Several people stepped out of this ordinary farmhouse courtyard.

A group of constables surrounded them.

"County Magistrate!"

The burly leader cupped his hands and said.

Bai Luoyu scanned the group, feeling a sense of suppression in his heart.

This group of constables were all burly and unusually tall.

With just one glance, he knew that these people were not in a normal state.

And they subtly gave him a strong sense of oppression.

"It seems the Worship God Sect has completely infiltrated the County Office!" Bai Luoyu thought to himself, his heart heavy.

If the County Office was like this, one could imagine how the ordinary people of Baisha County were!

At this moment, Jiang Ning glanced at the group and then withdrew his gaze.

I wonder if my blood, with the characteristics of a Divine Descendant's dependent, can restore them to their original state.

Thoughts flickered in Jiang Ning's mind.

He had been thinking about this question since just now.

Because Baisha County had been too deeply infiltrated by the Blood Flesh God.

Too many people had already become dependents of the Blood Flesh God.

This also reminded him of Long Xingyun's change before; his blood entered Long Xingyun's body and appeared ineffective, clearly showing rejection.

And offering incense at the Holy Temple was also the same.

"However, if it's according to the previous situation, it should be ineffective!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Ning couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

If it was ineffective, these people contaminated with the Blood Flesh God's aura would surely be purged.

Because, strictly speaking, these people had already become dependents of the Blood Flesh God.

"Deng County Magistrate, lead the way!" Bai Luoyu spoke at this moment!

"Follow me, Inspector Bai!" Deng Fei grinned, revealing blood-red gums.

A moment later.

The group arrived at a red-light district in Baisha County.

In the morning, the red-light district was unusually quiet, with not many people moving about.

Cuiliu Pavilion.

Looking at the signboard in front.

"Sure enough, it's here!" Jiang Ning muttered to himself.

Just now, he had activated his Heavenly Eye to scan the entire Baisha County and discovered several extremely unusual places in Baisha County.

And the basement beneath Cuiliu Pavilion was where the abnormality lay.

In the basement, blood-colored and black Evil Qi surged like a tide under the scrutiny of his Heavenly Eye, as if it could break through the surface at any moment and envelop the entire Baisha County.

Immediately after.

His lips moved slightly, and a sound transmission echoed in Bai Luoyu's ear.

"Brother Bai, hide behind me later!"

At this moment.

Bai Luoyu heard Jiang Ning's voice in his ear and couldn't help but look at Jiang Ning.

Seeing Jiang Ning nod slightly in indication, he immediately understood.

"Deng County Magistrate, are you saying my subordinates were lingering in places of pleasure, which is why I lost contact with them?" Bai Luoyu suddenly asked.

"That's not it!" Deng Fei shook his head, then said, "As far as this County Magistrate knows, this Cuiliu Pavilion's basement is also a stronghold of the Worship God Sect! Inspector Bai's subordinates disappeared here back then!"

"Before, this County Magistrate was outnumbered and dared not venture into this Dragon's Den and Tiger's Lair!"

"Today, with Inspector Bai's help, I finally dare to give it a try!"

Upon hearing these words, a look of surprise immediately appeared on Bai Luoyu's face.

He hadn't expected to hear such words from Deng Fei now.

"Deng County Magistrate, do you know that your current physique is unusually burly?" Jiang Ning asked.

"Naturally!" Hearing Jiang Ning's words, Deng Fei grinned: "Have you heard of a general's belly?"

"This County Magistrate comes from a military background, having served in the army for many years!"

"If my physique wasn't burly, how could I have achieved such illustrious military feats? Military men are always broad-waisted and robust."

"You, young brother, seem to have too little experience!"

At this point, Deng Fei pointed to the constables who had come with him!

"Look at these personal guards of mine; they fought alongside me on the battlefield. Which one of them isn't burly, broad-waisted, and robust?"

Upon hearing these words, the constables turned and smiled in unison at Jiang Ning, revealing their blood-red gums.

"Oh~"

"County Magistrate, why have you come today?"

A robust middle-aged woman, wearing a loose red dress and waving a handkerchief, walked out of Cuiliu Pavilion.

From her neck downwards, layers of flesh accumulated.

Her weight was at least three to four hundred pounds.

"Enough nonsense, I suspect you're harboring criminals here, and I need to lead a team inside to inspect!" Deng Fei said.

"County Magistrate, you're truly cold today!" The robust middle-aged woman waved her handkerchief.

Then she stepped aside: "Since the County Magistrate wants to inspect, please do! My Cuiliu Pavilion conducts business honestly and has never feared any inspection."

"Inspector Bai, please!" Deng Fei said.

Bai Luoyu nodded.

Then he looked at Jiang Ning.

"Sir, I'll scout ahead!" Jiang Ning said.

"Good!" Bai Luoyu nodded.

Subsequently.

