Chapter 75 Crisis Returns
Next, Lin Qing disposed of the other two corpses, replicating their horsemanship and archery skills to perfection, both of which would be useful in the future.
However, he did not rush to absorb it, but temporarily stored it in the Record of Rebirth.
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 horsemanship and archery skills.
He then saw many fragmented memories of the two people and gained a lot of valuable information from them.
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 it.
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 not peaceful, and might even be more chaotic than Jiangyin County.
The prefectural city is a gathering place for outstanding people from 128 counties, with a large number of martial artists. 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 Yin Yuan Sect. Since last year, the conflict between the Yin Yuan Sect and the Zhen Hun Division has intensified 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 last person's soul, and a large number of 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 Yin Yuan Sect's strongholds. Coincidentally, the Yin Yuan Sect's leader's daughter was inside and was ruthlessly tortured and killed by Wang Ling. This seems to be the fuse that ignited the Yin Yuan Sect's outbreak and the escalation of the conflict," Lin Qing murmured to himself.
In the final scene, he also saw the battle scene at the Han family mansion last night, where a fierce-looking, black-clad, disheveled middle-aged man killed twelve soldiers.
Lin Qing could sense that the middle-aged man was very strong and fast, so fast that even the Twelve Guards couldn't catch a glimpse of him. His swordsmanship 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, and concluded that he was most likely no match for the man in black, and that he could only run away if he encountered him.
Moreover, he also saw that a large pit had been dug at the entrance to the secret room in the Han family mansion, which was likely the work of people from the Yin Yuan Sect.
"The things in the secret room have all fallen into my hands, and I will never hand them over. However, the Yin Yuan Sect's demons may be secretly investigating, and it's hard to guarantee that they won't find out about 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 sighed again.
He thought that with the destruction of the Han family and the surrender of the Buddha statue, he could finally have some peace and quiet. But unexpectedly, another demon from the Yin Yuan Sect 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.
Brush brush!
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 assassinate a constable named Lin Qing on the night of his death, but something went wrong 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 secret chamber is either in Wang Ling's hands or Lin Qing's?"
"I think 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 secret room, 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 secret room has most likely fallen into Lin Qing's hands," Mei Chaofeng said in a deep voice.
"My lord, Lin Qing has been granted a golden token by Wang Ling, and is being protected in secret day and night, so it's not easy to make a move," the man in black said again.
"The Soul Suppressing Bureau's Golden Token? Wang Ling is extremely arrogant and has always hoped to find a peerless genius to collect the complete version of the Harmony of Heaven Technique 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 must not let Lin Qing leave this county alive. Even if he doesn't have the treasure in the secret room, I will 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 secret chamber. I must retrieve that bottle of extremely 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 a Qi-replenishing pill.
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 Perfected 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.
Click!
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 a Ming Jin 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 all over 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 improved again, but the improvement was not significant, only 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 the benefits of the Tiger Roar Fist would far exceed a few hundred pounds 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 Record of Rebirth, I can gather not only six types, but even nine types of energy in 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 Blood Flame Burning Body, 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 constables from the Night Patrol went missing yesterday. The Yin Yuan Sect demons haven't left; they're still in the city!"
