Hide in The Immortal Cultivation World, Strike Hard in the Martial World
Chapter 405 - 198: Chen Yi Becomes the Last Straw

Core Formation is a long process, and the outcome is still uncertain.

Ten days later, the aura of Core Formation around the island is getting stronger,

It can be sensed from hundreds of miles around,

Qin Qin had already stood up, casting her gaze around solemnly, ready for any possible dangers.

Just at this moment,

Two figures at the Pseudo-core Level rapidly approach from afar,

In the sky,

One of their laughter could be heard:

"Hahaha, so you are all here for Core Formation. It would have been really hard to find you if not for the overpowering aura of Core Formation."

Chen Yi and others looked and saw that the two were Zhao Jingdan and Shi Yuanzhen, both at the Pseudo-core Level,

While on their side, only Aunt Qin was at the Pseudo-core Level. The situation was not looking good.

Aunt Qin immediately flew out of the island to confront the enemies in the sky,

She tossed an Array Plate to Chen Yi:

"Little Tan, this is the Array Plate of the Spirit Array. Take it, hide with Yang Hui near the Array Method,

Remember, under no circumstances can Yang Hui be hurt, or the enemies disrupt Yang Dan's Core Formation!"

Without waiting for Chen Yi's response, Aunt Qin flew out, preparing to confront the two enemies.

Chen Yi held the Array Plate in his hand, feeling rather perplexed,

He came here initially to sabotage Yang Dan's Core Formation, but due to a strange turn of events, the key to disrupting Yang Dan's Core Formation is now in his hands,

This Spirit Array is a lot less complex than the spiritual veins of the Yang Family,

With the several Breaking Prohibition Talismans and one Earth Dragon Talisman he had in hand, if played right,

It would almost certainly disrupt the Spirit Array, throwing Yang Dan's Core Formation into failure,

If he did this at the crucial moment of her Core Formation, there's a fairly substantial chance it could ruin Yang Dan's Dantian, making further progress in her cultivation impossible in this lifetime,

Even at her most vulnerable state, if Chen Yi rushed in, he would have a good 70% chance of killing her, steal her Core Formation Spirit Object and escape.

Chen Yi hasn't decided whether to do it or not,

Let's just see how things go. Killing is easy, but the complex aftermath could gain the attention of Golden Core Great Cultivators. If his false identity and underlying truth got exposed, it'd be a loss rather than a gain,

Above all, it's not in Chen Yi's nature to kill.

However, he had unexpectedly gained the upper hand in his plan for revenge.

He could wait for the situation to unfold before making a decision.

...

On the lake outside,

After Zhao Jingwu and Shi Yuanzhen rushed over, they were blocked by a woman in a yellow dress,

Zhao Jingwu's expression turned sinister:

"Hahaha, there's only one of you woman left to guard that girl's Core Formation?

Brother Shi, show no mercy. Let's kill this woman with all we've got, kill Yang Dan next. We can split the Yang Family's wealth and power between us!"

A big hammer appeared in Zhao Jingwu's hand, ready to attack,

However, his companion didn't show any signs of action. When he looked at him,

Huh? Brother Shi, what's with that face?

Shi Yuanzhen stared blankly at the incoming woman, an unnatural expression across his face.

He showed no intention to fight,

"Sister Qin, is that really you?"

" Yuan Zhen, I never expected you to betray Young Master one day."

Back in the day, Gui Qin and Shi Yuanzhen were both servants of the Yang Family. They followed Young Master Yang Dingtian from a young age,

She was a maid; he was a house boy,

Back then, Yang Dingtian was a destitute son of a concubine of the Yang Family. Life was tough.

Maid and house boy naturally gravitated towards each other for comfort. They grew fond of each other during their youth, a mutual feeling developing between them,

Although nothing was ever said explicitly, both understood each other's feelings.

Later, Yang Dingtian's talent for cultivation brought rapid progress, which also benefited the two friends. He gave them plenty of cultivation resources and their cultivation levels rapidly increased.

The difference was that Gui Qin grew increasingly charming as she aged, especially after she began cultivating,

Slowly, she was brought into Yang Dingtian's chamber to become his concubine. After reaching the Pseudo-core Level, she took on the role of a wife, managing the household affairs of the Yang Family, but without an official title.

Shi Yuanzhen, who had feelings for Gui Qin, could only watch helplessly as his heart was stolen away by Young Master, harbouring his struggles deep within him all these years.

Eventually, they both became Pseudo-core Great Powers. Gui Qin then became Aunt Qin, taking care of the Yang Family's internal affairs,

Shi Yuan Zhen assumed the identity of being one of Young Master Yang's disciples, spending much of his time away and intentionally avoiding Aunt Qin.

However, he never expected to encounter his former flame when he recently betrayed the Yang Family and planned to steal Yang Dan's Top Quality Crystallisation Pill.

Shi Yuanzhen's face turned from red to green to pale, finally gritting his teeth and said bitterly:

"Why did I betray him? You of all people should understand!

We used to be in love, about to become Cultivation Partners when he forcefully snatched you away,

While you were sleeping with him, while you were screaming his name in his room, did you ever think about me, listening right outside the door?!"

His words doused the energy that Zhao Jingwu was gathering for the attack,

Ah? Is there this sort of story?

Chen Yi and Yang Hui also poked out their heads from the Array Method, watching curiously,

The fight can be put off for now; this drama needs to be watched first.

Aunt Qin, who was quite old now, was flustered by these public accusations and snapped back:
