Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

Chapter 513: Chapter 125: Breaking into the County Government, County Lord Li Hong! (Seeking Monthly Votes!!)_2

This suggests that Hong Minghu’s Inner Breath had already reached the level of an ocean.

“Inner Breath like the ocean, above my own.”

“It’s no wonder that Hong Minghu and others previously turned a blind eye to He Jinyun and their reckless abduction and murder, indulging in their killing of the innocent and the blameless!”

Seeing this, Jiang Ning also understood just how many treasures the Inspection Office, or rather the Martial Saint Mansion, truly possessed.

The highest authority of the Inspection Office was the Martial Saint, so it naturally received the full support of the Martial Saint Mansion.

And the status of the Martial Saint Mansion in Great Xia was supremely unrivaled.

Moreover, as long as Great Xia had been established, the Martial Saint Mansion had existed.

Over such a long period of time, the owner of the Martial Saint Mansion remained the same person.

Thus, over these long years, who knows how many treasures the Martial Saint Mansion had accumulated.

In the past, he was simply not qualified to come into contact with those treasures.

From Hong Minghu’s current condition, Jiang Ning also saw that Contribution Points were far more important than he had understood before.

Because as far as he knew, to establish the Inspection Office and give it sufficient foundation, the Martial Saint Mansion had opened up all its accumulated resources of over eight hundred years to the Inspection Office.

As long as there were enough Contribution Points, one could freely exchange for the treasures the Martial Saint Mansion had collected over eight hundred years.

The Inspection Office had also received the full support of the Martial Saint Mansion because it represented the will of that Martial Saint.

Only then did they possess such special and unreasonable privileges.

It was precisely because of these privileges that Hong Minghu dared to flout the law today, first capturing Li Hong, the lord of Luoshui County, and then searching for solid and grounded evidence on him.

At this moment, Jiang Ning’s thoughts raced through his mind, and his Heavenly Eye was already looking at the ruins.

Seeing Li Hong coughing up blood in the ruins, and due to a single strike from Hong Minghu, his body was covered in bloodstains of various sizes.

There was a wound on his chest that was so deep, one could see Li Hong’s ribs, dark as obsidian.

“Sixth Grade, Xuan Bone?!” Jiang Ning’s gaze sharpened, with an inexplicable sense of amazement in his heart.

He now realized that before the establishment of the Inspection Office, the true strongest in Luoshui County was none other than the County Lord Li Hong.

The realm of Sixth Grade and Xuan Bone.

Half a year ago, looking over Luoshui County, he was an unbeatable presence.

Not quite!

He shook his head slightly.

The image of Shen Congyun flashed through his mind, followed by the image of Lin Qingyi.

Shen Congyun’s current strength was still unknown to him.

For when Shen Congyun left, his own strength was too weak, naturally unable to discern Shen Congyun’s true strength.

But from the clues Shen Congyun left behind, as well as the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill, he knew that Shen Congyun could not be weak.

And Lin Qingyi was even more extraordinary.

Despite not being very old, she held the strength of almost a Grandmaster.

And now, she may even have truly crossed that threshold, becoming a genuine Grandmaster!

“However, although Li Hong isn’t as formidable as Lin Qingyi and Shen Congyun, with such strength, he truly had the qualification to contend with the three major clans!”

“But looking at it this way, Li Hong’s future is bright. Does he really need to join the God Worship Sect?”

Jiang Ning suddenly questioned the previous investigation by Hong Minghu.

In his eyes, Hong Mingfu was no truly righteous person either.

How could a person who turned a blind eye to He Jinyun’s indulgent actions be upright?

Such a person might well be capable of framing and falsifying accusations.

Although Hong Minghu had always valued him, to this day, he had been treated with great courtesy.

But Jiang Ning had not forgotten when Hong Minghu had ordered him to make a move against Cao Mansion.

Such an act, where would there be goodwill?

And the treatment he now received was merely resulting from the display of his own strength and talent.

Those who have come this far are not extreme people.

Pretense are the norm, smiling externally while harboring swords internally is not uncommon.

Few people make extreme and biased choices, so the change in Hong Minghu’s attitude towards him made sense.

Amidst his thoughts, Jiang Ning’s gaze towards the ruins suddenly sharpened.

He saw the County Lord Li Hong, buried in the ruins, pull out a golden box as small as a palm, a whole size smaller than the one he had received before.

Seeing this object, Jiang Ning immediately thought of the golden box he had previously acquired, recalling the statue inside with three heads, six arms, and four legs.

“It seems Hong Minghu’s investigation wasn’t wrong after all! This Li Hong really does have an issue!”

…

On the other side.

Li Hong looked at the golden box in his hands, his gaze continuously shifting.

He knew far better than anyone his collusion with the God Worship Sect and knew that they bestowed upon him such an important status because of his title as the County Magistrate of Luoshui County.

He was clearer still that inside the golden box in his hands was something extremely significant.

But what he understood even more was that he was already inextricably linked with the God Worship Sect.

The moment he boarded the thief ship, there was no possibility of disembarking.

Hong Minghu’s attitude was excessively decisive, offering no room for negotiation, and his strikes left no room for survival.

At that moment.

The sound of Hong Minghu’s voice came to his ears from outside the ruins.

“Come out! A Martial Arts Sixth Grade like you hasn’t fallen that easily!”

Hearing Hong Minghu’s voice, there was no longer any hesitation in his eyes.

With his current strength, he had absolutely no right to resist Hong Minghu.

And once he fell into Hong Minghu’s hands, the scent of Evil God he had been tainted with, no matter how deeply hidden, would be unearthed, and by then, he would have to watch himself be associated with the God Worship Sect.

With even the slightest problem, given Hong Minghu’s power, he was very clear that his path to survival would be none.

Having risen step by step from a mere house servant, he certainly wasn’t willing to sit idly by and face death, nor would he willingly leave his fate in another’s hands.
