Chapter 121 - 118 Qu Yi Injured and Captured (Extra chapter for Alliance Hierarch Mo Yu 8)

Qu Yi opened the cloth bag and pulled out a Blossom God Crystal Stone, only to become stupefied. She had cultivated with Energy Stones before, so she naturally knew what energy was. The energy of the Blossom God Crystal Stone was perhaps many times more abundant than that of the Energy Stone, and moreover, she felt that the Blossom God Crystal Stone was even more suitable for cultivation. "This is..." Qu Yi couldn't believe her eyes as she looked at Zhong Chi. She had become a Level 5 gene cultivator because she had priority access to Energy Stones for cultivation at the Security Department. Without Energy Stones, she might still be stuck at the third level of gene cultivation. Zhong Chi laughed heartily, "This is a Blossom God Crystal Stone, better than an Energy Stone. Brother Ding Huan asked me to bring it to you, so go ahead and use it with ease." "Senior, I would like to see Brother Ding. Where is he?" Qu Yi thought, if Brother Ding was alright, why hadn't he come to see her? But then she realized that she and Brother Ding didn't really have that deep a relationship. Why should he come to see her? She had always been indebted to Brother Ding, from the time he had risked his life to save her, even giving her his own eyes. Just thinking about it, she couldn't help but feel her eyes redden again. She thought that Brother Ding's eyes must have been damaged, and he didn't want her to feel guilty. As soon as she imagined Ding Huan missing an eye and the inconvenience it caused him, Qu Yi couldn't control her emotions anymore. Tears streamed uncontrollably down her face. She was willing to take care of Brother Ding for the rest of her life. Zhong Chi quickly said, "Oh, Miss Qu Yi, don't cry so easily. What am I going to tell Brother Ding when I see him?" "Senior Zhong, I must see Brother Ding..." said Qu Yi, raising her head to look at Zhong Chi with determination. Her face was still full of tears. Zhong Chi felt a headache coming on. He shouldn't have taken this job; he should have let Ding Huan deliver it himself. "Um..." Zhong Chi also didn't know where Ding Huan had gone. That's right, it seemed like it was the Kunlun Mountain Range. When Ding Huan had asked him to send a message to Lao Liu, that's what he had said. "Miss Qu, there are two ways you could see Ding Huan," Zhong Chi pondered before speaking. "What are they?" Qu Yi looked at Zhong Chi with eager anticipation, the clarity in her eyes making Zhong Chi himself exclaim that he had never seen anyone with eyes as clear and pure as Qu Yi's. In prosperous times, such a girl should have been cherished and protected in the palm of one's hand. It was a pity that she lived in turbulent times, this young girl had to bear the burden of the Security Department, fighting Fierce Beasts daily. How could this be? It was really too much of the Security Department to place such a burden on a young girl. No, he had to talk to Lao Zhu about this. In Zhong Chi's view, being the head of the Security Department wasn't something to be proud of, but rather a tough and thankless job. If he had wanted to be the head of the Security Department, he would have been long ago. "The first method is to go to the Kunlun Mountain Range. I've heard that Brother Ding might have gone to the Kunlun Mountain Range, though I'm not quite sure. However, I suggest you don't do that because the Kunlun Mountain Range is so vast that not just you, even if I went, I would be lost. Finding someone, even more so, is out of the question." Zhong Chi finished speaking and sighed. Indeed, if Ding Huan really had gone to the Kunlun Mountain Range, then one could forget about finding him. "And the second method?" Qu Yi asked urgently. Zhong Chi nodded, Qu Yi's question showed she was rational, knowing that it was impossible to find someone in the Kunlun Mountain Range. "The second method is to wait here. I suspect that Brother Ding will make a trip to this place, because there's a Demon Dragon here, and Brother Ding will definitely want to kill that Demon Dragon before he leaves..." Zhong Chi said. In Zhong Chi's view, Ding Huan had a clear sense of gratitude and grudge. He had been tricked by the Demon Dragon, and now with his increased strength, he would definitely come to kill the Demon Dragon. Also, he suspected Ding Huan might leave Earth. Judging from Ding Huan's method of eradicating the extraterrestrial powerhouse, he was convinced that