Chapter 95

He gained more than twenty potential points, which was quite a bit more than the Stone Lion King Statue before.

Thinking about it, it was normal. Linshui Town was much larger than the villages near the Stone Lion River, the population was much larger, and even the Hongshui River itself was wider than the Stone Lion River.

Withdrawing his hand, Qin Jiang took out a hundred-tael silver note from his bosom and put it into the donation box. He picked up a stick of incense and flicked it casually; the tip of the incense ignited from the friction with the air.

After offering the incense, he left directly. There were still many places to go today.

That night, Cloud Crane Courtyard.

Qin Jiang lay on his back in the courtyard, comfortably feeling the warm evening breeze.

A moment later, he opened his eyes, and his gaze fell on the panel.

【Potential points: 1156.8】

During the day, he walked through all the surrounding villages and small towns, and finally gathered the potential points needed for the leap-forward deduction of the Black Fiend Demon Statue Art.

"Potential, deduce, Black Fiend Demon Statue Art."

【Deducing... Deduction complete.】

【Black Fiend Demon Statue Art (Consummation) advanced to Black Evil Burning Heaven Demon Canon (First Layer) (1/4000) 【96%】】

【Black Evil Burning Heaven Demon Canon (First Layer) (1/4000) 【96%】】

【Potential points: 56.8】

Whoosh—! Surging black flames instantly rose up, turning into an illusory black-fire humanoid.

Almost instantly, Qin Jiang's figure swelled, turning into a six-zhang giant.

The Black Gold Auspicious Cloud Robe on his body could no longer bear it, and with a "bang," it turned into fragments filling the sky.

The next moment, the black-fire humanoid turned into a whirlwind and wrapped around Qin Jiang, dissipating in the blink of an eye.

At this time, Qin Jiang was already draped in a black brocade robe, the surface slightly reflecting the moonlight, having a texture like flowing black flames.

Whoosh~ He exhaled slightly, his figure gradually returning to the size of a normal person, and the clothes on his body also changed and shrank accordingly.

This was the clothing he condensed using the Black Fiend Demon Fire; whether it was defense or the degree of stretching, it could be controlled by himself.

After adapting slightly for a while, his gaze fell behind the Black Evil Burning Heaven Demon Canon, and his eyes brightened slightly.

Just the first layer alone required 4000 experience points, far exceeding the Green Fire Copper Furnace Art, almost reaching the degree of doubling! Sensing himself, the limit that the original Green Fire Copper Furnace Art had touched had been broken, and there was a feeling of comfort like a fish leaping into the sky.

"Potential, add points, Black Evil Burning Heaven Demon Canon!"

【Black Evil Burning Heaven Demon Canon (First Layer) (1/4000), experience points +4000】

【Black Evil Burning Heaven Demon Canon (Second Layer) (1/4500)】

【Potential points: 16.8】

After the black flames rose for a moment, they slowly dissipated, but the residual heat still scorched the air, and the airflow surged, blowing away the heat.

Looking at the potential points that were less than twenty, he couldn't help but sigh; they really weren't enough to use.

The potential points that were obtained after searching so many places were used up in less than half an hour.

The next day, Qin Jiang pushed open the door and breathed in the fresh morning air. Before he could stretch, a series of hurried footsteps sounded outside the courtyard.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The knocking on the door sounded. Qin Jiang waved his hand, and the courtyard gate opened. Long Yuesheng walked in quickly.

"Brother Long, what's the matter that's so urgent?" he asked with a smile.

Long Yuesheng's expression stiffened when he heard the words "Brother Long," and then he gritted his teeth and said, "Fourth Uncle, there is news about the Golden Jade Pavilion."

Swish! Qin Jiang instantly appeared in front of Long Yuesheng. "Where!"

Long Yuesheng's pupils shrank. Just a moment ago, he hadn't even seen Qin Jiang's movements clearly.

A sense of frustration welled up in his heart. "In Linshui Town, I found that there is a large-scale influx and outflow of outsiders there. If my guess is correct, they should all be captured from various cities, towns, and villages in the county!

