Zhao Xin glanced back at the white-haired figure huddled in the corner, his eyes were extremely cold.

Even though the story she had now was inferred through the results, it was already close to the full picture of the incident.

These words made Ye Qing frown immediately, and she couldn't help but look at the white-haired figure.

Could this guy who was locked in the cellar actually turn the city outside upside down?

"Ye Zi, what I got here is just the beginning of the story. Believe me, after hearing this story, you will just want to grind that guy to dust."

At this moment, Zhao Manying's voice was heard in the team channel.

After a short rest, Zhao Manying finally caught her breath. While rushing towards the cellar, she explained to Ye Qing in the team channel.

Everything mentioned in that diary was the beginning of the matter.

The young man who traveled to the Western Continent to carry out a mission did not expect that this was just a trap set for him, or to be more precise, a trap set for his father-in-law.

Controlling an important port city and having powerful private armies at the same time would naturally arouse the envy of many people.

And because the city lord's family had followed the Ying family for many years, he inevitably attracted the hostility of some emerging families and old clans.

Documents were submitted almost every month, but most of them were just trumped-up charges, which were certainly not enough for the emperor to convict him.

But even if the emperor had no intention of doing so, how could those relatives by marriage let it go?

Thus, a conspiracy against this port city began.

"Ye Zi, the guy you are protecting is the 24th son of the emperor, and he was also the biggest excuse for carrying out the conspiracy at that time."

Zhao Manying finally arrived here at this moment. As her figure fell from the top of the cellar, the white-haired figure curled up in the corner jumped up again like a frightened bird.

Seeing him like that, Zhao Manying's eyes revealed disgust.

twenty four

Ye Qing couldn't help but secretly complain in her heart, this could be the 24th child, the emperor was really fertile, to put it bluntly it was simply...

Seeing that the two were treating the middle-aged man, Zhao Manying simply turned on the open microphone, as if she wanted the middle-aged man present to hear it as well.

"It was this beast who made an already bad situation even worse."

Zhao Manying took a step forward, grabbed the white-haired figure and threw him in front of everyone, so much so that Ye Qing wanted to remind her to be gentler and not kill the person.

But this guy was obviously not as weak as he looked. He was able to stand up after being thrown by Zhao Manying. He even made a strange cry and wanted to rush over to interrupt the actions of Ye Qing and the others.

As a result, Zhao Manying stepped forward again, kicked him out, and continued to tell Ye Qing everything that had happened in the past.

The prince of the Ying family, even if he is the 24th prince, must be taken seriously by their ministers.

Otherwise, if some bad rumors spread, it is hard to say whether the emperor would be angry, and the team specially designed to protect these princes would be dispatched.

Under the guise of being compassionate to the people and inspecting on behalf of his father, he was actually trying to secretly send some evil spirits into the city to avoid inspection.

Relying on the pretext of "inspecting on behalf of his father", the twenty-fourth prince began to act recklessly in the city.

As the plans of those evil demons continued to advance, the Twenty-Fourth Prince became more and more excessive, until that day.

"As luck would have it, this guy targeted the city lord's daughters and took action on his own, resulting in the death of the sisters in a cellar in the city."

Although the process was not directly shown in the game, the figures of the two people in the cellar were enough to make Zhao Manying furious.

This was the first time since she started playing the game that she wanted to cut an NPC into pieces.

The middle-aged man next to him also started coughing with obvious excitement. When Zhao Manying mentioned this matter, his eyes revealed uncontrollable anger.

"At that time, the city lord's youngest daughter, who is this gentleman's partner, was already pregnant."

Silence, dead silence.

There was suddenly no other sound in the entire cellar. The Zhao sisters and the middle-aged man had the same angry looks, and Ye Qing was stunned.

She never imagined that the mission issued by the system was to protect such a beast.

If she had known all this earlier, she probably would not have accepted the protection mission.

"After that, it was dusk when everything happened..."

