I relied on leveling up to achieve a comeback.

Next, Xu Hao continued to wander through the mountains and forests, attracting the attention of the Longevity Cult.

This is not the main battlefield, so the strongest person led by the Changsheng Sect is only a second-level martial artist.

But for Xu Hao, such a strong lineup would be nothing more than easy prey.

You have killed a valuable creature and gained 2,000 experience points.

Your level has increased. You have gained free attribute points.

Xu Hao withdrew his fist, looked at the villains of the Longevity Cult who were chasing him, and began to clean up the battlefield.

The followers of the Longevity Cult were not particularly wealthy, but they were better off than normal people, so he could earn a considerable amount of money from a single cleaning job.

Xu Hao even obtained a sword technique, the Art of Drawing the Sword.

This is purely a technique.

You only need to practice one move; the rest depends entirely on your proficiency and personal attributes.

The higher the proficiency and the better the personal attributes, the stronger the power will be.

Xu Hao glanced at it, then picked up the longsword of the Changsheng Sect member and began to cultivate.

The art of drawing a sword is very simple; you can learn it in no time.

Xu Hao even used it against the enemy.

With Xu Hao's hunt, the number of Changsheng Sect followers in this area was almost completely wiped out.

"That's enough!" Xu Hao looked at the increasingly bright sky and decided to stop.

Experience points can never be fully harvested.

Moreover, judging by the time, the battle in the Blackwater Swamp should have been decided.

He couldn't wait for the Changsheng Sect to turn around and deal with him.

He almost wiped out the Changsheng Sect's entire operation in the lower reaches of the Blackwater River.

If they stay, even the slightest bit of evidence will be enough to trigger the Changsheng Sect's attack.

Even the Cui family alone couldn't stand up to him, let alone him.

He's alright on his own, but he still has his mother, and he still has to practice martial arts at the Chen Family Martial Arts School.

So, it's time to go!

Xu Hao glanced in the direction of the Blackwater Swamp, and opened the game panel as he ran towards Qinghe County.

"I've reached level sixty and have twelve attribute points!" Xu Hao grinned.

Although we didn't get the biggest reward this time, it was still considerable.

Twelve attribute points can further enhance his personal attributes.

In addition, their skills and techniques have been greatly improved through combat.

It can even increase the amount of improvement compared to cultivating on one's own.

After reviewing the information, Xu Hao quickened his pace and took the opportunity to practice the Swift Wind Step.

It takes most of the day to reach the Blackwater Marshland from Qinghe County by waterway, but by land, a detour is required, which takes even longer.

In addition, Xu Hao's killing of the Changsheng Sect members in the lower reaches of the Blackwater River took up a lot of time.

Therefore, by the time Xu Hao arrived at Qinghe, it was already close to evening.

Xu Hao didn't delay and went straight to the house in the eastern suburbs.

Upon seeing Xu Liu Shi, Xu Hao immediately said, "Mother, let's go stay in the county town for a few days!"

"Huh?" Xu Liushi was taken aback, somewhat confused.

"Qinghe County has been rather unsettled lately, so let's go to the city for a few days!" Xu Hao said without explanation, and began packing his valuables.

Who knows what the outcome will be? Going to the county town first is the best option.

Even if the Eternal Life Cult is powerful, it wouldn't dare to attack the city.

But small-scale assassinations are unstoppable.

"Alright!" Seeing Xu Hao's solemn expression, Madam Xu did not press further.

Before long, the two packed their belongings and headed straight for the inner city of Qinghe County.

Xu Hao found a luxurious inn.

"Mother, you rest first, I'll go out and find out what's going on!" Xu Hao instructed before leaving the inn and heading straight for the Chen Family Martial Arts School.

The outer courtyard of the Chen Family Martial Arts School was still bustling with activity, as many disciples were practicing their boxing and meditation.

When they saw Xu Hao approaching, many of them immediately showed strange expressions.

"Xu Hao is back!"

"What good luck! I heard that the Cui family suffered a heavy attack from the Longevity Sect, with many second-stage martial artists dying!"

Hearing the discussions around him, Xu Hao crossed the outer courtyard and came to the middle courtyard.

He discovered that the Central Academy didn't have a single disciple.

You should know that no matter what happens, there should always be someone at the Intermediate People's Court.

Even Chen Yinyin isn't here now.

Xu Hao asked around and learned that all the martial artists from the Central Academy had gone back to their respective homes, and even Chen Yinyin had gone out on business.

"Where is the owner?" Xu Hao asked finally.

"The sect leader left yesterday!" said a disciple from the outer court.

"You left yesterday?" Xu Hao was taken aback.

He rolled his eyes and lingered at the martial arts school for a while. After not finding any of his fellow disciples from the middle academy who had returned, he went to the largest restaurant in Qinghe County.

The quickest place to gather intelligence these days is this place where all sorts of people come together.

Xu Hao entered Zuixianlou, ordered a meal and drinks, sat down in the hall, and listened attentively.

This is the time when customer traffic is at its highest and when news spreads most frequently.

"The Cui family has fallen. Although they repelled the Longevity Sect this time, they suffered heavy losses!"

"Yes, the compensation for the death of a martial artist alone can bankrupt a family."

"I heard that it was Miss Cui who made the arrangements this time, and that she got the fourth-level expert from the county to take action. Otherwise, many people wouldn't have made it back at all!"

Xu Hao was taken aback when he heard the crucial news.

Did Cui Jiasheng win?

When he left, the Cui family was like drowning dogs, almost completely wiped out in the Blackwater Swamp.

I never expected we'd win in the end!

Based on the words he was hearing, and the fact that he had just learned that Chen Changhe, the head of the Chen Family Martial Arts School, had left the school yesterday, he could see the situation clearly.

It seems that the Cui family also has some trump cards up their sleeve.

However, there are too many undercover agents and the losses of martial artists are too severe. The compensation for each martial artist's death would likely be a substantial sum.

call.

Xu Hao breathed a sigh of relief upon learning the final result.

As long as the Changsheng Cult doesn't win, that would be the best outcome.

In this way, someone like him who escaped from the Blackwater Swamp would not become the first target of the Eternal Life Cult's revenge.

More importantly, if the Cui family still exists, then the financial assistance he previously agreed upon with Miss Cui can still be fulfilled.

That's a fortune!

Xu Hao relaxed and began to enjoy the delicious food on the table.

After he had eaten and drunk his fill, he ordered another table of delicious dishes and took them back to the inn.

"Why are you wasting money again? I can't eat that much!" Xu Liushi looked at the table full of delicious food and immediately complained about Xu Hao's wasteful spending.

However, when she ate, Xu Liushi had a face full of happiness.

Xu Hao slept relatively soundly that night, but the entire Qinghe County was far from peaceful, with undercurrents surging beneath the surface.
