Chapter 288 Looking down at the sparks below "Is Zhou Qing okay?" Seeing wisps of black air coming out from Zhou Qing's head, Xiao Wu became very worried. “That should be a good thing.” Tang San could sense that Zhou Qing's soul power had calmed down. It should be because he had refined the dragon Gu. He breathed a sigh of relief and was happy for him at the same time. Wave! Suddenly, Zhou Qing's soul power surged, creating a gust of strong wind. "Soul power has increased by one level!" Tang San was surprised. He didn't expect that after Zhou Qing refined the dragon poison, his soul power also had a breakthrough and reached level 18! “I didn’t expect this to be a blessing in disguise.” Zhou Qing opened his eyes and chuckled. The increase in soul power is just a side effect. The real benefit is obtaining the Nine-Turn Age Dragon Gu.
That Gu has become a part of his martial soul's blood circulation system, or in other words, it has become another martial soul nurtured within his martial soul. The innate ability of the dragon Gu can be summarized in one word: change! It means to refine! Every time the dragon poison flows through the body and lungs with the blood in the martial soul of the blood circulation system, it completes an extraction, which can strengthen the qi and blood and purify the soul power. However, the properties of the Dragon Gu were a little beyond Zhou Qing's expectations: time. However, this time ability cannot be used on external objects. Currently, it can only be used to save time, allowing the Nine-Turn Time Dragon Gu to complete its evolution faster and strengthen the Nine-Turn Time Dragon Gu's talents. Although the Nine-Turn Time Dragon Gu has nine turns, it is only one turn at the moment it is refined. If you want to truly complete the nine turns, you still have to rely on time to experience it. That’s why it is called “years”. But Zhou Qing felt that the two sentences he heard from the dark, "The nine transformations of the dragon poison prove the years! The heart has a spirit and casts the holy court!", may have a deeper meaning... "You are really lucky." Xiao Wu put her hands on her hips and said with a smile. “Maybe the dragon Gu was circling in the air just now to choose whose martial soul is more suitable for it, and Qing Ge’s martial soul is the blood circulation system, and the heart in it can just be its place of nourishment, otherwise it may dissipate into nature.” Tang San thought of a possibility and brought it up, “However, this Hu Fangyuan is really pathetic, his ancestors worked hard for more than two hundred years, and in one day it was all in vain, even his martial soul was lost, and he was just making wedding clothes for Qing Ge.” But the smile on Zhou Qing's face quietly disappeared. Looking at the half-human, half-insect corpse, he sighed, then pulled himself together and said to Tang San: "Okay, you can put him away now." Tang San's smile suddenly froze, but he could only step forward, curl up Hu Fangyuan's body, and put it into Yue Ziming on the twelfth floor. "What should we do with the bodies of these four women?" Xiao Wu asked, "Why don't we take them out and bury them? It's pitiful to leave them here." "No, this is evidence." After Tang San collected Hu Fangyuan's body, he shook his head and said, "After we get out, we will directly find the local martial spirit branch hall and lead them here - the Fallen can be said to have fled for fear of crime, but the bodies of these four women are enough to prove that Dales and the Fallen are in cahoots!" “That being said, I’m afraid the Spirit Hall won’t be able to bring Darles to justice.” Xiao Wu now understands the cooperation method between the Spirit Hall and the two empires. In Douluo Continent, every city and town with a name has a corresponding Spirit Hall. Its main responsibilities are to awaken the spirits of civilians and deal with conflicts between spirit masters, but it cannot directly intervene in the city’s public security and management projects. Even if Dales really colluded with the Fallen, as the city lord and also a baron, the Spirit Hall has no power to take him down, otherwise it would be an infringement of the dignity of the Star Luo Empire. If the high-level officials of the Xingluo Empire were to conduct a thorough investigation of this matter, it would probably take quite a while—enough for Darles to clear all the relevant evidence. "It seems to be true." Tang San frowned and looked at Zhou Qing.
"Take them out, send them back to their hometown first, and bury them." Zhou Qing was silent for a while, then said quietly, "It has now been confirmed that Darles is the direct murderer of my biological parents, but I don't want him to die so easily... I said I want him to die over and over again." At this moment, both Tang San and Xiao Wu felt a chill down their spines. Both of them could understand, especially Tang San. If he found the murderer who killed his mother, he would want to cut him into pieces to relieve the hatred in his heart. But Zhou Qing's fundamental purpose is not revenge... The three men covered the four women and their unborn children in quilts and did not return the same way they had come. Instead, they walked along the passage that Hu Fangyuan had come from. Zhou Qing guessed that this secret room could not have only one exit, the same as the one they came in through. as predicted. The three of them groped forward, and two hours later, they saw the light ahead. They immediately quickened their pace and ran out. Outside the cave entrance is a dense jungle. Looking back, I saw a hillside covered with green vines. The three men gently placed the woman's body on the ground, climbed up the hillside, and looked around. At this time, the night was already dark, but in the Falling Star City one kilometer away, the downtown night scene was brightly lit, and the rest of the dim areas also seemed to have a few sparks, as if the stars in the sky had fallen to the earth to embellish the darkness. "It seems that this is a secret passage leading out of the city." Tang San suggested, "Let's put the bodies of the four women in the passage first, and then go back to Falling Star City to take a look?" "Alright." Zhou Qing agreed, and together with Xiao Wu and Tang San, they went down the hillside, moved the four women's bodies into the cave entrance, and sprinkled insect repellent powder and some medicinal powder with a pungent smell on them to prevent them from being taken away by wild animals in the nearby woods. Why not put it in the Moonlight on the twelfth floor? The half-human, half-insect corpse could curl up like an insect or a snake and barely fit into half a cubic meter of space, but the bodies of the four women could not do that. Moreover, there were four fetuses in their opened bellies, so they could not curl up at all. If they were to be forced into the other half cubic meter of space in Yue Ziming's room on the twelfth floor, the corpses would probably be distorted beyond recognition. In Falling Star City, Darles found an excuse to withdraw his troops before sunset, and persuaded Romantina and Youhui to continue searching tomorrow, and invited them to his house for dinner. Romantina naturally refused, saying that the mission was more important, and left with Youhui. Darles was a little helpless, but he couldn't force him to stay. As night fell, apart from the night market, other streets were lit up with sparks. A small number of residents in the city, tacitly understanding each other, started digging roads at a distance. What Ning Rongrong did during the day aroused the greed in people's hearts. It can be predicted that these are only the first group of people tonight. On the second and third nights, more people will not be able to hold back and will join in, digging up roads and searching for soul crystals in order to become rich overnight. Jian Douluo flew on his sword, standing in the air with Ning Fengzhi, looking at the sparks below, and sighed: "That Zhou Qing is really amazing! I thought that the people in this city would hold back for a few days before taking any action, but I didn't expect that they would actually start digging the road tonight." "They have worked hard for food and clothing all their lives. It would be strange if everyone could hold back tonight!" Ning Fengzhi lowered his eyebrows and looked down at the lights below, as if he saw through human nature. (End of this chapter)
