And I Am the Great Figure

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Hooves flew, black robes billowing.

Chu Qing led his team out of the Imperial Capital, racing straight toward a small village a hundred li away.

There was an anomaly in that village that loved yanking off people's heads. It was extremely troublesome and bizarre.

But it was worth plenty of points.

Taking care of it would earn one hundred and twenty points.

As they rode:

Gray Robe Number One caught up to Chu Qing and said, "Sir, there's actually no need for you to work so hard clearing anomalies."

"Once these anomalies are cleared, new ones will emerge again before long."

"And the places where they appear are all in the countryside."

"Whether they are cleared or not does not make much difference."

Chu Qing shook his head. "I need points!"

"Points can be exchanged for cultivation resources, secret inheritances, even high office and generous pay."

"Why shouldn't I clear them?"

Number One quickly said, "But you've farmed too many points. People have started watching you."

"Sir, if you don't have anyone backing you, it would be best to keep a lower profile."

"Once you have points, use them quickly."

"Otherwise... trouble could easily arise."

Chu Qing chuckled. "Nothing will happen."

"Come on, keep clearing them!"

Number One fell silent.

The newly joined Gray Robes had flickering looks in their eyes, and no one knew what they were thinking.

Before long, they arrived at their destination—the village plagued by the anomaly.

The village was large, but it was silent inside.

Ropes hung across the sky above the village, each with a loop tied at its end.

They looked like hanging ropes.

Chu Qing swept his gaze across the crowd. "The usual rules. Prepare Golden Blood and probe the anomaly."

"Yes, sir!"
