Comprehensive Network: Starting with Martial Artists to Stack Passive Skills

In the side hall of the yamen, Fang Qingyuan frowned as he looked at an old bronze plate on the table.

The bronze plate is engraved with the veins of mountains and rivers, and a jade needle in the center trembles slightly, pointing to the south of the city, which is the direction of the Yinluodao Altar (original).

His brows were furrowed, as if he was plotting something.

Suddenly, his hair stood on end, and he jerked his head up!

The palace doors opened silently, and a figure stood before them. The moonlight cast an extremely long shadow, and the lingering aura of bloodlust and the invisible yet heavy presence instantly put Fang Qingyuan on high alert.

"Director Fang, give me the Sealing Disc."

Fang Qingyuan gripped the hilt of his sword and said in a deep voice, "Who are you? This is a crucial weapon of the Evil Suppression Division, related to the stability of Jiangzhou's geomantic veins..."

"The Yin Luo Dao Master and your deputy director are both dead. I found this on them."

Lu Qingfeng interrupted him, tossing the copy of the ley line map he had found on Li Shiye onto the table. "It's time to put what you have to good use."

"Your Mightiness……"

Fang Qingyuan took a deep breath and pushed out the sealing plate. "This plate needs to be activated with pure spiritual power or righteous energy to stabilize the Yin energy in the earth's veins. I am willing to lend a hand."

Lu Qingfeng shook his head: "No need. You guard the yamen and clean up the remaining rebels."

He grasped the Sealing Disc, and with a slight infusion of spiritual power, the jade needles in the disc suddenly shone with a clear light, faintly echoing several Yin energy nodes in the city.

Seeing that it was usable, Lu Qingfeng had no more time for idle chatter and climbed out the window to leave.

Fang Qingyuan was stunned for a moment, then collapsed to the ground, touching his pants.

"Oh, it was urine. I thought it was sweat."

"I knew an enemy of this caliber couldn't possibly make me sweat."

After pausing for a moment, he immediately shouted, "Guards..."

Suddenly, a figure appeared behind him again, a long sword in hand aimed straight at his heart.

"Hungry……"

The powerful force instantly spread along the longsword, shattering his heart meridian.

Why...?

Fang Qingyuan asked, his eyes wide open in death.

That figure was naturally Lu Qingfeng.

"You still have the nerve to ask me why?"

Do you know him?

Lu Qingfeng threw out the token given to him by his master, "I don't know what role you played in this matter, but I have a feeling you're definitely not a good person."

"So, to eliminate any future trouble, I have no choice but to trouble you with your death."

"You...you fucking..."

"Still breathing? I told you you weren't normal. A normal person would have died from this kind of injury!"

Seeing that Fang Qingyuan might still have some trump cards up his sleeve, Lu Qingfeng didn't waste any words and used all his brute force to blast Fang Qingyuan into pieces of flesh and blood before leaving satisfied.

Ah, another day of eliminating threats ahead of time.

You have successfully killed...

On the other side:

Prefect Zhao Wenqian had already been alarmed by the fighting in the south of the city and was pacing anxiously in his study.

Qin Lie had not returned for a long time, and the spies he had sent out had also disappeared without a trace. His ominous premonition grew stronger.

"My lord! Something terrible has happened!"

A trusted aide scrambled in, shouting, "Someone's broken in! General Qin's entire force has been wiped out!"

Zhao Wenqian's face turned ashen. He suddenly pushed open the back window and saw a scarlet figure in the courtyard relentlessly slashing at his guards.

Wherever it went, people were cut down like straw.

"Stop him! A reward of a thousand taels of silver will be given!"

Zhao Wenqian screamed, but then shrank back towards the hidden door in the corner.

Lu Qingfeng didn't even glance at the guards rushing towards him.

Under the aura of the aura, the movements of these ordinary martial artists were significantly slower.

With a casual swing of the Qingfeng sword, figures fluttered and danced wherever the sword energy passed.

"Greedy for power and indulgent in evil, treating the people as your fuel... Do you deserve to sit in this government office? Answer me!"

Just as Zhao Wenqian touched the hidden door mechanism, a hand was already pressed against the back of his neck.

The icy power penetrated his body, instantly sealing off his vital energy.

"What role did you play in this incident? What were your intentions?"

Lu Qingfeng's voice rang in my ears.

Zhao Wenqian, tears streaming down his face, cried, "Hero, I'm innocent! It was Zhou Tong and Qin Lie who instigated this! I'm willing to offer up all my wealth..."

"You actually answered!"

"Family wealth? What use would I have for that?"

"And innocent? What about your mother?"

