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

After Qin Yi uttered the word "give up".

Everyone looked somewhat taken aback.

After all, in their minds, Qin Yi was the kind of person with a very strong personality, the type who would fight back if he disagreed with something.

Qin Yi turned to face Feng Yidao, Luo Fang, Huo Yan, and Zhang Hailin, and said, "Senior brother, senior sister, we can't fight anymore. The price is too high; we...can't afford it."

Feng Yidao was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and nodded.

Qin Yi's words carry considerable weight within the team these days.

Moreover, Feng Yidao also understood that it would be unwise to fight if they insisted on doing so.

Then, Qin Yi's gaze fell upon the Martial Alliance, the Demon Clan, and the group led by the Azure Cloud Pavilion. He cupped his hands in greeting and said, "I appreciate your kindness towards me, Qin Yi."

"But I have no intention of arguing anymore."

"Please, everyone, follow our Starry Sky Palace team and retreat together."

"Let's go!" Luo Hua of Qingyun Pavilion was the first to make the decision.

Their team was the weakest and suffered the most casualties; even Luo Hua was currently in a critical condition.

Staying here will definitely not end well.

Even if they were to unleash their innate energy, they would be completely outmatched and would only be bullied and humiliated by the Heavenly Extreme Sect and the Great River Sword Sect, and might even lose their lives.

"Let's go too!" said the fox-clan man in the demon race group.

Their morale was already extremely low due to the death of the 'Heavenly Fox Clan envoy,' and the previous battle had resulted in significant casualties. In addition, the fox clan man in charge was in a similar situation to Luo Hua, with serious injuries.

Furthermore, since they had clearly sided with the Starry Sky Palace, they would surely incur the wrath of the Heavenly Extreme Sect and the Great River Sword Sect.

So, I might as well just leave.

No matter how important one's innate vital energy is, it is not as important as life itself.

Seeing this, Wu Fei of the Martial Alliance had no choice but to decide to leave the Spirit Gathering Land.

Zhou Wei of the Great River Sword Sect, his face full of smugness and arrogance, said, "At least you know your place."

"However, if we stay here to collect innate energy, the demonic thieves will most likely come to compete for it as well. We will be representing the human race in this competition against them."

"Therefore, in order to prevent too much of your innate energy from being taken away by those demonic thieves, I think you should leave that quasi-saint artifact behind, Qin Yi. Consider it a loan to us. We'll return it to you when we're done using it."

Song Jin of the Heavenly Pole Sect nodded and said, "Qin Yi, this is considering the bigger picture!"

These two have once again lowered the bar for the word "shameless."

Should we lend it to them?

It's like throwing a meat bun to a dog—it's gone forever.

Qin Yi scoffed and said, "We've already made concessions, but if you still want to push your luck, then so be it—we'll fight to the death!"

The warriors from all four teams assumed fighting stances at this moment.

Song Jin's expression changed slightly. For them, avoiding a fight would be the best option, even though they were confident of victory, the cost of victory would be high.

In order to successfully collect innate energy, Song Jin sneered, "Then you'd better hide well and not be discovered by those demonic thieves. Otherwise, not only will you lose your treasures, but you'll also lose your lives!"

A fierce and ruthless glint flashed deep in Qin Yi's eyes as he said, "Then I must thank you for your kind reminder. I also wish you good luck, and hope you don't get wiped out by those demonic thieves!"

"Let's go!"

The four teams left.

Looking in the direction the four teams had left, Zhou Wei of the Great River Sword Sect said with a regretful expression, "Brother Song, what a pity, we couldn't get that quasi-sacred artifact."

Song Jin sneered and said, "It's too early to say that now. We'll look for an opportunity after the eruption of innate energy is over."

Zhou Wei's eyes flickered, and he smiled, "If there's no opportunity then, we'll create one."

"Brother Song, if I can obtain that quasi-sacred artifact, I will double the conditions I promised you!"

Song Jin's face lit up with anticipation as he said, "I believe our cooperation will be very pleasant!"

"Hahaha, of course it's delightful! I'm already feeling very delighted right now. After all, the innate energy is about to erupt, and only we can share it!" Zhou Wei laughed loudly.

…………

the other side.

The four teams that gave up competing for innate energy left the place where spirits gathered.

At Qin Yi's suggestion, the group did not separate.

Instead, they found a secluded place to heal their wounds.

