Now that things are settled here, all these little devils have been dealt with by him, there's no need to stay any longer. He still has to take Chu Yunxuan to watch the sunrise.

Unfortunately, because of what happened, they lost a lot of time, and now the sun has risen over the sea, so they can't see the sunrise anymore.

"Wait a moment..."

Just as they were about to leave, Han Zai suddenly called out.

"What's wrong?"

Qin Fang was taken aback, asking somewhat puzzled, not quite sure what he wanted to do.

"Benefactor, we have nothing to repay you with. The treasure that the little devils were looking for, we'll give it to you..."

Speaking, Han Zai ran into the bamboo grove, and after a short time, came out holding a box, respectfully offering it to Qin Fang.

"This thing seems extremely important to those little devils, to the point that they wanted to kill everyone in our gang... I've already harmed the brothers in the gang, and I don't want anyone else to die tragically for it. This thing in our hands is like a ticking time bomb, so..."

Han Zai's reasoning was quite convincing. Although Qin Fang knew he said it because he feared Qin Fang might not take the item, it was basically true.

This item is indeed very important to the little devils, specifically to Kondo Ryota's master, the old monster. He needs the item inside to practice his cultivation.

If it weren't for that, the young swordsman wouldn't be so anxious to pursue it, even to the extent of bloodying Han Zai's little gang.

Originally, Han Zai didn't understand why until he accidentally discovered that the little devils were after this item, so he took it, helping the boss escape...

Thinking they could escape safely to the mountain forest, but almost lost his life.

Because of this, Han Zai specially hid the item well, already deciding that since it was so important, he would rather die than let the little devils find it again!

But what happened next was completely unexpected—the supposed enemy Qin Fang ended up helping them.

Not only did he save the boss's life, but he also killed all the enemies pursuing them, freeing them from further escape.

Yet, they were still very hesitant on how to handle this item, and after thinking it over, Han Zai concluded that this item was the source of disaster. Anyone getting it would invite trouble, and only someone like Qin Fang could protect it...

"Alright, I'll take it..."

Qin Fang also knew the importance of the item and was aware that the old monster would never easily give up. Hence, keeping it with Han Zai was indeed unsuitable. After some thought, Qin Fang nodded and agreed to take the little devils' highly precious treasure!

Taking the box, Qin Fang didn't even bother to open it, simply holding it in his hand, seemingly unconcerned about its contents.

However, after it was handed over, both Han Zai and his boss breathed a slight sigh of relief, at least the source of trouble was given away.

Then, Qin Fang and his companion parted ways with Han Zai, heading towards the seaside, while Han Zai and his boss left Little Qing Mountain, deciding whether to return to Jiangzhou or cross the mountain to the neighboring city, which was their own choice...

Essentially, after this farewell, it would be difficult for both sides to meet again, with the vast Dragon Country and over a billion people, the chances of meeting again were truly slim.

"What's inside this box? Those Japanese people seemed very concerned..."

Chu Yunxuan was also very curious about the contents of the box.

Makes one wonder what could drive those little devils to commit such abhorrent crimes just to retrieve this box, the contents definitely must be very exceptional.

"I think it's better if you don't get curious, the contents inside are not good things..."

Qin Fang smiled wryly, although he hadn't looked inside, he knew what was in it, as he had already probed the young swordsman's mind.

But precisely because he knew what was inside, Qin Fang was reluctant to let Chu Yunxuan see it...

It's not that he's stingy, but rather the contents are just... too disgusting!

"You know?"

Chu Yunxuan, hearing Qin Fang's tone, couldn't help but ask in surprise.

She had been following Qin Fang all along, and since he never opened the box from the beginning, she wondered how he knew what was inside.

"I sort of know... You know, his brother was the one I killed earlier. I learned from him..."

A heaven-defying skill like the Mind Reading Technique is really inconvenient to mention, so the blame could only be placed on the dead Kondo Ryota.

"Then just tell me what's inside, and I won't look..."

Noticing Qin Fang's uncomfortable expression, Chu Yunxuan, though curious, decided not to look but only wanted to know what was inside.

"A heart!"

Qin Fang hesitated for a moment but ultimately gave an honest answer.

