Just as Qin Yichen finished speaking, a long sword glinted with a cold light and landed an inch away from the back of Qin Yichen's head. The cold sword aura caused Qin Yichen's brain to freeze.
"Who sent you?"
An indifferent voice sounded from behind Qin Yichen.
"Sent me?"
Qin Yichen was slightly stunned. He could hear the tone of the person behind him. If he had misunderstood his words, the sharp weapon behind him would have pierced his head in an instant.
However, it was fortunate that his life was temporarily back in his hands.
"Elder, I'm afraid that there was a misunderstanding between us. Previously, I had only escaped to this place to avoid being hunted down …"
Qin Yichen spoke slowly. His body was tense. If he felt the slightest movement behind him, he would use all his strength to fight to the death!
"Don't try to resist. Your little trick of killing a high-level Martial King old fellow is indeed shocking. However, if you want to use that kind of trick to deal with me, you're still lacking."
As if he had read Qin Yichen's mind, the voice behind him spoke disdainfully.
"Speak, who sent you here? If there's even half a lie … hmph!"
Qin Yichen shook his head speechlessly. He could naturally tell that this voice was not joking with him. In fact, when he had questioned the person who had sent him here, there was an uncontrollable anger in his voice.
"Elder, I was really followed here. I had no choice but to deal with him. If I have offended you in any way, I hope that you can understand. I will leave now …"
Qin Yichen laughed bitterly. Soon after, he recounted the conflict between him and the young master of the Qian Family at the Big Dipper Enterprise Auction House.
After he had finished speaking, Qin Yichen shrugged his shoulders. He looked as if he could kill or torture him as he pleased.
"The Qian Family?"
After listening to Qin Yichen's explanation, the person behind him muttered softly as if he was thinking about something.
At this moment, even though Qin Yichen had an indifferent expression on his face, his heart was extremely tense. His sweat had unknowingly soaked his clothes.
The person behind him was able to approach him without being detected by his Mental Energy. He was definitely an expert who had surpassed the Martial Emperor Realm!
Fortunately, after the expert behind him muttered to himself for a while, he seemed to have confirmed the authenticity of Qin Yichen's words. In an instant, the pressure that permeated the entire space suddenly disappeared, and the sharp aura behind Qin Yichen's head was also retracted.
Qin Yichen heaved a sigh of relief when he felt the pressure disappear. The feeling of being suppressed to the point of being unable to move was really unpleasant.
"Senior …"
Then, Qin Yichen turned around. Just as he called out, his pupils suddenly shrank. At the same time, he involuntarily called out the person's name, "Xing Yuhuan?!"
About ten feet behind him, there was a figure standing in the air. Qin Yichen had seen this figure before he entered the Imperial City. It was the Wild Lion of the Xing Family, Xing Yuhuan!
However, Xing Yuhuan seemed to be in dire straits at this moment. He no longer had the demeanor of the outstanding talent of the younger generation that he had met at the city gate.
In fact, with Qin Yichen's keen Mental Energy perception, he could sense that the aura on Xing Yuhuan's body was extremely chaotic. It was as if he had experienced a great battle and was heavily injured!
"Let's go. Don't mention this to anyone!"
Xing Yuhuan glanced at him indifferently and said. With his reputation, it wasn't strange for someone to recognize him.
"Your injuries aren't light."
However, Qin Yichen didn't leave. Instead, he smiled and said.
"I just happen to have some healing pills here. They should be of some help to your injuries."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Yichen took out a jade bottle containing the Origin Healing Pills he had prepared for himself from his ring and threw it over.
Xing Yuhuan frowned. How could he be lacking in healing pills?
"Pa!"
However, he had seen the battle between Qin Yichen and the Qian Family's tenth elder. Thinking of the latter's powerful Mental Energy fluctuations, he was obviously a Mortal Level alchemist who had broken through to the Spirit Realm. He still casually caught the jade bottle.
"Take it. My pills are definitely better than the ones you prepared yourself."
Seeing Xing Yuhuan's reluctant appearance, Qin Yichen chuckled and said.
When he said these words, an unquestionable confidence burst out from his body, causing Xing Yuhuan, who had seen countless people, to be somewhat surprised.
Of course, he didn't know where Qin Yichen's confidence came from.
The Pill Saint of his previous life had enough confidence to say such words in the imperial territory!
Xing Yuhuan muttered to himself for a while. Perhaps it was because of Qin Yichen's strong self-confidence, but he couldn't help but open the bottle cork. He was the clearest about the injuries in his body. If it weren't for his powerful True Origin suppressing them, he wouldn't have been able to hold on until now.
Furthermore, the healing pills that he had prepared were also extremely limited in treating injuries. At this moment, he was also trying his best to treat a dead horse as if it were still alive.
Slightly tilting the jade bottle, two round pills rolled out into Xing Yuhuan's palm. A pleasant pill fragrance filled the air, causing one to feel comfortable all over with just a whiff.
"Good pills!"
Smelling this pill fragrance, Xing Yuhuan's eyes flashed with surprise. Just this pill fragrance alone had already far surpassed the healing pills he had prepared!
Then, Xing Yuhuan flipped his palm and swallowed the pills. Suddenly, he felt the two pills melt in his mouth, turning into a warm current that flowed down his meridians.
Under this warm current, wherever it passed, the originally unbearable meridians seemed to let out a comfortable moan.
"These pills …"
Feeling this change, Xing Yuhuan's expression suddenly changed. Then, he cupped his fists towards Qin Yichen, and his figure suddenly shot into the forest below.
Obviously, he was aware of the healing effects of the pills and couldn't wait to recover.
Qin Yichen didn't find Xing Yuhuan's reaction strange. He smiled faintly and followed the former. However, he didn't enter the forest. Instead, he hid in a large tree with dense branches and spread his Mental Energy.
Qin Yichen had his reasons for doing this.
With Xing Yuhuan's strength and the Xing family behind him, there were no forces in the imperial court that dared to provoke him. The Xing family must have something to do with him falling to this point.
At this time, the Xing family was in the process of changing the head of the family. Although Xing Yuhuan's strength was outstanding, he was still an illegitimate child that was looked down upon by the nobles.
An illegitimate child who had strength that surpassed the pure-blooded descendants of the Xing family, and had returned to the Heavenly Dragon Imperial City at this juncture. This would definitely arouse suspicion and dissatisfaction from many people.
Xing Yuhuan was seriously injured and didn't even bring the wild lion with him. His current situation was likely related to the Xing family.
