Live-in Son-in-law
Chapter 674: Eastern Region's Natural Moat
Qin Yi rummaged through Mo Tianhao and the others, finding three pieces of the Secret Realm Holy Order.
"You can scram now." Qin Yi waved his hand dismissively.
Mo Tianhao's gaze was dark, his teeth clenched tightly, but he dared not say anything. He quickly left with his three companions.
Hmph... If not for the fact that I still have use for you, you wouldn't even have the chance to glare at me, Mo Tianhao. I'd have killed you long ago.
Qin Yi turned around and looked at the injured Silver Armor Warriors.
The Silver Armor Warriors were covered head to toe in armor, wearing high-tech helmets that even shielded their faces, leaving only their eyes exposed.
The leading Silver Armor Warrior pressed a protrusion on the side of his helmet, and with a click, the visor opened to reveal a rugged, dark face that seemed to be over fifty years old.
Ha, this helmet is high-tech, Qin Yi smiled.
"I am Cang Ziming. Thank you, young hero, for saving our lives."
Qin Yi walked over to Cang Ziming. Even though the Winged Tiger beside Cang Ziming was injured, it let out an agitated growl as Qin Yi approached.
Cang Ziming patted the Winged Tiger's head with effort, calming it down.
Previously, that Mo Tianhao was already terrifying, yet this young man managed to drive him away. Clearly, his cultivation is fearsome indeed.
If this person intended to do something to them, they would have no power to resist.
"Who exactly are you people?"
Qin Yi crouched down in front of Cang Ziming, curiously asking.
Cang Ziming replied, "We are the Guards of the Eastern Barrier, the Winged Tiger Army."
"What is the Eastern Barrier?" Qin Yi asked curiously.
Cang Ziming was also full of confusion: "This is the Eastern Barrier."
"Isn't this the Secret Realm?"
Cang Ziming was momentarily stunned, then replied upon regaining his composure, "Perhaps people from the outside call this the Barrier? In fact, it's the Eastern Extreme, the Eastern Barrier."
"Eastern Extreme? Are you saying this is the end of Earth's East?" Qin Yi asked.
Cang Ziming nodded.
Qin Yi was utterly shocked.
"Judging from your accent, are you from Longxia?"
Cang Ziming replied, "Indeed, we are from Longxia. We have the blood of Longxia in us, and for generations, it's our duty to guard the Barrier."
"Guard against what?"
"The Barrier is Earth's largest and final defense. If the Barrier falls, Earth is in grave danger."
Qin Yi listened, puzzled and confused.
Cang Ziming said earnestly, "It's normal for a young hero born outside to not understand the Barrier. If there's a chance to walk the Barrier, you would understand everything."
"Have you never been to the outside world?" Qin Yi asked.
Cang Ziming shook his head, "The Barrier stands, we are here. If the Barrier falls, we die. We cannot leave this place; it is our duty and mission to protect the Barrier."
"Meaning you've lived here since birth and never left?"
Cang Ziming nodded.
Qin Yi's eyes flickered slightly. Although he didn't know exactly what these people did, his instincts told him they were extraordinary.
"Don't resist, I'll heal your injuries."
"Thank you, young hero, but healing this many people consumes a lot of Qi. We can manage on our own."
Qin Yi smiled, "Rest assured, my medical skills are unparalleled in the world. Healing you all is no problem."
Cang Ziming was momentarily stunned, then smiled, "Then... thank you, young hero."
Qin Yi nodded slightly, stood up, and slowly raised his hand. Purple Energy swept forth, enveloping not only Cang Ziming and his men but also the Winged Tigers.
Cang Ziming and the others stared wide-eyed in shock.
Because as soon as the Purple Energy entered their bodies, it began healing their injuries at an unbelievable speed, incredibly fast.
Within a few minutes, Qin Yi slowly withdrew his hand.
Cang Ziming and the others were dumbfounded. Their wounds were completely healed. Not only them, but even the Winged Tigers stared at Qin Yi with humanoid expressions of surprise.
"Thank you, young hero."
Cang Ziming hastened to express his gratitude, awed by Qin Yi's medical skills.
"Just call me Qin Yi."
"Then I shall do as you suggest." Cang Ziming stood up and stretched, "Qin Yi, you also come from the outside, correct?"
Qin Yi nodded, "This is my first time here."
"You're different from them."
Qin Yi chuckled lightly, "What's different? I came here also with the thought of gathering treasures."
"No matter what your intentions were, you saved us, and in our hearts, you're a good person."
Qin Yi gave a slight smile. Good or bad meant nothing to him.
"Qin Yi, if you can, I'd like to invite you to our village as a guest." Cang Ziming invited warmly.
"Village?" Qin Yi was puzzled. There was a village here?
"Yes, it's where we live."
Qin Yi pondered for a moment. He was very curious about this isolated space, so he nodded, "Then I will not be presumptuous. But can I bring a friend along?"
Cang Ziming was momentarily taken aback.
Qin Yi said, "Bai Jingqing, come along."
With a flash, Bai Jingqing appeared.
Cang Ziming and the others watched Bai Jingqing warily. They could clearly sense that this beautiful woman's cultivation was terrifying.
"Rest assured, if she dares to misbehave, I'll be the first to kill her," Qin Yi said with a smile.
Cang Ziming nodded blankly, murmuring internally about the nature of Qin Yi and Bai Jingqing's relationship. It didn't seem very harmonious.
"Qin Yi, please wait a moment."
Qin Yi nodded slightly.
Cang Ziming led his men to dig a large pit and bury the Winged Tiger corpse that was beheaded by the Mo Family disciples.
The group respectfully bowed in front of the massive grave mound.
"Qin Yi, sorry to keep you waiting, shall we go?"
Cang Ziming spoke to Qin Yi about last night.
Qin Yi nodded slightly, understanding that these Winged Tigers were Cang Ziming's most intimate companions. The man who lost his Winged Tiger had red eyes, deeply grieving.
Everyone leaped onto the backs of the Winged Tigers.
"Qin Yi, young fairy, may I trouble you to ride with me?"
Qin Yi nodded, looking at the Winged Tiger, jokingly saying, "Tiger brother, don't shake me off."
The Winged Tiger let out a low growl, folding its strong forelegs down, gesturing for Qin Yi to mount its back.
Qin Yi laughed, "Tiger mouth, though you are beastly, you understand gratitude and repayment better than some people. I saved her, and she doesn't even give me a kind face."
Bai Jingqing, her beautiful face calm, knew Qin Yi was talking about her.
Qin Yi leaped onto the Winged Tiger's back, looking at Bai Jingqing.
Bai Jingqing showed no intention of getting on the Winged Tiger's back.
"Then stay close," Qin Yi didn't force it, turning to Cang Ziming, "Let's go."
"Old friend, let's go home," Cang Ziming told the Winged Tiger.
All the Winged Tigers roared simultaneously, starting to run at an extremely fast pace, kicking up clouds of yellow dust, as if a rampant earth dragon.
Bai Jingqing, following behind, had her pretty face turned dark, taking to the sky to avoid the raging dust.
The Winged Tigers ran roughly a kilometer and suddenly leaped, dazzling lights flashing on their bodies, wings extending from both sides, and with a flap, they soared into the air like storm clouds, flying with lightning speed in one direction.
