"I think you're all curious about your own experiences. To be honest, we are also victims, and of course, beneficiaries." Luo Shengyi said with a smile.

  Meng Qi's evaluation of him was overbearing, liking to control the entire team, a natural leader, so it wasn't surprising that he spoke first, quietly listening as he roughly explained the Six Paths Reincarnation and the world of reincarnation.

  But those three newcomers did not show any expression of disbelief, they listened attentively and silently to the end, with a thoughtful expression.

  "This time the new recruits aren't bad at all..." Meng Qi silently praised.

  The calm and serene girl in the middle, holding a seven-stringed zither, slightly nodded her head and said: "Whoever can quietly take me away from home without making a sound must be at least a top-ranked expert. Whether it's the Wheel of Rebirth or not, I'll understand once I see the task. Let me take a look at the exchange list first."

  After she finished speaking, she walked towards the central light pillar with elegant and light footsteps, neither hastily nor slowly.

  A sharp-eyed man in his thirties was taken aback for a moment, smiled apologetically at Meng Qi and the others, and also went to the central light column.

  A gentle and calm-looking scholar-like man smiled bitterly: "I learned martial arts only for self-protection and traveling, seeing the vast mountains and rivers, never thinking of fighting with people to the death. I didn't expect to be trapped in this cycle world now. May I ask your honorable surnames? My name is Ge Huaien."

  Very calm, with a good attitude, Meng Qi was about to respond when he heard Luo Shengyi say: "Since everyone is teammates, sharing life and death, I won't report a fake name either. My surname is Luo, my name is Shengyi, I've opened the eight gates, I'm skilled at using fists, and have some small fame."

  "Are you Luo Shengyi, the 'Iron Fist Invincible' ranked thirty-first on the Human Rankings?" The astute man had just walked to the central light pillar when he suddenly turned his head back in astonishment, never expecting that the man before him was actually a high-ranking expert from the Human Rankings.

  Luo Shengyi nodded slightly and pointed at Meng Qi: "This is 'Thunderbolt Mad Monk' Zhen Ding."

  X! Who allowed you to call me by that nickname?! Meng Qi gritted his teeth and glared at Luo Shengyi, hastily adding: "That's a misnomer spread among the Jianghu people, my true nickname is 'Sword Shattering Star River', you can call me Little Meng."

  The name Meng Qi is still familiar to everyone, and it's still useful for traveling around!

  The cool girl and the astute man both looked at Meng Qi, took a glance at his left sword and right knife appearance, and nodded slightly, somewhat believing in his identity.

  "Unexpectedly, the two of you are top-notch players. I am Cao Zhan, the leader of the Da Jiang Gang, and have already opened up four apertures." The astute man said with a bit of trepidation.

  Da Jiang helped Xiang Zhu, Meng Qi suddenly thought of Qi Xia and Yan Wujiang, and suddenly felt a little sentimental.

  A calm and serene girl replied indifferently: "Langui Ruan Shi Ruan Yushu."

  "Is she the daughter of the head of the Ruan family?" Luo Shengyi asked without revealing his surprise.

  Meng Qi thought of Ruan Xian's "Duoren Qin" from Langya.

  At this time, he suddenly felt a blackout in front of his eyes, and the voice of the Lord of the Six Paths echoed in his ears:

  The Western Barbarians invaded the East, winning battle after battle, and the imperial court was in chaos. Some advocated for peace talks, while others advocated for war. The pro-war faction recommended that Lu Guanfu, who had created the "Iron Mountain Army" years ago, come out of retirement to lead the army and drive back the Western Barbarians.

  Lu Guan seemed to be making a comeback, and some high-ranking officials in the court were uneasy. They sent out their own skilled men to intercept him midway and assassinate him. The Demon Gate also took advantage of the chaos to plot something sinister.

  "Lu Guan bears the hopes of the world on his shoulders, and many Jianghu people rush to assist him."

  "Main Quest 1: Escort Lu Guan safely into the capital and meet up with Luo Shengyi's group. Successful completion rewards 200 good deeds, failure deducts corresponding good deeds, and Main Quest 2 cannot be unlocked."

  "Branch Task One: Lead the newcomers. After the task is completed, each surviving newcomer will be rewarded with 200 good deeds. Failure will not be punished."

  "Branch Task 2: Kill the notorious 'Huetong' to gain the trust of Lu Guan's Guardian Leader, reward 50 merits for success, no penalty for failure."

