"Within the past couple of days."
Qin Yi walked over to the sofa opposite Yun Mengyao and sat down, speaking lightly.
Yun Mengyao paused for a moment, "Are you sure it's the Golden Winged Roc tribe?"
"They slaughtered a village as soon as they appeared."
Yun Mengyao's expression changed slightly. Qin Yi's words were clear enough; these people had killed, so how could their identity not be certain?
Yun Mengyao sighed, "The Golden Winged Roc tribe has always looked down on humans. They consider humans weak, selfish, greedy, worse than ants, only fit to become food."
"They're not wrong at all."
Yun Mengyao looked at Qin Yi in surprise.
Qin Yi's lips curved slightly, "Humans are indeed weak, selfish, and greedy. But that's not a reason for them to take human lives, and it goes against my goal. I want to protect humans, yet they see those I protect as mere ants. What do you think I should do?"
Yun Mengyao said nothing. Knowing Qin Yi's personality, of course, it's to kill; there's nothing more to say.
"It seems you've already decided to kill them."
Qin Yi nodded slightly.
"Then why are you coming to me?"
Qin Yi smiled, "We are friends, and the Golden Winged Roc tribe has close ties with you. Both emotionally and logically, I should let you know.
Additionally, there's another matter. Altogether, three people from the Golden Winged Roc tribe appeared, and these three have now disappeared. I thought if possible, you might know more about them than I do, and could help me find them."
Yun Mengyao looked at Qin Yi, her expression filled with strangeness.
"On one side are my fiancé's people, on the other side is you. Qin Yi, if I were you, I wouldn't make such a request. Why do you think I would help you against my fiancé's people?"
Qin Yi awkwardly touched his nose. He knew it wasn't quite appropriate, but the Golden Winged Roc tribe was ruthless and might harm innocents. He needed to find the three quickly, hence shamelessly seeking Yun Mengyao's help.
Who knew this woman wouldn't leave him any face at all.
"Fine, forget I said anything."
Yun Mengyao lazily lay back on the sofa, "Turn on the TV for me, then get lost."
Qin Yi: "..."
"If I find these three people, do you want to meet them?"
"No."
"Why not?"
"No reason. Be it Primordial or Earth, it's all survival of the fittest. They intruded on Earth, wantonly killing innocents—it's understandable you want to kill them. However, they are my fiancé's people. If the time comes and I plead for mercy, would you grant it or not?"
Qin Yi nodded slightly. She had indeed considered this matter more thoroughly than he did.
"Alright, quickly turn on the TV for me. Delay my watching the finale and it won't end well for you. Truly spoiling a person's good mood."
Qin Yi smiled wryly, touched his nose, helped Yun Mengyao turn on the TV, and then left.
...
In the following days, Bai Siyin's intelligence network fully deployed but still hadn't found any trace of the three from the Golden Winged Roc tribe.
Strange, where could these three be hiding?
That evening, after dinner, Qin Yi was chatting with Xia Yanbing when he suddenly received a call from Dong Zhiping.
After hanging up, Qin Yi told Xia Yanbing he needed to go out, and then left.
Soon after, Qin Yi arrived at Nightse Nightclub, an establishment of the Dong Family.
As Qin Yi reached the entrance, Dong Zhiping was already waiting there.
"What exactly happened?" Qin Yi asked.
Dong Zhiping had mentioned on the phone that three men came to the nightclub and immediately ordered more than ten hostesses to accompany them drinking.
The hostesses here only accompany in drinking and singing, nothing beyond.
But these three weren't behaving, wanting to indulge in pleasures inside the private room. After being refused, enraged, they actually crushed a hostess to death.
It ultimately alarmed the manager, who wanted to have security to control these three. Yet, more than ten security guards were instantly killed by one of them.
The manager then ed the matter to Dong Zhiping.
Dong Zhiping knew these three were likely Qi Refiners. Ordinary people couldn't handle them, so he sought Qin Yi for resolution.
"I've sent away everyone else, but there are still four or five hostesses in that private room."
Qin Yi nodded slightly, "You stay here, I'll go take a look."
"Be careful," Dong Zhiping advised, then found his own words laughable. Qin Yi was a God, was there anything a God couldn't handle?
Qin Yi smiled, asked for specifics of the floor and room number, then went in.
Soon Qin Yi reached the ninth floor, and exiting the elevator, he was immediately hit by the stench of blood.
Over a dozen corpses lay scattered in the corridor. These people wore security guard uniforms, probably the security guards Dong Zhiping mentioned were killed.
Qin Yi stepped forward, glanced at them. Their deaths were gruesome, all with their throats slit, blood gushing furiously, pooling on the white floor like a snake of blood slithering around.
Qin Yi bent slightly, looked at the wound on a dead guard's neck. It didn't seem like a sharp weapon's cut, more like claw marks.
Qin Yi's expression turned colder as he reached the private room door, pushing it open to walk inside.
The room was large and luxurious, but two more bodies lay on the floor—a man and a woman. The man was also a security guard, the woman very young, with delicate makeup, yet her eyes remained open, at death's door.
On the sofa sat three tall men, each with their arms wrapped around two scantily clad women, hands roaming over them.
The women wore expressions of terror, shivering violently, wanting to cry but too afraid.
Seeing Qin Yi enter, all eyes turned to him.
But Qin Yi only narrowed his eyes slightly. The aura from these three was somewhat familiar, and indeed very disdainful to him.
The aura from the three, it was akin to Jin Wudi of the Golden Winged Roc tribe whom he'd killed before.
Qin Yi was a bit surprised. He'd been looking everywhere for these three, never expecting they'd show up in Yinfeng City. Truly, searching high and low only to find them effortlessly.
"Who let you in? Do you want to die?"
The middle man shouted coldly, looking at Qin Yi with disdain, as if viewing an ant.
Qin Yi's eyes flickered slightly. These three had formidable cultivation—the middle man was at the Late Stage of Divine Separation, with the other two at the Middle Stage.
This level of cultivation, not to mention ordinary people, few elders of Hidden Families could parallel.
Qin Yi's lips pressed together tightly, those who knew him would recognize this unconscious action as a sign that trouble was coming for someone.
He glanced at the table, smiling, "Our boss sent me to see if you need more drinks, as yours are running low."
The man on the right laughed disdainfully, "Typical soft-boned humans, but the boss here is sensible. Go on, bring us more wine. This world may be filled with waste and trash, but the food and wine are quite good."
The hostesses initially thought Qin Yi came to rescue them, but hearing his words, their eyes dimmed.
Qin Yi looked at them, using Divine Thought to assure them to pretend and comply for now, ensuring their safety.
Qin Yi's voice abruptly echoed in their minds, almost causing them to scream. But the murderous demons sitting nearby invoked fear, keeping them silent.
"Please wait a moment, I'll go get the drinks." Qin Yi smiled, turned, and left.
