Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint-Chapter 385 - 71 No Good Seedling! (Vote for monthly ticket!)_2

The Sixth Rank Martial Artist from the God Worship Sect, who was a Half-step Jade Bone, was killed in the midst of Divine Transformation.

Moreover, he was killed by one punch.

It was precisely because the killing was too swift that the abnormal transformation of the flesh and blood had only proceeded halfway before it abruptly stopped.

This terrifying combat power could already be termed as invincible among the Sixth Rank.

This was completely on a different level compared to that day’s performance, incomparably superior.

“This kid is indeed a rare talent, with a heart full of righteousness, and a talent that is frighteningly strong!” the old woman muttered to herself as she looked at Jiang Ning.

Suddenly.

She clapped her hands, dispelling the black blood on her hands.

“Young fellow, where is the tunnel? Where is the statue of the Blood and Flesh God?”

Jiang Ning pointed to the dilapidated house, “The tunnel is inside this house!”

The old woman heard this and nodded slightly. Her figure moved, and she appeared like a ghost a yard away.

Then she moved again, disappearing from the spot and reappearing another yard away.

Seeing this scene, Xu Zhengnan’s pupils suddenly constricted.

At this moment, he understood why Hong Minghu showed such respect to this old woman.

This stature was not that of an ordinary Martial Artist.

At least, he was far from being her match.

With such movement technique, killing him would be nothing but an instant affair.

Seeing the old woman enter the house, Hong Minghu showed a smile and said to Jiang Ning, “Commander Jiang, shall we go in together?”

“Sure,” Jiang Ning nodded.

Ye Qiu also came up to Jiang Ning at this time and whispered, “Brother Jiang, today is really a huge haul!”

Jiang Ning smiled, “Just good luck!”

“You can’t dismiss it with just ‘good luck’. Another day, you must splurge a bit and treat me to a big meal.”

“No problem!” Jiang Ning laughed.

Suddenly.

The three of them walked towards the dilapidated house.

Xu Zhengnan watched the backs of the Jiang Ning trio and hesitated for a moment. Then, he turned around and ordered, “Wait here, do not follow inside!”

“The statue of the Blood and Flesh God has the effect of distorting one’s mind.”

Leaving these words behind, he hastened his steps to follow behind Jiang Ning and the others.

…

Stepping into the tunnel once again.

After several turns and twists, Jiang Ning, Hong Minghu, and Ye Qiu saw the statue, and also the old woman fumbling around under it.

“Strange!” she suddenly spoke.

“Granny Bai, what’s wrong?” asked Hong Minghu.

The old woman slowly caressed the statue and spoke slowly: “It seems the statue is missing something!”

“Missing something?” Hong Minghu looked surprised.

He immediately quickened his steps to the statue, reaching out to touch it.

Then his eyes tightened involuntarily, “The whispers by the ears are gone.”

“Indeed!” the old woman nodded slightly.

Jiang Ning, upon hearing the conversation between the two, was not at all surprised.

Ever since he had extracted the Divinity and Authority from this statue, it seemed to have completely turned into an ordinary sculpture, no longer possessing its previous mystery.

“Granny Bai, could this statue be a fake?” Hong Minghu said.

The old woman glanced at Jiang Ning, nodded and replied, “It’s real! I will study it once we return.”

“Alright!” Hong Minghu immediately responded.

At this time, after listening to the conversation between the two, any previous worries in Jiang Ning’s heart completely dissipated.

Just moments ago, after overhearing the conversation between the two, Jiang Ning thought he was about to miss out on the fifty thousand Contribution Points.

If they refused to recognize the deity statue as the one originally enshrined in the City God Temple, he would, without doubt, lose those fifty thousand Contribution Points.

Fortunately!

Fortunately, the senior that Hong Minghu spoke of, Granny Bai, acknowledged the deity statue.

Jiang Ning let out a sigh of relief in his heart.

To him now, fifty thousand Contribution Points were a considerable sum of wealth.

Not to mention anything else, just the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures he could exchange for those fifty thousand Contribution Points could increase his Source Energy Points by nearly a thousand, or even more.

