Skip this! Just tell me who to kill!

Who?

Wang Heihu?

Hearing the exclamations of the other Xiao family relatives behind him, Xiao Chang immediately lowered his head and looked at the head lying on the ground with its eyes wide open in death.

His head still bore the marks of shock and disbelief at being killed.

However, even so, Xiao Chang still recognized the head's appearance—it was the same head that was hung day and night at the entrance of the Qinghua County government office, the head of the Black Tiger Gang, wanted by the Fire Cloud Kingdom!

"It really is Wang Heihu!"

"I work as a clerk in the county government office, I would never mistake this for Wang Heihu's head!"

"But how is this possible! Wang Heihu was a second-rate martial artist. He'd been wanted with a bounty on his head for so long, and no martial artist had been able to take his life! And now... he's dead here!"

Outside the side room, Xiao's relatives made a commotion and exclamations.

While staring at Wang Heihu's head, they turned their gaze to the young man in the side room, whose body was stained with blood and whose hair and eyes were black.

Inside the room were only Wang Heihu, a wolf demon, and Qin Muyuan.

Besides him, who else could kill Wang Heihu!

However, among everyone present, only Xiao Chang stared blankly at Qin Muyuan.

As someone who escaped from the prison in Heishui County of Xiaoshan Kingdom along with Qin Muyuan, Xiao Chang had a clear yet vague understanding of Qin Muyuan's strength.

On their way from the Blackwater County prison to the Fire Cloud Kingdom, the two of them were pursued by the cavalry of the Small Mountain Kingdom.

At that time, although Qin Muyuan had driven back all the cavalry of Xiaoshan Kingdom, he was not able to kill them all.

Judging by his strength, Qin Muyuan was considered one of the stronger third-rate martial artists at that time.

But... the gap between a third-rate martial artist and Wang Heihu, a second-rate martial artist, is an insurmountable chasm!

How long had it been from the sound of fighting heard in the main hall to Xiao Chang arriving at this side room?

Qin Muyuan has now killed the second-rate martial artist Wang Heihu with his sword.

"Is this...right?"

Xiao Chang was filled with doubt, his face showing extreme bewilderment.

"What's wrong?" Qin Muyuan asked directly after hearing Xiao Chang's words.

It's just killing a small elite monster, why make such a fuss?

Qin Muyuan turned his head and saw the exclamation mark that lit up above Xiao Chang's head, and asked:

"You've come to see me, you must have some kind of mission, right?"

Upon hearing Qin Muyuan's words, Xiao Chang remembered the discussions in the main hall. He gritted his teeth slightly and said:

"Brother Qin, my Xiao family... has failed you in repaying our life-saving grace!"

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Chang got straight to the point, revealing that since there was no hope of getting help, the Xiao family could only publicly sever ties while secretly funding Qin Muyuan's escape.

Qin Muyuan was willing to be patient with Xiao Chang, the NPC, and thus he understood the current situation and the efforts the Xiao family had made to seek help in order to protect him.

"No wonder Xiao Chang looked constipated yesterday, but didn't say anything in the end. I thought he was being treated like a simp by the girl he liked. Turns out he was worried about the Baiyun Martial Arts School's revenge..."

After listening carefully to the whole story, Qin Muyuan thought to himself.

They sought help from a family that was on good terms with the imperial court, but the family refused to help.

Seeking help from close friends, only to have those friends sever ties and cut off all ties.

The fact that the Xiao family only notified me to escape now truly shows how much they have done for me.

Qin Muyuan looked at Xiao Chang, who had a guilty expression, and then glanced at the task that had just popped up on the panel:

Xiao Chang, filled with remorse, issues you a task.

[Mission: Go into hiding and avoid the limelight]

Lin Jiuye, the headmaster of Baiyun Martial Arts School, has murderous intent towards you. The commander of Hongyan County is sending men to assassinate you, and a group of high-ranking officials and nobles in Qinghua County also want your life! Now, your only option is to flee... perhaps?

[Task Rewards: Experience +400, Shop Points +2000, Fire Cloud Kingdom Regional Reputation -150, Colorless Martial Art - Azure Turtle Skill *1]

"Fame -150? The reward for completing the mission is actually a negative one?"

Qin Muyuan glanced at the panel speechlessly, then checked the [Colorless Martial Arts - Green Turtle Skill].

This is a martial art for cultivating inner strength. After practicing it, one can become calm and peaceful. Even if an enemy insults one's wife or kills one's family in public, one can suppress one's anger and never act impulsively.

just.

"They say it's about cultivating inner strength, but isn't that just being a cuckold!"

Qin Mu came here to play games to have a good time, not to be a slacker!

So he immediately raised his hand to stop Xiao Chang from speaking:

"You're saying that the Baiyun Martial Arts School, the Hongyan County Commandant, and all the high-ranking officials and nobles in the county whose young masters and ladies I killed are all after me?"

"Yes, Brother Qin!" Xiao Chang advised, "They are powerful and numerous, you must not act rashly..."

"Very good!" However, Qin Muyuan interrupted him directly:

"I was actually hoping that the small mountain kingdom would send troops to kill me, so that I could break through the enemy's formation single-handedly and take the enemy general's head from among thousands of troops."

"After waiting for several days, the small mountain country still hasn't sent any troops. We're getting a little tired of waiting."

"Now... we finally have a replacement for the troops of the Small Mountain Kingdom!"

what?

Upon hearing Qin Muyuan's words, Xiao Chang, Xiao Feng, and the other members of the Xiao family who had only heard of Qin Muyuan's name but had never met him were all stunned.

What is meant by a substitute for the Little Mountain Kingdom's army?

Some of Xiao's relatives picked at their ears to make sure they hadn't misheard.

After a long pause, Xiao Chang came to his senses and asked in a daze, "Brother Qin, you mean... go find those people and kill them all?"

"Of course." Qin Muyuan nodded slowly, speaking as if he were answering a question about what to eat today.

Crazy!

Upon hearing Qin Muyuan's response, the Xiao family relatives' eyes widened, and they all gasped in shock, realizing that this had made a huge contribution to global warming in the Fire Cloud Kingdom.

It's not that they thought Qin Muyuan was crazy, but... Qin Muyuan's words were simply too shocking!

Should we kill all of them?

How is that possible!

He couldn't even kill Lin Jiuye, let alone the county magistrate of Hongyan County, or even Da Gui, a high-ranking official in Qinghua County!

Even if he is powerful enough to kill one or two high-ranking officials, he will be surrounded and killed by the county soldiers as soon as they discover him!

Even if he killed the county soldiers of Qinghua County, there are still border troops stationed outside Qinghua County!

These border guards are no ordinary peasants; they are powerful warriors with extensive experience in fighting against the small mountain kingdom!

Once the border guards are alerted, let alone second-rate martial artists, even first-rate martial artists would have no choice but to flee for their lives in a sorry state!

Even if Qin Mu escapes far away in the future, he will still be wanted by the entire Huoyun Kingdom.

At that point, it won't be as simple as Lin Jiuye and the Commandant of Hongyan County chasing after him.

Instead, everyone in the entire Fire Cloud Kingdom will regard Qin Muyuan as a murderer and hunt him down across the country!

This is a nation fighting against one person!
