Set up a funeral service team in a foreign land

Chapter 173: The Leech Clan; Qingyun's Challenge

At the same time, in Tolan City.

Next to a run-down tavern, Peggy the Eyed Moth sat stiffly opposite Ye Qiu Sheng, looking as if she wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Well... Boss, the crime of fraud is not punishable by death..." He clasped his hands together, "Really, I have changed my ways and become a moth again."

Ye Qiusheng glanced at him indifferently and placed the long sword he was carrying horizontally on the table: "I just want to ask, why are you in Tuolan City and why are you interested in the City Lord's Mansion?"

Peggy had not intended to reveal the financial sponsor, but the moment she saw the sword, she immediately sat up straight and confessed: "I was hired to investigate the whereabouts of the vampire Count Seren Argerich!"

Ye Qiu was slightly surprised. Who would hire a third-rate alchemist to investigate Seren's affairs?

"Who?"

"Xi Sui'an from your academy!" Sorry, big sponsor!

Ye Qiu Sheng's eyes moved slightly. Xi Sui'an, she would investigate this matter, most likely not just for Selren Argerich, what she really wanted to investigate was probably the Rosicrucian Society, and she actually found a connection with him.

"What did you find out?" He knocked on the table and asked in a calm voice.

Peggy's eyes turned, and after a moment of hesitation, she said, "I started from some channels in the underground black market and joined the outer circle of the Rose Cross. I learned from some other outer circle members that a director of their society is now in Tolan City. I thought it was a bit strange that the new mayor of Tolan City had never shown up, so I came here to try to investigate the mayor. Now, I am trying to find a way to enter the mayor's mansion to see if I can get in touch with the director of the society."

Peggy spoke honestly and didn't dare to do anything weird.

Ye Qiusheng groaned. As far as he knew, the Rose Cross Society had a president, a vice president, and five directors. No one had seen the president, and no one knew who he was. He had heard of the vice president, but he only heard that she seemed to be a very young girl, and her background was unknown.

As for the directors, one is the golden-haired flame collector Chi Yanhou who claims to be affiliated with the group, one is Talos, a magician specializing in history, one is Su Yan, a nightmare snow fox who has been offline for a long time and hibernating somewhere unknown, one is rumored to be Professor Ilowen's father and a follower of His Royal Highness the Prince back then, and the other is Tai Sui who has grown legs and runs around the world, but his appearance, name, age, and only his race are known.

I don't know which director is coming?

Ye Qiusheng pondered for a long time, then said slowly: "Have you found out any information about the identity of the new mayor of Tolan City?"

"No." Peggy said honestly, "But Minister Ye, let me guess, this city lord must be related to the Eternal Oath. Because some time ago, I heard that the ninth oath-taker Keshia appeared here, and Carlisle Nolan also showed up here. At the same time, some forbidden alchemists began to become active here. The activity was so abrupt and large-scale, which was unreasonable. It is very likely that one of the oath-taker was causing trouble.

"Secondly, alchemy, especially when it comes to life alchemy, requires guidance from alchemists of a certain level. At this time, a director of the Rose Cross Society appears in Tolan City..."

He was silent for a while, swallowed his saliva and said: "The Rose Cross Society... is in collusion with the Eternal Vow."

When thinking of the forbidden alchemist, Peggy couldn't help but feel a little emo, as he almost went astray back then.

He patted his chest with a feeling of sympathy, silently thanking his lucky stars that he had turned back to the right path and committed fraud to save his life.

Ye Qiusheng narrowed his eyes. It was the same as some of the information he had learned. This moth was good at collecting information. No wonder it could deceive more than 200 aliens.

Alchemist?... The Sixth Oathbearer Mu Qianji is an extremely talented alchemist. The directors of the Rose Cross Society, Chi Yanhou and You Suyan, are also alchemists. Although Talos is a magician, he also knows a lot about alchemy.

He thought for a moment and stood up with his sword in hand: "Let's go to the City Lord's Mansion to take a look."

"Oh, okay."

Peggy followed Ye Qiu Sheng and quickly went towards the City Lord's Mansion which was built of obsidian and looked magnificent and noble but lifeless. Just when they reached a corner of the City Lord's Mansion, Ye Qiu Sheng stopped suddenly. He looked up at the sky with a stern look on his face.

Peggy also stopped, feeling somewhat surprised at Ye Qiu's inexplicable tension. She also raised her head to look and suddenly uttered a Chinese quintessence.

"What the hell! Which warrior is so strong that he actually comes to ruin the show in broad daylight?!"

Above Tolan City, a man in a black robe was seen walking in the air, heading towards the City Lord's Mansion. The original pressure he exuded was hot and scorching. All the alien races immediately realized how powerful the newcomer was, so they hurriedly hid away and found a place to watch the show.

