Inside the Thunder Pavilion of the Eastern Wilderness Academy.
A boy with torn clothes stood in the main hall, kneeling on one knee, his eyes filled with resentment.
"Young Master Yun, I'm sorry I failed to fulfill your orders. I am willing to accept the punishment!"
The boy sat cross-legged in front of him with a hint of guilt. Behind him, a large eagle shrouded in black mist appeared, its sharp talons flashing with purple lightning from time to time.
Yun Yi exhaled a breath of stale air, looked at the boy kneeling on one knee, raised his eyebrows slightly, stood up, walked down and helped him up, "It's alright, it's good that you've returned safely."
"Young Master Yun, if Shui Qingxi hadn't risked breaking through, I wouldn't have lost to her," Ji Ju said somewhat unwillingly.
Upon hearing that Shui Qingxi had risked her life to break through her cultivation level, Yun Yi exclaimed in surprise, "Oh? Risking her life to break through her cultivation level? Is Qin Xin worth such a huge risk for her?"
Yun Yi was naturally aware of Shui Qingxi's identity. He had tried to get close to her many times, but was always turned away by the people of Fan Hua Ge. Now that Shui Qingxi had joined the main peak of Kunmen, he had even fewer opportunities to see her.
"Shui Qingxi's fighting style is terrifying. She seems to disregard her own injuries. If I hadn't escaped quickly, I'm afraid I would have already perished at her hands." Ji Ju looked somewhat shocked and coughed a few times as he spoke, as if he had injured his internal organs.
Yun Yi quickly asked Ji Ju to sit down and inquired, "How is Qin Xin? Did Ruan Xiaoman and the others kill him?"
"I don't think there will be any problems," Ji Ju said thoughtfully. "I fought with Shui Qingxi for more than an hour, so I don't think Yu Haoqian will make a mistake."
Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Yun Yi's eyes. "I didn't expect this kid to be able to restart the Kun Sect's main peak. I hope this kid can be killed."
As the two were talking, a disciple of Lei Ge rushed in, looking rather flustered.
"What's the panic! What's going on?" Yun Yi glanced at the flustered Lei Ge disciple and scolded him angrily.
Upon hearing Yun Yi's angry rebuke, the flustered Lei Ge disciple was so frightened that he immediately lay down in the hall, saying, "Young Master Yun, Yu Haoqian has already returned to the inner courtyard."
"Oh? Did they take care of Qin Xin?" Yun Yi asked with some joy upon hearing the news.
"No...no, Yu Haoqian asked me to tell you that Han Yao died at the hands of Qin Xin," the Lei Ge disciple lying on the ground stammered.
Upon hearing of Han Yao's death, Yun Yi quickly approached the Lei Ge disciple. "What? You mean Han Yao was killed by Qin Xin? How is that possible!"
Sensing the killing intent emanating from Yun Yi before him, the Lei Ge disciple trembled slightly as he said, "Yes...yes."
"waste!"
After a furious shout, Yun Yi stomped his foot on the back of the Lei Ge disciple.
The latter was sent flying backwards and landed outside the hall, its fate unknown for a moment.
"Young Master Yun, Han Yao's death will likely cause a lot of trouble, especially with his brother Han Sui..." Ji Ju said with some concern.
Yun Yi raised his hand to interrupt Ji Ju, who was about to speak, and said somewhat warily, "Yu Haoqian and the others said that Han Yao died at Qin Xin's hands, but there is no evidence at all. They didn't even bring back Han Yao's body. I don't think Han Sui would believe it easily. Keep this a secret for now. I'll go and tell Grandpa about this first."
After saying that, Yun Yi disappeared from the hall, and Ji Ju also hurriedly returned to begin treating his injuries as soon as possible in order to avoid any hidden injuries.

Qin Xin, Shui Qingxi, and Tie Niu spent a day in this secluded cave.
