Rebellious Old Servant: From Gatekeeper to Immortal Emperor

After killing people.

Without hesitation, Qin Xiao broke through the window and jumped from the third floor of Yanyun Tower onto the street.

He unleashed his Wind Chasing Steps, and with a few leaps and bounds, he darted into a small alley where he had hidden his belongings beforehand.

Qin Xiao knew he had gotten himself into serious trouble.

If Hong Zhen is killed, the Hong family will likely go completely mad, and the powerful Yanyun Tower will likely be furious and issue a warrant for Qin Xiao's arrest.

Now, in the entire Black Mountain City, only Qin Xiao of the City Lord's Mansion has not been offended yet; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he is an enemy of the whole world.

But Qin Xiao remained completely calm.

When he arrived at the destination, he changed his clothes and disguised himself again.

Then they leisurely headed out of the city.

"Once I consume the Heavenly Water Spirit Fruit and my strength advances to the mid-stage of Bone Refinement, I'll see who kills whom!"

In the pitch-black wilderness.

Qin Xiao strode towards the mine, his eyes gleaming as he pondered something.

Being hunted down by these powerful families, Qin Xiao was filled with anger with nowhere to vent it.

His heart was filled with murderous intent towards these aristocratic families.

I finally understand why the ancient people of my homeland on Earth always loved the poem that says, "The streets of heaven are littered with the bones of nobles and officials."

When he reaches a certain level of strength, he will show the powerful families of Black Mountain City what the people of Blue Star are capable of.

With Qin Xiao's current speed, it only took him less than half a day to return to the familiar mine.

However, Qin Xiao had already learned from Su Qingleng that since he killed Wang Shijie, there had been many conflicts between the Su and Wang families in the mine.

The Su family has now sent a large group of experts to guard the mine, making it extremely secure, precisely to prevent the Wang family from seizing it.

But Qin Xiao wasn't worried. With his current strength, unless someone was a master of the Marrow Refining Realm, it wouldn't be too difficult for an ordinary person to detect his presence.

Qin Xiao used his concealment technique to easily slip into the mine.

At night, the mine's security is not as strict as during the day, and it is even less effective against a master like Qin Xiao who can conceal his presence.

Before long, Qin Xiao easily arrived at the abandoned mine.

The mine remained almost unchanged since Qin Xiao left.

It's no surprise that the Heavenly Water Spirit Fruit in the mine went undiscovered.

However, when Qin Xiao arrived at the underground lake...

However, they discovered that the Heavenly Water Spirit Fruit, which had previously been very well hidden and similar in color to the surrounding aquatic plants, had now become incredibly bright and vivid.

Judging from its appearance, it will be less than a few hours before it matures!

"Luckily, I arrived at the right time."

Qin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

Once the Heavenly Water Spirit Fruit ripens, it emits an extremely enticing aroma.

By then, no matter how well hidden the mine is, it will attract people from the outside.

Even now, once the fruit ripens, there is a high probability that it will attract outsiders.

Be aware of this.

Qin Xiao immediately turned around and went to the entrance of the mine.

He quietly moved a rock from the side and gently blocked the entrance to the mine.

He planned to completely block off the entrance to the mine before making any further decisions.

To prevent the fragrance of the spiritual fruit from spreading and attracting outsiders.

Just as Qin Xiao was moving rocks to block the mine shaft.

But he didn't know.

Outside Black Mountain City.

A large group of people, carrying torches and covered in dust, were rushing towards the mine.

The leader was an elderly man with a dignified demeanor and fierce eyes.

The old man looked at the middle-aged man beside him, his gaze somewhat cold:

"Gao Qiang, are you sure you're pointing in the right direction? If you've led us astray, don't blame the Hong family for disrespecting your Yanyun Tower. Don't think that just because the City Lord's Mansion is behind your Yanyun Tower, the Hong family won't dare to touch you!"

If Qin Xiao heard these words, he would probably be speechless.

He thought that among all the cities in Black Mountain City, only the city lord's mansion had never provoked him.

Little did they know that behind the Misty Cloud Tower lay the most mysterious city lord's mansion in Black Mountain City.

In other words, he has now offended all four of the top powers in Black Mountain City.

"Second Elder, you underestimate my strength."

Gao Qiang chuckled dryly upon hearing this, then shook the cage in his hand.

Inside the cage was a weasel with purple eyes, constantly squeaking.

"Take a good look. This purple-eyed weasel of mine was bought at a high price from the black market next to the Mountain and River Sect. Its specialty is tracking enemies by scent."

"No matter how skilled a bandit is at escaping, he can't escape its nose. That murderer was indeed a master of concealing his presence, but in front of the Purple-Eyed Weasel, even the most profound concealment techniques are useless."

Upon hearing this...

The second elder of the Hong family's expression softened somewhat.

He had also heard of the famous Purple-Eyed Weasel, and knew that its abilities were sometimes beyond the reach of human martial artists.

"I want to see which damned bastard dared to kill the young master of my Hong family."

The second elder of the Hong family said through gritted teeth, his eyes icy cold.

Several more hours passed.

Guided by the purple-eyed white weasel, the group actually made it outside the mine.

If Qin Xiao knew about this, he would probably secretly regret his decision.

He had calculated everything, believing that his presence would be undetectable to human martial artists.

But they never considered that just because humans cannot perceive it doesn't mean animals can't, especially those strange and wondrous beasts.

It can only be said that even though Qin Xiao gained knowledge through the Great Xuan Mountain and River Chronicles, he still lacked martial arts experience and did not know that martial arts methods were varied and unpredictable.

Now that the formidable enemy has arrived, Qin Xiao remains oblivious, staying in the mine and waiting for the Heavenly Water Spirit Fruit to ripen.

"Finally, I'm mature!"

Qin Xiao stared longingly at the center of the underground lake, when an alluring and exotic fragrance wafted towards him.

His eyes grew brighter.

He knew that the spiritual fruit was ripe and could be picked and eaten directly.

He had already blocked the entrance to the cave.

In this way, no matter how strong the fragrance is, it will be difficult for people outside the cave to detect it.

The spiritual fruit was already ripe.

Without hesitation, Qin Xiao took off his shoes, waded through the lake, and swam toward the center of the lake.

The lake water is full of deadly poison.

However, with the Goddess Diagram protecting him, Qin Xiao was completely unafraid of any poison.

Before long, they easily arrived in front of the Heavenly Water Spirit Fruit.

Looking at the bright and plump appearance of the Heavenly Water Spirit Fruit, Qin Xiao smelled its fragrance and felt an urge to drool.

"My precious baby, this baby is mine now!"

Qin Xiao's eyes lit up as he carefully reached out and plucked the Heavenly Water Spirit Fruit.

Unexpectedly, just as his palm was about to touch the Heavenly Water Spirit Fruit...

Beneath the murky water.

Suddenly, a long, emerald-green snake darted out.

The long snake moved as fast as lightning.

It suddenly opened its blood-red maw, its sharp fangs biting down hard on Qin Xiao's palm!

Qin Xiao's skin, which was as hard as stone, was easily pierced by the serpent's fangs.

Qin Xiao immediately felt a sharp pain, his face contorted, and then he felt a cold liquid rapidly spreading into his body through his wound.

Clearly, this is Venom!

Even Qin Xiao hadn't expected that a poisonous snake was lurking next to the Heavenly Water Spirit Fruit!