before Ding Huan left the Earth, he would come to the human corridor defense line to wipe out the Demon Dragon. He would leave? What did that mean? Qu Yi was taken aback. Then she said, "Senior, you said Brother Ding will leave, but where would he go?" Zhong Chi hesitated before speaking, "I'm not entirely certain, but I suspect Brother Ding might want to leave Earth." Zhong Chi's guess was not without reason; first, Ding Huan had collected a large number of Blossom God Crystal Stones and Energy Capsules. Second, there was Qi Xinyue, who was not from Earth. Thinking of Qi Xinyue, Zhong Chi looked again at Qu Yi. Qi Xinyue was very beautiful, although her beauty was marred. If she hadn't been disfigured, Miss Qu Yi here wouldn't have stood a chance competing with Qi Xinyue. Now, though, he hoped that Ding Huan and Qu Yi would end up together. The Miss Qi Xinyue, despite being nice, was after all not from Earth. "Leave Earth?" Qu Yi murmured to herself, suddenly feeling that she knew nothing about Brother Ding, who had saved her life. "This must be the Blossom God Crystal Stone brought by the extraterrestrial civilization, right?" A sudden voice rang out not far away. Zhong Chi saw Shi Changyi, Gu Zhong, and Nong Yizhen, among others, approaching. The meeting had ended, and Zhong Chi came out first; they came out later, which resulted in this encounter. Shi Changyi looked at the bag in Qu Yi's hand and the Crystal Stone she was holding, and he let out a chuckle. Qu Yi snapped back to reality and quickly tossed the Crystal Stone back into the cloth bag and fastened it shut. "So what if it is?" Zhong Chi said dismissively. Shi Changyi became serious, "Lao Zhong, our personal grievances are one thing. Regardless of how you view me or suspect me, I don't mind. But the Blossom God Crystal Stone is a global strategic resource, and you shouldn't keep it for yourself. Instead, you should hand it over to the Federation so that it can be distributed to those who have made contributions." "Haha..." Zhong Chi laughed loudly. After his laughter, he pointed at Shi Changyi and said, "Shi Changyi, what do you think you are? Are my spoils of war not mine to keep? Furthermore, let me tell you, the Blossom God Crystal Stone is not mine, but was given to Qu Yi by that senior. He has some connection with the Qu Family, and he specially sent some to Qu Yi. What now? Are you going to snatch it?" Shi Changyi coldly responded, "Zhong Chi, no matter how eloquent you are, you can't claim Earth's property as your own." Zhong Chi couldn't help but laugh in anger as he looked toward Gu Zhong and Nong Yizhen: "Commander Gu, Dean Nong, do you also feel the same way?" Gu Zhong hesitated before saying, "I can't make this decision alone. Let's have another meeting." "No need for another meeting, everything here is what Brother Ding gave me, and I won't hand it over," Qu Yi immediately said. She had never been one to think only of herself; otherwise, she wouldn't have fought so desperately for the human corridor defense line. But this time was different, these things were gifts from Brother Ding Huan, and she absolutely couldn't let them go. "Director Qu, everyone here, including yourself, is fighting desperately for the future of Earth and the continuation of humanity. If everyone were to keep things for themselves, how can others go all out to fight against the Fierce Beasts?" A pleasant voice rang out. Qu Yi didn't need to turn her head to know who had arrived. The dean of Martial Vein Mountain, Qin Qiang. At this moment, she suddenly understood Brother Ding. Why, with his immense strength, he was not willing to defend against Fierce Beasts here. The first time Brother Ding came here was because he was worried about her. Otherwise, Brother Ding would never have come to this place. A warmth suddenly filled Qu Yi's heart. Maybe she wasn't very familiar with Brother Ding, but for her sake, Brother Ding would give up anything. Thus, she too could give up anything for Brother Ding. Looking at the faces of the people around her, Qu Yi suddenly made up her mind. If Brother Ding wanted to leave Earth, as long as he was willing to take her, she would go with him. "No need to hold a meeting to discuss. Earth's resources cannot be claimed by anyone. Seize them," John Nesf's voice sounded. "Wait, Qu Yi is the director, and she has made significant contributions to the human corridor defense line. She is even internationally recognized with a Star Guardian Rank. Let's all talk this out