"Who is coming?!"

Dozens of foreigners dressed in tight clothes around the City Lord's Mansion reacted quickly, stood in front of the black-robed man and shouted coldly. At the same time, the runes on the winding city wall lit up faintly, as if accumulating power.

The black-robed man looked to the side, his eyebrows slightly raised: "He really got the city lord's seal..."

"In Tolan City, the most capable people will take the throne. I happen to be a little interested in the position of city lord, so I come here to challenge your city lord. Tell your city lord to come out. If he doesn't come out, I will have to scatter his ashes and the city lord's mansion together."

Peggy was stunned: "It's a woman? Which woman is so cruel?"

Ye Qiusheng grasped the long sword behind him and said indifferently: "Captain of the Freedom, Qingyun, the first on the red list of the Inspection Department."

"..."

Peggy hissed. Qingyun, number one on the red list? !

Among the top five on the red list, the fifth one is Siren Xileno, who disappeared after losing the battle for territory with the mermaids. His tracking level is actually not that high. It was the mermaids who used money to forcibly offer a reward to such a high level, so it’s a bit exaggerated.

The fourth on the red list is Carlisle Nolan, who defected from the vampire clan, turned against Damocles, and died a good death;

The third is Thorin, whose blood is wine and meat is forest. He has killed many humans and aliens. He deserves death, but it is not easy to kill him.

The second is Mu Qianji, a forbidden alchemist who defected from the human race. The reason why he is ranked so high is because they are worried that this heartless man will lead the forbidden trend and repeat the alchemy chaos during the Age of Strife.

This Qingyun, what did she do to surpass them and be ranked first? !

He couldn't help but be curious: "Minister Ye, what did this Captain Qingyun do to be hunted at such a high level?"

Ye Qiusheng pinched the bridge of his nose and said in a flat tone: "He founded the largest smuggling gang in the two realms and wiped out an entire race a hundred years ago."

Peggy's eyes widened in astonishment. How could a clan be exterminated in this era? How come he had never heard of such a tragic news?

"That race was quite famous during the Age of Strife. They once attacked and killed an Elf King, which caused some of the Elf tribe's subordinate tribes to rebel and attack each other. The Elf tribe was severely damaged and almost split. Afterwards, during the Age of Migration, the entire tribe went into hiding. The next time they became famous, they were tracked down and exterminated by Qingyun."

Peggy, who lacked some historical knowledge, swallowed her saliva and asked, "Which race is it?" How amazing! They could kill an Elf King! But this race should have offended the Elves, so how come Qingyun found them and killed them all?

Peggy smacked her head and felt that there were some big secrets involved. The waters were too deep and she couldn't get involved.

Peggy immediately shut up and didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Ye Qiusheng was silent for a long time.

Just when Peggy thought he wouldn't answer this question, Ye Qiu Sheng answered it.

"That tribe is called the Leech Tribe."

——————————————————————————————————————

Above Tolan City.

Qingyun took off his hood, revealing a bright yet cold face.

The tightly-dressed guards on the opposite side surrounded her. These aliens revealed their modified body parts, some with bone spurs with blood grooves, some with tail whips with feathers, and some with directly spliced ​​alien bodies. All of them looked hideous and ferocious, causing the aliens watching below to exclaim in surprise.

She frowned, suppressed the nausea that was rising up in her, and said indifferently, "Call your city lord out."

A guard sneered, "Can you meet our city lord whenever you want?"

Qingyun said in annoyance: "Then go to hell." What the hell is this? The aesthetics is so rubbish!

A golden light appeared in her eyes. She raised her hand and threw out a golden feather. The golden feather penetrated the guards' bodies. In an instant, the screams of several people in the front row disappeared as if they were vaporized.

Ignoring the terrified or fearful looks from the foreigners in all directions, she glanced coldly at the City Lord's Mansion. Her gaze suddenly stopped at a certain point, and she couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"...Damn it, I should have read the divination before going out."

She looked away, and her calm voice penetrated Tolan City: "Mu Qianji, I know you are here, get out."

A gray-haired old man walked out of the City Lord's Mansion. His face was gloomy. The formation under his feet flickered and he appeared in the air in an instant.

Peggy's eyes lit up: "Great! It's Talos, the weakest member of the Rosicrucian Society!"

Talos recognized the person and said in an old voice with a hint of advice: "It turns out to be Captain Qingyun. I advise you not to cause trouble here. It will not benefit you."

Qingyun rolled his eyes and said, "Get out of the way. I don't want to beat the old, weak, sick, and disabled."

"..."

Talos's face turned pale instantly, followed by a series of unrestrained laughter.

“Hahahahaha! Really…Captain Qingyun, seeing is believing!”

