The Contract Breaker
Many people envy the knight.
Those who retain a childlike heart admire their romance and freedom, their perseverance and courage.
Those with petty minds envy their lifespans of hundreds of years.
Generally speaking, possessing someone else's body will always have some aftereffects. Even if the person being possessed is a B-Class expert, there will still be some hidden dangers. The more times you possess someone, the more unexpected things will happen.
Therefore, it is better to possess a young person with a lifespan of several hundred years than to possess a master with a lifespan of several decades.
A demigod's cultivation can be lost, but as long as the body he possesses is at least B-Class, he can cultivate back to his former self sooner or later.
Then you can enjoy hundreds of years of youth without restraint.
Possessing a knight's body is something many members of the Kamishiro Family have always dreamed of, but have never actually accomplished.
Now it seems there is finally hope.
Return countdown: 136:00:00.
This was the date agreed upon by the Qing clan and the Shindai for the transaction of Qing Mu.
Early in the morning, Qing Yi woke up in a small town outside the Forbidden Zone 065. He got up, washed his face with the cool water from the well, and then stood in the small courtyard he had recently bought for a while in a daze.
This winter was so cold that his nose turned red after he washed his face.
He stood there in a daze for a long time, then pushed open the gate to the small courtyard and walked outside.
Many soldiers dressed in black combat uniforms were already standing outside the door. When Qing Yi came out, everyone subconsciously straightened up.
Like a sculpture standing guard before a temple.
Qing Yi said, "Let's go."
After he finished speaking, someone opened the car door for him.
The sound of hurried footsteps rang out, and nearly a hundred people boarded the prepared black SUVs, which then sped off towards Forbidden Zone 065.
A murderous aura emanated from them.
The captured Kamishiro Jingbian was sitting in the SUV that Qing Yi was in. Qing Chen was captured, so the person in charge of the transaction was replaced by Qing Yi.
The factions within the Qing clan had reservations about Shadow's decision, since having Qing Yi do this was tantamount to giving Qing Yi some advantages for no reason.
But at this critical juncture, any smart person knows that Shadow is in a bad mood, and no one would choose to go against any of his decisions at this time.
We'll talk about everything later.
In fact, many people were gloating over Qing Chen's arrest. After all, Young Inspector loss of this trusted confidant and supporter of Qing Yi was a good thing for them.
As the convoy set off, the outlaws in the town stared at it with curiosity.
Since Qing Yi arrived in the town, more and more of the Qing clan's intelligence and combat personnel have gathered here.
First, they searched for and arrested the intelligence agents of the Shindai clan. Then, they imposed a curfew on the town. After 9 p. m., the Kei clan's troops would shoot and kill anyone they found walking on the street.
At first, the outlaws in the town were a little unaccustomed to it.
After all, this was a notorious den of iniquity in the entire Central Plains wilderness, and it was most lively at night.
But later, everyone had to adapt.
In Qing Yi's words, anyway, the people in this town are all bad news. They all came here because they committed crimes in the federal cities. They'll get used to the curfew once they die.
Someone was gambling at night when suddenly Qing's troops rushed in and fired a burst of gunfire.
Those brothels that used to solicit customers at night are now forced to operate during the day.
What was originally a playground for outlaws was transformed into a model town for public safety and civility in just two days.
All that's missing is a certificate of merit and a banner.
Only at this moment do these outlaws, who pride themselves on living a carefree life in the wilderness, recall the fear of being controlled by conglomerates.
Now, those living devils of the Qing family are finally gone...
The convoy arrived at the edge of Forbidden Zone 065.
After a group of people got off the vehicle, they escorted Kamishiro Jingbian deeper into the area.
Kamishiro Jingbian remained silent.
It's not that I don't want to talk about it, it's that I can't.
Three days ago, Shendai leaked information to the intelligence community that he had successfully captured Qing Chen and taken him to the secret military base where Qing Chen Qing Mu originally located, intending to have him help Shendai raise pigs.
The incident caused an uproar.
When Kamishiro Jingbian was being held captive, he overheard some of the Kei clan's combat personnel discussing something and casually mocked Qing Chen for overestimating himself. Before he could even be replaced as Qing Mu, he himself was captured by Yasube and made the new Qing Mu.
Upon hearing his sarcasm, Qing Yi poisoned him, rendering him mute.
The group ventured deeper and deeper into the area, finally stopping in front of a stone tablet. This was the place where all the outlaws made their deals, and the surrounding area was littered with garbage and reeked of excrement.
I wonder how many people have completed irrevocable transactions here over the years.
"Martial law," Qing Yi said calmly.
The boy's face now showed less innocence and naivety compared to when he was at the Autumn Leaf Villa, and less of the comical pretense of maturity. Instead, he had truly matured a lot.
He acted like a true commander, utilizing his acquired skills to quickly deploy defenses in the vicinity.
Not long after, footsteps came from the north side of the woods, and more than sixty people carried Qing Mu on a stretcher, slowly emerging from the shadows of the woods.
