"Brother Tan is joking. Before the outcome is decided, everyone has a chance," the white-robed youth standing opposite said with a smile. He was tall and straight, neither fat nor thin, with three-dimensional features and a handsome appearance. Every move he made exuded the air of a noble young master.
This person is Ao Ziyi, one of the eight Golden Order constables.
The dark-faced youth opposite him was Tan Shaochong. The two were about the same age and joined the Soul Suppression Division at the same time, and were granted the Golden Token, so they had a very good relationship in private.
"Brother Ao, you jest. You've already reached the early stage of True Qi, while everyone else is only at the Core Formation stage. Who could be your match?" Tan Shaochong laughed. "However, there's one person we must be wary of: Lin Qing!"
Ao Ziyi nodded slightly: "This person does indeed have some skills. The fact that he was able to gain Wang Ling's approval shows that his martial arts talent is astonishing. A few days ago, Jinbaolou released the latest Black List and Red List, and Lin Qing has rapidly climbed to 71st on the Red List."
"Wow, tsk tsk, in all these years I've been in the prefectural city, I've never broken into the top 100 of the Crimson Ranking."
As Ao Ziyi spoke, a hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes.
Before Lin Qing arrived, he was one of the most talented Golden Token constables in the Soul Suppression Division, but after Lin Qing arrived, his reputation was subtly overshadowed, which made him quite unhappy.
Fame and fortune are linked; those who are famous are more likely to profit.
"Brother Ao, don't worry. I heard he only reached the Core Formation stage half a month ago. How capable can he be? He's far inferior to you. If it were a one-on-one duel in the arena, you could kill him with a single slap," Tan Shaochong said.
"That's true, but it's hard to say what level his strength will reach in three months," Ao Ziyi said.
"Three months is too short. Even if he is a peerless genius, so what? At most, he can only reach the mid-stage of the Core Formation realm," Tan Shaochong added.
"Yes, no matter what, I'm going to get promoted to a police officer this time. If Lin Qing dares to stop me, I'll definitely cripple him!" A fierce glint flashed in Ao Ziyi's eyes.
..
The Luo family mansion.
"Master, something terrible has happened! Lin Qing has made it onto the Jinbaolou Red List, suddenly appearing at number 71. This little bastard's martial arts talent is terrifying. If he continues to grow at this rate, he'll be a constable in no time. When will we ever get revenge for our son?" Madam Luo burst into the study and threw a piece of intelligence she had just bought from Jinbaolou onto the table.
Luo Wandeng was practicing calligraphy when he was suddenly interrupted. A flash of displeasure crossed his eyes, but he did not get angry when he heard Madam Luo's words. He picked up the silk scroll on the table and quickly flipped through it.
"Don't panic, someone will deal with him. The people of Yin Yuan Sect hate Wang Ling to the bone. He is the person Wang Ling chose. Deng Qianyu and the others want to kill him even more than you and I do!"
"Yesterday, the Yin Yuan Sect sent word that the reward for assassinating Lin Qing has been doubled. With such a generous reward, there will surely be brave souls. All we need to do is send someone to keep an eye on Lin Qing and provide timely intelligence. Someone will eventually take action and kill him!" Luo Wandeng said unhurriedly.
"Then I'm relieved. By the way, Master, our Luo family has been secretly collecting infants for the Yin Yuan Sect. What if we're targeted by the Soul Suppressing Division?"
"So what if the Luo family has fallen? As long as I live, it's only a matter of time before I rise again. People are too foolish to call the method of worshipping evil, not knowing that it is the true method. By worshipping evil spirits and absorbing human blood to enhance martial power, one can not only break through bottlenecks and extend lifespan, but also increase growth speed several times over. Even if there are risks, it is worth the risk!" Luo Wandeng said in a deep voice. "Moreover, once the spirit-summoning ritual is successfully set up, everyone in the Soul Suppression Division will die. Joining the Yin Yuan Sect is the right path."
"I will follow your arrangements, sir!" Madam Luo said no more.
The next day.
The sky is bright.
Two fast horses left Shichuan Prefecture and sped along the official road toward the Blood Valley Forbidden Land.
Wang Ling was running ahead, while Lin Qing was one step behind.
