Chapter 64: Coming Again to See Seeing Qu Yi

This was the fifth month since Ding Huan left Yiling.

In the backyard of the Qu family villa in Xiuhu Community, Seeing Qu Yi effortlessly leapt over twenty meters, then sent a wind blade slicing through a stone already split in half, cleaving it into four pieces.

Even Ding Huan had not anticipated that Seeing Qu Yi had not only fully recovered physically but also become a Level Three Gene Cultivator within just five months.

And her advancement had not been as agonizing as Ding Huan's, where each leap nearly killed her.

Ding Huan's assigned Gene Spiritual Root was the Wood-type Gene Spiritual Root, indicating that Seeing Qu Yi was even more suited to the Wood-type Gene Spiritual Root than Ding Huan.

Of course, there were two other reasons: one was that when Ding Huan administered the Gene Spiritual Root serum to Seeing Qu Yi, he used a mutated Ba You.

The other was that Seeing Qu Yi's father, Hearing Qu Yonghe, spent a fortune to purchase two Qi Stones for her at an auction.

Hearing Qu Yonghe and Yan Quan both knew that Ding Huan had certainly taught Seeing Qu Yi a Daoist cultivation technique.

Since Seeing Qu Yi's health had fully recovered, she had remained in the backyard to cultivate without interruption.

Think of Ding Huan's three students—whatever he taught Seeing Qu Yi must be extraordinary.

No one in the Qu family asked what Ding Huan had taught Seeing Qu Yi, nor did anyone sneak into the backyard to spy.

It was because of Seeing Qu Yi's cultivation that Hearing Qu Yonghe went to great lengths to acquire two Qi Stones to enhance her strength.

Seeing Qu Yi stared at the stone split open by her Wind Blade Technique and exhaled slowly.

Level Three Gene Cultivator now—and she had mastered Fireball Technique, Wind Blade Technique, and Wind Riding Technique exceptionally well.

With her current strength, if that Boss Quan dared come after her again, she wouldn't even need to approach him to sever his head from his body.

But it wasn't enough—she had to become a Level Four Gene Cultivator before she could go to the Gene Alliance and force them to revoke their warrant for Ding Huan.

Seeing Qu Yi adhered strictly to her cultivation schedule: which hours for cultivating the Network Consciousness Scripture, which for mastering various techniques, all executed with flawless precision.

It was precisely because of her self-discipline and her family's support that she had achieved such remarkable progress in five months.

After finishing her Wind Blade and Wind Riding Technique practice, Seeing Qu Yi was about to return indoors to resume cultivating the Network Consciousness Scripture when she heard a fierce roar from outside.

Seeing Qu Yi recognized it immediately—it was the Gene Alliance.

Without hesitation, she burst out.

If not for the Gene Alliance, Ding Huan wouldn't have lost an eye. If not for the Gene Alliance, Uncle Jiu Yi wouldn't have died.

"What are you doing?" Seeing Qu Yi shouted as she saw a Black man shoving her mother, immediately stepping forward to rebuke him.

"Huh, so you're really alive—and in good health," the Black man exclaimed upon seeing Seeing Qu Yi, then spoke fluent Chinese.

"Yiyi, go back inside. I've already called the police. This is China, not some foreign land—the Gene Alliance can't act so recklessly here."

Hearing Qu Yonghe blocked Seeing Qu Yi; though his words sounded confident, his heart was filled with dread.

He feared she would be taken away again—last time, she had been taken, and even Jiu Yi hadn't returned.

"Reviye, we're just here to check the situation…" A Chinese man accompanying the Black man quickly intervened upon seeing the Black man's rough behavior.

"Tang Qi, you're first and foremost a member of the Gene Alliance. You're on official duty now—call back immediately and tell Hou Hou Hezhong: the target is alive and in excellent health. That means we succeeded."

Reviye not only continued shoving Yan Quan but also snapped at his companion.

"Stop." Seeing Qu Yi stepped forward and shielded her mother behind her.

Reviye chuckled, addressing Seeing Qu Yi: "Come with us. The Gene Alliance suspects you have ties to Ding Huan and now require your presence."

"Leave now, or I will defend myself." Seeing Qu Yi forced her voice to remain calm.

In her mind echoed Ding Huan's words: "Yiyi, remember this: when you have power, never be kind to your enemies. Kindness toward enemies is cruelty toward yourself and your loved ones."

"Hahahaha…" Reviye burst into laughter, reaching for his weapon at his waist.

Seeing Qu Yi raised her hand and slashed through empty air—a blade of wind, invisible to the eye, sliced diagonally down Reviye's shoulder.

"Puff!" Blood exploded. Reviye froze in place. The next instant, a jet of blood spurted—he tumbled to the ground, his head and shoulder severed from his body, collapsing entirely.

Seeing Qu Yi stared, stunned, at the scene before her. She had practiced Wind Blade daily, splitting countless stones—but never had she witnessed such bloodshed.

