92: Boss, Xiao Yan wants to harm you, run away
Seeing this, Qin Xuan’s eyes instantly turned bloodshot.
It turned out someone wanted to frame his boss.
This was truly unbearable.
“Dare to frame my boss? You have a death wish.”
Qin Xuan thought, and 15 undead creatures instantly appeared behind him.
At the same time, he immediately roared, “Stop!”
This sudden roar startled Xiao Yan and the girl.
Especially Xiao Yan, whose appearance had just reverted to his own.
If this matter were exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
A monstrous glint of ferocity flashed in his eyes; he was determined to kill them to silence them and eradicate the problem.
The Wolf Tooth Hammer crashed down.
Unexpectedly, a bone arrow shot out and directly struck the Wolf Tooth Hammer.
Boom…
A tremendous force was transmitted, and the Wolf Tooth Hammer instantly lost balance, yet it still grazed the girl’s right cheek.
Bang…
The girl’s HP bar instantly became a mere sliver, and she completely fainted.
Xiao Yan’s pupils suddenly constricted; with just one arrow, he understood that this slender youth’s combat power was definitely not inferior to his own.
His expression changed slightly, and without hesitation, he took out the Forbidden Spell Scroll.
Only by killing these two people could he successfully escape.
A hint of madness lit up in his eyes.
“Fire-type Forbidden Spell, Meteor Fire Rain!”
Xiao Yan roared, and a dazzling golden light shone from the Forbidden Spell Scroll.
A large red cloud quickly appeared in the sky, covering an area of over ten kilometers.
“You should rest in peace, dying under a Forbidden Spell!”
Xiao Yan roared and turned to flee into the distance.
Under a Forbidden Spell, all are ants.
He had no doubt that Qin Xuan and the girl would survive.
Pfft…
-16834
The grimace on Xiao Yan’s face instantly froze; his HP bar had dropped by more than half.
He looked back and saw a bone arrow, emitting black mist, stuck in his buttock.
Xiao Yan endured the pain, pulled out the bone arrow, and continued to flee into the distance, quickly disappearing without a trace.
Meanwhile, Qin Xuan’s expression was incredibly solemn; he also knew that a massive conspiracy had already enveloped Lin Ling.
He and this girl must survive; only they could help Lin Ling clear his name.
Qin Xuan took out a bottle of instant recovery potion, forcefully fed it to the girl, and her HP bar recovered somewhat, but there was still no sign of her waking up.
He picked up the girl from the ground and quickly fled towards the city.
At this moment, huge fire meteors had already begun to fall from the sky.
The Goblin Forest within a ten-kilometer radius instantly turned into a living hell.
Countless leveling teams perished in this catastrophe.
…
War God Hall, Kyoto.
“It’s finally here!”
Lin Ling looked at the system prompt that appeared before him, feeling completely exhilarated.
He turned and walked out of the trial tower, only to see Jiang Shan Yi looking gloomy, as if something had made him extremely angry.
It wasn’t until he saw Lin Ling emerge that Old Jiang’s expression softened slightly.
A hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and he looked as if he wanted to speak but couldn’t.
Lin Ling assumed Jiang Shan Yi was concerned about the trial tower and sincerely thanked him, “Old Jiang, thank you. When I have enough points in the future, I will definitely come back to challenge the trial tower.”
If he still didn’t understand Jiang Shan Yi’s painstaking efforts at this point, it would truly be a huge joke.
It was clear that whether the guard’s waist token was real or fake was hard to tell, but Jiang Shan Yi’s painstaking effort to cultivate Lin Ling was absolutely genuine.
The worry on Jiang Shan Yi’s face gradually disappeared, and he nodded with satisfaction, forcing a faint smile, “It seems you understand my intentions. At least my efforts weren’t in vain.
You don’t need to worry about the rumors about you; the War God Hall will help you settle everything.”
Lin Ling immediately understood that Jiang Shan Yi was most likely referring to the clamor for him to hand over the sacred set.
He had already muted the public chat area that morning, so he hadn’t taken these matters to heart at all.
“Old Jiang, I’ll handle these matters myself. If I need the War God Hall to step in for such trivial matters, I’d be too useless,” Lin Ling said with a smile.
Jiang Shan Yi looked at Lin Ling, still a bit worried, “Are you sure you can handle it?”
“Piece of cake.”
Lin Ling clasped his hands behind his head, his face relaxed.
“Alright, if you really can’t solve it, call me. You’ve seen the system announcement, right? Hurry back. Such regional hidden quests are rare; if you’re lucky, you can directly level up by 5, and even just joining the fun can get you 3 levels,” Jiang Shan Yi said.
A hint of doubt flashed in Lin Ling’s eyes, then he instantly realized.
“Are you talking about the Demon King quest?” Lin Ling asked.
This made a hint of confusion flash in Jiang Shan Yi’s eyes, “Demon King quest? Didn’t you receive a notification in the trial tower? Let me share it with you.”
As he spoke, he immediately shared the system quest with Lin Ling.
Regional Hidden Quest Bounty Order
The son of General Zheng, a human traitor, has fornicated with a demon, giving birth to a demoness who is harming humanity. It has been confirmed that the demoness is hiding near the Black Mountain Bottom Reservoir in Xuanfu Base City, hence this bounty order is issued.
All Professionals below Five-turn can proceed to Xuanfu Base City; upon entering the Xuanfu Base City area, they will automatically accept the quest and become warriors.
Participants who search for and kill the traitor’s remnant will gain +3 levels, and those who successfully kill the traitor’s remnant will gain +5 levels.
In 30 minutes, Xuanfu Base City will be temporarily sealed off; no one will be able to enter Xuanfu by any means.
Sealing countdown: 27 minutes 14 seconds…
Lin Ling’s mouth twitched as he looked at the quest description on the system panel.
He had originally thought it was just a quest within the Xuanfu Base City area, but he never expected it to be a nationwide quest; anyone who could get there could participate.
How many warriors would he have to fight then?
This was too difficult, wasn’t it?
This was forcing him to use big moves, the kind where one wasn’t enough.
“Old Jiang, I’ll thank you later, I’m leaving now.” Lin Ling said.
“Remember, don’t ever mention that I brought you into the trial tower,” Jiang Shan Yi instructed.
“Don’t worry, Old Jiang.”
Lin Ling said, then quickly rushed towards the helipad.
As the phantom fighter ascended, Lin Ling began to ponder his next plan.
First, he hoped that those close to him could benefit from this Demon King quest.
This meant he needed to notify them in advance not to rush too far forward.
That way, he could avoid accidental injuries when he used his Forbidden Spell to clear people out.
“I should contact them first.”
Lin Ling took out his phone and found that it had automatically turned off at some point.
He charged his phone on the phantom fighter, and as the boot screen ended, a large number of messages popped up.
The most numerous were naturally from Ji Mo; Lin Ling looked at the 99+ Feixin messages, and a sense of resistance arose from the bottom of his heart.
“This chatterbox…”
He subconsciously clicked on his contacts, intending to find Zhou Mengyan’s phone number, but instead saw that a number named Li Shihan had called him more than a dozen times.
“Li Shihan? Why would she call me? Could it be a new discovery in specialized weapon forging?”
A hint of doubt flashed in Lin Ling’s eyes, but he still called back.
The call was quickly connected.
However, what Lin Ling didn’t expect was to hear a man’s voice from the phone.
“Boss, I’m Qin Xuan, listen to me, Xiao Yan of the Xiao Corporation is killing people in the Goblin Forest of Autumn Wild Blue Cloth City disguised as you, he wants to harm you, run fast…”
