Yan Xiu was lying on the ground, his face as pale as paper. He has no signs of life. He's obviously dead.
The strange thing was that Yan Xiu did not have any injuries on his body, as if he was asleep.
“I did not expect Captain Yan to die. Let's leave this city quickly.”
"Yes yes. Captain Yan was an Earth Stage cultivator. ”
"This city must be cursed."
"Hi, Captain Yan is a good person."
“…”
Everyone was discussing excitedly. They were afraid of the unknown, but they also felt sorry for Yan Xiu.
After all, as the captain of the Dark Moon City's enforcement team, Yan Xiu had once helped countless people. Who would have thought that he would die here for no reason? It was very difficult for them to accept his death.
“How can this happen?”
Su Yan closed his mouth in surprise.
Qin Jue did not speak. He directly handed Yun Xi to Su Yan, pushed everyone aside, and crouched down beside Yan Xiu.
At this moment, Yan Xiu seemed to be asleep, but he held onto a pot of spirit wine tightly and was unwilling to let go.
Qin Jue swept her eyes. This spirit wine pot was sixty years old and should have come from Yan Xiu's secret stash. Although it could not compare to the spirit wine of the Ancient Mystery Sect, Yan Xiu's willingness to take it out was enough to prove his character.
In a daze, Qin Jue seemed to hear Yan Xiu's frank voice. "Brother Qin, I'll bring you a nice bottle of wine tomorrow!"
Taking a deep breath, Qin Jue felt the blood on his chest surge. He reached out his hand to take the wine pot and whispered, "Old Yan, I'll take the wine."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Xiu miraculously released his grip.
Qin Jue opened the wine pot and immediately raised his head to drink it. He faintly said, "Since I drank your wine, then I have an obligation to avenge you."
With that said, Qin Jue stood up, emitting a powerful killing intent!
Blood is bloodied!
"Seniors…"
Su Yan opened his mouth but did not say anything in the end. He knew that Qin Jue was really angry.
"Move, move."
At this moment, several cultivators rushed over. When they saw Yan Xiu lying on the ground, their expressions changed drastically. "Captain!"
These cultivators seemed to be members of the law enforcement team. Seeing Yan Xiu die, they were instantly heartbroken. The two of them could not help but cry sadly.
“How can this happen?”
"Who did this?!"
"Captain Yan."
“…”
Watching this scene, Qin Jue said expressionlessly, "You all should be members of the law enforcement team, right?"
"Who are you?"
One of the cultivators frowned.
"He seems to be the young man who followed Captain Yan yesterday." Other cultivators recognized Qin Jue.
"What is your relationship with our captain?"
“I'm your captain's friend. I'll take the body now.” Qin Jue said slowly.
Everyone is very angry. "What do you mean?"
"Very simply, I'll reply to her."
Qin Jue did not continue to speak nonsense. A golden light instantly shot out from his fingertips and entered Yan Xiu's body. Then he seemed to sense something and looked into the distance.
"What did you do to Captain Yan ?!"
If not for Qin Jue's strange actions, everyone would have already fought him.
However, Qin Jue ignored them. With a wave of his hand, he swept over Yan Xiu's corpse and flew towards the distant City Lord's Residence.
"Stop!"
Just as everyone was about to catch up, they realized that they were unable to move, as if they were limited by something.
Su Yan sighed and said, "Don't worry, Senior will avenge Captain Yan."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yan followed behind and flew towards the City Lord's Residence with Qin Jue.
At the same time, inside the City Lord Residence.
"Young Master Ling, why are you attacking Yan Xiu!"
The middle-aged man stood across from the young man and asked.
"Lu City Lord, Lu Qinghou, have you forgotten our agreement?"
The young man's expression calmed down as he sneered, “Everyone in this city is food for our Spirit Clan. I can kill anyone I want! ”
“You're too overrated!”
Lu Qinghou roared furiously.
Yan Xiu was his most capable subordinate and had always been loyal to him. He never expected that the young man would kill Yan Xiu because of such a small matter yesterday.
"What's? City Lord Lu, do you want to die with him?”
The young man narrowed his eyes and said openly.
As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Qinghou felt his throat choking, and he instantly fell silent.
"Hmph, if not for our Spirit Clan helping you, you would have died three years ago."
Ling Langtian said coldly, “In 10 days, everyone in this city will die. During this time, I advise you not to have any other thoughts. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind sending you down first. ”
As the son of the Spirit Clan, Ling Langtian did have the confidence to do so. Perhaps he might not be considered a genius in the Spirit Clan, but in a small place like Dark Moon City, he was truly a peerless existence!
"I understand."
Lu Qinghou's expression changed indefinitely before he finally lowered his head.
Three years ago, his lifespan was almost depleted, and he was unable to break through to the Heaven Stage. Just as he was about to die, the Spirit Clan suddenly came to find him and used a secret technique to prolong his life. However, at that moment, his life had been paid for with the lives of everyone in Dark Moon City.
Lu Qinghou, who was on the verge of death, chose to agree without thinking about it and continued to live until now.
