Upon hearing Qi Ling ask about their mission, Qian Renxue's attention was immediately diverted. She replied, "Oh, there are indeed some things, but it's not convenient to talk about them here. Qi Ling, let's find a more suitable place to discuss them."
"Great! My house is quite big. You're welcome to come over!" Qi Ling said with a smile. "It was left to me by the previous city lord; it didn't cost any money."
Afterwards, everyone went to the city lord's mansion. The rest of the Holy Temple Knight Order rested in the living room, while only Qian Renxue and Tuo Lei came to the reception room.
Xue Ke and Ning Rongrong had been waiting there for a long time. After seeing Qian Renxue, they were also captivated by her beauty and couldn't help but feel admiration. How could there be such a noble, powerful, and beautiful person in the world!
Even the Holy Temple Knight Order dared not neglect the Imperial Princess and the daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Qian Renxue and Tuo Lei hurriedly bowed, while also wondering why the two of them were with Qi Ling.
Especially Tuo Lei, seeing Ning Rongrong and Xue Ke's adoring gazes towards Qi Ling, knew exactly what was going on between them, and couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy, muttering to himself, " Xiao Bai! What's so great about him!"
"Getting back to the point, Qi Ling, I really do have something I need your help with this time." After everyone sat down, Qian Renxue spoke directly. "I've thought about this a lot, and only you can help me, which is why I suddenly came to you."
"Oh? What's so serious that it's something I have to do?" Qi Ling asked curiously.
"That's right, Qi Ling, I suppose you were there at the time and witnessed it," Qian Renxue said. "It was during the previous Soul Master Tournament, regarding the attack on my Spirit Hall elder, Qian Xunji, by assassins."
At this time, Qian Renxue probably did not know that Qian Xunji was her father, nor did she know the Qian Xunji things Qian Xunji had done. Although Qian Xunji always called himself the Divine Lord of the Divine Court, he actually had another identity, namely, an elder of the Elder Hall.
It is precisely because of this that he has the right to mobilize the Holy Temple Knight Order and use them for his own purposes. If their leader were not Qian Renxue, this force would probably already be under Qian Xunji's control.
Not only was Qi Ling present during Qian Xunji's assassination attempt, but she also had a close connection with the assassins. Therefore, upon hearing Qian Renxue's words, Qi Ling's heart skipped a beat. Had she been discovered?
Fortunately, Qian Renxue continued, "We already know the names of the assassins who attacked. They are a group of professional killers called the Sleepless City. As for why they attacked people, we don't know yet, but in any case, we must bring them to justice, otherwise it will damage the reputation of the Spirit Hall."
"After more than a year of investigation, we finally obtained clues about them, as well as information about their recent situation and where they plan to go next."
"Really? You've tracked their movements?" Qi Ling was surprised. It goes without saying how secretive the Sleepless City was; otherwise, given what they did, they would have been eliminated long ago.
Qian Renxue nodded and said, "This isn't the whereabouts of all of them, just a portion of them. They'll be heading to a certain place soon, and they likely have other plans."
"Where?" Qi Ling asked.
"Who do you think you are, to think you can just find out whenever you want!" Tuo Lei said sarcastically from the side. "This is information we went through a lot of trouble to get!"
Qi Ling frowned and sneered, "Is that so? Xue'er, in that case, it's better if I don't know this news. Anyway, it won't do me any good, and it might make some people think they've suffered a great loss."
Qian Renxue said unhappily, " Tuo Lei, we came to Qi Ling for help with this matter, how can you talk like that! It's so rude!"
"But, Commander Qian Renxue, even if he finds out about that place, what can he do? A Xiao Bai, do you think he'd dare go to the Slaughter City?" Tuo Lei said disdainfully.
" The Slaughter City?" Qi Ling raised an eyebrow. The name of this place sounded familiar.
Qian Renxue nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. Qi Ling, the information we received is that the people from Sleepless City are heading to the City of Slaughter City."
"That's an extremely dangerous place, almost only the most heinous people would go there, and there seems to be a strange power inside; very few people who go in can come out."
Qi Ling nodded and said, "I have indeed heard about it. So, Xue'er, did you come to me intend to have me go with you to this Slaughter City to investigate the purpose of the Sleepless City?"
"That's right, exactly," Qian Renxue said. "The power of the Slaughter City is extremely suppressive to our Holy Temple Knight Order. There, they are even less capable than ordinary people, so I have no choice but to ask you for help."
Qi Ling was actually quite interested in this Slaughter City, because Tang San would probably be sent here by Tang Hao to undergo some trials and obtain the Divine Slaughter's Domain.
Qi Ling had a strong interest in this Divine Slaughter's Domain. After all, " Slaughter God " sounded much more prestigious than other titles, and even if she didn't use it, it would be nice to keep it as a collectible.
Qi Ling was about to agree to Qian Renxue's request, but Tuo Lei said again, "What? Captain, you actually plan to send this Xiao Bai with you? What help can he be? He probably won't even be able to get through the gate! Let's find someone else."
Having been repeatedly offended, Qi Ling disregarded the saying "even when beating a dog, one should consider its owner" and Lingling said, "I always thought the Holy Temple Knight Order were a disciplined and well-behaved order, but today I've truly seen something new."
Qian Renxue's expression also turned cold. She secretly resented Tuo Lei for displeasing Qi Ling and said, " Tuo Lei, this is my decision. If you are not satisfied, you can naturally give me suggestions later. But are you planning to disobey my orders by doing this now?"
"But, Commander, even if we Templars are suppressed in the Slaughter City, we're still better than this Xiao Bai! What can he do? Has he ever killed anyone?" Tuo Lei said disdainfully. "If he needs your protection later, that'll be troublesome!"
" Tuo Lei, you!" Qian Renxue stood up angrily, about to reprimand Tuo Lei, but Qi Ling stopped her and stood up, saying, " Tuo Lei, since you doubt my strength, why don't you have a match with me and see if I'm qualified?"
"Hmph! Fine, do you think I'm afraid of Xiao Bai like you?" Tuo Lei was overjoyed. He was willing to provoke Qian Renxue to mock Qi Ling for this very purpose. He wanted to prove that it wasn't just handsome men who were popular; a man of ability like himself was the best choice.
"This isn't a suitable place for a duel, let's find somewhere else." Qi Ling Qi Ling the way, thinking to himself, "If I don't leave you in the hospital for three months today, I'll change my name!"
