Chapter 555: Chapter 555 Overwhelming Qi Leaking Out

Unfathomable? Qin Yi savored this word carefully. The fact that even the Azure Dragon would say so shows just how immense the forces behind these people are, and how deep the waters of these hidden families run.

Azure Dragon walked over to the stone table and sat down, looking at Qin Yi: "We know all about what these three have been doing recently. However, I’d still advise you, it’s best to at least treat these people as neutral. If they can’t be your friends, at least try not to make them your enemies."

Qin Yi was shocked. He actually saw fear in the eyes of Azure Dragon. Could these hidden families really be so powerful that they could make someone like Azure Dragon, one of Longxia’s strongest, fear them?

Xuanwu and White Tiger also sat down, Xuanwu said solemnly: "Qin Yi, I agree with old Dragon. Even if you cannot make them friends, try not to make them your enemies."

Qin Yi was even more surprised. Even Xuanwu and White Tiger were saying this.

"Why? Are the forces behind them that terrifying?"

Azure Dragon sighed: "It’s more than terrifying, it’s unfathomable."

Qin Yi’s eyes narrowed slightly; this was already the second time he’d heard this from Azure Dragon, highlighting just how troublesome these hidden families were.

"You are among the strongest in Longxia, being fearful of them doesn’t make sense, right?"

Azure Dragon let out a deep sigh, smiling bitterly: "We are only the strongest in the open."

Qin Yi’s gaze shrank: "Is there really someone with a cultivation above yours in this world?"

"The martial arts of Longxia are steeped in a rich history, producing countless talents. Just like the ranking lists for the younger generation only account for well-known young talents, there are many unrecorded ones, like Mo Buwen and others."

Xuanwu sighed: "Out in the open, we are Longxia’s strongest, but in the shadows, there are many who can surpass us, and those like that are not few."

Qin Yi was shocked—not few?

"Qin Yi, I know your nature. But please heed my advice, do not turn them into enemies. The waters behind them run too deep, deeper than even we can fathom. If you’re not careful, you might bring death upon yourself."

Qin Yi’s eyes sank slightly: "But they are acting in my name; should I also pretend not to know?"

"Why not announce that you’re alive? Once the truth is out, they’ll naturally hold back," Xuanwu advised.

Qin Yi sneered: "What do you mean? I hid the fact that I’m alive just to see what they intend to do in secret. Now you want me to announce I’m alive, was my concealment all for fun before?"

"Qin Yi, why not take a step back before things become irreversible? After all, you won’t lose anything," sighed the Azure Dragon.

"Nonsense! They came to my house, and you want me to step back? How can you, as Guardian Gods of Longxia, not feel ashamed saying such things?" Qin Yi retorted, unrestrained in his words.

Azure Dragon’s face stiffened: "Qin Yi, we’re thinking about your safety. You haven’t fully matured yet, it’s unwise to make enemies of those hidden families."

Qin Yi looked at Azure Dragon and suddenly burst out laughing.

The others were baffled by Qin Yi’s laughter.

"Old Azure Dragon, it was you who said I am the Savior destined to rescue the world. If I fear this and hesitate about that, wouldn’t it be better to just stay home and live a quiet life with my wife? Why roam the world, repeatedly facing danger?"

Azure Dragon said solemnly: "You don’t realize the terror of those hidden families; they have ancient legacies and deep roots. Who knows how many peerless masters their family contains, or how many sect forces they secretly control? Even these Guardian Families might have their people."

Qin Yi’s eyes were filled with sarcasm; he had guessed this, sneering: "I bet when the experts from various nations attacked decades ago, none of these so-called hidden families showed up, right?"

Azure Dragon smiled bitterly: "If they had appeared, the scenario would likely have been rewritten. We four wouldn’t have been the ones enshrined by the gods."

Qin Yi was full of disdain: "When the experts from various nations attacked, it was a matter of right and wrong. They chose to avoid fighting; who dares say they’re not cowardly? The greater one’s ability, the greater the responsibility. They have immense power, originating from Longxia, and yet when Longxia was in danger, they chose to hide. I... look down on them."

"Those hidden families cherish their reputations, avoiding public exposure because they understand that tall trees catch more wind, so they choose to develop quietly, making fortunes silently," Xuanwu stated.

"Cherish their reputations?" Qin Yi laughed, filled with disdain: "To cherish their feathers, they first need to be an eagle. If they’re just feather dusters, who cares? To me, even if they’re Phoenix God Birds, if they don’t protect the world, then they’re no better than wild chickens in the weeds."

Qin Yi suddenly stood up, proudly declaring: "You fear them; I, Qin Yi, am not afraid. Whoever blocks my mission to save the world shall face my wrath. I have said before, even the heavens can’t kill me, let alone these conniving rats. No matter how powerful they are, hiding in the shadows, they will fear the light."

"I, Qin Yi, have endured great hardships to reach where I am today. If I feared everything, I might as well go back to being crippled, spending my life in a wheelchair."

Qin Yi raised his head, placing his hands behind him, and declared domineeringly to the heavens: "Those who plot against me, kill. Those who block my way, kill. Those who become my enemies, kill. If need be, I will pile up the heads and let rivers of blood flow, just to restore peace and clarity to this world."

Qin Yi was not speaking recklessly; the calamity had arisen because of him, with chaos initiated by his actions. Others could watch coldly, but he couldn’t. It was his responsibility, his mission.

Azure Dragon and the others were astonished as they watched Qin Yi, with his repeated declarations of killing filling the air around him with an aura of murderous intent, striking fear into the hearts of others.

"Qin Yi, I’m with you," Xuan Zhan suddenly spoke, having been moved by Qin Yi’s overwhelming dominance.

Qin Yi was slightly taken aback. He only spoke from the heart and didn’t expect it to impress Xuan Zhan to the point of wanting to follow him. Could this be what those novels refer to as the male protagonist’s extraordinary charisma, no, overwhelming dominance, that makes countless people bow down in worship?

"Xuan Zhan, don’t cause trouble," Xuanwu frowned and scolded.

Xuan Zhan looked serious: "Master, I’ve followed you since I was young. I remember you teaching me that the greatest of knights serves the country and its people. You also told me that protecting all living things is our duty. I feel Qin Yi is right; we shouldn’t retreat just because those hidden families are intimidating."

"Brother Xuan Zhan is right; Qi Refiners should not lose the heart of a warrior. My master told me that Qi Refiners defy the heavens and seize the fortunes of the universe. We dare to defy the heavens, why would we shy away from confronting those hidden families?" Bai Siyin said with a serious expression.

White Tiger and Xuan Zhan were left speechless; indeed, those were principles they had instilled in Bai Siyin and Xuan Zhan. To deny them now would be to slap themselves in the face, wouldn’t it?
