Qingling City is located at the very edge of the Qingyang Empire's territory on the largest island of Wandao Continent, and what should have been a small population area has flourished because of a small Yuanjing mine.

The Qingyang Empire rules the entire Wandao Continent and is one of the member states of the Imperial Alliance. The marauder camp has not invaded the Wandao continent on a large scale, only a small-scale marauder army is stationed on the edge of the Wandao continent, and there is no large-scale war without a large-scale army, which also makes the gunpowder smoke on the territory of the Qingyang Empire not as thick as other continents.

Qingling City, on the other hand, is on the edge of the rear that will not be affected by the war, and its strategic position is not very important, which also makes the garrison of the Qingyang Empire in Qingling City very small. If it weren't for the fact that there was an imperial Yuanjing mine here, I am afraid that I would not even bother to send a garrison.

Qin Chuan's first mission was in this Qingling City.

Qingling City, which did not have war, has a slightly old city wall, and it is in disrepair at a glance. There were a few sergeants on duty standing lazily on the city wall, and this was because there were a few Juyuan cannons on the city wall worth some crystal coins, otherwise the commander of the garrison in the city would not even bother to arrange the sergeants on duty.

Before Qin Chuan entered Qingling City, there was a person in black clothes standing in front of him, and even his face was under the black cloth, this person was the shadow of a blood skeleton.

Phantom is not good at fighting, but the exercises he cultivates are extremely suitable for stealth tracking, and he is specially trained by Blood Skeleton to serve as a person who connects with the killer, and every killer or killer team will have a Phantom in charge of contact.

At this time, the person in front of Qin Chuan was the phantom who was in charge of contacting him, although Qin Chuan could feel that the phantom's strength was not as good as that of ordinary first-order cultivators, but faintly, Qin Chuan's intuition told him that even a fifth-order cultivator couldn't stop the phantom from escaping.

Qin Chuan knew that the Phantom was not only the contact between the Blood Skull and the Killer, but also the person who monitored the Killer and verified the results of the Killer's mission. If the killer betrays the Blood Skull, the Phantom only needs to send the news back to the Blood Skull, and then a high-level killer will naturally clean it up.

The shadow in front of Qin Chuan, who was short and couldn't tell the age of men and women, didn't say a word, and after Qin Chuan handed over his identity metal plate, he only shook his hand and gave Qin Chuan a piece of information, and then lost his figure while shaking under Qin Chuan's nose.

It is customary for the Blood Skull Slayer to hand over his ID card to the Shadow he is in contact with before performing a mission, and return it after the mission is over.

Qin Chuan carefully read this information about his mission and destroyed it, and all the contents of the information had been memorized by Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan felt that it was really fate, but he didn't expect that the first task he was going to complete would have some relationship with Cha Gan, his opponent in the first underground fight.

Qin Chuan's mission this time is to get rid of the one-eyed snake head, the big boss of the snake gang, the largest gang in Qingling City, and coincidentally, Cha Gan, who died in Qin Chuan's hands in the basement six years ago, is the third leader of the snake gang.

The Yuanjing Mine in Qingling City is a piece of fat for many people, and what the Snake Gang is secretly doing is smuggling Yuanjing, and it is the Yuanjing of the Yuanjing Mine in Qingling City that is smuggling.

Except for some private Yuanjing mines that belong to the nobles of the family, other Yuanjing mines belong to the major empires. Cultivators need Yuan Jing, flying ships also need Yuan Jing, and there are some special places where Yuan Jing is used, and the huge profits in this make some people willing to risk their lives to collude with officials and smuggle the Yuan Jing of the empire.

This snake gang is on the line of the highest commander of the army stationed in Qingling City, so that they can get mixed up in Qingling City. If he wanted to get rid of the one-eyed snake head of the third-order cultivator, the leader of the Snake Gang, it was not difficult for Qin Chuan to come out of the sea of blood in the corpse mountain of the Reaper Base. The difficulty is that this one-eyed snake head has become extremely cautious since his third boss Cha Gan disappeared inexplicably six years ago, and he always brings a group of capable men as guards when he goes out, and the residence is also carefully arranged to be guarded by the people day and night.

