Qin Xiao sat on the sofa, and Liu Piaoxu, who had remained silent until now, asked with some confusion.
"Brother Qin Xiao, are you really going to help? It must be very dangerous, right?"
Qin Xiao nodded, "I'll definitely help, no, I should say I'm taking advantage of the situation, it's not like I didn't get paid."
As for the danger, there is indeed danger, after all, this involves internal strife within an established dynasty, and also the involvement of a cult.
After saying this, Qin Xiao looked at Liu Piaoxu's worried expression and smiled.
"But don't worry about the drifting catkins. Since I dared to go, I naturally made preparations. Ordinary rotten fish and shrimp are far from enough to kill me."
Liu Piaoxu knew there was no way to stop this, so she could only repeatedly remind Qin Xiao to be careful.
To distract her, Qin Xiao suggested taking her out shopping and getting something nice to eat.
Sure enough, Liu Piaoxu, a foodie at heart, quickly put aside all other thoughts upon hearing about food.
The two ate their way along Qingzhou's snack street and some famous restaurants. Qin Xiao wasn't usually that greedy.
But seeing Liu Piaoxu's satisfied expression, he couldn't help but feel a surge of appetite.
Sometimes, it's quite enjoyable to let go of everything and simply enjoy life in the moment.
Finally, the two, who were so full they could barely walk, parted ways in front of Liu Piaoxu's house.
Zhou You escorted him home before leisurely walking towards his villa.
As I was walking down the street, a man came towards me. He looked dazed and his face was gaunt, like a corpse that had been drained of blood.
Qin Xiao frowned slightly, a sense of unease creeping into his heart.
Soon, the man and Qin Xiao passed each other, then the man abruptly stopped.
"The world of Guixu is very complex. I advise you not to meddle in other people's business, or the outcome may not be pleasant."
Qin Xiao tilted his head and looked at him, "What did you say?"
The man didn't repeat himself, his expression still blank. "That's all I have to say. Young man, don't think you're invincible. There are still many things you haven't seen!"
Are you threatening me?
Qin Xiao asked again, but the other party continued to talk to himself, "A wrong choice requires someone to prove it with their life."
Speechless, Qin Xiao's first reaction was to raise his hand, revealing the recording function of the bracelet.
"Come on, keep talking, I'm recording you."
The gaunt man remained expressionless, but from this moment of silence, Qin Xiao could guess that the other party was probably also speechless at this move.
Qin Xiao looked at him leisurely, "A coward hiding his head and tail, are you from the Bingheng Divine Dynasty or a cult?"
He was inwardly grumbling, wondering what Mu Yueming was up to. There were too many shady dealings around him, and now people knew about it.
Moreover, whether it's the Ice Eternal Divine Dynasty or the heretical cult, the fact that they were able to explore the Blue Star Huawu Kingdom from the Ruins of Return shows that they have some real strength.
The other person didn't speak, just glanced at Qin Xiao silently, then turned to leave.
"Hey, hey, hey, isn't it impolite to just leave like this?"
Qin Xiao said with a smile, and a sword shadow appeared beside him.
The man stopped, a hint of sneer in his voice.
"I am only a wisp of my spirit here. What, you want to kill this body? It's alright, I have many more bodies like this."
Qin Xiao shook his head, "Who said I was going to deal with your body?"
He could naturally tell that the body was rather stiff and was probably not the other party's true form. It was also unlikely that the other party would be so foolish as to use their true form to meet him.
"Yun'er, use the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation to trap him first!"
Qin Xiao didn't care that this was the city center; he acted without hesitation, knowing that his move wouldn't hurt anyone else.
Although the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation is not a trapping formation, it has similar functions.
Once surrounded, there's no way to escape.
"Soul Slayer, try attacking his soul."
Qin Xiao gave the order again, and Yun Yun raised her slender hand. The man who was surrounded by the sword formation and had no intention of escaping was struck by the annihilating sword energy while stunned.
The power of the Soul-Slaying Technique directly attacked the opponent's mind, and the previously disdainful expression on his face was completely stunned.
Then came a continuous stream of screams, so heart-wrenching and utterly horrific.
"Master, the soul of this body has been obliterated; it's now just an empty shell!"
Yun Yun reported to Qin Xiao.
"It seems this body was specially made for the other party to descend. No wonder it's so thin. It's been dead and hasn't eaten or drunk anything, how could it not be thin?"
"Master, should we kill him?"
Qin Xiao thought for a moment, then shook his head. "I'll seal his soul and find out which bastard is trying to show off in front of me."
Yun Yun nodded, readily agreeing, and immediately used the Annihilation Sword Qi to form a cage, imprisoning the opponent's soul.
Qin Xiao took the body directly back to his villa.
As for their fight on the street, it didn't have a significant or serious impact. After revealing his identity, Qin Xiao didn't even go to the Night Watch's headquarters.
Back in the villa, Qin Xiao went straight to his bedroom and opened a portal.
This time, the portal opened directly to the Ruins of Return world, and Ye Qingya, carrying Xiao Yingyue inside, raised her head from the giant long table in the council hall.
"Huh, why are you back?"
As she spoke, Ye Qingya stood up, walked to Qin Xiao's side, and put her arm around his.
Qin Xiao shook his head. "Don't even mention it. That girl Mu Yueming has come knocking on my door. If I don't show my face, she'll be furious."
Qin Xiao recounted everything that had happened.
"Oh right, I'm going out to the Ruins of Return. I've asked Qinghuan to go back home to make arrangements. Also, the payment from Chairman Yue hasn't arrived yet."
Qin Xiao has already spoken with Chairman Yue, and the other party will contact Ye Qinghuan or Ye Qingya later.
The main idea is to contact whoever you can reach.
Ye Qingya immediately instructed Hai Miye, who was beside her, to go find Ye Qinghuan.
The two sat down in the chairs, and Qin Xiao took out the body shell from before. This thing wasn't considered a living being, so it could be put into his spatial ring.
"I'm leaving soon. I need to go and meet this guy. He's too arrogant. No one has ever been so arrogant in front of me before!"
Qin Xiao looked somewhat amused and exasperated; he really wasn't lying.
I've never encountered this situation since my debut. There have been a few times before, but those weren't high-level enough.
This was truly the first time he had ever been threatened and mocked so openly.
After hearing what had happened, Ye Qingya looked worried. "Since the other party had the audacity to say such things, how could they possibly have ulterior motives in Huawu Kingdom..."
Qin Xiao nodded, "I'll be careful. I suspect they're not simple people behind this, but I estimate they're probably from the Bingheng Divine Dynasty."
After all, the other side found out about Mu Yueming's arrival almost immediately, so the cult probably didn't have this information either. Moreover, the relationship between the Bingheng Divine Dynasty and me seems to be even more tense right now.
At this point, Qin Xiao chuckled, looking at the expressionless body.
"As the saying goes, if you throw a brick into a pigpen, the pig that squeals the loudest is probably the one that got hit."
I reckon once this guy gets to the Ice Eternity Divine Dynasty, it'll be easy to figure out; he's one of the biggest ones.
Moreover, he still possesses a portion of the soul, making it extremely easy for him to find the other party.
