Chapter 74: Silent Slaughter (Please follow!)

North City, Baiyun Medical Hall... old site. Qin Jiang looked at the ruins in front of him, with two charred corpses placed on the ground before him.

They had already been carbonized by the fire, becoming incomplete.

Blood-red fiendish energy flowed out uncontrollably, spreading across the street and the ruins, making everyone present hold their breath slightly.

"Boss, it has been investigated. The only one who had a conflict with Physician Baiyun was a fox demon that entered the city a few days ago."

Qin Jiang remained silent upon hearing this, the irritable fire in his eyes gradually subsiding, replaced by an icy killing intent that caused the temperature around them to drop by several degrees.

North City Cemetery, the sky was dim, a newly erected tombstone, with a white porcelain plate the size of a washbasin placed in front of it.

Qin Jiang leaned down gently and placed a blue hyacinth he had just picked onto the porcelain plate.

Then, without saying a word, he turned around silently. The Red Tiger Gang members stood on both sides of the road, waiting for orders.

*Step, step, step! * Hurried footsteps came. Long Yuesheng walked forward quickly, rushing directly to Qin Jiang with an anxious face.

"Brother Qin! That fox demon cannot be killed yet!"

Qin Jiang's expression was calm as he raised his hand and pressed it on Long Yuesheng's shoulder.

Instantly, Long Yuesheng felt his whole body go numb, losing all his strength.

*This... how is this possible?! * Qin Jiang didn't speak and left silently.

A moment later, Long Yuesheng's body gradually regained sensation, and he hurriedly looked in the direction Qin Jiang had left.

But there wasn't a single person on the road now. White streamers danced, and paper money fell all over the ground, being blown up and down by the breeze, appearing exceptionally cold and desolate.

Recalling just now, his eyes were filled with disbelief. *Grandmaster... is really this strong? * Looking at the cold road, he felt that something major was wrong. That fox demon's charm technique had played a major role in these past few days!

Otherwise, Heishan City might have already been broken! But he was now powerless to stop it.

A sense of panic and fear surged in his heart. If the city was broken and reinforcements hadn't arrived, then when night fell and Qin Jiang arrived at the fox demon's residence, the residence was already engulfed in flames.

Walking to the courtyard gate, Sun Qianzhao and several Hall Masters in the courtyard were surrounding and killing a fox demon in the center, with a dozen demon corpses already lying around.

And at this moment, the fox demon had also reached the point of exhaustion.

Just one Divine Intent realm expert was enough to contend with it, let alone five acting together.

In just a moment, Sun Qianzhao seized the opportunity, stepped forward, and smashed down with a punch, directly breaking the fox demon's neck.

The fox demon fell to the ground, its head hanging powerlessly, but its strong vitality still kept it from dying immediately, lying on the ground at its last gasp.

"You... you cannot kill me... I can help you..."

*Swish! * Kong Hai went up and chopped off the fox demon's head, "We don't need you!"

The fox demon's head was held in Kong Hai's hand, its eyes wide, filled with disbelief, "I am from Qingqiu..."

Before it could finish a sentence, it had already lost its breath, its eyes staring in death.

The few looked at each other, walked quickly to the courtyard gate, and knelt on one knee directly.

Kong Hai held the fox demon's head high, "Greetings, Head of Hall!"

Qin Jiang nodded lightly, picked up the fox demon's head, and turned to leave.

The crowd followed behind until they reached the cemetery.

Qin Jiang walked to the tombstone, placed the fox demon's head on the porcelain plate, and the blood stained the blue hyacinth red.

After paying respects, Qin Jiang waved his hand, and the Red Tiger Gang members left gently, leaving only Qin Jiang himself.

After everyone left, he sat casually beside the tombstone, picked up a jar of strong wine used for worship, and poured it directly down his throat.

Actually, he wasn't very sad; he just felt at a loss.

It was like after graduating and working for a few years, suddenly remembering a friend from school he hadn't contacted for a long time, and when he picked up his phone to contact them, he realized he didn't have their contact information anymore.

A sense of inexplicable... melancholy?

*Heh, * he laughed at himself, stood up with the wine jar, and left. When he came back to his senses, he was startled.

He didn't know when, but he had arrived at Wang Minglang's courtyard.

However, he had already arranged for someone to pick up Uncle Wang, and the courtyard was now pitch black.

Shaking his head, he turned to leave.

