"Could it be that we've been discovered long ago?" Yun ngyao asked in shock.
Qin Yi shook his head, "No."
"Damn it, you're lying to again," Yun ngyao said angrily.
Qin Yi smiled but said nothing.
Yun Susu and Jin Die also breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that Qin Yi was just lying again.
Soon, the food and drinks were served.
Qin Yi called out, "Hurry up and eat, let's fill our stomachs first."
As they were almost done eating, the ground suddenly began to tremble slightly, followed by a commotion outside.
"Shopkeeper, sothing's wrong! Our shop is surrounded," a young man ca running in, stumbling in panic, shouting.
The shopkeeper, who was calculating accounts, angrily scolded, "What nonsense are you spouting? Do you not want to work anymore?"
"Qin Yi, I know you're inside. My people have already surrounded this place. You cannot escape. Co out."
Just after the shopkeeper spoke, a thundering shout was heard from outside, like rolling thunder.
"Boom boom...!"
The plates, bowls, and porcelain in the shop shattered from the violent sound waves, tables and chairs collapsed, and the entire shop shook violently.
The faces of Yun ngyao and the two other won turned pale. The sheer terror of that shout alone showed the opponent's strength.
Only Qin Yi remained indifferent.
"Your crow's mouth turned out to be right," Yun ngyao complained, looking at Qin Yi.
Qin Yi curled his lips slightly. It wasn't that he had a crow's mouth, but that all of this had been within his expectations.
"We hid so well, how did they find us?" Yun ngyao wondered.
Qin Yi said indifferently, "Does it still matter now?"
With that, he glanced at Yun Susu and Jin Die, stood up, and said, "Let's go. Hiding is useless at this point. Now that we're full, let's go et this Fire King."
The four of them walked outside to find themselves surrounded by a crowd. The entire shop was surrounded by the Fire Phoenix's people.
The Fire King clearly ca prepared this ti, with a thousand soldiers surrounding the shop, and strong figures blocking the sky.
Directly across from Qin Yi stood a tall, burly man in gold armor, with fiery red hair and beard, coldly staring at Qin Yi. Beneath him was a giant Blast Bear more than three ters long.
This was a Thunder Bear, its voice like thunder, fierce and violent, its fur like steel needles, its mouth full of interlocking fangs dripping with saliva, its eyes blood-red. Adult Thunder Bears are imnsely strong, able to kill a Great Perfection Nascent Soul Realm cultivator with one swipe.
"Fire King?" Qin Yi asked.
"Indeed, it is I," the Fire King said, his voice like rumbling thunder, causing pain in one's eardrums.
Qin Yi touched his own face, "The Fire King isn't surprised at all by my current appearance. Did your illustrations draw ugly again?"
The Fire King said gruffly, "No matter how you disguise yourself, you can't escape my grasp."
Qin Yi chuckled, his face muscles slowly shifting, bones cracking, instantly reverting to his true appearance, and he laughed, "Isn't my original look more handso?"
"Fine skin and tender flesh, not a bit of manliness. I despise pretty boys like you the most," the Fire King retorted.
Qin Yi: "..."
"I get it, you're just jealous. Appearance is given by parents; you can't envy us handso ones just because you're ugly. Bla your parents."
The Fire King roared in anger, "How dare you speak to like that; you're the first. This pretty boy does have so courage."
Qin Yi said with a smile, "You haven't truly experienced my bravery yet. Fire King, I offer you two choices: first, have your n stand aside, let us leave, and we'll go our separate ways. Second, I fight my way out, leaving corpses and rivers of blood."
The Fire King's eyes flashed fiercely as he sneered, "Arrogant to the extre. Do you really think you can fight your way out?"
"In fact, getting out isn't hard. If you don't believe , you can try. Honestly, your n can't stop ."
The Fire King roared, "Qin Yi, arrogance will be your downfall. You killed the Wind King, I admit your cultivation is remarkable. But overly arrogant people et bad ends. I've co because I'm confident in capturing you."
Qin Yi raised a finger, waving it, "You're not enough. If Qin wants to leave, no one in this world can stop . I'd advise you to go back to where you ca from, and tell that old emperor of your Tianyue Empire that I've endured you to the limit. If you continue to persist, I will personally co and take his head."
"Insolent!" The Fire King was enraged, "To insult the Emperor is to court death!"
Before his words had faded, the Fire King raised his hand and struck toward Qin Yi with a palm, terrifying Red Flas sweeping out from the palm.
Qin Yi waved his hand, sweeping, taking Yun ngyao and the other three and moving horizontally out of the way.
"Boom!"
The restaurant where Qin Yi had just dined was directly destroyed by a single strike from the Fire King, terrifying fire waves swept through, the shop collapsed, and inside ca the heartrending cries.
Qin Yi's face changed dramatically, looking at the Fire King, coldly said, "There were citizens of your Tianyue empire in there, people from your Fire King City, and you don't care for their lives."
"There are countless citizens of my Tianyue empire; just a few peasants, if they die, they die. Qin Yi, you've insulted the Emperor, and as long as I can kill you, the entire Fire King City could die for all I care," said the Fire King, nonchalant.
Qin Yi's eyes were cold; these people didn't see ordinary people as human.
"Qin Yi, to actually sympathize with these peasants, you don't deserve to be called a strong person."
Qin Yi's eyes were indifferent, speaking harshly, "Must one lose their humanity, treating all lives as insignificant to be considered a strong person?"
"They are just ants, born to serve us, their lives should also be dictated by us," the Fire King said proudly. "Qi Refiners pursue higher cultivation, isn't it to be above these ants? To them, we are Gods, to die for us is an honor."
"Absurd, you're no God, everyone is born of a mother and father, what right do you have to decide others' life and death? If you wield power beyond ordinary people, you should protect the weak, not bully them. How is what you do any different from beastly savagery? If having high cultivation ans disregarding others' lives, are you still human? No different from beasts," Yun ngyao said, unable to restrain her anger.
The Fire King looked at her, "An ant, daring to disrespect , courting death."
"I think it's you courting death. Beasts like you shouldn't live in this world," Yun ngyao shouted.
"Insolent, I sentence you to death," the Fire King roared, sealing his hands, striking with a palm from the air.
"Boom!"
The air above Yun ngyao twisted and roiled, suddenly transforming into a sea of fire, the sea of fire sweeping, instantly forming a massive Fiery Fire Palm Seal, crashing down.
The massive Fiery Fire Palm Seal had not yet landed, but the surrounding temperature soared, nearby buildings ignited, and the ground began to crack.