After further improving his strength, Lin Qing decided to try going to Blood Valley to see how far he could go. If he could find the corpse of that powerful martial artist, he might be able to seize the Heavenly Harmony Technique in one fell swoop.
Such a divine skill is naturally best obtained as soon as possible.
The two continued on their way, dismounting twenty miles from the entrance to Blood Valley, and then used their lightness skills to quickly enter the valley.
The valley was still shrouded in white mist, and dark clouds still rolled overhead. Whispers could be heard from time to time, and the cries of women could be heard from time to time.
"My lord, what level must one reach to be able to walk freely in Blood Valley?" Lin Qing asked.
"Stepping into the True Qi realm presents an opportunity, or perhaps one's soul can reach the Sun Travel Realm," Wang Ling said.
"It's not too difficult," Lin Qing thought to himself.
"Being able to step into the depths of Blood Valley is only the first hurdle to overcome. The biggest problem in developing the Unity Force is talent," Wang Ling said.
Lin Qing nodded slightly and strode into the depths of the Blood Valley. Wang Ling followed behind. Blood corpses would occasionally burst out from the side, but he didn't intervene, leaving it all to Lin Qing to handle.
Lin Qing didn't hold back either, raising his hand and punching each one to obliterate them, swallowing their blood essence as nourishment for his body.
However, the improvement brought by swallowing blood essence was too small, and he would also suffer from the impact of yin energy. Lin Qing was unwilling, but with Wang Ling watching from the side, he had to act.
Each time he swallowed a piece of blood essence, a new piece of information would appear in his mind, which was part of the content about the He Yi Tian Gong (Heavenly Harmony Technique).
However, this information was still incomplete, chaotic, and extremely profound, and even with his current superior martial arts talent, he could not understand it at all.
"It's basically impossible to understand the 'Heavenly Merit' through conventional means. No wonder no one has succeeded in all these years. The only way I can do it is through the Record of Rebirth," Lin Qing thought to himself.
As he pondered, he walked forward, and before he knew it, he had already walked five hundred steps. Looking back, he could no longer see the entrance to the valley.
As he took another step forward, the pain throughout his body intensified suddenly, and he began to experience numerous hallucinations.
After a moment's thought, Lin Qing decided not to go any further. He knew that his body had reached its limit.
"Five hundred steps, not bad, this distance is farther than I expected." A hint of joy flashed in Wang Ling's eyes.
The deeper he goes, the higher the quality of the blood essence Lin Qing can consume, and the more complete the He Yi Tian Gong he can access.
"Five hundred steps is the limit. Let's go back first. I think it won't be long before I can walk freely in Blood Valley," Lin Qing said in a deep voice.
Wang Ling did not insist. The two turned and left the valley, quickly returning to the town of Zhenhunsi.
Three days have passed in the blink of an eye.
In the courtyard of the Soul Suppression Division, Lin Qing and four friends sat under a ginkgo tree, eating and drinking.
The four people were Lin Shurou, Wei Dong, Li Ping, and Ma Ziye. "I rarely have time today, so we must get together properly. Come on, bottoms up!" Li Ping raised his wine glass and said with a smile.
"drink!"
The five men drank, and all of them finished their drinks in one gulp.
.
"Lin Qing, I heard yesterday that Tan Shaochong, one of the Eight Great Golden Orders, was assassinated by people from the Yin Yuan Sect. You must be careful. After the battle at Wanghai Tower, the Yin Yuan Sect suffered a loss in silence. An informant reported that Deng Qianyu has increased the bounty for the Eight Great Golden Orders' constables, and your bounty is the highest among them," Li Ping said abruptly.
"My highest?" Lin Qing raised an eyebrow.
"That's right, you're currently ranked 71st on the Red List, and you have a close relationship with Lord Wang. Deng Qianyu wants to kill you the most!" Li Ping said.
"Then I won't go out. I'll stay at the base and see who can touch me." Lin Qing smiled.
"That's only right. With your talent, you should prioritize your life. As long as you don't die, you will definitely become one of the top experts in the city in the future." Li Ping nodded.
"Is Tan Shaochong dead yet?" Wei Dong asked, sucking on the oil on his finger.