The time limit given to Qin Chuan for this task was ten days, so Qin Chuan was not so eager.

Walking into Qingling City, the noisy crowd of people in the street market, such a lively scene is the first time Qin Chuan has seen it, this can be regarded as the first time Qin Chuan has been to the city level. When he was young, he lived in a small town with the old man who raised him, which was not as prosperous as these cities, and when he was a teenager, he lived in the shadow of death in the death base of the god of death, which was the first time Qin Chuan stepped into a crowded place.

As soon as he entered Qingling City at first glance, he suddenly entered a lively place, and Qin Chuan was still a little uncomfortable. The blue-tiled and high-walled residents in the city, the streets are bluestone-bottomed, lined with all kinds of pawn vendors, and those women who scratch their heads and gesture to greet prostitutes on the upper floor. Six years of newcomer training has greatly improved Qin Chuan's ability to accept new things and adapt to the new environment, and after a short period of discomfort, Qin Chuan has integrated into this small town atmosphere, and even the aura brought out from the Death Base has been fully restrained by Qin Chuan.

Walking in the crowd of people in the market, Qin Chuan, who looks ordinary, is more like a small person in the market, and it is difficult to attract people's attention.

There are many cultivators from all continents, and there are also many cultivators in this Qingling City, and Qin Chuan has seen more than a dozen cultivators who are at least the first order all the way, but they may be because of their low qualifications, and the vitality they have cultivated is also extremely thin, and these people are in the eyes of the killers who came out of the Death Base.

Carrying a sword and holding a sword is very common in such a city with many cultivators, and Qin Chuan's two styles are considered common on the mainland, and they are not concealed, and they are hung directly behind their waists. Only the Juyuan Spear, which ordinary poor cultivators couldn't afford like Blackbird, was coveted for fear of attracting it, so Qin Chuan covered it up a little, but this still couldn't stop those greedy people.

Qin Chuan was wandering around the streets of Qingling City, planning how to kill the one-eyed snake head of the Snake Gang in the next ten days, and at this time, in a street and alley, Ah Si, a famous habitual thief and pickpocket in Qingling City, was eyeing Qin Chuan's fresh face.

Ah Si Thief aimed at the blackbird covered by Qin Chuan's clothes at a glance, and he could be regarded as a stealing and well-informed, and guessed that it was a Juyuan gun just based on the not very obvious outline.

There are not a few cultivators who have been submissive by Ah Si, and Ah Si is also full of confidence this time.

Qin Chuan was just walking, and suddenly Ah Si, who was thin, rushed out from the corner of the alley, and the panic on his face seemed to tell others that someone was chasing him behind him.

Ah Si hurriedly chose the road and didn't see Qin Chuan, and the two were about to collide.

Qin Chuan stretched out a hand and pressed it on Ah Si's shoulder at the next moment, and slowly let go until Ah Si's forward momentum was gone. Ah Si apologized, hurriedly said "sorry", and then hurriedly staggered past Qin Chuan.

All this seemed to be just a coincidence, but just when Ah Si staggered by him, Qin Chuan's vigilance that he had cultivated in the Death Base for six years suddenly made him feel something unusual.

Qin Chuan didn't notice anything unusual, but he still trusted his instincts and grabbed Ah Si, who was about to "escape" again.

Ah Si was tightly held by Qin Chuan, and he chuckled in his heart, but he still pretended to be angry, "What are you doing, didn't I apologize to you for almost hitting you." ”

Ah Si's words were full of anxiety, as if the person who was chasing him in the deep alley was about to arrive, and he would be chased if he didn't leave.

When Qin Chuan saw Ah Si's appearance, he also wondered if his feelings were wrong?

Just when Qin Chuan pulled Ah Si without saying a word, quickly thinking about what made him suddenly alert, Ah Si's face gradually darkened.