Jiang Ning was the first to step into Cuiliu Pavilion.

Entering the front hall, there were only a few yawning panderers and scantily clad young women.

It looked no different from a typical place of pleasure.

"To the backyard!" Deng Fei said.

Jiang Ning nodded.

Entering the backyard.

Decadent music drifted into their ears.

Clearly, someone was doing morning exercises.

At this moment.

Deng Fei and the others almost queued up to pass through the circular archway leading to the backyard.

Their robust bodies prevented them from passing through the circular archway side by side.

"Inspector Bai, as far as I know, that stronghold is inside the rockery." Deng Fei said.

At the same time.

Upon arriving at the backyard of Cuiliu Pavilion, Jiang Ning's gaze locked onto the rockery.

He had already known where the entrance to the basement was when he activated his Heavenly Eye earlier.

"I'll lead the way!" Jiang Ning said.

As his voice fell.

He walked towards the tall rockery in the backyard of Cuiliu Pavilion.

Going around to the back.

He kicked away a boulder that looked incredibly real, and instantly, a ten-foot-tall cave entrance appeared before him.

The inside of the cave was not dark; mottled sunlight streamed through the cracks in the rockery, providing enough light to illuminate the cave, which was only about five or six meters in diameter.

Jiang Ning's gaze quickly locked onto the dark and deep entrance on the ground.

Bai Luoyu also squeezed in from behind at this moment.

The next moment.

His gaze immediately narrowed.

He looked at a token in front.

He raised his hand and grabbed it, and the token flew into his hand.

Wiping away the bloodstains, Bai Luoyu's expression immediately changed.

"It's Lin Xiao!"

Then, his eyes instantly became sharp and filled with killing intent.

Even though he had long been prepared in his heart that his former subordinates had most likely met with misfortune.

But the moment his guess proved true, his heart was still filled with mixed emotions.

Those were his people, his subordinates.

Now, they had perished here.

Bai Luoyu involuntarily clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his flesh.

"Brother Bai, wait for me here!"

Jiang Ning said.

"No, I'll go down with Brother Jiang!" Bai Luoyu shook his head, his gaze resolute.

As his voice fell.

A cold light flashed in his hand, and a long sword shimmering with cold light appeared in his grip.

"Alright then!" Seeing the expression on Bai Luoyu's face, Jiang Ning nodded.

"You all wait outside!" Bai Luoyu saw Jiang Ning enter the tunnel first, then turned back and spoke to his attendants outside.

As his voice fell, he also quickly followed.

On the other side.

Inside the basement.

"They're here!" The woman, wearing a green bustier and long skirt, revealing her waist, spoke.

"Sister Lin, will you make a move or will I?" The Fire Divine Envoy asked.

"Don't ask 'you' or 'I', let's move together, we can't give him any chance to send a message!" The woman said.

"Sister Lin is right to admonish me!" The Fire Divine Envoy looked relaxed.

In these past days, through sacrifices, their strength had greatly surpassed what it was before.

Especially the strength of their Physical Body, it was now incomparable.

Thump, thump, thump—

Just then, a series of footsteps echoed from above.

The three exchanged glances, then instantly waved their hands, and the burning torches in the basement were extinguished in an instant.

In a flash.

The entire basement became a pitch-black darkness.

Only the faintly scarlet light emanating from the surging blood pool in the center appeared incredibly eerie.

In the pitch-black corridor.

"Brother Jiang, slow down, be careful of any traps around!"

Bai Luoyu looked at Jiang Ning's normal pace and couldn't help but remind him.

From entering the rockery until now, he noticed that Jiang Ning wasn't cautious at all, so he couldn't help but speak up.

Hearing this, Jiang Ning said.

"No need to worry!"

As his voice fell.

He remained as usual.

Relying on the moisture diffused in the air of the underground passage, he knew the structure of the underground passage like the back of his hand.

He also knew that there were no so-called traps around this narrow, downward underground passage.

From this point, he also knew how confident the people below were.

But while the people below were confident, he was equally confident.

The Worship God Sect, it wasn't as if he hadn't encountered them before.

Back then, he could face the Worship God Sect's targeting without fear in Luoshui County, let alone now.

His current self was no longer on the same level as he was back then.

Coupled with the Vajra Undying Body having broken through its limits, its defense was practically impregnable.

With the superposition of Dragon Elephant Strength, his Physical Body was already indestructible.

He continued downwards.

"Brother Jiang!" Bai Luoyu spoke again.

"Alas!" Then he sighed softly, no longer trying to persuade him.

He understood that Jiang Ning, being young and invincible, had never encountered setbacks in his life.

Coupled with his youthful exuberance, it was normal for him not to listen to his words.

When he first made a name for himself in his youth, he also had a similar past.

It was only after encountering even younger and stronger opponents.

