95: Black Evil Burning Heaven Demonic Scripture, Man Slaughters Dragon Bank
He gained over twenty potential points, which was quite a bit more than from the Stone Lion Statue before.
Thinking about it, it was normal. Linshui Town was much larger than the villages near Stone Lion River, and its population was also much greater. Even the Red Water River itself was wider than the Stone Lion River.
Withdrawing his hand, Qin Jiang took out a hundred-tael silver note from hisPregnant and placed it into the donation box. He picked up an incense stick, flicked his wrist, and the tip of the incense ignited from the friction with the air.
After offering the incense, he left directly; he had many more places to visit today.
That night, Cloud Crane Courtyard.
Qin Jiang lay on his back in the courtyard, comfortably enjoying the warm evening breeze.
A moment later, he opened his eyes, his gaze falling on the panel.
【Potential Points: 1156.8】
During the day, he had visited all the surrounding villages and small towns, finally gathering enough potential points for the Black Fiend Demon Statue Skill's leap-forward evolution.
'Potential, Evolve, Black Fiend Demon Statue Skill.'
【Evolving... Evolution complete.】
【Black Fiend Demon Statue Skill (Perfection) advanced to Black Fiend Sky Burning Demonic Scripture (First Layer) (1 / 4000) [96%]】
【Black Fiend Sky Burning Demonic Scripture (First Layer) (1 / 4000) [96%]】
【Potential Points: 56.8】
Whoosh—!
Surging black flames instantly rose, forming an ethereal black flame human figure.
Almost instantly, Qin Jiang's body swelled, transforming into a six-zhang giant.
His black gold auspicious cloud robe could no longer withstand it, and with a 'bang,' it shattered into countless fragments.
The next moment, the black flame human figure transformed into a whirlwind, enveloping Qin Jiang, and vanished in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, Qin Jiang was already clad in a black brocade robe, its surface faintly reflecting the moonlight, giving it the texture of flowing black flames.
Whoosh~
He exhaled slightly, his body gradually returning to normal size, and the clothes on him changed and shrunk accordingly.
This was clothing he had condensed using the Black Fiend Demonic Flame, and both its defense and elasticity were under his control.
After adapting for a while, his gaze fell on the section after the Black Fiend Sky Burning Demonic Scripture, his eyes slightly brightening.
Just the first layer required 4000 experience points, far exceeding the Azure Fire Bronze Furnace Skill, almost doubling it!
Perceiving himself, the limit that the Azure Fire Bronze Furnace Skill had touched had been broken, replaced by a comfortable sensation akin to a fish leaping into the sky.
'Potential, Add Points, Black Fiend Sky Burning Demonic Scripture!'
【Black Fiend Sky Burning Demonic Scripture (First Layer) (1 / 4000), Experience Points + 4000】
【Black Fiend Sky Burning Demonic Scripture (Second Layer) (1 / 4500)】
【Potential Points: 16.8】
The black flames rose for a moment before slowly dissipating, but the lingering heat still scorched the air, and the airflow surged, blowing away the heat.
Looking at the less than twenty potential points remaining, he couldn't help but sigh, it really wasn't enough to last long.
The potential points he had painstakingly gathered from so many places were used up in less than half an hour.
The next day, Qin Jiang pushed open his door, breathing in the fresh morning air. Before he could even stretch, a rush of hurried footsteps sounded from outside the courtyard.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!” “Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Knocking sounds arose, and Qin Jiang waved his hand, opening the courtyard gate. Long Yuesheng quickly walked in.
“Brother Long, what’s the rush?” he asked with a smile.
Long Yuesheng's expression stiffened at the words “Brother Long,” then he gritted his teeth and said, “Fourth Uncle, there’s news about the Jin Yu Pavilion.”
Whoosh!
Qin Jiang instantly appeared in front of Long Yuesheng, “Where?!”
Long Yuesheng’s pupils constricted. In that instant, he hadn't even seen Qin Jiang's movements clearly.
A sense of frustration welled up in his heart, “In Linshui Town. I found out there's a large number of outsiders moving in and out. If I'm not mistaken, they must all be people captured from various cities, towns, and villages in the commandery!
