I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 290 The Rules of Qingzhou

As Xiao Qi listened to the crowd's discussion, the corners of her mouth turned up, revealing a mocking smile.

Guo Laosan was indeed in Qingzhou, but not in the city. He had secretly gone to Qingshui Town. She hadn't touched him because she wanted to pin the deaths of Tang Ning and the other two on him tonight.

Of course, once they entered Qingshui Town, she didn't need to lift a finger.

"Everyone, be quiet."

Xiao Qi's voice wasn't loud, but it rang clearly in everyone's ears. The previously noisy scene immediately quieted down, and everyone looked up at this legendary genius girl.

She wore a beige sweatshirt and a baseball cap. Her eyes, hidden beneath the brim, were as dark as an icy pool. When they glanced at her, they involuntarily tensed up and dared not move.

The world of cultivators is indeed one where strength reigns supreme.

Meng Qi smiled.

"It's indeed a bit inappropriate to invite everyone here so late at night. But we have no choice. A cultivator died in Qingzhou, and his family came to ask us for an answer. That's normal, isn't it?"

"As you already know, the deceased were members of the Tang family in Nanling: Tang Ning, the eldest daughter of Tang Yingping, the eldest son of the Tang family, her third brother Tang Zhi, and Tang Lun, the eldest son of the third master of the Tang family. All three had their throats slit and their right hands cut off."

With a buzz, the people below realized what was happening and immediately started discussing it.

"I knew the Dongfang family brat wouldn't talk nonsense. Look, this is how people die, isn't it?"

"Was it really Guo Laosan who killed him?"

Guo Laoliu in the crowd closed his eyes and clenched his fists. It was one thing for his third brother to do this in Nanling, but this was Qingzhou, someone else's territory. To kill people so openly and arrogantly in his own way was just courting death.
Third Brother wasn't caught by them tonight. He only hoped that he could get the news in Qingshui Town and run away, leave Qingzhou, and run back to Nanling.

When they were brought here, their cell phones had already been handed over, so they couldn't send messages.

"It's still unclear who killed him, however..."

Xiao Qi stopped and looked at Guo Laoliu in the crowd. The latter immediately felt his hair stand on end, as if he had been frightened.

"Sixth Master Guo, is that right? May I ask who you came to Qingzhou with?"

"I...I'm all alone."

"One person? Our investigation report shows it wasn't just you, but five people. Also, there happens to be a segment in the hotel's surveillance video showing you having a conflict with Tang Ning and his two companions."

"So, the Guo family really is in Qingzhou. Guo Laoliu, you son of a bitch, where's Guo Laosan? Where is he? Hand him over to me!"

Before Xiao Qi could finish speaking, a loud shout suddenly rang out from behind her, and then Tang Laosan appeared, leading two men who were walking angrily toward them.

Just as he was about to pass by Xiao Qi, he suddenly turned and, about ten meters away from her, circled around the crowd that had gathered from the other side. Then, he quickly pulled Guo Laoliu, who was in the middle, out of the crowd.

"Tell me, where is Guo Laosan? Tell me now!"

"You and your good third brother are usually inseparable, don't fucking tell me he didn't come, that he fled to avoid punishment, is that it?"

Guo Laoliu felt extremely embarrassed as Tang Laosan and his men pushed and shoved him.

Unable to bear it any longer, Guo Laoliu uttered a few words, and the ground beneath his feet suddenly softened, causing Tang Laosan and the others, who were entangled with him, to sink into the mud with a plop.

Just as the four people were about to be buried in the ground, the soft soil suddenly bulged upwards with a loud bang, pushing them and the soil out of the ground.

However, only Tang Laosan and his group were brought out; Guo Laoliu was nowhere to be found.

But then a mound appeared on the ground ten meters away, and then people were seen crawling out of it.

However, Guo Laoliu, who emerged from the hole, was dumbfounded.

According to his technique, he should have emerged from a hundred meters away, not from ten meters away like a fart.

this.
This place has been set up with a formation!
Guo Laoliu, being from a Xuanmen sect, quickly understood why he couldn't escape. As for who set up the formation?

