<h4>Chapter 1875: Chapter 1875: The Prodigal</h4>


    Suddenly, the sound of breaking air came from a distance, and Qin Yu, with a grave expression, turned his head to look.


    A figure was flickering continuously in the distance, soon arriving in front of the two of them. Lin Haixin’s face changed drastically—it was Shen Yi! How had hee back?


    Lin Haixin instinctively wanted to step forward to protect Qin Yu, but how could Qin Yu let Lin Haixin protect him?


    Qin Yu pulled Lin Haixin behind him, facing the swiftly approaching Shen Yi with an undaunted expression.


    Seeing that the two of them were alive, Shen Yi was overjoyed. That’s great! Had that bastard Ninth Elder not found them?


    "Senior, why have youe back? If you’ve changed your mind and want to kill us, go ahead! We certainly won’t even frown!" Qin Yu feigned nonchnce.


    "Kill? Why would I kill you? Xin’er is Yan’er’s daughter; I won’t make things difficult for you," Shen Yi said gently, shaking his head. "By the way, have you seen the Ninth Elder?"


    Ninth Elder? Qin Yu rolled his eyes. He was so done—upon entering the Forbidden Land, he had injured the Chief Elder!


    And just now, he had crippled the Ninth Elder!


    This was like a pact with the Forbidden Land not to return without dying!


    "I’m not sure if the person in the Warm Pond is the Ninth Elder?" Qin Yu knew it was useless to lie in front of a Quasi-Divine Realm expert and simply pointed towards where Shen Chong had fallen.


    Shen Yi turned his head for a nce and saw Shen Zhong continuously falling.


    Shen Yi’s expression became very odd. How could this be? This kid had already been injured by himself, all his cards yed out; how could he still injure the Ninth Elder?


    The Ninth Elder was really shaming the Phantom Sect!


    Shen Yi shook his head lightly, and with a whoosh, he leaped into the Warm Pond.


    Soon, Shen Yi fished Shen Zhong out of the water.


    "Quite ruthless with your strike," Shen Yimented lightly, shaking his head and starting to cultivate energy to heal Shen Zhong.


    With a retch, Shen Zhong spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and several mouthfuls of pond water, slowly regaining his senses.


    "Sect Master, kill these two, they are spies!"


    "Ninth Elder, aren’t you in solitary confinement? Who let you out?"


    Shen Zhong’s haughtiness vanished in an instant, his head drooping as he muttered, "Sect Master, you just ordered all members of the Elders’ Council toe to the forest..."


    "I did indeed issue that order, I won’t hold you ountable foring to the forest, but could you please tell me why when all the other elders have returned, you are still here?"


    "Your subordinate... Your subordinate stayed to catch spies," Shen Zhong’s voice got softer andcked confidence.


    "Spies my foot! Get back to your confinement, and your solitary confinement is extended by one month!"


    "Yes!" Shen Zhong slunk away, his head hanging as he walked slowly into the deep forest; with each step, the pain in his chest intensified, and so did his hatred for Qin Yu!


    Only when Shen Zhong’s figure had disappeared into the depth of the forest did Shen Yi turn around and look at Qin Yu and Lin Haixin with interest.


    "Kid, you were clearly on the brink of death just a while ago. How have you recovered your Heavenly Human Realm strength so quickly?"


    As he spoke, Shen Yi took a sniff and then showed an expression of great pain. Pointing at Qin Yu, he was at a loss for words.


    "You... You kid! You actually wasted a Golden Myriad Ironskin Dendrobium? This is one of the top ten divine medicines in the Ancient Martial World! How could you be so extravagant!


    You simply..."


    Qin Yu gave a wry smile, "Senior, I know I’ve been wasteful, but if I hadn’t been, perhaps by now, I would be nothing more than a corpse!


    And Xin’er, she would have been bullied by the Ninth Elder."
