27: Chapter 27 Old Qiu's Pursuit

Huo Wushuang was sent flying by a punch from Qin Xiaogan, like a kite with a broken string.

Qin Xiaogan glanced at the horrified Feng Tao, then scooped up Qin Pan and vanished instantly.

【Void Walker】

As for Young Master Li Qingfeng, who was currently unconscious, there was likely no time to take him along.

Because Qin Xiaogan's spiritual perception sensed an incredibly terrifying aura rapidly approaching.

Xie Xiyun returned to the group with a despondent expression.

Feng Tao sighed, "Little Xi Xi, have we been defeated?"

Just as Xie Xiyun was about to reply, her expression suddenly tightened.

"Elder Qiu is here."

Feng Tao and Huo Wushuang's faces lit up with joy, "Emperor Qin is finished."

Xie Xiyun's expression was complex as she murmured, "You must fend for yourself."

At this moment, beyond her hatred, she was also filled with deep guilt toward Qin Xiaogan.

Xie Xiyun had always felt that it was because of her that the Qin Family had suffered such a tragic extermination.

If not for her insistence on investigating a certain case back then, this disastrous outcome would never have occurred today.

Everyone suddenly felt a sharp pain in their souls.

Immediately after, an old man with white hair and white eyebrows suddenly appeared before them.

The old man stood with his hands behind his back and said indifferently, "Where is he?"

Xie Xiyun replied respectfully, "Elder Qiu, he just escaped."

Elder Qiu scrutinized Xie Xiyun carefully and said, "You've promoted to S-rank?"

Xie Xiyun nodded.

"Hmph! Three A-ranks and one S-rank, yet you couldn't keep a wild Awakened?"

Elder Qiu scolded the three of them.

The three bowed their heads, not daring to make a sound.

Elder Qiu's right hand suddenly snatched at the air, and a woman on the verge of death appeared in his grasp.

A trace of astonishment flashed in Xie Xiyun's eyes.

Because this woman was none other than Wu Yishui, whom she had just met not long ago.

Elder Qiu said indifferently, "This woman risked her life to stop me from coming here."

Huo Wushuang's face lit up with joy, "The Imperial Capital fugitive—Wu Yishui."

Elder Qiu nodded and tossed Wu Yishui onto the ground, "Since she is an Imperial Capital fugitive, I leave her to you."

Huo Wushuang hurriedly said, "Thank you for your generosity, Elder Qiu."

Elder Qiu waved his hand, and a wave of soul energy radiated from his body.

"This old man still needs to hunt down the remnants, so I will not keep you company."

With that, Elder Qiu transformed into a streak of blue light, shooting toward the north like an arrow released from a bow.

Xie Xiyun sighed, "Huo Wushuang, take her to the Investigation Bureau first."

Huo Wushuang hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Xie Xiyun instructed Feng Tao, "Contact the Investigation Bureau and dispatch a team to handle the civilian issues in the West District."

Feng Tao hurriedly pressed the communicator by her ear, "This is Team One, requesting support."

"This is Team One! Requesting support!"

Only static came from the communicator.

Xie Xiyun frowned, "What's wrong?"

Feng Tao hesitated, "I'm afraid something has happened."

Xie Xiyun's expression turned cold, "Go back!"

Just as Xie Xiyun finished speaking, Lin Li's shouting came from the distance.

"Team Leader! It's bad!"

"Everything is over!"

Xie Xiyun flashed, appearing instantly in front of Lin Li.

"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to guard the Investigation Bureau?"

Lin Li's face was covered in dust, and he looked extremely disheveled.

Panting heavily, he replied, "Team Leader, I escaped. The Investigation Bureau was ransacked by the Four Kings Pavilion."

"What!?"

Everyone's faces showed astonishment.

Xie Xiyun's brows furrowed tightly, "What are the casualties at the Investigation Bureau?"

Lin Li hesitated for a moment, "The two teams suffered heavy casualties, and the Team Leader has... already sacrificed their life."

Feng Tao gasped, "How is that possible!?"

