After subduing Liu Chen, Zhou Qing did not interrogate him or anything.

The cause and effect of this matter was extremely clear, so he didn't need to worry about it. He just had to bring the person back.

So Liu Chen never had a chance to speak. He was tied up and dragged back to Heiyun Town.

The return journey did not have to be as hurried as the journey here, and the two of them were quite leisurely.

"Is this spiritual plant the reason why he committed murder?"

Zhou Qing took out a green vine from Liu Chen’s space bag, a spiritual plant at the internal organs level.

"It should be."

Bai Ruoyue nodded and said, "The man he killed was a warrior at the Viscera Realm, and he had just come out of Black Mountain. I guess this was his gain from Black Mountain."

Bone-refining warriors cannot enter Black Mountain, and most of the warriors are poor. Even if a spiritual plant at the organ level has no use in refining bones, it is worth the risk for him.

Such things are not uncommon in Heiyun Town. There are many bone warriors from other places who specialize in doing this kind of thing.

Without a God's perspective, treasure hunting is not as fast as robbing people.

If an ordinary warrior at the organ level is targeted by a bone-refining warrior, he is doomed to die.

"Treasures are both opportunities and disasters."

Zhou Qing sighed softly, getting a treasure should be a happy event, but if you are not careful, it turns into a funeral.

He had some feelings about this.

After all, when it comes to treasures, no one in the entire Black Cloud Town has more and better treasures than him.

This month's Creation Pot is something that can drive the whole world crazy.

Even a spiritual plant at the internal organs level is coveted. If Zhou Qing's secret is exposed...

The whole world cannot tolerate him, so he will immediately start fleeing and embark on the road of being enemies of the whole world.

And there is a high probability that you cannot escape.

Fortunately, he has always kept the real secret very well, and no one would associate it with such a heaven-defying thing as the golden finger.

It's normal that some people speculate that he has a secret since he has improved so quickly.

But secrets come in different sizes, and those geniuses from the big sects all have some secrets of opportunity.

The gold finger is kept secret, that's enough.

Bai Ruoyue said: "This spiritual plant must be handed over to the government officials, and then the rest of his things will belong to us."

Zhou Qing shook his head. "Although he is a bone-refining warrior, he is just a casual cultivator and has nothing good at all."

Bai Ruoyue was speechless, "Junior brother, you are too picky now."

"If you don't want it, give it to the tutelary fort."

"Yes, I deserve it. How can I not want it?"

This is the consistent rule. When the government entrusts someone of Bai Ruoyue's status to do something, regardless of whether the task is successful or not, he or she will be credited with a merit and rewarded.

Of course, getting things done will definitely give you greater credit and better rewards.

If the task is successful, all the gains during the mission, except those related to the case, will belong to the client and they will be at their disposal.

This spiritual plant is stolen property and must be dealt with by the government. The government will not take other things.

From a legal perspective, once the case is closed, the spiritual plant will be returned to the victim's family members.

However, legal principles are legal principles, but it is people who enforce the law.

So it goes without saying who will get this thing in the end.

But this is none of Zhou Qing’s and the others’ business.

Do what you should do and take what you should take. There is no need to be greedy or to meddle in other people's business.

The gains during the mission and the rewards after the mission are motivating everyone to be willing to accept the government's commission.

The Great Qi Dynasty has been established for 400 years, and it is very experienced in dealing with local forces and independent martial artists.

If you want someone to do something for you, you have to promise them a huge profit.

Even for people within the court, the reward and punishment system was very complete and they were generous in giving rewards.

Who will pay attention to you if you just make empty promises and talk about ideals?

I have worked so hard to cultivate myself and become successful, just to see you make empty promises?

My sword is not bad either! I can chop off your head!

Only incompetent organizations will promise the people below them nothing.

If my monthly salary is one or two taels of silver, I'll just laugh.

With a monthly salary of one hundred taels of gold, the organization is my home.

The two of them communicated with each other and were in a good mood along the way.

The debut of the male and female evil spirits was a great success! But this good mood did not last long.

After Zhou Qing saw a man blocking his way home, his ease and comfort disappeared, and his face was filled with solemnity.

It was a person covered in a black robe, facing them, but their face could not be seen because of the large black robe.

Zhou Qing stopped and grabbed Bai Ruoyue.

"Junior brother, what's wrong?"

Zhou Qing uttered a few words softly.

"The holy realm."

Moreover, this person brought Zhou Qing a strong sense of crisis, which showed that he was not an ordinary saint.