The evil demons used the formation they had set up long ago to slaughter all the living beings in the city, sucked their life force, and summoned the demons from hell to stir up a bloody storm.

This is all that can be found in the twilight timeline where Zhao Manying is.

At this moment, Zhao Xin took over the conversation. With the additional information from Zhao Manying, her murderous intent towards the white-haired figure became even stronger.

"However, this group of people missed one point despite all their calculations. That is, the young people who went overseas completed their mission ahead of time and rushed back to the city."

This young man, who was supposed to have died "accidentally" overseas, suddenly returned to the city with an even more terrifying team.

Monsters like demons can only be killed by beings that are more ferocious and brutal than them.

Unfortunately, after returning to the city and seeing everything he had protected destroyed, especially his wife and unborn child, he changed.

"Those things really don't treat people as human beings. Those disgusting scenes..."

Zhao Xin couldn't bear to mention the scene he saw, and the twenty-fourth prince also knew it all and even enjoyed it.

It can be said that apart from his human appearance, his heart is no different from that of a demon.

In this way, the cause and effect of the matter are connected.

As his injuries gradually healed, the middle-aged man was finally able to recover.

He turned his head and stared at the twenty-fourth prince fiercely. His cold eyes made the other party dare not move at all.

Ye Qing was even prepared to stop the middle-aged man first if he made a move.

But he did not make a move. He just pushed the two people in front of him away. With the sudden appearance of a shadow, the middle-aged man's body disappeared in front of everyone.

There was no extra explanation, and nothing more was done. He just disappeared in front of everyone like a shadow.

But after knowing all this, Ye Qing had no doubt about the middle-aged man's hatred.

Zhao Manying couldn't help but sigh, but Zhao Xin had already drawn his lightsaber and slowly walked towards the twenty-fourth prince.

"Sister Ye Qing, after hearing all this, do you still have any reason to protect this guy?"

Chapter 95 Solo Kill

Ye Qing sighed deeply, she was actually hesitant at this moment.

And this reason is also very realistic, which is the prologue of the legendary mission that he has just accepted.

In the entire Divine Realm Fantasy, single legendary quests are not uncommon, but a series of quests as chapters are extremely rare.

The previous Void Walker series of missions were only at the epic level, but now they are directly at the legendary level, not to mention that they are related to the Ying family, the royal family of the Eastern Empire.

Judging from the interests alone, it seems that saving the prince is the most sensible decision.

Seeing that Ye Qing didn't speak immediately, Zhao Xin's eyes showed a trace of sadness.

Sister Ye Qing, who was perfect in her eyes, actually hesitated at this moment because of such a decision.

Just like her sister, Zhao Xin also has a strong sense of justice. Although she doesn't go too far like Zhao Manying, she is also a person who dares to love and hate.

After witnessing the tragic situation caused by this prince, Zhao Xin naturally could not tolerate his existence.

But she did not act rashly. Instead, she turned her gaze to Ye Qing, waiting for her "permission".

What Zhao Xin didn't know was that Ye Qing was also having an extremely fierce ideological struggle in his heart at this moment, and the entire cellar became quiet again.

After a brief silence, Ye Qing let out a sigh.

"...Go ahead."

After getting Ye Qing's permission, Zhao Xin rushed out without any hesitation, and the lightsaber in his hand stabbed straight at the prince's heart.

The short wait seemed like an extremely long time had passed.

But when the sword was thrust out, the prince, who should have died, did not reach the bottom. Instead, someone blocked his way.

Seeing that her attack was blocked, Zhao Xin launched a counterattack almost without hesitation. She directly drew out another lightsaber and slashed at the figure in front of her.

The crossed swords produced dazzling sword light, but they were all blocked. It was as if their actions were completely predicted, and each of Zhao Xin's attacks was accurately deflected.

After several unsuccessful attacks, Zhao Xin naturally would not get carried away and attack again, but calmly distanced himself first.

"Xiao Xin, don't be anxious."

Ye Qing and Zhao Manying also stepped forward at the same time. They came directly to Zhao Xin's side and stared at the person standing in front of the prince.

