As he spoke, the old lecher took out a long spear and slowly approached Wu Qiu and his companions, saying, "I didn't expect you to be bandits. If that's the case, then obediently surrender."

After saying that, he opened his mouth but said a few words without making a sound. Although he couldn't hear it, Wu Qiu knew from his lip movements that he was saying, "If you fall into my hands, I will make sure you don't see the sun tomorrow, and your woman will be mine too."

What he didn't know was that Wu Qiu's emotions had already become very abnormal after those few words were spoken, and now, his eyes had become extremely calm.

You should know that Wu Qiu's calm eyes now are definitely not a good thing.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, and then everyone realized that Wu Qiu had disappeared. When he reappeared, he had already grabbed Qianyan Jun by the neck.

He led him to a set of steps, grabbed the back of his head by the hair, and lifted him high, aiming at one corner of the steps.

"Since you're determined to prevent me from seeing the sun tomorrow, I might as well kill you now to protect myself, right?"

After saying that, Wu Qiu raised his hand and brought it down suddenly, smashing Qian Yanjun's face straight down and violently towards the corner of the steps.

"No! No! Ah!!!!!!!!!!"

It all happened so fast that even Ying and the others didn't have time to react. By the time everyone realized what was happening, Qianyan Jun's face had already smashed into the corner of the steps.

With a scream, blood spurted out, and pebbles flew everywhere. When Wu Qiu finally straightened his face again, the old lecherous man from Qianyan Army was completely covered in blood; he was as dead as could be.

This scene was disgusting, but Wu Qiu remained calm and expressionless. He had returned to that time, the time when he fought Fengshan Jueyun.

The person was already dead, but Wu Qiu still didn't stop, lifting and lowering, lifting and lowering again and again. After a while, the person's brain was almost gone, and the steps were almost flattened.

At this moment, Ying finally reacted, took a quick step forward, and grabbed Wu Qiu's wrist. "Little Qiu!"

But Wu Qiu continued to slam the hammer down forcefully. He was furious, though his face remained expressionless; he needed to vent his anger this way.

"enough!"

Finally, Ying forcefully stopped Wu Qiu's hand. An invisible wave of energy spread out, and Ying's power suppressed Wu Qiu.

At that moment, Wu Qiu's body trembled, as if he had returned to his original form. He loosened his grip, and the corpse fell to the ground.

Looking at himself, then at the corpse, feeling the memories and sensations in his mind, Wu Qiu's eyes trembled uncontrollably. He finally looked up at Ying and said, "I... Sister Ying, am I...?"

Ying grabbed Wu Qiu and pulled her away, saying, "Stop talking, come with me!"

After saying that, Ying pulled Wu Qiu along as they ran, while summoning Fenghen with one hand and saying to the others, "Target: Liyue, charge in."

Chapter 155: Transformation

Our target is Liyue. We're going to storm in. The reason we say storm in rather than escape is because we're practically wanted criminals now. Killing the Thousand Rock Army is no small crime.

If they escape, it will be troublesome for them to get to Liyue. Since that's the case, they might as well take advantage of the sudden situation and just storm in.

"I knew it!"

Feng Shan Jueyun covered his face and could only follow Paimeng and Wuxiang Fengzai as they rushed inside. As for the Qianyan Army, they were clearly taken aback by the sheer cruelty and daring of the killings, and were momentarily stunned.

Only when Wu Qiu was already in front of him did he finally react and shout, "Someone! Stop them!"

It was too late. Although there were quite a few Thousand Rock Army soldiers here, things happened too suddenly, and only a few dozen Thousand Rock Army soldiers ran this way, and they were quite far from Hai.

Other news hasn't reached them yet. So, if they want to break in now, they only need to deal with these dozen or so Thousand Rock Army soldiers.

"Sister Ying, I..."

Wu Qiu was being pulled along, feeling completely dazed and weak. He felt like his head was about to explode, and he had no idea what was wrong with him.

"Stop talking, hold on to me, let's rush in first."

After saying that, Ying pulled Wu Qiu's hand even tighter and sped up, heading towards the stone gate.