Regardless of realm or means, he could not be a weakling in the realm of manifestation of saintliness.

Bai Ruoyue was slightly stunned, and her face changed. She stared at the man in black robe and asked, "Who are you?"

“When I first entered the realm of internal organs, I showed signs of being able to roam freely in this realm…” That person spoke slowly, his voice was quite feminine, like a woman but not quite a woman.

"Black Cloud Town has truly produced an incredible genius."

“If I could join a martial arts sect in the future, practice a higher level of inheritance, and learn a peerless magical skill, I would truly be a peerless immortal. Looking at the world, I would also be a top genius.”

"In just a few months, he has gone from being an ordinary person to this point. This is truly admirable and awe-inspiring."

"Incredible, really incredible, never heard of, never seen before."

It seems that everything that happened just now was under the watchful eyes of this man in black robe.

But he must have been very far away, or he was using some special Taoist technique to observe.

Otherwise, if he was close at hand and observed openly, there was no way Zhou Qing would not have noticed it even if he was at the Manifestation Saint Realm.

Was this an accidental encounter, or was it premeditated? Zhou Qing asked calmly, "Are you here to save him? Are you his accomplice?"

"Just an irrelevant person."

Yes, if he was really an accomplice, he should have shown up and saved Liu Chen when Zhou Qing was feeding Liu Chen the Zhenwu Pill.

He watched Liu Chen being captured, and after he appeared, he watched Zhou Qing and the others fall from the clouds to the bottom of the valley.

And since you are not here for Liu Chen...

"So, you are here to kill me."

"No."

The black-robed man replied, "To kill you."

"You can ask for help and see if I can kill you before Lu Qingmo from Xuandu Temple arrives."

Arrogant, really too arrogant.

But such words further illustrate the black-robed man's confidence.

One side is a saint, the other side is just two people at the internal organs level, and there is still a gap between them to refine the bones.

With such a huge gap, how could an accident happen? This was a sure kill!

Zhou Qing asked: "Who are you from? Or where are you from?"

When Liu Chen saw what happened suddenly, he was surprised.

He was indeed just a lone ranger and did not recognize the man in black robe who suddenly appeared.

But it doesn’t matter, he also heard what Zhou Qing said just now.

Is this man a master in the realm of manifestation of saintliness, and he came here specifically to kill these two Taibai geniuses!

In this case, how could these two people not die?

It would be better for him to die. As long as these two people died, he would have a chance to survive. Although the hope was not great, it was better than being escorted back to Black Cloud Town.

He needs variables. Only with changes can he survive!

At that time, I will surrender to this man in black robe and become his dog, or...

Liu Chen's eyes suddenly went dark, and his thoughts were suddenly interrupted. He was no longer able to think.

Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)

Zhou Qing took action, [Taibai] cut off his head, and then after his soul appeared, he directly dispersed his soul.

In this way, even if a great master took action, it would be impossible to call back his soul and obtain any information from Liu Chen.

Whether I can survive or not, you definitely can't survive.

Of course, Zhou Qing killed Liu Chen not because he wanted to take someone down with him before he died.

He just didn't want news of what happened next to get out.

Only the dead can keep secrets, let alone the spirits that have been scattered.

"Being clever."

The black-robed man's tone did not fluctuate.

He just thought that Zhou Qing didn't believe that he had no connection with Liu Chen and wanted to take revenge on him before he died.

Bai Ruoyue did not ask Zhou Qing why he did this. At such an emergency moment, he was just a murderer.

"Big sister, listen to me."

Zhou Qing's voice rang in Bai Ruoyue's mind, extremely urgent.

"Let me deal with him later. You take my body and run. Keep running. Don't look back. Don't care about me."

"Don't act on impulse, and don't be stubborn. The opponent is very strong, and I can't be distracted from now on. Be obedient."

"There is no way for two of us to escape together. Only if you run away, I will have no scruples. I will have a chance. And I cannot leave my body here, otherwise it will be destroyed."

"Don't worry, you know I have a trump card, I won't lie to you."

Bai Ruoyue clenched her fists and wanted to stay and fight with Zhou Qing, but reason told her that the method Zhou Qing mentioned was the only way to survive.

The one opposite her was a saintly cultivator, comparable to the Marrow Cleansing Stage. She was just a warrior comparable to the Bone Refining Stage, and she would not be able to help Zhou Qing if she stayed.

If she could run away, then Zhou Qing would have a chance.

On the contrary, if she insists on doing something like living together and dying together, then they would really be a pair of star-crossed lovers.

