Volume 4: The Winds and Clouds of the Western Blue Sky Chapter 42 Honor Hunt
"Mr. Gus, the person from last night was you, right?"
Jeppard's eyes were clear, but firm.
Qi Ji smiled slightly: "What last night? I don't understand what you are saying."
"You were the one who gave me the information about those , right, Mr. Gus?" Jeppard said directly this time, "Mr. Gus, there is no need to hide it anymore. As a garrison officer, I can recognize a person's identity just by his physique, movements and posture, even if I can't see his face."
Qi Ji looked at the other party's clear attitude and knew that he had indeed been exposed, but he didn't care. He smiled and said, "Mr. Honest Guard Officer, are you here to arrest me?"
Jeppard shook his head and said seriously, "How is that possible? I came here specifically to ask Mr. Gus, since you have exposed the city lord's crimes this time, do you want to get anything, a reward, or status and fame? If you need it, I can arrange it."
Qi Ji also shook his head and said with a smile: "What I did is just what any person with a sense of justice would do, and I don't need any reward."
He pondered for a moment and asked, "By the way, after this incident, where will the city of Longjeviti go?"
Jeppard looked at Qi Ji deeply and said, "Mr. Gus, your tone is as if you already know that the city lord must be ' gone'."
Qi Ji smiled and did not answer the other party.
Jeppard shook his head and said, "The secretary has reported this incident to the Central Holy City. It is expected that the new city lord will take office in a few days. After all, the reputation of the City of Eternal Life is very loud. It is a piece of juicy meat. There is no shortage of strong people who covet the position of city lord of this city."
He looked at Qi Ji with an inexplicable flicker in his eyes: "It's just that, although I don't know what the mysterious formation that the Lord of Cologne took great pains to create is for, since last night, I can feel that... the original vitality of this city is gradually dissipating."
"Perhaps, the reputation of the City of Eternal Life will come to an end after many years..."
Qi Ji looked at Jeppard and teased meaningfully, "If you were the lord of this city of immortality, would you be willing to sacrifice the lives of a very small number of people in order to continue this "immortality" that is within your reach and benefits the entire city?"
Jeppard was stunned for a moment, then he seemed to recall the scenes of the hanging human pigs he saw last night. He clenched his fists and shook his head decisively: "Sacrificing the 'minority' for the 'majority' seems to be correct from a rational point of view, but human life should never be used as a bargaining chip!"
"Only when the parties involved are willing and proactive can it be called 'sacrifice'. Forcing a minority to sacrifice in the name of doing good for the majority is not called sacrifice."
“It’s called persecution!”
The handsome and upright young guard officer said this with absolute certainty.
On this day, Qi Ji gained a new garrison officer friend.
…
One day later, late at night.
A clearing in a dense forest thousands of kilometers away from the City of Eternal Life.
Qi Ji lit a bonfire and sat there chatting with the bell in his hand.
The bell glowed faintly, and from it came the elegant voice of Lani: "So, you really destroyed the Life Circulation Formation of the City of Eternal Life?"
Qi Ji held a stick in his left hand and gently poked the bonfire in front of him, and said softly: "That's right, if you can't stand it anymore, just kill him."
"That city lord was a fourth-level apostle, and he was also an apostle who was tempted by the abyss and corrupted. He had at least reached the level of a senior fourth-level apostle. And you killed him?" Lani confirmed again.
"Well, I fought hard and barely won." Qi Ji said calmly.
"As expected of you, you are the destined 'unbeatable man'. You can actually do this." Lani exclaimed, "Move faster. I can't wait to see you in person."
"Your Demonic Banquet Blood Curse is about to be activated. On the rest of your journey, don't stay outside the city at night. Once the blood mark appears, any vampire who senses you will launch a ruthless attack." Lani smiled.
Just as Lani was teasing him, Qi Ji felt a slight pain on the back of his left hand, and then a special pattern with blood slowly emerged, like a double-headed but short-handled trident.
A feeling of being locked in emerged in Qi Ji's heart.
So this is the blood mark. Fortunately it didn’t grow on my face.
Qi Ji smiled slightly, stood up and said to Lingdang: "Teacher Lani, I'm afraid you're reminding me too late."
The forest became silent unknowingly, and the moon in the sky seemed to turn blood red in Qi Ji's eyes.
Lani sensed something was wrong in Qi Ji's words, and she asked with interest, "You are in the wild now? Didn't you stay in any city along the way after leaving Longjeviti?"
"Well, I think it's too troublesome and I don't want to waste time, so I just continue on my way." Qi Ji said with a smile.
At the same time, he slowly pulled out the huge sword that was as big as a door panel from behind.
"Interesting. You have something to do tonight, so I won't disturb you. Good luck to you." Lani said with a smile.
The bell no longer made any sound.
The next second, the moon in the sky was blocked by clouds, a strange cold wind blew, and the campfire in front of Qi Ji was extinguished in an instant.
It became dark all around.
Immediately afterwards, three pairs of eyes shining with red light suddenly appeared among the trees in the forest in front of Qi Ji.
Qi Ji looked up calmly, and saw three handsome humanoid creatures with pale skin, sharp canine teeth at the corners of their mouths, and blood-colored pupils.
His appearance and style are exactly the same as the vampire baron he killed that day.
As soon as they appeared, they looked around curiously, and finally locked their eyes on Qi Ji in front of them.
"What a big sword! It looks like a tricky guy." One of the handsome short-haired male vampires said with a smile in a language that Qi Ji could not understand.
"No matter how strong you are, you can't be hit by the Demon Feast Blood Curse of that loser Domeric. Let's end this quickly." Another male vampire with a cold face said lightly.
"But this human is so handsome. He is the tough guy type that I like. Why don't you let me play with him first?" On the other side, a female vampire with a hot body and beautiful appearance licked her lips, staring at Qi Ji's face and said.
"Interesting, interesting, I agree!" The grinning male vampire who spoke first immediately clapped his hands in agreement.
The cold-blooded vampire looked at the two of them speechlessly, took a step back, and said, "I'll give you ten minutes."
"Ten minutes is not enough. With his body, I can enjoy him for at least two hours~"
The gorgeous female vampire slightly pulled down her clothes that had already exposed a large area of her white flesh, walked in front of Qi Ji with a cat-like step, and said in Nordic with an extremely charming voice: "My dear, it's so lonely in the dead of night and in the wilderness, why don't you come and have some fun with me--"
Bang!
Before she could finish her words, her whole body shook violently and broke into two halves, falling to the sides.
Qi Ji's tough face, Gus, was revealed behind him.
"You talk too much nonsense."
Qi Ji looked at the two male vampires opposite him with expressions as if they had seen a ghost, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
The next second, the Manyan extra-large sword ignited a black and red smoke flame, making Qi Ji's face look like a demon.
…
A few minutes later, only three completely charred and shattered bodies remained on the open ground.
