Chapter 165 was resolved just like that.
Qingqing usually doesn't concern herself with such mundane matters; these material possessions have always been managed by the City Lord of Muyun City.
Everyone says that material possessions are not important, but without these things, how could Qingqing possibly manage the large amount of fresh blood she needs, the compensation for any incidents, the daily expenses of the city lord's mansion, and the food, clothing, housing, and transportation of her thousands of subordinates? None of these things can be separated from these material possessions.
The first two items alone nearly drained them, not to mention the huge compensation they had just paid to the Sword Sect.
Although Qingqing suffered greatly every day, this kind of life had continued for thousands of years. Especially since she met the city lord, he had always done his best to take good care of Qingqing.
If they hadn't run into the Sword Sect, which disrupted the City Lord's financial balance, the two of them might have been able to hold on for a while longer.
So even though Qingqing herself was determined to leave, the city lord still blamed the Sword Sect for it.
He originally intended to kill as many people as possible before he died to make his money's worth, but who would have thought that Qingqing would actually get involved with the spirit pet of the people over there.
That ugly little black bird turned out to be an old acquaintance of Qingqing's from when she was in the sky. Judging from Qingqing's attitude towards it, the city lord was actually a little jealous.
Who would have thought that the rugged-looking Lord of Muyun City would be such a love-struck fool?
Although the city lord of Muyun City was dissatisfied, he couldn't bear to go against Qingqing's wishes. As for Qingqing and the little black bird, Qiuqiu, he dared not express his anger.
However, since Qiuqiu had no memories of her past life, she couldn't talk much with Qingqing, and the conversation eventually turned to Qingqing.
Qingqing expressed her desire to die, and Qiuqiu offered to help.
In Qiuqiu's view, death is not the end, but merely a point in the cycle of life and death. Therefore, it lacks human fear and has no sympathy for Qingqing, such as "Oh my god, she's going to die, how pitiful..."
Following Qiuqiu's lead, rather than enduring physical pain and mental torment, it's better to quickly abandon the old body and start a new character.
The two of them reached an agreement, and the onlookers, especially the Seventh Elder of the Sword Sect and the Ancient Elder of the Pill Pavilion, truly breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, this matter can be resolved without reducing their personnel.
Of course, considering the city lord as an unstable factor, they still dared not let their guard down.
Qingqing and Qiuqiu had finished chatting. Now that she knew Qiuqiu possessed the Samadhi True Fire, she was determined to give it a try.
Before that, there are still some things to deal with in this world.
Under Qingqing's orders, the city lord of Muyun City gave his subordinates a large sum of severance pay, sending them to seek new masters.
The city lord's mansion has very few resources left, but the mansion itself is still worth some spirit stones.
After much deliberation, the City Lord of Muyun City entrusted Elder Gu with the sale of the City Lord's Mansion, with all proceeds to be used for charity. This was intended as a small way to atone for the sins committed by the two individuals.
Elder Gu originally disliked dealing with these mundane affairs, but he had no choice but to agree due to the circumstances.
"Isn't this a hundred times better than losing my life?" Elder Gu thought with a bittersweet smile: "Helping out with errands and doing some work is just a waste of time and energy, right? It's a small matter!"
Finally, Qingqing took the wisp of Samadhi True Fire given to her by the little phoenix Qiuqiu and, together with the city lord of Muyun City, found a barren place and set off on her journey.
Just as Qiuqiu said, the Samadhi True Fire was extremely powerful, and in the end, both the person and the zombie were reduced to ashes. They were scattered by the wind and disappeared into the world.
As for which world they will be reincarnated into, no one knows anymore.
Those who thought they were going to lose their lives were relieved to see the matter resolved so easily.
Leaving Elder Gu to handle the aftermath, the Seventh Elder and his wife tore open a spatial barrier and rushed back to the Sword Sect overnight.
Do you know why they were in such a hurry?
Don't forget that the Valley Master of Happy Valley and Lin Jun and other disciples of the Sword Sect who left earlier are still tasked with returning to the sect to recruit more people.
They were unaware that the matter had been resolved, and to avoid making everyone's trip in vain, they needed to hurry back and bring back the latest news.
They originally planned to each take one child, bringing Lin Zhifeng and Ding Mo back to the sect as well. Although this operation was quite costly, the Seventh Elder and his wife were willing to help.
However, Lin Zhifeng and Ding Mo declined the elders' offer. The reason was simple: now that the unexpected incident had been resolved, Lin Zhifeng and his companions intended to continue their original plan: to continue collecting materials for the Refining Void Pill.
In addition, Lin Zhifeng also wanted to resell the various pills he had previously refined, and also inquire about his father, the sect leader Lin Yuan.
The Seventh Elder had no choice but to temporarily entrust them to Elder Gu's care, and instructed Lin Zhifeng not to be mischievous. With Ding Mo around, he could finally relax a little.
Elder Gu naturally expressed his willingness to take good care of them.
The Seventh Elder and his wife then tore open the spatial barrier and hurriedly returned to their sect.
The next day, Lin Zhifeng was still resting in his temporary room at Yudan Pavilion when his uncle, Fengbao, suddenly appeared in the room.
Lin Zhifeng was surprised and quickly greeted his uncle, then offered him a seat to rest.
Lin Zhifeng asked about his uncle's purpose in coming.
Storm said, "It's all because of your encounter with the drought demon. Fang Yuan came back with the junior disciples of your sect. This morning, he reported to me as soon as he returned to the Divine Sword Sect. I heard that you had stayed in Muyun City without knowing the dangers, and I was afraid that something might have happened to you, so I immediately tore open space and rushed here."
Lin Zhifeng was so moved he almost cried—even his own uncle could probably only do this much, right? What did Lin Zhifeng do to deserve such favor from Feng Bao?
Lin Zhifeng got up to bow in gratitude, but was stopped by the storm.
Storm said, "You don't need to stand on ceremony with me." Then, he asked with concern, "So how is things progressing? What are your plans? When are you going to take action? Now that I'm here, I can also lend a hand."
Lin Zhifeng said, "Thank you for your concern, Uncle. Now that this matter has been resolved, the follow-up work will be arranged by Elder Gu of the Pill Pavilion. Ding Mo and I originally had nothing to do here, but we both wanted to buy some materials for Refining Void Pills, and I also wanted to inquire about my father's whereabouts, otherwise we would have returned to the sect with Seventh Elder yesterday."
Upon hearing that the matter had been resolved, Feng Bao breathed a sigh of relief. He also heard that his old friend, Elder Gu of Dan Ge, was also there, so he decided to stay and see his old friend first.
