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

Qin Yi arrived at the plaza where Elder Fan Xuanfeng of the Starry Sky Palace was preaching.

The square was not large, and a hundred prayer cushions were placed there.

These one hundred prayer cushions were arranged in ten rows and ten columns.

Each prayer mat was spaced three zhang apart.

There were already more than thirty people sitting on the prayer mats.

In the first row sat four young men, their robes a symbol of their seniority.

The second row also had a senior disciple and two intermediate disciples seated there.

Qin Yi's seat was in the last row.

After all, this was just a spot that Li Zheng bought with 10,000 Yuan Crystals; he was already lucky to have a seat.

The closer the seat is to Elder Fan Xuanfeng, the more expensive it is, because the closer you are to Elder Fan Xuanfeng when he arrives, the greater the chance of being noticed by him.

In addition, when Elder Fan Xuanfeng preaches, he also releases his true sword intent, and the closer you are, the clearer you will feel it.

The first row seats are reserved for senior disciples, and are naturally the most expensive. Even if you have acquaintances, you still have to spend at least 100,000 yuan crystals.

Qin Yi sat cross-legged on a futon in the last row, with his eyes closed, waiting for Elder Fan Xuanfeng to arrive.

Disciples of the Starry Sky Palace arrived at the square one after another.

Some people greeted each other, while others who didn't get along exchanged cold words, like needles pointing at wheat awns.

suddenly.

A voice rang out beside Qin Yi.

"You actually came too!"

Qin Yi opened his eyes and saw a familiar figure.

It was Zhou Zhihao, the intermediate disciple he had suppressed a few days ago!

And coincidentally, Zhou Zhihao was sitting right next to Qin Yi.

Zhou Zhihao was pale and weak, clearly indicating that his injuries had not yet healed.

Since they were practically acquaintances, Qin Yi greeted them with a genuine smile, "It seems we're destined to meet again, you simp!"

Zhou Zhihao's face turned even uglier when he heard the words "simp".

Qin Yi continued, "However, I remember you weren't seriously injured that day, so why are you still half-dead? Are you trying to extort money from me?"

"Shut up!" Zhou Zhihao was so angry that smoke was coming out of his nostrils and fire was shooting from his eyes.

Qin Yi sneered and said, "Watch your tone when you talk to me, or I'll beat you up!"

Zhou Zhihao's pale face turned red; he was trembling with anger and cold!

Many people around looked over curiously.

Someone whispered.

"This kid is Qin Yi?"

"Even in that desolate place like the Ancient Desolate Continent, a true dragon was born!"

"With his Nirvana Realm cultivation, he passed the test on the first level of the Sword Cave with a perfect score. Even Zhou Zhihao, a mid-level disciple with the fifth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm, was no match for him."

"It's too early to call him a true dragon. Besides, Zhou Zhihao is just a piece of trash. There are plenty of people whose cultivation level is lower than his who can defeat him."

"That's true. Zhou Zhihao is a disgrace to the Starry Sky Palace."

Hearing the comments around him, Zhou Zhihao became even angrier, but he dared not refute them, because those people were people he could not afford to offend.

Just then.

The sound of a man and a woman talking could be heard in the distance.

Upon hearing the sound, Zhou Zhihao immediately became excited.

Li Zhen has arrived!

Li Zhen and a young man walked toward the square, chatting and laughing. The man was wearing a robe with the insignia of a senior disciple.

"Senior Sister Li!"

"I was worried you hadn't received the message I asked someone to pass on..."

Zhou Zhihao walked quickly toward Li Zhen.

Li Zhen stopped in her tracks, a hint of disgust on her face, and said coldly, "You sent someone to deliver a message to me?"

Zhou Zhihao nodded: "That's right. After I learned that Elder Fan was going to preach, I asked someone to inform you, because I knew you had wanted to learn swordsmanship from Elder Fan for a long time."

"The reason I didn't inform you in person is because this spot is extremely difficult to obtain. I've been camped out at the place where the spots are distributed for the past few days, not leaving for a moment."

"Fortunately, I finally managed to snag a spot."

"Actually, I was injured before, and the injury was quite serious, but for you, I'd rather stay here and stay than go for treatment."

As they spoke, Zhou Zhihao took out the token and handed it to Li Zhen, saying, "Senior Sister Li, the seat I secured for you is the third futon on the left in the tenth row."

Li Zhen did not accept Zhou Zhihao's token, but said indifferently, "No need, I already have a place."

Zhou Zhihao was taken aback.

Li Zhen said, "Senior Brother Huang helped me get this seat, and it's in the second row!"

Zhou Zhihao's expression became incredibly interesting as he looked at the senior male disciple next to Li Zhen.

The man smiled faintly and said, "I was just about to come and listen to Elder Fan's teachings, so I asked someone to reserve a seat in the second row for Junior Sister Li."

"You probably don't know me, but you should have heard my name: Huang Tianfang, the Sword of Unrivaled Power!"