nicely," Gu Zhong hastily said. "Let's see who dares to make a move," Zhong Chi said in a rage. John Nesf snorted, paying no attention to Zhong Chi and lunged directly toward Qu Yi. He knew it was unrealistic to have someone else take action. With Qu Yi's status, it was unlikely that anyone would dare to offend the Security Department and attack her. Only he could make the move himself. "You dare." Seeing John lunging toward Qu Yi, Zhong Chi quickly drew the Starry Sky Blade from behind and slashed at John. Although John was strong, he was far inferior to Zhong Chi. However, Zhong Chi's blade was blocked by Gu Zhong. John was, after all, the highest advisor of the Federation, and as the Federation Army Commander, Gu Zhong had to intervene when Zhong Chi made a move. Gu Zhong wasn't enough to handle Zhong Chi alone; seeing this, Nong Yizhen quickly stepped in to join the two-against-one. At this moment, John and Qu Yi had started fighting. Qu Yi's cultivation level was not as high as John's, not by a long shot. But when she acted, she was fast, fierce, and accurate. Her Wind Blade Skill was formless and colorless, her slices coming one after another. Even John was quickly injured. If this continued, it wouldn't be long before Qu Yi would slay John. Seeing this, Qin Qiang didn't hesitate to draw a thin blade and slash toward Qu Yi from the side. Feeling the deadly aura brought by Qin Qiang's thin blade, Qu Yi was shocked and hastened to dodge. She dodged Qin Qiang's ambush, but landed where Hou Hezhong was standing. Hou Hezhong landed a punch on Qu Yi's back, and she spat out a Blood Arrow, sent flying before crashing to the ground. John grabbed the bag containing the Blossom God Crystal Stones and even wanted to punch Qu Yi dead. "John, you're courting death." Zhu Qijiang arrived just in time, and seeing John dare to attack Qu Yi, he charged towards John in a frenzy. Seeing Zhu Qijiang's crazed demeanor and thinking of the Blossom God Crystal Stones he had acquired, John snorted and did not continue attacking Qu Yi. Qu Yi was immediately restrained by Qin Qiang, and Zhu Qijiang, determined to intervene, was again blocked by Hou Hezhong. Seeing Qu Yi sent flying, Zhong Chi was shocked, and in his distraction, he was struck by Shi Changyi who had joined the attack, spewing fresh blood and already suffering internal injuries. Seeing Qu Yi captured, Gu Zhong and Nong Yizhen stopped their attack on Zhong Chi. Shi Changyi was simply no match for Zhong Chi. With Gu Zhong and Nong Yizhen halting their assault, he too had to stop. ... Qi Xinyue took a bite of the Falcon Meat and frowned slightly. Big Brother said this Hawk was a Demon Beast and would undoubtedly taste delicious after cooking. But the fact was that it tasted no different than chewing on wood. Not just Qi Xinyue but even Ding Huan felt this Hawk had no taste. As for Lao Liu, he couldn't even bother to try the Falcon Meat. What was going on? Ding Huan inspected the Falcon Meat in his hand closely. It looked very fresh, so why was it tasteless? "Big Brother, this hawk meat is just like wood," Qi Xinyue couldn't help but blurt out. Ding Huan nodded, having observed for a while, and finally noticed something amiss. Could it be an issue with this pot? Thinking this, Ding Huan quickly sliced off a leg from the Hawk, and with several Wind Blade spells, processed the Hawk leg. Then, he placed the Hawk leg meat over the fire to roast. In just a few minutes, a rich aroma began to emanate, even attracting Lao Liu from afar with its scent. Soon the Hawk leg was roasted, and Ding Huan tore off a piece to taste. The succulence was unspeakable, and the rich essence made Ding Huan feel that if he combined eating Demon Beast meat with his cultivation, his progress would be even faster. "The essence is so strong," Qi Xinyue also took a bite and couldn't help but praise. Ding Huan dumped all the meat from the pot before examining it carefully in his hands. The pot was still nothing special, with Divine Will unable to penetrate it. It certainly wasn't an ordinary pot; there was nothing wrong with the Hawk meat. It was just that while cooking with this pot, all the energy and essence in the meat were absorbed by the pot itself. "I'm going back to continue my cultivation. Xinyue, you should also practice your spells more," Ding Huan said, taking the pot and heading back to the Blue Star. This pot, when he had the time, he would carefully study it. For now, he would prioritize advancing to Level 9 Perfect.
