Chapter 80: Stalking a Sneaker

After leaving the Poison Saw-Toothed Tiger, Qin Yi went to look for another Magical Beast.

He saw several Rank 1 Magical Beasts along the way, but he didn't fight them down because they were too weak compared to the Poison Saw-Toothed Tiger. 

Fighting with them will not let him gain fighting experience. Instead, he will only bullying them.

After walking for a while and fighting against three Rank 1 Magical Beasts comparable to the Poison Saw-Toothed Tiger, Qin Yi suddenly stopped and moved his Qi to his ears to enhance his hearing.

There is a fight over there!

The biggest difference between a mortal and a cultivator was the ability to use Qi. A normal person could have amazing senses, but after a point, they will hit a limit. Meanwhile, a cultivator could manipulate their Qi to enhance their senses.

By using his Qi, Qin Yi could faintly hear thr clashes of a fight about a mile away and knew exactly which direction the sound was coming from.

Following the sound, he rushed there quietly. Pushing back the branches, he found a forest scene with human figures fighting and a gigantic python.

When he was thirty steps away from the battlefield, he jumped up onto a big tree to watch the fight from above.

In the woods, there was an emptied grassy field about fifteen meters long, and in that field, there were five teenagers holding weapons in their hands surrounding that Magical Beast.

Its body was a python about fifteen meters long with elegant purple scales. Its hisses its long vicious tongue while revealing sharp and poisonous fangs.

This Magical Beast is called the Purple Monarch Python, a Rank 1 Magical Beast with power equivalent to a late-stage Qi Condensation Realm cultivator.

Purple Monarch Python are considered as an overload among Rank 1 Magical Beasts. Putting aside its deadly poison that is extremely potent, its raw power is something that even Peak of Qi Condensation Realm cultivators couldn't underestimate.

When Qin Yi looked over at the teenagers, he immediately recognized those people among them. Two of them were Lin Feng and Lu Yun, and the rest were outer sect disciples who were used to being seen around Lin Feng. 

Qin Yi was a little surprised to see them here, especially Lu Yun.

After he suffered the impurity attack, that fellow's cultivation base regressed by one stage from the Third Stage of Qin Condensation Realm to the Second Stage of Qin Condensation Realm.

After that incident, he turned into a quiet person and stopped stirring trouble in the outer sect. Qin Yi thought that Lu Yun no longer dared to cause trouble with him.

But who would have thought he would be seen here. What's more, he was here with Lin Feng.

After Qin Yi witnessed this scene, he was now convinced with his speculation.

It seemed that the person behind Lu Yun is Lin Feng.

Qin Yi is not completely stupid and dense. Ever since Lu Yun kept bothering him, he had already started to sorting out which people might hold a grudge against him.

Lin Feng is one of them.

Although Qin Yi believed that he is very low-key and never took the initiative to make enemies in the sect, he realized that in this world, even if he did nothing, there must be one or two people who looked at you like you were a nuisance.

Qin Yi showed off his archery skills almost every day in the archery field, even though he had no intention to do that.

Whenever Duan Zhong went over to him and praised his skills, he would always accidentally see Lin Feng's eyes filled with contempt and jealousy.

At that time, Qin Yi didn't think much since he thought it was natural for someone like Lin Feng to be jealous of him, and he couldn't do anything about it either.

It's not like he had to stop practicing archery just because someone else was jealous of his archery talent, right?

Just ignore it; envious people will slowly accept reality when they realize jealousy couldn't make them feel any better than others.

That was what he thought until Lu Yun appeared.

Even though he had no solid evidence that Lin Feng was the one who ordered Lu Yun to harm him, after witnessing this scene, he could be sure that his speculation was correct.

Lin Feng is the one behind Lu Yun.

——And he did that just for a petty reason.

Unfortunately, he messed with the wrong person.

Sooner or later, Qin Yi will definitely get back at him.

