Overdraw the future and become a peerless martial god

Chapter 24 Inspector

As night fell, the lights in the constable camp illuminated the martial arts training ground in the courtyard.

Chu Ning walked slowly into the camp, his clothes still carrying the scent of sulfur from the Burning Flame Valley.

Although he killed Wang Li, obtained the Nine-Transformation Mysterious Yang Fruit, and unexpectedly got the Blue-Eyed Snow Fox, he was not too relaxed when he thought of the threat behind the Wang family.

As soon as he stepped into the constable camp, Li Jing'an walked out of the side hall with his hands behind his back. He glanced at Chu Ning sharply, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"How's it going? Did you catch the blue-eyed snow fox?"

Chu Ning paused, his expression unchanged, and said casually: "No, the Wang family's encirclement and suppression failed, and the monster escaped."

Li Jingan raised his eyebrows slightly and was about to speak when suddenly,
“Squeak—”

Chu Ning's clothes moved slightly, and a small white shadow poked its head out from his chest.

Li Jingan blinked.

I saw a furry little white fox lying lazily in Chu Ning's arms, rubbing its little head against his clothes, looking both delicate and cute.

The air was silent for a moment.

"..."

Li Jing'an looked at Chu Ning with a playful look, and said with a half-smile, "I can't believe you have such a cute little pet?"

The corner of Chu Ning's mouth twitched slightly. He looked down at the unsuspecting little white fox and felt helpless.

"It's just... an ordinary fox. I saw it was injured and saved it."

"Oh?" Li Jing'an sneered, walked slowly forward, and looked at the little white fox.

"You know what, this pink and tender one is really cute."

He stretched out his hand and wanted to touch the little creature with soft white fur.

However, as soon as his hand approached, the little white fox's green pupils suddenly shrank.

"Shh!"

It opened its mouth and bit Li Jingan's finger hard.

"hiss--"

Li Jingan took a breath and the smile on his face froze instantly.

He originally thought that this fox was just an ordinary spirit pet, but he didn't expect it to be so ferocious and bite him as soon as it attacked.

"You little bastard!"

Li Jingan widened his eyes and tried to shake it off.

However, the little white fox bit tightly and refused to let go.

Chu Ninglei suddenly pulled out his strength and quickly reached out to pull the little white fox back.

"Okay, let go."

He patted the little white fox's head.

The little white fox glared at Li Jing'an fiercely, as if it had determined that this guy had "evil intentions", and then reluctantly opened its mouth.

Li Jing'an shook his hands and looked at the clear teeth marks on his fingertips, suddenly speechless.

"You're such a vicious biter, fox. Perhaps you've inherited your master's temperament?"

Chu Ning coughed lightly and stuffed the little white fox into his arms.

"By the way, how is the investigation into the massacre of a grain merchant in West City going?" Chu Ning restrained his smile and asked seriously.

Li Jing'an rubbed his bitten hand, frowning slightly. "Something's not right... We found traces of the Blood Refining Hall at the crime scene. The red blood sand mixed in the granary suggests a possible connection to some special force. But strangely, the method used to exterminate the entire family doesn't seem like the Blood Refining Hall's usual method. It seems more like... some kind of targeted revenge."

"Targeted retaliation?"

Chu Ning lowered his head in thought.

The Blood Refining Hall is known for its cruel methods and usually does not care about the means. If this time is not like their usual style, it means that the real mastermind behind the scenes is someone else.

"Someone wants to use the name of the Blood Refining Hall as a cover?"

Li Jing'an nodded. "This is just my speculation, but this case is too complicated and I haven't found any conclusive evidence yet."

Chu Ning nodded slightly, seemingly thinking about something.

"It's you."

Li Jing'an suddenly stared at Chu Ning, looked him up and down, and sniffed the air.

"You smell so strongly of blood and sulfur. You must have gotten into some serious trouble, right?" Chu Ning touched his nose, lowered his voice, and whispered in Li Jing'an's ear, "I killed all the Wang family's hunting team."

"..."

The smile on Li Jingan's face froze instantly.

He turned his head suddenly, his eyes wide open, and looked at Chu Ning in disbelief.

"What did you say?"

Chu Ning spread his hands, looking innocent: "The Wang family's hunting team was completely wiped out."

The corner of Li Jing'an's mouth twitched slightly. He knew Chu Ning's fighting ability was amazing, but...

There are several entry-level warriors in the hunting team, and even Wang Li is in charge. How could they be wiped out by Chu Ning alone?
"You kid, your cultivation is only at the middle level of the tenth rank, how could you actually do such a thing?"

Li Jing'an felt his scalp tingling, and he felt more and more that Chu Ning was not a normal person.

"What about Wang Li?"

Chu Ning smiled slightly, slowly stretched out his hand, and gently wiped his neck.

The air fell silent for a moment.

Li Jing'an looked at Chu Ning deeply, as if he saw a monster.

After a moment, he suddenly pinched his brows and said with a wry smile, "I knew that the ancestor of the Wang family was about to come out of seclusion."

"He will definitely come looking for you."

Chu Ning shrugged, not caring at all: "That's perfect, I don't plan to let him go."

Upon hearing this, Li Jing'an looked at Chu Ning deeply.

"You don't know how powerful the Wang family's ancestors are. I have to be polite to them whenever I see them."

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes: "Are you afraid? Aren't you a first-class warrior?"

"First rank?" Li Jing'an's face froze, and he snorted coldly, "What if I say that the original owner of this bell is worthy of being called a first rank?"

He flicked the black bell on his waist with his fingertips, and it made a crisp sound like bones breaking.

Chu Ning said as a matter of course: "Our Lei Pavilion Master said that you are a first-class warrior."

Li Jing'an sneered, "What does Lei Wanjun know? Not all warriors in the First-Rank Pavilion are first-rank warriors. I'm just an inspector... If I were truly a first-rank warrior, would I come to a small place like this to investigate a case?"

Chu Ning frowned slightly, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"Inspector? Then what rank are you?"

Li Jing'an did not answer, but just smiled indifferently, then slowly untied a small black bell from his waist and handed it to Chu Ning.

"Take it and feel it again."

The moment Chu Ning took the small bell.

"boom!"

Endless pressure erupted like a mountain torrent, instantly sweeping over Chu Ning's whole body.

His face suddenly changed, and he seemed to be sinking into the sea. An irresistible force instantly made his body freeze.

"This... the pressure from a fifth-rank warrior?!"

Chu Ning's pupils shrank sharply, and a huge wave of emotion rose in his heart.

His breathing suddenly stagnated, and his fingers even trembled slightly. The pressure from the fifth-grade warrior was far beyond his imagination, as if the air between heaven and earth had solidified at this moment.

But the next moment, the pressure suddenly dissipated, like the tide receding, and everything returned to calm.

Chu Ning took a deep breath and calmed himself down, only to find that he was still standing steadily in the same place, and the bell in his hand was still silent, as if everything just now was just an illusion.

Li Jing'an looked at him with a faint smile on his lips, as if he had anticipated Chu Ning's reaction.

"This thing is called 'Xu Ling Ling', it can conceal aura and cultivation." Li Jing'an's tone was flat, but there was a hint of depth in his eyes.

Chu Ning looked down at the small and simple bell in his hand. It was pitch black, with complex and mysterious patterns engraved on its surface, emitting a faint cold light.

He gently brushed the bell with his fingertips and faintly felt a strange energy fluctuation, as if some invisible force was enveloping the bell.

However, when his fingertips touched the bell, his heart suddenly trembled.

This material...

"It's actually somewhat similar to the Hunyuan Divine Order?"
