Becoming a Saint Starts with Copying Martial Arts

Chapter 148 Promotion to Deacon, Night Hunt

The sky is bright.

The turmoil subsided completely last night, and many key members of the Luo family were escorted to the dungeon.

The following day, the Soul Suppression Division and the government announced to the entire city that the Luo family had colluded with the Yin Yuan Sect and were sentenced to have their property confiscated and their clan exterminated. At the same time, Tan Yuchun, one of the three protectors of the Yin Yuan Sect, had been beheaded.

The city was in an uproar, and people in every street and alley were talking about it, with most applauding.

"The Luo family has been bullying us for years, and they've finally been punished!"

"Yes, my granddaughter was forcibly bought into the Luo family as a maid and was whipped to death by the Luo family. Now that the Luo family has fallen, I am willing to die."

"The Luo family should have been wiped out long ago; the Soul Suppression Division has done another great deed!"

Luo Wandeng was extremely stingy and exploited the people, earning him a notorious reputation. Luo Tai was arrogant and domineering, running rampant in the prefectural city. The father and son had long been infamous among the people.

at this time.

Inside the Soul Suppressing Division, news of Lin Qing's killing of Tan Yuchun spread rapidly, shocking many people.

"Tan Yuchun was one of the top experts in the prefecture, second only to a few Yuan Gang martial artists like Chief Envoy Yang. How could he have died at the hands of Chief Lin?"

"Lord Lin possesses such combat prowess at such a young age; he is truly a role model for us all!"

"Lord Lin's talent ranks among the top five in the entire history of the prefecture, which is truly enviable."

Inside the Soul Suppression Division, many officers were also discussing it privately.

At this moment, Lin Qing was attending a meeting chaired by Yang Chenglu, along with many deacons and chief officials.

"Lin Qing, well done! That bastard Tan Yuchun is my mortal enemy. I've suffered a lot at his hands. Now you've really helped me get revenge!" Zhu Mingtong laughed heartily.

"Truly, heroes emerge from among the young. The last one to surprise me was Lord Wang Ling, who was also incredibly strong at such a young age!"

"In terms of talent alone, I think Lin Qing is even better than Wang Ling!" Qiu Changming laughed.

"This is a good thing; our Soul Suppression Division is becoming more and more prosperous."

At this time, the meeting had not yet officially started. Everyone was sitting in their chairs, drinking tea and chatting.

Just as they were having a great time chatting, Yang Chenglu arrived, and everyone immediately fell silent.

"Last night, the Luo family was destroyed, and Lin Qing deserves the greatest credit. He not only personally killed the Luo family father and son, but also killed Tan Yuchun. His strength is sufficient to serve as a steward. Does anyone have any different opinions?" Yang Chenglu acted decisively, getting straight to the point as soon as he sat down.

Everyone remained silent, indicating their agreement.

"Very well, from today onwards, our Soul Suppression Division will establish a ninth Grand Steward, to be held by Lin Qing, who will be able to participate in all important decisions of the Soul Suppression Division." Yang Chenglu made up his mind immediately after seeing that no one objected.

"Thank you very much, General Yang!" Lin Qing said symbolically, expressing his gratitude.

Yang Chenglu didn't say much and immediately changed the subject to other matters.

"Although the Luo family has been destroyed, it has only weakened the Yin Yuan Sect's power within the city. Our crisis is not over yet. Intelligence indicates that the Devouring Spirit Demon has possessed a young man and is currently in the city. He is constantly absorbing the blood and energy of powerful individuals to strengthen himself. According to past patterns, such demons grow extremely fast. In less than a month, no, half a month, he will become an existence that we cannot contend with, causing devastation to the city. Therefore, from today onwards, everyone must take action and locate him as quickly as possible to nip the danger in the bud."

Yang Chenglu's face was solemn, and his extremely authoritative voice echoed in the room. Upon hearing these words, many people's expressions changed, because every time an evil spirit descended, it could lead to the extinction of all life in a prefecture.

