Chapter 814: 489, The Defaulter
There are too many people who envy the Knights.
Those with a pure heart envy their romance and freedom, their determination and courage.
Those with ulterior motives envy their longevity that spans hundreds of years.
Generally, possessing others’ bodies always leaves so repercussions. Even if the possessed one is a B-Class expert, there will be so hidden risks, and the more tis it happens, the more accidents occur.
So rather than possess a master with a lifespan of a few decades, it’s better to possess a youth with a lifespan of several centuries.
Demigod cultivation can be lost; as long as the possessed body is B-Class, he can always recultivate.
Then he could indulge in a long youth of hundreds of years without restraint.
Possessing a Knight has been a fantasy for many in the Jindai family for a long ti, but it’s never been accomplished.
Now there seems to be hope.
Return countdown: 136:00:00.
This is the day agreed upon by Qing’s family and Jindai for the transaction of Officer Qing Mu.
At dawn, Qing Yi woke up in a small town outside Forbidden Zone No. 065. He got up and washed his face with cool water from the well, then stood mindlessly in a small courtyard he had bought not long ago.
It was very cold this winter, so cold that his nose turned red after washing his face.
He stood dazed for a long ti, then opened the courtyard door and walked out.
Outside, there were many soldiers in black combat uniforms standing. When Qing Yi ca out, everyone instinctively stood straight.
Like statues in front of the temple, guarding solemnly.
Qing Yi said, “Let’s go.”
After saying this, soone opened the car door for him.
The sound of hurried footsteps arose, nearly a hundred people boarded prepared black SUVs, which quickly sped towards Forbidden Zone No. 065.
Killing intent filled the air.
Jindai Yasuhara, the captive, was in the sa SUV as Qing Yi. Originally, Qing Chen was supposed to host this transaction, but he had been captured, so the Shadow replaced him with Qing Yi.
The internal factions of Qing’s family had complaints about the Shadow’s decision; after all, letting Qing Yi do this gave him an unfair advantage.
But at this critical mont, smart people knew the Shadow wasn’t in a good mood, and no one would choose to defy him now.
Everything would be discussed later.
Actually, many were gloating over Qing Chen’s capture, considering it beneficial that the Shadow’s loyal follower, the young Inspector supporting Qing Yi, was gone.
As the convoy set out, the outlaws in the town watched curiously.
Since Qing Yi arrived in town, more and more Qing intelligence personnel and combat personnel had gathered.
First, they arrested Jindai’s intelligence personnel, then imposed a curfew on the town, shooting anyone found walking the streets after 9 PM.
Initially, the outlaws in town found it hard to adapt.
After all, this was a famous Pinjin Grotto in the Central Plains Wasteland, bustling at night.
But later, everyone had to adapt.
As Qing Yi said, the town was full of bad eggs, criminals expelled from Federal City, and they’d get used to the curfew after dying once.
Soone gambling at night suddenly had Qing’s forces charge in and open fire.
Hookers soliciting clients at night were forced to operate during the day.
A haven for outlaws turned into a model town of law and order within two days.
It lacked only a certificate and a banner.
In that mont, self-proclaid free-spirited outlaws on the wasteland recalled the terror of being controlled by the consortium.
Now, Qing’s Living Hades were finally leaving…
…
…
The convoy reached the edge of Forbidden Zone No. 065.
After disembarking, they escorted Jindai Yasuhara deep inside.
Jindai Yasuhara said nothing.
Not that he didn’t want to speak, but he couldn’t.
Three days ago, Jindai spread the news that they had successfully captured Qing Chen and moved him to the secret military base where Officer Qing Mu was held, planning to make him raise pigs for Jindai.
This news caused an uproar.
While detained, Jindai Yasuhara overheard Qing’s combat personnel discussing the matter and mockingly comnted that Qing Chen had overestimated himself; before he could exchange for Qing Mu, he was captured as the new Qing Mu.
Hearing this, Qing Yi poisoned Jindai Yasuhara, rendering him mute.
The group went deeper until they stopped at a stone stele, where outlaws often conducted transactions. Surrounding it was scattered trash and the stench of feces.
No one knew how many deals had been completed here over the years.
“Enforce martial law,” Qing Yi said calmly.
Now, the youth’s face lacked the naivety and mock maturity it had at Autumn Leaf Courtyard; he had genuinely matured.
Like a true commander, he used his learned skills to quickly implent defenses nearby.
