The girl suddenly took out the sword from her back, but she did not swing it towards Ye Qing and Zhao Manying, but instead strung together a stack of talismans.

As the girl danced the sword rapidly, the two men could roughly tell that she was drawing talismans in the air.

The burning talisman paper turned into ashes in mid-air, then scattered, and then formed complex patterns in the air, which were immediately imprinted on all sides of the room.

"This is just a small trick to prevent eavesdropping. Please forgive me if it offends you."

Dick bowed to the two of them, and the girl stopped moving, and the wooden sword in her hand returned to the scabbard.

Ye Qing was quite curious about this peculiar method.

In fact, players' exploration of the Eastern Continent has always been limited in the past. In addition to the huge map itself, the revival of the Demon King in the Western Continent is also an important reason.

Zhao Manying naturally didn't mind this, and there was no debuff displayed in their status bar, so she simply gestured for the other party to continue speaking.

"Although the forces on the other side may be cultivators, behind us... is actually the city lord's forces."

Dick had a complicated expression and it was difficult for him to squeeze out these words.

He didn't know why, but Dick felt that if he told everything to the two people in front of him, he might still have a chance. But if he kept hiding it, he would most likely miss this opportunity that was within his grasp.

"Just the city lord?"

Before Zhao Manying could speak, Ye Qing behind her suddenly spoke.

After hearing Ye Qing's greeting, Dick almost subconsciously wanted to answer, but he immediately realized what Ye Qing was referring to.

The power of the city lord does not necessarily represent the official power.

"...Just the city lord."

After Dick said this, he suddenly felt unsure.

Everyone knows what immortal cultivators mean in the Eastern Continent. If there is no official power, as long as one immortal cultivator is attacked, other immortal cultivator forces may rise up to attack.

These people are just talking about the "right path" in words, and except for children, probably no one would believe these immortal cultivators.

Zhao Manying actually thought so too, and she was almost about to make the decision to refuse.

"Okay, we'll take over this matter."

Ye Qing nodded and said to Dick with a smile.

Until this moment, Dick looked at Ye Qing in a daze.

Chapter 47 Both Ends

Not only Dick was surprised, even Zhao Manying was a little surprised.

Logically speaking, this matter is a tricky mess, even Dick himself doesn't dare to act rashly, so why does Ye Qing plan to take it over?

Having known Ye Qing for such a long time, Zhao Manying has never seen Ye Qing act impulsively.

Since she did this, maybe she had her reasons.

Thinking of this, Zhao Manying no longer considered this issue, but continued to look at Dick calmly.

"Who is this......"

Dick was also a little unsure. Although he was not a blind man, he had never seen Ye Qing's skills, so he was somewhat unconvinced by what Ye Qing said.

As a host, he even had to carefully ask who the other person was.

The absurd things that happened in this room today were probably more than he had ever experienced in his entire life.

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Miss Zhao's companion. Just call me Ling. I have full authority over your commissions."

Ye Qing smiled and leaned forward slightly.

For some reason, when she made this little movement, the girl standing behind Dick became obviously alert and subconsciously reached out to grasp the hilt of the sword.

Such a "dangerous" behavior was naturally noticed by Dick, which raised his evaluation of Ye Qing to a higher level.

Perhaps he is a mortal who can only judge the strength of his opponent by observing with his naked eyes.

But the girl behind him was not the same. She was wary when facing this "Zero", and could even be said to be afraid.

So......

"Excuse me, excuse me!"

Dick quickly clasped his hands together, stood up and wanted to salute Zero.

But before he could bend down, Ye Qing had already grabbed his fists and shook his head at him.

"Since I've decided to take over this matter, there's no need to beat around the bush. You need to explain the specific situation to us."

Although Ye Qing's voice was calm, it sounded like touching gospel to Dick in front of him.

However, the moment he raised his head and looked at Ye Qing, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

The reason was simple. After seeing the pair of red-gold eyes, Dick seemed to remember those terrifying beasts that were depicted in the murals and could summon the wind and rain.

Fifteen minutes later, Dick finally left the room.

The two people hiding in the room then slowly walked out. Seeing Ye Qing sitting at the table in distress, Miss Yun showed a playful smile on her face.

"Why, our invincible Lord Zero also has troubles?"

Compared to Lin Jue's worries, Miss Yun's weird look really deserves a beating.

I don't know what she is thinking. Ever since the incident in Port City, she has been trying to pick on Ye Qing in some way, overtly or covertly.

Compared to when he was in the Western Continent, he was like a completely different person.

"Don't make any noise, this is very important."

Ye Qing ignored her sarcasm and looked at the information in front of him with a serious expression.

The two people who were behind the scenes naturally heard what Dick said.

Having not had contact with the outside world for more than ten years, even with the information Ying Chu had instilled in him, Lin Jue didn't know what to do.

On the contrary, Miss Yun, who had left the Eastern Continent for a thousand years, seemed to have no psychological burden at this moment.

"What's so complicated? Just like in the Shadow City, we can just kill them all and all the troubles will be solved, right?"

Miss Yun sat directly next to Ye Qing. Her voice was like a magic sound that could bewitch people's hearts and sounded full of temptation.

The plan she proposed was indeed the simplest and most brutal one. As long as Ye Qing relied on his personal strength and went straight to the door, the problem would be solved.

