In this bizarre world, I can extract supernatural powers.

Cold sweat trickled down the forehead of the Yin Corpse Sect elder.

Although he was manipulating a corpse, his instincts made him feel cold all over, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

The attack... isn't enough?

Is this something someone at the fourth level of the Transcendent Realm could say?

A look of fear flashed in the eyes of the Yin Corpse Sect elder.

He had no idea what kind of person he had offended this time.

But he knew very well that this corpse was likely to perish today.

"Spare my life," the elder of the Yin Corpse Sect said through gritted teeth. "From now on, I will never target you again, and I will definitely avoid you whenever I see you."

At that moment, all he wanted was to live.

This corpse is the culmination of his life's work. If the corpse is destroyed, it will not only weaken his strength but also cause him to suffer a backlash.

Xu Bai raised an eyebrow slightly: "Ridiculous."

"What's so funny?" the elder of the Yin Corpse Sect asked instinctively.

Xu Bai placed his hand on the forehead of the Yin Corpse Sect elder, and the compressed true qi suddenly erupted.

"His initial arrogance followed by his obsequiousness is utterly laughable."

"Click!"

The head was shattered into pieces, along with the remaining half of the body, turning into ashes.

"Xu Bai!"

Before the corpse turned to ashes, it let out an angry roar.

"Our enmity is irreconcilable!"

"Just wait, I'll show you just how terrifying the wrath of the Corpse Sect truly is!"

Xu Bai lightly waved his sleeve and said calmly, "I'll be waiting for you."

The field was silent.

The battlefield, which had just been fiercely battled, was now deathly silent.

Xu Bai looked around, his eyes calm as still water.

It was as if he wasn't the one who had just been slaughtering everyone.

"It's time to go back."

Xu Bai approached the body of Constable Zhao, staring at the despair on the corpse's face, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Although another Yin Corpse Sect has emerged, the Heavenly Heart Sect Leader and Constable Zhao are dead, so the pressure is much less."

He didn't linger and headed towards Feng County.

The moonlight shone on Xu Bai, draping him in a layer of silver frost, highlighting the lingering murderous aura, making Xu Bai look like a demon walking among men.

……

Time flies, and several days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Feng County, the yamen (government office).

Just then, Constable Chen returned with a group of constables and found that a large number of constables had already gathered inside the yamen.

Constable Chen was slightly taken aback, then pushed through the crowd and came to the open space in the middle.

When he saw the situation on the open ground, a look of shock flashed across his eyes.

Several corpses were piled up on the open ground, each one badly mutilated.

Among them were the corpses of the leader of the Tianxin Sect and the head constable Zhao.

Despite the blurred face, Constable Chen could still recognize the other person's identity.

Not far away, Wang Dianli's face was ashen, like a volcano about to erupt.

Chief Constable Chen pulled aside one of the constables and whispered, "What happened?"

The constable leaned closer and said, "Officer Zhao colluded with the Heavenly Heart Sect and the Yin Corpse Sect to ambush Manager Xu on his way back from a mission to exorcise demons, and was killed by Manager Xu."

Officer Chen: "?"

A face full of question marks not only represents confusion, but also shock.

He had just led his men on a mission, but when he returned, everything had changed.

The amount of information in that sentence was so much that he couldn't even process it.

First of all, Manager Xu hadn't expected that he would join the Ghost Hunters.

After all, given Manager Xu's temperament, this was simply impossible.

Secondly, Officer Zhao actually dared to take action, and he even colluded with two evil sorcerers.

In the end, Manager Xu actually killed them all.

These are three experts at the fourth level of the Transcendent Realm.

Even if it were Constable Chen who encountered them, he would only be able to flee in panic.

"How did you discover the information?" Officer Chen asked.

He still hasn't realized what's happening.

The constable said with a wry smile, "Manager Xu had no intention of burying the body at all. He just told us when the authorities found out."

"In Manager Xu's words, hiding one's identity is a good thing, but since one is already deeply involved in the game, hiding any longer would be a bad thing."

Chief Constable Chen then asked, "What did Clerk Wang say?"

Given Xu Bai's personality, it wasn't exactly what Constable Chen expected that he would do something like this.

Officer Chen was well aware of Xu Bai's intentions.

Showing off your strength can actually reduce a lot of trouble.

But Wang Dianli's expression was really too strange.

The constable shook his head and said, "This humble servant does not know either. Lord Wang has been standing here for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."

During a brief pause in their conversation, Wang Dianli finally made a move.

His gloomy eyes swept over the crowd, as if they were icy cold as a deep pool.

"It is a disgrace for the government to have a traitor."

Wang Dianli sneered, "It's a good thing that the hunter who eliminated the traitor helped the yamen, but he went a bit too far."

The constables held their breath and remained silent.

Chen, the head constable, felt a sense of doubt, not understanding what Wang, the clerk, meant.

Wang Dianli continued, "The new emperor has established the position of inspector, and inspections will be conducted every three years. This inspection is coming soon."

"Feng County was originally very peaceful, but the emergence of a traitor in the government office will inevitably have an impact on the county magistrate."

Officer Chen looked enlightened, his palms sweating.

He understood what Wang Dianli meant.

During this period, a traitor emerged, and the arrival of the inspectors inevitably raised doubts about the magistrate's governance.

At that point, it might affect the county magistrate's career.

Wang Dianli took a deep breath and said, "The magistrate has ordered that Xu Bai be granted a plaque inscribed with 'The First Talent of Feng County,' as a special commendation."

Upon hearing this, a look of doubt appeared on Constable Chen's face again.

He could sense that Wang Dianli seemed to extremely dislike Xu Bai's actions.

But why is a plaque being bestowed again now, especially since it was given by the county magistrate?

Wang Dianli turned his gaze to Chen Butou and waved his sleeve, saying, "The plaque will be ready in three days. Since you and Xu Bai have a past relationship, you can deliver it."

Officer Chen snapped out of his daze, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Your subordinate obeys."

Although he didn't understand, Wang Dianli was his direct superior, and since the task had already been issued, he dared not disobey.

Without saying another word, Wang Dianli turned and walked towards the yamen.

Soon, the open space fell silent.

Several constables quickly stepped forward and collected the bodies from the ground.

While pondering the intentions behind Wang Dianli's actions, Constable Chen walked towards the room.

……

Inside the coffin shop.

Xu Bai sat in the rocking chair, took the tea from Zhao Erniu with his left hand, drank it all in one gulp, and then started playing with the waist token in his hand.

This journey yielded two hundred merits.

Even if one hundred of them were given to Ding Huan, he would still have one hundred and fifty merits.

These 150 merits can be exchanged for some items.

As the True Qi circulated, a light screen that only Xu Bai could see appeared, listing various items that could be exchanged.

This includes martial arts techniques, weapons, materials, and elixirs.

But for Xu Bai, these things were neither enjoyable to eat nor worth throwing away.

Xu Bai's gaze swept across the light screen and quickly locked onto something.

"This should be the cheapest monster I've ever seen."