Lu Qingfeng asked no more questions, and with a burst of force from his fingertips, shattered the man's heart meridian.

…………

The sealing disc felt slightly warm in his arms, and the jade needles shone with a clear light, pointing towards the few remaining Yin energy nodes in the city.

Those were the remnants of Yinluo Dao in the city, and also all the people Lu Qingfeng sensed were connected to this event.

Killing them all one by one might result in wrongful convictions, but if you kill nine out of ten, there will definitely be some who escape.

Never mind, we'll just have to examine it carefully.

"This is so troublesome. Can't these lowly creatures just roll in front of me?"

[Purge: Incomplete]

Looking at the progress bar on the mission panel, Lu Qingfeng felt a deep sense of frustration and disappointment towards the remaining people in Jiangzhou City.

With his heart burning with rage, his movements quickened even further.

Inside a thatched hut, three outer disciples of the Yinluo Dao sect were counting the soul bags. The bags were filled with flickering, eerie green phosphorescent flames, containing the remnants of souls of the dying that had been snatched from the city's slums.

Lu Qingfeng burst through the top, his sword light cascading down like a waterfall.

"enemy--"

Before he could finish speaking, all three men had their throats pierced simultaneously.

[Kill 3 Yinluo Path disciples]

[Gaining experience points...]

In the old granary in the south of the city, this is the meeting point between the Black Tooth Gang and the Yinluo Road.

The warehouse was filled with goods wrapped in shrouds, all of which were young boys and girls used to make Yin puppets.

As Lu Qingfeng kicked open the iron gate, a deacon was casting a hand seal to activate an evil array, and blood-red patterns lit up on the ground.

"court death!"

The deacon grinned and flicked his sleeve, sending out seven poisoned bone nails.

Lu Qingfeng neither dodged nor evaded; his protective true energy surged, and the bone nail was shattered into dust upon impact with the air membrane.

With a single, sweeping motion, the Qingfeng Sword pierced the moon!

The sword energy, like a rainbow, pierced through the deacon's chest and continued its momentum, pinning the three gang members behind him to the wall.

The other deacon was horrified and tried to flee, but Lu Qingfeng's mind stirred slightly, and his aura, like an invisible cage, held him in place. Then, his sword turned and his head rolled off.

[Killed...]

[Gaining experience points...]

On the other side, in the Hall of Accumulated Good Deeds, this place is ostensibly a hall of good deeds, but in reality it is a stronghold where yamen runners and clerks colluding with Yinluo Dao select sacrificial offerings.

The person in charge was an old official with a fake smile who had dealt with illicit funds for Zhao Wenqian and whose hands were stained with the lives of seventeen children.

When Lu Qingfeng pushed open the door, the old clerk was facing the account book. He looked up and smiled obsequiously, "What are your orders, sir...?"

A flash of sword light.

The ledger and the head fell to the ground at the same time.

Two servants in the courtyard, who were aiding and abetting the evildoer, screamed and fled. Lu Qingfeng flicked his finger and shot out two bursts of energy, shattering their backs.

【…】

…………

After a busy night, Master Lu put away the sealing disc and did not linger there any longer.

He has swiftly eliminated several yin energy nodes within Jiangzhou City, bringing the ringleaders to justice and the remaining villains to their deaths.

He had no time to investigate the ensuing chaos and power vacuum, nor did he intend to get involved in the aftermath in the city.

"Master..."

He looked towards the direction of Yinxuan Temple, unsure of how to feel about his master in this life.

But no matter what, we still have to go back.

Before that, he had to pick up his junior brother. Although Jiangzhou City had already been thoroughly cleaned up by him, it was hard to guarantee that people's hearts were still unpredictable.

"puff!"

Lu Qingfeng broke open the inn's window and shouted to Xuan Ji inside, "Pack your things, we're leaving immediately. This journey is dangerous, stick close to me."

During the time his junior brother was tidying up, he quickly checked his own condition. The continuous fierce battle and the activation of the sealing disc had consumed a lot of energy, but his foundation was extremely solid, and he had recovered most of his combat power in a short period of time.

Before long, Xuanji picked up the small bundle he had prepared and hugged his longsword tightly.

Lu Qingfeng pushed open the window and was the first to rush out.

Xuanji followed closely behind. Although his movements were far less swift than his senior brother's, Lu Qingfeng immediately carried his junior brother back to the Taoist temple after discovering that his junior brother was holding him back.

They no longer concealed their tracks, taking advantage of the last darkness before dawn to accelerate to the maximum speed and rush towards the Yinxuan Temple.

The hustle and bustle and bloodshed in the city were quickly left behind by them.
