.

"Qin Yu!"

As expected, Zi Yan was the most enthusiastic, rushing to the front of the group.

"Alright, it's your presentation time again."

As he spoke, Qin Yu pointed to the clusters of light in the Black Emperor Treasury that had been sealed with Space Seal.

"It's you I've chosen! Go, Zi Yan!"

"Okay! Wait, something's not right..."

Zi Yan was about to grab the item with great enthusiasm, but then suddenly stopped, frowning as if something was amiss.

Why should I cooperate with you?

"Oh, you should hurry up and go, stop talking so much."

Qin Yu didn't give Zi Yan a chance to think things through; he simply pushed her inside.

The girl was initially a little annoyed, but her eyes widened when she saw the room full of treasures.

Although he probably wouldn't end up eating all of these things, after following Qin Yu for so long, Qin Yu was still very kind to him.

Aside from always treating her like an idiot, everything else is fine.

"Mo Tianxing... is he dead?"

Unlike Zi Yan, Yun Yun's first question upon arriving was about the Black Emperor Sect.

"Yes, the body is here."

With a wave of his hand, Qin Yu brought Mo Tianxing's corpse to the scene before everyone.

"The soul is here."

The next second, the Container imprisoning Mo Tianxing's soul appeared in Qin Yu's hand, sending chills down the spines of several elders from the Jia Nan Academy.

Has this child mastered some special Dou Technique? It's so powerful that it can even imprison a person's soul.

"Don't worry, Mo Tianxing. The Black Emperor Sect's First Elder, Second Elder, and a captain of the Shadow Guards —these high-level Dou Emperor have all been killed. The results are quite good."

"Really? What about my poison? Is it effective?"

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xiao Yi Xian whispered a question to Qin Yu.

"It works very well. Mo Ya only inhaled a small amount of poison and fell into a coma. He was still asleep until he was burned to death by my Heavenly Flames."

"As long as it works well, I estimate I should be able to break through to the Four-Star Dou Emperor soon."

Knowing that her poison had come in handy, Xiao Yi Xian felt much better.

"Well, you should consider it carefully. The shackles are quite secure, aren't they?"

When Qin Yu heard that Xiao Yi Xian was about to break through again so soon, he couldn't help but become more cautious.

Last time, when I wasn't by her side, the brief outbreak of the Woeful Poison Body was suppressed by the Yin-Yang Suppression of Calamity Pill that I had prepared beforehand.

Qin Yu absolutely will not allow this to happen again!

"Of course, even if I break through to the Dou Zong Dou Emperor Huang now, I doubt my Woeful Poison Body can break free from the shackles you've put on it."

Xiao Yi Xian rested her head on Qin Yu's shoulder, her tone quite relaxed.

Ever since Qin Yu placed this shackle on the Woeful Poison Body, she has truly had no more worries about cultivation.

Even though her cultivation speed was slightly limited, it was nothing compared to cultivating steadily.

"Then, I'll reinforce these shackles when I advance to the Dou Zong level."

Qin Yu ultimately decided that before he could completely control the Woeful Poison Body, he would reinforce the shackles every now and then.

"Qin Yu! Here, these are what you wanted."

Just then, Zi Yan took out all the items from the light shields, held them full in front of her chest, and walked towards Qin Yu.

Suddenly, Zi Yan's foot inexplicably slipped, and she fell flat on her face in front of Qin Yu.

Qin Yu looked at the scattered items on the ground, shook his head, and then put away the Seventh-Tier Magical Core.

"Eh? The Six Directions Wandering Body Ruler..."

Inadvertently, Qin Yu caught a glimpse of the Earth -Earth Tier ruler-level Dou Technique out of the corner of his eye.

Or... how about we trade this for something useful from Yao Chen?

Taking advantage of the opportunity that originally belonged to Xiao Yan, he traded it with Yao Chen, getting something for nothing. Hmm.

Very reasonable.

"Waaah... Qin Yu, you've gone too far! You'd rather pick up a scroll of Dou Technique than lend me a hand!"

Qin Yu was pondering what he could exchange the Six Directions Wandering Body Ruler for from Yao Chen when he heard Zi Yan crying on the ground.

Looking down, he saw the little girl lying on the ground, raising her head and looking at him pitifully.

"Please, do you think you're still that little girl? That trick isn't working anymore."

Qin Yu smiled helplessly and casually picked up Zi Yan.

"How can I not be a little girl! I look much younger than Sister Yun Yun and Sister Xian'er!"

As soon as Zi Yan spoke in her anger, she immediately felt herself being locked onto by two cold gazes.

She turned her head stiffly and saw Xiao Yi Xian and Yun Yun walking towards her step by step with clenched fists and smiling faces.

"Little sister Zi Yan ~"

As soon as Xiao Yi Xian opened her mouth, Zi Yan shuddered instantly.

Are we... that old?

With a whoosh, Yun Yun drew her longsword.

"Alright then, your sister recently mastered a Earth Tier Dou Skills, which you've seen before. Come on, help your sister see if there's anything lacking!"

"Aaaaaah! Help!!!"

Oh dear, you've got a lot on your mind, kid. Be more careful next time.

If you speak ill of someone, remember to do it behind their back.

"I really envy you young people."

"Elder, you are at least a Three-Star Dou Zong, and you still have many years to live. You're not some kind of old monster."

Su Qian's reflections were ruthlessly shattered by Qin Yu.

"Bah! Can't you say something nicer? You're such a waste of an old man like me, the Grand Elder of the Inner Academy Court, who's always following you around doing this and that for you."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu turned his head and pointed to the Black Emperor Treasury:

"Is there a lot of stuff inside?"

"..."

"OK?"

"..."

Does it smell good?

"... fragrant."

Qin Yu's three deadly questions left Su Qian speechless.

With Demon Flame Valley, Evil Bone Sect, and Black Emperor Sect, the academy has made a fortune in just a few months since Qin Yu returned.

Qin Yu did acquire a lot of good stuff, but he's also incredibly skilled in combat!

The destruction of Demon Flame Valley could still be considered a collaboration between the academy and Qin Yu.

However, Qin Yu received no assistance from the academy from the Evil Bone Sect or the current Black Emperor Sect, except for intelligence gathering.

If I had to say...

That is, I helped him find some materials for setting up the formation.

"Ahem, Han Feng should already know what happened here. We'd better leave as soon as possible."