The dozen or so people coming towards them couldn't stop Ying at all. With a casual wave of her hand, a gust of wind swept through, blowing away all the Thousand Rock Army soldiers.

"Holy crap, do you even have the Eye of God?"

Seeing the elemental power, Fengshan Jueyun was quite surprised. He didn't see the Eye of God, but Ying could use the elements, so he assumed that Ying had hidden the Eye of God.

Ying didn't answer him. They had already broken through the encirclement, but many more Thousand Rock Army soldiers were chasing after them. It was clear that the stone gate was heavily guarded; they were incredibly lucky to have gotten in.

"Xiao Qiuzi, are you alright? Are you okay? How are you?"

Seeing Wu Qiu staggering as he ran, Ying asked with great concern. But when Wu Qiu looked up, Ying noticed that Wu Qiu's eyes gave off a different feeling.

To be precise, her eyes seemed to be separated. The left eye reminded her of the familiar Wu Qiu, while the right eye was very unfamiliar, resembling the cold Wu Qiu she had seen before.

"Sister Ying, I don't feel too good."

Wu Qiu's voice was trembling. He was in a half-awake, half-asleep state, limp and powerless.

Seeing that Wu Qiu was about to fall, Ying quickly stopped, reached out and pulled Wu Qiu behind her.

Carrying Wu Qiu on their backs, the group drove off. On their backs, Wu Qiu became dazed and eventually passed out, leaning against Ying.

When Wu Qiu awoke again, he saw the starry sky. The Fallen Star Plain—it was here again. Reaching this place meant Wu Qiu had been unconscious.

"system?"

Wu Qiu tried calling out, but it was just a trial. To his surprise, the void rippled, and then the system appeared.

"You're here again? I knew you'd be back soon."

The system's voice was still as obnoxious as ever. But Wu Qiu felt reassured by it, because once he saw the system, he would know the reason for the strange things happening to him.

"System, I..."

Wu Qiu was about to speak when the system interrupted him, saying, "I know what you're going to say, and I know why."

"why?"

Wu Qiu asked. The system was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Balance, change, this is a perfect change for you, but there's a problem."

"Change?" Wu Qiu didn't understand. The system nodded. "A perfect person shouldn't be too high or too low; moderation is true perfection."

"This is the perfect transformation, a transformation from the deepest and most essential level. If you are too kind, it will instill evil thoughts in you, gradually placing you between evil and kindness."

"This transformation is everything. And you, you are not ambitious, not hardworking, timid, and afraid of trouble. Other aspects are moderate, but in terms of consciousness and self-nature, you are too bad."

"So, this transformation began the moment you came into this world, the moment you became the one I chose. The worse you are, the more the opposite your consciousness will be. Don't you think that your other half, apart from being frigid, is more like a protagonist?"

Wu Qiu shook his head decisively and looked at the system, "You caused all this? But I don't want it to turn out like that!"

The system shook its head. "It's not about turning you into that. I already said it's about getting closer to him, but also about retaining some of your current self."

"That won't do either. Get him out of here right now." Wu Qiu firmly disagreed. He was joking; he wouldn't accept such a forced change, no matter how perfect it was.

"No, I already told you there was an accident."

Unexpectedly, the system decisively rejected the request. Wu Qiu felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this. "What? What's wrong?"

The system calmly replied, "When others were modified, they didn't have this situation as you. In fact, they wouldn't have noticed it, and the changes happened naturally."

"You, it's probably because you're too stupid and too one-dimensional, which makes it impossible for this consciousness to integrate. In the end, it can only stay there forcibly, and that's how this situation came about."

"What should we do then!" Wu Qiu rushed forward to grab the system. It's all his fault. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be suffering like this.

"Hey, hey, don't be impulsive." The system stepped back and then said, "Now you have two choices. The first is to try to change and completely integrate, otherwise it will continue to affect you and become more and more powerful."

"Second, find a way to seal him away or kill him. Of course, I can do that, but I can't help you with that. You'll have to find it yourself."