Although Tie Niu has not fully recovered, he is already able to circulate his true energy. Although he cannot unleash the full power of the second level of the Aperture Realm, ordinary Aperture Realm martial artists are no match for him.
As for Shui Qingxi, Qin Xin didn't know, but judging from her rosy complexion, no longer as pale as before, she seemed to have fully recovered.
Let's go!
Seeing that both of them had finished healing, Qin Xin was relieved.
Qin Xin was constantly worried about the current situation in Tianyuan City.
Shui Qingxi and Tie Niu were aware of the predicament the Tianyuan Qin Clan was facing, so they dared not delay. After leaving the cave, the three of them immediately rushed towards Tianyuan City.
~~~~~~
Inside Tianyuan City.
The council hall of Qin Clan Mountain Villa.
The old man in the gray robe sat to one side, his breathing somewhat weak. It was not hard to tell from his pale face that he had suffered a serious injury.
“Father, the Iron-Blooded Mercenary Group has now seized all of the Qin clan’s properties, and some of the clansmen who were sent abroad have returned to the manor.”
A middle-aged man with a somewhat haggard face looked exhausted.
"That bastard Ouyang Jie! Old Mo shouldn't have let him go back then!" Qin Lin slammed his fist on the table in anger, his blood rushing to his head, and he couldn't help but cough a few times.
Qin Qianfan quickly stepped forward and patted Qin Lin on the back, saying with concern, "Father, please take care of yourself."
"It's alright. Alas, it's all my fault for being incompetent and unable to protect the Qin clan!" Qin Lin patted Qin Qianfan's hand, shook his head, and his eyes were full of dejection.
Seeing his father's appearance, Qin Qianfan's face also turned bitter. "The Iron Blood Mercenary Group must have been instructed by Qin Lang, otherwise they wouldn't dare to start a war with us on their own. Now that Elder Mo is injured, alas."
"Elders, do you have any ideas on how our clan can overcome this crisis?" Qin Qianfan asked after a moment's hesitation.
"Clan leader, instead of sitting and waiting to die, I think we should fight these bastards!" the second elder said angrily.
The Third Elder beside him shook his head, "I'm afraid this move will be like throwing an egg against a rock."
For a moment, the entire council hall was filled with noise. Many clansmen felt that the entire clan should move away from Tianyuan City. Of course, there were also many clansmen who felt that they should live and die with their clan. If the Iron Blood Mercenary Group attacked, they would not let the Iron Blood Mercenary Group get away with it even if they died.
"That's it! Now it seems there's no way to escape even if we wanted to. The entire Tianyuan City has been sealed off by the Iron Blood Mercenary Group." Qin Lin looked at the noisy clansmen below, his face appearing even older, and he got up to leave the council hall.
"Didn't Miss Qin Xue and Qin Xin both join the Eastern Wilderness Academy? We can ask the Eastern Wilderness Academy for help."
Suddenly, a clansman's voice rang out, and the group, as if grasping at a lifeline, began to continue their discussion.
"Nonsense!" Qin Lin retorted angrily. "The Eastern Wilderness Academy doesn't concern itself with these family feuds. If we send them back, wouldn't that be sending them to their deaths?"
"But..." Some of the clansmen still had some doubts.
Qin Lin glared at the clansman and said, "No buts, let's not discuss this anymore. These two are the last seeds of my Tianyuan Qin Clan. As long as they are here, the Tianyuan Qin Clan is not considered extinct!"
After saying this, Qin Lin left the council hall with his aged steps.
For a moment, the clansmen in the council hall were all preoccupied with their own thoughts. After the clansmen returned to their courtyards, the entire Qin Clan Manor fell into a deathly silence.
As night fell.
Many clansmen, already terrified, disregarded Qin Lin's words and secretly fled the Qin Clan Manor. They had no intention of sharing life and death with their clan.
Qin Lin and Qin Qianfan were aware of this, but they did not stop them and allowed these clansmen to leave.