Soon, footsteps were heard from the north of the forest; over sixty people carrying Qing Mu on a stretcher erged slowly from the shadows.
Leading them was a Jindai intelligence officer in the Central Plains. He looked at Qing Yi and said, “I need to confirm whether Officer Jindai Yasuhara is authentic.”
Qing Yi stared at him, “Where’s Qing Chen?”
The intelligence officer smiled, “He has received his due punishnt, sent north to replace Qing Mu and raise pigs. I don’t know how long he’ll be there, maybe ten years, twenty years… or a lifeti. If you managed to take pictures together, you can cherish them. Otherwise, we might send you so photos to see how he’s doing.”
Qing Yi’s eyes turned red, not with tears, but with murderous intent.
The intelligence officer smiled, “Don’t be impulsive; this is Forbidden Zone. With your strength, you won’t be able to leave alive if you act recklessly.”
Qing Yi sneered.
Soone from deep in the forest asked, “What about my strength?”
A young man in black, wearing a black baseball cap, walked out. As he passed Qing Yi, he smiled and said, “Why waste words with them?”
Qing Yi wanted to say sothing but couldn’t.
In an instant, ti seed to beco viscous.
Everyone’s movents extended infinitely.
The leaves swaying in the cold wind beca like duckweed in water, slowly.
The widening eyes of the terrified Jindai intelligence officer, his shrinking pupils, all moved slowly.
Even the fear seed magnified tenfold.
The Shadow walked through the crowd, his slender fingers brushing across every Jindai intelligence officer’s neck.
Wounds slowly opened up, and blood from their arteries ford droplets in the air, splashing out.
But never reaching the ground.
Everyone beca amber in the ti stream.
Like insects trapped in resin falling from branches.
It was too terrifying, the power of ti displayed like this.
Completely powerless to resist.
This was the ultimate terror of Qing’s Shadow in rage, killing as casually as mowing grass.
Even easier than mowing grass.
The Shadow placed Qing Mu’s stretcher gently on the ground, saying softly, “Welco back ho, you’ve endured enough.”
The determination of Forbidden Zone No. 065 on breach of contract was powerful. Even though the Shadow hadn’t participated in the initial transaction, he was still deed a breacher.
But Qing Yi and the others, who had done nothing, remained unhard.
Words appeared on the stone stele suddenly.
“Forbidden.”
In the next mont, vines erupted from the ground, and poisonous insects from the Forbidden Zone buzzed their wings, attempting to bite the breacher with their sharp jaws.
However, the ti rule applied to them as well, and the Shadow left leisurely.
Walking farther and farther away.
“Take Officer Qing Mu ho, don’t kill Jindai Yasuhara. If Qing Chen doesn’t return, I’ll make sure Jindai family understands true cruelty.”
Vines missed, insects bit in vain, everything happened too late, only the Shadow remained unrestrained.
Coming and going as he pleased.
Unsure how long had passed, Qing Yi felt he had returned to normal.
Like a drowning man who had just co ashore, he breathed heavily, as if ti’s water had enveloped this place.
Qing Yi incredulously looked back at the direction the Shadow had disappeared and at the fallen mbers of Jindai.
Blood ford pools in the Forbidden Zone, leaving no one unscathed.
Before this, the Shadow had only ntioned Qing Yi to trade for Qing Mu, not that he would personally break the contract and kill.
Qing Yi had prepared himself, had asked his father for a master to blend into the crowd, planning to capture all Jindai mbers as ransom to bring Qing Chen ho.
This was the first ti the youth had asked his father for help, but it was unnecessary.
Who could have imagined the Shadow would personally intervene?
The master sent by Qing Yi’s father looked at the departing Shadow with apprehension, understanding the terror he had just experienced.
Like ordinary people observing a physics experint, rely an amusing spectacle.
Only true physicists understand the vastness of the world, vast to the point of existential questioning.
Thus, only this master truly appreciated their powerlessness against the Shadow.
A distance they could never close.
Qing Yi took a deep breath, “Lift Officer Qing Mu, retreat quickly. Notify our response units outside, the north can take action.”
Soon after, Jindai’s northern response units were ambushed by several Qing’s Family squads, each led by Shadow Candidates, attacking fiercely and viciously.
In just thirty minutes, nearly a company’s combat unit was eradicated.
Qing’s Shadow Candidates, seeming to compete for rit, fearing others would kill more than them.
Their initial task was to hunt Jindai B-Class experts, but waited over ten days without sighting any, growing anxious!