At least on the surface, it can indeed be "solved" directly.

Anyway, the people who caused the problems have disappeared, so naturally there will be no problems.

"If I solve the problem this way, do you think you can come back here alive?"

Ye Qing retorted unhappily. What she hated most was being interrupted when she was thinking.

If Miss Yun could give some useful advice, she would tolerate the negative comments.

“Yes, yes~~”

Miss Yun simply nodded in agreement, and did not forget to pass her hand across her mouth and make a zipper gesture, as if to show that she would not talk any more.

Compared with her attitude, Lin Jue looked at Ye Qing with great concern.

"If we really want to go to war with the forces of immortal cultivators, I'm afraid it won't just be a matter of chances of winning, Lord Ling."

There is an extremely exaggerated gap in individual strength between cultivators and mortals.

It can even be said that even if the number of immortal cultivators is small, they are still able to crush mortals in terms of combat power, which is one of the reasons why many of their atrocities can be carried out.

Ye Qing also nodded. She naturally knew the difference.

If they took the risk of being besieged by the group of immortal cultivators at this time, they would probably have a hard time on their journey.

"But I would like to see what level the gang members who are supported by the so-called immortal cultivators are at."

Ye Qing felt that this matter was a bit weird from beginning to end.

Dick might not be as "innocent" as he said, and the connection between the other party and the immortal cultivator might not be that close.

When everything seems wrong, someone must be lying or deliberately omitting certain information.

Since Dick didn't open up to him, there was no need for him to be their "knife".

"What's wrong?"

Zhao Manying was keenly aware of Ye Qing's attitude. If it were in the past, she would never beat around the bush if she could help directly.

Coupled with Ye Qing’s decisiveness before, Zhao Manying felt something was not right.

Perhaps because of her intuition as a police officer in the past, Zhao Manying was also a little confused about what Dick said. It seemed that the whole thing was too awkward.

"I don't know. Anyway, I have to contact the gang on the other side before I can make a judgment. Manying, you stay put for now. I'm going to go out for a while."

Ye Qing shook her head. Without knowing more exact information, she couldn't give an accurate answer.

Since we are going to take action, we must figure it out first.

Elsewhere in the city, in a residential area near the southeast corner, there is an area separated by a barrier.

People who were also in the residential area were blocked outside, with the transparent barrier as the dividing line, and stayed at the other end as if clearly divided.

At the edge of the barrier, there were many thugs in black robes patrolling around with shining machetes.

The two sides seemed to maintain some kind of subtle tacit understanding. Ordinary people nearby didn't even dare to look, and those thugs would not take the initiative to cross the barrier.

There have been people who have tried to cross the barrier and seek help from the so-called "immortal" before, but the result was always the same: either they disappeared or were beaten half to death and thrown out.

This situation has continued for many years until today.

"Hey, girl over there, stop it!!"

The black-robed thugs on the border shouted loudly, with the machetes in their hands already at their sides, ready to swing at any time.

The thugs around were also alarmed by the shouting, but did not rush over here immediately.

Over the years, there are still people who are desperate and come to them for help.

But today is obviously different. His whole temperament seems even more extraordinary than that of an immortal.

"I'm just here to look for someone, no need to get so excited, right?"

Ye Qing stood in front of the barrier with a smile on his face. The reconnaissance spell had already swept across the barrier, and the method of dealing with it had already emerged in his mind.

It's not a very sophisticated defensive formation. If one wants to call himself a so-called "immortal", this level is probably still far from enough.

It's not like she hasn't seen "immortals" of high level before, and she had once killed an immortal with extremely strong combat power.

If we rely on the game mechanics to make our judgment, then the barrier that is currently being cast is nothing more than an enlarged version of the Holy Light Barrier.

"Who are you looking for? This is not the place to look for relatives!"

Although the thug's tone was harsh, he did not dare to be too presumptuous in his words.

After all, the person in front of him was different from ordinary people at first glance. If she was really some important figure, it would be a loss for a small person like me to offend her.

"I'm here to look for the immortal. Please go and inform him. I'll give you a quarter of an hour."

Ye Qing glanced at the timer. This quarter of an hour didn't have any special meaning. It was just time for him to log off and have dinner.

But for the man in black robe, the pressure suddenly surged into his heart, and the hand holding the machete unconsciously tightened the handle.

Is it just bluffing, or is it true?

If ordinary people wanted to ask to see the immortal, how many of them would dare to put on such an attitude? I'm afraid they would be beheaded before they even see the immortal.

But if not, if I go and inform the Immortal like this, I will be in a lot of trouble later.

"Start the timer now. I'll wait here."

Ye Qing looked at the man in black robe calmly. At this moment, she didn't need to say too many words. Such pressure alone was enough to make the other party waver.

Excessive actions or excessive words may cause further suspicion from the other party and cause unnecessary trouble.

The man in black robe hesitated again and again, with a hint of panic in his eyes. Finally, he clasped his hands together and bowed to Ye Qing.

"I will report this to the Immortal Lord. Please wait here."

After saying that, the man in black robe signaled his companions to keep an eye on Ye Qing. He put the machete on his waist and wanted to run inside.

Ye Qing simply sat on the ground, seemingly not caring at all whether the surrounding area was clean or not. There were even fallen leaves around her that had not been swept away.
