What happened that night made Xu Qing very angry. He didn’t want to kill on the first day he arrived at the Seven Blood Eyes but the other party had forcefully framed him.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Xu Qing’s cultivation and combat strength were sufficient, if it was anyone else, they might have died during the framing that night.

Hence, at that moment, his attack was incomparably swift. As his voice rang out, the woman who was screaming suddenly fell silent. Her entire body was trembling but she knew the advantage of being a woman.

She also understood that to a man, a frightened woman would more or less cause others to feel pity for her. Hence, she exaggerated her fear.

Xu Qing was expressionless. As he chewed on the last candied fruit in his mouth, he walked toward the other party. At the same time, he didn’t forget to be vigilant of the surroundings to see if the other party had accomplices. As he walked over, the passersby in the surroundings had already distanced themselves.

Even a few cultivators among them wanted to interfere when they saw the miserable state the woman was in. However, after noticing that Xu Qing’s aura wasn’t ordinary, they quickly dispelled the thought.

Seeing Xu Qing walking over, the woman who felt intense pain from having her foot penetrated intentionally trembled even more. Sweat covered her forehead as she recognized Xu Qing’s voice.

In reality, ever since she framed Xu Qing that day and sensed the other party’s gaze as well as the viciousness of his attacks, she had been very vigilant. She was very clear that she had provoked a terrifying existence.

Hence, she had been hiding for the past few days and didn’t go out. Today, she felt that the limelight should have passed. That terrifying existence most probably left. It shouldn’t dare to act rashly during the day.

That was why she came out. However, no matter what, she didn’t expect to meet the other party.

It was fine if she encountered him since she was confident that she could escape. After all, she was a commoner. With the Patrol Department in charge of public security, she was safe under the rules.

However, at this moment, as she looked at the figure who squatted down beside her, she suddenly had a feeling that she might die here before the Patrol Department arrived.

Hence, she fully displayed the pity she felt as a woman amidst the trembling of her body and the fear in her eyes. She wanted to stall for time.

“Stop pretending.” Xu Qing squatted in front of the woman and removed the bamboo stick from her footboard.

The intense pain and the fact that the other party had seen through her thoughts caused the terror in the woman’s eyes to become real. She also noticed that the other party was very close to her at this moment. She struggled for a moment in her heart and her clenched right hand moved but she still didn’t dare to spill the poison powder in her hand.

At that moment, whistling sounds could be heard from the distant streets. A group of patrolling cultivators seemed to have noticed the situation here and were rushing over at high speed.

Hope instantly appeared in the woman’s eyes.

However, very soon, as Xu Qing took out the badge of the Homicide Department, the group of patrolling cultivators turned their heads and left. The hope in the woman’s eyes was replaced by despair and she suddenly spoke in a low voice while trembling.

“What happened last time was my fault. I’m willing to make amends. I… I know a clue about a wanted criminal!”

She didn’t bargain with Xu Qing. As someone who walked in the dark all year round, she knew very well that she didn’t have the qualifications to bargain with someone who was stronger than her and could crush her. Obedience was the only way to survive.

Hence, she didn’t wait for Xu Qing to speak and quickly revealed the clues.

“That wanted criminal is the abandoned disciple of the Spirit Cloud Sect, Qing Yunzi. He has been staying at Panquan Road for the past few days, in the inn we met last time.”

“Wanted criminal?” Xu Qing took out the jade slip his captain had given him. After checking it, he found Qing Yunzi’s name. After a glance, the reward was around 20 spirit stones.
