There is a certain distance between Heilongcheng and Tianyuancheng.
In the past, it might have taken several days to travel through the dead leaf forest to reach the destination.
However, Qin Xin has now entered the eighth level of the Qi Sea Realm, and his body has enough true qi to support his journey. If there are no delays along the way, he can arrive in just two days.
After leaving Black Dragon City, Qin Xin and Qin Xue rushed towards Tianyuan City without any delay.
As they passed through a valley, Qin Xin suddenly stopped.
Qin Xue followed behind, asking with some confusion, "Why did Qin Xin stop? This Dead Leaf Forest isn't safe."
After turning around, Qin Xin revealed a row of snow-white teeth and said with a smile, "Sister Xue, my stomach is a little uncomfortable. You go ahead and I'll catch up with you later."
Seeing Qin Xin's shameless appearance, Qin Xue rolled her eyes at him helplessly, then headed towards Tianyuan City, but slowed down her pace, as if worried that Qin Xin couldn't keep up.
As Qin Xue's figure disappeared, a cold glint suddenly flashed across Qin Xin's face.
After glancing in the direction of Black Dragon City, Qin Xin murmured, "The feng shui of this valley is quite good. Since you're here, you can all stay here!"
After a murmur, the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Sword appeared in Qin Xin's hand, and he turned and walked into the valley.
With the roars of several demonic beasts, the valley fell silent once again.
The valley was originally the territory of a demonic serpent, but now it has been decapitated and killed by Qin Xin.
Immediately, the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Sword in Qin Xin's hand shone with blue and purple light. Under the activation of his Martial Spirit, the Azure Rock Fire and the purple lightning coiled around the Martial Spirit instantly flowed into the sword.
In an instant, the sword array on the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Sword burst forth with intense light. The moment the sword array was activated, countless patterns spread outwards along the ground and then disappeared.
Qin Xin could sense through his spiritual sense that after the sword formation was set up, there were no clues from the outside, but once you stepped into it, you would be constantly bombarded by lightning and fire.
In order to kill all those who came, Qin Xin took out all the spirit stones he had to maintain the operation of the sword formation.
Sitting cross-legged before the Nine Flames Immortal Sword, Qin Xin focused all his mind on the sword formation. Once someone stepped into the formation, he would activate it.

This location is approximately two kilometers from the valley.
Jia Yan and his group were also in a rapid pursuit.
After leaving Black Dragon City, they headed towards Tianyuan City.
The group had some plans. If they caught up with Qin Xin on the way, they could quickly deal with him and return to the Eastern Wilderness Academy. However, if Qin Xin hid, they could threaten him through the Tianyuan Qin Clan to force him to show himself.
As the second prince of the Great Xia Dynasty, Xia Qi naturally had some channels to obtain information about the various families of the dynasty.
Previously, I had specifically investigated the Tianyuan Qin Clan. Now, with the protection of Zhennan Prefecture, the Tianyuan Qin Clan has become the number one family in Tianyuan City, and the strongest among them is the current patriarch, Qin Qianfan.
Xia Qi was somewhat surprised by Qin Qianfan's past experiences. Qin Qianfan was once the number one student in the inner academy of the Eastern Wilderness Academy and had tried to open the main peak of the Kunmen, but ultimately failed.
Not long after Qin Qianfan went to Zhongzhou, he was carrying an infant in his arms. He stayed in his clan from then on and was never heard from again.
"Second Prince, with Qin Qianfan's strength, I'm afraid the rest of us..." Jia Yan was naturally very familiar with Qin Qianfan, and he also felt that the plan to use the Qin clan as a hostage was inappropriate.
After Xia Qi stopped, he glanced at Jia Yan and said, "It's alright."
Jia Yan immediately smiled knowingly, because he sensed that there seemed to be a powerful figure following Xia Qi all the way, as if secretly protecting his safety.
"Hmm?" Suddenly, Jia Yan stopped in his tracks.
Then Jia Yan looked towards the distant valley, his eyes filled with joy, "It seems we don't need to go to Tianyuan City anymore, that Qin Xin kid has stopped."
Upon hearing this, Yun Yi said impatiently, "Then what are we waiting for? After we deal with him, his sister Qin Xue will also give us a good time!"
Yun Yi and Ji Ju, who had just recovered, were originally not allowed to go with Yun Lei, since Jia Yan was there and they were not needed. However, the two of them wanted to personally trample Qin Xin under their feet, so they secretly followed along.
As they spoke, the group had already reached the outside of the valley.
"Should we check our surroundings? This Qin Xin is cunning and treacherous; we've suffered quite a few losses at his hands!" Ji Ju looked into the valley with some apprehension. He always had a bad feeling. His battle with Qin Xin at the Eight Gates Martial Arts Tournament had made him deeply aware of the terrifying strength of Qin Xin.
"Hey Ji Ju, are you scared of Qin Xin? If you're scared, you might as well go back now," Ruan Yuan, who was following behind Xia Qi, said to Ji Ju with some disdain.
"What did you say!" Ji Ju was furious. Although he was no match for Qin Xin, he was still very confident that he could defeat Ruan Yuan.
"Alright!" Xia Qi immediately stopped the two of them. "Qin Xin is only at the eighth level of the Qi Sea Realm. With Dean Jia here, he shouldn't be able to cause any trouble!"
With his cultivation at the fifth level of the Yuanfu Realm, Jia Yan naturally didn't take Qin Xin too seriously. He felt that he could easily deal with him with a simple move. Previously, he had been wary of Qin Xin because of the Eastern Wilderness Academy, which was why he hadn't been able to make a move against him. Now that the opportunity had come, he naturally wouldn't give Qin Xin any chance to escape.
As soon as Xia Qi finished speaking, Jia Yan stepped into the valley without saying a word, and Xia Qi and Ruan Yuan quickly followed.
Ji Ju hesitated for a moment. Standing outside the valley, he felt uneasy, as the Purple Thunder Nine Seals Technique was subtly fluctuating within his body.
Seeing Ji Ju's appearance, Yun Yi stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "With Dean Jia here, there shouldn't be any problems. Let's go."
“But…” Ji Ju still didn’t want Yun Yi to enter.
Seeing Ji Ju's persistence, Yun Yi didn't say anything. As he walked into the valley, he said, "If you're worried, wait here. We'll return to the Eastern Wilderness Academy together after we come out."
"It seems that Qin Xin possesses a flying martial art. Such a valuable skill cannot be allowed to fall entirely into Xia Qi's hands!"
After saying that, Yun Yi's figure disappeared into the valley.
After hesitating for a moment, Ji Ju looked at the several figures in the valley and quickly followed.
