Chapter 519A – Genuine Murder License

Hadn’t they come to a silent agreement to both deescalate the situation? How come he suddenly decided to kill? This change in direction was too sharp, so sharp that it almost broke a person’s waist! As everyone looked at the scene in a daze, they all felt an emptiness in their heads. Finally, after an unknown period of time, some people finally regained their composure.

They subconsciously trembled and started to step away. Watching for fun or anything, they had never been afraid of getting into big trouble. But, today’s events had surpassed the limits. If they continued to stay here they might be dragged into some disaster. At that time, they wouldn’t even have a chance to cry.

Of course it was best to leave first!

There was never a lack of smart people. Even if there were some who didn’t think of this first, as they saw those around them beginning to retreat one after another, they also followed them. In several breaths of time, the densely packed crowd was rapidly cleared out.

A guest who was staying at Dawnperch Hotel didn’t even return to his room; he directly fled the inn. He absolutely could not stay here any longer. While Heavenly Demon City’s Qi Family wasn’t a true noble family of the Demonic Path, their true strength was actually not any worse.

Qi Yunshu might not be heavily favored, but he was still a son of the Qi lineage’s main family with an incomparably honored status. With him being killed within the Qi Family’s own sphere of influence, what would they do about this?

Daoist Blackwhite trembled, no longer maintaining that light and warm demeanor. “You killed Qi Yunshu, you actually killed Qi Yunshu!”

This madman, did he not know that the Qi Family’s Old Ancestor very much favored this useless and idiotic grandson of his? Bastard, if you want to court death then don’t drag others in with you; you really deserve to die!

Qi Yunshu had died a miserable death. Although it wasn’t directly related to him, would the Qi Family think this way? The anger they vented would surely reach him. Now, his only way out was to kill this boy and use his head to trade for the Qi Family’s forgiveness.

Qin Yu had a calm expression. Since he chose to kill someone, he had naturally completed the preparations of accepting the following consequences. “I wanted to kill him so I killed him. What are you going to do about it?” He let go and the corpse fell to the ground.

This casual and carefree attitude…it was unbearable!

Daoist Blackwhite roared out loud, “You little beast, die!”

Bang –

A wild aura shot up into the skies and the ground began to crack and disintegrate. Countless rows of neatly lined flowers were ruined as they were smashed apart.

Qin Yu narrowed his eyes. This person was a bit strange but his strength was quite good. However, compared to Zhao Qianyuan, he was more than a little worse.

At this time, three ice cold killing intents suddenly burst out, locking onto Daoist Blackwhite. Daoist Blackwhite suddenly frowned and halted his movements. When he turned his head, his pupils shrank and he hurriedly restrained his aura.

True Demon Guards!

A cold sweat suddenly appeared on Daoist Blackwhite’s forehead. Even if the current throne of the Holy Palace was empty, the True Demon Guards were still the legitimate guards of the Holy King. To oppose the True Demon Guards was the same as offending the dignity of the Holy King. In other times the situation might be better, but these days the various influences within the Demonic Path had taken stances of striving towards the Holy Palace. If an incident were to occur at such a crucial moment, Daoist Blackwhite didn’t doubt that he would die an incomparably horrific death in order to placate the anger of the Holy Palace.

A True Demon Guard coldly said, “What are you doing?”

Daoist Blackwhite squeezed out a smile. “It’s a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding. I was just about to capture this villain. Three fellow daoists, please take a look. The son of the Qi Family Qi Yunshu was just killed by this villain right in front of me. His methods were brutal!”

Qi Family…

The three True Demon Guards furrowed their eyebrows but soon relaxed. “The Demonic Path will investigate this matter. You can draw back!”

In terms of cultivation, even if the three True Demon Guards joined forces they might not be Daoist Blackwhite’s match. But as the guards of the Holy King, they possessed a lofty status and thus they had the ability to do this.

A True Demon Guard stepped forward and cupped his hands together. He smiled, “Fellow daoist Yao Bin, we meet again.”

These three people were the ones who led him to the City Lord Mansion before.

Qin Yu cupped his hands together, “May I ask what you came for?”

The True Demon Guard said, “Today, the three of us are following orders to deliver you this paperwork and book.” His smile widened, “Congratulations fellow daoist Yao Bin, after today you are now a part of the Demonic Path. Allow me to congratulate you in advance, hoping you will shine ever brighter in the future!”

