Night. Outside King Qi’s residence.
Guard Qiu carefully observed the area with some men. “Sir, the fight has begun.”
“What a huge commotion!”
“Mr. Jing’s sect is attacking King Qi’s residence head-on?” The observers from the Fei family murmured to themselves.
The battle could be heard from outside King Qi’s residence; it attracted the attention of many.
After waiting for a long time.
“King Qi’s residence is on fire!”
“There’s a fire.” Several spots in King Qi’s went up in flames. The fire worsened, leaving those who watched from afar dumbfounded. Many places in the residence were on fire, which meant that it had completely gone out of control!
Guard Qiu and his subordinates looked at each other.
“Brother Jing’s sect is so strong!” Guard Qiu sighed.
“There are more than a thousand qualified experts and super experts in King Qi’s residence, but they can’t control the situation.” The others were amazed.
Whoosh.
Suddenly, a blurry figure approached from afar.
Guard Qiu and the others hiding in the corner were alarmed!
“Brother Qiu.” A familiar voice sounded, and Guard Qiu and the others saw that the people in front of them were Xu Jingming—who had taken off his mask—and Fei Xinlan, who he was holding with one hand.
“Miss.” Guard Qiu was delighted, but he immediately asked worriedly, “What’s wrong?”
His young lady was Dean Ming’s disciple, and she had reached third-rate. Why did she need someone to carry her?
“King Qi gave me weakening poison,” Fei Xinlan replied. “My body is weak, so I can’t walk quickly!”
King Qi wanted to control Fei Xinlan better and make it harder for her to commit suicide.
“Weakening poison?” Guard Qiu heaved a sigh of relief.
Even without taking any antidote, her body would recover from such weakening poisons in a month.
“Take Miss Fei back. I still have things to do,” Xu Jingming said. He had already discovered Guard Qiu and the others while waiting outside King Qi’s residence.
“Leave Miss to me. Brother Jing, be careful.” Guard Qiu could tell that Xu Jingming’s pale face meant that his injuries weren’t light.
Xu Jingming nodded slightly, turned around, and disappeared into the darkness.
Guard Qiu and the others sighed when they saw this. “He didn’t hesitate to repay a favor at the risk of his life.”
“How chivalrous.”
As they sighed, Fei Xinlan’s emotions surged. She even wondered if Brother Jing loved her. Was that why he worked so hard? However, she didn’t sense any love in Brother Jing’s eyes or words when they were in physical contact.
“Miss, let’s go.” Guard Qiu and the others protected Fei Xinlan and immediately left carefully.
…
In the capital.
An old man walking unsteadily on the street with a wine gourd had a consciousness descend on him suddenly. The old man’s eyes were much deeper as he looked up at King Qi’s residence.
Taking 35,000 gold in one go? The old man shook his head slightly. Moreover, he used a forbidden technique from a Paramount legacy! Is he some child from a large family clan in the universe, or is he an external member of the 17 top factions?
Very few people could learn Paramount legacies to begin with. Although the confidentiality was partially lower for planetary lifeforms, they had to have a sufficient background. For example, their parents were among the upper echelons of the 17 top factions. They had to pay a certain price to let their children build a ‘foundation’ using a Paramount legacy.
He has accumulated more than 50,000 gold in Blood Rain World! Logically speaking, I have to punish him severely! However, being able to use a forbidden technique might mean he’s related to me in reality, the old man thought. After all, as a Lv. 9 Origin lifeform, a junior who could use a forbidden technique… might be related to him.
For example, this junior’s parents could be among the upper echelons of the 17 top factions?
For example, this junior was an external member of the 17 top factions. Perhaps he would be an Origin lifeform in the future?
Whoosh.
The old man took a step, and his figure turned into a blur and disappeared.
…
Xu Jingming carried his bundle and walked in the snowy night. Suddenly, an elder carrying a wine gourd appeared in front of him.
Huh? Xu Jingming vaguely felt a huge crisis.
A terrifying aura enveloped him, and Xu Jingming’s consciousness instinctively trembled in fear.
How strong. This invisible mental pressure isn’t at Lv. 8. Xu Jingming immediately determined: This is an Origin lifeform.
This gave him a headache. Blood Rain World’s targeting? There was so much gold in King Qi’s residence, and I only took 35,000 gold, but I’ve attracted such targeting?
“Which family are you from? Why are you so insensible?” The elder holding the wine gourd shook his head. “Do you think it’s that easy to earn gold in Blood Rain World? Once you accumulate more than 50,000 gold, you will be punished! If you accumulate more than 100,000 gold, you can completely give up on Blood Rain World because you will find it impossible to do anything.”
Xu Jingming was stunned.
The other party was that easy to talk to?
“Thank you, Senior,” Xu Jingming said. “I don’t know much about Blood Rain World.”
“Don’t be too greedy in Blood Rain World. It’s best if you stop when you reach 90,000 gold. If it were anyone else, they might’ve killed you with a single slap today. Blame it on my good temper?” As the elder with the wine gourd spoke, a terrifying psychic force surged over.
Rumble!
How did it feel to have the psychic force of a Lv. 9 Origin lifeform target only one person? It was as if the entire world was pressing down on him!
Xu Jingming felt his mind and consciousness go completely blank, and he momentarily lost control of his body.
Bang!
A gourd smashed into his chest, causing it to cave in. Several ribs cracked, and under the impact, his body flew back uncontrollably.
He fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood. Only then did Xu Jingming regain control of his body.
