Qin Hao slowly walked towards the void.
At this moment, he was also shocked.
As a fellow foundation-building cultivator, Kong Kong seemed like a weak woman with no resistance and had no ability to fight back.
Just as Qin Hao was about to grab Kongxu and ask him to hand over the inheritance, Kongxu suddenly bit his finger and golden light emanated from his whole body.
Qin Hao was dazzled by the light, and Kongxu disappeared from the spot, leaving only a pool of blood on the ground.
"Escape technique..."
It was obvious that Kongxu had mastered a spell of escape.
At the moment of life and death, he paid a heavy price to escape from Qin Hao.
"The monk can run away, but the temple cannot!" Qin Hao snorted coldly.
Since Kongxu is the helper Zhou Kun hired at a high price, Zhou Kun must know Kongxu's location. Then Qin Hao will have plenty of time to hunt down Kongxu.
Otherwise, Qin Hao would not feel at ease if he let a cultivator enemy escape.
And just at this moment, Xia Qingyan called.
Qin Hao quickly answered the call.
"Qingyan, are you okay?"
Xia Qingyan, who had already dealt with Zhou Kun and the others, said, "I'm fine. Are you in danger too?"
Qin Hao briefly explained what happened just now, and then asked: "Are you home now? I'll come right over."
"I'm at home. Zhou Kun and the others are under my control. Come here quickly." Xia Qingyan said.
Qin Hao hummed.
After hanging up the phone, he returned to Xia Qingyan's home.
Rushing into Xia Qingyan's house, Qin Hao saw Xia Qingyan sitting safely on the sofa.
Zhou Kun and his men were kneeling on the ground, each with bruises on their faces.
Obviously, he was severely punished by Xia Qingyan.
Qin Hao closed the door, walked straight to Zhou Kun and slapped him hard.
At this point, Zhou Kun only had a few front teeth left.
Qin Hao said coldly: "Zhou Kun, you have challenged my bottom line again and again, and now you have implicated Qing Yan. You are so bold!"
The first words Zhou Kun said after being beaten were not to beg for mercy, but to ask about emptiness.
"Qin Hao, why are you here? Where is Master Kongxu?"
Qin Hao stared at Zhou Kun and said, "That fake monk? I beat him so hard that he ran away."
"Zhou Kun, you die!"
Zhou Kun’s eyes widened.
Now, he didn't have time to be shocked that the Void was actually beaten away.
He is going to die!
Zhou Kun immediately kowtowed and admitted his mistake, shouting hoarsely: "Dr. Qin, I was wrong, I was really wrong! Please don't kill me! I will work like a slave for you, you are my boss!"
Qin Hao said coldly: "I don't dare to have a subordinate like you!"
As he spoke, Qin Hao raised his hand again, ready to slap Zhou Kun.
Zhou Kun shouted, "Boss, you can't kill me. There are some high-profile people watching me from behind. If I'm gone, they'll find you soon!"
Qin Hao paused.
Behind Zhou Kun, there are indeed those obvious figures involved.
If they pay attention to themselves, it will indeed cause a lot of trouble to their relatives and friends around them.
Seeing Qin Hao hesitate, Zhou Kun was overjoyed and continued, "Boss, if you spare my life, from now on, you will have the final say in the underground world of Tianhai City. I, Zhou Kun, will be your dog from now on!"
“Woof woof woof! I’ll bite whoever you tell me to bite!”
Qin Hao thought about it for a moment.
He used his spiritual power to activate a slavery rune and injected it into Zhou Kun's body.
Seeing that Zhou Kun couldn't feel any changes on his body, Qin Hao said calmly: "Don't touch it, this is the slavery rune. As long as I think about it, you will explode and die!"
Zhou Kun was shocked.
Qin Hao continued, "Since you want to be my dog, then be my dog well. As long as you have no second thoughts, I will not activate the rune."
Zhou Kun's expression was uncertain.
Then he gritted his teeth, knelt down in front of Qin Hao and kowtowed, shouting: "Thank you for not killing me, Master. Zhou Kun will swear to be loyal to you until death!"
Zhou Kun's subordinates also knelt aside. Seeing their boss behaving like this, they didn't know what to do for a moment.
"In that case, you can come along too."
Qin Hao spoke calmly.
Afterwards, a slavery rune was implanted into each of Zhou Kun's capable men.
Zhou Kun's men opened their mouths slightly, unable to express their grievances.
They could only kowtow and shout like their boss, "Meet the master, I am willing to swear allegiance to you until death!"
Qin Hao continued, "Zhou Kun, kowtow three times to Xia Qingyan."
There was some struggle on Zhou Kun's face.
Then, he felt as if he were electrocuted, and he howled and fell to the ground.
This is the effect of the enslavement rune.
Slaves cannot go against the wishes of their masters, and if they do, they will be punished.
Zhou Kun no longer hesitated and kowtowed to Xia Qingyan to apologize.
"I'm sorry, Madam. I was wrong. Please forgive me!"
Xia Qingyan said coldly: "If you do it again, I will kill you directly."
"No, no, no, even if you give me a hundred times the courage, I won't dare to do it again!"
Zhou Kun was so scared that he kowtowed three times.
Qin Hao said, "Go back! Be honest during this period, and don't let me find you doing anything to harm others. Also, tell me Kongxu's address."
Zhou Kun and others stood up, and after repeatedly assuring that they would not do anything illegal or evil again, they also informed Qin Hao of the information about Kongxu.
Then he left respectfully.
Qin Hao walked towards Xia Qingyan and stood in front of her with a complicated look in his eyes.
Xia Qingyan smiled.
"What's wrong? You look so upset... Ah, what are you doing?!"
The reason for the exclamation was that Qin Hao suddenly hugged Xia Qingyan.
Xia Qingyan subconsciously wanted to push Qin Hao away, but she heard Qin Hao gently say, "Don't move, let me hold you for a while."
"Um."
Xia Qingyan pursed her lips and nodded.
She tried to regulate her breathing, but her pounding heartbeat became more and more uncontrollable.
She also wanted to reach out and hug Qin Hao, but she didn't dare, so she could only let her hands hang down blankly.
Qin Hao sighed.
"Qingyan, if you get hurt because of me again this time, I really don't know how to face you."
A hint of tenderness flashed in Xia Qingyan's eyes. She shook her head and snuggled in Qin Hao's arms.
"No, I'm very happy to have experienced so much with you. Moreover, I became connected with Xiuxian because of you. These things are things I never imagined before."
"You, really think so? You won't regret it?" Qin Hao looked at Xia Qingyan in surprise.
Xia Qingyan looked up at Qin Hao and asked, "Why would I regret it?"
"If, if there is anything I regret, it is breaking off contact with you after so many years..."
Xia Qingyan's face flushed and her eyes were full of emotion.
She expressed her feelings bravely, like a warrior in armor, rushing onto the battlefield without hesitation and marching straight into the battle.
Qin Hao opened his mouth slightly, somewhat surprised.
"Qingyan, you, what are you doing?"
Xia Qingyan raised her eyebrows.
"Why, can't girls confess their feelings?"
Qin Hao pursed his lips and said bitterly: "I just didn't expect that you would like me, a divorced man."
"You are not a second-married man!"
Xia Qingyan was somewhat dissatisfied.
