Awaken Chapter 17

Xu Qingnian was a bit depressed.

How come this guy’s soul wouldn’t go away?

Are the officials of the South Yu Province just trash? Can’t even catch a fugitive?

No, he was injured.

Xu Qingnian, who was a little depressed, suddenly noticed the injuries on the other party’s body.

It was very serious, not to mention the disturbance of Qi and blood, and his arm was covered in blood, which had already seeped out.

It seemed that the official above was still somewhat useful.

Since he was injured, Xu Qingnian was slightly relieved, he had entered the rank at least, so he wouldn’t be unable to even beat a wounded person, right?

The latter seemed to see through Xu Qingnian’s thoughts at once.

He came out from the shadows, cloaked and looking a bit wretched, his gaze fixed on himself, but there was no killing intent or fierce intent in his eyes, instead, he was very calm.

“You are advised to put away your foolish thoughts.”

“You have only just entered the rank.”

“I have already stepped into the eighth rank long ago, and although I am seriously injured, it would be too easy to kill you.”

“It’s like an elephant and an ant, an injured elephant can easily trample an ant to death.”

His tone was cold, and contempt flashed in his eyes.

But although the words were domineering, Xu Qingnian was not a three-year-old child.

You say you’re strong and you’re strong?

Are you trying to bluff me?

Xu Qingnian did not fall for it and remained on guard.

Bang.

Only the next moment, a rock in front of the middle-aged man crumbled, a rock that was at least half a metre wide, now reduced to a pile of powder, blown by the wind.

“Are you convinced now?”

The latter’s voice rang out.

Xu Qingnian smacked his lips inwardly.

It was not a difficult task to stomp such a large rock into pieces with one foot, but Xu Qingnian could not do it.

Obviously he wasn’t lying, there was some brain broadening pain.

“What do you want from me?”

Xu Qingnian didn’t continue to be on guard anymore, it was useless to be on guard anyway, so he might as well be direct.

I could tell that the other party was not here to trouble him, otherwise he would be a corpse by now.

“Follow me.”

He didn’t say much and was going to take Xu Qingnian out of here.

But without waiting for Xu Qingnian to think anything, he continued to speak.

“If you dare to play mind games, I can guarantee that I will kill you before you jump.”

Once these words were said, all Xu Qingnian’s thoughts were gone.

There was no way out, this was what happened when I was the fish.

Strength.

It was still strength.

If you had strength, why should you be led by the nose?

But Xu Qingnian didn’t really have no cards, the other party obviously didn’t notice that he had Hao Rang Qi inside him, so if the other party dared to do anything, Xu Qingnian wouldn’t mind revealing his cards.

If the other party dared to do anything, Xu Qingnian would not mind revealing her cards.

Of course, if there was a possibility of making peace, Xu Qingnian was still willing to do so, after all, they did not have any deep hatred.

Even if there was, Xu Qingnian would not take the initiative to attack.

At that moment, the figures of the two disappeared here.

Two quarters of an hour later.

In the middle of a deserted mountain, with the bright moon spilling down and the forest somewhat quiet, the man did not continue on his way.

He stopped and turned his gaze towards Xu Qingnian and said.

“Do you want to get rid of the allomancy trouble?”

His voice rang out, causing Xu Qingnian, who was following behind him, to be somewhat surprised.

“What do you mean?”

Xu Qingnian was curious.

“That’s what it means.”

“You should know the dangers of the Allomancy, if there are no surprises, in three months at the soonest, half a year at the slowest, the Golden Crow killing thoughts within you will completely explode out.”

“By that time, you will have to die even if you don’t want to.”

“But I can help you, solve this trouble.”

He spoke calmly and guessed correctly, stating Xu Qingnian’s current situation, while also stating that he had a solution.

Only Xu Qingnian was not stupid and spoke directly.

“Does Your Excellency think I am stupid? If you could solve the trouble with the foreign arts, I’m afraid the court would have offered you as a state teacher in the first place, and you would still be a fugitive?”

Xu Qingnian was not stupid.

The side effect of the foreign arts was to become a demon and become a demon, if we were simply talking about damaging the body, I believe the imperial court would have trained an elite army, the big deal would have been to play the odds, even if a million people were alive, they would have made money.

After all, the martial artist rank, one rank and one heaven, the more powerful the later.

So when the other party said they could solve their own troubles, Xu Qingnian was dead set against believing it.

If he had this ability, would he still be a fugitive?

The Great Wei Dynasty would love to provide for you, and both the righteous and the devilish dao are raising you like a father.

Who are you fooling?

It was just that as Xu Qingnian said these words, the latter shook his head without the slightest hint of embarra*sment.

“You’ve misunderstood.”

“The root trouble, I definitely can’t solve it, what I mean is that it will allow you to quickly break through to the ninth rank, or even the eighth rank, or the seventh rank without relying on the foreign arts again.”

“Does that count as solving the trouble?”

He opened his mouth to explain clearly.

With this explanation, Xu Qingnian was convinced.

To say that it was a root and branch cure, Xu Qingnian was dead set against believing it.

But to say that this kind of cure was not the root cause of the problem, Xu Qingnian really believed it.

