Xiao Jian looked at Qin Yi with a bewildered expression, probably never having seen someone so thick-skinned, stunned.

Qin Yi just smiled, "It's getting late. I'll leave this place to you to tidy up. Goodnight."

Xiao Jian: "..."

Qin Yi returned to his room and immediately entered a state of calmness, beginning his cultivation.

After being in a fight, it's natural to find it hard to calm down, but Qin Yi was the opposite. Previously agitated and unable to settle, he quickly entered a state of cultivation at this moment.

He was at ease, but the entire Sin City was stirred into a storm. Because the Sword Sect's Execution Order had finally arrived at Sin City, now all the powers in Sin City knew about Qin Yi, and his battle achievements had spread.

Now, all the major and minor powers in Sin City were holding emergency meetings to discuss how to find Qin Yi and kill him to claim the bounty.

The Execution Order from the Sword Sect had been out for months, and Qin Yi was still alive and well, which was an insult to the Sword Sect.

Qin Yi had toppled the Sword Sect's branch, a ruler of the Southern Middle State, and months later, Qin Yi was still alive, which was a slap in the face.

Therefore, the Sword Sect directly increased the bounty. Whoever killed Qin Yi would be rewarded with five million gold coins, ten thousand high-grade spirit stones, and the position of Sword Sect Elder.

Such a temptation, few could resist.

The people who came earlier were a major power in Sin City. They got the message about the Sword Sect's intent to execute Qin Yi first, and since they had spies all over Sin City, they found Qin Yi first. They thought the task was in the bag, the Sword Sect's reward was theirs, but they all died before the task could succeed. Not a single one made it back alive.

In short, all the major and minor powers in Sin City were looking to find Qin Yi now.

As for Qin Yi, after the fierce fight, he gained some insights and was peacefully immersed in cultivation.

...

...

The next morning.

Another piece of news shook the entire Sin City.

Qin Yi was going to challenge the Sin Tower.

This news left everyone dumbfounded. Challenging the Sin Tower, was Qin Yi insane?

Everyone began to inquire about Qin Yi's whereabouts.

Because if Qin Yi reached the Sin Tower, he would surely die inside. By then, they wouldn't be able to get the Sword Sect's bounty. So, they had to kill him before he arrived at the Sin Tower to intercept the bounty.

"Young Master Qin, Young Master, it's no longer safe for us here."

Mo Xiao, disguised, went out for a while and returned with a worried expression.

"I just went out, and all the major and minor powers of Sin City are looking for Young Master Qin's whereabouts. Especially the Poison Snake Organization, Soul Chasing Mercenary Group, and Blood Killing Tower, these large forces have even teamed up, wanting to kill Young Master Qin."

Jing Wuyan looked worried, "The news about Brother Qin wanting to challenge the Sin Tower shouldn't have been released so early. These people are surely planning to intercept and kill before Brother Qin heads to the Sin Tower to claim the Sword Sect's bounty."

"Jia Fengping, Mo Xiao, quickly think of a way to find a safer place. Since Brother Qin wants to challenge the Sin Tower, he must conserve his energy. Right now, he mustn't engage with others lightly. Any injury could be detrimental to challenging the Sin Tower."

Jia Fengping and others took their orders.

"We'll go look right away."

Qin Yi was leisurely enjoying tea with Xiao Jian. Seeing Mo Xiao and the others get ready to find a safe place, he set down the teacup and waved his hand, saying, "Don't bother. Do you know why I wanted you to release the news that I would challenge the Sin Tower in three days?"

Everyone looked at him in confusion.

Qin Yi smiled and said, "Both the Blood Killing Tower and Poison Tongue Organization are insignificant. What's important now is to take advantage of this opportunity to make a profit."

Everyone exchanged glances, bewildered. What did he mean by taking advantage of this opportunity to make a profit?

"Brother Qin, what do you mean?"

Qin Yi laughed, "Bet. The Sword Sect is paying so much for my life. If these people can't find me, they'll be unwilling. So, I'm giving them a chance to make up for their losses."

Everyone was puzzled and still didn't understand.

Yun Mengyao blinked her apricot eyes a few times and said, "Open a betting pool."

Qin Yi laughed, "That's right, open a betting pool. The reason I released the news so early was to draw everyone's attention to me. This way, you all are safe. Now, I want you to find a place to set up a betting pool, using my challenge of the Sin Tower as the gimmick."

Everyone looked at Qin Yi in shock, the idea was incredible. Now the entire city was after his head, and yet Qin Yi was still thinking about making money.

A cunning gleam flashed in Qin Yi's eyes, "We won't get the Sword Sect's bounty. But since the people of Sin City want to kill me, isn't it fair for me to profit from them a bit?"

After speaking, Qin Yi looked at Xiao Jian, "Uncle Jian, this matter still needs you to handle."

Xiao Jian was slightly taken aback, "How do I handle it?"

"First, your high cultivation, age, and esteemed reputation make your words credible and able to maintain order. Second, Xiao Yanzi and the others can pretend to be your followers or subordinates, which will help disguise identities and ensure everyone's safety."

Xiao Jian thought for a moment, then shook his head, "Are you joking? Thinking of making money at a time like this, I think you're crazy."

"Uncle Jian, I've thought this through carefully. Now, the Sword Sect's intent to kill me has overshadowed the pursuit of Xiao Yanzi. Just right, while everyone's focus is on me, you can take this opportunity to hide identities and ensure safety."

"Since you all are safe, why not seize the opportunity to make some money. Now, as long as you do it right, we can fleece these people of Sin City, and make a killing. They want to kill me, I fleece them, it's just reciprocation."

Yun Mengyao was full of excitement, having been with Qin Yi for a long time, she felt she was becoming more and more of a money-grubber, asking, "What do you mean by just doing it right?"

Qin Yi smiled, "Find a collaborator. And this partner must be a large force, otherwise, if you set up a betting pool, people need to be willing to bet, and what if you run away with the money? Therefore, we need a large force to team up and create a scheme to make money."

Xiao Jian frowned slightly, feeling that Qin Yi's approach was too reckless. Logically, they should find a safe place to stay quietly for three days, and then go on to challenge the Sin Tower. He didn't know how to describe Qin Yi's thinking of making money at this moment?

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

Yun Mengyao laughed, "Don't worry, when it comes to making money, Qin Yi is serious. If he says it can be done, then it surely can be done. You all just wait to count the money."

Jing Wuyan said, "So which major power is Brother Qin planning to collaborate with? Do you have any candidates?" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Qin Yi pondered for a moment, "Choose from the Soul Chasing Mercenary Group, Blood Killing Tower, and Poison Tongue Organization. These three powers are not small and have credibility, so the betters will feel reassured."

Xiao Jian's eyes suddenly widened, "Are you crazy?"
