Chapter 130: Confrontation

Soon, Yin Qi arrived outside the valley.

Outside the valley was a small hillside with relatively high terrain.

There was a forest on the hillside, but from the high vantage point, one could also see a long small path.

At the end of the small path, more than a dozen black dots were darting about.

The woofing sounds emitted by those black dots were indeed mastiffs.

Yin Qi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he gradually saw the people coming clearly: two men and two women riding fine horses, followed by a group of guards.

"It's them!"

Yin Qi frowned slightly.

Princess Yongchun, Hong Xuejiao, the heir of Prince Cheng, Yang Tong, and the legitimate eldest son of Duke Li, Jing Yuxing.

These four were top-tier powerful figures in Yujing City and would not put him in their eyes.

If he wanted to stop them, he would probably have to resort to force.

………

Woof, woof, woof...

More than a dozen mastiffs were barking violently, their fur standing on end as if they were very excited.

"Found the Pure Fox nest!"

Yang Tong, the heir of Prince Cheng, smiled happily and said: "Pure Foxes have spirituality and might have some tricks, but this time they still won't escape our grasp; these mastiffs have the ability to see through ghosts and monsters."

Princess Yongchun said excitedly: "Great, I happen to be missing a Pure Fox shawl. Let's go, let's follow quickly."

Jing Yuxing, the heir of Duke Li, looked up, his eyes narrowing slightly, and suddenly his expression changed slightly, and he said loudly: "The situation is a bit wrong, look, there is a person where the mastiffs are pointing!"

"How is this possible!"

Hearing this, everyone looked up one after another.

Because Yin Qi was not hiding, they could see a person standing on the hillside.

"Hurry, someone must have found the Pure Fox nest before us, we can't let him take advantage."

Yang Tong said urgently.

He squeezed the horse's belly with his legs, and the fine horse started to walk quickly.

These horses were not ordinary fine horses, but the world-famous Fire Cloud Horses, over a zhang long, dark red all over, running like a cloud of fire.

Hearing this, everyone followed.

Soon, everyone climbed the hillside and arrived outside the valley.

Looking at the graceful young man standing against the wind, Yang Tong and the others frowned slightly, and the experts beside them also vaguely protected them behind, their gazes sharp.

Because the young man in front of them was clearly not here to hunt, but rather seemed to be waiting for them on purpose.

Yin Qi bowed slightly and said loudly: "Yin Qi has met the Princess, Miss Hong, the Heir, and Young Master Jing."

"Yin Qi?"

Yang Tong raised his eyebrows and asked: "Are you from the Yin Duke Mansion?"

Yin Qi nodded and said: "Exactly."

Hearing this, everyone felt relieved in their hearts.

Since he was from the Yin Duke Mansion, it was unlikely that he was an enemy.

It was just that they were quite familiar with the Yin Duke Mansion, and they had seen several legitimate heirs of the Yin Duke, but there was absolutely no such person as Yin Qi in their memory.

Jing Yuxing bowed and said: "So it is Brother Yin. We entered the mountain to hunt and came here chasing the Pure Fox; I don't know why Brother Yin is here?"

Yin Qi chuckled and said: "What a coincidence, I am also here for the Pure Fox. There is a Pure Fox nest in the valley behind, and I was just about to go in and round them all up, but I didn't expect to meet you all.

Young Master Jing, everyone.

I discovered this place first, so I can only ask you to look elsewhere."

The Pure Fox is a beast; if he said he was here as a guest or even to teach, Yin Tiancheng would be the first to not let him off when he returned.

Associating with beasts—the Yin Duke Mansion could not afford to lose that face.

What's more, even if he said so, they might not believe it.

Since that was the case, it was better to say it was his own prey.

If they questioned him and tried to snatch it by force, he would have a legitimate reason.

Princess Yongchun had a beautiful face and bright eyes; she smiled slightly and said: "Young Master Yin, although it is a bit presumptuous, I still hope that we can join you. Don't worry, we are willing to purchase the hunted Pure Foxes at the market price."

Hong Xuejiao also nodded repeatedly.

