Chapter 197: Partners in Crime!
Huang Ziqing’s condition didn’t look very good.
The main issue was the increasingly noticeable dark circles under his eyes, making him appear sickly…
However, judging by the way the guild members of Feike Heavy Industry were acting around him, it was clear they were very satisfied with their guild leader Huang Ziqing, even revering him!
Because…
Huang Ziqing was too strong!
Under his leadership, the members of Feike Heavy Industry were slaughtering platinum-tier bosses like they were killing dogs!
When Huang Ziqing appeared, many of the core members of Feike Heavy Industry gathered around him.
In contrast, the gaunt Reaper ‘Gao Daxia’ seemed rather lonely and isolated.
However, the old man ‘Gao Daxia’ clearly didn’t mind.
After adding Huang Ziqing as a game friend, he gave a slightly unsettling chuckle and said, “Not bad. Want to talk?”
Huang Ziqing glanced at him and sent a private message, “Do you know how high the stealth level of Shadow is? Are you sure you can see him?”
The thin, old Reaper kept his unsettling smile and responded, “I’ve seen Shadow when he was stealthed. Is that enough? In Jianghai City, I watched him riding his dragon, flying invisibly…”
“No matter how high his stealth level is, he won’t escape my eyes! I come with sincerity. We can work together and kill Shadow! After we kill him, I need his corpse.”
A corpse?
What did this old man want with Shadow’s corpse?
Huang Ziqing privately speculated.
But he wasn’t a fool.
He coldly responded, “You’re overthinking it. Shadow has no enmity with me, why would I kill him?”
The Reaper’s laugh grew colder. “Huang Ziqing, I see you’re doing well as a guild leader… If you want to keep going, you’d better listen to me, or one word from me, and you’ll have nowhere to run…”
“You know what’s buried two meters deep in your backyard, don’t you? I don’t need to say more, right? The official inspectors are pretty good these days. Don’t think your hiding is foolproof. You never know when…”
At this point in the private message, Huang Ziqing’s expression changed slightly.
The deepest secret in his heart had been exposed. For a moment, the young man was momentarily panicked, but quickly regained his composure.
He sneered and looked at the gaunt old man in the black robe. “Are you threatening me?”
“Haha, haha…”
The Reaper gave a dry chuckle and continued in private chat, “This isn’t a threat, I’m just telling you, young man, I can help you, as long as you’re willing to help me…”
Huang Ziqing smiled. “You want me to help you kill Shadow. Do you know how dangerous that is? What can you help me with?”
The Reaper casually replied, “The Magic City now has inspectors who have reached tier three. Even if only ashes of a corpse remain, or the person has been dead for years, they can still trace the killer. No matter how you dispose of the body, one day it will be exposed.”
“And I can help you collect the body!”
This was explosive!
In any context, this would be an insult.
Yet Huang Ziqing didn’t get angry. Instead, he fell into thought.
After a while, he raised his head, his eyes beneath the dark circles gleaming with amusement. “Since you’ve put it that way, I can play along, but the premise is you prove you can see Shadow!”
“As long as you can really see Shadow, with my current skills, killing him is not impossible.”
The gaunt old Reaper chuckled dryly.
With a meaningful smile, he displayed his current talent panel in the private chat.
Huang Ziqing was instantly shocked!
Because talents were the most private thing for every player, and even siblings might not share them with each other…
But this old man directly showed him his talent panel?
That was sincere!
And most importantly…
The effect of this talent was just mind-blowing!
Huang Ziqing gasped. “With this talent, what good is stealth?!”
Immediately, Huang Ziqing and the old man exchanged a knowing look.
They were partners in crime, both with their own agendas, scheming against each other, each thinking they had the upper hand, confident that ‘Shadow’ was already in their grasp…

Meanwhile, Qin Feng had already returned to the dark ruins outside Jianghai City.
However, before leaving the ‘Judgment Grounds’, he exchanged some words with Ashashis and learned some conditions regarding the Judgment rewards.
“The stronger the target’s power, the deeper the sin, the better the rewards after judgment.”
“But what counts as a deeper sin?”
“We’ll have to figure that out slowly…”
“Also, as the Judgment Blade’s attributes increase, the rewards for the same-tier targets will gradually decrease, until there are no rewards…”
“According to Ashashis, since players are too weak at this stage, even if there are more targets to judge, the Judgment Blade’s divine attribute can only be increased to about 100 points?”
As Qin Feng pondered, he left the dark ruins.
For now, he had cleared most of the boss coordinates in Jianghai City and Magic City under the officials’ control.
This was a great opportunity for leveling.
But before hunting monsters, he planned to visit the Jinling City ruins.
Because the entrance to the ‘Void of Wrongful Death,’ where one could obtain a mask, was located just outside the Jinling City ruins!
When Qin Feng returned to the Jianghai City ruins, he didn’t hurry to teleport.
Instead, he kept his stealth active and moved through the crowd.
Along the way, he overheard some news.
—“The player from Kyoto with the codename ‘Shiki Da,’ has been killing people in the game without restraint, and even the officials couldn’t do anything about it. Today, the terrifying NPC ‘Executioner of Slaughter’ finally caught him and threw him into jail!”
Qin Feng knew this.
There had been many players killed by the Executioner of Slaughter worldwide.
Each of them had been sent to the mysterious ‘Atonement Prison,’ with sentences ranging from three years to three hundred years.
During this time, players in the prison couldn’t level up at all!
Although they could log off, the remaining time on their sentence wouldn’t decrease while offline.
In other words…
Once imprisoned in the Atonement Prison, they wouldn’t be able to level up for at least three years!
This was the reason Qin Feng had been suppressing his ‘Kill Points’!
At least for now, he wasn’t a match for the Executioner of Slaughter. If caught, it was game over!
—“Magic City Bank collapses! 1500 years of life expectancy vanishes! Can we still trust the new era’s banks?”
This news…
Qin Feng felt like it had something to do with him, or maybe it didn’t?
He shook his head and dismissed the thought.
—“The Feike Heavy Industry guild in Magic City, led by their guild leader, easily slaughtered a platinum-tier boss! Using several allegedly epic-level curse skills, they toyed with the boss!”
Upon hearing the name of Feike Heavy Industry, Qin Feng paid a bit more attention.
“Huang Ziqing? The son of Huang Huifen?”
“Several suspected epic-level curse skills…”
“Could that brat have gotten his hands on the ‘Abyss Curse Vase’?”
