With my nine meridians taken away, I will prove my invincibility with the Demon Seed!

Qin Yi never expected that Huo Gang, this fierce and ruthless fighter, would be so unreliable when he first opened his mouth.

He looked slightly embarrassed.

Huo Siyu's already pale face turned bright red. She quickly lowered her head, stomped her foot hard on Huo Gang's shoe, and said, "Brother, if you keep talking nonsense, I...I...I won't talk to you anymore!"

After saying that, she looked up at Qin Yi with embarrassment and said, "Young Master Qin, my brother has never been able to keep his mouth shut since he was a child. You...you don't have to mind him. Just treat it as if he farted."

Huo Gang immediately retorted, "Siyu, how can you talk about your brother like that?"

Huo Siyu glared at Huo Gang again.

Huo Gang said helplessly, "Fine, fine, I won't say anything more. I know you're shy. You can secretly develop a relationship with Brother Qin yourself."

At this moment, Qin Siyu really wanted to take a needle and thread and sew Huo Gang's mouth shut.

Qin Yi remained silent; he truly couldn't respond to these words.

Fortunately, Huo Gang quickly regained his composure. He looked at Qin Yi and asked, "Brother Qin, how did you get out of that demonic cultivator's underground palace?"

Huo Siyu also looked Qin Yi up and down, her dark, bright eyes blinking with curiosity.

Qin Yi said, "To be honest, Brother Huo, Miss Siyu, I encountered this group of demonic cultivators before and learned that they were under the command of a demon. Coincidentally, that snake woman wanted to capture me alive, so I decided to play along and find an opportunity to kill a demon."

"I never expected that they would hide a demonic array here, and even captured Miss Siyu, intending to set a trap for Brother Huo."

Upon hearing this, Huo Gang nodded and said, "I see."

"It seems this is all fate!"

"Brother Qin, when you clashed with Liang Qi, Zhou Yang and the others, I saw that although your strength was quite good, it was far from being as strong as it is now."

"So, you were hiding your true strength all along, right?"

Qin Yi said, "I didn't deliberately hide anything, it's just that those few good-for-nothings were too terrible and didn't deserve my full strength."

"Hahaha!" Huo Gang laughed heartily and said, "That's right, those are all trash."

Qin Yi cupped his hands in greeting and said, "Brother Huo, Miss Siyu, now that this matter is settled, I shall take my leave. I need to hurry up and hunt down some demonic cultivators to try and achieve a good result in this Starry Sky Palace assessment."

Huo Gang grabbed Qin Yi's arm and said, "No rush."

How many Star Points do you have now?

Qin Yi was thinking about how much to say.

Huo Siyu hurriedly said, "Brother, how can you do this? You immediately try to probe Young Master Qin's background!"

Huo Gang scratched his head and laughed, "I have more than 120,000 star points now. According to my estimate, I only need 80,000 star points to enter the top ten."

As he spoke, Huo Gang took out his bead. On the surface of the bead, twelve star patterns were indeed lit up, and about one-third of the thirteenth star pattern was lit up.

Huo Siyu also took out her beads and said, "I have more than 90,000 star points."

Huo Gang said to Qin Yi, "Brother Qin, that demon just now gave you at least 20,000 star points. Add to that the demonic cultivators you killed in the underground palace, you should have quite a few star points now."

"How about this, you, my sister, and I will help you get your Star Points to 100,000 together, okay?"

"Consider this our siblings' way of expressing our gratitude to you."

Qin Yi's thoughts raced. He knew he had over 160,000 Star Points, which would be exposed sooner or later. He might as well lay the groundwork in front of the Huo siblings, who seemed reliable at the moment.

So Qin Yi stopped hiding his intentions, took out the bead, and said, "I followed Bai Jing and killed a group of demonic cultivators. After that, I separated from Bai Jing and, by chance, discovered the hiding place of a wounded demonic cultivator."

"So... I now have more than 160,000 Star Points."

Huo Siyu: "..."

Huo Gang: "..."

The brother and sister both thought they had misheard.

They stared intently at the bead in Qin Yi's hand, confirming that it had indeed lit up the sixteen star patterns... Their expressions became incredibly complex.

Huo Gang, a top seed, muttered, "So many more than me... With this result, even if I do nothing, I should have no problem getting into the top ten."

Qin Yi put the bead away and said, "I was just lucky. Now that I have a good foundation, I plan to strive for a top-three finish."

Huo Siyu nodded and said, "It would be best if we could make it into the top three, because, as far as I know, the top three people in this assessment will receive very good treatment at the Starry Sky Palace."

Because Qin Yi has significantly more Star Points than Huo Gang.

Huo Gang felt the pressure.

Qin Yi already has so many.

What if other people also have an unexpectedly large number of Star Points?

If he, as a seeded player, fails to even make the top three, he will be incredibly embarrassed.

Therefore, Huo Gang no longer intends to team up with Qin Yi.

In addition, Qin Yi didn't seem to have any intention of forming a team.

Therefore, the three of them split up and acted separately.

Watching Qin Yi's departing figure, Huo Gang sighed, "If only that kid were my brother-in-law! I really like him!"

Huo Siyu got angry.

Huo Gang looked at Huo Siyu and said, "You girl, you really don't know how to talk. Someone saved your life, and you're talking about repaying them in the future."

"Too subtle!"

"If I were you, I would immediately say that I am deeply indebted to you and have no way to repay your kindness, so I offer myself to you in gratitude. I hope you will not find me unworthy!"

Huo Siyu rolled her eyes at Huo Gang, then turned and left, not wanting to talk to him anymore.

"but……"

"Young Master Qin is indeed very impressive!"

