He had achieved his goal.
Killing the sixth clan elder was the first step, and that sentence was the second step of his plan.
He deliberately left that sentence for the people in the sixth clan elder's mansion to hear. Because today, the sixth clan elder led people to search the area around the Rain-savoring Tower.
Of course, they knew the sixth clan elder's intention, which was to deliberately undermine the plan, to alert the enemy, and to interfere with the third clan elder's search and capture.
To put it bluntly, this was internal strife.
Originally, the Yun family's monitoring and attention of that area was carried out secretly. Now that the Sixth Clan Elder had made such a big fuss, it had undoubtedly become public. It was tantamount to reminding the Jiang Clan.
Therefore, it was not an exaggeration to say that he undermined the plan.
And Qin Yi took advantage of this contradiction to fish in troubled waters.
He killed the sixth clan elder to create a false impression that it was the third clan elder who did it. In this way, the Yun family's internal strife would inevitably be magnified.
Even if the Yun family's internal strife would not be completely intensified, it would definitely make the situation more complicated, and cracks would appear in the Yun family.
As long as there was internal strife in the Yun family, it would more or less help to Jiang Xinyue's action.
After killing the sixth clan elder, Qin Yi directly returned to the stronghold that Qin Han left for him without stopping.
Because he had made an appointment with Jiang Xinyue to meet at that stronghold at night.
The words he whispered in Jiang Xinyue's ear before were to tell Jiang Xinyue the address and ask her to meet there tonight.
Otherwise, Jiang Xinyue would not have left so easily.
After returning to the stronghold, Jiang Xinyue had arrived ahead of time. However, without Qin Yi's skill, Jiang Xinyue could not enter, and could only wander around outside.
Fortunately, this area was relatively safe, and Jiang Xinyue had disguised herself, so she did not have to worry about being exposed at night.
Originally, Jiang Xinyue had been waiting anxiously. After all, it was Qin Yi who asked her to meet here tonight. She arrived, but Qin Yi did not appear.
She almost suspected that she had heard the wrong address and found the wrong place.
Just as Jiang Xinyue was feeling helpless, Qin Yi finally appeared.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
Qin Yi fully unleashed his Divine Sense to check the surroundings. After making sure there were no spies or sentries nearby, he led Jiang Xinyue into his base.
After entering the base, Jiang Xinyue heaved a sigh of relief. "I thought I was in the wrong place. It's already so late at night, and you're only back now? "
"I just went to do something." Qin Yi smiled easily.
"What?" Jiang Xinyue's eyes flickered. Her intuition told her that what Qin Yi was doing was not ordinary. It was not a trivial matter.
"It was the Sixth Clan Elder of the Yun family who searched the Tingyu Tower in the daytime." Qin Yi did not directly answer Jiang Xinyue's question.
"The Sixth Clan Elder?" Jiang Xinyue was a little surprised. "The Sixth Clan Elder of the Yun family doesn't seem to have a high position in the Yun family. He is the half-brother of the First Clan Elder. Why would he bring people to search the capital? And in such a high-profile way? Isn't he always at odds with the Third Clan Elder Yun Chen? And the one in charge of searching the capital has always been the Third Clan Elder Yun Chen of the Yun family. Why would he help the Third Clan Elder Yun Chen out of kindness? "
Jiang Xinyue was obviously very puzzled about this.
"It's precisely because of the discord between them that the old man appeared in such a high-profile way. In fact, he wanted to ruin the Third Clan Elder Yun Chen's reputation."
After Qin Yi explained a little, Jiang Xinyue immediately understood.
"Before the Yun family dealt with the Jiang family, they were very united. It seems that now they think they have the overall situation in their hands, and begin to fight for fame and profit. This is actually good news for the Jiang family. I hope that they bite each other even more fiercely! "
"Yes, I want them to bite each other even more fiercely. So I went to add fuel to the fire, "Qin Yi said with a smile.
"Oh? What did you do? "Jiang Xinyue's curiosity was completely aroused.
"I paid a visit to the Sixth Clan Elder, and then conveniently …" Qin Yi casually made a throat-slitting gesture.
"What? You went to assassinate him? "Jiang Xinyue was shocked, her face full of concern." You … you shouldn't have taken such a risk. Although the Sixth Clan Elder's strength is very average among the Yun family's nine elders, he is still one of the Yun family's higher-ups. You went to assassinate him, not … "
"Don't worry, he's already dead." Qin Yi smiled slightly.
"Dead?" Jiang Xinyue's delicate body swayed, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief. She looked at Qin Yi, as if she thought she had heard wrong.
"Dead. This old man deserved to die. When I went there, he was doing that with a few women. This gave me an opportunity. "
Qin Yi did not want to exaggerate his contribution, so he purposely downplayed the matter.
However, this did not affect Jiang Xinyue's heart at all.
No matter how easily Qin Yi described it, as someone with experience, she was all too clear about the strength of the Yun family's higher-ups. Even if the Sixth Clan Elder of the Yun family was the weakest among the nine elders, he was at least at level five or six of the Dao foundation realm. With this kind of strength, if an elder from the Yin-Yang Academy were to take action, there would be a high chance of success.
However, no matter what, Qin Yi was a new student who had entered the academy for less than a year. His entire body was made of iron, how many nails could he hit?
How did he kill the Sixth Clan Elder?
If Jiang Xinyue had not had so many life-or-death experiences with Qin Yi and seen many extraordinary things about Qin Yi, she would definitely think that Qin Yi was bragging.
However, at this moment, as she looked at Qin Yi's calm expression and nonchalant tone, Jiang Xinyue's intuition told her that Qin Yi was probably telling the truth.
But how did Qin Yi do it?
No matter how preposterous the sixth clan elder was, no matter how unscrupulous he was, with his cultivation at the fifth or sixth level of the Dao foundation realm, would an ordinary person be able to sneak an attack on him?
If one wanted to launch a sneak attack on him, they would need to be at least as strong as him, or even stronger than him. Only then would they be able to guarantee a fatal strike.
Otherwise, how could Qin Yi have escaped so easily after assassinating the other party?
Looking at Qin Yi's expression and listening to his relaxed tone, the assassination must have been very easy.
"Qin Yi, you … you really killed that old man?" Jiang Xinyue stammered. Obviously, she still hadn't recovered from the shock of what had happened in such a short time.
"Absolutely. I reckon you will receive the news soon. However, this is only the first step. Killing an insignificant elder is not enough to stir up trouble in the Yun family. If possible, stir up internal strife in the Yun family. You will only have a chance of winning if you go to the Ancestral Temple on Bailu Mountain. "
