The journey from Puyang to Seoul, the most prosperous district of Hancheng, was a simple one.
But this time, Folian and Qin Yexuan encountered four checks and passed through six security lines.
"Eighty percent of the resources and wealth of the Korean continent are concentrated in the Hancheng metropolitan area, no wonder they are so nervous."
The identity provided by Liu Yuantai was perfect, and they encountered almost no obstacles. But at the last entrance to the city highway, the guards politely stopped them.
"Mr. Song Taeqin, please pay your personal spiritual energy tax here."
Qin Yexuan looked at it and was speechless.
It turned out that everyone entering the Seoul district had to pay money because most of the Korean continent's resources were concentrated here, so there was a deposit or something.
"One hundred spiritual energy points, this is the minimum. If you obtain spiritual energy treasures in this district, you must pay a personal tax of 15% to 75% according to their value."
Folian rolled her eyes, now she knew how the high-ranking officials of the Korean continent lived.
They lived by sucking the blood of the low-level cultivators.
Truly the evil capitalism.
Now, all their wealth was taxed, and they couldn't even afford a taxi.
Walking across the Han River Bridge, Qin Yexuan's face was grim. He pointed to a concave white building in front of them and said, "There are electric scooters inside, go steal two!"
Folian blinked, seeing that he wasn't joking, she couldn't help but laugh heartily, "I'm not tired."
Qin Yexuan frowned, "I am very tired."
"You have to walk even if you're tired, I'm not stealing anything anyway."
This was intentional. Folian rarely saw Qin Yexuan in such a predicament, and she walked faster and faster.
They walked for more than half a day before finally arriving at their destination, Cheongryong-dong, Gangnam District, Seoul!
Ahead was the most famous commercial area here, and the landmark of Cheongryong-dong - Alice Commercial Center!
This was a commercial complex, including office buildings, hotels, shopping malls, and a super underground parking lot.
The Jinse Commercial Building in the center alone was a 61-story office building, and half of this building belonged to the Jinse Conglomerate.
"This is the headquarters of the Jinse Conglomerate that offered the bounty!"
"Is that chaebol miss inside?"
Folian glared menacingly.
Qin Yexuan's face was pale, and he looked listless. He was tired from walking. After all, he was not a cultivator, and he had no spiritual energy at all.
"Folian, don't make that face, we are here to seek refuge."
Entering the commercial center, Qin Yexuan went directly to the security department, which was the security center for the entire district, with more than sixty departments.
Qin Yexuan found a pen and paper, wrote the three Chinese characters Jin Gaoyue on it, and handed it to the vigilant security guard in front: "Please give this to Miss Jin Goxi of the Jinse Conglomerate."
The security guard in a neat suit glanced at them and made a gesture.
Soon, four security guards surrounded them without a sound. With good quality, they made a gesture of invitation: "This way!"
Qin Yexuan patted the unhappy Folian, and was surrounded by the four guards, who led them to the vast underground parking lot.
Suddenly, two black cloths with Taoist talismans attacked and covered their eyes.
The Taoist talisman on the black cloth covering Folian's eyes immediately ignited.
"This is a high-level cultivator, call for backup!"
Instantly, six high-level cultivators descended rapidly from a long slide outside the building, entering the parking lot and staring menacingly at Folian.
"We are sincerely here to meet our master, she will not resist!"
Qin Yexuan said word by word, "But if you go too far, I will fight back!"
The captain of the seventh team of the commercial center appeared. He looked at the note, then at Folian, and finally waved his hand gently: "Please ask this lady to rest temporarily on the seventeenth floor. Be respectful, she is a high-level cultivator!"
Folian tore off the black cloth and followed the people into the elevator without a word.
The moment the elevator door closed, two demonic energies appeared behind her like wings. The high-level cultivators guarding her crouched in pain in the elevator, unable to make any sound.
Having the same cultivation realm does not mean having the same combat power.
The "Demonic Wing Technique" was originally a secret skill of the demonic sects, and the four Korean cultivators had no power to resist. Folian sneered, directly sticking to the elevator, and flew upwards along the steel cable.
She wanted to enter the top floor of the building and wait for an opportunity.
As for Qin Yexuan, hum, she didn't care if he lived or died.
Underground, Qin Yexuan was tested again. The captain was a little shocked: "He actually has no spiritual energy cultivation at all?"
"Senior, what should we do? Should we give that note to Miss?"
The Jinse Conglomerate had nine security teams, each with about three hundred mid-level cultivators or above, and their captains were all expert-level cultivators!
They were the core force of the Jinse Conglomerate and a symbol of the conglomerate's internal strength.
The seventh team captain's eyes flickered, and he signaled to open the black cloth.
He looked at Qin Yexuan, straightened his suit, and checked his watch: "Hey, the note you wrote has our representative's name on it, what does that mean?"
Qin Yexuan said expressionlessly, "I will tell you when I see Jin Goxi."
"Heh, it's a pity you won't see the Miss!" The seventh team captain took out his phone and openly spoke to a president of the conglomerate.
"Someone wants to see Jin Goxi, and they even wrote Jin Gaoyue's name!"
The voice on the phone was magnetic: "Kill him, leave no trace. Jin Goxi will surrender soon. I intend to run for the next representative, and no news of Jin Gaoyue can appear!"
The seventh team captain hung up the phone and pursed his lips with a smile: "Hey, how do you want to die? Die quickly, kill yourself. You have no spiritual energy anyway, you're a complete failure."
Qin Yexuan stretched his neck and looked at them, including the captain, there were twelve people.
There was a loaded magazine in the pistol at his waist.
He shook his head, "Who is behind you, are you trying to harm Jin Goxi? I won't allow that."
The seventh team captain sneered and waved to his subordinates: "Take down this idiot!"
After speaking, he turned away elegantly, too lazy to look again.
More than a dozen mid-level cultivators, and a trash with no cultivation, the outcome was already decided.
Qin Yexuan drew his gun and began to attach the silencer.
The Korean cultivators around burst into loud laughter.
Qin Yexuan sighed, and a faint gun shot rang out. At close range, it directly hit the forehead, resulting in certain death.
After eleven gunshots, there was silence, followed by a whimper.
Qin Yexuan's gun barrel poked into the seventh team captain's mouth: "Who is behind you, write down the name!"
The captain trembled, his mind blank.
Why were his cultivation, his powerful techniques, all useless at this moment?
It was as if the spiritual energy revival was a dream, and he was still the failed veteran from six months ago...
He dipped his subordinates' blood and wrote down a name: "Jin Jihao!"
Qin Yexuan nodded, "How do you want to die?"
The seventh team captain's eyes widened: "Wuwuwu..."
The gunshot followed.
...
Two minutes later, a red alert with five skulls appeared in front of all the high-ranking officials of the Jinse Conglomerate.
"Captain Zhao Sung-hoon of the seventh team and all eleven mid-level cultivators were wiped out. There was only a civilian with no cultivation at the scene!"