The main reason for letting Bai Ruoyue run first is because she can't fly. There is no point in letting her cover the rear.

Bai Ruoyue is not afraid of death. If there is no way to survive, she would rather die with Zhou Qing.

But there is still a chance now. The most important thing is that Zhou Qing's body cannot be left here and needs someone to protect it. He can't just leave his body in front of a cultivator in the Manifestation of Sainthood and ignore it.

Bai Ruoyue also shoulders a heavy responsibility.

All this seemed long, but with Zhou Qing's soul strength, only a few breaths of time passed.

Zhou Qing's soul left his body. Bai Ruoyue picked up his body without saying a word and started running wildly, using the acceleration talisman directly.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing was very relieved. Fortunately, the senior sister was not the stubborn heroine in the novels.

An Lang also appeared and helped Bai Ruoyue escape.

Although she can fly, if she flies with Bai Ruoyue and Zhou Qing's physical bodies, her speed will not be as fast as Bai Ruoyue's current speed.

After the power was strengthened under the lake in Sanyin Valley, An Lang's strength was greatly enhanced.

In the past, he was able to compete with the Night Wandering Monks to a certain extent, but now he can be said to be a strong man among the Night Wanderers, and his strength has almost improved to a whole level.

So at this moment, she played a very important role in assisting Bai Ruoyue to escape.

To use the scientific terms from Zhou Qing's previous life, An Lang used his strong mental power to clear the way for Bai Ruoyue, reducing the air resistance she faced when running at a high speed.

At the same time, Bai Ruoyue took out a snail and threw it at Lu Qingmo.

"What happened there?"

Lu Qingmo asked directly.

Long before this snail's talk, Lu Qingmo had actually already set off and left Heiyun Town.

Because as soon as she met the man in black, Bai Ruoyue asked Lu Qingmo for help by other means.

She always carries the help item given by Lu Qingmo with her. When encountering danger, she will activate it immediately and Lu Qingmo will be able to sense it.

"The monks in the Manifestation Realm want to kill us!"

Bai Ruoyue's voice was trembling a little, and upon closer inspection, her eyes were slightly red.

There was silence on the other side of the snail, and then a calm, soothing voice was heard.

"Run quickly, don't stay with Zhou Qing, leave the enemy to him, trust him!"

After saying that, Lu Qingmo immediately hung up the snail.

After putting away the snail, Bai Ruoyue continued walking and looked back at Zhou Qing with a determined look.

In order to protect her junior brother's body, she would not go against his wishes.

but……

Hate, hate, hate! "Your soul has actually cultivated to... the early stage of the Sun Travel Realm?"

The black-robed man was very surprised. "Your talent in the way of the soul is actually higher than your talent in martial arts?"

"Everyone guessed that you also cultivated the soul, but who would have thought that you had such an accomplishment that you could break through four realms in just a few months."

"It's incredible that a genius like you could be born in this world. I'm afraid the strong men in the fairyland were no more than this when they were young."

But he didn't even look at Bai Ruoyue who was running away.

In front of the Holy Manifestation, a warrior at the Organ Realm wanted to escape. It was just a joke and a pipe dream.

Considering the distance between here and Heiyun Town, it would take Lu Qingmo some time to arrive, which is enough time for him to kill Zhou Qing and the other two ten times.

"Although it's a pity, it's a pleasure to be able to kill a genius like you."

"Being able to kill a master in the Manifestation Realm would also make me feel happy."

Before Zhou Qing finished his words, he soared into the air and rushed towards the man in black robe with an unstoppable momentum, without any hesitation or fear.

"You have the courage."

The man in black robe looked at Zhou Qing who was approaching him, raised his hand and waved it, the sky turned upside down and the earth shook.

"boom!"

A snake of the earth formed by Taoist magic suddenly broke out of the ground, opened its bloody mouth, slammed towards Zhou Qing fiercely, and swallowed him in one gulp.

"Genius is also an ant."

The man in black robe jumped into the air, took a step, and walked a very long distance to chase Bai Ruoyue.

How can someone in the Riyou Realm withstand his attack?

No matter how outstanding a genius is, if he has not grown up, he is just a genius and cannot be considered a strong person.

After all, this world belongs to the strong!

But before the man in black robe took the second step, in an instant, a dragon's roar shook the sky, and the sky became dark. The sky was gloomy and dark clouds gathered overhead, as if the heavens were angry.

The saintly cultivator's face changed drastically.