When she struck, she had treated him like a stone. Now that he lay split in two, she realized how bloody and horrifying it truly was.

At that moment, she could no longer suppress the churning in her stomach. Her face turned deathly pale as she staggered aside and vomited uncontrollably.

Yan Quan, equally stunned, finally came to her senses after a long moment. Fighting back nausea, she went to comfort her daughter.

Hearing Qu Yonghe, however, stared in awe at Reviye's severed corpse—his heart surged not only with excitement but also with gratitude.

He had never imagined his daughter had grown so powerful—she had effortlessly killed a Gene Alliance internal force expert.

Reviye's arrival had told him instantly: this man was an internal force expert, possibly even fused with some kind of trait gene.

And his daughter had killed him from afar.

As for whether killing Reviye would bring trouble? Hearing Qu Yonghe never even considered it.

They had come to seize her—killing them was self-defense.

In the current environment, where Gene Beasts ran rampant and human survival was arduous, the Gene Alliance and Martial Alliance played vital roles.

Under these conditions, the Security Bureau would not openly oppose the Gene Alliance. Even if he called the police, the Security Bureau's response would likely be only to prevent the Gene Alliance from taking Seeing Qu Yi away.

But that was only on the surface. Behind the scenes, if the Gene Alliance forcibly abducted her, the Security Bureau would be powerless to stop them.

Therefore, if Seeing Qu Yi killed a Gene Alliance member who came to take her, there would be no problem.

Just as the Security Bureau wouldn't investigate when the Gene Alliance took Seeing Qu Yi, they wouldn't investigate when Seeing Qu Yi killed a Gene Alliance member.

The reason: her self-defense was legally justified.

"Take the corpse away. Joining the Gene Alliance is fine—but true heroes fight Gene Beasts on the frontlines, protect cities, not terrorize civilians in their homes."

Hearing Qu Yonghe coldly addressed the stunned Chinese Gene Alliance member.

Hearing Qu Yonghe had seen far worse bloodshed—he didn't even blink at this small scene.

"Yes…" The Gene Alliance member finally snapped out of his daze, hastily wrapped Reviye's corpse in cloth, and dragged it into the trunk.

This incident exceeded normal bounds—he couldn't handle it.

"Yiyi, let's go inside. You did nothing wrong," Hearing Qu Yonghe said, closing the courtyard gate and coming to comfort Seeing Qu Yi.

"Dad, I…" Seeing Qu Yi's face was pale, still unable to shake off the horror of what she had just done.

Hearing Qu Yonghe spoke in an intentionally casual tone, "Yiyi, if you don't do this, your mother and I will be disgraced. What's wrong with protecting your family?"

Ding Huan would support you for doing this. Think about what happened at the Gene Alliance headquarters—what's wrong with protecting yourself and your family?"

You know Yan Xia? How many people hunted him back then? Now who dares to disrespect him? This world works this way."

Perhaps Hearing Qu Yonghe's reassurance helped—Qu Yi felt a little better.

Looking at that pool of blood, Qu Yi knew that even if she had to do it again, she would.

In this world overrun by gene beasts, she had no choice in how she survived.

Ding Huan was right—if her strength had been what it is today back then, would Uncle Jiu Yi have died? Would Ding Huan have lost his eyes?"

Being merciful to those people is digging your own grave."

"Father, let's go home," Qu Yi said, catching her breath.

"Yiyi, do you know that Peng Xun, Lujiang, Guiping, Dadu, Qianhe… all these cities have been seized by beast? Countless innocent people have died?"

"Ah…" Qu Yi froze, stunned in place.

She knew most of these places—they were thriving metropolises just months ago. How could they have been seized by beasts in only five months?"

Seeing that he had successfully diverted Qu Yi's emotions, Hearing Qu Yonghe exhaled and said,

"During the months you trained at home, too much has happened outside. Your mother and I were afraid it would affect your cultivation, so we didn't tell you."

"Why has everything become so hard?" Qu Yi murmured to herself.

Yan Quan sighed, "Yiyi, our country is still relatively better. Do you know the Undersea Highway?"

"Soldiers die every day along the Human Corridor Defense Line—we've even sent troops from Huaxia to help."

"Human Corridor Defense Line?" Qu Yi looked at her parents, puzzled. She knew the Undersea Highway—it was formed decades ago by a tectonic shift.

But she had never heard of the Human Corridor Defense Line before.

Hearing Qu Yonghe explained, "A very, very powerful gene beast appeared in the Andes Mountains of South America. This beast isn't just strong—it's highly intelligent."

It united all the gene beasts across South America and launched a beast tide, nearly wiping out the last remaining humans there."

Now they want to cross the Undersea Highway from Africa. If we don't block them, humanity truly faces extinction…"

Qu Yi understood—during the months she trained, the world had become this perilous.

No wonder her parents weren't overly worried when she killed those from the Gene Alliance—human survival had become this difficult.
