"Don't worry, it'll be fine."

Qin Yang gave Shangguan Wan a reassuring look, then turned and walked out of the office.

Shangguan Wan watched Qin Yang's departing figure, her heart filled with worry.

She prayed silently, hoping that Qin Yang would return safely.

Qin Yang walked out of the Fengling Group building and headed towards the suburbs.

His steps were neither hurried nor slow, seemingly casual, yet each step contained profound meaning.

He is waiting.

Waiting for Wang Zhi's arrival.

The location he chose was an abandoned cemetery.

Here, weeds grow rampant, rocks are jagged, and a cold wind blows, giving off a desolate and eerie atmosphere.

It was quiet all around; there wasn't even a bird chirping.

Only the wind rustling through the weeds made a "shush" sound.

Qin Yang stood in front of a broken tombstone, waiting quietly.

His figure appeared somewhat lonely in the afterglow of the setting sun.

"Come out."

Qin Yang suddenly spoke, his voice calm and indifferent.

It was as if they were talking to thin air.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a figure appeared in front of Qin Yang.

It was Wang Zhi!

He was dressed in black, with a cold and stern face, sharp eyes like an eagle, and a powerful aura emanating from his entire body.

Wang Zhi slowly walked up to Qin Yang, his eyes filled with a hint of greed and scrutiny.

"Qin Yang, your rise to power has been far too rapid."

Wang Zhi's voice was deep and had a metallic, grating quality that made it sound particularly eerie in this desolate graveyard.

"To reach the half-step Saint Realm in such a short time, there must be something fishy about it."

He paused, his gaze sharp as a knife, fixed intently on Qin Yang's eyes.

"Hand over your secret, and I might consider sparing your life."

An unnamed fire ignited in Qin Yang's heart.

He was really fed up.

Starting with the Evil Serpent Master, they swarmed in like sharks smelling blood.

Everyone thought he had some earth-shattering secret.

But even he himself didn't know what this so-called "secret" was!

He worked hard to cultivate his skills, fought life-and-death battles, and got to where he is today step by step. In the eyes of these people, does he only deserve to be described as a "secret"?

He thought that dealing with Xue Liangwu would bring some peace and quiet for a while.

Unexpectedly, troubles kept piling up and never seemed to end!

He felt like a bone thrown into a pack of wolves, to be torn apart, fought over, and never have a moment of peace.

This feeling disgusted him, exhausted him, and made him angry!

Qin Yang took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart.

Qin Yang raised his head and looked directly into Wang Zhi's eyes, his gaze as cold as a knife.

There are no secrets here.

His voice was low and hoarse, each word sounding as if it were being squeezed out from between his teeth.

"roll!"

"Otherwise, die!"

Qin Yang practically roared out the last word, "death."

The sound echoed in the empty graveyard, carrying a sense of determination and murderous intent.

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhi laughed instead of getting angry.

His laughter was hoarse, which sounded particularly eerie in the gloomy environment.

"Still pretending?"

Wang Zhi's smile gradually faded, and his eyes turned cold and vicious.

"Qin Yang, do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?"

"If you won't listen to reason, then don't blame me for being impolite!"

"court death!"

Before he finished speaking, Wang Zhi's aura suddenly erupted.

A powerful pressure, like a mountain, pressed down on Qin Yang.

The surrounding air seemed to have frozen.

The already crumbling tombstones shattered even more violently under this oppressive force.

Sand and stones flew, and dust billowed everywhere.

However, something unexpected happened to Wang Zhi.

Qin Yang remained completely unmoved under this overwhelming aura!

He didn't even frown, maintaining his cold and indifferent expression, as if what Wang Zhi released was just a negligible breeze.

How is this possible?!

A storm raged in Wang Zhi's heart.

He is a true half-step Saint Realm peak, only one step away from the real Saint Realm!

Even experts at the same half-step Saint Realm would not be able to move so easily under the pressure of his aura.

At the very least, one should have a solemn expression and fight with all one's might.

But what about Qin Yang?

He acted as if nothing had happened, completely ignoring his imposing presence!

This is not scientific!

This doesn't make sense!

But Wang Zhi did not back down because of this.

On the contrary, Qin Yang's behavior only strengthened his suspicions.

"Something's definitely fishy!"

Wang Zhi's eyes flashed with a sharp light, his greed intensifying.

He was convinced that the reason Qin Yang was able to ignore his pressure was not because Qin Yang was particularly powerful, but because he possessed some kind of secret treasure that no one knew about!

This treasure can withstand powerful auras and even help Qin Yang challenge opponents of higher levels!

Thinking of this, Wang Zhi felt a surge of excitement.

If he could obtain this treasure, his strength would surely increase by leaps and bounds, and he might even have the chance to glimpse the true holy realm!

At that time, who in the entire Nanjiang Province will be able to stand against him?

"Qin Yang!"

Wang Zhi roared again, his voice booming like muffled thunder.

"I'll say it one last time, hand over your secret!"

"Otherwise, this place will be your burial ground today!"

His voice was filled with threat and killing intent; every word seemed to carry immense force, crashing down on Qin Yang.

The surrounding air vibrated violently from his roar, making a buzzing sound.
