Crisis Strikes Again

Next, Lin Qing disposed of the other two corpses, replicating their Perfect Mastery Horsemanship and Archery skills, both of which would be useful later.

However, he didn't rush to absorb it; he simply stored it temporarily in the Rebirth Record.

Upon returning to the Corpse Collector's courtyard, Lin Qing went to an open space nearby and first absorbed the two souls that possessed Perfect Mastery Horsemanship and Archery.

He then saw many fragmented memories of the two people, from which he gained a lot of valuable information.

First, there was information about the Prefectural City. He previously knew very little about the Prefectural City, but through the memories of these two people, he gained a broad understanding of Prefectural City.

He often heard from others how prosperous the Prefectural City was and how peaceful and happy the people's lives were. He once believed it too, but now he realized that it was all just the people's fantasy.

The Prefectural City was also far from peaceful, perhaps even more chaotic than Jiangyin County.

The Prefectural City is a gathering place for outstanding people from 128 counties, with a large number of Martial Artist. Its population is ten times that of Jiangyin County, and various forces are intertwined and interwoven, with conflicts frequently occurring between powerful families, gangs, and martial arts schools.

However, the biggest problem is still the Yinyuan Sect. Since last year, the conflict between the Yinyuan Sect and the Soul-Calming Office has escalated rapidly, resulting in a large number of casualties on both sides.

As for why this happened, Lin Qing didn't know either. The memories of these two people were fragmented and chaotic, and the valuable information that could be obtained was ultimately limited.

Lin Qing then absorbed the soul of the last person, and numerous images appeared and disappeared before his eyes.

He also obtained some information about the Prefectural City as a result.

"Last March, Wang Ling destroyed one of the Yinyuan Sect's strongholds. Coincidentally, the Yinyuan Sect's leader's daughter was inside and was Yinyuan Sect tortured and killed by Wang Ling. This seems to be the fuse that ignited the conflict within the Yin Yuan Sect," Lin Qing murmured to himself.

In the final scene, he also saw the battle scene at the Han Family Residence last night, where a fierce-looking, black-clad, disheveled middle-aged man killed twelve Prefectural Soldiers.

Lin Qing could sense that the middle-aged man was very strong and fast, so fast that even the Twelve Prefectural Soldiers couldn't catch a glimpse of him. His Saber Art was also very sharp, like lightning, each strike deadly and without any hesitation.

Lin Qing mentally assessed the difference in combat strength between himself and the man in black, concluding that he was most likely no match for the man in black and would have no choice but to flee.

Moreover, he also saw that a large pit had been dug at the entrance to the Hidden Chamber in the Han Family Residence, which was likely the work of people from the Yinyuan Sect.

"The contents of the Hidden Chamber are now in my hands, and I would never hand them over. However, the Yinyuan Sect Fiend might be secretly investigating, and it's hard to guarantee that they won't trace it back to me."

Lin Qing suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis again.

"I need to become stronger, at least strong enough to escape from that man in black," Lin Qing thought to himself.

"This world is so chaotic, there's never a moment of peace for anyone," Lin Qing couldn't help but sigh again.

He thought that with the Han Family destroyed and the Buddha Statue handed over, he could finally have some peace and quiet, but unexpectedly, another Yinyuan Sect Fiend appeared out of nowhere.

The night was deep, and the night wind howled.

In a dilapidated courtyard in the south of the city, Mei Chaofeng sat on a chair, one hand supporting his knife, his eyes slightly closed, his long hair flying in the wind.

Swish swish swish!

Four figures suddenly descended from the sky, landing in front of him and kneeling on one knee.

"Sir, we have investigated and found that Han Shantong was on his way to Assassination a Constable named Lin Qing on the night of his death, but something went wrong along the way, and he was suspected to have been killed by Wang Ling," one of them said.

Mei Chaofeng opened his eyes and said coldly, "So, the treasure in the Hidden Chamber is either in Wang Ling's hands or Lin Qing's?"

