Chapter 1260 1260: Engraving Skill

The woman's wrist was pinched by the chopsticks in Yun Mengyao's hand, unable to move, and she looked at Qin Yi angrily, "If it's not mine, could it be yours?"

Qin Yi looked at Yun Mengyao, "Let her go."

Yun Mengyao snorted coldly, released the chopsticks, and warned: "I advise you to behave because he's not as kind as I am. The number of people he has killed is in the millions, you're just a rookie; you'd die without even knowing how."

The woman's eyes shrank, and she felt an inexplicable chill in her heart.

Millions, what kind of concept is that? Just thinking about it sends chills down one's spine.

"What's your name?" Qin Yi asked.

The woman pursed her lips, her face full of stubbornness, and remained silent.

Qin Yi handed the ancient text to her.

The woman was stunned for a moment, then grabbed it instantly and turned to leave.

Qin Yi said indifferently: "Without my protection, with your level of cultivation, you won't survive leaving Tianming City."

The woman's steps faltered, and after pondering for a long time, she turned to look at Qin Yi, "What price would it cost for you to protect me?"

Qin Yi smiled and said, "That depends on what price you are willing to pay. Of course, everything is negotiable."

The woman returned and looked at Qin Yi, saying, "My name is Ran Zitong."

Qin Yi was about to speak when Ran Zitong added, "This thing is mine."

Qin Yi's lips curved slightly, "But I heard those people say that this thing is a sacred relic of their Tianming Sect."

"They're talking nonsense. Tianming Sect usurped it; this Engraving Skill belongs to my Ran Family."

Qin Yi said calmly, "I'm not interested in that, but I am interested in the Engraving Skill. How about this? I protect you comprehensively, and you teach me the Engraving Skill."

"No, the Engraving Skill is a secret not passed down outside the Ran Family. My father reminded me on his deathbed to retrieve the Engraving Skill and not let it spread outside."

Qin Yi chuckled nonchalantly, "Suit yourself. But what I want to say is, this is just a Divine Skill. If you die, this skill will be completely lost."

"No matter what you say, I won't pass it on to you," Ran Zitong said stubbornly.

Qin Yi shrugged, "As you wish. You can take this ancient text and go find your father below."

Ran Zitong snorted coldly, "I will definitely survive well."

After saying this, she turned and left.

After Ran Zitong left, Yun Mengyao looked at Qin Yi and asked, "Is this Engraving Skill really powerful?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Because a Divine Skill that even you are interested in must not be ordinary."

Qin Yi smiled and said, "I've never been in touch with this Engraving Skill before. It's different from Martial Arts or Array, it takes another path I've never seen. However, just now, during the battle, Ran Zitong used this Engraving Skill. Facing seven or eight opponents of the same level alone and holding out for so long, it's enough to prove the power of this Engraving Skill."

As Qin Yi spoke, Purple Light flowed in his palm, condensing into a series of dazzling Star and Moon Symbols.

Yun Mengyao exclaimed, "You're really a monster, you learned it just by looking at it."

As Yun Mengyao finished speaking, the Star and Moon Symbols in Qin Yi's palm shattered and disappeared.

Qin Yi shook his head, "I was merely imitating superficially without knowing how to use it. Moreover, the symbols I gathered have no attacking power, just a facade."

Yun Mengyao put down her chopsticks, "Alright, I'll go catch that rookie and interrogate her. She's so inexperienced, she won't be able to keep the Engraving Skill. It's better to benefit us than others."

Qin Yi rolled his eyes, "How come I never noticed you have the makings of a bandit?"

Yun Mengyao pouted, "I'm suspicious that Ran Zitong is just a thief, and that the Engraving Skill belongs to Tianming Sect, which she stole."

Qin Yi couldn't help but laugh, "Forget it, let's eat! We still have a long way to go, don't cause trouble."

Just as Qin Yi picked up his chopsticks to eat, Ran Zitong returned, coming to Qin Yi's table and stared at him intently, "I'll teach you the Engraving Skill if you help me get revenge."

Qin Yi laughed, "This Engraving Skill is novel to me, but whether I learn it or not doesn't matter. If it's that powerful, why have I never heard of it? As for your revenge, I guess it's related to Tianming Sect, and Tianming Sect is related to the Sword Sect. This deal isn't profitable for me."

Ran Zitong's eyes revealed disdain, "I thought you were a connoisseur, but you have such a narrow vision. I tell you, although Cultivation Techniques and Martial Arts are mainstream because they're easy to learn, the power of the Engraving Skill is something you can't comprehend. But it's just that very few can master it, so not many know it.

At the same level, someone who has cultivated the Engraving Skill can fight against ten Qi Refiners at once; fighting beyond their level is not even a problem."

Qin Yi was slightly surprised; he didn't expect the Engraving Skill to be so powerful. However, he believed Ran Zitong because her abilities had already been demonstrated during the battle just now.

Qin Yi looked at her and said, "Tell me, how do you want me to help you get revenge?"

"Kill Ba Nian and clear the Ran Family's name."

Qin Yi frowned, "Is Ba Nian a person?"

Because the name was so strange, Qin Yi asked.

Ran Zitong's eyes were filled with hatred, and she said fiercely, "Ba Nian is the current sect leader of the Tianming Sect."

Qin Yi laughed, "You mean you want me to destroy Tianming Sect."

"No, just killing Ba Nian will suffice."

"Is there a difference between killing Ba Nian and destroying Tianming Sect?"

"Of course there is because Tianming Sect originally belonged to my Ran Family. Ba Nian is just a demon who usurped the nest."

Qin Yi asked, "What do you mean by clearing your Ran Family's name?"

Ran Zitong's eyes were filled with deep hatred, and she said harshly, "Ba Nian was my father's most prized disciple. But he harbored wicked ambitions, falsely accused my father of colluding with the Netherworld Hall, killed my entire family, and took the opportunity to seize Tianming Sect."

"Oh my, there's someone so disgusting?! Qin Yi, you have to take this job. I can't stand such treacherous scum."

Qin Yi gave her a sideways glance, what kind of brain does this woman have? Is the focus of this issue on Ba Nian?

He looked at Ran Zitong and smiled, "Sorry! I can't take this job."

Ran Zitong was taken aback, then sneered contemptuously, "Didn't this fairy just say you have killed millions? I didn't expect you to be such a coward. I misjudged you."

"What are you talking about? Go to the Moon Desolate Domain and ask around. Who doesn't know he fought his way to the Imperial City single-handedly, slaughtering millions of soldiers, dying the ground in blood for thousands of miles. You think the name Blood Shura was given for nothing…"

"Stop it." Qin Yi interrupted Yun Mengyao's words with a deep voice. He didn't want anyone investigating his matters in the Moon Desolate Domain, as it could bring considerable trouble to the area. Qin Yi looked at Ran Zitong, "Sorry, provocation doesn't work on me; you can leave."

Ran Zitong gritted her teeth, saying in a low voice, "I know you remembered the things on the ancient text, but I can tell you that without the mental method, you can't cultivate it at all. The Ran Family now only has me, and only I understand the mental method of the Engraving Skill."

After speaking, she turned and left immediately.
