Before a solitary grave, the Fifth Elder, Prince An, and An Shengyao, among others, returned.
“It seems the humans buried him on the spot, Holy Maiden…” King An looked at An Shengyao.
"Dig up the grave, I want to see the person alive or dead!" An Shengyao didn't hesitate at all.
The group dug open the grave but found no body, only a dozen or so black thorns inside.
Seeing this, An Shengyao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. For some reason, upon learning that Qiao Suinian was still alive, she felt a faint sense of joy. Shouldn't she be hoping that the liar would die soon?
An Shengyao was also somewhat confused about what was happening to her.
"Really? That kid took eighteen black thorns and he's still alive? Is that kid even human?"
Prince An's face was filled with disbelief. He had personally driven in the eighteen black thorns, and he knew very well that he had not held back at all. The fact that Qiao Suinian was still alive was completely beyond his expectations.
"Holy Maiden, what do we do now? Should we mobilize the forces of the Abyss Demon Clan to find that brat?" the Eighth Elder pressed.
“No need!” An Shengyao shook her head and looked up in the direction of Kyoto. “Just send someone to keep an eye on the Qiao family.”
The Eighth Elder's gaze sharpened, and he instantly understood An Shengyao's meaning: "The Holy Maiden is wise!"
Since Qiao Suinian wants Prince An to help him deal with the Qiao family, it means that as long as you keep an eye on the Qiao family, you will see Qiao Suinian sooner or later.
Once the strategy was determined, the next steps were simple: just keep an eye on the Qiao family. Prince An, carrying thorns on his back to apologize, decided to personally keep watch.
What they didn't know was that Qiao Suinian was right next to a stream not far from them.
In the lush countryside, a clear stream flows gently. Several middle-aged women from nearby villages are washing clothes by the stream and chatting about the day's events, lamenting the terror of the foreign tribes.
They didn't know the specifics of what happened; they only knew that the Four Symbols Legion had gathered and then the alien race had retreated. They assumed that the Four Symbols Legion had defeated the alien race.
Just as they were chatting animatedly, a figure stumbled over.
"Big sister, chatting?" Qiao Suinian showed a sunny and cheerful smile.
"Hey young man, what's wrong with you? Why are you so pale?" The older women weren't shy at all and even took the initiative to talk to Qiao Suinian.
"It's okay, I'm just playing Genshin Impact. You guys do your thing, I'm just here to wash up some things too," Qiao Suinian said with a hearty laugh.
The middle-aged women stared at Qiao Suinian with curiosity, seemingly very curious about this young man who had suddenly appeared. Then, all of them screamed in terror!
Some of them were so frightened that they threw off their clothes and ran away in a panic.
Because they saw that Qiao Suinian had actually cut open her own stomach and taken it out to wash it in water!
This terrifying scene naturally terrified them all!
"What's all the fuss about? Haven't you ever seen someone have their stomach pumped before?" Qiao Suinian muttered to herself.
His body had been pierced by Prince An with several large holes running through it, and he was buried in the ground, covered in mud. He definitely needed to be washed clean first.
After washing his stomach, Qiao Suinian then washed all his internal organs in the stream.
The lividity, which originally only existed on his back, gradually began to spread to his chest.
Qiao Suinian discovered that as the lividity spread, his vitality became stronger and stronger. Even if all his internal organs were taken out, it wouldn't matter, as long as they were put back in. It seemed that the Extreme Yang Corpse Heart was subtly transforming his body.
The current necromancer Qiao Suinian is more like a necromancer than a necromancer itself.
After cleaning the dirt off his internal organs, Qiao Suinian felt much better. While cleaning his internal organs, he also stitched up his wounds. It won't be long before these injuries heal.
"I'm finally dead. Things will be much easier now." Qiao Suinian stretched and took out a bronze mask, putting it on his face.
Without the ties of the Qiao family, his next goal became much clearer: to strengthen himself and the Dingtianque faction. He would definitely not let Qiao Luan get away with it.
Qiao Suinian saw it very clearly: neither joining the Abyss Demon Clan nor staying with the Qiao family was a good choice. The Qiao family, needless to say, were pure vampires.
As for the Abyss Demons, to put it bluntly, those who are not of our kind are bound to have different hearts. The Abyss Demons only valued his talent. Even if he were to actually join the Abyss Demons, he would have no chance of accessing any core knowledge. The Abyss Demons would almost certainly use him as a free henchman.
To give a simple example, you have a son, and then you adopt a godson. This godson's academic performance is much better than your biological son's. So what? Would you really value your godson more than your biological son just because of academic performance?
Therefore, Qiao Suinian never intended to join the Abyss Demon Clan from the beginning; he wanted to be his own master!
This Kyoto guy has the surname Qiao, but not the Qiao family's Qiao, it's Qiao Suinian's Qiao!
He will climb to the top step by step! He wants to be Kilgour!
By the time the group of women washing clothes returned to the stream with their group, Qiao Suinian had already vanished without a trace.
They desperately tried to explain that they had seen a strange person who took out his stomach and washed it, but their explanations only drew ridicule from the rest of the village.
After all, how could a normal person possibly take out their own stomach and wash it? That would be pure suicide, wouldn't it?