She also wanted a Pure Fox shawl, or even a cloak.

Yang Tong and Jing Yuxing nodded, indicating they had no objections.

In their view, since they didn't know him, this Yin Qi must be a concubine-born son.

They had already offered such good conditions, so he surely wouldn't dare to refuse.

Yin Qi shook his head and apologized: "I am really sorry, everyone, I have use for these Pure Fox furs, so I really cannot yield them. It is still early, why don't you look around elsewhere, perhaps you will have new gains."

"Audacious!"

Beside Yang Tong, a burly middle-aged man shouted sharply, pointing at Yin Qi and saying sternly: "You surnamed Yin brat, our Heir and Princess have advised you with kind words, don't be ungrateful. If you are sensible, I advise you to get lost quickly, don't cause trouble for the Yin Duke Mansion."

Yin Qi's eyes turned cold, flashing with a chilling light, and he said indifferently: "Why, you want to snatch it by force?"

Seeing this, Yang Tong, Jing Yuxing, Princess Yongchun, and Hong Xuejiao all had their expressions sink.

If the person in front of them were the legitimate eldest son of the Yin Duke, Yin Xuan, they might still have some scruples.

But you, a mere concubine-born son, what are you?

Ungrateful!

The burly middle-aged man's mind was active; half his attention was on Yin Qi, and half was on Yang Tong and the others.

Seeing Yang Tong and the others with cold expressions and remaining silent, he immediately understood what to do.

He gave a look to the guard holding the mastiffs; the guard understood and immediately released the rope, and after the mastiffs received the signal, they let out a low roar and pounced toward Yin Qi.

The calf-sized mastiffs had a fierce momentum.

If it were an ordinary person, they would probably be scared to the point of wetting themselves.

Yin Qi's eyes focused, his body moved, and the snow on his body was instantly flicked away, forming a cloud of snow mist around him, and then he spread his five fingers wide and slapped toward the pouncing mastiffs.

The mastiffs were fast, but Yin Qi's palm speed was even faster; only afterimages could be seen.

Bang!

Yin Qi slapped down, and the mastiff screamed, flying backward at an even faster speed.

It fell more than ten meters away, struggled for a bit, and then stopped moving.

Hiss!

Yang Tong and the others had their pupils shrink, and they couldn't help but gasp.

This was a mastiff.

Under normal circumstances, it was enough to fight a Bone Refining Martial Master.

But now, it had been slapped to death with a light palm.

An Innate Martial Master of the Viscera Refining realm!

But how is this possible!

Yang Tong and the others were shocked, because looking at Yin Qi's appearance, he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, younger than them.

And Yang Tong, who had the highest cultivation among them, was only at the Bone Refining peak.

Although it was only one step away from Viscera Refining, some people might not be able to break through in their entire lives.

Jing Yuxing was good at socializing; he suddenly laughed heartily, breaking the oppressive atmosphere between the two sides, and bowed: "I didn't expect that there would be such a young talent as Brother Yin in the Yin Duke Mansion. Since this Pure Fox nest was discovered by you, then we gentlemen will not take what others love, let's look for other Pure Foxes."

Princess Yongchun and Hong Xuejiao nodded upon hearing this.

Although they had many people and killing Yin Qi was enough, they couldn't kill someone just for a Pure Fox nest.

The other party was not an ordinary person; a concubine-born son was also the Yin Duke's son.

Since they couldn't kill, they would stop at the right point.

With the martial arts talent Yin Qi had shown, there was hope for him to become a Martial Saint in the future.

For such a person, why would anyone want to offend him?

"No!"

Yang Tong suddenly shouted softly, his expression unkind, and he said coldly: "This Pure Fox nest, he said he discovered it first, so it's his? I also said I discovered it a few days ago! Since it's hunting, of course, whoever hunts it gets it."

After the words fell, the guards he brought drew their swords one after another.

The three mastiffs also whimpered low, their front bodies crouching, looking like they were about to pounce.

The atmosphere.

Instantly became tense. ===== CHAPTER 131 =====
