Chapter 0017: A murderer is always killed

Not long after Qin Wen returned to Eagle Mountain, the pill picking teams came back one after another, it looked like the harvest was not bad, everyone had a smile on their face. The disciples who were in charge of the guards also more or less got some bargains, sharing a few low-grade spirit herbs.

No one paid any attention to Qin Wen, and Qin Wen was too lazy to bother with them, so he sat by the iron barrel by himself, nibbling dry food and enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Cloud Luo Forest.

That night, eleven of the fifteen pill gathering teams returned, and there were still four who didn't return, including Qiao Chen and Zhao Min, who would never return.

Picking herbs would always be dangerous, and every student was psychologically prepared for that. There were also casualties in those eleven teams that returned, nine disciples were killed in the forest and their bodies could not be recovered.

"Zhao Min hasn't returned yet? Who was she with?"

"I remember she was with Qiao Chen."

"It's still our elder brother Qiao Chen, who is happy, picking medicine and having a beautiful woman with him. I think he doesn't come back on purpose, one more day together is one more day, haha."

"Just wait a little longer, he should be back soon."

At night, a bonfire was lit at the top of the mountain, and the Pill Mountain disciples gathered individually to count the harvest of each group. They had gone out on a mission, and they had to bring back at least ten baht of mid-grade spirit herbs, preferably moved with their roots and soil, and at least one hundred low-grade spirit herbs and spirit fruits. If they failed to fulfill the requirements, they would be chastised upon their return, and if they were able to fulfill the task in excess, they would receive a special reward.

As the guardian disciples gathered to talk and laugh while enjoying a delicious dinner, a female disciple greeted Qin Wen with a smile, "Hey, Qin Wen, would you like to sit here?"

Qin Wen opened his half-asleep eyes and shook his head, still confused.

"We are curious about how you broke through to the Spirit Martial Realm, come over and tell us about it? I'll reward you with a piece of meat." A male disciple also shouted at Qin Wen.

"Are you really a Spirit Martial Triple Sky? Do you want to spar with me? I promise I won't hit you too hard."

"Come on, I'll give you a seat."

"I'm quite interested in this kid, a young city lord who has been a servant for eight years, he really can endure. Do you think he is truly free, or is he a dark person holding back his energy to take revenge in the future?"

"It's hard to say. Hey, Qin Wen, come here, let me ask you something, do you hate the Qing Yun Sect?"

The crowd of disciples became interested and greeted Qin Wen.

Qin Wen pulled the corners of his mouth and laughed silently, he stood up and straightened his clothes, people thought he was going to go over there, but he walked straight down the mountaintop and went to rest elsewhere.

The next day, one of the herb gathering groups returned, but they still hadn't waited for Qiao Chen's group and the other two groups.

Some of the disciples began to get restless, so some of them stayed behind and continued to wait, while some of them went to the nearby mountains to look for them.

After searching for two days and two nights in a row, they were actually able to find some bodies, it was the guardian disciples in one of the groups, only small 'parts' of the body were left, none of which could be seen in their original form. But the other pill picking group and Qiao Chen's group were still finding bodies, not even corpses.

"Could they have been killed?" They had to think the worst, could it be that they ran into a mercenary team and were robbed and killed? Or were they being hunted by spirit demons?

Under normal circumstances, mercenary teams would not dare to mess with the disciples of the Qing Yun Sect, but it could not be ruled out that there would be exceptions.

If they were unlucky enough to run into a powerful spirit demon, they might be killed as well.

In the past, this type of situation had often occurred during the medicine gathering, but in recent years, with the frequent deterrence of the elders, it rarely happened.

This time, three groups were killed at once, making the disciples very uncomfortable, especially since Zhao Min, a special personal disciple, was among them.

Still, they didn't dare to give up easily, so they spread out and continued searching for two days. They really found the bodies of the other group of the medicine harvesting team, they couldn't tell if they were hunted by spirit demons or robbed and killed by mercenaries, and finally they found the body of the "Double Sword Disciple" in Qiao Chen's group.

...

Three days later, the medicine harvesting team returned to Green Cloud Sect, bringing back a lot of spiritual medicines and the news of Zhao Min and the others' deaths.

No one suspected Qin Wen, because outsiders didn't know about the feud between Zhao Min and Qin Wen, let alone Qin Wen's strength.

The first thing Qin Wen did when he returned to Qing Yun Sect was to go to the bottom of the cliff next to Medicine Mountain to see if the Snake Heart Fruit was still there.

The cliffs were full of green vines, thick vine leaves full of green color, hiding many poisonous snakes and pythons.

The Snake Heart Fruit was still there, hidden in a hidden corner.

The Asura Sword in the Qi Sea vibrated slightly once again, releasing a misty black mist that enveloped the Qi Sea and the air, spreading silently and seemingly reminding Qin Wen.