Huo Wushuang wondered, "What about Director Ma? Director Ma is an S-rank powerhouse; how would the Four Kings Pavilion dare to act so recklessly?"

"The Director went to support Binhai City, and Elder Qiu is nowhere to be found."

A weak voice came, "Where is my sister! How is my sister?"

Lin Li looked at the pale Young Master Li Qingfeng, "I don't know. When I escaped, the Four Kings Pavilion was fighting with Team Seven."

Young Master Li Qingfeng stood up shakily, "Why didn't you save my sister! Why!?"

Lin Li cowered, not daring to look into Young Master Li Qingfeng's eyes, "Team Leader Li, at that time I was also..."

Before he could finish, Young Master Li Qingfeng, like a violent wolf, lunged fiercely at Lin Li.

Lin Li's expression changed drastically, and he shouted, "Save me! Team Leader Xie, save me."

Xie Xiyun took a deep breath and closed her eyes, "Enough! How much longer are you going to cause trouble, Young Master Li Qingfeng?"

Young Master Li Qingfeng's face was as gloomy as water as he slowly said, "Fine, fine, fine. Neither of you takes me, Young Master Li Qingfeng, seriously, do you?"

"I am the son of the Marquis of Huainan. I want to see whose world this Yang City really is."

Young Master Li Qingfeng limped toward the direction of the Investigation Bureau.

Feng Tao said worriedly, "Don't tell me Young Master Li Qingfeng is going to do something desperate."

Huo Wushuang sneered, "Even if he jumps, he's still just a dog."

Xie Xiyun said wearily, "Alright, both of you stop talking. Let's head back immediately."

"Yes!"

Meanwhile, on Qin Xiaogan's side.

Qin Xiaogan held Qin Pan and blinked several thousand miles away consecutively.

Just as Qin Xiaogan felt his energy depleting, Liu Han's soul transmission echoed in his mind.

"Emperor Qin, we ransacked the Investigation Bureau! We didn't encounter any strong resistance. Should we still blow up Chen Qi?"

Qin Xiaogan raised an eyebrow, "None? Leave Chen Qi at the Investigation Bureau for now; I have my own arrangements."

"Understood."

Originally, Qin Xiaogan intended to have Chen Qi perform a soul self-detonation to test the bottom line of Elder Qiu, but who would have thought the person wasn't at the Investigation Bureau.

Thinking of this, Qin Xiaogan's pupils shrank violently.

If he wasn't at the Investigation Bureau, then he was...

"The only son of the Qin Family, you actually didn't die, causing this old man quite a bit of trouble."

An aged voice exploded in Qin Xiaogan's ears.

Qin Xiaogan set Qin Pan down, then narrowed his eyes, "I still prefer others calling me Emperor Qin."

"Hahaha, arrogant! A mere boy dares to call himself an Emperor?"

"Just like your father, delusional enough to try and ascend to the heavens."

A massive blue light blanketed the entire horizon.

Elder Qiu slowly emerged from the blue light.

Qin Xiaogan chuckled, "Isn't that just missing Elder Qiu to pave the way for me?"

Elder Qiu's figure paused, "Boy, this old man has come today only to kill you. You still want me to pave the way for you?"

Qin Xiaogan's smile faded as he said indifferently, "I meant using your corpse to pave the way."

"Ridiculous!"

Elder Qiu snorted, "You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth."

【Name: Qiu Sanye】

【Strength: 3000】

【Speed: 2000】

【Defense: 1000】

【Spirit: 5000】

【Rank: S-rank】

【Potential: S】

【Abilities: [S] Soul Transition, [S] Soul??, ???】

It seems the Eye of the Undead needs to be upgraded; it's difficult to probe all the information of an S-rank powerhouse.

Blue flames erupted from Elder Qiu's pupils.

Immediately after, clusters of azure light shadows appeared in the sky one by one.

【Soul Baptism】

Those light spheres were like meteors, trailing long tails of flames, rapidly plummeting toward Qin Xiaogan.