  "Branch Task Three: A Reincarnator died in this world, leaving behind the 'Undying Seal Method' secret manual which was obtained by a nameless junior of the Demon Gate, becoming an evil ruler. Kill 'Evil Ruler' Guan Ying, cut off the transmission of the 'Undying Seal Method', reward 300 Virtue Points and the 'Undying Seal Method' secret manual upon success, no punishment for failure."

  The light in front of him returned, and Meng Qi was slightly stunned, because the last task completely exceeded his expectations. The death of the reincarnator actually provided a foundation for the rise of an unknown small character in this world, making him one of the top masters in this world.

  This made Meng Qi feel for the first time that the world of reincarnation and the reincarnators were closely related, no longer just completing tasks and leaving with a pat on the butt, without taking away a single speck of dust in isolation.

  "Just exchanged Tian Dao, and immediately encountered the Undead Seal Method. Is it really going to be a battle between Tian Dao and the Undead..." Meng Qi thought with a sudden leap of his mind.

  "...'Yue Xi Hu' Gao Tong has repeatedly tried to kill the reclusive Lu Yuan Shuai, but unfortunately, he is cunning and will hide at the slightest movement, making it impossible for us to assassinate him. I beg of you two gentlemen to get rid of this despicable person, so that we can escort Lu Yuan Shuai into the capital without any further worries." A middle-aged man with a square face was speaking to Meng Qi and the calm and cool girl Ruan Yu Shu about Gao Tong's affairs.

  Three people are in a simple house, with no one else nearby. It is clear that Lu Guan is hiding somewhere else and can only be seen after gaining the trust of this guard leader, starting the main quest.

  Meng Qi looked around and found that only the cold and elegant girl Ruan Yushu was by his side. His heart moved, and he understood that Ge Huaien and Cao Zhan were with Luo Shengyi, and they would have to meet in the capital city.

  "General Lu is revered throughout the land, please also tell me where Gao Tong is hiding, and I will go take his head." Meng Qi said with a quick wit but slow speech.

  From the beginning, a figure should be established, an image in other people's eyes, which is conducive to making unexpected moves later on. A cold and detached master of swords is just the right kind of image to create.

  However, Meng Qi judged from the amount of good deeds rewarded that Qualcomm's strength was not too strong, and the difficulty of this task might be elsewhere.

  The leader of the guards nodded in satisfaction: "Gao Tong is the master of the Yue Xi gang, and at any time he has a guard with skills close to those of a top-notch expert protecting him. His own strength is also good, similarly close to that of a top-notch expert. However, the biggest problem is that he is a coward, skilled in lightness kung fu and hiding. As long as his guards block for a moment, he will escape. And Yue Xi is his territory, after hiding, even the sect master may not be able to find him."

  "So, one strike must kill." Meng Qi looked at the leader of the guards, without asking what a top-notch expert was, which would reveal his true intentions. By observing the movements of Gao Tong and his guards later, he could roughly gauge their strength.

  "Yes." The leader of the guards immediately gave a rough description of Gao Tong's appearance, martial arts style, and favorite places to visit, so that Meng Qi and Ruan Yushu could assassinate him. Finally, he said, "I am a child born in the Lu family, named Lu Zhongqi, older than you two, just call me Brother Zhongqi."

  Meng Ruan and the other person each reported their names, left the house, and stepped onto the street.

  Compared to the spring-to-summer climate of the main world, it was clearly autumn here. The evening air was crisp and slightly chilly, making Meng Qi unable to help but take a deep breath.

  "At this time, if there's nothing else going on, Gao Tong will definitely go to his own Yue Xiu Building to drink and eat. He might even call over two hostesses or discuss business. Let's go wait at the Yue Xiu Building." Meng Qi was confident in his own abilities, but he wouldn't boast about being able to take down heavily guarded Gao Tong with one hit without understanding his opponent's strength level.

  Ruan Yushu nodded slightly, a polite smile floating on his face, but it was clear that he was distant, making him seem even more cold and elegant.

  The two men didn't say much and soon entered the Yue Xiu Building. As it happened, Gao Tong's group was right in front of them.

  Gao Tong had a distinctive appearance, with several flesh-colored moles on his forehead. At first glance, he looked like the character for "king", so his nickname was "Yue Xi Hu". Meng Qi recognized him at a glance.

  He was surrounded by a man with quick hands and feet in all directions, and the outer layer was the crowd of Yue Xi Gang, with clear hierarchy, quite good.

  "From the footsteps and control of going upstairs, it's all at the level of opening up to four orifices." After entering the Dugu Nine Swords, Meng Qi's eyesight became more outstanding.

  Then he looked at Ruan Yushu: "You go to the back street and wait, prevent Gao Tong from jumping off the building and escaping, I have confidence in solving the problem head-on within five breaths."