Before Wu Qiu could react, the system vanished. Just as quickly as when they first met, leaving behind only one sentence.

"It's not too difficult. The immortals in Liyue might be able to help you. Go find them yourself."

Wu Qiu, the forest is in chaos under the wind. Kill? Seal? Immortal?

What nonsense! I'm currently wanted, being hunted, and have just killed a Thousand Rock soldier. I'm a dangerous person in Liyue right now; if I run into a Celestial, my head might get crushed.

However, this is the only way for now. Moreover, in Wu Qiu's memory, the immortals don't seem to care about Liyue's affairs, so the death of a Thousand Rock soldier is certainly not something they would care about.

Furthermore, Wu Qiu felt no remorse whatsoever for the deceased Qianyan soldier. After all, he was just a bastard, a damned scoundrel who hadn't even been given a name despite appearing for so long; it was perfectly normal for him not to survive an episode.

Chapter 156: Wangshu Inn

Wu Qiu woke up, feeling weak and disoriented. Looking around, he realized they were no longer at the Stone Gate; it seemed they had escaped its boundaries.

"Sister Ying, where are we?"

On Ying's back, Wu Qiu asked. Ying turned around and saw that Wu Qiu was awake, smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, we are safe now. We are on our way to Liyue Harbor."

"But we should already be wanted. Is it okay for us to go to Liyue Harbor?"

Wu Qiu felt a little ashamed at this point. What he had just done had indeed caused a lot of trouble and put them in a passive position.

"Don't be so pessimistic. Although it's really wrong, I have to say you're still very handsome. I admire you."

Fengshan Jueyun came over and patted Wu Qiu on the shoulder. Paimon also put his hands behind his back and laughed, "Yeah, yeah, Xiao Qiu was so handsome back then."

Wu Xiang Feng Zai even said, "If you don't take action, I'll chop him up sooner or later."

Wu Qiu knew they were comforting her, and she was very touched. Looking around at her friends, she felt so grateful to have them.

But at that moment, Wu Qiu suddenly noticed something strange about the flow of elements around Ying. "Eh? Sister Ying, what's wrong?"

Without turning her head, Ying ran and said, "Did you notice? I touched the Geo Statue and now I've gained the power of the Geo element."

Upon activating the detection, Wu Qiu saw that Ying's strength had already reached level 35. To put it another way, this level would take others five or ten years to achieve, but Ying reached it in less than a year.

Furthermore, Luminous's combat power at this level is truly sufficient to hold her own against level 40 opponents. Of course, none of that matters; what's important is that Luminous can now wield both Geo and Anemo elements simultaneously.

That's pretty amazing. But Wu Qiu didn't want to think about any of that. His situation was very bad right now, and to alleviate it, he had to find an immortal.

The other side of his body constantly wanted to take control of Wu Qiu's body. All Wu Qiu could do was passively defend himself and prevent the other side from succeeding.

How long did I sleep?

Wu Qiu realized that Ying had actually touched the statue, meaning he must have been asleep for quite some time. Moreover, Ying seemed to have touched the statue behind the stone gate; if that was the case, then further ahead lay…

"It's been a day."

Fengshan Jueyun spoke, then pointed to the huge building in front of them and said, "Look, that's Wangshu Inn. We can rest there."

"Wangshu Inn?"

Wu Qiu remembered, he remembered this place, but he didn't remember it clearly. Because he rarely came here except for daily tasks.

But Wu Qiu had a feeling that there was something here that was worth noting. Or that he might run into someone.

It was morning, and they arrived at Wangshu Inn, at this enormous building. To Wu Qiu's surprise, it was incredibly large and incredibly tall.

The enormous trees and the ever-rising buildings amazed even Wu Qiu, who was used to seeing skyscrapers.

It was morning, and there weren't many people. They went up to the elevator. It was called an elevator, but it was really just a lift.

Slowly, the group headed towards the top of the Wangshu Inn. They were wanted criminals, and although they hadn't arrived here yet, it wouldn't be wise to be too conspicuous.
