Chapter 1047

Ji Hongzhuang looked horrified, "Fellow Daoist, you’re not joking with us, are you?"

Qin Qi slowly said, "There’s nothing to joke about here. I do have some matters, but this place is hardly the right setting for such discussions!"

"Earlier, I killed that Elite Demon. With their information sharing, it shouldn’t be long before they track us here!"

Ji Hongzhuang was taken aback by Qin Qi’s words, "Brother Qin is right, we must retreat from this place as soon as possible."

"The death of an Elite Demon is no small matter. Soon, a large number of demons will inevitably arrive here. Let’s swiftly make our way back to Yellow Heaven City!"

After speaking, she retrieved a Spirit Pet vehicle from her Spirit Pet Bag!

This Spirit Pet vehicle was drawn by a black-horned leopard, and could seat about seven or eight people.

Though its speed while galloping wasn’t as fast as their top speed while traveling, it was clearly better suited for long distances.

Unfortunately, the cultivation of this black-horned leopard was a bit too low, or else they wouldn’t have hesitated to use this Spirit Pet during their escape!

And so, they continued on for another half a day.

Once they crossed the desert and finally saw an oasis ahead!

Ji Hongzhuang let out a long sigh of relief, exchanging glances with Qin Qi, "Reaching here means we’ve completely left the Demon Slaying Area. It shouldn’t take long before we arrive at Yellow Heaven City!"

At this moment, Qin Qi sized up Ji Hongzhuang seriously.

He discovered that Ji Hongzhuang was truly of exceptional beauty, indescribable in its charm.

In terms of looks, within the women he knew, she could easily rank among the top in his past life.

The most intriguing part was her peculiar attire.

Barefooted, and her attire resembling that of a minority group, piqued Qin Qi’s interest.

"Fellow Daoist..."

Seeing Qin Qi staring at her so directly, Ji Hongzhuang’s pretty face flushed, she lightly coughed twice to remind him.

Qin Qi’s lips curled slightly.

It was his usual flaw, the urge to conquer beautiful women at first sight.

Yet, if he didn’t conquer these stunning women, wouldn’t that go against his nature?

However, at the moment, Qin Qi stayed focused and curiously inquired, "Miss Ji, why did you venture so deep into the Demon Slaying Area?"

Upon hearing this, a trace of sadness crossed Ji Hongzhuang’s face.

She sighed lightly, "It’s a long story. I ventured into the Demon Slaying Area out of impatience. I didn’t fully consider the repercussions!"

"The cause was my sister suffering severe injuries from a demon on the battlefield. The Poisonous Energy has invaded her body. Although my sister’s formidable cultivation can suppress the Poisonous Energy, it’s not a long-term solution!"

"I don’t want future battles to affect my sister because of this. So, I braved the desert to obtain a Spirit Grass that only grows in the Demon Slaying Area."

Qin Qi asked with doubt, "Are you referring to the Blood Sakura?"

Ji Hongzhuang was momentarily stunned by Qin Qi’s question and then exclaimed in surprise, "I didn’t expect Brother Qin to know about this legendary Spirit Plant?"

Qin Qi smiled wryly, "Miss Ji, did you find the Blood Sakura?"

Back when Qin Qi entered the Demon Slaying Area, the Celestial Joyful Witch had told him many things about the area.

The Blood Sakura was one such thing.

Yet, even after traversing the vast expanse of the Demon Slaying Area back then, he hadn’t seen a single Blood Sakura, let alone Ji Hongzhuang.

Ji Hongzhuang parted her lips, "No, I did not. Brother Qin, do you know the truth about the Blood Sakura?"

"Miss Ji, do you know why it’s regarded as a legendary Spirit Plant?" Qin Qi shrugged, "It’s because there are no Blood Sakura in the Demon Slaying Area!"

Ji Hongzhuang’s eyes widened, "No Blood Sakura? Brother Qin, how can you be so certain?"

Seeing Ji Hongzhuang’s reluctance to give up, Qin Qi calmly said, "Miss Ji, you’ve had some encounters with demons. You should know their intelligence is extraordinary. You know the Blood Sakura can detoxify demon poison, wouldn’t demons know?"

"A Spirit Plant growing in their territory—do you think they would leave it for us humans to harvest?"

Hearing this, Ji Hongzhuang was left dumbfounded.

She simply wanted to save her sister!

She completely overlooked this issue!

Now, with Qin Qi’s explanation, she was rendered speechless!

Ji Hongzhuang’s smile turned bitter, "In that case, isn’t my sister, hit by Poisonous Energy, only left to retreat from the battlefield and recuperate?"

Qin Qi slowly said, "Is there any reason she absolutely has to stay on the battlefield?"

Ji Hongzhuang bit her lip, not explaining directly.

She only said firmly, "If there’s no reason for her to stay, why would my sister fight so hard! She knows better than anyone the difficulty of handling demon poison, yet she pushes through her injuries just for more Battle Merits!"

"But the longer this Poisonous Energy stays untreated, the deeper it will seep. It will soon become uncontrollable!"

Finishing this, her eyes reflected her deep concern.

After pondering for a bit, Qin Qi spoke, "If it’s about the demon poison, I might have a way to cleanse it from your sister!"

"You have a way? Brother Qin, don’t joke around!"

Ji Hongzhuang’s eyes widened, "The terror of demon poison—it requires a retreat, extensive use of Spirit Plants, and slow recovery. Recovery can take as little as half a year, or as long as several years!"

"You’re saying you have a way to help cleanse my sister of demon poison?"

Qin Qi said decisively, "Yes, I do have some methods. It’s just a matter of whether Miss Ji needs me to try or not!"

Ji Hongzhuang hesitated somewhat.

After all, she wasn’t aware of Qin Qi’s background.

Allowing Qin Qi to attempt without reservations was risky.

But recalling Qin Qi’s extensive understanding of demons and his composure, she thought he possessed knowledge beyond his cultivation level.

After much thought, Ji Hongzhuang stood up and gave Qin Qi a deep bow, "Please, Brother Qin, come to our residence to rest. Give me two days to consider this."

"However, rest assured, no matter if Brother Qin can resolve my sister’s demon poison or not, I, Ji Hongzhuang, will not wrong you!"

Qin Qi knew Ji Hongzhuang had her doubts about him.

But this was normal.

After all, it was merely their first meeting!

Regardless, he had successfully entered the forefront of the battlefield...

Next, step by step, he would initiate his revenge plan!