  This is the worst-case scenario. With Meng Qi's unpredictable movements, Jin Zhongzhao's Golden Bell Shield and Dugu Jiu Jian's abilities, as long as they find the right opportunity, they can break through Gao Tong's defense in just two or three breaths.

  Ruan Yushu slightly furrowed his brow: "Actually, it's not necessary to go through so much trouble."

  "Huh?" Meng Qi looked at her with a questioning gaze.

  "Book a room next to Qualcomm's and you're all set." Ruan Yushu raised an eyebrow, calm and composed.

  Meng Qi decided to test her abilities and spent a lot of money booking the room on the left side of Gao Tong.

  After entering the house, Meng Qi casually ordered eight dishes and then sat down, listening to the movements next door, where there were sounds of silk and bamboo instruments, but no obscene language.

  "It seems Qualcomm is treating us to a feast." Meng Qi judged.

  Qualcomm was very careful, sitting far away from the wall, lest he be stabbed to death through the thick wooden board with a divine soldier's sharp weapon.

  Ruan Yushu's ears moved slightly, and he nodded slightly before putting down the ancient seven-stringed zither in his hand and sitting up straight to play it.

  "At this time still have the leisure to play the piano..." Meng Qi felt a bit strange.

  The sound of the zither is sometimes thick and heavy, sometimes clear and crisp, just like a mountain stream, with a profound and far-reaching artistic conception.

  Ruan Yushu's fingers danced on the strings, and the sound of the qin suddenly soared, yet without being piercing to the ear.

  Huawei and humans sat on both sides of a round table, listening to the powder head playing the pipa, looking elegant.

  The sound of the guqin had grown faint by the time it reached this side, and he didn't feel disturbed. To someone who didn't understand music, the sound of the guqin from across seemed more pleasant, as if it contained a rhythm that harmonized with his own body, like everyone's handwriting.

  Suddenly, the piano sound became high-pitched, and Gao Tong felt his heart beating violently.

  The sound of the zither became higher and more intense, more urgent, and the heartbeat also changed with it.

  His brain was congested, wanting to speak, it was already difficult to open his mouth, and his vision became blurred.

  Clang!

  The guqin emitted a cracking sound like a killer move, almost piercing through metal and stone.

  Bang!

  Qualcomm seemed to have heard the "shattering" of his own heart, and suddenly everything went black. His body slowly slumped onto the table, knocking over a wine glass, spilling liquid everywhere, and filling the air with the aroma of wine.

  "Leader!" The surrounding guards rushed up, seeing Gao Tong's pupils scattered, blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth, and he had stopped breathing. However, the blood at the corner of his mouth was not the black blood of poisoning, but bright red blood that seemed to be dripping.

  How did the boss die? Did he just mysteriously die?

  In the room, except for Gao Tong, there is nothing unusual!

  Ruan Yushu stopped playing and looked at Meng Qi with a hint of sweat on his forehead: "Alright."

  Meng Qi's mouth twitched slightly. Langya Ruan was indeed one of the fourteen major families, and it was no wonder that they were extraordinary and had their own unique characteristics.

  At this time, the second sent over the dishes, and next door and outside were noisy, someone came to take a look, found that it was a couple's secret meeting, and there was no trace of approaching this wall, so they retreated again.

  They have yet to figure out Qualcomm's cause of death, and it is naturally difficult to investigate the murderer.

  Compared with Meng Qi and Ruan Yushu next door, the little second who delivered vegetables, the chef who cooked, and the people they met along the way were more suspicious.

  "Branch mission two completed, High Tong is dead, each person rewarded with fifty good deeds."

  The voice of the master of the six paths of reincarnation entered his ears, Meng Qi relaxed and checked the dishes before picking up his chopsticks to taste them leisurely.

  After eating a few mouthfuls, he found that Ruan Yushu was staring at him intently as he enjoyed his food, not moving his chopsticks, with a hint of fervor in his eyes, occasionally sweeping over the dishes on the table.

  "Let's eat, I'm treating you." Meng Qi said with a slight confusion and a smile.

  Ruan Yushu nodded slightly and picked up her chopsticks, picking up a piece of chicken.

  She moved elegantly and ate with a showy air, but her speed was terrifyingly abnormal. Meng Qi had only eaten seven or eight mouthfuls when she swept away half of the food like a whirlwind.

  "Ah, you..." Meng Qi stared at Ruan Yushu in shock and disbelief that a beautiful girl with a cold exterior and elegant demeanor would behave like this.

  Ruan Yushu's face turned slightly red as he raised his head and said, "You're treating me to a meal, I...I'm not usually very polite."
