31: Chapter 31 The timing is wrong!

"Who is it?"

The young man roared, "What kind of petty thief dares to come to my Beigui Hall and run wild?"

A masked man in tight black clothing, holding a sheathed straight blade, looked at the crowd at Beigui Hall with great interest.

"Blade… Blade King?!"

"He is the Blade King, one of the Four Kings!"

"It's over, the Four Kings Pavilion has come to collect a debt."

The young man sneered, "Pah! If your Four Kings Pavilion had mobilized its entire nest, our Beigui Hall might fear you a little, but just you alone? Are you here to seek death?"

The Hall Master rebuked the young man, "Xiaosong! Shut up."

Xiaosong said indignantly, "Father! He…"

"I told you to shut up!"

Xiaosong turned his head and glared angrily at Xiao Heizi.

Xiao Heizi couldn't help but laugh.

The Hall Master stood up and said, "I wonder what brings the Blade King to my humble abode?"

Suddenly, a cold light flashed before everyone's eyes.

By the time everyone came to their senses, they only saw a large head lying on the ground.

"Father!!!"

Xiaosong lunged forward, hugged the Hall Master's head, and burst into tears.

His eyes were bloodshot as he stared fixedly at Xiao Heizi.

Xiaosong immediately roared at the crowd, who had complex expressions, "My father has been killed by him, why aren't you attacking yet!"

Zhang Dezheng, standing to the side, said coldly, "Because even if they all attacked together, they couldn't withstand a single strike from the Blade King."

Xiaosong's expression froze, and he shook his head, "Impossible, no matter how strong he is, he is only one person, how could…"

Xiao Heizi stretched, then his figure flashed.

A flurry of blade shadows swept across the entire venue, followed immediately by screams.

Very few people remained standing.

Xiaosong's expression froze, and he stared blankly at Xiao Heizi.

Xiao Heizi turned and left, waving his hand.

Zhang Dezheng immediately ordered the remaining people, "Immediately take all the Soul Reagents from Beigui Hall and follow me to the West District to plead guilty to Emperor Qin."

When Zhang Dezheng passed by Xiaosong, he whispered, "Beigui Hall was killed entirely because of you alone."

Xiaosong's pupils constricted violently, and he looked at Zhang Dezheng in a daze.

Subsequently, Zhang Dezheng's eyes flashed.

【Cold Burn】

Blue flames ignited on Xiaosong's chest.

The flames spread rapidly from his chest to his entire body.

Xiaosong's face twitched, but he remained motionless, like a statue.

His eyes gazed blankly at the moon that had just risen.

Zhang Dezheng sighed and muttered, "Sometimes, the cost of growth is far more severe than you imagine."

...

West District.

Four Kings Pavilion.

"Emperor Qin, most organizations are unwilling to hand over the Soul Reagents, so I have already sent people to liquidate them."

Qin Xiaogan lay lazily on the chair, "Divide the Soul Reagents that were sent among yourselves, and reach the peak of A-rank as soon as possible."

Currently, using Soul Reagents has no effect on Qin Xiaogan.

It seems that reaching S-rank is not that simple.

Wang Yi said respectfully, "Yes!"

Qin Xiaogan closed his eyes slightly and asked the system in his mind.

"System, how do I promote to S-rank?"

【Death count reaches 200】

Qin Xiaogan touched the tip of his nose.

Just five more times. At that time, not only will I be able to promote to S-rank, but I will also be able to unlock the third ability of the crown of death.

Qin Xiaogan couldn't help but feel great.

Immediately after, he noticed Wang Yi hesitating on the side.

Qin Xiaogan looked up and said, "What is it?"

Wang Yi gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, "Emperor Qin, the most powerful Awakened organization in the East District is willing to collectively merge into the Four Kings Pavilion."

Qin Xiaogan said playfully, "Oh? What are the conditions?"

