26: Chapter 26 The Whole Country is an Enemy!

"Brother Qin——"

"No need to say more."

Qin Muyuan raised his hand to interrupt again while Xiao Chang was speaking anxiously.

He glanced at the quest that had already changed:

[Xiao Chang issues a quest to you full of guilt, but you decide to change the quest content on the premise of resolving Xiao Chang's concerns]

[Total quest changed to: Enemies Across the Entire Country]

[Grand Master Lin Jiuye wants to kill you, the military commander of Hongyan Prefecture also wants to kill you, and the high-ranking officials and nobles of Qinghua County want to kill you! Yet how could you be willing to capture without a fight?! The so-called——laughing aloud towards the sky as I go out the door, how could people like us be mere common folk! You, Qin Muyuan, decide to kill, to kill everyone who wants to kill you, to kill everyone blocking your path ahead, and to kill everyone who dares to raise their head and look at you!]

[Phase 1 Quest: Kill everyone in Qinghua County who attempts to kill you!]

[Quest Rewards: Experience +1000, Mall Points +4000, Huoyun Country Regional Fame +400, White-tier Martial Art · Mad Killing Sword Technique * 1]

[Note: This quest is divided into multiple phases. Upon completing each phase quest, you can claim that phase's quest reward and unlock the next phase quest]

"Enemies Across the Entire Country, you say? What a great quest name!"

Seeing the changed quest, Qin Muyuan's heart suddenly felt relieved and refreshed. This was the quest he wanted!

In such an open and realistic open world, how could escaping be the only solution to problems?

All he needed to do was kill all the enemies, slaughter all the mob monsters blocking his way, and hack Grand Master Lin Jiuye—who sounded quite like a boss name—into eighteen pieces!

Then there wouldn't be anyone left wanting to kill him, and the quest would be considered complete!

How to relieve worries?

Only by killing!

Qin Muyuan raised his gaze and said to Xiao Chang:

"Later, make some commotion in Xiao Mansion, putting on an appearance that I have broken ties with your Xiao Family and slashed my way out of Xiao Mansion with my sword."

As a player with an immortal body, Qin Muyuan truly wasn't cowed by Grand Master Lin Jiuye and the others.

However, Xiao Chang's family would actually die if they were killed.

At least, Qin Muyuan had never seen any items capable of resurrecting NPCs in the mall panel.

Of course, it was also possible that his Rank was not high enough yet, and many mall items had yet to be unlocked.

Regardless, it was better not to drag the Xiao Family into this.

This could protect the Xiao Family while also preventing them from holding him back, forcing him to come back to save them later.

Even though the latter might yield an extra quest, Qin Muyuan accepted quests to level up and become stronger, not just for the sake of taking quests.

Besides, he had just said earlier that he would cover Xiao Chang, only to sacrifice Xiao Chang later just to take a small quest... That would drop his mood value.

"Little Brother Qin..."

Hearing Qin Muyuan's words, Xiao Feng just started to open his mouth, but was interrupted by Xiao Chang, who had fallen silent a moment before: "Dad, no need to say more!"

Xiao Chang raised his head, looked at Qin Muyuan, and wore a seriousness never seen before on his face:

"Brother Qin, I believe you!"

"I suddenly figured it out. Brother Qin, you are a true peerless Prodigy."

"Your talent in the Martial Dao is not only the strongest I have ever seen, but also the strongest I have ever heard of!"

"Since you have made such a decision, it means you must have immense confidence in your heart."

"Since that is the case, Xiao Chang... wishes Brother Qin all the best!"

Hearing this, Qin Muyuan grinned:

"Although you're just a string of code, you suit my temper! Once I slaughter my way through the entire Huoyun Country, I'll make that Huoyun Country emperor step down and let you go up there to play emperor!"

These treasonous words made Xiao Chang wryly smile, but he had long known that Qin Muyuan had such a fearless and defiant personality, so he didn't find it surprising.

He merely patted Qin Muyuan's shoulder and said: "Brother Qin, stay alive!"

"Haven't you seen it before? Can I even die?"