"*Creak~*"

Suddenly, the sound of a wooden door opening came from behind. He turned his head and saw Wang Minglang in the courtyard. "Uncle Wang, you didn't leave?"

He didn't control his internal energy to dissipate the smell of alcohol, and combined with the strength of the strong wine, his speech sounded somewhat slurred.

Wang Minglang smiled, "The Inner City is good, but after so many years, I've gotten used to this place, so I just came back. Alright, don't stand outside, come in and sit."

The two entered the room. Wang Minglang lit an oil lamp, took out a big tobacco pipe, and lit it. After taking a deep puff, the room was filled with smoke.

"Your heart is in chaos," he said softly.

Qin Jiang smiled upon hearing this and put the wine jar on the table, "Is it that obvious?"

Wang Minglang shook his head, "I don't know what you are worried about, or what you are afraid of. You clearly don't fear this weirdness siege."

Qin Jiang raised his head, leaning against the top of the chair back, with a hint of drunkenness, "Yes, I am afraid. I am afraid of losing; I don't want to have nothing again."

After speaking, he sat up straight and looked at Wang Minglang, "Uncle Wang, you say, if one has a fearless heart, will one still feel fear?"

Wang Minglang was startled upon hearing this, took a slow puff of his tobacco pipe, and nodded slightly, "Fear is a human instinct. No one can control the thought of fear; this is very normal.

Your sister once told me that fearlessness is not about not being afraid, but about being able to face the fear in your heart.

Face it, defeat it, and believe that you can overcome everything."

*'Believe that I can overcome everything, huh...'*

Qin Jiang remained silent and left silently.

South City, Outer City wall.

Qin Jiang sat on the edge of the wall, thinking about what Uncle Wang said—believing that he could overcome everything.

Looking at the surging weird mist ahead, it appeared slightly yellow under the illumination of the firelight, looking surprisingly peaceful.

An inexplicable feeling arose in his heart, and he had some realization.

*'That's right, I care too much about the potential panel.'*

*'I have placed too many expectations on the potential panel, but instead forgot that I should have been self-reliant.'*

*'The potential panel only speeds up my progress, but whether I can reach the other shore still depends on myself.'*

*Step, step, step. *

Long Yuesheng walked over, looking at Qin Jiang who was silent.

Qin Jiang didn't turn his head to look at him, "The old physician is dead. Right or wrong, I have no heart to say more."

Long Yuesheng nodded, "I didn't mean anything else, I just investigated, and that fox demon didn't go out tonight."

Qin Jiang nodded without speaking.

Long Yuesheng took a deep breath, "That fox demon's background is not simple; it's from the Qingqiu Fox Clan. Although Qingqiu is no longer within the Great Xia territory, it's just an ordinary clansman, but there might still be trouble, so you must be careful.

I can help investigate the Golden Jade Pavilion, but as for Qingqiu, I don't have that strength."

Qin Jiang smiled upon hearing this, "I know, Brother Long."

Long Yuesheng raised his hand upon hearing this, but stopped halfway and slowly put it down, "Join the Copper Bell Sect. No one can help you as much as having strength yourself."

"Then I will have to trouble Brother Long to introduce me when the time comes. The Red Tiger Gang's quota has already been used up," Qin Jiang said.

"Naturally. With your aptitude, joining the Copper Bell Sect is more than enough. Maybe it won't be long before you are promoted to a True Disciple.

By then, you'll be far away, and it won't be so easy for Qingqiu to deal with a Secret Martial Artist within the Great Xia territory," Long Yuesheng said.

He didn't doubt Qin Jiang's aptitude at all. With the monstrous talent Qin Jiang had shown now, he was afraid that in less than a year, he would become a real Secret Martial Artist.

In the future, he might even have the opportunity to compete for the position of Copper Bell Sect Master!

By then, ruling a county, calling oneself a local emperor wouldn't be an exaggeration!

Qin Jiang smiled upon hearing this, "Then thank you, Brother Long, for your auspicious words."

After Long Yuesheng left, Qin Jiang summoned Zhang Lin. After Qin Jiang was promoted to Head of Hall, the position of Fourth Hall Master was handed over to him.

"Boss, you called me?" Zhang Lin asked.

"Go get the martial arts in the gang, and by the way, look for the various families in the city and copy a set of their Advanced True Martial Arts," Qin Jiang said.

Since potential points could no longer be found, let him see where the limit of True Martial Artists was.

He didn't believe that with dozens of True Martial Arts on his body, he really couldn't compare to one Secret Martial Art? (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 75 =====