Zhou Zhihao's facial expression froze completely.

"Aren't you going to pay your respects to Senior Brother Huang?" Li Zhen snorted coldly, her face showing displeasure.

Zhou Zhihao took a deep breath, bowed to Huang Tianfang, and then shifted his gaze with difficulty to Li Zhen, saying, "Senior Sister Li... please go and sit down at the seat I got for you..."

"It would be good to sit down for a bit, and then go back to the second row..."

"May I?"

Li Zhen's disgust deepened. She said, "Zhou Zhihao, I'm a member of the Li family. Among the intermediate disciples of the Starry Sky Palace, I'm quite well-known. You want me to sit in the last row? Is this an insult to me?"

"Furthermore, let me tell you, I came here not because you notified me, but because I had already made an appointment with Senior Brother Huang."

"Senior Brother Huang, I hope you don't misunderstand. This Zhou Zhihao often sends me messages, and I always have my servants dispose of them."

"It's not that I look down on his background; I just genuinely feel that we're not a good match. I've tried many times to persuade him not to waste his time and energy on me, but he's stubbornly persistent..."

"Of course, it's also my fault. I gave him some cultivation resources because I appreciated his hard work, which led to his misunderstanding."

Huang Tianfang nodded and said, "In this world, there are always many people who are unwilling to work hard and want to take shortcuts. If a good-for-nothing like him can get on the good side of the Li family, it will completely change his fate."

"Junior Sister Li is kind-hearted and gave him cultivation resources, but this is not your fault."

"Fortunately, you weren't fooled by his deliberate display of infatuation."

Li Zhen sighed and said, "Zhou Zhihao, don't do this again."

After saying that, Li Zhen and Huang Tianfang walked past Zhou Zhihao.

Zhou Zhihao stood there, stunned, like a piece of wood stuck in the ground.

Qin Yi looked at this scene with a slightly complicated expression.

But there was absolutely no sympathy for Zhou Zhihao.

Simps don't deserve sympathy.

It's all his own fault, he deserved it!

But just then...

Li Zhen also discovered Qin Yi.

The moment Li Zhen saw Qin Yi, her hair almost stood on end!

It felt as if a flame had exploded in her heart!

Huang Tianfang noticed the change in Li Zhen's emotions. He followed her gaze to Qin Yi and asked, "Junior Sister Li, do you know him?"

Li Zhen gritted her teeth and said, "Not only do we know each other, we also have a grudge against each other. He's Qin Yi!"

"Oh?" A strange light flashed in Huang Tianfang's eyes, and then he sneered, "Qin Yi, this is not a place you are qualified to be. In addition, Junior Sister Li does not want to see you. You'd better know your place and get lost."

Qin Yi nodded and said, "Show me how to roll? I want to learn how."

Huang Tianfang's lips twitched, then he flew into a rage and shouted, "Boy, do you know who you're talking to?"

Qin Yi nodded seriously again and said, "Simp number two."

"You..." Huang Tianfang was consumed by rage.

"Senior Brother Huang, don't fall for his provocation. This man is cunning and is trying to provoke you. If you make a move here, the consequences will be severe," Li Zhen said.

After all, this is the place where Elder Fan Xuanfeng will soon be preaching.

If things go wrong, you'll be in deep trouble.

After calming Huang Tianfang down, Li Zhen took a few steps toward Qin Yi and stood in front of him.

She looked down at Qin Yi, who was sitting on the futon, and sneered, "Qin Yi, don't you like to take a gamble?"

"Do you dare to come again?"

"That day, you and I both received the inheritance of the Twelve Swords of Lingyin."

"Today, let's have a proper exchange using the Twelve Swords of Lingyin."

"If I win, you'll roll around here, round and round, until nobody can see you anymore!"

"If you beat me, you can have my second-row seat!"

In this situation, a fight would definitely lead to trouble, but if you phrase it differently, it's a completely different story.

Everyone is here to learn swordsmanship from Elder Fan Xuanfeng!

Therefore, exchanging and practicing sword techniques is naturally no problem.

Li Zhen was very confident.

Because she had already secretly practiced the Twelve Swords of Lingyin.

The last time I went to obtain the inheritance, it was just to complete a formality.

In recent days, under the guidance of the powerful members of the Li family, she has become even more proficient in mastering the Twelve Swords of Lingyin.

As long as Qin Yi nods.

She was absolutely certain that she could make Qin Yi leave this place humiliated and scramble away!

Qin Yi was growing increasingly fond of these scions of wealthy and powerful families.

Li Zhen is forcing him to accept the second-row seats!

The next moment, he stood up.

She was much taller than Li Zhen.

Li Zhen, who had been looking down at Qin Yi just moments before, suddenly lost all her arrogance.

Qin Yi's lips curled into a smile as he said, "Since you still want to humiliate yourself, then I'll grant your wish!"