He was an old man wearing a brown robe and holding a long sword. He was looking at the three people in front of him with a smile and apologized in his mellow voice.

"Although it's a little unreasonable, could you three please give His Royal Highness a way out?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the prince hiding behind the old man suddenly revealed a ferocious expression.

It's easy to imagine that as a prince, his life and death are now in the hands of others. With his domineering personality, how could he tolerate this?

But perhaps because he was locked in the cellar for long enough, he still retained some normal thinking ability and knew that the three people in front of him were not people to be trifled with.

Especially Ye Qing. He had just witnessed with his own eyes how Ye Qing killed those demon soldiers. Naturally, he had developed a deep fear of Ye Qing.

What stopped Zhao Xin just now was the exaggeratedly long sword in the old man's hand.

It is slender and thin, like a hanging willow branch, and the edge of the blade seems a little dazzling.

"Do you know what exactly this prince has done?"

Ye Qing took a step forward and spoke before Zhao Xin tried to speak.

She faced the old man in front of her, without any intention of backing down, and looked at the prince hiding behind her with great determination.

The old man holding the knife obviously knew the sin that the prince had committed. He just sighed helplessly, as if he had already become accustomed to such scenes.

Obviously, this is not the first or second time that he has to clean up the mess for this prince.

"I know, that's why I ask for your forgiveness, right? He has received the punishment he deserves, and you are the 'heroes' who rescued the prince. This kind of reputation is much better than being an assassin, right?"

The old man with the knife seemed to be trying to dissuade others, but in fact his tone was somewhat threatening.

If they don't become the "hero" who rescued the prince, they can only be the "assassin" who killed the prince. It is even possible that the previous crimes will be pinned on Ye Qing and others because of the disappearance of the middle-aged man.

And he must have the confidence to be able to threaten Ye Qing and others in this way.

Hearing the other party say this, Zhao Xin couldn't help but grit his teeth.

At this moment, she could also understand Ye Qing's worries about the heavy price that would be paid for killing the prince.

The group had just set foot on this strange land and had to confront the most powerful force in the entire continent. One can imagine the pressure they would face next.

Under such pressure, Zhao Xin hesitated, but Ye Qing sneered, and a silver-white sword appeared in her hand. She took a step forward without any intention of retreating.

"Are you so confident?"

"Then adventurer, why don't you try your sword skills with me?"

The old man holding the knife chuckled and made a stance with the long knife in his hand.

His health bar and level then appeared in front of Ye Qing. The level of 120 stunned the Zhao sisters.

The current upper limit of the player level is only level 80. Even the high-difficulty bosses are currently at most level 100. However, the old man with a knife in front of him is actually level 120.

Not to mention the issue of skill level, just the basic attributes alone are forty points higher than other players, and the only thing that can make up for the difference is equipment.

"Sister Ye Qing, don't listen to him, let's go together, a boss of this level..."

Zhao Xin couldn't help but speak in the team channel. They couldn't feel at ease letting Ye Qing face the level 120 boss alone.

What's more, this is the highest-level NPC that has ever been seen. If Ye Qing were to fail here, it would not be as simple as a simple death.

After being killed by a unit of too high a level, the penalty for challenging a higher level will cause the experience and item gains to decrease for a certain period of time.

But Ye Qing just waved his hand and chuckled.

"Leave it to me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qing took the first step.

The silver-white sword blade, accompanied by the light of the magic sword, instantly slashed towards the old man holding the knife in front of him. The ethereal light was fleeting, so that the old man holding the knife felt a little dazed.

It was not until the attack brushed past his wrinkled cheek that the old man with the knife realized the attack was coming, and he turned around and stabbed Ye Qing with his knife.

However, Ye Qing had already rushed to his side at this time, and the sword in his hand attacked from a tricky angle, stabbing directly at the old man's jaw.

There was only a crisp sound, and Ye Qing's sword blade seemed to hit an invisible barrier and bounced away immediately.
