Chapter 1103:

Luo Mengyi was instantly left speechless.

Wang Baihe shook his head and sighed, "And according to the information from within the sect, this Qin Qi wasn’t even originally someone from inside the Secret Realm. He came here from the outside—straight from the Mortal World!"

"When he first arrived in the Secret Realm, he was just a wild brat who had barely advanced to the Foundation Establishment Stage, but now, in only a year, he’s already broken through to the Core Formation Stage!"

"What does this mean? It means Qin Qi managed to break through to Foundation Establishment Stage in that spiritually deprived environment!"

"And upon entering the Secret Realm, in just a year he reached the Core Formation Stage. Mengyi, honestly, could you ever accomplish that?"

Luo Mengyi, faced with her master’s words, was at a loss for words, and for a moment couldn’t say anything at all!

Wang Baihe’s eyes were heavy. "Now, do you still think this Qin brat can’t stir up any trouble? If we don’t kill him this time, there may not be another chance. Honestly, I’m worried—if that kid’s given enough time and he breaks through to the Nascent Soul Stage!"

"For our Xuan Yi Sect, that would be a catastrophic upheaval disaster!"

Luo Mengyi’s eyes suddenly flickered, as if she’d thought of something. "Master, there actually is a way to kill Qin Qi!"

Wang Baihe raised his eyebrows. "Oh? Tell me."

"You forgot something!" Luo Mengyi smiled charmingly. "The Celestial Martial Competition!"

Wang Baihe immediately perked up. "Oh? I almost forgot about that competition. It’s been specially arranged for you young cultivators!"

"They say, if someone gets first place, they’ll be awarded high tier Spiritual Treasure—the ’Phoenix Spirit Banner’, and the Phoenix Blood Pill, prepared by the Grand Battlefield."

"But, how are you so sure that brat will participate?"

Luo Mengyi beamed, "Did you forget about the Ji sisters’ situation?"

"Ji Family from the Southwest Region!" Wang Baihe squinted his eyes. "Yes, I’ve heard of them. Many Ji Family elders suffered heavy injuries during certain upheavals, leaving the Ji Family severely weakened!"

"Oh? So that’s it. If the Ji sisters could obtain the Phoenix Blood Pill, they’d have a chance to heal their elders and help them recover their vitality!"

"That’s exactly why the Ji sisters came to the Grand Battlefield. After all, the Phoenix Blood Pill, aside from winning the Celestial Martial Competition, is only available for exchange with one hundred thousand battle merits."

Luo Mengyi smiled brightly, "Exactly. With the sisters’ abilities, a hundred thousand battle merits? Heh, no way they could ever scrape that together in their lives!"

"But, why do you think Qin Qi would join the Celestial Martial Competition for the Ji sisters?" Wang Baihe asked.

Luo Mengyi snorted coldly, "Hmph, Qin Qi has refused the advances of so many powerful allies. If you ask me, it’s not complicated—it’s mostly those Ji sisters who’ve bewitched him!"

"He’s so reluctant to leave the Ji Family, so how could he not help them in the competition?"

Wang Baihe stroked his chin. "Makes sense. But, are you confident you can win against Qin Qi?"

"I dare not claim certainty, but if Brother Zhao is released, then with his skills, beating Qin Qi will be a piece of cake!"

Luo Mengyi suddenly showed a cruel smile. "If it comes down to the ring, with fists and feet flying blind, Master, you just need to give that treasure to Brother Zhao!"

"Then Brother Zhao will surely kill Qin Qi on the platform! And in the Celestial Martial Competition, what’s one dead genius—who’s gonna care?"

Wang Baihe immediately understood.

Listening to his disciple’s perfect plan,

he couldn’t help but laugh with delight. "Disciple, you’ve really grown up, helping your master worry less. You’re right—this is the Celestial Martial Competition, and I suppose even Yan Shuiming won’t sit still and will urge Qin Qi to join!"

...

And so, a few days later,

Qin Qi clearly had no idea about Wang Baihe and the Xuan Yi Sect members’ plot.

Right now, he was sitting on his bed, legs spread, face full of enjoyment.

Looking down, he could clearly see Ji Hongzhuang, stark naked, sliding in between Qin Qi’s legs, her head bobbing up and down.

Her cherry lips closed and parted, her service especially attentive.

Qin Qi stroked Ji Hongzhuang’s head, utterly satisfied with her performance, and teased, "Hongzhuang, you’re getting more and more skilled. Way better than before—you make me feel so damn good!"

"You’re terrible! No, I did not!" Ji Hongzhuang rolled her eyes with a playful pout.

Qin Qi grunted in reply.

Ji Hongzhuang jut her little lips immediately, "Master, I know I was wrong. From now on, I’ll always call you ’Master’!"

"Hongzhuang will only listen to Master from now on!"

Qin Qi was quite satisfied, "Alright, tell me—what do you really want?"

Ji Hongzhuang was clearly surprised by Qin Qi’s question.

"Why are you suddenly asking that, Master?"

Qin Qi said lazily, "Do you really think I’m some idiot? You and your sister have tried everything to draw me into your team, even letting this little minx here seduce me. If you didn’t have something you wanted, why else would you go this far?"

Ji Hongzhuang heard this, and a shadow flashed in her eyes.

She stopped what she was doing, parted her soft lips, and looked at Qin Qi with a pleading gaze, hesitating to speak.

Of course Qin Qi could tell what she was thinking, "Relax. Since you’re already my woman, if you need help, how could I not get involved?"

Ji Hongzhuang smiled at that, then started, "Everything is because of an upheaval in our Ji Family!"

"Oh?"

Quickly, Ji Hongzhuang explained everything to Qin Qi, detailing the whole story.

Upon hearing the full account, Qin Qi was enlightened.

"So, only the Phoenix Blood Pill can resolve your clan’s crisis. But the Phoenix Blood Pill can only be obtained from the Celestial Martial Competition, or from earning a hundred thousand battle merits!" Qin Qi said.

Ji Hongzhuang took a deep breath, "Exactly. With just our abilities, a hundred thousand battle merits? We’d die before ever gathering that much!"

"But if you help us, Master, maybe a hundred thousand battle merits isn’t just a dream!"

Qin Qi murmured, "A hundred thousand battle merits, huh..."

Even for him, he’d only managed to gather that much last time by rushing the general assault.

Under normal circumstances, getting that much wouldn’t be so easy.

With this on his mind, Qin Qi asked, "You mentioned the Celestial Martial Competition?"

"The Celestial Martial Competition is a tournament held by the Grand Battlefield—it’s a talent contest, meant to select the cream of the crop from the young cultivators!"

Ji Hongzhuang exhaled, "Still, earning the Phoenix Blood Pill by winning the tournament is hardly simple. All the geniuses on the Heaven Ranking will be participating!"

"Every Heaven Ranking genius is a monster among monsters. Even my sister is nothing compared to them!"

Qin Qi was very interested in the Celestial Martial Competition.

After all, besides the Phoenix Blood Pill, there was also the Phoenix Spirit Banner.

Now that all his spiritual treasures were destroyed, he was still tempted by these external goods!

"Leave the Phoenix Blood Pill to me!" Qin Qi said bluntly.

"Master, really? Are you serious?" Ji Hongzhuang was instantly overjoyed, gripping Qin Qi’s soft little hand much tighter.

Qin Qi grinned, "Would Master ever lie to you?"

Ji Hongzhuang could no longer restrain herself. Her eyes turned sultry, "Master, tonight, let this slave serve you well!"

As she spoke, she twisted her slender waist and began to stand up.
