Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint

"No wonder Bai Luoyu asked me for help!"

"The situation in Baisha County is actually this dire!!"

Seeing the scene before him, Jiang Ning knew that Baisha County was truly in big trouble.

The aura belonging to the Blood and Flesh God enveloped the entire city, indicating that Baisha County had become the headquarters of the God Worship Sect.

The next moment.

Relying on the Heavenly Eye, he scanned the entire city, quickly finding Bai Luoyu's location and locking onto his direction.

Then, he took a step forward and instantly disappeared from the city wall.

Below.

A few city guard soldiers, due to the recent outcry, discovered Jiang Ning, only to see him suddenly disappear from their sight.

Seeing this.

A soldier immediately widened his eyes in disbelief, then rubbed his eyes hard.

Then they looked at each other, puzzled.

...

On the other side.

A brightly lit basement.

The Blood Pool was slowly churning.

Strange patterns extended from the Blood Pool, spreading in all directions and disappearing into the unlit darkness.

Several people stood around the Blood Pool.

"Three Divine Envoys, now that Bai Luoyu has arrived in Baisha County, how should we handle him? Should we kill him, or...?"

A giant about one zhang tall slowly spoke.

The giant's body was black-purple in color, with blood vessels like black earthworms spreading across his body.

His fierce appearance surely had the effect of making a child cry.

As the man spoke.

Out of the three people in the lead, a man in a yellow robe said.

"Gentlemen, I have heard that any Patrol Envoy has a miraculous tool for communication over a thousand miles. If we are to act against him, we must swiftly kill him, not giving him any chance to communicate and notify others."

"If he manages to send out a message and Zhao Yulong comes, our carefully planned sacrifices will be all in vain!"

"If the sacrifice in Baisha County is successful, the God's gift will be enough to grant us power comparable to that of a Grandmaster!"

Saying this, the man in the yellow robe's eyes shone brightly.

Though the sacrifice of Baisha County cannot truly achieve Grandmaster status.

According to divine revelation, sacrificing the lives of a city.

The gift from the God will allow them to match a Grandmaster with their physical bodies.

It was this divine revelation that gave the three Divine Envoys the audacity.

At this moment.

The other two Divine Envoys heard the words of the Mountain God Envoy, and a woman in a green bustier and long skirt spoke.

"He must be killed!"

The woman's eyes gleamed fiercely as she continued, "Because of the arrays underground, the abnormalities in Baisha County are already very obvious!"

"Now that Master Bai has come here in person, I imagine he has already realized that something is wrong in Baisha County."

"To prevent any accidents, I have just bewitched County Magistrate Deng to block the way, using the disappearance of his subordinates as an excuse to invite him here!"

When the other two Divine Envoys heard this.

A man in a fiery red robe raised his hand and gave a thumbs up.

"Well done, Lin!"

"With County Magistrate Deng here, I believe that Master Bai will be hard-pressed to escape alive."

...

In the backyard.

Bai Luoyu washed up unhurriedly.

Gurgling—

He rinsed his mouth and spat out the clear water.

Just then.

He suddenly felt a breeze behind him, and a figure appeared on the ground.

His heart tightened instantly, and he quickly turned around.

"Brother Bai, it's me!" Jiang Ning looked at Bai Luoyu, who had turned his head with a solemn expression, and smiled faintly.

"Brother Jiang!!!" Bai Luoyu's eyes widened, as if a mortal had seen a god.

His eyes were filled with horror, disbelief, and other emotions.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Ning smiled slightly.

The other four people in the backyard suddenly became extremely wary.

Because they felt a breeze hit their faces, and a figure appeared in their sight.

When they saw who it was, their originally tense bodies relaxed instantly.

Because it was Jiang Ning, whom they recognized.

After that, they were filled with deep confusion.

Just a moment ago, they heard their master say he had sent out a request for help.

The request was sent to Jiang Ning and Zhao Yulong, the Grandmaster.

And now, how long has it been?

Unexpectably, Jiang Ning was now in their midst.

At the same time.

Bai Luoyu slowly came to his senses.

