Immediately report to the main hall and request reinforcements!
Seeing that Fairy Ji Chan'er on the other side of the communication talisman had fallen silent, Qi Yuan's eyelids twitched, and he asked nervously:
"Fairy Ji, is this matter very serious?"
If even the Ji Clan's direct daughter couldn't handle it, he probably would have no choice but to run away.
As for the next mission, at worst, he could just change his identity and sneak in again after a while... this Demonic Sect truly isn't a place for humans. This brother has already been so low-key, yet he's still being targeted and running into such ridiculous troubles.
Just as he was secretly complaining, Ji Chan'er, who had come back to her senses, suddenly snorted coldly and said faintly:
"Hmph! Stop pretending. Besides you, who else could have accomplished such an earth-shattering feat? The friend you mentioned is yourself, isn't it?"
Hearing this, Qi Yuan's expression immediately stiffened. Knowing he couldn't hide it any longer, he could only brace himself and say:
"Fairy Ji is as intelligent as ice and snow, observing everything clearly. This Qi admires you... Actually, it wasn't me who killed them, but my sword..."
"Good, it really was you!"
Before he could finish speaking, Ji Chan'er angrily interrupted him. She seemed furious, gritting her teeth as she said:
"Qi Yuan, you actually hid such a major matter from me! Where are you now? I'm coming to find you immediately."
Knowing he was in the wrong, a certain person hastily replied:
"I'm on Blood Refining Peak in the Outer Sect. You'll see it as soon as you arrive; there are no living people there besides me."
"You stay there and don't move. If any Outer Sect Elder or Law Enforcement Hall Disciple arrives first, immediately show them the token I gave you last time. You absolutely cannot go with them."
After a few hasty instructions, Ji Chan'er hung up the communication talisman, clearly rushing over.
Putting away the spirit talisman in his hand, Qi Yuan glanced at the mountain of corpses around him, then thought better of destroying the evidence.
All these people died in his courtyard, which could serve as evidence that the deceased trespassed into his Immortal Cave, helping the Law Enforcement Hall define his actions as legitimate self-defense... Then, Qi Yuan unceremoniously plundered all the Storage Pouches and Storage Rings from the corpses.
Although Outer Sect Disciples' wealth wasn't much, a mosquito's leg is still meat, let alone several hundred mosquito legs.
Anyway, since the people were already dead, keeping their belongings was useless. If he didn't take them, it would only benefit the Law Enforcement Hall.
According to Chaner, killing fellow Disciples might result in a large fine of Spirit Stones, and these resources could just help him recover a bit.
He narrowed his eyes, wondering what he had thought of, and quickly took out a small, ghostly banner from his storage bracelet, gently shook out its surface, and then inserted it into the mud below.
Buzz—
A chilling, eerie black mist surged from the myriad souls banner, instantly engulfing the entire courtyard.
In an instant, the courtyard was filled with soaring Yin Qi and flickering ghostly shadows. The souls lingering around the corpses were drawn in, scrambling to enter the myriad souls banner.
A moment later, as the last specter was drawn into the myriad souls banner, the originally pitch-black banner cloth became even darker and deeper, overflowing with Yin Qi.
Whoosh!
A black flash, and the myriad souls banner transformed back to palm-size, collected by Qi Yuan into his storage space.
After all this was done, Qi Yuan finally let out a sigh of relief, muttering indignantly:
"Thanks to this dog system, I'm clearly from a righteous sect, yet I'm constantly made to seem like a demonic deviant. This is truly enough!"
This myriad souls banner was snatched from a demonic cultivator in Qing'an City. Although it was a Demonic Weapon, it was quite good for storing specters.
For newly formed specters, if there was nothing to attach to, they would quickly dissipate.
The reason he decided to collect the souls of these Outer Sect Disciples was to prepare for the unexpected, in case the System suddenly pulled a stunt in the future.
