The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl

Chapter 1106 - 1101: Three Hours

Xin Lin was not unfamiliar with Qingfeng Slope.

On her way to Qin Mountain, she passed by Qingfeng Slope. There is a river here that leads to a major river near Purple Cloud City. From there, following the water route for fifteen miles, there is a port, a necessary pass for daily commerce and salt transportation.

Due to the extremely important geographical location, many gangs have set their sights on it.

The two major gangs in Purple Cloud City are no exception.

In the past, the two gangs wouldn’t dare to fight here, but recently, because of the End of Year Assessment and the earlier happenings on Qin Mountain, the officials have had no time to deal with the gangs in the city, giving the two gangs an opportunity to strike.

When Xin Lin and Ma Jingtian arrived, it was around the third watch.

Qingfeng Slope was very quiet, not at all showing signs of a bloody battle.

But soon, Xin Lin caught a whiff of an unusual bloody scent in the air.

It seems the bloody fight has ended.

"This isn’t good, we’re too late."

Ma Jingtian stared intensely and saw bodies lying in disarray on the hillside. He hurried over to inspect.

Xin Lin also stepped forward to check on the injured survivors.

"More than half are dead; probably only a dozen or so are alive, each with missing limbs. Little Boss, things aren’t looking great. Among those left, there are people from both major gangs. A third party ambushed them."

Ma Jingtian reported.

"Find a few who can still talk and prioritize healing those with broken Martial Meridians. I have questions to ask."

Xin Lin hadn’t expected her momentary whim to actually lead her into such a big mess.

Right after Xin Lin spoke, a voice emerged in her mind.

"Random task released: Within the third watch hour, complete the treatment for ten patients with Broken Veins. Task completion will advance Vessel Continuation Technique by one level, task failure will deduct half of your money."

Xin Lin let out an "ugh."

Here it comes again!

Last time it was the prohibition of using Heaven-defying tools, this time it’s directly deducting money?

The Heaven-defying Book is becoming more capricious, always picking things to grieve Xin Lin.

Xin Lin initially thought that if this random task failed, it would at most deduct some Heaven-defying Value, which she had just used for enhancing Cultivation Technique, leaving not much worth mentioning. But unexpectedly, it’s deducting money.

She still had one million taels in silver notes left from last time, but these were all Murong Ziyue’s.

If Murong Ziyue gets into trouble this time, provided Xin Lin can heal her, it remains alright. If not, Xin Lin plans to use this million taels in silver notes to secretly send Murong Ziyue and her mother to a safe place.

This money is all life-saving money and can’t be touched.

Finding ten patients for meridian continuation isn’t easy; the survivors left are probably just around ten or so, and it must be completed within three hours.

Xin Lin suddenly felt her head swell like a bucket.

Meanwhile, Ma Jingtian searched around on Qingfeng Slope.

"I’m here to save people. Is there anyone with broken Martial Meridians?"

Ma Jingtian moved through the piles of dead bodies.

"Save... save me... my lung meridian is broken."

A weak voice came, and Ma Jingtian was delighted, hurriedly dragging out a person.

"Save... my leg is broken..."

Another voice followed.

"Broken leg? Hang tight, prioritize saving those with Broken Veins."

Ma Jingtian responded irritably, bringing the one with the broken lung meridian before Xin Lin.

The patient was a Xuanwu Practitioner of the Eighth and Ninth Layer from the gang; his chest had caved in, and his lung meridian was shattered into seven or eight pieces.

Xin Lin looked at the patient in front of her, recalling the Vessel Continuation Technique in her mind. She raised her delicate hand...
