The Netherworld Pacification Bureau's Mission

In that instant, Lin Qing unleashed an astonishing aura. Wei Dong happened to push open the door and was suddenly enveloped by this aura. He was startled, his body went limp, and he almost knelt down.

"Lin, Brother Lin—you're amazing!"

Lin Qing finished his practice, slowly exhaled a breath, and stretched his muscles and bones slightly.

He could clearly feel that his Arm Strength had increased explosively again, approaching 500,000 jin.

This is an extremely exaggerated number. An ordinary True Gang Realm Martial Artist only has 40,000 jin of strength, while Lin Qing has more than ten times that.

With this in mind, Lin Qing reached out and picked up a pebble from the ground. He flicked it with his finger, and whoosh! The pebble turned into a black shadow and hit a Jujube Tree not far away that required two people to hug.

With a loud crack, the Jujube Tree was struck in the middle by a stone, causing it to explode suddenly. Wood chips flew everywhere, and the tree broke in half and fell to the ground.

"This single flying stone is enough to shatter an ordinary fourth-realm Martial Artist," Lin Qing thought to himself.

When Wei Dong saw this scene, he could hear the whistling sound of the pebbles flying through the air and feel the terrifying power contained within them.

He swallowed hard. "Brother Lin, you've reached the True Astral Force?"

Lin Qing nodded slightly. "Remember to keep it a secret!"

He didn't expect that Wei Dong would see him break through at that very moment.

However, since we've seen it, we might as well just admit it.

"Absolutely! That's incredible, Brother Lin! You've reached the True Astral Force in less than a year! That's amazing!" Wei Dong exclaimed with admiration. Standing before Lin Qing, he could faintly sense a powerful aura emanating from him. He had only ever felt this way when facing Wang Ling before. Could it be that Lin Qing's combat strength was already comparable to Wang Ling's?

Absurd!

It must be an illusion!

Wei Dong quickly dismissed the idea, but Lin Qing interrupted his train of thought at that moment.

"Wei Dong, why are you back again?"

"Oh, I almost forgot, the Netherworld Pacification Bureau just sent people over to request the transfer of Corpse Collection Team to the Prefectural City to assist in the investigation. Both of us are on the list," Wei Dong said.

"Assist in the investigation?" Lin Qing raised an eyebrow.

"That's right. I heard that the Netherworld Pacification Bureau 'Yinyuan Sect Fiend deeds are becoming increasingly rampant, and the Jingming Division is short-handed," Wei Dong said.

"Alright, let's go take a look together." Lin Qing nodded.

He felt it was time to go out and explore. Didn't the Yinyuan Sect want to kill him? Bring it on! He was fearless now.

With his physical strength alone, he could easily dominate among the True Gang Realm experts, and if he were to mobilize his Gang Qi, he was confident he could even fight against the True Essence Realm Martial Artist.

Because the Unity Heaven Art is the most advanced technique, the protective Gang Qi it condenses must also be the most advanced Gang Qi, and its strength will be extremely astonishing.

The difference between True Essence and True Astral Force lies in the fact that Gang Qi transforms into Yuan Qi, greatly increasing its strength. It can be released outside the body and cover a certain area around the body.

Even a hundred ordinary True Astral Force Martial Artist combined might not be able to defeat a single True Essence Realm Martial Artist.

However, as long as the physical body is tough enough and the Gang Qi is strong enough, it is enough to make up for this gap.

This was not Lin Qing's idea, but rather clearly stated in the Unity Heaven Art), which states that one can sever True Essence upon entering the first level.

While they were pondering, the two went out and went straight to a Martial Arts Arena where hundreds of Constable had already gathered.

Ao Xiong stood with his hands behind his back, his posture as upright as a pine tree, his silver hair flowing in the wind, exuding a deep and imposing aura.

Before long, the personnel had assembled, and Ao Xiong said in a deep voice, "The situation in the Prefectural City has been tense recently, with the Yinyuan Sect Fiend causing chaos everywhere. Relying solely on the people of my Netherworld Pacification Bureau is insufficient to investigate the case, so I have dispatched men from the Night Patrol Office to assist."

