30: Chapter 30 Locking the Witch in the Dark Room

"What is this! Ye Qing, what is this! This round, lumpy thing..."

"This guy, he couldn't have killed another Rank 5 Demon Spirit Guard, could he!"

"Bringing so many heads over in the middle of the night, isn't this like a horror movie?"

In an instant, the captain's drowsiness vanished.

He looked at Ye Qing, "Ye Qing, what is this..."

Before he could finish, Ye Qing opened the cloth bag and proceeded to place the heads inside one by one onto the counter.

This! Boom! In an instant!

As the captain looked at the faces of these people, it was as if a thunderclap had exploded in his mind! It left him completely bewildered!

His eyes widened sharply; he simply couldn't believe what he was seeing!

"What the hell! This is! Wang Sheng! A Rank 7 Spirit Master!"

"And more! The others are either Rank 6 or Rank 7, or their contracted spirits! All lined up! It's just too terrifying!"

The captain's mouth twitched.

"This guy, is he trying to wipe out the Demon Spirit Guard? However, the Demon Spirit Guard Headquarters is elusive, and I heard their Demon Lord has a Realm above Grandmaster. This guy probably can't stir up trouble there yet."

"Otherwise, I have a feeling that with this kid's temperament, he might just charge straight to the Demon Spirit Guard Headquarters."

The captain thought to himself, his heart pounding.

After Ye Qing finished placing them, he wrapped up the cloth bag and tossed it aside.

"Captain, how is it? Can I claim the bounty?"

"Yes, I'll go register it for you, then you can claim the bounty."

The captain said, and after a while, once registered, Ye Qing took several Rank 7 exotic beast crystal cores, along with other lower-Rank crystal cores, and without lingering, headed straight for Jinling University.

After Ye Qing left, the captain watched him go, then thought for a moment and hurried towards Grandmaster Li's home.

A while later, at the entrance of Grandmaster Li's home, the captain looked at the massive gate. It was truly worthy of being a Grandmaster's home; it was like an estate.

However, compared to the entire Li family's influence and their ancestral home, this place was small in comparison.

You have to know, the old man of the Li family is one of the High-ranking Officials of the Jinling Military Department. The other members of the Li family are no ordinary characters either.

Not wanting to dwell on it, the captain immediately knocked on the door. Knock, knock, knock! The captain knocked quite loudly.

"Ugh..." Inside the room, Li Ziqin let out a soft moan from being disturbed in her sleep, then hugged the large bear beside her, her long legs clamping around the plush toy. She turned over and faced the other way.

Knock, knock, knock! Knock, knock, knock! Li Ziqin didn't expect the knocking to be continuous, so she got up, her face full of irritation. She then knocked on the wall next to her! Thud! "Li Mubai, are you dead asleep! Go down and open the door!"

Sigh! Originally, the knocking had already left Li Mubai drowsy, but with Li Ziqin's shout, Li Mubai immediately opened his eyes and performed a carp jump to get out of bed. Then he let out a long sigh! Better open the door, better open the door, otherwise, if Older Sister comes charging over, it won't be fun.

After opening the door, Li Mubai looked at the captain. "Uncle Liu, why are you here in the middle of the night?" "I have something to report to Grandmaster Li." "Please, come in, come in." Li Mubai invited him in.

Meanwhile, Li Ziqin heard the noise downstairs and pulled the plush bear into her arms. She continued to clamp her legs around it, but this time, the clamping was filled with anger. Looking at it, she almost snapped the plush bear's waist in two. If she were to clamp a person like that, one dare not imagine...

"Why are you here so late?" Li Xiao tidied himself up and looked at the captain.

"Grandmaster Li, I apologize for disturbing you so late, but there is indeed something I need to report." Grandmaster Li waved his hand, indicating it was no bother. Then, he looked at Li Mubai. Li Mubai curled his lip and sensibly left.

"Grandmaster Li, please take a look at this list." As he spoke, the captain handed the list over. This...

"Aren't these Demon Spirit Guard? Have these bugs been causing trouble again?" Li Xiao's face was cold and stern.

"No, they were killed! Killed by Ye Qing! Just now, Ye Qing came to our military department to claim the bounty! These people were all beheaded by him to claim the bounty!"

What! Li Xiao's sleepiness vanished completely! This guy Ye Qing! He's too terrifying! Killing so many Rank 7 Spirit Masters and weapon spirits! Could this guy be Rank 7, or Rank 8?!

No! Then, Li Xiao shook his head. His contracted spirit is unusual after Ancestral Return, and it might be able to fight above its Rank! However, it can be seen that Ye Qing's overall strength, combined with his contracted spirit, should be at Rank 7! Although, a lot of this is likely due to that sharp sword.

"It seems I need to update the information collected on everyone tomorrow." Li Xiao thought that he could update the information on the students entering the Purgatory Training Camp tomorrow to prepare for the upcoming training camp.

"Looking at it, it seems Ye Qing didn't actively hunt these Demon Spirit Guard; rather, the Demon Spirit Guard wanted to hunt Ye Qing. They suffered a loss last time, having a few Rank 5 members killed by Ye Qing. This time, they sent Rank 7s, thinking they had Ye Qing in the bag, but didn't expect this outcome. These guys might become even more frantic later on."

"They might send Rank 8, Rank 9? Or even those at a Realm beyond! If you see Ye Qing, remember to remind him to be careful."

"Very well, Grandmaster Li, I will head back now." The captain left.

Meanwhile, Li Xiao sat there looking at the list, lost in thought. This little guy had certainly given him quite a few surprises.

He originally thought that even if he gave Ye Qing an admission ticket to the Purgatory Training Camp, he would just be a bottom-tier existence in the Purgatory Training Camp. But now, it seems that at the very least, he has some strength. Although Rank 7 is only middle-tier, or perhaps middle-lower-tier in the Purgatory Training Camp, it is still much stronger than being at the bottom.

"A trash contracted spirit becoming strong through Ancestral Return, decisive in killing—he's good material." Li Xiao nodded. Then he recalled the matter of him saving Li Mubai and added, "He's also loyal and righteous, with a sense of justice in his heart!"

Meanwhile, Ye Qing hummed a little tune as he brought Zhou Lingxue and Yin Luoqing back to the villa. Ye Qing also locked Yin Luoqing in the dark room.