He wiped the water off the corner of his mouth.

"Brother Jiang, why are you here?"

"Wasn't it you, Brother Bai, who sent the request for help?" Jiang Ning asked, then answered, "I received Brother Bai's request for help, so I came!"

"No!!" Bai Luoyu shook his head repeatedly and continued, "Dongling City is two days and nights away from Baisha County, even if I travel nonstop."

"How long has it been since I sent the request for help?"

"How did you get here so quickly, Brother Jiang?"

Saying this, Bai Luoyu looked at Jiang Ning suspiciously, as if he had thought of something, and his eyes suddenly changed slightly.

Seeing this, Jiang Ning couldn't help but be speechless.

Seeing the change in Bai Luoyu's eyes, how could he not understand that Bai Luoyu was beginning to suspect him?

Suspecting his identity.

Thinking this.

He looked up at the Great Sun above.

It was currently si hour, with the blazing sun high in the sky, making the ground scorching hot.

"Brother Bai, please watch!" Jiang Ning exclaimed.

Then he took a breath toward the Great Sun above his head.

In an instant.

A strand of red glow descended from the sky, quickly passed through the air, and plunged into Jiang Ning's nostrils.

Seeing this scene, Bai Luoyu's eyes widened.

This was the phenomenon of breathing and releasing the Essence of the Great Sun in the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill, which was the same as the Immortal Root, allowing him to see certain energies that ordinary people couldn't see.

He suddenly realized that the person in front of him was indeed the true Jiang Ning.

Because those who possess the Immortal Root are few in this world.

Simultaneously possessing an Immortal Root and practicing the Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill is even rarer.

So there was no doubt that the man in front of him was indeed Jiang Ning.

Realizing this, Bai Luoyu couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

Because Jiang Ning's appearance just now was truly mysterious.

Until then, he hadn't noticed anything.

This meant that the strength of the visitor was far beyond his own.

If the visitor was not Jiang Ning, then there was no doubt that he was an enemy.

An existence far superior to him, if an enemy, would mean his brilliant life would probably end here.

"Brother Jiang, how did you get here so quickly after I just sent out the message for help?" Bai Luoyu asked the question in his mind.

Hearing this.

The other four people in the yard perked up their ears.

Jiang Ning said, "It's very simple! Because I happened to be in Baisha County when I received Brother Bai's call for help, so I appeared before Brother Bai."

"What a coincidence!!" A trace of joy appeared in Bai Luoyu's eyes.

He might not know Jiang Ning's exact strength now, but he knew Jiang Ning's strength was far above his own.

And by quite a margin.

Because Jiang Ning had already entered the Fourth Grade long ago.

Not to mention his much higher level.

Because if he were to clash with Jiang Ning, he felt he would be defeated within three moves.

Now with such a powerful helper, the pressure in his heart was greatly reduced.

Then.

Bai Luoyu said, "Brother Jiang, do you know why I asked for help?"

"I have some idea!" Jiang Ning nodded, "I received the request from Brother Bai when I arrived in Baisha County and came to you immediately."

After a moment.

After hearing Bai Luoyu's entire explanation, Jiang Ning fully understood.

"Brother Bai, just follow your own plan, and with me following, there won't be any problems!"

"Since Brother Jiang is this confident, we'll follow your lead!" Bai Luoyu said.

Then, he started explaining to Jiang Ning the sequence of events.

A moment later.

The situation fully explained, Jiang Ning was also completely clear.

"Brother Bai, you can follow their scheme, and I'll be behind you so nothing will go wrong!"

"Since you are so confident, Brother Jiang, we'll do as you say!"

Just then, Deng Fei, the County Magistrate, opened the small back gate of the courtyard.

His voice boomed as he spoke, "Master Bai, haven't you finished washing up yet?"

"Who is this man, Master Bai?"

"I am one of the Envoy's subordinates!" Jiang Ning said.

"Oh! So you're with Master Bai!" Deng Fei said, in his usual booming voice.

"Master Bai, shall we go?" Deng Fei asked again.

"Lead the way, County Magistrate Deng!" Bai Luoyu said.
