"I was chasing the Earth Demon when the Heavenly Defect suddenly appeared, and then I was sucked into it. I thought I was dood, but I ended up in your world instead," Yun ngyao said, sowhat frustrated.
Qin Yi’s expression changed slightly, but neither Yun ngyao nor Liu Chengqing noticed.
"So, you’re saying the creatures from the Primordial don’t know that there’s no danger behind the Heavenly Defect?"
Yun ngyao nodded, "That’s right! If they knew the Heavenly Defect led to your world, they would have sward in."
"Can you return to your world through the Heavenly Pit?"
Yun ngyao pondered for a mont and said, "I probably can. But I can’t go back yet; I need to take Yin Chen and Yin Qingyi back."
"Qin Yi, even though you’re protecting your friends, what you’re doing is really dangerous. They’re demons, their nature is hard to change, and sooner or later they’ll bring disaster to your world."
Qin Yi chuckled softly and said, "Have you ever tried to understand them?"
"Nonsense! They’re creatures from the Primordial, how could I not understand? Demons have always been cruel, bloodthirsty, and belligerent."
Qin Yi snorted, "Maybe it’s your ingrained prejudice? No matter what, I’m determined to protect Yin Chen and Yin Qingyi."
"You’re protecting two top-tier Demon Beasts; you’re aiding the wicked. Do you expect the demons to be grateful to you?"
"Whether they’re grateful or not doesn’t matter to at all. The key point is that they saved my friend, so I’m determined to protect them."
Yun ngyao was surprised, "You said they saved your friend?"
"That’s right; when my friend was at death’s door, it was Yin Chen and Yin Qingyi who saved her."
"Although I haven’t interacted with them for long, I can assure you they are completely different from the bloodthirsty, belligerent demons you described."
"Yun ngyao, put aside your prejudices. You should try to understand them. Whether human or demon, there is both good and bad."
"I’m not pleading with you. I’m just telling you that as long as I’m here, you won’t harm them one bit."
Yun ngyao furrowed her brows, "You’re really stubborn; when they do sothing harmful to humans, it’ll be too late for regrets."
"They won’t!" Qin Yi chuckled lightly, "Even if the sky falls, I’ll help them hold it up."
Yun ngyao looked at Qin Yi skeptically, "Is that Lan Jiaojiao your woman?"
"No, I said she’s a friend! Did you leave your ears at ho?"
Yun ngyao didn’t believe him and said disdainfully, "Would a playboy like you really have a pretty woman as just a friend?"
Qin Yi: "..."
"Yun ngyao, you can question my actions, but don’t insult my character."
Yun ngyao wore a look of contempt, "I think you misunderstand the word ’character’; do you even have it?"
Qin Yi: "..."
"Qin Yi, I can ignore other things, but I must take Yin Chen and them back. It’s my duty."
Qin Yi shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Whatever! My duty is to protect them. You have your duty, I have my determination. So, we’ll just have to see whose skills speak louder."
"You..." Yun ngyao wanted to lose her temper again.
She couldn’t beat Qin Yi at all.
"Enough, let’s not talk about this now. I got the Liu Family to find you because I want to discuss the Heavenly Defect, or rather the Heavenly Pit with you."
Qin Yi said, "What do you an?"
"Heavenly Pits are appearing more frequently. I’m not worried about other creatures from the Primordial because they know fear and don’t dare to act recklessly. What I’m worried about are the Blood Ghost Vines, Blood Monkeys, Earth Demons, and Soul-devouring Demons."
"These creatures are born for slaughter, to put it bluntly, they’re brainless. But with so many Heavenly Pits, I can’t handle them alone, I need your help."
Qin Yi was slightly taken aback; it turned out Yun ngyao sought him out to deal with the increasing number of Heavenly Pits. This is a good thing for humans on Earth.
Besides, the Heavenly Pits appeared because of him, so resolving them is his responsibility.
To be honest, Yun ngyao was helping him. Of course, Qin Yi wouldn’t admit that. Since this silly girl thought it was her responsibility, let her be busy.
"Tell what you need to do."
Yun ngyao said seriously, "I learned that each of your cities has a Guardian. Since you have significant authority, please order them to closely monitor the movents of the Heavenly Pits, and report imdiately once they appear. Ideally, they should swiftly notify ."
"We’ve always been doing that," Qin Yi said.
"That’s not enough! Although each of your cities has Guardians, their cultivation levels are too low, and there are too few Qi Refiners; they simply can’t withstand the Blood Ghost Vines and Blood Monkeys, there are too many of these creatures."
"What’s most terrifying are the Earth Demons; a Four-finger Earth Demon is equivalent to a Qi Refiner in the Foundation Establishnt Stage, and your Guardian Families have too few Qi Refiners at the Foundation Establishnt Stage."
"I know each of your provinces has a slightly stronger family, but the distance is too great; by the ti they arrive, it might be too late."
Qin Yi nodded gently, acknowledging that Yun ngyao made sense.
For example, in Yinfeng City’s Heavenly Pit, if it weren’t for him, the Duan Family wouldn’t have been able to hold out. By the ti the Liu Family sent people, the Duan Family mbers would likely have been wiped out, and the citizens of Yinfeng City feared a massacre.
Not to ntion the Soul-devouring Demons, those ghostly things are not opponents for ordinary Qi Refiners at all.
"What suggestions do you have?" Qin Yi asked.
"I’ve been in your world for a while and have found quite a few Qi Refiners with decent cultivation, but they’re too scattered."
"I think you should form a team where the cultivators have a minimum cultivation of the Foundation Establishnt Stage, and then station them at fixed locations that can quickly reach any city where a Heavenly Pit appears."
Qin Yi gave a wry smile, "That’s easier said than done. Qi Refiners are one in a million, let alone those at the Foundation Establishnt Stage, each family has only a few, and they’re considered treasures."
"To form such a team, you’d need at least three to five hundred people, right? Where am I going to find so many Qi Refiners at the Foundation Establishnt Stage?"
Yun ngyao sighed, "You can try."
"The Earth Demons appearing now are still Three-finger Earth Demons. If a Four-finger Earth Demon appears, even Qi Refiners at the Foundation Establishnt Stage can’t stop them."
Qin Yi rubbed his brow; the plan Yun ngyao proposed was good, but executing it was difficult, mainly because there weren’t enough powerful cultivators.
"How about we draw from the Qi Refiner families, with each one providing a person?" Liu Chengqing suggested.
Qin Yi shook his head, "That won’t work! Qi Refiners at the Foundation Establishnt Stage are treasures of each family. Besides, even if you gather them, they’re hard to manage."
"This is a matter of humanity’s life and death; I think they should understand," Liu Chengqing said.
Qin Yi sneered, "I never assu people are too good! Telling soone of high status to suddenly beco a subordinate or enforcer, do you think they’d be willing?"