The five people attacking the Magical Beast were quite lacking but had great teamwork; perhaps this is a result of spending a lot of time together in many different situations, who knows?

Lin Feng, holding a Normal Grade sword artifact, was trying his best to deal with the most vulnerable part of the Purple Monarch Python. 

Although he was usually seen in the archery field, Qin Yi heard that this guy was just learning archery recently Therefore, his archery skill could only be considered as newbie.

By his side, there was a young man with a blade which was very bulky and powerful looking and a girl holding a whip in her hand. They continuously shouted and ran around the Magical Beast in an attempt to focus the attacks on themselves.

Meanwhile, due to his weak cultivation base, Lu Yun could only watch on the side.

Qin Yi wondered, what is this guy doing here anyway?

Just watching?

Maybe he is bait. Qin Yi couldn't help but let out a chuckle.

Although these two people worked very hard, their attacks were not as effective as Lin Feng and the other one in their party.

The last guy was an extremely fit young man in outer sect's uniform, holding a dangerous-looking spear; it was a Normal Artifact that Qn Yi had previously seen in the Treasure Pavilion, "Lightning Tiger Spear".

This artifact's value equals 1000 Merit Points, and Qin Yi had it in his storage system.

This spear is two-meter-long and seems very heavy. Every time the Purple Monarch Python was about to attack them, it would be beaten back by him and left with a bloody wound.

Qin Yi detected that this young man's cultivation base was Eight Stage of Qi Condensation Realm. He is clearly the strongest among these five people, while the second strongest is Lin Feng, the Seventh Stage of Qi Condensation Realm.

While they were busy fighting the Purple Monarch Python, Qin Yi saw that Lu Yun had secretly sneaked away and walked towards the cave behind that big snake.

Although Qin Yi didn't know what that fellow wanted to do by sneaking in like this, he didn't stay still as he quietly descended from the top of the tree and walked after Lu Yun.

That fellow is using the Hidden Night Cloak. Thus, the Purple Monarch Python was not aware of this movement.

But unbeknown to him, he wasn't the only person wearing the Hidden Night Cloak.

Silently stalking forward, these two successfully entered the cave without its owner's knowledge.

They began to explore the cave.

The cave itself was not that deep, only measuring about 30 meters. With a Luminous Flower in his hand, it brightens the darkness in the cave.

After a short walk, Lu Yun gasped at what he saw.

"There's really a Blood Scorching Flower here! That snake really wanted to monopolize it!"

Lu Yun snorted and confirmed it, "A flower about six inches tall, with five leaves in total, its stalk was deep red and faintly reflected the light. There's no doubt, this is a Blood Scorching Flower!"

After hearing Lu Yun, Qin Yi, hiding behind the boulder, couldn't help but be surprised as his eyes rose slightly.

Blood Scorching Flower is a Rank 3 heaven and earth material that is useful for improving bloodline. Hearsay, this heaven and earth material is also a crucial ingredient in manufacturing the aptitude-enhancing pill called the Sky Dragon Pill.

Either way, those two values are extremely useful and enough to drive cultivators crazy at the sight of them.

So, the Purple Monarch Python was guarding this cave because of this heaven and earth material?

Moreover, Lu Yun's group also seemed to know the existence of the Blood Scorching Flower. The reason they ganged up on the Purple Monarch Python was to seize this treasure by chance.

While Lin Feng and the others were distracting the Purple Monarch Python, Lu Yun, who was the weakest among them, would take that opportunity to sneak into its nest and steal the Blood Scorching Flower.

It was a very classic strategy, but it usually worked on low intelligence Magical Beasts.

This time, Lu Yun spoke again in an excited tone.

"Lin Feng said that he will help me to regain my  aptitude and cultivation base as long as I successfully carry out this mission."

"Damn it, I don't know what kind of method that bastard Qin used to me, but it was so evil. My aptitude and cultivation base were demoted thanks to that bastard. Just wait you bastard, Lin Feng said he will deal with you personally after this matter is finished."