This was also why Qin Jue could sense the aura of the dead from him.
In other words, as long as the young man was willing, he could take Lu Qinghou's life at any time.
“If it wasn't for the fact that my soul ball took three years to awaken, I would have killed trash like you a long time ago.”
Poking his lips in disdain, Ling Langtian ordered condescendingly, “Find me ten women tonight. The more beautiful the better.”
"Yes." Yeah."
Lu Qinghou did not dare to refute and could only agree.
"No need to find a woman."
Qin Jue's cold voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Who is this?!"
Both surprised. They did not feel anyone approaching.
Bang out!
The wooden door shattered violently and turned into powder. A figure appeared outside the door.
“Very handsome!”
Upon seeing the person's appearance, they both thought at the same time, but they quickly reacted. Now is not the time to think about this.
"Who are you?!"
Ling Langtian's face was gloomy and cold. Even with the late-phase Heaven Stage cultivation, he actually paid no attention to the other party at all.
Qin Jue instantly ignored Ling Langtian and looked at Lu Qinghou. “Hehe, there is something wrong with you.”
Lu Qinghou's expression froze. He seemed to remember something and pointed towards Qin Jue. "You were yesterday ..."
At that moment, Qin Jue wasn't standing in front, so Lu Qinghou didn't really care, but Qin Jue was really too handsome, so Lu Qinghou had an impression of him.
"That's fine. I'm a friend of Yan Xiu.”
Qin Jue grinned and said coldly, "I'm here to avenge him."
Actually, Qin Jue and Yan Xiu had only known each other for less than a day. It would be difficult to call him his friend, but now, Qin Jue only had one thought in her mind, and that was to avenge Yan Xiu.
"Yan Xiu's Friend?"
Lu Qinghou was stunned. Although there were no fluctuations in spirit energy from Qin Jue's body at the moment, he still felt a strong sense of danger. Since when did Yan Xiu have such a friend?
"Have you heard what I just said?" Ling Langtian's face darkened.
“I'm the one who saved Yan Xiu's life. I'm just taking it back now. You better not interfere! ”
Although Yan Xiu was his most capable subordinate, what was his life compared to his own?
"Very good. Now you can also die.”
Qin Jue could not be bothered to waste her breath. He raised his hand and punched.
In an instant, the heaven and earth distorted!
Before the pitiful Lu Qinghou could react, he was drowned out by a huge fist wind. Even though he was already at the middle stage of Heaven Stage, he was instantly torn apart.
The terrifying fist wind did not stop there. It swept past like a wave. Everywhere he passed, buildings collapsed one after another, creating dust that filled the sky.
When the smoke and dust disappeared, with Qin Jue as the source, an arc-shaped sewer spread out in the form of a fan, piercing through the entire City Lord Residence.
As for Lu Qinghou, not even a remnant was left behind.
Until his death, Lu Qinghou had no idea what was going on.
"It's…"
Ling Langtian who was originally angry at being ignored was instantly dumbfounded, and he barely dared to believe his eyes.
Although he himself could also defeat Lu Qinghou, wasn't this result too exaggerated?
Instant kill with one punch?
“How can this be…? How could there be a Supreme Stage expert here? ”
Ling Langtian gulped and said in disbelief.
Only a Supreme Stage expert could achieve this!
And judging from the situation, the other party seemed to be younger than him.
"It's your turn now."
Qin Jue casually said as if she had just done something insignificant.
“A-what are you planning?!”
Ling Langtian was instantly frightened and retreated continuously, his eyes filled with fear.
"Older Qiong, Elder Qiong, save me!"
Before he finished speaking, a rosy old man suddenly appeared in the field. His expression was extremely solemn as he stared intently at Qin Jue.
The old man's aura was cold and unfathomable. He was a Supreme Stage expert.
"Are you planning to become enemies with our Spirit Clan?"
The old man said solemnly.
From the strength Qin Jue had displayed just now, the other party knew that he was at least a Supreme Stage expert. How could such an expert appear in a small place like Dark Moon City?
Ling Langtian immediately sighed in relief when he saw the old man appear, and he shouted. “Older Qiong, he knows the secret of our Spirit Clan. Kill her! Quickly quickly!"
"After hiding for so long, you finally want to get out."
Qin Jue did not seem to be surprised by the old man's sudden appearance and said indifferently.
He did not expect that in the end, he would still have to fight against one's senior after provoking a young master. However, he no longer cared about that. No matter how great this young man's background was, he would definitely not let him go.
"What's? You know I've been there all along?”
The old man was surprised. He had been hiding in the darkness to protect Ling Langtian. Even Supreme Stage experts would have a hard time finding him, but Qin Jue seemed to have known from the start that she was hiding nearby.
“Is that weird?”
Qin Jue replied with a question.
“I am Ling Qiong, and I am from the Spirit Clan, one of the Twelve Holy Clans. Your cultivation is incredible for your age, so why would you have to be an enemy with my Spirit Clan for an ant? In the end, you will die, and it will be too late to regret!”