"In my humble opinion, it's more likely to fall into Lin Qing's hands. After all, when the Han Family was raided, Wang Ling didn't send anyone to search the Hidden Chamber, unless he wanted to keep it all for himself," the man added.

"Impossible. I know Wang Ling's character well; he would disdain doing such a thing. I think he was unaware of it. The treasure in that Hidden Chamber has most likely fallen into Lin Qing's hands," Mei Chaofeng said in a deep voice.

"My lord, Lin Qing has been granted Gold Token by Wang Ling, and is protected day and night in secret, making it difficult to act," the man in black added.

"The Soul-Calming Office's Gold Token? Wang Ling is extremely arrogant and has always hoped to find a peerless genius to collect the complete version of the Unity Heaven Art for him. However, he has not found one for so many years. He never expected that there would be such a genius in this small Jiangyin County, who could actually gain his approval." A look of surprise flashed in Mei Chaofeng's eyes.

He stood up and gazed at the night sky. "Since that's the case, then we can't let Lin Qing leave this county alive. Even if he doesn't have the treasure from the Hidden Chamber, I'll still kill him."

Xuan Yi, you keep an eye on him. If you get the chance, kill him and bring me his head.

But remember, do not act rashly.

Yes, sir!

"The rest of you continue searching for information about the Hidden Chamber. I must retrieve that bottle of Extreme Yin Virgin Blood!" Mei Chaofeng said in a deep voice.

"Yes, sir!"

Pure Yin Virgin Blood is too precious. Girls born on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month are extremely rare, but Evil Spirits seem to crave it, and he doesn't want to miss out.

At this time.

Lin Qing returned to the small courtyard he had previously rented. After dinner, he went back to his room and swallowed an Essence-Replenishing Pills.

He bought this on his way home today when he passed by a pharmacy.

As the medicinal effects took hold, Lin Qing had a thought and placed the Perfect Mastery Tiger Roar Fist into his Equipment Slot.

In an instant, Lin Qing's body trembled, his blood surged, and he suddenly rushed towards his right wrist.

Crack!

With a muffled thud, in just a moment, the acupoints on Lin Qing's wrist were opened, energy flowed, and his physique began to transform.

However, Tiger Roar Fist is only Bright Force martial art and will not cause drastic changes in the body. Lin Qing did not feel intense pain as before.

He only felt a slight heat throughout his body, along with a strange, tingling sensation.

The whole process came quickly and ended quickly, taking about 15 minutes to complete the transformation.

Lin Qing stretched his muscles and bones slightly, and could feel that his physical strength had increased again, but the increase was not large, only about a few hundred kilograms more.

But Lin Qing was still very happy; even the smallest growth is still growth.

Moreover, he had heard that the more internal energy one possessed, the stronger one would become at each level of cultivation in the future, and that the benefits of the Tiger Roar Fist far exceeded a few hundred kilograms of internal energy.

He then began practicing the Tiger Roar Fist in the room, unleashing his power. One could faintly hear the roar of a tiger in his ears, and his body emanated a surging killing intent.

Before long, Lin Qing finished practicing the entire set of boxing techniques, and felt refreshed all over.

"With the Rebirth Record, I can gather not only six types, but even Nine Force Types within the next six months," Lin Qing thought to himself.

Three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the small courtyard.

Lin Qing was practicing Bloodflame Incineration, and every punch and kick was fierce and powerful, naturally exuding a murderous aura.

Yu Qiuyu suddenly pushed open the door and entered the courtyard, a hint of worry in his eyes.

Lin Qing had just finished demonstrating a set of martial arts moves when he saw Yu Qiuyu's expression and asked with a smile, "Old Yu, why do you look so worried?"

"Lin Qing, be careful these days. If you need to go out, try to avoid going alone, and don't wander around at night. Two Constable from the Night Patrol Office went missing yesterday. The Yinyuan Sect Fiend haven't left; they're still in the city!"
