Chapter 196: The Sorrow of the Weak

"Captain, if the bounty is one hundred million, one leg plus one arm should also count as thirty million spirit stones, right."

Xu Qing withdrew his gaze from the shadow, looked at the apple not far away, and asked curiously.

A tooth mark appeared on the apple floating in mid-air, and the person who bit it seemed to pause in his movements.

"Deputy Director Xu, what one leg, I don't understand, I don't understand, but the twenty thousand spirit stones you owe me cannot be less. After all, this time, I risked my life to cover for you!"

Xu Qing said oh, took out a jade slip from his body, and threw it over.

This was the recording of the captain's incarnation as the Third Princess, coughing coquettishly and showing off, recorded by the ancestor of the Jin Gang Sect...

The jade slip was caught instantly. After a few breaths, laughter came.

"My dearest junior brother, the senior brother was just joking with you. Eh, Zhang San, why are you here too? What is this place going to build? Why is there a nose next to it?"

Zhang San's expression was strange. The largest item in this place was that nose. He thought to himself, Captain, oh Captain, your way of changing the subject is too casual.

So he looked at the place where the apple was eaten bite by bite and shook his head.

"Captain, do you still have a piece of the statue's nose there? Bring it and put it here together. I'll piece it together for exhibition."

Just as Zhang San finished speaking, a large gray stone fell with a boom in the empty space on the side, a full seven or eight zhang in size. It was exactly the piece of nose taken away by the captain.

It's just that on some corners, you could see many tooth marks, as if it had been bitten many times.

"This thing is useless. I tried to bite it a few times on the way back, but it had no effect at all." The captain transmitted his words lazily.

Zhang San didn't pay attention, stepped forward to hug the nose, put it together with Xu Qing's piece, his expression revealing excitement, his eyes shining.

"Alright, I just came back and have official business to deal with. I have been preparing a big plan recently. Now that the high-level corpse heart is available, I still need some information. When I have everything ready, the three of us will do a big job!" The captain's voice echoed with excitement.

"Do a big job again?" Zhang San took a breath and looked at the apple like a god.

Xu Qing's eyes narrowed, and he asked.

"Can it open Dharma Apertures?"

"More than just opening Dharma Apertures, Deputy Director Xu, your ambition is too small. If we succeed in this job, it will be a step to the sky. The Juying flesh and blood and high-level corpse heart I got before were all prepared for this big plan." The captain became more excited as he spoke, but the wound cracked, making him wince in pain.

"I'll tell you in detail later. I'm leaving first. Sigh, a life of toil, a bunch of official business waiting for me to deal with." Enduring the severe pain, the captain spoke lightly, then jumped away.

Zhang San couldn't see, but Xu Qing lowered his head and looked at the shadow. At this moment, the shadow also posed in a jumping style, shaking back and forth on the ground.

"With these two noses, our museum will be amazing!" Zhang San didn't pay attention to the captain. At this moment, all his energy was placed in this museum. After circling around the nose, he became excited again.

Xu Qing withdrew his gaze silently and looked at Zhang San.

"Senior Brother Zhang San, is my magic ship refined?"

"Refined. The manual is inside. Xu Qing, you can take a look first. Next, I want to repair these two noses together and try to make them more perfect."

Zhang San said, threw a small bottle to Xu Qing, then threw himself onto the nose and began to study how to repair it.

Xu Qing took the small bottle and left.

He didn't return to the Criminal Investigation Department, but arrived at the shore of Port 176 and released the magic ship.

With the roaring echo, as the waves rose and fell, a huge boat appeared before his eyes.

The shape of this boat was exactly the same as before, with no difference.

But the material was obviously better. Clearly, with the income of Port 176's finances, Zhang San invested a lot in refining the magic ship for Xu Qing.

Even faintly, Xu Qing felt a fluctuation that suppressed the ignition of life fire on this magic ship, which reminded him of what Zhang San said: once the magic ship reaches the eighth level, it will have the power to suppress life fire.

Xu Qing looked at the magic ship, took out the manual jade slip given by Zhang San, and checked it.

Although there was no Juying flesh and blood in the magic ship this time, and the divine power could not continue to be deployed, the excellent material of the magic ship made its quality still good.

Especially since all the parts inside were made of high-level materials, the value of this eighth-level magic ship was already extremely astonishing.

"Xu Qing, a magic ship is different from a magic boat. Because a magic boat is simple, the improvement of each level can increase its power a lot, but a magic ship is not."

"The first seven layers of the magic ship, although there is a gap, it is not very large. Only when it reaches the eighth level will it make a leap forward. The main thing I reinforced for your magic ship this time is the eighth-level defense. As for the core, I used the heart of a Rock Beast, which is also used to reinforce the defense, and can reach the level of the Foundation Establishment early stage Xuan Yao state."

"But the divinity is gone, but I also left a position. If you can get the heart of a divine creature, you can instantly promote your magic ship to the ninth level."

"At that time, both defense and other aspects will be comparable to the Foundation Establishment mid-stage!"

"The greater the origin of the divine heart you get in the future, the greater the power of your magic ship. Once it reaches the tenth level, it will be comparable to the Foundation Establishment late stage, and the tenth-level magic ships of the entire sect are very rare!"

"In addition, on your magic ship, I added the camouflage explosion technology like last time. At the same time, I specially developed a new direction for you, adding self-destruction, so you might be more convenient, and I also have a sense of participation. When your magic ship explodes later, you will know how I participated..."

While looking at Zhang San's jade slip message, Xu Qing gazed at the magic ship in front of him.

Although this magic ship had no divine strike at this moment, Xu Qing still stepped on it with satisfaction. After turning on the defense, he returned to the cabin, and when he sat down, he felt very comfortable in his heart.