The old man put his hands behind his back and tried to intimidate Qin Jue with the strength of their clan.
In the Sacred Land of the Middle Continent, the Twelve Sacred Clans were god-like existences. Even Saint Stage experts did not dare to provoke them, much less mere Supreme Stage experts.
In the old man's opinion, even if Qin Jue was a genius, he was at most at the Supreme Stage at his age.
After all, even the top geniuses of their Spirit Clans were only at the peak of the Supreme Stage. Could it be that Qin Jue is stronger than the leading figures of their Spirit Clan's younger generation?
Are you kidding me?
Unless it was the holy son of the Eight Great Holy Lands!
However, the old man had basically seen all the holy sons of the Eight Great Holy Lands. There is no one as handsome as Qin Jue!
“Hmph! You talk too much!"
Qin Jue was expressionless as she raised her hand and punched again.
He was here to avenge Yan Xiu, not to listen to his nonsense. Forget about the Spirit Clan, even if a Great Sage Stage cultivator were to come, he would still kill him without hesitation.
The explosion!
Another hole was made in the City Lord Residence, shaking heaven and earth.
Many people raised their eyes and looked up, revealing puzzled expressions, not understanding what was going on.
Just like Lu Qinghou, the elder's flesh, bones, and even Soul Essence had completely disappeared from this world. He's dead more than dead.
At the same time, Ling Langtian could not be described as being shocked anymore, and he was filled with fear!
Ling Qiong was a late-phase Supreme Stage expert, yet he was killed with a single punch!
Are you kidding me?
Could this young man be a Legendary Stage expert?
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!”
Ling Langtian's eyes were lifeless as he sat on the ground, his legs trembling continuously. He no longer had the tall and mighty appearance from before.
Although Qin Jue was dressed in white and very handsome, in Ling Langtian's eyes, he was no less than a demon from hell. “You, you can't kill me. I am a member of the Spirit Clan. If you kill me, the Spirit Clan will definitely not let you go!”
However, Qin Jue acted as if she did not hear Ling Langtian's words and slowly walked over, preparing to end this trash.
Just as Qin Jue's fist was about to land, Ling Langtian seemed to recall something and suddenly shouted, "Yan Xiu isn't dead yet!"
Hu!
A strong wind swept over, blowing until Ling Langtian's entire face trembled. He could barely open his eyes.
Qin Jue pulled his fist and looked at Ling Langtian. "Speak."
Seeing that he had avoided calamity, Ling Langtian gulped his saliva and said with fear, “I, I only used a soul ball to absorb his Soul Essence. If I can find him, I might be able to save him. ”
“Pearl Soul? What'sthat?"
Qin Ju frowned. He had heard this term before, but he did not know what it meant.
“It... It...”.
Ling Langtian's expression changed slightly. He seemed to have realized that he had accidentally let it slip and was a little unwilling to continue.
"If you don't want to tell me, I don't mind looking for your soul."
Qin Jue said coldly.
Ling Langtian couldn't help but shudder when he heard this, and he could only steel himself and say, “sphere souls are spirit artifacts refined by our Spirit Clan. They can be used to collect Soul Essence..”
Based on what Ling Langtian had just said, Qin Jue quickly understood what was going on. It turned out that the Soul Essence of the people who had died for no reason in the Dark Moon City had all been sucked up by the soul orbs. No wonder there were no wounds on their bodies.
As for the soul orbs, it was a Supreme Stage spirit artifact refined by the Spirit Clan. However, it had a three-year revival period. Before that, he had to be constantly fed with spirit energy.
When the Awakening Stage arrived, the power released by the soul orbs could instantly devour Soul Essence from hundreds of thousands of people!
The prerequisite was that these people should be below the Heaven Stage. This was also why the Spirit Clan chose Dark Moon City as their target.
The soul ball in Ling Langtian's hand was only 10 days away from the Awakening Stage. He was the one who controlled the soul orbs to absorb Yan Xiu's Soul Essence.
"Where is the soul ball?"
Qin Jue said expressionlessly.
"The soul orb is our Spirit Clan ..."
Bang out!
Ling Langtian suddenly flew backwards, smashing into over a dozen walls and spewing out a mouthful of blood. His aura fell in a straight line. Before he could look up, Qin Jue had already appeared in front of him.
"Last chance. Where's the soul ball?”
This time, Ling Langtian did not dare to speak anymore. He endured the intense pain and took out his soul ball from his storage ring.
These were crystal-like beads that emitted a dense death aura that caused one to shudder.
Qin Jue reached out her hand to take the soul ball and examine it with her spirit senses, but she was unable to find Yan Xiu's Soul Essence.
Seeing this, Ling Langtian hurriedly explained, The “Orb soul was only used to collect Soul Essence. After all Soul Essence entered the soul beads, they would be teleported to the Spirit Clan Soul Tower.”
The meaning of Ling Langtian was clear. If one wanted to find Yan Xiu's Soul Essence, they would have to enter the Spirit Clan.
“It looks like I have to travel to the Spirit Clan.”
Qin Jue pondered.