Laughter came from the Obsidian Tower. Qingyun lowered her eyes and looked over, only to see a handsome man with long black hair sitting on the top of the tower, supporting his chin with one hand and flipping a scarlet carving knife with the other. He looked at her with a smile that had not yet faded.

"Interesting, I didn't expect Captain Qingyun to be the Sun-Crazy Crow."

Peggy's pupils shrank slightly as she followed Ye Qiusheng in hiding. She took a deep breath and said, "The top-level second-level mythical creature, the Sun Crow that is most friendly to the origin of light?!" Qingyun, who has been wandering in the Lost Sea for many years, is actually the Sun Crow? !

Ye Qiu Sheng looked at Qing Yun for a few seconds, as if thinking about something.

Qingyun looked at the young man on the top of the tower indifferently: "Mu Qianji, it is you."

Mu Qianji waved the carving knife at her and smiled: "Your third leg hasn't grown out yet, right? It must be very uncomfortable to degenerate into a Sun Crow, right? Do you want me to help you?"

Three-legged, degenerated, the Red Crow of the Sun... the Three-legged Golden Crow?

Peggy was slightly stunned when she thought of this. She seemed to have heard this name somewhere before. Suddenly, a ballad that she had heard Daniel, the cemetery singer from the Holy Cemetery, sing in her mind reverberated.

"You wake up in the morning light,

"Spreading wings on the branches of the hibiscus tree;

"You sleep in the twilight,

"Rest on the branches of the young tree.

"The fire of the Vermillion Bird burns away all evil spirits.

“The true meaning of the Phoenix is ​​never perfect.

“Mother God gives you the most sincere blessing:

"Child, I wish you were a sun,

"There is no shadow beneath your wings,

"You will weave your own destiny."

What was the name of this ballad? Peggy recalled in a trance that Daniel said it seemed to be called a birthday song. He specially adapted it three times and the final version was called...

"Sun Blessing!" Peggy's mentality was a little broken. She held the wall to cover her mouth as she wanted to scream, "The three-legged golden crow... it's the bloodline of the gods!"

Qingyun is the bloodline of the gods? ! !

No, how could she, who has the blood of gods and the three-legged golden crow, who has the talent to become a god, end up being a smuggler and being hunted by the Inspection Department? ! She also drifts on the Lost Sea all day long. He has never seen anyone with wings who is so fond of water! !

“Did you hear that? Golden Crow! My ancestors have never seen the Golden Crow!” Peggy excitedly pulled Ye Qiu Sheng’s sleeve.

Ye Qiusheng pulled back his sleeves and said coldly: "Oh."

So what if it's the bloodline of gods? There's a god living in the academy, and there's a bunch of gods' mountains in the Eternal Oath. What's so strange about that?

"The first priority now is to find Seren Agrich." Qingyun dragged Mu Qianji.

He turned around, took out a mini pickaxe and smashed the obsidian wall. With the naked eye, the obsidian quickly lost its luster and then collapsed silently.

"......?" Peggy came back to her senses from her shock and excitement and looked at Ye Qiu Sheng holding a small hoe with a confused look on her face.

He blinked. “What is this?”

"You are an alchemist, and you ask me what this is?" Ye Qiu Sheng put away the small pickaxe, turned around and tapped the wall. Good, no alarm was triggered.

He watched Ye Qiusheng pass through the wall, somewhat speechless: "Which alchemist would turn a soul-dissolving device into a small hoe? Is Damocles' alchemy system so amazing?"

He couldn't help but sigh, scratched his hair, and resigned himself to following him into the City Lord's Mansion.

In mid-air, Qingyun curled his lips and said, "Oh, I can't afford your help. Mu Qianji, let's have a fight. If I win, give me Seren Argerich so that I can report to my employer."

Mu Qianji put his fist to his lips to hide his unpredictable smile: "You are quite confident. Hey, I didn't want to fight you, after all, there is no need, but since I am here, how can I let you make a wasted trip."

"Come on," he waved and said with a smile, "maybe you can give me some inspiration."

"..."

Qingyun frowned slightly. What did he mean? She always felt like there was something else behind his words. Was there something she had overlooked?

No matter what, Ye Qiu Sheng has already entered the City Lord’s Mansion. Talos alone is no match for him, so she just needs to restrain Mu Qianji.

Complete the task quickly and go back to see what happened to Zhong Heng.

There seemed to be a rising sun in her eyes, with a bright and burning light.

The original power continued to gather, the sun seemed to be pulled, the dazzling sunlight converged on her, her figure gradually disappeared in this pure sunlight, and the entire Tolan City was illuminated with brilliant light.

"Then, I'm welcome!"

A small sun crashed towards the Obsidian Tower from mid-air, with a strong intention of destruction!

Mu Qianji leaned over and slapped the Obsidian Tower with his palm, a very strong smile on his face: "Let's see who will win, light or darkness..."