"But before that, there is one more thing to do. I have confirmed that the Yin Yuan Sect Master, Sima Yi, is currently hiding in Yuanshan Town outside the city. If this person is not eliminated, the prefecture city will never be able to maintain its stability. Within three days, I will join forces with the city guards and the major forces in the prefecture city to surround Yuanshan Town and kill that villain!" Yang Chenglu said loudly again.

Everyone nodded slightly, their faces solemn, as they considered how to respond.

The Devouring Spirit Demon brought immense pressure to everyone, as if a sharp sword was hanging over their heads.

"Do you all have any other suggestions?" Yang Chenglu asked again.

"Lord Yang, I wonder if any powerful figures from the Soul Suppression Division of Shu will arrive? The Devouring Spirit Demon will grow very quickly, so we must make two preparations," Qiu Changming said loudly.

"There's no need to worry about this. I've already reported it to the Soul Suppression Division in Shu, and experts are on their way," Yang Chenglu replied.

"That's good." Qiu Changming nodded and said no more.

The group discussed their strategy in detail before departing to prepare for the attack on Yuanshan Town a few days later.

..

at this time.

The news of the Luo family's destruction and Tan Yuchun's murder also reached the ears of the Yin Yuan Sect members.

"Useless! The Luo family father and son are useless! Tan Yuchun is also useless! How could he die at the hands of a young man? I knew he was no good!" In the attic, Deng Qianyu sat on a chair, her fair and slender legs crossed, cursing incessantly.

Ma Meng, standing to the side, remained silent, slowly wiping the sickle in his hand with a handkerchief.

Sima Yi, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them upon hearing Deng Qianyu's words and said coldly, "Shut up!"

Deng Qianyu was startled and hurriedly shut her mouth.

"Sir, what do we do now?"

"Wait, from today onwards, no one is allowed to take any action within the city. We only need to wait for the Devouring Spirit Demon to grow stronger. At that time, the city will be in chaos. Once the Soul Suppression Division and many martial artists in the city are almost dead, we will make our move!" Sima Yi said in a deep voice.

Deng Qianyu nodded slightly: "Then what should we do with Lin Qing?"

"This brat has ruined my plans many times. I will kill him myself. You don't need to get involved!" Sima Yi said in a deep voice.

"Understood!" Deng Qianyu and the other person both nodded.

into the night.

A group of constables were patrolling a small alley in the prefectural city when suddenly, a thin boy emerged from the shadows of a corner of the wall ahead.

"Hey, what are you doing running around like that in the middle of the night? Are you looking for trouble?!"

"Whose brat are you?" a constable shouted.

:

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the boy suddenly opened his mouth and inhaled. Six of the eight constables died on the spot, their bodies turning into dried corpses. The other two, although not dead, lost a great deal of their vital energy and blood, and could not even stand steadily.

"It's an evil spirit!"

Someone exclaimed, and he was about to shout back when the boy rushed in front of him, reached out and grabbed his neck, suddenly lifting him high into the air.

Only when they were so close could the man see the boy's appearance clearly. He had delicate features, but his eyes had a bluish-green tint that sent chills down one's spine.

"die!"

Click!

With the sound of bones cracking, the burly man's head lolled to the side, and he died. The boy opened his mouth and inhaled, turning the burly man into a dried-up corpse.

The last person was so frightened that he turned around and scrambled away.

"So delicious! As expected, the stronger the martial artist, the more intoxicating they are." The young man's face showed an expression of ecstasy.

He suddenly flashed and caught up with the fleeing constable from behind. He reached out and grabbed him, piercing his body through his back and ripping out his heart.

The latter's shouts stopped abruptly, and he fell forward to the ground.

"Continue, I'm going to have a good time tonight!" The young man's lips curled up slightly. He opened his mouth and sucked out the last constable's life force. Then he leaped and disappeared into the night.