"Ugh..."

Chu Yunxuan was stunned and showed a surprised expression, but at the same time, a bit of relief crossed her lips as she muttered, "Thank goodness I didn't look..."

Qin Fang was sure that although Han Zai had obtained the box, he hadn't opened it; otherwise, he would know what was inside.

Perhaps the Japanese came too quickly, giving him no time to open the box, forcing them to flee for their lives.

The box contained a heart, more precisely a heart that had been condensed with the entire essence blood of a skilled fighter, sealed with a special ice technique.

Moreover, this skilled fighter was incredibly strong in life, at least at the Master Level Peak, but unfortunately, he was plotted against by that old monster, who used the Art of Hemomancy to forcibly condense all his essence blood into his heart.

The old monster then extracted this heart, telling his disciple to take it back to Japan, while he himself was temporarily unable to escape pursuit due to this matter.

A Master Level Peak fighter is hopeful of reaching Grandmaster status and is highly valued by any sect, but such a fighter was plotted against and killed, with even his heart taken away, which would surely discomfort any sect, making the pursuit of the old monster quite normal...

But the old monster is no ordinary person; killing him is very difficult, and capturing him would require a lot of luck.

From the young swordsman's mind, Qin Fang learned that the old monster could easily evade pursuit; when previously chased by five or six Grandmaster-level fighters, he managed to escape unscathed...

Basically, the old monster could return to Japan safely, and this heart was meant for his cultivation!

Earlier, Qin Fang discovered Wu Jian's injuries and judged that Wu Jian had been hit with the Art of Hemomancy and used Bloodthirsty Grass.

But after killing Kondo Ryota, Qin Fang did not find these things, and he was puzzled until he learned of the old monster's existence, finally understanding the whole cause and effect.

The old monster's cultivation of the Art of Hemomancy had evolved from the Demon Sect's Coagulating Blood God Palm but lacked much of the essence.

However, judging from the old monster's actions, especially using a heart condensed with a Master Level Peak expert's entire essence blood for cultivation...

Qin Fang estimated that the old monster was either cultivating a complete Coagulating Blood God Palm or aiming to break into the Grandmaster Realm...

From the limited data available, it is known that the old monster is not at the heaven-defying level; he remains at the Master Level, specifically at the Master Level Peak, just a step away from entering the Grandmaster Level.

Of course, the old monster's actual combat strength is much stronger.

After all, the Art of Hemomancy and Bloodthirsty Grass are secret techniques or wicked items used to enhance oneself, especially for an old monster who has cultivated the Art of Hemomancy.

In other words, even though this old monster is at the Master Level Peak, his strength is at the Grandmaster Level...

Perhaps because he has been stuck at the Master Level Peak for many years, with his lifespan nearing its end, this old monster took a desperate risk by coming to Dragon Country to hunt a Master Level Peak expert, planning to take his heart back to Japan to prepare for breaking into the Grandmaster Realm.

And it is precisely for this reason that he cares so much about this heart; after all, hunting experts at this level isn't an easy task, and any small mistake would result in completely different outcomes.

Qin Fang estimates that the old monster will surely pursue them, as he cannot possibly give up on this heart... unless he dares to take another risk in attempting to hunt a Master Level Peak expert again!

As for him having obtained the complete Coagulating Blood God Palm, that is almost impossible; the Demon Sect, though hidden, has a very large force, and although the old monster is slippery and exceedingly fierce, he wouldn't dare to provoke the Demon Sect... especially with the Blood Demon Sect, the strongest in the Demon Sect!

Just the Art of Hemomancy had once caused the Demon Sect experts to take action, supposedly killing many who practiced the Art of Hemomancy, leading this cultivation technique to temporarily retreat from the Martial World.

Later, the Demon Sect vanished, and those practising the Art of Hemomancy became low-key, and not as high-profile as before, thereby achieving harmony.

Even the Art of Hemomancy is this way; if the Coagulating Blood God Palm were spread, it would definitely cause a great upheaval within the Demon Sect, with the Blood Demon Sect experts coming out to kill, leaving the old monster with no choice but a dead end...(To be continued.