After all, there were too many wounded, which seriously affected their combat effectiveness. Otherwise, even if Song Jin and Zhou Wei were strong, they wouldn't dare to be so arrogant.

Qin Yi exchanged a few words with everyone, and then he also needed to meditate and cultivate to recover his condition. He directly used his sword to dig a cave and instructed Li Zheng: "President, my condition is actually very bad. Please do not let anyone disturb me."

Li Zheng's expression was complex. He said in an extremely heavy tone, "Take care of yourself!"

He guessed something.

But now, he couldn't say much, so he could only subtly remind Qin Yi.

Huo Gang, standing to the side, patted his chest and said, "Fourth Brother, just rest inside and recuperate. We'll keep watch over you!"

Feng Tiexin also spoke up, "Although we've given up, don't feel too much pressure. No one will blame you for making this decision. It's precisely because everyone trusts you that they're retreating with you."

Qin Yi hummed in agreement and then entered the cave.

There were also some talismans in his storage ring.

Qin Yi used his skills to activate the talisman and seal the entrance to the cave.

next moment.

He, who had previously appeared extremely weak, suddenly became full of energy and spirit.

In particular, the murderous aura emanating from him was incredibly strong and extremely cold, making the cave seem like an ice cavern.

"It's been a long time since I've felt that urge to kill people."

"Song Jin, Zhou Wei, you just wait."

"The shadow of death will soon engulf you completely!"

In the blink of an eye, Qin Yi's nine flying swords whistled and quickly dug a passage into the cave floor.

Qin Yi entered the passage.

Half an hour later, he emerged from the passage.

At this moment, his location was more than ten miles away from where everyone was resting and healing.

Followed by.

Qin Yi took out a black robe and draped it over his shoulders.

The black robe instantly merged with his flesh and blood, and in just a few breaths, Qin Yi became a complete demon!

A dense demonic aura emanated from his body, plunging the surroundings into complete darkness.

The golem's power, even after only a small portion of it spilled out, already far surpassed that of the Demon Emperor's son, Ebony.

"Hehehe!"

Qin Yi let out a sinister, hoarse laugh.

The next moment, his figure shot out.

He did not go directly to the Spirit Gathering Land.

After all, Song Jin and Zhou Wei are both quite strong.

Moreover, the combined number of disciples of the Heavenly Extreme Sect and the Great River Sword Sect is only about seventy.

It would be unwise to just charge straight in like that.

If you get surrounded by the enemy, you will be in danger.

Therefore, Qin Yi also needs to find help!

Moreover, he has quite a few helpers!

With his keen sense of demonic energy, Qin Yi quickly detected a faint fluctuation of demonic energy and flew towards it.

More than an hour later.

Qin Yi entered a valley.

The valley was quiet.

Qin Yi looked around, then shouted, "All of you, get out here!"

At the same time, the demonic power emanating from him erupted even more fiercely, and the demonic energy around him began to boil.

Followed by.

One by one, the figures hidden in the valley rushed out.

Three demons, more than ten demon humans, and more than thirty human demon cultivators.

They stood together, keeping a certain distance from Qin Yi, all staring at him expectantly.

After all, they had never met Qin Yi before.

"Who are you……"

A demon man took a few steps forward, looking extremely puzzled. Who was this?

Qin Yi snorted coldly and shouted angrily:

"Ebony is a useless piece of trash!"

"I knew he couldn't get things done, so I rushed in, but I didn't expect he was still a little too late."

"He has completely disgraced the title of our Demon Emperor's Son!"

These words were spoken.

The group of demonic thieves all looked shocked.

The person before me is also a son of a Demon Emperor!

Looking at the pure demonic energy around Qin Yi and feeling the terrifying demonic power emanating from him, they had no doubts. After all, it was indeed more imposing than Wumutu!

"You all, listen up!"

"Now, obey my orders!"

"Immediately gather our scattered comrades!"

"I will lead you to defend the dignity of our demonic path!"

Qin Yi shouted loudly, his voice booming and deafening, instantly igniting the fighting spirit in the hearts of these demonic villains.

"Your Excellency, Son of the Demon Emperor."

"Please let us know your name!"

Qin Yi stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the sky at a 45-degree angle, his scarlet eyes revealing a profound meaning, and said, "Then listen carefully!"

"I, who will lead you to restore the glory of the demonic path and bring it to its full glory in the future, am called..."

"Gida!"