Wang Yi said with a strange expression, "There is only one condition: they are willing to honor you as Emperor and be your slaves for eternity."

Qin Xiaogan twitched the corner of his mouth.

"What kind of cult is their organization?"

Wang Yi said in surprise, "Emperor Qin, how did you know they were a cult?"

Qin Xiaogan replied, "If it wasn't a cult, their brains wouldn't be so atrophied."

"…"

Wang Yi continued, "The Fengdi Cult: one A-rank powerhouse, three B-rank powerhouses."

"There are about 80 other powerhouses of various ranks in total."

Qin Xiaogan raised an eyebrow, "I didn't expect this Fengdi Cult to quietly possess the combat power of an entire team from the Investigation Bureau."

"In the future, you don't need to tell me about such things; handle it yourself."

Qin Xiaogan took out the hell kitchen knife, preparing to summon Qiu Sanye.

Wang Yi nodded, and just as she was about to leave.

Qin Xiaogan suddenly called her back, "By the way, in a few days, cut off my hands and feet and hang them outside, then let the Investigation Bureau come to collect them."

Wang Yi looked at Qin Xiaogan with a confused expression.

"Hmm?"

Wang Yi quickly agreed, "Yes! Emperor Qin."

After speaking, she hurriedly ran out.

She couldn't keep up with Emperor Qin's train of thought at all!

One moment he was smiling, the next moment he was cursing.

He was perfectly normal just a moment ago, and suddenly he wanted someone to cut off his hands and feet; is that something a normal person would say?

After Wang Yi went out.

A blue light flashed on the handle of the hell kitchen knife.

A partial figure slowly emerged, then gradually solidified.

Qiu Sanye cupped his hands and said respectfully, "Master."

Qin Xiaogan looked at Qiu Sanye for a moment, "Your soul is incomplete, and your strength has greatly diminished; at most, you have just entered S-rank."

Qiu Sanye said respectfully, "Master, as long as you let me absorb the soul of an S-rank powerhouse."

"Or the souls of five A-rank Awakened, I will be able to recover."

Qin Xiaogan nodded and asked, "Let's not talk about that for now; who is the person behind you?"

Qin Xiaogan's sharp gaze stared fixedly at Qiu Sanye.

Qiu Sanye couldn't help but wipe the non-existent sweat from his forehead, "Master, the person behind me is the Marquis of Huainan."

As expected.

Qin Xiaogan's fingers tapped involuntarily on the blade.

"Dong!"

"Dong!"

Hearing this sound, Qiu Sanye couldn't help but feel his back go cold.

"Did Marquis Wuan participate?"

Qiu Sanye replied, "He likely didn't; he even helped the Qin Family back then."

"However, I feel that a King has entered the game."

Qin Xiaogan's eyes flashed with crimson light, "Who?"

Qiu Sanye paused, then said word by word, "King Yongye — Ouyang Buming!"

Qin Xiaogan narrowed his eyes.

He pondered for a moment and continued to ask, "Why didn't you tell the Time King back then that you were injured by me?"

Qiu Sanye replied, "The Time King also participated in the incident that toppled the Emperor back then, but he was a helper of the Qin Family."

Qin Xiaogan frowned deeply.

He pinched the bridge of his nose and pondered for a long time, "That's not right. Kings against Kings, Marquises against Marquises. Moreover, my father was top-tier among the Marquises."

"If the Time King truly offered help in a time of need back then, then why was my Qin Family destroyed?!"

Qiu Sanye shrank his head in trepidation, his face full of panic and unease, and said with a trembling voice, "Master, this old servant truly does not know the reason behind it."

Qin Xiaogan paced slowly on the floor carefully built from pear wood.

"What is not right?"

"Where is it…"

Qiu Sanye lowered his head in fear, not daring to even breathe loudly.

"Time King…" Qin Xiaogan slowly spat out the two words.

Just at this moment.

A golden light flashed in Qin Xiaogan's mind.

"The time is wrong!"
