Qin Yi slaying Xu Jin left those outside both shocked and afraid.

The Seven-inch Snake and the others conceded.

Faced with their sycophancy, Yun Mengyao didn't bother to argue. Since Qin Yi wasn't by her side, it was better not to provoke the Seven-inch Snake and his group. If they retaliated out of desperation, they would still end up at a disadvantage. Everything could wait until Qin Yi returned.

The most shaken one was Jing Wuyan, because the third floor belonged to the Netherworld Hall, and they surely wouldn't trouble Qin Yi. If Qin Yi reached the fourth floor smoothly and won, he could rescue Xiaoxi.

The Soul Chasing Mercenary Group and Blood Killing Tower were also in mixed emotions. If Qin Yi won, their bets were right. However, Qin Yi's terrifying power deeply unsettled them.

Qin Yi glanced outside, then withdrew his gaze and turned around, heading towards the third floor.

"Master, can we discuss something?"

"Hmm?"

"Master, if you defeat these people next, could you leave some for me? The blood of these Transcendence Tribulation Stage experts would be too precious to waste."

Qin Yi paused slightly, having forgotten about this.

"You should go now and absorb the blood of Jiang Chao and Xu Jin."

The Blood Flood Dragon was overjoyed, "Thank you, Master. I'll come back soon."

Having said this, the Blood Flood Dragon transformed into a red light and flew out of the stone window.

Qin Yi moved his body a bit, then walked step by step up the stone steps toward the third floor.

"Boom!"

Pushing with a hand, the stone gate rumbled open.

Qin Yi walked in and looked around, involuntarily exclaiming softly. The third floor looked similar to the second floor, but there were differences. The entire third floor was shrouded in a great array, specifically a defense array of high rank, one that he couldn't set up with his current cultivation.

Could it be that he underestimated the Tower Master of the third floor, who was an expert in arrays?

Qin Yi speculated and walked forward.

Soon, Qin Yi's steps halted as he looked at the center of the third floor.

A table, two chairs, and a person.

Qin Yi scrutinized the other person; his age, needless to say, was at least several hundred years, even older than Xiao Jian. Clad in a black robe, with a lean face.

The other person was also sizing up Qin Yi. Suddenly, he smiled lightly and said, "For you to get here, you really surprised me."

"No need to be surprised, wait until I reach the top of the tower, then you'll have reason for surprise."

The old man laughed, "This old man is Yue Liuzhi. Young friend Qin Yi, come over and sit down."

Qin Yi knew that Yue Liuzhi was considered on his side, as Xiao Jian had mentioned when he entered that he was from the Netherworld Hall.

"I'd better not. Let's fight first to avoid wasting time."

Yue Liuzhi looked at Qin Yi curiously, "Didn't anyone tell you my identity when you came in here?"

"Uncle Jian mentioned it."

"Uncle Jian?" Yue Liuzhi was slightly taken aback, and then asked, "Do you mean Xiao Jian?"

Qin Yi nodded.

Yue Liuzhi's mouth twitched slightly a few times, "Knowing we're on the same side, what's the point of fighting? Come and share a drink with this old man, then you can proceed to the fourth floor."

Qin Yi smiled and said, "Meeting a master and letting the opportunity slip by would be regrettable. Please, senior, enlighten me."

Yue Liuzhi was a bit confused, "What kind of strange problem is this? A battle maniac?"

Qin Yi gave a wry smile, "To be honest, senior, I just broke through on the third floor, and my foundation is unstable. I need a battle to stabilize it."

Yue Liuzhi suddenly understood, "I see. Well, that won't affect drinking. After we drink, this old man will help you move around a bit. My old bones haven't moved in a long time."

Qin Yi nodded, walked over, and sat down in the chair opposite Yue Liuzhi, picking up the wine jug to pour two cups of wine.

"No dishes? What's tasty about plain wine? A few peanuts would do." Actually, after two consecutive battles, Qin Yi was already hungry.

"The dishes would ruin the taste of the wine."

Qin Yi looked displeased, "Wine and meat go together."

Yue Liuzhi looked at Qin Yi, "It seems you're hungry."

Qin Yi didn't hide it, nodding slightly.

Yue Liuzhi smiled, flicked his fingers, sending a wisp of energy into the depths of the third floor. Soon, the sound of a bell spreading out with a clang.

"Just wait a moment, the food will come soon."

Qin Yi was surprised, "Seriously, you have a chef inside here? Quite the enjoyment!"

Yue Liuzhi laughed, "This has always been in the Sin Tower. As long as you ring the bell, someone will deliver the food."

"No wonder. This place is so empty, I was just wondering how you manage food and drink here."

Yue Liuzhi laughed, "Even if there was no one in charge, we aren't incapable of moving our arms and legs. We could just go out to eat, couldn't we?"

"You can still go out?"

Yue Liuzhi looked at Qin Yi speechlessly, "We are the masters of the Sin Tower, why can't we go out?"

"I thought you had to maintain some air of mystery."

After speaking, Qin Yi added, "Right, this third floor array, you understand the art of arrays."

"No, this originally existed in the Sin Tower, not sure who set it up. It was there since I became the Tower Master of this floor. I think it's to protect the Sin Tower. By the time one reaches the third floor, the destructive power in combat is considerable. Without protection from an array, the Sin Tower might be destroyed."

Qin Yi was somewhat amazed. This array had been around for so long and still held such power, indicating the high skill of the person who set it. Although not as good as Ning Tian, it far surpassed him.

"Makes sense, I was just wondering earlier, if the tower could withstand such overpowering battles as the cultivation of the Tower Masters increases the higher you go."

Yue Liuzhi was shocked, "You hit through the second floor?"

"Uh..." Qin Yi was slightly embarrassed, "It wasn't me, it was Xu Jin."

He had been slapped from the second to the first floor, almost dying, which was a little embarrassing to admit.

"Is Xu Jin still alive?"

"Dead."

Yue Liuzhi nodded slightly, "I thought he would be dead. However, since you and Xu Jin fought and broke through the second floor, now that Xu Jin is dead, the cost of repairing it should fall on you."

"Why?" Qin Yi stared, "Xu Jin broke it, not me. Don't try to extort money from me. My money is tied with wire to my ribs. To spend even a single gold coin, I'd have to yank it out, and each coin comes with my blood and sinew."

Yue Liuzhi was dumbfounded. He then said, "Jiang Chao and Xu Jin were both killed by you. Now that they're dead, their assets fall to you, so naturally, you should handle the repair costs."

"What?" Qin Yi was stunned, "You mean their assets are all mine?"

In fact, after killing Jiang Chao and Xu Jin, he did search the first and second floors, but after scanning it over multiple times, he found no secret rooms, not even a single gold coin. This left him quite perplexed. Wasn't it said that each floor's Tower Master in the Sin Tower was unbelievably wealthy? How could there not be a single gold coin?

Yue Liuzhi nodded, "Yes. It seems you didn't know that if you win the challenge, all the Tower Master's assets become yours."