"Regardless of his appearance, temperament, speech, or talent... even in the Desolate Heaven Domain, he would absolutely be a top genius admired by all!"

Huo Siyu thought to herself.

Qin Yi acted alone, following the flow of demonic energy. Those demonic cultivators who thought they were well hidden could not escape his perception.

The second day of the Starry Sky Palace's investigation in the Valley of Heartbreak had passed, and Qin Yi's number of Star Points had reached more than 180,000.

He no longer used his own demonic energy to nourish the bead.

Don't go overboard.

After all, more than half of this score was obtained through cheating...

On the third day, most of the day had passed.

Qin Yi's Star Points have reached 200,000!

The demonic cultivators who were sealed in the Valley of Heartbreak have been almost completely wiped out.

Even with Qin Yi's extremely keen perception of demonic energy, it was difficult for him to detect any more demonic cultivators.

Qin Yi even felt that if he didn't cheat, he would have almost no chance of reaching 210,000 Star Points in the remaining time.

But just then...

Suddenly, a faint yet extremely pure wave of demonic energy emanated from afar.

"A demon!" A glint of light flashed in Qin Yi's eyes.

He had killed demons, so he was familiar with their aura.

This surge of demonic energy must be from a demon!

And there's more than one!

According to the information he had, there were five demons trapped in the Valley of Heartbreak.

He killed one.

There are four left.

Perhaps other geniuses who came to participate in the Starry Sky Palace's inspection also have a record of killing demons.

I thought the demons might have all been killed.

Now, however, they've discovered the aura fluctuations of more than just one demon...

"Let's go see what's going on!" Qin Yi thought to himself, and then followed the fluctuations of demonic energy.

Fifteen minutes later.

Qin Yi arrived at the edge of a dilapidated valley that was emanating demonic energy.

"Five demons?" Qin Yi was shocked.

According to the information he had, there were only five demons in total. He killed one of them, so there should only be four left.

So... there are still five left!

In other words, even if none of the other participants in the Starry Sky Palace's investigation were killed, there were actually six demons in the Valley of Heartbreak.

There's also a hidden demon!

Besides the five demons, Qin Yi also discovered three geniuses from the Desolate Heaven Domain.

Bai Jing and Li Feng, both at the ninth level of the Nirvana Realm, and Qiu Ping, at the tenth level of the Nirvana Realm!

The three of them stood guard at the edge of the ruined valley, ready for battle.

"It seems they've also discovered the demons here. Are they preparing to join forces to wipe them out?" Qin Yi thought to himself.

The next moment, he stopped hiding and flew towards Bai Jing.

Qiu Ping glanced at Qin Yi, a strange look appearing on her face, but she made no comment.

Li Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, a cold glint flashing within them. After all, upon entering the Valley of Heartbreak, Li Feng had intended to steal Bai Jing's target, but Qin Yi's flying sword had rendered Li Feng's efforts futile.

If Li Feng had suffered a loss at the hands of a prodigy of the same level, he could have accepted it.

But he suffered a loss against a guy whose cultivation level was far inferior to his, and who came from a place like the Desolate Ancient Continent. He was extremely upset.

He absolutely would not swallow this insult!

Bai Jing was stunned; Qin Yi's presence here surprised her.

"Miss Bai," Qin Yi said, bowing.

Bai Jing nodded: "What brings you here?"

Qin Yi: "Just passing by, Miss Bai. Is there something special about this place where you're staying?"

Bai Jing said, "There are four demons hiding here. We need to join forces. We have already notified Huo Gang and Du Hua. We will start once they arrive."

"Since you're here, why not take a look around and learn about the demons? It'll be good for you in the future!"

Qin Yi hummed in agreement and said, "Then thank you very much, Miss Bai."

He didn't mention that there were five demons hiding inside, because it would be difficult to explain. So he decided to stay there for now and see what happens later.

"We don't need trash here, Qin Yi. If you know what's good for you, get out of here!" Li Feng roared, gripping his spear with imposing and domineering presence.

Bai Jing snorted coldly and said to Qin Yi, "Ignore him, he doesn't have the final say."

Qin Yi nodded: "Understood."

Li Feng was furious.

Just then, a hearty laugh rang out.

"Haha, Brother Li, I've arrived!"

This was a young man wielding a curved sword, stepping on starlight as he rapidly approached Li Feng.

This person was none other than Du Hua, who had reached the ninth level of the Nirvana Realm.

Among those who participated in the Starry Sky Palace inspection, there were six who cultivated the Starry Sky Body and condensed a perfect Star Platform.

They are Huo Gang, Qiu Ping, Du Hua, Bai Jing, Li Feng, and Qin Yi.

Du Hua and Li Feng have a very good relationship.

Li Fenggang, who had been holding back his anger, suddenly found a way to vent it. He shouted, "Brother Du, that Qin Yi next to Bai Jing looks very suspicious to me!"

"To avoid affecting what we're about to do, hold Bai Jing back for a moment."

"I'm going to suppress that Qin Yi and see if he's really a spy for the demonic path!"

"good!"

Du Hua laughed loudly, then changed direction, increased speed, and suddenly rushed towards Bai Jing.

Bai Jing's expression changed drastically, and she shouted, "Don't go too far!"

However, Du Hua didn't respond at all and continued to charge forward, slashing down with her curved blade.

Bai Jing had no choice but to fight off Du Hua's attacks with all her might. She shouted, "Qin Yi, let's go!"

She knew Qin Yi was fast and had a chance to shake off Li Feng.

However, Qin Yi had no intention of leaving at all. His gaze was icy as he stared at Li Feng, who was rushing towards him.

Two days ago, Qin Yi had already decided to deal with him.

It's not too late now!
