Li Ming returned to the center of the battlefield.

at this time.

The imperial court was already on the offensive, and the Qingmo Society members were powerless to fight back.

One of the most important reasons was that he killed Ning Buyuan.

With Ning Buyuan's death, all the corpse-refining activities ceased.

Without the help of corpse refiners, the remaining Qingmo Society disciples had almost no will or ability to struggle.

"Lin Ping, are you alright?"

"Are you alright?"

Li Ming was a little worried when he saw Lin Ping, who was walking unsteadily.

His body was covered in blood, and the long sword in his hand was somewhat dull.

This shows how badly the fight went.

Lin Ping scratched his head and laughed:

"It's alright, I didn't go deep into the center of the battlefield."

This is all the blood of those demons; they are truly ruthless, as fearless as corpse refiners.

Even now, looking back, Lin Ping still feels a bit scared.

These people were willing to die for the Green Demon Society, and they didn't even know what pain was.

Unbelievable.

"They've probably been severely brainwashed; it's truly heinous..."

Li Ming shook his head.

No wonder the imperial court is pursuing these demonic organizations so rigorously.

Brainwashing, training assassins, massacring innocent people, and causing harm to the local area.

Even some martial artists have fallen for this trick, so what can ordinary people do?

This is tantamount to destroying the very foundation of a country.

"However... for some reason, those reanimated corpses have all stopped moving."

Lin Ping asked, puzzled.

"Of course it's because the master who controlled them died." Li Ming shrugged, offering no further explanation.

On the other side.

Lin Qiancheng's gaze sharpened, and he ordered several constables to bind the two men in black robes tightly, piercing their bones with iron chains, and press them aside.

He had already personally killed two of the four Black Demons.

Warriors who swore to never surrender were all killed; none were spared despite being brainwashed.

They may have been innocent at first, but after their men had spilled countless blood.

They also became less innocent.

At a command.

All resistance from the Blue Demon Society has come to an end.

Li Ming approached Lin Qiancheng without making a sound, and seeing him panting, asked:

"Master, are you alright?"

"It's alright, he won't die..."

Lin Qiancheng breathed a sigh of relief. He had been firmly established within the Six Doors for the past few years, and now he was finally able to fight a major battle.

happy!

"You killed Master Mingzhi before, which deserves credit, but... what did you do after that?"

Lin Qiancheng's tone carried a hint of confusion and questioning.

Li Ming replied with a smile:

"Naturally, we must first capture the king to catch the thief. How can we succeed without addressing the root cause of these scourges?"

Li Ming had just shown off a little in front of his master, and while he appeared calm on the surface, he was secretly quite pleased with himself.

He felt it even more acutely.

What is talent? What is cheating?

It's fun to cheat for a moment, and it's even more fun to cheat all the time.

Lin Qiancheng was startled upon hearing Li Ming's reply:

"I was wondering why these zombies stopped moving. It seems you went to deal with the controller?"

Then he paused.

"That's not right. The mastermind behind this, if I'm not mistaken, should be Ning Buyuan, the branch leader of the Azure Demon Society."

That's a grandmaster, someone who's been on Cangzhou's wanted list for years...

Wait...could it be you?

Then, glancing at Li Ming's smiling face, he immediately understood what had happened.

Lin Qiancheng's eyes held a mixture of joy and melancholy as he said:

"The new generation replaces the old, and the new generation replaces the old... It's true that we can't deny that we're getting old."

"However... don't underestimate the heroes of the world because of this. The truly top talents are all climbing the martial arts path in Xuandu City and the nine major sects."

“There are even more sacred sects located in a wider world.”

"A few years ago, it was said that the successor of the supreme power Yandi Palace traveled to the world and came to Daxuan. He was born with the Heaven-Burning Sacred Body, the Dragon-Elephant Divine Bone, and all his meridians were open. He was about the same age as you and defeated the number one on the Human Ranking at the time."

Li Ming raised an eyebrow.

A descendant of Emperor Yan?

Is this the legendary chosen one?

The top-ranked person on the list possesses the fourth-grade Divine Power Realm.

In comparison, I'm still only at the Condensation Realm... which is indeed a bit lacking. Compared to others of the same age, the other party is probably already a Grandmaster.