Daoist Blackwhite’s eyes widened. He finally realized why the Demonic Path was taking over the investigation for the accident. This was a privilege possessed by Demonic Path cultivators. Even if they committed a crime, they could only be punished by the Demonic Path; no one else could interfere. This was an incredibly overbearing and completely unreasonable stance, but it was exactly like this because the Demonic Path had the qualifications and energy to do so.

But, the attitudes of these three True Demon Guards seemed to be a bit too warm. Even when facing those of the Demonic Path, they should still retain a cool and lofty attitude. Could this Yao Bin have a unique status…? Daoist Blackwhite had a sudden premonition that Qi Yunshu had died in vain today.

To look at things another way, he was bound to attract a massive amount of trouble to himself because of Qi Yunshu’s death. As Daoist Blackwhite thought of this, he nearly cried. Things were going so well, so how did he manage to bump into something like this? This was such an unlucky year!

Qin Yu’s eyes flashed. He hadn’t heard this news yet so why did the True Demon Guards come so suddenly and at such an opportune time? His thoughts raced. But at the very least, this was beneficial to him. He calmly accepted the items and expressed his thanks.

The True Demon Guard glanced over Qi Yunshu’s corpse and his eyes flashed. “Fellow daoist Yao Bin, when Demonic Path cultivators are faced with danger, they have the right to kill in defense.” He paused and continued to say, “Of course, even if fellow daoist was in the wrong, as a disciple of the Demonic Path you still enjoy the right of immunity. You simply need to pay some spirit stones.”

This was the equivalent of a genuine murder license. And, it was one issued by the Demonic Path, one of the strongest and most tyrannical influences within the Land of Divinity and Demons.

No matter how he looked at it, it gave off a feeling as if he were in some kind of triad gang. But, he had to acknowledge that this feeling was extremely good. He smiled and said, “Thank you for the reminder, but I have no intention of compensating even a single spirit stone today.”

Since he wanted to display his strongest momentum, he would do so until the end. In any case, he had already offended the Qi Family so he didn’t fear deepening the feud between them.

The eyes of the True Demon Guard brightened. He informed Qin Yu that someone would lead him away in three days. Then, without anything else to say, he cupped his hands together and bid his farewells. The general idea was that both sides weren’t too familiar right now, so they would need to deepen their relations in the future.

Qin Yu sent the three people away.

Daoist Blackwhite didn’t say a single word. He grabbed the still-dazed Ma Congyun, picked up Qi Yunshu’s corpse, and left.

At this moment, Blackwhite was feeling even worse because he thought of something even more concerning. Offending a tyrannically strong junior wasn’t much at all and neither was offending a Demonic Path disciple. But with both facts added atop each other, that was offending a tyrannically strong Demonic Path disciple. Moreover, he was extremely young and seemed to possess incredible potential…just thinking of this left him uncomfortable.

Who knew how far that boy would be able to go in the future? He himself had considerable status in the Soul Burial Sect and the chances of him being punished weren’t too high. But even a 1% possibility left him feeling ill.

After sending off the three True Demon Guards, Qin Yu returned to the inn. Duan San’er fell to his knees, his eyes red as he cried, “Thank you my lord, thank you!” Duan San’er didn’t know what Qin Yu was thinking all this time, but from what he saw alone, Qin Yu had killed people in order to save him today, so how could he not be grateful?

As for whether or not the Qi Family would retaliate against him because of this, he no longer cared about that. Today his life had been picked up from the trash heap. Once he went back he would immediately arrange for his little sister to leave. If he stayed in Heavenly Demon City, the Qi Family shouldn’t investigate his little sister’s whereabouts; this was enough for him.

The empty and chaotic Dawnperch Hotel was in shambles. The manager’s complexion was ash white and there was a dazed expression on his face. Today, he wasn’t in the wrong and there was no way for Qi Yunshu’s death to be blamed on him.

But in this world, there was no such thing as absolute fairness. The Qi Family’s young master had died in a business he managed, so would he end up any better in the end?

The best possible result for him was for him to be chased out. After offending the Qi Family, he feared there was nowhere for him to stay in the future Heaven Demon City.

This was a lifetime of hard work. From the time he started as a young servant, how much pain had he suffered, and how many sins had he committed in order to reach his current status? But now it had all vanished in a single day. Moreover, he wasn’t by himself. He had a family that was counting on him to survive.

The manager looked at Qin Yu. He should hate this person. If it weren’t for him, how could he end up in such a situation? But he didn’t dare to. He said he would kill Qi Yunshu so he killed him, and nothing had happened to him in the end. Moreover, the manager was nothing but an old man with no authority and no power.
