573 Those Who Call Themselves Kid, Die! (1)

Xu Qing was a little unhappy.

The candied fruit was very delicious. The similar taste evoked some of his memories of Peerless City. Hence, he didn’t eat very quickly on the way and chewed and swallowed every mouthful slowly.

However, the poisonous wind spoiled the candied fruit.

After killing the man, Xu Qing coldly looked at Qing Qiu who was walking over. Although he didn’t have a good impression of this woman, she was still on a mission after all. Hence, he spoke coldly.

“I won’t snatch your military contributions.”

As he spoke, Xu Qing turned and left. Qing Qiu’s voice also rang out coldly.

“Who cares about these military contributions!”

As her voice echoed, Qing Qiu walked over. She didn’t bother with Xu Qing who had left and arrived in front of the black-clothed man in a few steps.

The first thing she did was not take out his storage bag but step on the corpse’s head.

The bamboo stick only penetrated the head, but under Qing Qiu’s stomp, the head shattered into pieces.

Even Xu Qing, who had walked far away, heard the loud sound. He turned his head and took a look.

Qing Qiu, who was standing beside the corpse, didn’t seem to be appeased. She continued to stomp on the corpse, crushing it completely.

Xu Qing was a little surprised by this savage scene. He guessed that this person must have offended Qing Qiu deeply. He retracted his gaze and left the county capital, heading straight for the Sword Pavilion.

From the start to the end, Qing Qiu didn’t even glance at Xu Qing. After crushing the black-clothed man’s corpse, she picked up the storage bag from the mangled corpse and stared at the meat paste on the ground with disgust in her eyes.

“Are you worthy of calling yourself Kid? How dare you taint this word?!” Qing Qiu snorted coldly.

This wanted criminal wasn’t originally her mission target. However, ever since she saw that the other party’s nickname was Kid on the wanted list, she had her eyes on him and wanted to kill him.

In Qing Qiu’s heart, the term ‘Kid’ was extremely sacred and represented beauty. Hence, she wouldn’t allow anyone to taint it.

“That’s right, that’s right. Kill him, perish together with him!” The evil ghost only dared to speak after Xu Qing’s figure was completely gone. It hooted in Qing Qiu’s mind.

“Alright, have you investigated the matter I asked you to do?!” Qing Qiu said coldly in her mind.

“I’ve checked. Four months later, there’s a high chance that the convoy from the Holy Wave Race who will come to buy mica stones will pass by the Heavenly Moon Canyon and return to their race from there. However, that location isn’t very suitable for ambushing and robbery. Are you sure you want to do this?”

The evil ghost quickly spoke.

Qing Qiu didn’t speak. Under the moonlight, she turned and walked into the distance.

“If you really want to do this, I think we have to be prepared to perish with them. Although I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time, I think you still need to consider it more.”

The evil ghost was a little hesitant.

“I need enough military contributions to reduce my time in office. I have to snatch their goods and exchange them for military contributions!” Qing Qiu calmly transmitted her thoughts.

“Is it worth it? There are still three years. It’s only been half a year now.” The evil ghost sighed. It wanted to perish with the enemy but it didn’t want to die with some ordinary people.

“Actually, the most suitable target to perish with is Mad Dog…”

Qing Qiu automatically ignored some of the evil ghost’s words and spoke calmly.

“I can’t wait for three years. I want to go to the Nanhuang Continent in a year.”

“Have you given it some thought? Three years have already passed, so what harm could another three years do?” The evil ghost persisted in its persuasion, refusing to give up.

“No way!”

“Recently, I’ve been feeling quite restless. I have this constant feeling that my Brother Kid is facing a life-and-death crisis in the Nanhuang Continent. I can’t just sit around.”

“I now have the ability to protect him. I want to find him. I owe him my life!”

Qing Qiu, who was walking in the darkness, touched the small stone in her arms. Her eyes revealed determination as she walked further and further away.

At that moment, Xu Qing had already returned to the Sword Pavilion.

After he sat down, he took out the Deputy Governor’s jade slip and studied it carefully.

Time flowed by. When the sky was about to turn bright, Xu Qing lifted his head and a look of contemplation appeared in his eyes.

“Immortal puppets have to be refined from the living beings and they have to be willing…”

He had already read the contents of this jade slip many times and studied it carefully. He now had a better understanding of the immortal puppet creation of the Quasi-Immortal Race.

However, this was a top secret of the Quasi-Immortal Race after all, so it was impossible for the Deputy Governor to reach its true core.

However, the content recorded in the jade slip was enough for Xu Qing.

“Regardless of whether it’s the secret technique, the transformation method, or the Nine Refinements of the Quasi-Immortal mentioned in it, these are actually not important… What’s important is how the Quasi-Immortal Race chose their clansmen as materials.”

Xu Qing narrowed his eyes as the memories of those Quasi-Immortal Race members in the prison world appeared in his mind.

“Is it possible that the agreement between the three races for the prisoners to be sent back after ten years has other motives and meanings for the Quasi-Immortal Race? For example…”

“Refine the criminals who returned into immortal puppets?”

“Normally speaking, if a criminal experiences many deaths in the prison world, they will lose all their memories. This way, to a certain extent, they will satisfy the conditions of being willing.”

A sharp glint flashed in Xu Qing’s eyes. He thought of what Senior Ghost Hand had said about the County Governor’s orders 300 years ago.

“In order not to affect the friendship with the Quasi-Immortal Race, the County Governor ordered not to erase the memories of the prisoners of the Quasi-Immortal Race? This matter…”

Xu Qing fell into deep thought. This matter seemed to be because the County Governor was kind, but according to the information Xu Qing had now, it was obvious that the County Governor knew the process of making the immortal puppet and that was why he gave this order.
