Conditions

"Hahaha, you think you're tough? You want to use my head as a chamber pot? Go take a look in the mirror and see what kind of trash you are!"

Zhang Yunhao didn't dare to be careless. He rushed forward and confirmed multiple times that the Poisonous Snake Young Master was dead before bursting into laughter. If it hadn't been for a flash of inspiration and a breakthrough in the Yin Blood Hand Seal at the critical moment, he might have been in real trouble.

With the Poisonous Snake Young Master dead, the Benevolent True Qi in Zhang Yunhao's dantian expanded at an unprecedented speed, growing several times stronger and almost completely suppressing the Malevolent True Qi.

The Poisonous Snake Young Master had committed countless evils and practiced demonic arts. By killing him, Zhang Yunhao had performed a great act of benevolence!

With so much Benevolent True Qi, Zhang Yunhao was certain he could break through to the Lesser Heavenly Cycle, which made him extremely happy. It was only the second day, and the mission was completed ahead of schedule!

"That kid actually killed the Poisonous Snake Young Master? I really underestimated him!"

Even though Nangong Ru had harbored some hope before, seeing the Poisonous Snake Young Master dead now still felt incredible!

A mere kid in the True Qi Realm had actually killed the Divine Sea Realm's Poisonous Snake Young Master? And the Poisonous Snake Young Master wasn't some nobody; he was a disciple of the Old Man Heavenly Snake!

Nangong Ru gazed at Zhang Yunhao, thinking to herself, "No matter what, I owe this kid my life, and I must repay it. Speaking of which, this kid meets my third uncle's requirements, but I still need to investigate thoroughly!"

After laughing heartily, Zhang Yunhao gasped for air. He was utterly exhausted, not to mention burning a portion of his blood with the Blood Burning Secret Technique. He was almost at his limit.

The Blood Burning Secret Technique had significant side effects, but thankfully, Zhang Yunhao had the Blood Origin Pearl, which was now transforming into blood energy to replenish him. Although he was tired and weak, he hadn't completely lost his strength and could still stand.

At this moment, Nangong Ru's weak voice came from behind, "Well done. It seems I don't have to die. Go search the Poisonous Snake Young Master's clothes for the antidote."

"Antidote? I say, you're quite demanding. Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

Zhang Yunhao turned his head to look at Nangong Ru on the ground, his expression fierce. "You were planning to kill me earlier, and no one would know if I killed you now!"

At this moment, Zhang Yunhao's veins were bulging, and his face was somewhat contorted from forcefully using the Blood Burning Secret Technique. He looked quite terrifying, but Nangong Ru remained calm. "You won't kill me."

Zhang Yunhao rolled his eyes. "Why? Don't tell me I'm a good person or something, I'll really turn hostile."

"If you wanted to kill me, you wouldn't have told me to commit suicide later!"

Nangong Ru said matter-of-factly. Zhang Yunhao was speechless. As expected of a constable, her perception was indeed sharp. He couldn't even scare her.

"Speaking of which, my Benevolent True Qi is getting stronger and stronger, while my Malevolent True Qi isn't progressing much. If this continues, will I really become a Righteous Martial Immortal?"

Zhang Yunhao chuckled self-deprecatingly and shook his head. He squatted down and rummaged through the Poisonous Snake Young Master's clothes, quickly finding several medicine bottles, a stack of silver notes, and a jade pendant that felt very cold.

"Didn't the Poisonous Snake Young Master mention the Li Family's treasure earlier?"

Zhang Yunhao's eyes flickered. He secretly used the system to appraise the jade pendant.

The system quickly replied, "This is a jade pendant carved from a peculiar type of jade. Wearing it can calm the mind and spirit, and it defends against mental attacks below the Innate Realm. Furthermore, there is a mysterious energy within this jade pendant."

"So detailed. Setting aside other aspects, the inherent function of the jade pendant alone is priceless. I won't have to fear mental oppression in the future. However, the Poisonous Snake Young Master probably snatched this treasure because of the mysterious energy. There are many secrets within it."

Zhang Yunhao was astonished. After thinking for a moment, in a place Nangong Ru couldn't see, he silently tucked the jade pendant into his sleeve.

Next, Zhang Yunhao began to examine the medicine bottles and soon discovered that one of them contained the antidote for the Weakness Poison. The Poisonous Snake Young Master often used poison, so to prevent accidentally harming his own people, he naturally had to prepare an antidote.

Zhang Yunhao put away the other poisons and silver notes into his chest, then walked over with the medicine bottle and said to Nangong Ru, "I'll save you, but I have two conditions. I hope you can agree."

Nangong Ru said crisply, "Tell me."

Zhang Yunhao said, "First, I don't want anyone to know about this matter. I fear trouble."

"Alright, I will only report to Constable Thunderous Wrath, who will never leak this. I will come up with a different explanation for the public, and I will bear the hatred of the Old Man Heavenly Snake."

Nangong Ru readily agreed. Zhang Yunhao nodded, then continued, "Also, I hope you can help me capture a few heinous criminals so I can kill them myself, and it must be within five days."

Nangong Ru couldn't help but look at Zhang Yunhao with killing intent and asked, "Why must it be like this? And why do you have to kill them yourself?"

Zhang Yunhao said with a serious expression, "What if I told you I have a disease where I'll die if I don't kill bad guys? Would you believe me?"

Nangong Ru sneered, "What do you think? If I'm not mistaken, you must have had a fortuitous encounter and obtained a martial art that increases your power or combat strength when you kill evil people, right?"

"How did you know?"

Zhang Yunhao was shocked and asked incredulously. Was this the legendary detective or master detective?

At the same time, a killing intent arose in Zhang Yunhao's heart. He wouldn't kill innocent people indiscriminately, but if they got in his way, he would show no mercy!

"Even if I didn't know before, I know now from your reaction. You still need more training."

Nangong Ru glanced at Zhang Yunhao and continued, "You don't need to worry. The Mysteries of Martial Arts are profound. While such martial arts are rare, they do exist. Our Nangong Family's Evil Slaying Saber Technique is one of them. The more evil people you kill, the stronger and sharper the saber technique becomes."

She paused and said proudly, "That is a Heaven-grade Saber Technique passed down by a Righteous Martial Immortal."

"Righteous Martial Immortal?"

Hearing the name, Zhang Yunhao's gaze became a little strange. He was a disciple of a Martial Immortal, and the Nangong Family was the successor of a Righteous Martial Immortal. Wouldn't that make him an elder or ancestor of the Nangong Family?

"Furthermore, the Martial Immortal Great Emperor becomes stronger the more territory he occupies. It's a similar kind of miraculous martial art."

Nangong Ru was clearly unaware of Zhang Yunhao's thoughts. She continued, "The Demonic Sect also has the Turtle Ascendant who cultivates the Humiliation Endurance Art. The more humiliation he endures, the stronger he becomes. It's said he married ninety-nine wives and then sold them all to brothels."

"There are martial arts like that? Is he planning to wholesale cuckoldry?"

Zhang Yunhao was dumbfounded. He knew that although Nangong Ru had figured out a part of it, she could never know that he was cultivating an immortal-grade martial art. Therefore, his killing intent gradually subsided.

Then, Zhang Yunhao said, "Anyway, that's how it is. Your Demon Extermination Alliance only exterminates demons, but it shouldn't be difficult to find a few villains, right?"

"Alright, I will search the city's death row for villains for you."

Nangong Ru readily agreed. Zhang Yunhao was overjoyed. This way, he could improve himself once again.