As he spoke, a man suddenly appeared behind him and shouted, "Wang Hu, you take a team to the West City Alley; Zhao Chuan, you take a team to Black Osmanthus Alley— "

The man selected twelve people in one go, dividing everyone present into twelve teams, with Lin Qing and Wei Dong being assigned to the East City Alley.

The leader was a burly man with a Song Chuanxin, who had a strong build and a rough voice.

However, despite being the team leader, he treated Lin Qing with considerable respect.

"Constable Chief Lin, my name is Song Chuanxin, and I am Constable Chief of the Netherworld Pacification Bureau. You are coming with me today, so please cooperate."

"Don't worry, Constable Chief Song. Since I've been assigned to be your subordinate, I'll follow the rules," Lin Qing said softly.

"That's good. Constable Chief Lin is indeed a very easy person to get along with," Song Chuanxin said with a smile.

How could he dare offend Lin Qing? Lin Qing Chief Candidate, and who knows, he might become one of the three Office Chief the Department one day.

He was actually quite confused. Lin Qing shouldn't have been on the list of those to be transferred, but since Ao Xiong had personally selected him, he couldn't ask too many questions.

"Then let's set off. Recently, a wealthy family of thirteen was murdered in East City Alley, and three children have gone missing. Our mission is to investigate the scene, look for clues, and then follow the trail to capture the murderer alive," Song Chuanxin said.

"Okay." Everyone nodded.

Let's go.

Song Chuanxin immediately led his team out of the Martial Arts Arena. Ao Xiong stared at Lin Qing's back, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes.

He waited for a month but couldn't find the slightest opportunity, because Lin Qing actually hid in the Soul-Calming Office's headquarters for a whole month.

"Since there's no chance, I'll create one. As long as I can kill you, I can once again receive the blessing of the Spirit-Devouring Demon Child, and my son will also be granted the supreme Visualization Method. For my life, for my son's future, I'll take your life," Ao Xiong said coldly.

He deliberately chose a time when Wang Ling was absent; otherwise, if Wang Ling were present, he would never have called up Lin Qing.

As for whether Wang Ling will be angry after Lin Qing's death, he doesn't care. What difference does it make if he is angry? As long as there is no evidence, his life will not be in danger.

When there is a shortage of manpower, drawing staff from other departments to help out is the most common practice in the Soul-Calming Office.

"I hope those trash from the Yinyuan Sect won't disappoint me," Ao Xiong. "Four True Gang Realm Martial Artist working together should be more than enough to kill Lin Qing!"

An hour later, led by Song Chuanxin, Lin Qing and more than ten other Constable arrived at their target location, the Ma Family in East City Alley.

This man runs a ceramics business and has considerable wealth. He recently purchased a three-courtyard house in this area.

Lin Qing entered the courtyard, where the murder scene was still preserved. As far as the eye could see, the place was a mess, with thirteen bodies scattered in different places, each with a bizarre manner of death. Some had been sucked dry, some had been cut in two, and there was even a beautiful woman who died naked, her lower body a bloody mess, indicating that she had been abused before her death.

"Damn it, the Yinyuan Sect is a bunch of beasts!" Wei Dong couldn't help but curse when he saw this scene.

Song Chuanxin sighed, "Brother Wei, don't be angry. Adjust your mindset. You'll get used to it after seeing it more often. But you're right, the Yinyuan Sect is a bunch of beasts!"

"Alas, I only hope that the Yinyuan Sect will perish as soon as possible," Wei Dong sighed.

"Go around and see if you can find any clues," Song Chuanxin nodded and instructed.

The group dispersed. Lin Qing, along with Wei Dong and three other Constable, went to the backyard, which was overgrown with weeds and contained only a few outhouses.

Just as he was about to leave, a piercing scream suddenly came from all around, violently filling Lin Qing's ears. He first felt a sharp pain in his brain, and then found that the scenery around him was distorted. Suddenly the sky darkened, the soil under his feet turned blood red, and countless blue ghost claws reached out, tearing and scratching at his body.
