After nightfall, Heilongcheng, having experienced the hustle and bustle of the day, becomes exceptionally quiet.
Above the pitch-black night sky, the silver moon hung high, its bright light draping the entire city in a silvery veil. The moonlight reflected off the roof tiles, giving the whole city a mysterious aura.
"Master, is there any way to conceal my presence and avoid being detected by the powerful figures in the academy?"
Qin Xin walked on the streets of Black Dragon City, deliberately choosing some secluded paths to pass through. His eyes flashed with both blue and red, and now they were filled with a chilling light.
"Of course!" A rhetorical voice echoed from within the mysterious fragment of the map in the Niwan Palace. "What, you intend to kill Ruan Yang?"
"This person attacked those close to me; naturally, I cannot let him get away with it!" Qin Xin said coldly.
"It's just a small Eastern Wilderness Academy. If you want to kill me, go ahead and do it. I will help you conceal your presence."
Danqing said calmly, "Let's go. Give me your body, and my spirit can completely erase your aura. Those people from the Eastern Wilderness Academy won't be able to detect you."
"Hmm!" Qin Xin nodded, and as he stepped forward, a strange power surged from his Niwan Palace.
This inexplicable power quickly enveloped Qin Xin's entire body. His feet lightly stepped on the hidden path, and his figure disappeared silently, like a wisp of black smoke, moving through Black Dragon City without a sound, like a cheetah hidden in the darkness, searching for its prey.
~~~~~~
Inside a mansion in Black Dragon City.
A group of people dressed in Black Dragon City patrol uniforms were drinking and making merry, accompanied by beautiful women, and occasionally letting out lewd laughter.
Qin Xin learned quite a bit about Ruan Yang from Jin Yuanbao.
Ruan Yang's family wields considerable power in the Great Xia Dynasty, serving as a key figure in the Great Xia royal family. With a large family and nearly a thousand young members, many students in the Eastern Wilderness Academy are wary of Ruan Yang's family's influence and give them some face. This has made Ruan Yang arrogant and prone to bullying other students, and he has also taken many lives. Because his methods are relatively covert, and given his brother's position within the inner courtyard of the Eastern Wilderness Academy, even if some elders in the outer courtyard notice some clues, they choose to turn a blind eye.
This mansion in Black Dragon City was recently seized by Ruan Yang from an academy member after he was assigned to the Black Dragon City patrol team.
"Please continue, everyone. I'm going to enjoy myself now! Haha..."
At the head of the mansion, Ruan Yang stood up, feeling dizzy, and draped his arms over two scantily clad women, lewdly laughing.
"Captain, take it easy, hahaha..."
The other patrol members joined in the jeering and laughter.
"We've damaged that gold ingot so badly today, won't the academy cause trouble for us?!"
A discordant voice rang out from the patrol team.
"What are you afraid of? With Young Master Ruan here, who dares to touch us!"
"That's right!"
The other team members fawned over him from the sidelines.
"Alright, finish your food and get out of here!"
Ruan Yang kicked the person who had started the commotion, clearly in a bad mood. He was now not only going to deal with Qin Xin, but he wouldn't let any of the people around him go either.
Supported by two women, Ruan Yang staggered towards the backyard.
In the backyard, Qin Xin, possessed by the Danqing spirit body, hid in a dark corner.
"That guy is back," Danqing transmitted his voice.
Qin Xin saw Ruan Yang and two women through the crack in the door.
At this moment, Ruan Yang had already taken off all his clothes, and the two women were left with only thin gauze clothes. Under the candlelight, their skin revealed an alluring, snow-white glow.
"Take off all your clothes, I'm going to let loose today!"
Ruan Yang's lewd laughter echoed throughout the room.
"What an idiot whose brain is filled with sperm, Master, do it." Hearing Ruan Yang's laughter, Qin Xin felt nauseous and hurriedly urged Dan Qing to deal with the person in front of him.
"To be honest, I also find Ruan Yang disgusting."
Danqing sensed Qin Xin's thoughts, controlled Qin Xin's body, and with a wave of his hand, the room was enveloped by several restrictions.
"This is a smokescreen, kid, you should learn it well."
As soon as he finished speaking, a golden fire blade appeared beside Ruan Yang's bed.
"Wildfire Hundred Slashes!"
With a soft shout, the golden fire blade transformed into a streak of light. Under Danqing's control, the fire blade's external energy was not so violent, but its speed was incredibly fast. Ruan Yang had no way to dodge the sudden attack.
"Pfft! Sizzle!"
The fire blade pierced straight through Ruan Yang's body, and his blood had already congealed under the intense heat, without a single drop flowing out.
His body went limp and he collapsed, his pupils dilated, and he died without uttering a single word.
"Don't kill me!"
"I'm willing to serve you!"
"I'll do anything as long as you don't kill me!"
The two women, who were already naked, were now clutching their blankets in fear, their voices trembling as they spoke.
Qin Xin also sniffed, finding the stench in the air very unpleasant.
"nausea."
Qin Xin said calmly, and shot out two fire blades from his hand.
"Pfft! Pfft!"
As the voice faded, the two women's gazes froze, and they died in terror.
Qin Xin showed no mercy to his enemies, and even Dan Qing was surprised by his maturity and composure beyond his years.
Let's go!
Having resolved this trouble, Qin Xin breathed a slight sigh of relief and wanted to leave quickly before anyone noticed.
"Don't rush," Danqing suddenly said.
"What? Is there anything else?" Qin Xin asked, somewhat puzzled.
Danqing glared at Qin Xin, then shot out a golden flame from his hand, igniting the entire bed. In an instant, the three corpses turned into gray ashes, which mingled with the ashes of the bed and scattered throughout the room with a gentle breeze.
"Hmm, is there something?"
Within the ashes, there seems to be a scroll.
"This thing wasn't even burned by the strange fire?"
Qin Xin uttered a question and picked up the scroll to examine it.
The scroll looks somewhat tattered, but some of the routes recorded on it are still relatively complete, and there is a special peach blossom mark in one place.
"Is this the Forest of Dead Leaves?"
Looking at the terrain on the map, Qin Xin recognized the location marked on the map as being in the Dead Leaf Forest.
Qin Xin quickly put the scroll away. Due to the illusion, everything in Ruan Yang's room appeared normal from the outside.
"Boy, you still need to learn how to kill properly from your master."
After resolving everything and erasing all traces, Danqing and Qin Xin disappeared into the night.
“Master, there seems to be an opportunity recorded in this scroll.”
On the way back to the academy, Qin Xin asked.
"That should be right, but we're already deep in the Dead Leaf Forest, which should be extremely dangerous," Danqing said cautiously.
"Hehe, with Master here, it should be quite safe to go deep into the Dead Leaf Forest."
Qin Xin said without any concern.
"Alright, stop flattering me. Controlling your body will have a significant impact on my spirit. If I didn't also find that kid Ruan Yang disgusting, I wouldn't be helping you with this." Danqing rolled her eyes at Qin Xin and said.
As they approached the entrance to the outer courtyard of the Eastern Wilderness Academy, Danqing withdrew her spiritual body and entered the fragmented map space to recuperate.
"This illusion should be fading soon. Let's head back to the academy before those powerful figures discover us!"
Danqing reminded him.
