Boarding Life

Chapter 816 816

Time gradually passed.

The only good news was that his recovery ability was quite decent.

Previously, due to damage to his internal organs, his injuries were extremely severe. Even basic mobility was limited.

But as time went on, his wounds visibly improved.

After half a day, Qin Qi was almost able to move freely.

And after several more hours.

Qin Qi was able to control the True Qi smoothly.

He murmured to himself, "In the current situation, although I can't display the full strength of my peak state, I finally have some ability for self-defense!"

During this almost entire day, his Sea of Consciousness was always open.

During which, he could clearly detect a large number of Evil Demons wandering nearby.

Qin Qi knew that the mysterious woman was right.

He absolutely could not linger around for too long; he had to keep moving. Otherwise, once detected by a group of Evil Demons.

It would spell his end.

With this in mind, Qin Qi checked his injuries once more.

Without any further hesitation, he restrained his aura to the utmost, slipped on the Sha Pill, and stealthily left the cave.

He moved ahead quietly and covertly.

Qin Qi whispered silently, "This Sha Pill can merge my aura with the environment of the Demon Slaying Area. But it still can't ensure absolute safety!"

After all, if the Evil Demons could directly observe his movements, there was still a risk of exposure.

Although the Invisibility Technique was useful, it couldn't be sustained for long.

Qin Qi could only take one step at a time!

Just like that, another day quietly passed.

Along the route given by the mysterious woman, he saw many Evil Demons.

Luckily, with the Sha Pill in effect and his caution, he didn't reveal his whereabouts.

Until Qin Qi came near another mountain peak.

Upon arriving there, the mysterious woman slowly said, "Finally here."

"Where is this?" Qin Qi asked puzzled.

The mysterious woman calmly replied, "The last high peak of the Mingzhi Mountain range, called Tianqi Peak. Crossing the summit will lead you into the Secret Realm."

Hearing this, Qin Qi felt a hint of joy in his heart.

After all, he was now just one step away from the fabled Secret Realm.

Once he crossed this mountain, his situation would shift from life-threatening to absolute safety.

But soon, his expression became increasingly serious.

The mysterious woman smiled, "It seems you've figured it out."

Qin Qi sighed, "On the way here, I've basically confirmed that these Evil Demons not only have high intelligence but are definitely searching for something."

"There's no need to guess; they are searching for me. Given the intelligence of these Evil Demons, Tianqi Peak must be the place where they have the most guards stationed!"

"Although the Secret Realm is now within arm's reach, the last part of the journey is undeniably the toughest!"

The mysterious woman spoke, "Indeed, it's quite commendable that you can remain so rational at this moment. The path ahead is the hardest!"

Everything was just as Qin Qi thought.

As he got closer to Tianqi Peak.

Qin Qi noticed the multitude of Evil Demons guarding the foot of the peak.

The scale of these demons was no less than a hundred, completely surrounding Tianqi Peak.

And what made Qin Qi truly shudder was the presence of an extraordinarily large Demon King among them.

Upon seeing such a scene, Qin Qi felt a chill in his heart.

He didn't even dare to extend his Sea of Consciousness too far, fearing what the Demon King might sense.

The mysterious woman sighed, "It seems the situation is indeed dire. With so many Evil Demons guarding Tianqi Peak, forcing through seems nearly impossible. What do you plan to do?"

Qin Qi's expression was heavy, his mind rapidly analyzing.

"There are only two options: use the Invisibility Technique to sneak in quietly."

"Or, wait. Wait until the Evil Demons lose patience."

"However, the second option is almost impossible. Even if these Evil Demons have no intel on me, they'll definitely guard Tianqi Peak, the entrance to the Secret Realm, heavily."

"It's impossible to wait for Tianqi Peak to be completely safe!"

"So, the only option might be the first one!"

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but worry more about Zuo Qingyue and Wenren Xiaoxian's safety.

On the way, he also sought clues of their whereabouts, but unfortunately, apart from the Evil Demons' presence, he didn't sense any human aura.

The mysterious woman listened to Qin Qi's assessment and responded gravely, "Indeed, that's the only way now."

Qin Qi wasted no further time.

He stared sharply ahead, his heart beating faster.

Though it was clear this was the only way, everyone knew how dangerous it was.

The Invisibility Technique wasn't perfectly safe. If detected, even with the Secret Realm near, the result would only be death.

No matter what he had faced before, this was undoubtedly the most challenging situation he had encountered.

But Qin Qi managed to gradually suppress this fear.

He hid in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity.

Time passed, and two days went by in the blink of an eye.

His injuries had mostly healed, and while not fully recovered, his strength was not far from its peak.

And in these two days, Qin Qi found some opportunities.

"These Evil Demons also change shifts!"

Qin Qi perked up, "It makes sense. Even though it's unclear where they come from, they're ultimately life forms. As life forms, they tire!"

This shift change inadvertently created a gap in the tightly-guarded formation.

Qin Qi realized this was his only chance.

He quickly covered himself with the aura of the Sha Pill and then employed the Invisibility Technique.

"Let's risk it!"

With that thought, he carefully and gradually approached Tianqi Peak.

Qin Qi trusted the efficacy of his Invisibility Technique. Ordinary Evil Demons couldn't uncover his methods.

The only concern was that Demon King level existence!

He bit his teeth hard, not daring to make any unnecessary breaths.

Finally, he reached the gap created by the shift change.

At this moment, Qin Qi was only a few meters away from the Evil Demons. At such close range, he could even see the detailed features of these Evil Demons.

Nonetheless, Qin Qi's gaze didn't shift.

He kept his eyes fixed on the gigantic Demon King.

At this moment, the Demon King was ordering the Evil Demons below, but it was unclear what instructions were given!

And Qin Qi finally slipped through the Demon line and stepped onto Tianqi Peak.

Yet he knew that the real danger was just beginning and far from over!