However, I don't know where these people were finally sent; I didn't find any traces of people leaving. If they weren't killed directly, then there should be a secret place where they are imprisoned, or they were transferred out through a tunnel."

"Do you know the location of those people?" Qin Jiang asked.

"There is a brothel called Susha Workshop. If my guess is correct, that should be it," Long Yuesheng said.

Upon hearing this, Qin Jiang's eyes sharpened. A brothel? Another brothel.

Could it be that An Lan also had some connection to this matter?

His elder sister disappeared in a brothel, and that black round bead whose origin is still unknown was also discovered in a brothel.

And now, it actually got involved with human trafficking.

Plus, An Lan once said that she was originally a person from Ning'an City; maybe she really had some connection to it.

"Let's go! To Linshui Town!"

Tap, tap, tap! Tap, tap, tap! The sound of hurried horse hooves shook the street. A column of five hundred black-armored martial artists charged into Linshui Town in a mighty force, heading straight for Susha Workshop.

These people were the elite of the Long family. Each one was a martial artist who had mastered True Martial Arts, and nearly half of them were second-rate experts.

Ten riders to one clerk, one hundred riders to one general. Each clerk's leader was an expert in the Divine Intent realm, and the general was a Grandmaster-level figure at the peak of Divine Intent!

"Fourth Master! Should we kill our way in directly?" A burly man draped in dragon-patterned black armor asked from Qin Jiang's side.

He was the commander of these five hundred Black Armored Army, named Long An, and was also the branch head of a branch of the Long family. His strength had already reached the fourth-rank Secret Martial Artist level.

He was the existence second only to Long Ye among the ordinary Secret Martial Artists of the Long family!

After receiving the order this time, he was actually a bit unhappy.

Although Qin Jiang had apprenticed to the old family head, he was an outsider after all. How could he be given such great power? But this was Long Daosheng's intention after all, and he couldn't disobey it, so he could only bring people here.

However, being able to wipe out the Golden Jade Pavilion people still relieved his unhappiness somewhat.

This Golden Jade Pavilion took a grand-sounding name, but when they did things, they were like mice in a sewer, hiding in the dark all day long, and there was no chance to catch them at all!

"No need, you take people and make blocking measures, just don't let anyone run away," Qin Jiang said.

Upon hearing this, Long An's face showed a trace of displeasure. "Fine, I'll guard outside. If there are any accidents, I'll crush the rescue order, and I'll come to support immediately!"

"Fine, I know," Qin Jiang said.

Not long after, they arrived at Susha Workshop, which was a three-story small building with pink gauze curtains hanging on the doors and windows.

"Surround it! Not a single one is allowed to leave!" Long An shouted loudly, and the Black Armored Army quickly surrounded Susha Workshop.

In just a few breaths, they completely surrounded the entire Susha Workshop. Until this moment, the guests inside Susha Workshop reacted sluggishly.

"What's going on?! Who are the people outside!"

"What are you doing?! Is it the County Lieutenant's Qianyu Army? Do you know who I am!"

"No! That mark is the Long family's Black Armored Army! That human butcher Long An is here!"

Qin Jiang listened to the discussion in the small building and couldn't help but look at Long An. "Commander Long actually has the title of human butcher, which is truly unexpected."

Long An's expression was solemn. Looking at Qin Jiang's frivolous smile, he couldn't help but feel a bit displeased.

Compared to Young Master Qi Han, this so-called Fourth Master was far too inferior! "Just a frog in a well looking at the sky, just a group of small fry who were scared by being killed, it can't be taken seriously."

Qin Jiang nodded and dismounted. "Wait for me to come out."

Having said that, he walked directly into Susha Workshop.

After Qin Jiang walked into Susha Workshop, Long An raised his hand slightly. The Black Armored Army received the order, and fifty clerk leaders each assembled a long staff that was thick at the top and sharp at the bottom from the weapon bags they brought.

Swish! The long staff was forcefully inserted into the soil under their feet by the clerk leader. This was a special weapon they had researched in the process of dealing with the Golden Jade Pavilion.

The purpose was to prevent the Golden Jade Pavilion people from escaping through the tunnel!
