<h4>Chapter 1880: Chapter 1880: The Ruse of Self-Injury</h4>


    "The Third Elder speaks wisely. If I were Lin Xiaotian, I definitely wouldn’t strike at a young man from the Heavenly Human Realm. It’s beneath one’s dignity," said one member.


    Seeing everyone looking down on Qin Yu, Lin Haixin was displeased and said impatiently, "My husband is very powerful. He even wounded your Chief Elder!"


    What? Defeated the Chief Elder? All the Elders disyed disbelieving smiles.


    "Young girl, don’t spout nonsense! The Chief Elder is at the Celestial Realm Peak, and it is said that he almost touched the threshold of the Quasi-Divine Realm in the recent battle. As soon as he recovers from his injuries, he will ascend to the Quasi-Divine Realm!


    How could Qin, who is clearly just a middle-stage expert of the Heavenly Human Realm, possibly have wounded the Chief Elder?"


    "Young girl, don’t think that just because you’re the daughter of Liu Ruyan, you can spew lies. We’re discussing important matters here; do not interrupt rudely."


    "The youth of today really don’t know the immensity of heaven and earth."


    ...


    While the various Elders were making their mockingments, Shen Yi gave a wry smile and said, "Indeed, it was Qin who wounded the Chief Elder. When Qin fully unleashed his power, he showed the strength of the early stages of the Quasi-Divine Realm, capable of manipting the Power of Heaven and Earth within a three hundred square meter radius."


    Shen Yi’s words left everyone shocked! Everyone was staring at Qin Yu in disbelief, speechless!


    They knew the Phantom Sect Master had no reason to deceive them!


    How could this young man be so powerful?


    "If that is true, Qin indeed might be able to lure that old bugger Lin Xiaotian here."


    The Second Elder cast a wary nce at Qin Yu. He was very clear on how powerful the Chief Elder was.


    Feeling like a panda on disy, Qin Yu cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, actually, I can’t keep activating my secret technique. Within a month, I’m afraid I won’t be able to use the power of the Quasi-Divine Realm again."


    Upon hearing this, the Elders finally breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness, this young man isn’t a freak beyond handling. However, their expressions quickly soured again.


    "If Qin cannot exert the power of the Quasi-Divine Realm, our n will fail!"


    "Yes, if it’s just the strength of the middle stage of the Heavenly Human Realm, we could easily capture Qin with just a few Elders."


    "Could it be that heaven wants to doom our Phantom Sect?"


    Shen Yi somewhat regretted his actions; he shouldn’t have beaten Qin Yu so badly. If he had left Qin Yu with some strength, implementing the n would have been much easier.


    It seemed they would have to proceed with n B. In a deep voice, Shen Yi said, "Everyone, please calm down. We still have a way."


    Everyone turned their gaze to Shen Yi, who spoke solemnly, "We can employ a stratagem of self-injury."


    A stratagem of self-injury?


    Qin Yu’s face changed and he quickly shook his head.


    "Elder, you should know my situation. If I suffer further injuries, I’m done for! I cannot participate in this stratagem of self-injury."


    "Nobody said we’d hit you; it’s the Ninth Elder we’re going to hit," said Shen Yi with an annoyed re at Qin Yu.


    The Ninth Elder?


    Qin Yu blinked, his face full of confusion, as were the other Elders, who had no idea what this had to do with the Ninth Elder.


    "I would have almost forgotten if the Phantom Sect Master hadn’t brought it up. Where is the Ninth Elder? Why hasn’t he returned yet?" The Second Elder looked around.


    "Shen Zhong stayed in the Warm Pond without permission and has been punished with a year of confinement," Shen Yi stated indifferently.


    "Phantom Sect Master, forgive my bluntness, but what does confinement have to do with a stratagem of self-injury?"


    Shen Yi said with a sly smile, "Shen Zhong peeked at the Chief Elder’s granddaughter bathing with dishonorable intentions. We caught him and imposed a severe punishment. In a fit of rage, Shen Zhong snuck out of Huanhai to tip off the Phantom Kirin Sect and led the people from the Four Great Sects into the Forbidden Land."
