Chapter 519: Chapter 519: Headless Dragon Group

Cong Yang and the others still couldn’t believe that Qin Yi had died just like that. Such a prodigy, how could he die so easily?

But did the Vermilion Bird Guardian God have any reason to deceive them?

Cong Yang suddenly looked at Murong Qianxun with red eyes, "Did you all kill Qin Yi?"

"Nonsense, it was his own greed. He fell into the Magma Lake while fighting us for a treasure, what does that have to do with us?" Murong Qianxun frowned.

Although Qin Yi had died, her Phoenix Gall had also been destroyed, and her loss wasn’t small. So, she didn’t speak kindly.

The Vermilion Bird said solemnly, "Qin Yi’s death does have something to do with us. But ultimately, it was his own greed... Forget it, the deceased is already gone, there’s no point in saying this now."

"Qianxun, you go to Phoenix Mountain."

Murong Qianxun nodded and soared into the sky.

"You all should go back as well," the Vermilion Bird said, looking at Cong Yang and the others.

As soon as the words fell, with a wave of the hand, Red Flames rolled forth, melting the ground as magma flowed, sealing the entrance completely.

Yang Hu’s eyes turned red, "Senior Vireo, what are you doing?"

What if Qin Yi were still alive? Sealing the entrance would completely cut off Qin Yi’s chance of survival.

"I know what you’re thinking, but I saw with my own eyes that Qin Yi’s bones were gone, and there’s no way he survived. Qin Yi’s fall leaves me deeply ashamed for not being able to save him. But it’s too dangerous down there, and this entrance must be sealed."

"You are all well-known young heroes. I know it’s Qin Yi who united you all together. Now that Qin Yi is dead, you should choose a new leader to fulfill Qin Yi’s last wish."

The Vermilion Bird sighed softly, bitterly smiling inside. The words were easy to say, but which of the younger generation has Qin Yi’s ability to make these proud prodigies bow down?

Even the successors of the four Guardian Gods, like Bai Siyin, Qianxun, and Xuan Zhan, probably can’t command these arrogant prodigies, right?

With Qin Yi’s death, many arrangements and patterns have to change. These gathered prodigies are a very terrifying force, and they are still very young. Once they mature, they will shake all nations. But now, without a leader, who has the ability to command them?

The Vermilion Bird shook her head and took flight, disappearing instantly into the horizon. She had to inform the Azure Dragon about Qin Yi’s fall. He had high hopes for Qin Yi, believing he was the one to save the world. Who knows how the Azure Dragon will react to the news of Qin Yi’s death?

Cong Yang and the others were both angry and bewildered.

They admired Qin Yi and were determined to follow him to fight across lands, shining in the river of history, becoming legendary for eternity.

But now, with Qin Yi’s sudden fall, they were at a loss on what to do next.

"Do you really believe Qin Yi’s death had nothing to do with the Vermilion Bird Guardian God?" Yue Lan said in a deep voice.

"What are you suspicious of?" Among the five, Feng Yang looked at him.

Yue Lan said, "I suspect it was the Vermilion Bird Guardian God who accidentally killed Qin Yi."

Cong Yang and the others fell silent; they had thought of this long ago, just hadn’t said it out loud.

"Now that Qin Yi is dead, what should we do?"

Cong Yang stood up and said sullenly, "Go home."

Feng Yang hurriedly said, "Brother Cong, don’t be in a rush to go home. I think what the Vermilion Bird Guardian God said makes sense. Qin Yi worked so hard to gather us all together, and now, to just disperse like this is a shame. We should elect a new leader to continue Qin Yi’s plans."

Cong Yang laughed coldly a few times, "Elect a new leader? Name one, let me hear! Xiahou Jun? Xuan Zhan? Or Murong Qianxun?"

"I think we should choose the strongest, Xiahou Jun," Feng Yang pondered and then spoke.

Yue Lan sneered, "Is Xiahou Jun the strongest? The strongest is likely Murong Qianxun. As far as I know, Xiahou Jun is just at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core, while Murong Qianxun is in the Nascent Soul Realm."

"Perhaps Qin Yi’s death was no accident, but someone paving the way for their disciple."

The few people’s expressions changed slightly, knowing Yue Lan was referring to the Vermilion Bird Guardian God.

With Qin Yi dead, the strongest is Murong Qianxun; if a new leader is to be chosen, it would undoubtedly be her. Murong Qianxun is the biggest beneficiary.

Feng Yang hesitated for a moment and said, "The Vermilion Bird Guardian God has been guarding Longxia for decades, and Qin Yi gathered us to protect all beings, which is not contradictory. I think the Vermilion Bird Guardian God wouldn’t kill Qin Yi for the sake of her disciple. Are we overthinking this?"

"Humph, the human heart is unpredictable; even gods have their own little thoughts." Yue Lan sneered.

Cong Yang waved his hand, "You do whatever you want. Whoever you want to recommend as the new leader is none of my business. In this life, I only follow Qin Yi, and no one else matters to me."

After speaking, Cong Yang strode away with a grim face.

"Brother Cong, where are you going?"

Without looking back, Cong Yang said, "Going home. Without Qin Yi, being legendary for eternity, whoever wants to do it can. I’ll just go home and live a carefree life as the young master of Stone City, Cong Yang."

"Wait for me, Cong Shao. I heard the barbecue and Da Wusu of Stone City are superb. I’ve always wanted to try them." Yue Lan said, chasing after him.

Cong Yang burst out laughing, "Let’s go, as much as you want!"

The remaining three looked at each other.

"Brother Feng, what do you plan to do?"

Feng Yang was silent for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Qin Yi was domineering and unscrupulous, it was satisfying to work with him. If it’s someone else, they’d be too cautious. Doing things with such a person would be stifling. I think it’s better to follow Cong Shao to his home, drink some wine, and eat some meat for more delight."

"I think it’s feasible. It’s said Da Wusu is also called the ’Life-taking Da Wusu’. I want to see what’s so life-taking about it too."

"Then why say more? Let’s go bother Cong Shao together."

The three of them immediately used their skills to chase after.

...

...

"Where is this place?"

Qin Yi looked down at his body, full of doubt. He had swallowed the Phoenix Gall, and his whole body was refined, but now he was perfectly fine.

Where is the Phoenix Gall?

Qin Yi searched for a long time and found that the Phoenix Gall was gone too.

Also, what was this ghostly place?

Qin Yi was utterly bewildered, finding himself sitting by a great river, surrounded by complete darkness, with black mist rolling. The great river before him was hundreds of meters wide, its water surging and rolling violently, but without making a single sound, truly eerie.

Where did this great river come from? Where does it go? There was no way of knowing.

Because he could only see a few hundred meters far, beyond that, celestial mist enveloped everything, and even the Eye of Righteous and Evil could not see through it.

Qin Yi wanted to stand up, but he was shocked to find that it seemed like he was growing together with the ground, with only his upper body able to move.

This...

Qin Yi began to panic, desperately trying to perform Energy Movement to break free, but what was more terrifying was that his insides were completely empty, devoid even of a sliver of cultivation.

Without cultivation, in this bizarre place, and with his lower body unable to move, Qin Yi began to feel frightened.
