Deep within Red Leaf Valley.
Jiang Huo'Er gazed at the ground filled with corpses, her eyes slightly reddening.
However, in the Special Security Department, comrades fall every year, and in this Secret Realm, fraught with danger, it is even more so.
This battle, facing the calculations and ambush of Japan's two top families, was difficult enough to win. Overall, this result is quite good, as the elite forces of those two Japanese families are nearly wiped out.
Qin Yang sequentially employed the Rejuvenation Technique to help heal the injured, and finally, he took two Primordial Spirit Pills himself, sitting cross-legged to restore the Spiritual Power within him, while Zilan obediently stood by his side.
Swish!
Twenty minutes later, a figure in a silver robe shot over, standing in front of the crowd.
The newcomer was the silver-robed youth who had gone off to chase Chizuru Ayamai.
"Senior Brother, how did it go?"
The blue-clad girl looked at the silver-robed youth.
"That woman got away."
The silver-robed youth shook his head with an unwilling expression.
On this Immortal Island, the trees are dense, the bushes plentiful, and with that woman using the Blood Escape Skill, he lost her trail soon after the chase began.
Hearing this, the blue-clad girl nodded. These Japanese are called ninjas because they were originally used for assassinations, excelling at concealing themselves and escaping.
"By the way, Senior Brother, where is Master?"
The blue-clad girl asked.
"Master went to the center of the Immortal Island because something was discovered there..."
Stopping for a moment, the silver-robed youth's gaze swept over Qin Yang, Xue Qingbai, and others around him.
Seeing this, Qin Yang and the others were about to leave when the silver-robed youth gestured to them to stay.
"We are all of Huaxia origin, so it doesn't matter if you know. Besides, someone among you should already know this: at the center of this Immortal Island, there's a Blood Essence Spirit Fruit Tree that has lived for thousands of years, the most precious thing on this island."
Pausing for a brief moment, the silver-robed youth continued.
"Blood Essence Spirit Fruit?"
Qin Yang's eyebrows twitched slightly.
He had never heard of such a Spirit Fruit before; it must be a unique term to this place. However, judging by the tone of the silver-robed youth, this fruit must be exceptionally rare.
"The Blood Essence Spirit Fruit—I do know a bit about it. It's said to be extremely attractive to Demon Beasts, capable of promoting their bloodline evolution. Humans who consume it can enhance their lifespan and rapidly increase their strength, with no side effects."
Nearby, Xue Qingbai's face lit up with a glimmer, and an eager look flashed across his aged face.
Listening to Xue Qingbai's words, Qin Yang's eyes seemed thoughtful, a momentary spark of enlightenment, though mingled with disbelief.
"Indeed, when Master and I headed there, some of the more perceptive beasts were already restless. The fruit must ripen today, but upon hearing the commotion in the valley, I hurried over, finding Junior Sister truly here as well."
The silver-robed youth looked at the blue-clad girl with a smile.
"The Blood Essence Spirit Fruit is incredibly rare; I've only seen records in ancient books. I never expected one to exist on this Immortal Island."
The blue-clad girl's bright eyes twinkled as she spoke.
"Yes, it's indeed surprising. If we consume a few, our cultivation will advance further; confronting that Japanese woman again and defeating her will be much easier."
The silver-robed youth nodded.
"Let's go, Junior Sister, we should join Master."
The silver-robed youth said.
"Yes."
The blue-clad girl nodded, her gaze sliding over Qin Yang, pausing for a moment, remembering his role in saving her.
"Farewell, everyone."
After bidding goodbye to the others, the blue-clad girl and the silver-robed youth departed.
"Qin Yang, my young friend, many thanks. Without you, we might not have survived this place."
Xue Qingbai cupped his hands towards Qin Yang in gratitude.
As the strongest Tributor of the Special Security Department, he had heard of Qin Yang and the legendary Mountain Villa, but had not expected Qin Yang to possess such formidable power.
"Elder Xue, no need to be so formal. I am also part of the Special Security Department, and these Japanese have constantly eyed my Feipu Manor. Encountering them, I can only choose to slay them!"
Qin Yang's eyes gleamed with cold determination.
"Yes."
After exchanging a few more words with Qin Yang, Xue Qingbai and the others watched Qin Yang and Zilan leave Red Leaf Valley.
"Brother Qin Yang, are we going to see that Blood Essence Spirit Fruit Tree?"
Outside Red Leaf Valley, Zilan asked.
"Yes, of course, we must. This Spirit Fruit might help you breakthrough to the Immortal Master Realm, and it will also be incredibly beneficial for Xiao Yan and Xiao Fei, and even for me as well."
Qin Yang's eyes sparkled with determination.
Without delay, Qin Yang and Zilan's figures flickered, heading towards the center of the Immortal Island.
Swish! Swish!
With considerable speed, Qin Yang and Zilan swiftly advanced deeper into the Immortal Island.
Along the way, they encountered some Demon Beasts, but fortunately, none were too powerful.
About half an hour later, Qin Yang glanced at the sky, ensuring there were no Bloodthirsty Vultures nearby, then swiftly reached the top of a giant tree to survey the area, moments later descending back to the ground.
"Brother Qin Yang, are we close to the center of the Immortal Island?"
Zilan asked.
"About seventy to eighty miles still to go."
Qin Yang replied, noting the expansive size of this island.
Continuing forward, Qin Yang occasionally ascended to the top of giant trees to reorient their path.
Along the way, Qin Yang even encountered people from other countries. Since none provoked him, he paid them no heed.
As Qin Yang and Zilan moved towards the island's center, a dense, mist-like enticing fragrance began to permeate the air, spreading around. It was remarkably pleasing to the senses.
With just a gentle inhale, the Spiritual Power within Qin Yang began to come alive, a yearning for the scent's source stirring within him, compelling him to investigate.
Beside him, Zilan displayed a similar expression, captivated by the fragrance.
The source of this entrancing scent was indeed the center of the Immortal Island.
"So it seems, it's the Spirit Fruit I suspected."
Inhaling the fragrance, Qin Yang's eyes flashed with brilliance.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
With the fragrance spreading, the roaring of nearby Demon Beasts suddenly escalated, a tinge of madness in their cries.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The ground began to shake violently, and behind Qin Yang, a dozen massive Fiery Fire Wolves charged in their direction.
Each of these Fiery Fire Wolves had red eyes, frantically galloping, flames blazing around them, while a hint of frenzy flickered in their eyes.
"Brother Qin Yang!"
Seeing this, Zilan paled; handling so many Fiery Fire Wolves would be quite difficult.
"Don't worry, they're not after us. Let's head up the tree first."
With a focused gaze, Qin Yang shook his head, quickly grabbing Zilan as they both leaped onto a giant tree's branch.
