Boarding Life

Chapter 818 818

After saying this, the Demon King didn't hesitate at all.

The thick claw lunged fiercely at Qin Qi.

In an instant, Qin Qi felt an immense force sweeping over him.

He tried to use Celestial Spirit True Qi to condense into a protective armor for defense, but under this immense force, he couldn't exert any power at all.

As the immense force swept through his entire body, Qin Qi felt as if he was going to be completely crushed.

He clenched his teeth, "Could it be, this is where I'll die!"

Even if his heart was unwilling, at this point, he had no solution. He could only watch as the Demon King tore through his last defense.

And thus, take his life away.

Seeing his consciousness gradually fading away.

At the critical moment.

Suddenly, the black evil qi that had enveloped the entire area.

Was suddenly pierced open by some unknown means.

The Demon King's sinister eyes turned sharply, and then he saw a tremendous mana, condensing into several qi blades, each dozens of yards long, whistling towards him.

One of them precisely aimed at the Demon King's arm!

This forced the Demon King to release Qin Qi, tossing him aside, then coldly asked, "Who!"

Qin Qi, whose consciousness was weak, was equally shocked.

In a daze, he saw several figures slowly emerge from the white mist at the entrance of the Secret Realm.

Then, his consciousness completely faded.

Upon seeing a few people, the terrifying aura of the Demon King skyrocketed to the extreme.

"Yuan Tianqing!"

The man known as Yuan Tianqing looked like a man in his forties.

He gestured to the people beside him, "Bring that young man over!"

The people beside him quickly acted, and it wasn't long before they snatched Qin Qi from the Demon King's feet.

The Demon King did not attack, seemingly wary of this man named Yuan Tianqing.

After snatching Qin Qi away, Yuan Tianqing wasted no time and said, "Let's go back!"

"Master, we're going back already? We barely got permission to come to the Demon Slaying Area, and we didn't even have a chance to properly fight these Evil Demons." A short girl, resembling a little girl, said somewhat discontentedly.

Yuan Tianqing replied irritably, "Do you think this is just child's play? If we don't leave now, it might soon be too late to leave at all!"

After saying this, Yuan Tianqing waved his big hand, taking a few people back into the white mist of the Secret Realm.

The Demon King was clearly unwilling, roaring angrily, "Yuan Tianqing, don't think you can leave!"

Its claws erupted with a vast amount of black evil qi.

However, Yuan Tianqing didn't even glance at it, merely bringing his two fingers together and flicking them lightly. Several qi blades swirled forward, dispersing the black aura completely.

...

And so, it was unclear how much time passed.

Qin Qi only felt a splitting headache.

Finally, he felt a voice calling out to him beside his ear.

"Qin Qi!"

"Qin Qi!"

Qin Qi gradually opened his eyes, discovering it was the voice of a mysterious woman.

Qin Qi took a deep breath, looked around, and found himself lying in a delicate wooden house.

This building didn't resemble modern craftsmanship, more like a refined ancient style from seven or eight hundred years ago.

Even the bed and decorations in the room were of an ancient style.

This left Qin Qi puzzled, "Where am I?"

"You're in the Secret Realm now." The mysterious woman said slowly.

Qin Qi couldn't help but laugh, "Why were you in such a hurry to wake me up? Since I'm already in the Secret Realm, why not let me rest for a bit, I'm exhausted!"

The mysterious woman calmly said, "If you rest any longer, I fear I might be exposed. After all, whether or not I can remain fully concealed depends entirely on your cultivation aura shielding me. Without your cover, I'd be discovered in no time!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Qi immediately snapped to attention.

"Oh no, why didn't you say so earlier!"

After all, the ones who hunted the mysterious woman to such a pitiful state back then were these powerful people from the Secret Realm.

And the mysterious woman had always originated from the Secret Realm.

He dared not think of resting any longer, looking around to check out his new environment.

At that moment, two voices came from outside.

"Senior Sister, there's no need for you to interfere!"

"Nonsense, I've never seen anyone from outside the Secret Realm. What's the harm in taking a look!"

"Fine, fine, just don't blame me for not doing my duty when you have to explain to the Master later."

As they spoke, the two entered the room.

Upon seeing that Qin Qi was already awake, both were surprised.

"You woke up so soon?"

The two were a man and a woman.

The man appeared to be in his early twenties, while the girl seemed only thirteen or fourteen, short in stature, with a face like a porcelain doll.

Both of them were dressed in ancient attire from several centuries ago, exquisitely made with fine silks.

Qin Qi was equally puzzled, "You are...?"

The young man suddenly remembered, immediately introduced himself, "Ah, forgot to introduce myself. My name is Zhang Ming."

"I'm Luo Yanhong!" The little girl also smiled brightly, her big eyes curiously scanning Qin Qi.

Qin Qi asked, somewhat confused, "Where am I now?"

Zhang Ming smiled, "White Tiger City, this is one of the barriers guarding the entrance to the Secret Realm. It's overseen by the City Lord Yuan Tianqing, who is also our Master."

"Speaking of which, he's the one who saved you. I must say, sir, you're quite brave, being chased by a Demon King-level Evil Demon."

"If it wasn't for Master intervening, the two of us would have had no chance of saving you."

At this time, Qin Qi also realized the cultivation levels of the two.

Zhang Ming was similar to him, at the first stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage.

And the little girl Luo Yanhong's cultivation was higher; even he couldn't gauge her exact level.

Luo Yanhong was evidently full of curiosity about Qin Qi, "Logically, with so much evil qi in your body, it should take at least a month to recover properly."

"Yet in just two days, you're already so lively. What sort of constitution do you have!"

Qin Qi looked at Luo Yanhong in amazement, "Little girl... you!"

It must be said, Luo Yanhong was indeed a type he had never seen before.

Luo Yanhong glared, "Who's the little girl, who are you calling little girl?"

Zhang Ming laughed and said, "Sir, don't be fooled by Senior Sister's youthful appearance; in fact, she's a few years older than me. And she's already married."

This left Qin Qi even more surprised.

The age and appearance were such a vast difference.

Zhang Ming smiled, "Sir, since it's your first visit to the Secret Realm, don't judge someone's age by their looks. Many look young, but their actual age, who knows how long they've lived."

Qin Qi realized, then got to the point, "Since you already know my origins, you should know that my arduous journey into the Secret Realm is for an extremely important matter."

Zhang Ming naturally understood and replied, "Rest assured, sir. Master has been expecting you for some time and instructed us to bring you to him as soon as you woke up!"

"Now that you're awake, there's no time to lose!"