I wonder if I'll ever get to see the entry for such a peerless genius in the future; it must be incredible, if he could...

A hundred thoughts flashed through my mind.

However, Li Ming outwardly pretended to have learned his lesson and said:

“This disciple would naturally not dare to be overly ambitious, and Master is certainly not old.”

Today, I saw my master fight four opponents single-handedly, demonstrating the demeanor of a true master.

Moreover, I will never forget your guidance, even if it takes my life.

"If you call out to me in the future, I will come no matter how far away I am."

Seeing Li Ming's slightly exaggerated manner, Lin Qiancheng's previous complex emotions dissipated, and he impatiently waved his hand, saying:

"Stop talking nonsense and get me to the scene right now."

“This matter is not over yet. I need to deal with Bai Zhan. We can’t leave any leverage for others in this matter, otherwise we will be accused of abusing our power. If it attracts the attention of the Buddhist forces, it will be another troublesome situation.”

"Moreover, this matter must be clarified, and an explanation must be given to the world and to the innocent souls who died tragically."

“No family that colludes with the Azure Demon Society will escape.”

"Also, if you really kill that guy... this merit is enough to make you a top-ranking constable."

Lin Qiancheng's eyes showed a complex expression, as well as disbelief.

Li Ming's swift defeat of Ming Zhi was a pleasant surprise, after all, the other party was also a master who was about to enter the Grandmaster realm, just like him.

However, Li Ming easily killed Mingzhi, uncovered the mastermind behind the scenes, and even defeated a sixth-grade Golden Core cultivator with only a seventh-grade Condensing Qi Realm cultivation.

Such a record is enough to earn him a place on the honor roll.

And the ranking won't be too low.

Once this matter is reported, it is destined to make one famous throughout the world.

If he hadn't taken this disciple in early on, even grandmasters and martial saints would probably be vying for him.

Li Ming himself probably didn't even realize it.

Its status is about to soar.

Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise, and a blessing may be a misfortune in disguise.

Danger is not only a bad thing; overcoming it can be an opportunity.

This time, Li Ming's wealth is probably a hundred times greater than yesterday.

Today we'll still be in contact with this remote little town, and at most we'll encounter one Grandmaster. But from now on, this Green Stone City will surely be unable to contain this hidden dragon.

He converses with learned scholars and has no dealings with uncultured people.

When the time comes, with his name on the Human Ranking, he will travel to the state capital and the capital city, and even those high-ranking Martial Saints will hear the name of Li Ming.

Lin Qiancheng was originally worried that his apprentice might be bullied or suppressed if he was transferred to the state capital, but now he is not so worried.

After all, Li Ming is a true Martial Saint seed, and now he has the combat power of a Grandmaster.

No one dared to question it anymore.

"Top-ranking constable?"

Li Ming was somewhat surprised.

Becoming a top-notch constable not only brings promotions and raises, but also a significant increase in salary and status.

After all, the lowest rank for a top-ranking constable used to be a martial arts grandmaster. He hadn't even reached the Great Perfection stage yet, so wasn't it a bit too fast for him to take on this role?

Lin Qiancheng said indifferently:

"With my disciple's achievements, what difficulty is there in becoming a top-ranking constable?"

"Since we have the combat strength of a Grandmaster, we are not afraid of any rumors. Strength and achievements are enough."

"The Six Doors don't have that many seniority requirements."

"You should know that outside of the Great Xuan, there have been people of extraordinary talent who were ennobled at a young age and fought against all races at the age of thirty. Why should they care about these worldly rules?"

Geniuses are often able to ignore these unspoken rules.

As long as you are strong enough and talented enough, no one will dare to question you.

Lin Qiancheng's mindset was also somewhat complicated.

On the one hand, he didn't want Li Ming to be too flamboyant and get frustrated when he encountered those unreasonable geniuses.

On the other hand, he also hoped that Li Ming could be proactive and enterprising on the path of martial arts.

However, these principles, if stated explicitly, will not have much effect.

Ultimately, it's up to the person involved to figure it out.

Li Ming responded, his gaze calm and his heart undisturbed.

If he can continue to accumulate life energy, or seize powerful attributes.

Against those chosen ones, it's hard to say who will win or lose.
