"What?"
Qi Yao stood blankly on the spot, momentarily unable to react.
Not far away, the bearded man, firmly restrained in place, swallowed hard and asked in a trembling voice:
"Who... who exactly is Your Excellency?"
After this mysterious man appeared, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, making it impossible for him to struggle even slightly, and even speaking became extremely difficult.
His two subordinates were even worse, their entire bodies as stiff as iron, maintaining a bizarre posture of lunging forward, looking quite comical.
At this moment, even if the bearded man was dull, he could sense that something was wrong.
This man before him was simply too terrifying!
In this remote place like Qingyun Town, he had never encountered such a strong person.
Qi Yuan withdrew his gaze from the wooden tablet and glanced faintly at the bearded man.
"You are Xu Biao, the Black Tiger Gang leader?"
Xu Biao's heart skipped a beat, sweat began to bead on his forehead, and he said tremulously:
"Y-Yes, Senior, if you have any instructions, please just say it, I will definitely comply."
After confirming the mission target, Qi Yuan was too lazy to talk nonsense. With a casual tap, Xu Biao, the Black Tiger Gang leader who had been rampant in Qingyun Town for decades, exploded on the spot, shattering into a sky full of blood mist, leaving no bones behind.
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the novice mission. The System will begin repairing your Dantian and Meridians..."
Hearing the prompt in his ear, Qi Yuan didn't feel a sense of accomplishment from completing the mission, and even wanted to laugh.
If he hadn't guessed wrong, the unlucky guy lying in the grave was the real owner, and the real owner's name was also Qi Yuan.
As a result, due to some unknown error, the waste-to-Genius System that should have belonged to the real owner was bound to him instead.
And it was because the real owner didn't Awaken the System in time yesterday, nor did he receive the novice gift package, that he was easily killed by Xu Biao, and now grass has begun to grow on his grave.
According to the original plot, the real owner could have relied on the System to cheat his way to success, killing everyone in all directions, a typical cool novel protagonist, but now he died silently, truly tragic.
Thinking of this, Qi Yuan couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
Currently, this Pitfalls System is useless to him. He can only try to do some missions first to see if it can return to normal in the future.
Just as his thoughts were racing, a warm current flowed along his Meridians and spread throughout his body, gradually converging into his Dantian.
Qi Yuan was first stunned, and then immediately felt the changes in his body.
The strength of his Meridians seemed to be much stronger than before, able to carry more true Qi, and his Dantian Qi Sea had also been widened a lot, not inferior to a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator.
Good Guy, the System's reward is actually effective!
Confirming that these changes had no hidden dangers, a look of surprise couldn't help but appear on Qi Yuan's face.
Although he didn't need to Cultivate, the System still strengthened his own Dantian and Meridians, which was a disguised improvement in his Cultivation potential.
You should know that Physique was originally a kind of talent. He was originally a Genius with top-notch Aptitude, but now, after being strengthened by the System, he has reached a new level. It is really an unexpected surprise.
It seems that this stupid System is not entirely useless.
Although the process was a bit boring, the rewards are still very tempting.
After tasting the sweetness, Qi Yuan began to look forward to the next mission rewards.
Just then, a timid voice suddenly came from his ear:
"Thank you... thank you, Senior, for avenging my Brother..."
Qi Yuan turned his head and looked at the teary-eyed girl in front of him.
The original owner's younger sister was about thirteen or fourteen years old, dressed in plain clothes and a hairpin skirt, with a thin figure and pale skin due to malnutrition. Her eyebrows contained a hint of sadness, but she still couldn't hide her beauty, like an unopened beauty.
Seeing Qi Yuan's gaze, a blush immediately floated on Qi Yao's fair and tender face, and she lowered her head nervously, not daring to meet his eyes.
Although she herself had no Cultivation, she was, after all, born into a Xuanmen family, and she had the necessary insight. This mysterious expert killed Xu Biao, the Qi Refining Stage three Black Tiger Gang leader, on the spot with a raised palm, obviously not an ordinary Cultivator.
Especially the deep, pool-like temperament on the other party's body even gave her an impulse to worship.
Qi Yao vaguely had a premonition in her heart that the man in front of her was by no means ordinary, perhaps even more powerful than Qi Family's Foundation Establishment Realm Old Ancestor...
For Mortals, Foundation Establishment Realm is already like Immortals and Gods, an unattainable and great existence.
As for higher Realms, it is completely unimaginable.
"It's just a small effort, not worth mentioning."
Qi Yuan smiled faintly and said in a gentle tone, "Don't call me Senior, just call me Brother Qi."
According to the Urine of the Counterattack System, the original owner's younger sister is a key character. There will definitely be System missions about this little girl in the future, so it's right to Cultivate some feelings now.
Therefore, at the moment he confirmed that the original owner had completely died, he decided to take Qi Yao back to the Tai Xuan Holy Land and bring her completely under his control.
As a superior, he hates all uncontrollable variables.
Hearing this, Qi Yao was slightly stunned, hesitated for a moment, and then shyly called out, her voice as thin as a mosquito:
"Brother Qi... thank you..."
Qi Yuan nodded and casually solved the two Black Tiger Gang Miscellaneous fish who had been stunned by the Golden Core Stage might. His methods were clean and neat, without any procrastination.
He was able to stand out in the fierce competition and sit on the position of Holy Land Daozi, naturally not a soft-hearted person.
Even in the face of the weakest enemy, there can be no slightest slackness.
Cutting grass and roots can eliminate future troubles forever.
Just then, the System interface in front of Qi Yuan once again showed mission information.
"New mission: The Road to Escape (Difficulty: Four stars)"
"Mission description: After a thrilling and bitter battle, you defeated Xu Biao, the Qi Refining Stage three Black Tiger Gang leader, with a Mortal body, and embarked on the road of Cultivation again, but your act of killing Xu Biao is about to cause the Black Tiger Gang's crazy revenge..."
"Mission objective: Take your younger sister Qi Yao and escape Qingyun Town, and survive the Black Tiger Gang's pursuit"
"Additional reward conditions: Eliminate Li Hu, the Black Tiger Gang leader (Qi Refining Stage five)"
"Mission rewards: One hundred Counterattack points, five High Grade Gathering Qi Pill, two hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stone, open Epiphany function"
"Additional reward: Appropriately improve the host's inferior Spiritual Root Aptitude, obtain talent 【Pretending To Be A Pig To Eat A Tiger】"
Ah?
Listening and listening, Qi Yuan's expression gradually became strange.
This stupid System is as crazy as ever.
Obviously, ignoring the irrelevant mission descriptions in front, the focus of completing the mission is to achieve the "mission objective".
At this moment, the scene of himself being chased by a group of weak chickens who don't even have Cultivation has already begun to emerge in his mind.
Of course, the mission itself has no difficulty at all. Even for the sake of this reward to improve Spiritual Root talent, he will pinch his nose and do it.
But the question is, how can the Qi Refining Stage five Black Tiger Gang leader have the courage to chase after a Golden Core Perfection...