"Still used to being on the boat, but what is the self-destruction participation that Zhang San mentioned?" Xu Qing was a bit curious, but didn't pay much attention. After taking a deep breath, he closed his eyes and meditated silently.

Time flew by, and three days passed.

With the captain's return, the story of Xu Qing and the captain's great feat caused waves in the sect again. Xu Qing was also looking forward to what the sect's reward for this matter would be.

At the same time, he also felt slightly relieved in his heart.

It was really because before the captain returned, Xu Qing felt that he was very unsafe. If there were any high-level figures in the sect who had evil intentions, he would face a huge crisis.

Although this possibility seemed very small now, he had to be on guard.

But... the captain was back, so Xu Qing was at ease.

"After all, he is the main culprit. The nose was blown up by him, the bounty for him in the wanted list is more exaggerated, and he is ranked first. In this way, if someone really wants to make a move, they will definitely choose him if they have to choose one of two."

Xu Qing was calm in his heart, but at dusk on the third day, a person who was extremely uneasy in his heart, with full sorrow, came to Port 176 and came outside Xu Qing's magic ship.

This was a woman, not tall, looking very thin and weak, wearing a gray Daoist robe, and her Qi Condensation cultivation was only at the third layer.

Such people often had to be careful in everything they did within the Seven Blood Eyes, regardless of whether they were men or women.

This person was Xu Xiaohui, who entered the Seven Blood Eyes with Xu Qing that day.

She stood silently beside Xu Qing's magic ship, with sorrow on her face, and her heart was even more filled with sadness and anxiety. In fact, she didn't dare to come to Xu Qing unless it was a last resort.

Although they were considered to be in the same period, they had no intersection after all, especially since Xu Qing had become a Foundation Establishment cultivator and was now famous throughout the Seven Blood Eyes, known to everyone.

This kind of influential figure was beyond her reach even if she tried hard to look up.

So she suffered for several months before finally biting the bullet and arriving. At this moment, just after approaching Xu Qing's magic ship, she knelt down immediately.

"Disciple Xu Xiaohui, requests to see Martial Uncle Xu Qing."

Inside the magic ship, Xu Qing, who was meditating cross-legged, opened his eyes, raised his head, and looked calmly outside. His gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the barrier and fall on Xu Xiaohui outside.

"What is it?"

His voice came out of the magic ship and echoed in Xu Xiaohui's ears. Xu Xiaohui's body trembled, and she spoke softly.

"Martial Uncle, Senior Brother Zhou Qingpeng... died tragically in the sect three months ago."

The magic ship was quiet.

After a few breaths, Xu Qing's figure walked out of the cabin, stood on the boat, and looked down at Xu Xiaohui who was kneeling there. In his mind, the scene of the four of them going up the mountain together emerged, as well as Zhou Qingpeng's generous gift of the Ghost Desire Horseshoe to him.

In fact, he was not very familiar with Zhou Qingpeng, but the other party's gift was considered a favor, and that Ghost Desire Horseshoe was of great help to him later. Now that he heard Zhou Qingpeng died tragically, he also sighed in his heart.

But there was no surprise.

In the cruel environment of raising insects for disciples under the Seven Blood Eyes mountain, it would not decrease due to the war. There would always be people dying here, and there would always be people longing to worship in.

But, since he owed a favor to someone, Xu Qing had to ask about this matter, so he looked at Xu Xiaohui and spoke slowly.

"Tell me in detail."

Xu Qing's words made Xu Xiaohui's eyes turn red, and tears flowed down.

In these few months, she had been desperate many times. Until this moment, Xu Qing's inquiry made hope rise in her heart.

"Martial Uncle Xu, Senior Brother Zhou was originally following Martial Uncle Ding Xiaohai in the Coastal Defense Department. He told me that he helped Martial Uncle Ding do many things that outsiders could not know, and Martial Uncle Ding also promised him that he would give him a follower quota in the future.

But Martial Uncle Ding left the Coastal Defense Department after being promoted and did not summon Senior Brother Zhou to his side, which made Senior Brother Zhou have no protection for a while, and many things he did before caused malice from many people. This is one of the reasons for his death."

"Secondly, Senior Brother Zhou also had a considerable harvest on the Mermaid Island during the Seventh Peak competition. These harvests of his could have been protected, but with Martial Uncle Ding Xiaohai's indifference, Senior Brother Zhou was finally targeted by others. Three months ago, one day, he died tragically on the street."

"I have investigated until now, but I haven't found who the murderer is."

Xu Xiaohui was crying, although she was full of sadness, her words were very logical. Obviously, these words had been prepared in her heart for a long time.

"You and Zhou Qingpeng?" Xu Qing was silent for a moment and looked at Xu Xiaohui.

"Senior Brother Zhou had great kindness to me. Before, I borrowed a large sum of spirit stones to get a magic boat, but I couldn't pay it back. I had to give up my dignity to please and flatter, and became a plaything for some disciples in the sect. It seemed glorious in front of people, but in fact, I lived like an animal, having to cater to their various tortures, covered in bruises. This is my own cheapness, too vain, I admit it."

Xu Xiaohui bit her lower lip and spoke softly.

"Senior Brother Zhou pitied me and helped me pay off the debt. I thought he had taken a fancy to me, but until the end, he didn't touch me at all, but helped me many times. I think... I, Xu Xiaohui, have a cheap life, but I still know that kindness must be repaid."

"But my ability is limited. In these few months, even if I paid with my body to investigate, there was still no result. I could only come here and beg Martial Uncle Xu."

Xu Xiaohui lowered her head, her forehead touching the ground.

A gentle force spread, preventing her from kowtowing.

"No need for this. Xu once owed Zhou Qingpeng a favor. I will investigate this matter."