Qin Wen suddenly wondered why the Asura Blade was telling him to be wary of the Golden Serpent. This didn't happen when he encountered other powerful spirit demons in the forest.

The Golden Snake reappeared, wrapped itself around the Snake Heart Fruit, and swallowed its fishy red snake letters toward Qin Wen.

Qin Wen stared at it for a while, then suddenly summoned two flying daggers and threw them at the golden snake.

The flying daggers were powerful and spun rapidly, oohing and aahing.

The golden snake opened its mouth and spat out two streams of golden light, intercepting them with precision, and with two crunching sounds, the golden light unexpectedly shattered the flying daggers, scattering a large amount of tiny fragments all over the sky.

"Hiss!"

The golden snake's entire body flashed with golden light as it swallowed its snake characters towards Qin Wen, seemingly very angry.

Qin Wen narrowed his eyes and watched as, without saying a word, he struck out another flying dagger, this time using his full power to fly in a straight line as fast as a thunderbolt.

The golden snake hissed and spat out a dazzling golden light, catching it in midair and smashing the flying dagger once again.

However, this time, the flying daggers were obviously propelled against the golden light for a short distance before being shattered.

Qin Wen made a calculation in his heart, he was no match for the Golden Serpent now, so he would come back another day. He retreated into the dense forest and followed the rough path back to the camp.

First, he cleared the weeds and leaves from the lonely tomb in the courtyard and watered the magnolias there, then he hid in the back of the mountain and began to formally study the Purple Electricity Crazy Snake.

Qin Wen had a strong sense of enlightenment, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to figure out the first three levels of Vajra Strength on his own.

Even though the Purple Electricity Crazy Snake was complicated, it was not difficult for him to defeat it.

At nightfall, Qin Wen was deep in research when a sudden burst of chaos came from the camp.

Zhao Lie angrily burst into the warehouse, shouting Qin Wen's name: "Get out! Qin Wen, get out!"

While shouting, he smashed the things in the warehouse, crackling like a mad wild dog.

"Qin Wen! Get out or I'll set fire to your warehouse!"

"Get out! Get the hell out!"

Zhao Lie's hands were ablaze with flames as he shouted hoarsely, his eyes full of blood and his expression hideous.

"Looking for me for what?" Qin Wen pushed open the iron gate and frowned at the chaotic courtyard.

"Qin Wen! Where is my sister?" Zhao Lie pointed at Qin Wen and shouted.

"Dead."

"How did she die, was it you?" Zhao Lie's emotions were a bit out of control as he shouted regardless.

"Watch what you say."

"It was you! It's definitely you! My sister went to kill you, the person who died in the forest was supposed to be you, why did you come back? Ah, answer me. How did you come back, where is my sister?"

Qin Wen laughed angrily, "It's only right to kill me? I deserve to die?"

"You deserve to die, you deserve to die! Tell me, what exactly happened in the forest?" Zhao Lie's eyes glowed red, he almost collapsed when he heard the news of his sister's death. He had very average talent, and it was all thanks to his sister that he was where he was today, and she was his dependency, and all of a sudden she was dead?

Zhao Lie couldn't accept it at all, the reason his sister went to participate in the medicine picking operation was actually to export her anger, to find a chance to kill Qin命 in the forest, and to waste it even if she couldn't kill him. However, the one who returned turned out to be Qin命, and his sister died for no apparent reason.

No one suspected that it was Qin Man's fault, but he was very sure that the matter had something to do with Qin Man.

"You should be glad that you didn't join the medicine picking team." Qin命 coldly snorted, the siblings were the same!

"It's you! It really is you! Say what happened! Say it! Is my sister dead or not, you bastard!" Zhao Lie lunged at Qin Man like a madman.

Qin Man grabbed him by the neck and held him up in the air, "You should thank me, if it wasn't for me, your sister would have died a horrible death.

Zhao Lie struggled violently, "What did you do to my sister!"

"Dead!" Qin命 choked him and threw him out, snickering, "If your sister came back alive and I died in the forest, would you drink to celebrate?" Qin Man's eyes were cold.

Zhao Lie struggled to stand up, "Qin命! You will not die well! My sister is Elder Chu Hua's favorite disciple, if you kill her, Elder Chu Hua won't spare you."

"Don't spit blood, I haven't admitted to killing anyone, and besides, why would I kill your sister?" Qin Ming asked him back.

"You understand in your heart!"

"Hehe, I don't quite understand."

"My sister, Pill Mountain Qiao Chen, and the other three disciples, they must all have died at your hands, Qin命, you'll die a miserable death, we'll see." Zhao Lie left angrily.

Qin命 reached out to stop him, "A word to you, those who kill will always kill. You, take care of yourself."

"Get out of the way! I will definitely avenge my sister!" Zhao Lie pushed Qin Man's shoulder away and turned around several times before walking away, looking at Qin Man with resentment in his eyes.
