Luoshui County.
Several patrolling constables gripped the longsabers in their hands, their steps light as they cautiously headed toward the source of the commotion.
When they saw Jiang Ning standing in the snow, the hearts lodged in their throats finally dropped heavily back down.
"Commander Jiang!"
Someone immediately called out.
One of them froze slightly when he saw Jiang Ning, his expression becoming incomparably complicated.
He still remembered the last time he had seen Jiang Ning, when he had followed Constable Feng to pay a visit.
Back then, Jiang Ning had only begun to make a name for himself in Luoshui County. He could not be considered an important figure.
Yet after only a few months, everything was completely different.
Jiang Ning had become a renowned great figure in Luoshui County.
Who in the entire county yamen did not know the name Jiang Ning?
A mere commoner had grown into one of Luoshui County's foremost figures in just a few short months. No one could have imagined it before.
At the same time.
Jiang Ning calmly swept his gaze over them.
"I'll have to trouble you all with cleaning up the battlefield."
"Not a problem! Not a problem!" one of them said with a smile.
He glanced at the grotesque mass of flesh and blood beside Jiang Ning, at the black blood all over the ground melting away the snow, then immediately said, "Commander Jiang slew an evil abomination and protected our safety. Small matters like this are precisely what we should handle!"
"That's right! That's right! Brother Chen is right!" someone beside him echoed.
Jiang Ning nodded. He walked over to the headless flesh-and-blood monster, devoid of all life, crouched down, extended his right hand, parted its flesh, and pinched her bones.
Bone-Forging Realm!
Jiang Ning's gaze suddenly sharpened.