Qin Muyuan said with a smile, then patted Wangcai's head beside him, and walked out of the guest room with carefree ease under the gazes of everyone in the Xiao Family.

"No one is allowed to reveal a single bit of today's events to the outside world! Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless!"

Watching Qin Muyuan's retreating figure, Xiao Feng said to all the Xiao Family relatives with a solemn expression.

"We understand!"

The remaining Xiao Family relatives nodded solemnly.

If today's conversation with Qin Muyuan leaked even a tiny bit, the Xiao Family would inevitably face annihilation, and everyone in the entire clan would lose their heads!

Seeing this, Xiao Feng nodded, then quickly instructed the Xiao Family relatives to create a commotion, putting on an appearance of disagreement and a complete break with Qin Muyuan.

...

Outside Xiao Mansion.

Shi Gandang wore an anxious look, pacing back and forth under the steps in front of the mansion.

Not long ago, he received a confidential report from that secret organization, learning that someone was plotting against his savior, Qin Muyuan.

Upon hearing the news, he immediately set out from home and rushed all the way to Xiao Mansion to report the message.

However, the guards in front of Xiao Mansion stopped him, saying he needed to go inside first to ask the person in charge of the Xiao Family for instructions, and could only be let through after gaining approval.

But... a long time had passed since that guard went in to report, and still no figure had emerged.

This truly made Shi Gandang burn with anxiety, because the longer it dragged on, the more unfavorable it would be for Qin Muyuan!

And just when Shi Gandang couldn't bear it any longer and decided to force his way into Xiao Mansion,

a burst of clamor and extremely noisy commotion suddenly came from within Xiao Mansion.

Shi Gandang's expression changed:

"Could those assassins have already found Hero Qin?"

Thinking of this, he was about to rush into Xiao Mansion.

Right at that moment, a blood-stained figure leisurely walked out from inside Xiao Mansion.

It was Qin Muyuan.

"Hero Qin! You..."

Shi Gandang immediately stepped forward. Just as he wanted to speak, he suddenly noticed the blood stains on Qin Muyuan's body, as well as the clamor and shouting coming from inside Xiao Mansion.

"Oh? It's Shi Gandang? What is the matter?" Qin Muyuan asked calmly upon seeing Shi Gandang approach.

"Hero Qin! Someone is secretly plotting to murder you, please rush immediately to the county entrance of Qinghua County! The organization I belong to has already sent people to provide backup. There is no time to lose, please set off quickly!"

Why did everyone and their mother think he was about to meet a tragic end?

Hearing Shi Gandang's words, Qin Muyuan was baffled. Why did everyone feel that if he didn't run now, he would undoubtedly die? Wasn't there a single person willing to believe in him?

"It seems my fame is still too low; there isn't even a single person willing to believe me."

Qin Muyuan thought to himself. He walked out of Xiao Mansion, directly waved his hand, and refused Shi Gandang's urging:

"Say no more! My mind is made up."

"Make me run away? These few NPCs don't have that kind of ability yet!"

Shi Gandang wanted to speak again, but Qin Muyuan had already set off directly, opening the quest guidance and walking slowly in the direction pointed by the arrow in his field of vision.

He didn't give Shi Gandang any chance to persuade him again.

On the street outside Xiao Mansion,

the neighborhood residents also quickly recognized Qin Muyuan, who was stained with blood and holding a bone nail.

After yesterday's deeds of Qin Muyuan slaughtering his way into Baiyun Martial Arts Hall and rescuing the Martial Artists spread, quite a few neighborhood residents felt a bit timid inside when they saw his blood-stained appearance holding a bone nail.

However, some bolder residents plucked up their courage and asked:

"Hero Qin, you are covered in blood and exuding an aggressive Aura, where are you headed?"

"To kill," Qin Muyuan replied indifferently.

"Kill?!" The neighborhood residents were stunned, and terror filled their hearts.

Was the word "kill" something that could be spoken openly in public?

After being stunned, another resident plucked up the courage to ask: "Hero Qin, who are you going to kill?"

Without turning his head, Qin Muyuan continued walking in one direction as his leisurely voice drifted over:

"Kill everyone who wants to kill me."