Moreover, the three types of Pills prepared in advance for the Sixth Rank Bone Forging Realm had only cost him one hundred thousand taels.

Of course, Jiang Ning knew that the three types of Pills—the Iron Bone Pill, Xuan Bone Pill, and Jade Bone Pill—were definitely worth more than one hundred thousand taels.

Lin Qingyi must have secretly made up the difference.

But this was enough to prove that fifty thousand silver taels was not an insignificant amount, indeed, it was an extremely substantial fortune.

Not to mention, one couldn’t simply exchange fifty thousand silver taels for fifty thousand Contribution Points.

To exchange silver taels for Contribution Points at the Internal Affairs Office, it would cost one hundred thousand silver taels for fifty thousand Contribution Points.

…

Coming up from the underground passage.

Hong Minghu, with the deity statue in one hand, walked out along with the old woman.

“Come to the Internal Affairs Office after you are done with your tasks!” said the old woman.

“Yes, senior!” Jiang Ning bowed respectfully.

“Remember to treat us when you have the time!” Ye Qiu smiled at Jiang Ning.

“Certainly!” Jiang Ning nodded.

Shortly after.

The three of them had arrived quickly and left just as swiftly!

In the blink of an eye, they disappeared from sight.

“Commander Jiang!” Xu Zhengnan looked seriously at Jiang Ning.

“What’s the matter, Head Xu?” asked Jiang Ning.

Xu Zhengnan began, “I have collected some evidence of the crimes committed by the Liu family, Black Tiger Gang, and Sihe Chamber of Commerce and would like Commander Jiang to review it.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning glanced at Xu Zhengnan and then nodded slightly.

The next moment.

Xu Zhengnan took out several scrolls from someone who had followed him.

He handed them to Jiang Ning, “Please take a look, Commander Jiang. These contain the investigations I’ve conducted over the years on the Liu Mansion, Black Tiger Gang, and Sihe Chamber of Commerce.”

“I’ve known about the plight of these children for some time now.”

“But, as the saying goes, ‘Impatience spoils great plans.'”

“To eradicate the cancer of Luoshui County once and for all, I had to bide my time and gather enough evidence.”

“To mislead the Sihe Chamber of Commerce and the Liu family over the years, I have also been taking their bribe money, which is part of the evidence.”

Hearing Xu Zhengnan’s words.

“Impressive!” Jiang Ning inwardly commended.

Xu Zhengnan’s words were calculated and provided him with a defense, whether to advance or to retreat.

The consequences for him would not be severe, no matter how things unfolded.

Jiang Ning then unfurled the scrolls given to him by Xu Zhengnan, his eyes quickly scanning over them.

“Head Xu, are all the crimes listed here true?” Jiang Ning folded the scrolls and asked Xu Zhengnan.

“I stake my life on it, everything is true! And I have prepared irrefutable evidence in abundance!” Xu Zhengnan declared decisively.

Looking at Xu Zhengnan, who now exuded righteous indignation.

Jiang Ning couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, “It seems that no one involved has clean hands, after all!”

Jiang Ning had naturally discerned the reason for Xu Zhengnan’s sudden one hundred eighty-degree change in attitude.

It was nothing more than the information revealed by the senior just now.

A Sixth Rank Martial Artist from the God Worship Sect had been killed by him.

This news alone was enough to make Xu Zhengnan do a complete turnaround.

Afterwards.

Jiang Ning once again asked, “What are you planning to do next, Head Xu?”

“We will proceed according to the law!” declared Xu Zhengnan emphatically.

Then he looked at Jiang Ning again, “If Commander Jiang is willing, I hope you can help me subdue that Great Tributor of the Liu Mansion.”

After looking at Xu Zhengnan, Jiang Ning nodded, “Alright!”

At this point, Jiang Ning didn’t mind doing a good deed.

Judging by the crimes recorded on the scrolls, the key figures of the Liu Mansion are the kind that wouldn’t be enough even if executed ten times.

And as for the Sihe Chamber of Commerce and Black Tiger Gang, they were even more despicable.