At this time, Ah Si's heart became more and more uncertain, how could he meet such a person, the longer it dragged on, the easier it was for him to show his self-directed and self-acting play.

Ah Si couldn't help but shout: "What the hell do you want to do!"

Qin Chuan also felt that this was really embarrassing, so he wanted to let go of his hand. However, just before Qin Chuan wanted to let go, a question suddenly popped up in Qin Chuan's mind, isn't someone chasing this emaciated man, although he didn't hold him for a long time, but he also had a breath or two, and the person chasing him during this time didn't even move.

Qin Chuan, who was just about to let go of his hand, tightened it again, and Qin Chuan asked curiously, "What about the person chasing you?"

Qin Chuan just asked curiously, but when Ah Si heard this, sweat broke out on his forehead in an instant, oh no, this time it was planted.

Seeing Ah Si's reaction like this, Qin Chuan guessed in his heart that he had already confirmed three points.

Dragging Ah Si, who was not even a cultivator and was powerless to resist, into a dead end, Qin Chuan threw Ah Si, who was like ashes, to the ground. It wasn't until Qin Chuan carefully examined his whole body that he found that the black bird on his body had disappeared silently.

Qin Chuan set his eyes on Ah Si, and he had already determined in his heart that he was responsible for the disappearance of the black bird.

Ah Siyi looked at Shang Qinchuan with great certainty, trembled all over, and took out the black bird from his arms in embarrassment. Facing Qin Chuan, who was a cultivator, Ah Si could only pray in his heart now that this person would not be a ruthless person and let him suffer less.

Although Qin Chuan was shocked by Ah Si's method of stealing things, he was still glad of his intuition. After checking the blackbird and confirming that it was undamaged, Qin Chuan was too lazy to teach this kind of person a lesson, so he turned his head and left.

Ah Si saw that Qin Chuan left without giving him a lesson, and the breath hanging in his heart finally relaxed. But in the next second, Qin Chuan turned around and came back.

After Qin Chuan turned around, he suddenly thought of a question that was still relatively serious for him, that is, after he came out of the Death Base, he didn't even have a crystal coin on his body now, did he have to sleep on the streets hungry during the mission?

So he immediately turned around and turned his attention to the thief who was at a loss.

Qin Chuan looked at Ah Si with a smile that he thought could be regarded as kind, "Your name is ......?"

Ah Si was taken aback by Qin Chuan's abnormal behavior, but quickly calmed down and said smartly: "Little Ah Si, what does the master command." ”

Qin Chuan's index finger and middle finger were rubbed together with his thumb in front of Ah Si, and Ah Si, who suddenly understood the meaning, seemed to have lost the strength of his whole body, but who let him offend people first.

Ah Si groped in his arms for a long time, took out two crystal coins printed with special lilac patterns, and said with a sad face: "Master, it's not easy to be small, otherwise how would you come out to do such a risky thing." ”

Qin Chuan bought the two crystal coins, and he could faintly feel the thin vitality in the crystal coins. Crystal coins are the common currency of all continents, and the materials used to make crystal coins are those light ink-colored yuan crystals that do not have much vitality, and this kind of yuan crystal is not even a ink yuan crystal. Although there is not much vitality, this light ink-colored yuan crystal has been processed by various empires and printed with special patterns as anti-counterfeiting marks as anti-counterfeiting marks to become the currency circulating on the mainland.

Qin Chuan shook the two Yuan Crystals in his hand, shook his head, and directly reached out and took out a money bag in Ah Si's arms. This bag contained more than a dozen crystal coins, and Qin Chuan took out two crystal coins in Ah Si's arms and fumbled in them for a long time, and he realized that he had hidden a lot.

Ah Si's whole body was looted, but he was depressed but powerless to resist, Qin Chuan shook the money bag in his hand, "Even if I borrowed it, I will have the opportunity to pay you back in the future." ”

Qin Chuan was in a good mood and swaggered away for a long time before Ah Si dared to jump up in anger and curse loudly.
