I relied on leveling up to achieve a comeback.

"What?"

Inside the Chen Family Martial Arts School, the disciples rushed forward one after another.

Senior Brother Liu Yong is a direct disciple of the Chen Family Martial Arts School and has long since reached the third level of cultivation.

It can be said that Liu Yong was a first-rate fighter in all three breakthroughs.

Such a person cannot be easily harmed, even by a fourth-level expert.

Inside the courtyard, Xu Hao also heard the shouts. He immediately stopped what he was doing and went forward.

A stretcher lay on the body of the eldest disciple, Liu Yong. Even now, blood seeped from his chest, staining his robes red.

"Quickly, go and fetch a doctor!" Tang Dengshan shouted as he rushed forward.

A doctor came in shortly after. After examining the injuries, he said to everyone, "The internal organs have been damaged. It will probably take several months of cultivation to recover!"

I'll prescribe some pills for him to take on time. With Lord Liu's physique, I believe he will recover!

only……"

"But what?" Tang Dengshan interjected.

"However, future training will be somewhat compromised, and it may damage the foundation of your martial arts!" the doctor said frankly.

"I understand!" Tang Dengshan waved his hand and asked someone to escort his senior brother Liu Yong into his room.

Xu Hao stood to the side, his brows slightly furrowed.

Although Liu Yong joined a security escort agency and was prone to injury while traveling all over the country, the fact that a third-level martial artist could suffer such severe injuries must mean that a fourth-level martial artist had intervened.

Logically speaking, all the four-level martial artists around Qinghe County are well-known and have their own names, in addition to the power and prestige of the Chen Family Martial Arts School some time ago.

Any martial artist with a reputation for breaking through to the fourth level will give the Chen Family Martial Arts School some face.

The only forces that can still intervene now are those who have a grudge against the Chen Family Martial Arts School.

It's not hard to imagine that this is related to the Longevity Cult.

"The Longevity Sect will make a move immediately?" Xu Hao looked at the backs of Tang Dengshan and the others, took a deep breath, and then returned to the central courtyard to begin his cultivation.

Boom boom boom.

Xu Hao clenched his fist, and his cultivation progress accelerated.

Another week later, Chen Changhe emerged from seclusion.

Xu Hao and the others were called into the backyard.

"Master!" Xu Hao, his second senior brother Zhao Heshan, Tang Dengshan and others bowed in unison.

Meanwhile, Chen Yinyin, standing to the side, asked expectantly, "Dad, how did it go? Did you break through?"

Chen Changhe shook his head. "Breaking through to the Strength Realm isn't that easy. However, although this seclusion didn't achieve the desired result, I've already seen the path ahead!"

"Congratulations, Master!"

Chen Changhe waved his hand, then asked in a deep voice, "I heard that your senior brother Liu Yong was attacked. Was the attacker a fourth-level martial artist?"

"Yes!" Tang Dengshan was the first to reply. "According to my senior brother, the other party may be from the same force as Liu Yunhe and others. They all have pills that can stimulate cultivation strength. At that time, the entire escort agency was besieged by this group of people."

"I understand!" Chen Changhe's expression hardened slightly. He seemed to have thought of something, and then instructed, "Qinghe County might not be peaceful recently. If you have nothing else to do, stay at the martial arts school and train diligently. I will investigate the situation!"

"yes!"

After asking a few more questions, Chen Changhe dismissed the group.

Xu Hao didn't ask any further questions; he had a high probability that the Changsheng Sect had made a move.

However, with the enemy in the shadows and him in the open, he couldn't just search aimlessly.

The best course of action now is to cultivate diligently and strive to break through to the fourth level of cultivation as soon as possible.

Xu Hao continued his cultivation.

Spending money like water.

Even the entire Chen Family Martial Arts School's Four-Break Medicine Powder was concentrated on supplying Xu Hao alone.

"How come you've used up so much energy?" This scene surprised Chen Changhe.

Because a person's physical condition determines their absorption rate.

Everyone has a limit.

However, Xu Hao's quantity far exceeded Chen Changhe's expectations.

Logically, he had checked Xu Hao's qualifications from the beginning, and they could only be described as below average.

It doesn't even reach the middle level.

But now, Xu Hao's cultivation speed and the intensity of his resource absorption far exceeded his expectations.

More importantly, Xu Hao absorbed so many cultivation resources, yet he remained full of energy.

"Maybe I'm just naturally suited for cultivation!" Xu Hao smiled awkwardly and made up a story on the spot.

He couldn't very well say that he had reached a terrifying level in all aspects, such as strength and stamina, by upgrading the panel!

"Cultivate diligently, and when you break through to the fourth level, I will bestow upon you great fortunes!" Chen Changhe patted Xu Hao's shoulder heavily, revealing a strange and inexplicable emotion.

"Yes!" Xu Hao nodded.

Chen Changhe comes from the prefectural city; he must have some hidden treasure.

Why not take advantage of a free lunch?

"Go and cultivate!" Chen Changhe inquired about Xu Hao's cultivation progress again before returning to the backyard.

In the following days, apart from going to the yamen for his daily duty, Xu Hao spent almost all his time cultivating.

Xu Hao even refused several of Xu Liu's attempts to arrange blind dates for him.

On this day, Xu Hao went to the yamen to report for duty as usual.

But as soon as he entered the yamen, he sensed that the atmosphere there was very somber.

Xu Hao quickened his pace and found Huang Guangming in the office of the yamen.

"What happened?" Xu Hao asked.

"Something terrible has happened!" Huang Guangming took a deep breath, his eyes darting around, and whispered, "Three days ago, several villages in Huilong Township, Qinghe County, were massacred!"

"What?" Xu Hao was startled.

A village massacre?

This is no ordinary murder!

This is an evil deed.

Great influence.

Huang Guangming sighed and said, "We received news earlier that there are some strange blood-red patterns in the village, which we initially determined to be the work of the Longevity Cult!"

"The Longevity Cult, they've become so rampant now? Shouldn't the government send troops to wipe them out?" Xu Hao said solemnly.

"These are turbulent times!" Huang Guangming took a deep breath. "I'm afraid we'll have to send out intelligence gathering teams! But now that the Eternal Life Cult has made its move, things will only get more dangerous."

"Yes, we need to think about this carefully!" Xu Hao nodded.

The Longevity Cult wreaked havoc in one region and caused chaos throughout the entire dynasty's territory, naturally possessing the ability to conceal itself.

Moreover, their brainwashing through cults, coupled with the dynasty's increasingly weak control, fostered even more believers.

"Assemble!" Just as Xu Hao was pondering, Constable Zhao Heshan shouted.

The group of constables quickly gathered together and stood ramrod straight.

Zhao Heshan's gaze swept over the group of constables, and he spoke directly, "The Changsheng Sect has committed numerous evils, and now it has even slaughtered the villages of Huilong Township, leaving a legacy of calamity. The county magistrate has already issued an order that it must be subdued."

Zhao Heshan paused for a moment, and after everyone had digested the information, he continued, "We have received news that the next target of the Changsheng Sect will be Ta Village in Huilong Township."

The magistrate has ordered us to go ahead and set up defenses around the area, holding off the remaining members of the Longevity Cult until the city guards arrive and wipe them out!

"Yes!" Xu Hao and the other constables exchanged glances and quickly agreed.

As the saying goes, "It takes a thousand days to raise an army, but only one day to use it."

I've been given twenty taels of silver every month; it's time to make my move!

Compared to the other constables' trepidation, Xu Hao was filled with excitement and anticipation.

Another upgrade is available!

Let the storm rage on!