The person in charge was one of the intelligence officers from the Kamishiro clan in the Central Plains. He looked at Qing Yi and said, "I need to confirm whether Commander Kamishiro Jingbian is indeed himself."
Qing Yi kept staring at him, asking, "Where's Qing Chen?"
The intelligence chief laughed, "He has received his due punishment, replacing Qing Mu in raising pigs in the north. I don't know how long he'll be doing it, maybe ten years, maybe twenty... or maybe a lifetime. I wonder if you had a chance to take a group photo. If you did, you can remember him in the picture. If not, perhaps we'll send you some photos in a while so you can see how he's doing now."
Qing Yi's eyes were bloodshot, not from the redness of tears, but from the redness of murderous intent.
The intelligence chief laughed and said, "Don't be impulsive. This is Forbidden Zone. With your strength, if you make a move, you definitely won't be able to leave alive."
Qing Yi sneered.
From deep within the woods, someone asked, "And what about my strength?"
A young man dressed in black and wearing a black baseball cap came out. As he passed Qing Yi, he smiled and said, "Why waste time talking to them?"
Qing Yi wanted to say something, but couldn't get the words out.
In an instant, time seemed to suddenly become viscous.
All of everyone's movements are stretched infinitely over time.
The leaves, swaying in the cold wind, began to move slowly, like duckweed floating on water.
The eyes of the intelligence chief of the Shindai, widening in fear, and the pupils contracting, all happened so slowly.
It was as if the fear itself had been magnified dozens of times.
The shadow walked through the crowd, his slender, long fingers brushing across the necks of each of the Divine Era's intelligence agents.
The wound slowly reopened, and the blood spurting from the members of the God Era due to the pressure inside their arteries condensed into droplets in the air and sprayed outwards.
But it never manages to land.
Everyone has become amber within time.
It's like rosin falling from a branch and trapping an insect inside.
It was all terrifying; the immense power of time was being displayed right before our eyes.
They were completely unable to fight back.
So this is the ultimate terror of the Qing Clan's Shadow in a fit of rage: killing people like mowing grass.
It's even easier than mowing the lawn.
Shadow gently placed Qing Mu's stretcher on the ground and said softly, "You've worked hard. Welcome home."
The judgment of breach of contract in Forbidden Zone 065 is the power of the rules. Even if the shadow had not participated in the transaction before, it was still judged as a breacher at this time.
Meanwhile, Qing Yi others, who had done nothing, remained unharmed.
Suddenly, words appeared on the stone tablet.
"Ban."
The next moment, vines burst forth from the ground, and the poisonous insects in the Forbidden Zone flapped their wings and buzzed, trying to bite the violator with their sharp mouthparts.
However, the rules of time still applied to them, and the shadow chuckled and turned to leave.
They walked further and further away, as if taking a leisurely stroll.
"Bring Qing Mu home. Don't kill Kamishiro Jingbian. If Qing Chen doesn't come back, I want the Kamishiro Family to know what true cruelty is."
The vines fell empty-handed, the poisonous insects bit in vain, everything was a step behind, only that shadow remained carefree.
They come and go as they please.
After an unknown amount of time, Qing Yi felt that he had returned to normal.
He gasped for breath like a drowning person who had just come ashore, as if the waters of time had truly enveloped the area.
Qing Yi looked back in disbelief at the direction the shadow had gone, then at the members of Kamishiro who had fallen to the ground one after another.
Blood turned into pools of blood in the Forbidden Zone, and none were spared.
Before this, Shadow only told him to come and trade Qing Mu, but he didn't say that he would come personally to break the contract and kill him.
In fact, Qing Yi had made preparations himself. He asked his father for a master to come and mingle among the crowd, intending to capture all the people from the Divine Era as bargaining chips in exchange for Qing Chen's return home.
This was the first time the boy had asked his father for help, but it was of no use at all.
Who would have thought that Shadow would personally take action?
The expert sent by Qing Yi's father watched the shadow leave with trepidation. Only those who have experienced it firsthand can understand how terrified he was.
Just like an ordinary person observing physics research, at most they're just watching the excitement.
Only true physicists understand the vastness of this world, so vast that they question the meaning of life.
Therefore, only this expert present could truly understand how powerless they were when facing their shadows.
That's an unbridgeable distance.
Qing Yi took a deep breath. "Carry Commander Qing Mu properly and evacuate quickly. Once outside, notify the supporting troops that it's time to make a move in the north."
Not long after, the support force that Kamishiro had been hiding in the north was suddenly surrounded and annihilated by several Qing clan forces, each led by Shadow Candidate, and they were extremely ruthless and vicious.
In just thirty minutes, nearly an entire battalion of combat troops was wiped out.
The Qing clan's Shadow Candidate seemed to be vying for credit, afraid that other Shadow Candidate would kill more than they had.
Their original mission was to hunt down B-Class experts from the God Era, but they had been waiting for more than ten days and hadn't seen a single B-Class expert. They were all getting anxious!