He turned his head and looked at Dongfang Shuo, who was smiling at him from not far away.

hiss.
He couldn't help but gasp; this kid's mastery of formations was truly well-deserved.

"Is Master Guo tired of the paths above and wants to try the paths below?"

"puff!"

Someone couldn't help but laugh out loud, but Tang Laosan, who was buried in the dirt, roared angrily, "Guo Laoliu, you son of a bitch, how dare you use dirty tricks on us! I'll kill you today!"

Swish swish!

As soon as Tang Laosan finished speaking, in less than a second, the group was bound tightly by the suddenly appearing vines, unable to move, looking like green mummies.

Xiao Qi's dark eyes swept over Tang Laosan, and finally looked at Guo Laoliu, sneering, "What kind of illusion did Qingzhou give you that made you think you could do whatever you wanted here?"

The familiar feeling washed over him again, and Tang Laosan's face turned deathly pale, his body trembling involuntarily.

What's wrong with this lady? I wasn't targeting you, so why are you tying me up?

"It seems that Master Guo is unwilling to tell the truth today. Director Yang, would you like to take him away for interrogation by Shan Hai Tang, or should we interrogate him?"

The window of a jeep parked not far away was rolled down, revealing Yang Yi's face. He said, "To avoid any complications, Captain Yin, please interrogate the man. If we can catch Guo Laosan, I'll bring him back to Shanhaitang. Of course, if the fugitive resists, I have no objection to dealing with him on the spot. I'll explain it to our hall master in detail later."

Guo Laoliu's expression changed instantly. He didn't care about interrogating him, but these few words sealed Third Brother's guilt.

Although he suspected that his third brother was most likely the one who killed the man, he still clung to a sliver of hope until he saw the man himself and heard him admit it.

After all, even the most clueless person has to consider their current situation and what they are about to do.

Moreover, he subconsciously felt that there was a possibility that he had been framed.

But now he wanted to explain but couldn't utter a single word. His whole body was bound, yet he was also enveloped by an invisible pressure, making it impossible for him to even speak.

Guo Laoliu was taken away by Yin Zheng's men, and Tang Laosan and his group were also "invited" away.

"The first thing is settled, now let's talk about the second thing,"

She was suspended in mid-air, the vines beneath her feet forming a green archway that rose and fell with her will. In the current cultivation world, where techniques were not so comprehensive, this was something that made everyone envious.

"The Tang family's demands have served as a wake-up call for us. It seems that Qingzhou is too easy for everyone to come and go as they please, to fight whenever they want, to kill whenever they want, and to do whatever they want. Do you think our Captain Xia is easy to bully?"

"Ah!"

Xia Yunsong, who was staying in his office and not showing up, suddenly sneezed for no apparent reason.

"Today, on behalf of our Captain Xia, I'd like to talk to you about the rules of Qingzhou. These are new rules, just recently established."

"First, any cultivator who enters Qingzhou in the future must report to Captain Yan of the Criminal Police Team. Those who fail to report will bear the consequences once discovered!"

When she spoke of bearing the consequences, about twenty meters away from her, two large trees suddenly sprang up from the ground and "walked" to the outer edge of the circle surrounding the cultivators. Immediately afterwards, an ice wall with sharp spikes appeared out of thin air next to them.

For a moment, the entire venue fell silent, and nearly two hundred cultivators stared in disbelief and shock at the scene.

Is this the kind of ability and level of understanding a sixteen-year-old can possess?
Is that human being?
"Secondly, if you need protection from Qingzhou officials after registering, and require guarantees of your personal safety during your stay in Qingzhou, you can sign a contract with Captain Yan. We will clearly state the price for the number of days and the level of protection required, ensuring fairness and transparency to meet everyone's needs."

"Of course, if you don't need our protection after reporting, please sign your name with Captain Yan to indicate that anything that happens during your stay in Qingzhou is none of our business, including life and death."

"Third, no cultivators are allowed to set foot in Sanqing Mountain and Qingshui Town. This is not a new rule, but I would like to reiterate it here: anyone who enters without permission will only have one fate: death!"