He was still mixing in Blood Refining Peak, and now almost all the Outer Sect Disciples of Blood Refining Peak were dead. If the idiotic System arranged another underworld mission like defeating dead people, similar to the Old Ancestor of the Wang Family, wouldn't he be completely lost?
Because he had been tricked so many times, a certain person already deeply understood the various abstract qualities of his System.
It was completely deaf and blind, not caring about reality at all, and could come up with any kind of brain-dead mission just to torment the Host.
Just as Qi Yuan's thoughts were scattered, a streak of light suddenly drifted from a distance in mid-air.
It seemed to have seen the gruesome scene below, as the streak of light immediately made an emergency stop. After a moment of stunned silence, it turned around and fled in panic, at a speed faster than it had arrived.
"I've been discovered... It looks like someone will be here soon."
Seeing this, Qi Yuan frowned, then took out the token Ji Chan'er had given him from his storage bracelet, quietly waiting for the next wave of people to appear.
Before long, dozens of figures swiftly approached.
These Demonic Sect Disciples were all clad in black robes with xiezhi patterns embroidered on their chests, clearly Disciples of the Outer Sect Law Enforcement Hall.
The leader was a short, thin middle-aged man with sunken cheeks and narrow, elongated eyes, giving off a sinister and fierce impression.
Noticing that the highest cultivation among this group was only at Golden Core Peak, Qi Yuan's expression relaxed slightly, and he calmly walked forward to meet them.
"You... you, don't come any closer!"
Seeing a stranger walk towards him, stepping on a "mountain of corpses and a sea of blood," the middle-aged demonic cultivator from the Law Enforcement Hall felt an inexplicable panic and quickly raised his hand to stop him.
When someone had reported the case to the Law Enforcement Hall earlier, he thought the person was exaggerating and overstating the facts.
But now, it seemed the reporter had been somewhat conservative... As an enforcement Disciple of the Outer Sect Law Enforcement Hall, the middle-aged man had handled countless major and bloody cases, but he had never encountered such a shocking and terrifying scene as today.
At this moment, his gaze towards Qi Yuan was filled with fear and vigilance:
"Who are you, and how did all these people die?"
Qi Yuan smiled slightly and explained calmly:
"This Senior Brother, my name is Qi Da. I'm an Outer Sect Disciple who just joined today, and I just found a residence a while ago."
Saying this, he pointed to the sign outside the courtyard that read [This Courtyard has an Owner, Please Do Not Disturb], and continued:
"Unexpectedly, as soon as I settled down in the courtyard, many intruders broke in with ill intentions."
"Out of self-defense, I killed all those who trespassed, which is why you see this scene now, Senior Brother."
Qi Yuan's words contained three parts injustice and seven parts sincerity, as if he himself were the victim.
"What?!"
Hearing this, all the Law Enforcement Hall Disciples, including the middle-aged demonic cultivator, gasped in cold air, their faces showing expressions of disbelief.
A mere Middle Foundation Establishment Stage newcomer, who had just joined for one day, casually wiped out almost all the Outer Sect Disciples of Blood Refining Peak.
Even more unimaginable was that among the corpses were Chi Yinghu and Wu Renjie, two notorious tough characters from the entire Outer Sect!
Such wanton slaughter of fellow Disciples, and afterward, talking and laughing while slandering the deceased, was simply inhumane and utterly insane!
Of course, the reason this guy gave was also extremely clumsy, full of holes.
So, your courtyard has a mine underground, causing those Blood Refining Peak Disciples to rush in one after another to their deaths?
At this moment, everyone's gaze towards Qi Yuan completely changed.
This kid, having just joined for one day, had already slaughtered Blood Refining Peak, a place everyone in the Outer Sect dreaded, turning it into a field of corpses. Such wantonness and ruthlessness made him an unparalleled Devil Head, rarely seen in ten thousand years!
After the extreme shock, the middle-aged demonic cultivator took a deep breath and resolutely ordered:
"This child is beyond our ability to handle. Quickly report to the Main Hall and request reinforcements!"
