155: Got caught on camera

Since killing Hai Qing and taking over his Flowing Land, Qingyang encountered his first major problem.

That was how to convert the blood energy of Hai Qing and others into resources.

One must know, Hai Qing and his subordinates were seasoned powerhouses of Bei Guan City; the moment their bodies appeared, it would immediately arouse suspicion.

Helplessly, Qingyang could only have Hong Zong secretly go to another city to trade.

The amount of blood energy within the flesh and blood of a thirteenth-tier powerhouse goes without saying.

According to Jin Hua, the bodies of these five powerhouses could be exchanged for at least 1.4 million zhen crystal.

However, just five days after Hong Zong left Bei Guan City's territory, five powerhouses, all fourteenth-tier and wearing the Enforcer' robes of Bei Guan City, arrived at Qingyang's Flowing Land.

The moment their figures appeared, Qingyang's subconscious thought was to immediately flee.

But seeing Jin Hua and Jin Sheng constantly explaining beside these powerhouses, Qingyang suppressed his fear, calmed himself down, and quickly emerged from the cave to greet them.

From afar, among the five fourteenth-tier powerhouses, the one in the middle noticed Qingyang's figure and immediately said, "By order of the City Lord, this is a routine inspection."

After saying this, the other party had already arrived not far from Qingyang and the others, then took out a golden book and said, "According to your statistics,

Jin Hua is a three hundred sixth Gate Keeper, with his subordinate forces, Jin Sheng, early thirteenth-tier,

Qingyang, peak twelfth-tier Bone Beast, who is Qingyang?"

Hearing the question, Qingyang quickly stepped forward, deliberately making his Bone Body less conspicuous.

"Reporting, sir, I am Qingyang."

Noticing Qingyang's bone body, which had shrunk to about ten meters, the five powerhouses looked him over curiously and said very seriously, "Have you already broken through to the thirteenth-tier? Not bad."

Next, the powerhouse holding the golden book, after clearly modifying Qingyang's strength, began to speak again, "Where are Blood Dragon and Bai Rou Rou? Blood Dragon is peak twelfth-tier, Bai Rou Rou is mid-twelfth-tier."

Hearing the question, Blood Dragon and Bai Rou Rou could only step out.

This time, the moment they noticed that Blood Dragon had also advanced to the thirteenth-tier, the expressions of the five powerhouses began to change.

How to advance? There is only one answer: a massive amount of resources.

How to obtain a massive amount of resources? Could it be related to Hai Qing? This matter requires investigation.

However, these five powerhouses were composed enough and continued, "Where are Pink Spirit, Liu Jian, and Hong Zong?"

This time, it was Qingyang and the others' turn to be awkward.

Finally, Qingyang deliberately showed a bitter smile on his face and said, "Sirs, Liu Jian and Pink Spirit died while carrying out an Order Keeper mission.

They were killed by several late twelfth-tier powerhouses working together. By the time we rushed there, it was too late. Blood Dragon and I were able to break through by consuming their..."

As soon as this was said, the expressions of the five powerhouses immediately returned to normal.

"Hmm, no wonder, that makes sense then. What about the other one, Hong Zong?"

As he spoke, the powerhouse holding the golden book directly crossed out Liu Jian and Pink Spirit.

Seeing the other party's meticulous investigation, Qingyang guessed that the City Lord of Bei Guan City seemed genuinely angry this time.

"Reporting, sir, Hong Zong went deep into the territory. As you know, powerhouses often appear in the Flowing Land now. As long as an Order Keeper team discovers a situation and knows they can't handle it, they will directly inform us, and we will go deal with it."

Qingyang's words were watertight, preventing the powerhouses from detecting any abnormality.

Finally, the powerhouse on the right said, "Let's go, they are simply not capable of killing Hai Qing. Don't forget Hai Qing's strength when he was killed.

Two late thirteenth-tier, three mid-thirteenth-tier. This level of strength, just one late thirteenth-tier could directly wipe out these people."

Hearing the powerhouse's words, Qingyang subtly turned his head to look at the few people behind him, especially Blood Dragon.

The five fourteenth-tier powerhouses investigating the matter left. Jin Hua also exchanged a look with Qingyang and quickly followed them to continue investigating the situation.

On the fifteenth day after the five Enforcer left, Hong Zong returned carrying a million zhen crystal.

Very fortunately, because the major giant cities are currently preparing for war, the flesh and blood of these powerhouses have become the most valuable resources, exchanging for a full 1.7 million zhen crystal.

With so many zhen crystal, coupled with the daily tribute of zhen crystal from the Flowing Land, Qingyang immediately said to Hong Zong, "Next, you should fully absorb the zhen crystal and break through.

Bai Rou Rou, you also consume them together. Resources are only resources once they are consumed. We need to settle down for a while."

After saying this, Qingyang nodded towards Blood Dragon, who was standing nearby. Blood Dragon also tactfully walked out of the deep cave and began waiting for calls for help from the Order Keeper Captains.

Watching the cave fall silent once more, Qingyang approached Qingtian somewhat hesitantly.

"Senior, I have some questions I'd like to ask you. Don't die yet, come back to life for a bit."

As Qingyang's voice sounded, Qingtian's coiled snake bones slowly wriggled, eventually coming fully to life.

"What is it? Speak."

"Is the Seven-Colored Bone the limit of this path?" Qingyang asked.

As soon as this was said, Qingtian's bone body subconsciously trembled, but he finally said, "What do you mean?"

Noticing that Qingtian also seemed not to understand the path of the Seven-Colored Bone, Qingyang could only patiently say, "It's like this. A few days ago, we killed a Gate Keeper.

When I was fighting that late thirteenth-tier powerhouse, because our strengths were similar, I found that as I fought him, I actually felt like I could evolve one more time."

As soon as Qingyang finished speaking, Qingtian's originally lackadaisical bone body straightened abruptly and said very seriously.

"Can still evolve? How is that possible? Impossible, absolutely impossible. If it could still evolve, why didn't it choose to continue back then?"

After saying this, Qingtian did not wait for Qingyang's response and immediately fell into contemplation, seemingly recalling something.

Time passed second by second. Because of Qingtian's silent recollection, the atmosphere became increasingly anxious, even oppressive.

It wasn't until a long time passed that Qingtian's entire bone body seemed drained of strength, suddenly collapsing onto a stone and saying weakly.

"Could it be for that matter? Yes, that stubborn fellow might actually have been able to. He could have come down with the strength of a sixteenth-tier 'initial', but he insisted on coming down at peak fifteenth-tier.

He kept saying he wanted to prove himself, but time and again he took the wrong path."

After saying this, Qingtian suddenly raised his hollow snake skull and stared at Qingyang very seriously.

"Alright, since you believe you can evolve one more time, then follow your idea. I fully support you."
