Xiao Yi heard this and his expression remained calm, as he nodded.
"Let’s go, then." Xiao Yi’s tone was neither joyful nor sad.
But the hint of battle intent on his face clearly showed his intentions.
"You want to stay here? You can’t fool me." Qing Lin didn’t move but stared straight at Xiao Yi.
"Is there a problem?" Xiao Yi asked indifferently.
"Of course there is," Qing Lin said without hesitation, "It’s not that I underestimate you, but with your mere Cultivation, staying here won’t help me."
"You might even hold me back."
"Heh," Xiao Yi sneered, "Also not to underestimate you, but just with you alone, you can’t destroy this Black Poison Villa."
"You..." Qing Lin’s face turned cold.
"Let’s go." Xiao Yi said calmly, "You are someone I brought in, and naturally, I have to take you out."
"Otherwise, if I leave you behind, I won’t be able to explain it to the Vice Dean."
"Also, if something were to happen to you, what about the reward you promised to split with me?"
Saying this, Xiao Yi turned and left.
Behind him, Qing Lin’s face changed several times, shaking his head angrily.
"You... These days, I’ve been regretting agreeing to team up with you."
"I stand by what I said before," Xiao Yi chuckled, "You have no choice now. If you regret it, save it for next time."
Qing Lin shook his head and smiled knowingly, saying nothing more, and followed in Xiao Yi’s footsteps.
Originally, after knowing that the strong ones of Black Poison Villa were guarding outside the Black Poison Pond.
The original plan was to finish Cultivation, break through, and then escape, flee far away.
However, they have changed their minds now.
...
Outside, the strong forces of the Villa were still guarding firmly.
Even after two days had passed, the Black Poison Pond being the Villa’s Forbidden Land and one of the most important places, they could not do otherwise.
Moreover, two days for these strong ones who closed off from the world for years at a time is just a fleeting moment.
"They’ve come out." The Vice Manor Master suddenly opened his eyes that were pretending to rest, with a chilling glance.
"Hmm?" The other elders opened their eyes, revealing a violent brilliance.
"Such detestable little thieves, wasting our time for so long."
"Later, they will suffer devastation, the pain of a thousand poisons gnawing at them."
"Break." At this moment, a crisp voice sounded.
Swish swish...
The sound of the Formation Barrier collapsing could be heard.
Two figures slowly walked out.
It was none other than Xiao Yi and Qing Lin.
"Vice Manor Master of Black Poison Villa." Qing Lin gazed at the elder leading the group ahead.
"And several elders of the Villa."
Qing Lin’s gaze swept over them.
Some renowned strong ones of the Black Cloud Region, he recognized them.
"Tsk tsk, a group of renowned strong ones, guarding our door for a full two days." Qing Lin’s words were full of mockery.
"You brat, what did you say?" The elders were furious.
The Vice Manor Master waved his hand and sneered, "Guarding against two universally condemned villains, it’s nothing special."
"After all, such elusive street rats must be watched; how else would we catch them?"
"However, these rats, when caught, usually meet a very miserable end."
"Is that so?" Qing Lin shrugged, taunting, "I only remember days ago, even your Manor Master couldn’t catch us."
"Now, just relying on you bunch of riffraff?"
Saying this, Qing Lin still looked serious and glanced at Xiao Yi.
"How much confidence do you have?"
"What about you?" Xiao Yi asked back.
"Half and half." Qing Lin answered calmly.
"What about you?"
"Me?" Xiao Yi chuckled, "It depends on the situation."
