Qin Yi left overnight, heading straight for the Fang Family.
When he arrived at the Fang Family, it was just the next morning. It was inconvenient to act during the day, so Qin Yi waited in the dense forest outside the Fang Family until nightfall, then disguised himself, transforming into the appearance of a Fang Family disciple and sneaked in quietly.
He had been to the Fang Family before and had a clear understanding of the terrain.
This time, he wasn't here to kill but to uncover the Fang Family's plans—how did they intend to deal with him? He also wanted to delve into the background of that Demon Tamer.
Qin Yi had no plan; he could only act according to circumstances.
He was now in the guise of a Fang Family disciple, but walking alone in the Fang Family was likely to arouse suspicion.
Qin Yi found an empty room and went in to take the fruit platter off the table.
Then he swaggered around the Fang Family with a plate of fruit; if anyone asked, he'd say he was delivering fruit to an Elder.
Along the way, he encountered many patrolling Fang Family disciples, but no one became suspicious.
Who would dare yo think someone would have the audacity to infiltrate the Fang Family and walk around so boldly?
Qin Yi headed straight towards the courtyard of Fang Haohong, the Fang Family head.
Fang Haohong's courtyard was large and heavily guarded. Qin Yi had no choice but to leap onto the roof, letting his Divine Thought spread without detecting Fang Haohong's presence, indicating he was away.
How could the average disciple possibly detect Qin Yi?
He easily entered Fang Haohong's room.
The room's furnishings were extremely refined.
Qin Yi went to the desk and flipped through the books and letters on it, hoping to find some clues. But these seemed to be ordinary books and letters, yielding nothing.
He refused to give up, searching through the room multiple times, but found nothing.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Qin Yi let out a light exclamation as his hand brushed over a vase on the table and found that the vase didn't budge, as if glued to the surface.
There's a mechanism.
Could there be a secret room?
Qin Yi tried turning the vase, but it stood firm regardless of his attempt to twist, push, lift, or pull.
"Strange?"
Qin Yi murmured, wondering why a vase would be firmly attached to the table without a mechanism—it was bizarre.
He squinted and examined the vase closely; something unusual was certainly happening here.
His eyes swept over the vase's mouth, and he couldn't help but brighten with a smile and curse, "Truly a crafty fox."
The mechanism was indeed present, but not in the vase, rather in the vase's mouth, which could be turned.
Qin Yi reached out and gently rotated the vase's mouth.
"Boom!"
The ground trembled slightly, and as Qin Yi turned his head, he saw the wall behind Fang Haohong's desk spin open, revealing a hidden door.
Qin Yi's eyes lit up with delight, wondering if he had accidentally stumbled upon the Fang Family's treasure vault.
Instinctively, his hand released, reverting the vase's mouth to its original state, causing the hidden door to close.
Without thinking further, Qin Yi dashed inside in a flash.
"Damn…"
Behind the hidden door was a narrow space, seemingly a corridor, yet brightly lit like daylight.
Qin Yi's eyes sparkled, delighted to see the passage illuminated by fist-sized Luminous Pearls embedded in the walls.
It seemed he had really stumbled upon the Fang Family's treasure vault.
Qin Yi resisted the urge to pry off the Luminous Pearls from the walls, intending to take them on his way out instead.
Looking down, Qin Yi was startled to see the ground paved with White Jade Plates. How much jade would it take to carve so many White Jade Plates? Just these plates alone would fetch a pretty penny outside.
Indeed, Lady Luck was flaunting herself to him again—it truly was his lucky day.
Qin Yi proceeded down the corridor.
The corridor wasn't long, no more than ten meters. The space inside was slightly lower than the outside, and Qin Yi descended several meters along the White Jade Plate stairway before encountering a steel door, gleaming brightly.
What is this…
Qin Yi was bemused.
The outside was paved with White Jade Plates, yet inside lay a modern steel door—a baffling arrangement.
Qin Yi approached and gave it a push with his Divine Hand; the door was heavy, weighing several tons at least. Furthermore, the edges were sealed to prevent air ingress.
His palm pressed against the door, unleashing force.
With a snap, the hidden lock was swiftly obliterated.
Qin Yi frowned; if this was the Fang Family's treasure vault, the design was surprisingly simplistic. The lock destroyed with a single shock, entering way too effortlessly.
Could it be that this wasn't the Fang Family's treasure vault?
The Su Family's treasure vault is fortified with iron stone and features dual-layer protection, while the Fang Family's vault's defenses seem remarkably weak.
There's only one way to find out—enter and see for yourself.
Qin Yi pushed the door; since the lock was already ruined, it opened easily. And surprisingly, the door had been specially treated to open silently.
What's inside?
Qin Yi walked in with anticipation—the inside was brightly lit, like daytime, illuminated by the glow of Luminous Pearls. The gentle white light felt comforting, yet in an instant, Qin Yi's blood ran cold, his entire body turning icy as he stood there frozen.
This wasn't the Fang Family's treasure vault. The sight before him caused Qin Yi's body to instinctively emit a lethal aura.
The space was about two hundred square meters, similarly tiled with White Jade Plates. However, the walls were lined with glass display cases, each containing a corpse. Every corpse was a naked female, numbering seventy or eighty in total.
Who knew how long these women had been dead? They were clearly treated by special means to prevent decay, appearing lifelike. Moreover, they were arranged in various degrading positions.
The corpses' eyes were open, though dead. Yet Qin Yi could still perceive fear, anger, and resentment in their gazes.
Amongst them, Qin Yi recognized a familiar corpse—it was a girl named Xiaolian.
"Beast." Qin Yi's eyes were icy cold, trembling with rage.
These girls were all young, mostly blossoming teenagers. From the texture of their skin, a few seemed to be Qi Refiners, while most were ordinary girls.
Qin Yi could practically imagine the despair these girls felt before dying.
"Fang Haohong, you beast, if I don't tear you limb from limb, I swear I'll end my life to apologize to the world." Qin Yi had never been this disgusted with someone before, wishing he could grind him into ashes.
Fang Haohong, this old pervert—this secret room directly connects to his quarters. It was evidently his private museum.
The setup here clearly showed Fang Haohong invested a lot of thought into it. One could deduce that this old pervert must frequently come here to admire his handiwork.
How can there be such a perverted person in this world? It's absolutely revolting.
Fury sowed itself in Qin Yi's heart, becoming nearly uncontrollable. He had exerted himself to protect the living beings, battling demons, extinguishing Hidden Families—all for restoring peace to Earth. Yet he hadn't expected this—these innocent girls probably hadn't imagined that they'd ultimately be harmed by their own kind.
