Four years later.

"The businesswoman who emerged from Qingyun Street is getting bigger and bigger."

"Not that, there are not only restaurants, tailor shops, jade shops, guqin shops, etc., but I heard that they also operate various industries such as winemaking, papermaking, vinegar, ceramics, purple clay teapots, etc., and the stalls are very large."

"Good, these combined together will make you worth over one million, right?"

"It's long past!"

"This is just in Yaoguang City. If it were the territories on the sea, I would be afraid that it would be, hehe..."

"You don't know this. "Weekly Journal" is a crouching tiger and hidden dragon. Not only do they know how to do business, but they are even the best-in-class guards. I heard that they have also raised many strange people."

"No wonder..."

"Besides, what a person we are the city lord is? I wish there were more chambers of commerce like this, the better. A million-dollar net worth is naturally out of reach for us, but in the eyes of the city lord, it is just a drop in the bucket."

Fugui Restaurant.

Zhou Qin and Xu Jun were having fun, with fire rabbit meat, phoenix tail cocktails, black mutton, thick earth pork belly, foie gras, rays, and ice-flaming shrimps, all over the table.

"Brother Qin, is the businesswoman they are talking about? Is it your tenant?" Xu Jun asked in a low voice.

"It should be."

"Your yard is so prosperous. You have a sword-making master before, but now you have a richest woman."

"That's not, otherwise, I don't have the money to treat you to a big meal."

With Zhou Qin's nature, of course he likes to make a fortune in silence, and the lower the key, the better.

Zhou Ying doesn't think so.

If you rent a shop and have to go to the city lord's office to go through the procedures, it is difficult to avoid the investigation of those who are interested. If you deliberately cover it up, you will seem guilty.

Not as good as being upright.

This not only creates the reputation of the Chamber of Commerce, attracts traffic to new stores, but also facilitates loans from banks.

At least on Qingyun Street,

"Weekly Diary" is already a well-known golden sign.

On business practices,

Zhou Qin is indeed not as good as Zhou Ying.

"By the way," Xu Jun remembered the most important thing, picked up the juice in his hand, and said solemnly: "Brother Qin, tomorrow is the day to awaken the Horcrux. I wish you good luck in advance!"

"Thanks!"

Zhou Qin blinked his eyelids and smiled bitterly in his heart: "The good days are coming to an end."

…………

Back home,

Zhou Ying and Zhang Yajiu are still waiting.

"Young Master, there will be no problem with tomorrow's Horcrux Awakening Ceremony, right?" Zhou Ying was very worried.

Four years together day and night

I have long regarded Zhou Qin as my own brother.

"It's hard to say, I have a premonition that I will awaken the territory's stone tablet."

With systemic tone,

It is impossible to let Zhou Qin stay in the city all his life.

otherwise,

What are the uses of those cards behind?

Fortunately, Zhou Qin had already completed psychological construction and has been prepared for this in the past four years.

"If that's the case, I'll go with the young master!"

"Me too!"

"No, no, no," Zhou Qin shook his head and said with a smile: "I really have reached that point. Can I survive in the sea of ​​fallen leaves? I hope you can make money in Yaoguang City."

…………

The next day, the Soul Hall in the Five Districts of the Outer City West.

According to the Imperial Law, all citizens over the age of eighteen will conduct a horde of awakening on New Year's Day to determine their profession in the Void Dream.

"Brother Qin!"

Although Xu Jun was only seventeen years old, he came to watch early.

"Boy, it came earlier than me."

Zhou Qin smiled and punched Xu Jun. His outfit today was different from usual. Not only did he change the sword on his waist to Crow Nine Swords, but he was wearing fish scale iron armor and heart protection glasses.

The Horcrux Awakening Rite begins soon.

"Chen**, Horcrux—scissors!"

"Li **, Horcrux—Long Sword!"

"Zhang**, Horcrux - Yuzhu!"

...

Those who awaken the tools were very happy, but those who awaken the weapons were frowning.

It's too dangerous outside,

It is safest to be a craftsman in the city.

"Wang Hao, Horcrux - Territory Stele!"

"Hiss~~~"

The air in the hall solidified, silent.

Everyone subconsciously held their breath and cast sympathetic eyes at Wang Hao.

"Wang Hao is dead now..."

"It's so difficult to die for ten lives."

"Don't you know? Wang Hao's second brother is a senior executive of the Fire Mercenary Group." Someone broke the news.

"Firefire Mercenary Group? That is the top 20 mercenary group in Yaoguang City."

"Good guy, hiding deep enough."

"No wonder Wang Hao looked calm. It turned out that he had a backer. Maybe he could really make a name for himself in the sea of ​​fallen leaves."

"Congratulations, gloriously becoming a Void Lord!"

The official of Yaoguang City who presided over the awakening ceremony smiled and handed Wang Hao a teleportation scroll, "According to the imperial laws and regulations, please leave Yaoguang City immediately and go to the Luoyehai to establish a new territory. I wish you a prosperous martial arts!"

"Thank you, thank you!"

Wang Hao's hand that took the teleportation scroll was actually trembling slightly.

Where is the sea of ​​fallen leaves?

It's simply a purgatory on earth.

It was soon Zhou Qin's turn to press his palm on the Soul-Suppressing Stone Monument. The soul power surged out of the stone monument, and various shapes such as hammers, long swords, hoes, etc. were transformed into his palm.

It was about to be frozen into a long sword.

At this moment, the card drawing interface of "The Great Summoner" turned into a white light and was thrown into the long sword that was about to be formed. The latter shocked violently, cracked and turned into countless pieces.

It was filled with a massive amount of soul power and formed a square stone tablet.

"really……"

Zhou Qin had no expression on his face.

The hall fell into strange silence again, "Another, another unlucky guy?"

"No way? It's evil."

"This... there is no third one, right?" The person behind him panicked.

"How could this happen? How could this happen..." Xu Jun was distraught and his face was pale.

"Hey, Zhou Qin is an orphan, helpless, but not as lucky as Wang Hao."

“It’s so miserable,”

"It's like ten deaths and no life."

Many people feel sorry for Zhou Qin's tragic fate, but they are powerless.

This is the world of killing,
To be continued...