Repeated blows and setbacks made him realize the truth that there are always people stronger than you, and mountains beyond mountains.

"I hope the setbacks and blows Brother Jiang faces in the future aren't too great!"

Looking at Jiang Ning's back, Bai Luoyu murmured in his heart.

Then he quickly followed.

As they continued to go deeper, the faint light from above, which reached this point, almost completely dissipated.

Even with Bai Luoyu's Fifth Rank Martial Dao cultivation and his enhanced senses after Inner Strengthening, he could barely see the ground.

He could only vaguely make out the outline of Jiang Ning's back.

Following behind Jiang Ning step by step, he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.

With his vision obscured, fear inevitably arose in his heart.

...

"They're here!"

The woman in the green bustier and long skirt moved her lips slightly.

In the pitch-black basement, the other two Divine Envoys nodded slightly.

"Attack!" As Jiang Ning walked out of the passage.

A loud roar echoed in his ears.

The next moment.

The three of them attacked in unison.

As Divine Envoys of the Blood Flesh God, they had received blessings from the deity.

Their Physical Body was their strongest asset.

With their Physical Body, they were confident they could contend with Fourth Rank Martial Artists.

At critical moments, unafraid of their minds being corrupted, they could transform into Six-Armed Divine Offspring, and even suppress Fourth Rank Martial Artists.

In this small place of Dongling County, they didn't believe there were many who were stronger than them.

The three of them attacked with full force, their goal being to deliver a fatal blow to Bai Luoyu, leaving him no time to send any message before being killed by them here.

In this flash of lightning.

They clearly saw the appearance of the person who came.

It wasn't Bai Luoyu?!

Doubt arose in their hearts.

But their momentum did not stop, instead, it grew even stronger.

"Brother Jiang!"

Bai Luoyu noticed the movement and immediately spoke, but before his words landed, the three's attacks had already reached them.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning's expression remained unchanged.

He had already known about the ambush here.

The next moment.

He raised his hand and threw a punch.

Boom!

Full force broke through the air.

Powerful fist force combined with speed, and the air was instantly compressed.

Then it expanded and burst open, emitting a deafening roar.

Subsequently.

Boom—

The woman was instantly blasted into a bloody mist.

In such a state, no matter how Heaven-Defying her self-healing ability, she was destined to die.

The other two, seeing this, their pupils contracted violently.

They had completely not expected the newcomer to be so incredibly powerful.

One punch had blasted Lin Divine Envoy, who was no weaker than them, into a bloody mist.

This kind of combat power instantly brought two words to their minds.

Grandmaster!!!

At this thought, despair filled their hearts.

But they also understood.

Having reached this point, they had no way to retreat; only by fighting with all their might would there be a chance of survival.

In an instant.

The two of them completely understood.

Then, their offensive did not stop, but their strength increased by another three points.

At the same time, their Divine Body began to swell, using the power granted to them by the deity.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning threw two more punches in succession.

He struck later but arrived first.

Boom—

Boom—

Their bodies had just begun to change when they were blasted into bloody mist by his punch.

All these changes were completed in a flash of lightning.

Jiang Ning then swept his gaze.

In the pitch-black basement, it was no different from daytime for him.

The next moment.

He raised his hand and waved.

Invisible Saber Intent tore through the air.

Whoosh—

The air seemed to be cut open.

Those Worship God Sect cultists were instantly dismembered by the Saber Intent that broke through the air.

In less than a breath's time, everything had settled.

Jiang Ning then had a thought, and fire appeared from the Void Realm.

The oil lamps and torches on the surrounding walls instantly lit up.

Bai Luoyu squinted his eyes, looking at everything before him with a bewildered expression.

A moment ago.

The surroundings were pitch black; although he couldn't see clearly, he could barely make out the outlines of his surroundings.

But by the commotion, he knew that someone had ambushed Jiang Ning just now.

Now the surroundings were brightly lit, but the attackers were nowhere to be seen.

Only a few diffused blood mists told him the truth.

Then, he looked at the Worship God Sect cultists dismembered by Jiang Ning's Saber Intent around him, feeling even more shocked in his heart.

He couldn't even tell what method they had died by.

But from the way they died, it was clear they had been dismembered by a sharp blade.

Seeing all this.

Bai Luoyu looked at Jiang Ning's back, feeling a sudden sense of his own insignificance.

He realized that he couldn't even fathom Jiang Ning's strength anymore.

He couldn't help but recall what Jiang Ning had said earlier.

Because he happened to be in Baisha County, he was able to appear quickly before him after he sent the message.

Just now, he had believed that explanation.

Because besides that reason, he couldn't think of how Jiang Ning could have appeared before him so quickly.

But he now doubted Jiang Ning's earlier statement.

Just then.

"Brother Bai, step back!"

Jiang Ning spoke, his gaze fixed on the surging and gradually boiling blood pool before him.
