As they left the forbidden area of the Zhan clan, the sky was already turning white. When Qin Xin appeared at the gate with the sun pattern, Zhan Sheng and the others had already disappeared.
Qin Xin smiled calmly, naturally understanding Zhan Sheng's meaning. This was nothing more than an attempt to get rid of him, to completely sever ties with him. Without lingering, he turned and left the Zhan family manor.
At the entrance of the Zhan Clan Manor, Qin Xin ran into Zheng Qiu, who was holding a package in her hands.
"Qin Xin, this is what Miss Qingyue asked me to give to you."
Zheng Qiu said somewhat naively, handing the package in his hand to Qin Xin, and then said, "Both young ladies wanted to come and see you off, but they were both confined to their quarters by the clan leader."
After receiving the package, Qin Xin glanced at it and found it contained pills for healing and aiding cultivation, as well as some dry rations. He was somewhat surprised.
Qin Xin had never said he wanted to leave Dading City, but Zhan Qingyue had already guessed it, and for a moment she couldn't help but admire the woman's wisdom.
"Thank you so much, Brother Zheng!"
Without refusing, Qin Xin put the package into his Qiankun bag.
After saying goodbye to Zheng Qiu, Qin Xin hurriedly left while Da Ding City was still quiet. After confirming the direction of Donghuang Academy, his figure gradually disappeared into Da Ding City.
Outside a boudoir in the Zhan clan manor, Zheng Qiu told the inner voice that Qin Xin had already left Dading City.
After two soft sighs, Zheng Qiu slowly retreated.
At this moment, in an exquisite boudoir, two women dressed in sheer nightgowns, their hair loose, were constantly adjusting the candle in front of them. However, the more they adjusted the candle, the smaller the flame became, until it slowly went out.
"Sister, do you think Qin Xin will blame me?"
With her eyes already red and swollen from crying, Zhan Qingqi looked at the slightly more mature Zhan Qingyue beside her and said in a tearful voice.
"Silly sister, don't overthink it. He must know the difficulties of the Zhan clan, so he naturally won't blame you."
As Zhan Qingyue gently stroked Zhan Qingqi's hair, the image of a young man appeared in her mind. This young man had a resolute face and a gentle smile.
"Alas, after this parting, I don't know when we will meet again."
With Zhan Qingyue's comfort, Zhan Qingqi's sobs gradually subsided. Unfortunately, despite Qin Xin's best efforts to help her, she was unable to even say goodbye as he left, and both sisters were confined to their rooms.
"We will meet."
Zhan Qingyue smiled slightly, and Zhan Qingqi also raised her delicate face, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes.
~~~~~~
In a palace within the royal palace of Dading City.
On a large bed, spring was in the air, three bodies were intertwined, and soft moans could be heard from time to time.
The palace maids standing to the side had their faces flushed crimson.
A guard rushed into the palace, knelt on one knee beside the large bed, and respectfully said to the man who was working hard on the bed, "Your Highness, according to the soldiers guarding the city gate, Qin Xin has already left Dading City!"
Upon hearing this, the man on the large bed stopped what he was doing, and his soft moans abruptly ceased.
The two women began to moan softly, still somewhat unsatisfied.
"If he's hiding in the Pill Tower of Dading City, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do about him. Since he's come out to his death, then he can't be blamed!"
Ding Sheng lay naked on the large bed, with two women dressed as palace maids lying on his back, constantly blowing on him, exuding a seductive charm.
"Notify Ding Hao to bring Qin Xin's head to me within three days!"
"yes!"
The guard turned and left. Immediately afterward, lewd laughter echoed from within the palace, and the two palace maids who had been enjoying themselves on the large bed immediately screamed in agony.
Blood flowed down the edge of the bed to the floor, and the palace maids serving around them were instantly terrified and lay prostrate on the ground.
"Hmph! Clean it up!"
Ding Sheng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stood up from the large bed, and the palace maids beside him hurriedly got up to help him change his clothes.
With a flick of his sleeve, Ding Sheng's figure vanished from the main hall, slowly walking towards the back of the palace. He arrived at a somewhat dark underground palace, where innocent souls seemed to be constantly howling above a churning pool of blood.
Ding Sheng knelt quietly in place, waiting for the black-robed old man in the blood pool, as wisps of aura capable of destroying heaven and earth continuously emanated from the surroundings.

After leaving Dading City, Qin Xin, for safety reasons, did not travel through the cities along the way to Black Dragon City, but instead chose to go directly into the Withered Leaf Forest. Although there were many powerful monsters in the forest, this was exactly what Qin Xin wanted.
After subduing the Yang Fire Seed, Qin Xin's strength soared to the fifth level of the Awakening Realm. However, his foundation was slightly unstable and he needed to consolidate it through continuous battles.
Walking along the edge of the Dead Leaf Forest, you can occasionally see mercenary groups hunting monsters and collecting herbs.
Qin Xin avoided the group of people, and the mercenary group members were also somewhat wary of Qin Xin's strength, so they all chose to continue on their own.
After traveling for about half a day, Danqing suddenly told Qin Xin to stop.
"Teacher, what's wrong?"
Qin Xin was somewhat puzzled by Dan Qing's flustered voice, but still chose to stay where he was.
Danqing's somewhat ethereal spirit immediately floated out, pointed at Qin Xin's Qiankun bag, and said, "Quickly take out the rewards you won at the Alchemy Conference!"
Hearing Danqing's somewhat anxious voice, Qin Xin did not hesitate and directly took out the Soul-Nourishing Spirit Tree, the Poria Green Pill, and the Poria Green Pill formula.
Something's fishy!
With a wave of his illusory hand, Danqing sent the emerald green spirit tree with its several tender green leaves slowly flying into his hand.
"We're being tracked!"
Holding the Soul-Nourishing Tree, Danqing's eyebrows furrowed.
Upon hearing this, Qin Xin was somewhat flustered. He hadn't expected that the group from Dading City would arrive so quickly.
With a light tap of his finger, Danqing extracted a deep crimson thread from the Soul-Nourishing Spirit Tree. The thread, seemingly possessing sentience, charged directly at Qin Xin the instant it was removed.
Fortunately, Danqing directly activated the Flame of Life, and the deep red thread instantly dissipated.
"Leave this place quickly." After dealing with everything, Danqing took the Soul-Nourishing Spirit Tree back to the mysterious fragment. A voice also rang in Qin Xin's mind as he was on his way, "I originally wanted to wait a while until my spirit body stabilized before using this Soul-Nourishing Spirit Tree, but it seems I can't wait any longer. It may take me quite a while to refine this Soul-Nourishing Spirit Tree. You must be extra careful in the next few days and make sure not to expose your whereabouts."
Faced with the formidable enemies that were about to arrive, Danqing was more nervous than ever before, as if she were extremely wary of the deep red silk threads.
Not long after Qin Xin left, several powerful martial artists slowly appeared, and the red light on the palm of one of them instantly faded.
"Could that kid have discovered us?" The man in armor carefully examined the surrounding traces, a strange look flashing in his eyes. "It seems that kid didn't leave long ago. They must have scattered and found us!"
After the man in armor gave the order, the several people following him split up and searched in several directions.