After all, the crisis brought about by the foreign arts was not a competition for cultivation speed. If one could be higher than the demon seed realm, one could suppress it and could live for a few more years.

But if one could not match the demon seed, then one would have to die.

“What do you need me to help you do?”

“If it means helping you escape, then forget about it, I’m being watched now too.”

Xu Qingnian spoke directly.

The other party was obviously asking for something, it couldn’t possibly be that he looked handsome, right?

But if it was to get himself to help him escape, this would be a no-brainer.

It would be better to take him out than for him to strut out on his own, and perhaps he might even escape if he met face blindness.

“No need.”

“I can’t get out, and even if I did, I wouldn’t survive for more than a few days.”

He shook his head, informing Xu Qingnian that it was not an escape.

And Xu Qingnian did not speak, waiting for the other party to speak.

“The favor I want you to do is simple, just help me bring a message and one thing to one person.”

He spoke out, stating his purpose.

“Bring it to whom?”

Xu Qingnian asked.

“You don’t need to care about this, it won’t do you any good.”

The latter shook his head, clearly not wanting to inform Xu Qingnian of too many things.

“Fine.”

Knowing less was a good thing, Xu Qingnian agreed to do so.

It wasn’t that Xu Qingnian was willing to do this job, it was mainly because of the other party’s attitude, it was obvious that if he didn’t agree he would end up dead, so he might as well be direct and not waste time.

“Good, a smart man.”

The other party was somewhat surprised that Xu Qingnian was so crisp, but he didn’t waste any time and directly took out a small booklet and handed it to Xu Qingnian.

“Within three months, you must travel to Changping County, then at the inn where you are staying, just draw a piece of clothing with whatever you use, any kind of clothing will do.”

“Someone will naturally contact you when the time comes.”

“And you only need to give this item to him, and pa*s on a message for me, the bright moonlight on the bright moon mountain, the fate is in the yin and yang.”

He said word by word, looking extremely serious.

Xu Qingnian frowned slightly, contemplating something.

“Is there something wrong?”

Seeing Xu Qingnian contemplating something, the latter could not help but ask.

“These are two words.”

Xu Qingnian said seriously.

The fugitive: “……”

He was a little confused, what was Xu Qingnian doing dwelling on this when it was so serious?

Do you think it’s funny?

He was a little angry, but Xu Qingnian’s voice continued to ring out.

“Fine, one or two sentences doesn’t matter, but what about my benefits?”

Now that the matter was confirmed, it was time to talk about the benefits.

“As long as the matter is done well, they will give you benefits when the time comes, don’t worry it won’t be less, whether it’s a spiritual pill or a Daoist divine ability, they can give it to you.”

The latter said confidently.

But Xu Qingnian was a little uncomfortable.

Oh, after talking for half a day, it turned out to be an empty cheque.

Seeing Xu Qingnian’s expression, the latter was also somewhat inexplicably embarra*sed.

“I escaped from South Yufu, do you think I’ll bring any treasures with me?”

He explained.

When he said this, it made sense.

“Is there any silver?”

There was definitely no incentive to work for nothing, so the least you could do was give some silver, right?

The latter was silent.

The meaning was simple.

“I’m going to grab some now, how much do you want?”

After a moment of silence, he opened his mouth and came up with this solution.

“Forget it.”

Xu Qingnian shook his head, Ping’an County was full of bitter people, there was no point in robbing the poor.

“I’ll do things right, don’t worry.”

Xu Qingnian promised, but this is a verbal promise, as to whether to do it or not is another story, at least now the situation is forced, must promise.

“I am naturally relieved, with your qualifications and limited resources, trying to step into the ninth rank in half a year is no less difficult than ascending to the sky, you will also be dead if you continue to cultivate the foreign arts, cooperation is your only way out.”

“By the way, let me remind you of one thing.”

“The Golden Crow Body Tempering Technique you cultivate is extremely domineering, if you don’t continue to cultivate it, the demonic thoughts will appear all the time, just like just now, if it wasn’t for another foreign art to help you suppress it, will lose your mind for a short period of time.”

“And the devil seed is okay, it only makes you lose your mind for a short period of time, what’s really scary is that if you don’t cultivate, he devours your qi and blood.”

“In other words, if your physique is not strong, your daily cultivation is helping it cultivate, even in the end your ten days of hard cultivation will not be enough for it to devour more than one day,”

“You have to weigh yourself, although cultivation is a way to die, if you don’t cultivate, you may die even faster.”

After saying this, the man had already walked towards the darkness, not intending to stay here any longer.

Xu Qingnian was a little surprised after hearing this.

He felt even more depressed about this foreign art.

But riding on the other party not disappearing, Xu Qingnian quickly spoke.

“You have nothing to offer me, do something for me.”

He spoke out and shouted.

“What is it?”

The latter’s back was turned to Xu Qingnian.

“Among the people from the Southern Yufu, there is one surnamed Cheng, and he is a great threat to me.”

Xu Qingnian spoke, not saying anything superfluous, pointing to the point, trusting that the other party understood what was meant.

“Understood.”

The other party nodded, and then completely disappeared into the darkness.

At that moment, Xu Qingnian stood alone among the trees.

He pondered for close to half an hour before finally disappearing into the darkness as well.