However, I don't know where these people are ultimately sent. I haven't found any traces of people leaving.
If they aren't being killed directly, then they must be held in a secret location, or transferred out through underground tunnels.”
“Do you know the location of those people?” Qin Jiang asked.
“There's a brothel called Su Sha Workshop. If I'm not mistaken, that should be it,” Long Yuesheng said.
Qin Jiang's eyes narrowed upon hearing this. A brothel? Another brothel.
Could An Lan also have something to do with this matter?
His sister went missing in a brothel, and that black spherical bead, whose origin he still didn't know, was also found in a brothel.
Now, it was even linked to human trafficking.
Coupled with An Lan once saying that she was originally from Ningan City, it might indeed have some connection to her.
“Let's go! To Linshui Town!”
Thump-thump-thump! Thump-thump-thump!
The urgent sound of horse hooves echoed through the streets. A formation of five hundred Black Armor Martial Artists charged into Linshui Town, heading straight for Su Sha Workshop.
These were the elite of the Long family, every one of them a Martial Artist who had cultivated True Martial Qi, with nearly half of them being second-rate experts.
Ten cavalrymen had one official, and a hundred cavalrymen had one general. Each official's leader was an expert of the Divine Intent Realm, and the general was a Grandmaster-level figure at the Peak of Divine Intent!
“Fourth Master! Should we charge straight in?” A burly man in dragon-patterned black armor beside Qin Jiang asked.
He was the commander of these five hundred Black Armor Army, named Long An, and also the head of a branch of the Long family. His strength had already reached the Fourth-tier Secret Martial Artist.
He was second only to Long Ye among the Long family's ordinary Secret Martial Artists!
After receiving the order this time, he was actually a bit displeased.
Although Qin Jiang had taken the Old Family Head as his master, he was still an outsider, so how could he be given such great authority?
But this was, after all, Long Daosheng's intention, and he couldn't disobey, so he could only bring his men.
However, being able to wipe out the Jin Yu Pavilion's people somewhat alleviated his displeasure.
The Jin Yu Pavilion's name was grand, but their actions were like rats in a sewer, always hiding in the dark, giving no chance to catch them!
“No need. You lead your men to set up a blockade. Just make sure no one escapes,” Qin Jiang said.
Long An's face showed a hint of displeasure upon hearing this. “Alright, I'll guard outside. If there's any unexpected situation, crush the distress signal, and I'll come to support immediately!”
“Okay, I understand,” Qin Jiang said.
Soon, they arrived at Su Sha Workshop, a three-story building with pink gauze curtains hanging on its doors and windows.
“Surround it! No one is allowed to leave!” Long An roared, and the Black Armor Army swiftly encircled Su Sha Workshop.
In just a few breaths, the entire Su Sha Workshop was completely sealed off. Only then did the guests inside Su Sha Workshop belatedly react.
“What's going on?! Who are those people outside?!”
“What's happening?! Is it the County Magistrate's Feathered Army? Do you know who I am?!”
“No! That insignia is the Long family's Black Armor Army! Long An, the Human Butcher, is here!”
Qin Jiang listened to the discussions inside the building and couldn't help but look at Long An, “Commander Long actually has the title of Human Butcher. That's quite unexpected.”
Long An's expression was stern, and seeing Qin Jiang's frivolous smile, he felt a bit displeased.
Compared to Young Master Qihan, this so-called Fourth Master was far too inferior!
“It's just a frog in a well, looking at the sky from its bottom. It's just a bunch of small fry who were scared by killings, nothing to take seriously.”
Qin Jiang nodded, dismounted, and said, “Wait for me to come out.”
With that, he walked directly into Su Sha Workshop.
After Qin Jiang entered Su Sha Workshop, Long An slightly raised his hand. The Black Armor Army, receiving the order, had fifty officials each assemble a long pole, thick at the top and pointed at the bottom, from the weapon bags they carried.
Swoosh!
The long pole was forcefully plunged into the soil by the official. This was a specialized weapon they had developed during their efforts against the Jin Yu Pavilion.
Its purpose was to prevent the Jin Yu Pavilion's people from escaping through underground tunnels!
