The corpses of the higher-ups of the Green Lotus Society on the side of the road undoubtedly surprised Qin Yi even more.
"Miss Xia Ji, are these … the higher-ups of the Green Lotus Society?" Qin Yi asked in disbelief.
Xia Ji nodded slightly and squatted down, once again carefully examining the scene.
This was a matter of the Green Lotus Society. Although Qin Yi was surprised, he couldn't say anything before Xia Ji spoke.
He could only dodge to the side and investigate the scene around him.
There were no obvious signs of a struggle. Although there were some messy footprints, it was obvious that they had been running all the way here.
In other words, this wasn't the scene of a massacre. These Green Lotus Society cultivators hadn't been killed here. Instead, they had died on the ground after fleeing here.
He expanded the area of his investigation. Along the way, it didn't seem like the scene of a battle.
Qin Yi sighed softly and gazed in the direction of the capital of Yuluo Nation. Qin Yi guessed that Yuluo Nation must have experienced some great changes.
Xia Ji examined for a while and stood up again.
The two of them communicated silently with their eyes. Qin Yi asked, "What did you find on the wounds?"
Xia Ji shook her head. "No obvious external wounds. They must have been caused by internal injuries."
Xia Ji couldn't possibly strip their corpses and examine their injuries in broad daylight. She stared blankly at the corpses, unable to decide what to do.
After a while, she seemed to have made up her mind and looked in the direction of the capital. "I'm going to the capital to take a look."
Qin Yi thought for a moment and said, "My intuition tells me that something extremely unfavorable must have happened in the capital. If you go back now, maybe … "
"Maybe what?" Xia Ji's pent-up anger flared up. "What are you trying to say? That the Green Lotus Society has already been destroyed? That it's time for the Yanluo Region to fight back? "
Qin Yi touched his nose. "I …"
After thinking for a while, Qin Yi didn't finish his sentence. No matter what kind of woman she was, when she lost her temper, the first thing to do was never to argue, but to shut up.
Although Xia Ji was different from the rest, she was still a woman.
Seeing that Qin Yi had swallowed his words, Xia Ji felt a surge of anger and naturally could not continue to vent it. With her intelligence, she knew that there was no reason for her to lose her temper.
He took a deep breath and tried his best to speak in a calm tone, "I'm sorry, my tone was a bit rash. It's none of your business. In any case, once we leave the Lost Castle, our identities will be different. Perhaps, after entering the capital, we might have to face each other … "
"Do you think that all of this was done by the forces of the Yan Luo Region?" Qin Yi was surprised.
"Apart from the Yan Luo Region, there's only the Forsaken Land of the Gods. Do you think the forces of the Forsaken Land of the Gods can deal with the Green Lotus Church? "Xia Ji clearly did not think so.
Qin Yi said, "Could it be because of Mo Fou and the others..."
Xia Ji shook her head. "Impossible! First of all, the news of their deaths did not spread so quickly. Even if it did, it would not be immediately attributed to the Green Lotus Church. Second, these forces are entrenched in the other countries of the Yan Luo Region. They each have their own missions and restraints. It is impossible for them to put down their responsibilities and come to the Jade Luo Nation to deal with the Green Lotus Church. The Shura Sect would not allow them to do so. The Shura Sect has always tried to form an alliance with the six forces of the Forsaken Land of the Gods, with the Shura Sect as the leader … "
Xia Ji seemed to realize that she had said too much. She closed her cherry lips and tried to squeeze out a trace of indifference on her face, as if she wanted to draw a line between herself and Qin Yi.
"You should leave as soon as possible. I'm not sure if I can restrain myself from attacking you once we enter the capital," Xia Ji said indifferently.
Qin Yi sighed. "Even if I want to return to the Moon Seal Mountain, I will have to pass by the capital. I still have the same words. You and I don't have to be enemies. "
Xia Ji's heart, which had always been pure and untainted, became restless again.
Qin Yi's words always had a special kind of magical power. Her heart, which had never been affected before, was now in turmoil.
This change even made Xia Ji feel a little panicked. She even wanted to escape.
Xia Ji stomped her foot and gritted her teeth. "Do whatever you want. I have to return to the capital anyway. No matter what … "
Qin Yi nodded. "As a former ally, I have to remind you. Even if you have a reason to go back, you should at least change your attire. Don't let others recognize you at first glance. If something really happens in the capital, you'll be walking right into a trap if you go back rashly. "
This was a kind advice.
Xia Ji thought for a moment. In the end, she still felt that Qin Yi's words made sense. However, the Green Lotus Church had never been good at disguises.
For a moment, Xia Ji was at her wits' end.
"Miss Xia Ji, this mask might be useful to you."
Qin Yi casually tossed a mask into Xia Ji's hand. Xia Ji reflexively took it and examined it in her hand.
Qin Yi smiled. "I'll have to trouble you to transform into a man."
Xia Ji instinctively wanted to refuse, but when she saw the sincere smile on Qin Yi's face, she swallowed her words.
… …
After changing her attire, Xia Ji's slender figure transformed into an ordinary person. This mask wasn't a Disguising Talisman, but the one the Palace Lord had given to Qin Yi.
In the Azure Luo Nation, the Yun Family would definitely be familiar with this mask.
But in the Jade Luo Nation, there was no need to worry about being recognized.
Qin Yi also knew that it wouldn't be appropriate to force himself to follow Xia Ji. "Miss Xia Ji, since it's not convenient for us to travel together, why don't you leave first?"
Xia Ji stared deeply into Qin Yi's eyes. After a while, she said, "I will return this favor to you. I'll take my leave. "
Xia Ji didn't refuse Qin Yi's suggestion. She glanced at the corpses of the Green Lotus Church, and her eyes regained their determination. Her figure flashed, and she quickly left.
Qin Yi shook his head as he watched Xia Ji's silhouette disappear.
The sudden change in the Jade Luo Nation made him even more worried about the Moon Seal Mountain. Although the Green Lotus Church was the unlucky one this time, and they were supposed to be one of the Yan Luo Region's sworn enemies, Qin Yi couldn't bring himself to be happy.
He had a nagging feeling that there was a strange atmosphere behind this matter. What exactly was strange? Qin Yi couldn't put his finger on it.
But he had a strong feeling that the situation in the Yan Luo Region had become even more chaotic. This definitely wasn't a counterattack by the seven countries of the Yan Luo Region. There were other unknown forces involved.
