I relied on leveling up to achieve a comeback.

Xu Hao was overjoyed.

With so much money, he can buy some more cultivation resources.

As for the other captured women, he simply told them to stay put and continued to plunder the Changsheng Sect's property.

Zhao Heshan and his men, who were lying in ambush outside, immediately gave the order to attack when they saw the many members of the Changsheng Sect scattering and fleeing.

"Kill them, but be careful to leave some alive!" Zhao Heshan took the lead.

Whoosh whoosh.

The crossbow bolts flew and landed on the members of the Longevity Cult.

Some people with weak cultivation levels died instantly.

Even martial artists who have broken through to a higher realm possess strong defensive capabilities and can still barely put up a fight.

However, because Zhao Heshan and the others were prepared in advance, and they were frightened by Xu Hao, they dared not stay long and were focused on escaping.

This greatly increases the damage caused by crossbow bolts.

"Charge out!" the members of the Longevity Cult roared.

But Zhao Heshan and his group didn't give them a chance at all.

The constables who were able to go out on missions were all martial artists supported by Qinghe County, and they were far more powerful than ordinary constables who maintained public order.

Even if warriors from the Longevity Sect rushed in front of Zhao Heshan and his group, they were no match for them.

Boom boom boom.

Before long, Zhao Heshan and his group had gathered all the members of the Changsheng Sect.

"Tell me, what happened?" An interrogator immediately began questioning.

"Xu Hao single-handedly destroyed this stronghold?"

"No way, this isn't like a ring fight; you can have one-on-one battles here."

When Zhao Heshan and the others learned of the situation, they were all shocked.

One person stormed into the Changsheng Sect's stronghold and launched a fierce attack, causing the Changsheng Sect members to scatter and flee.

With this level of combat strength, no one in the entire Qinghe County could do it!

"Squad leader, is your Junior Brother Xu really only at the third breakthrough stage of cultivation, and not some big shot at the Strength Realm?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Heshan could only manage a wry smile.

He doesn't know either!

He simply thought that Xu Hao would rush in and disrupt the Changsheng Sect's plans, so that they could take advantage of the situation.

As a result, they weren't even needed; Xu Hao single-handedly destroyed the stronghold.

If he hadn't watched Xu Hao cultivate from scratch, he would have suspected that Xu Hao was actually a master of the Strength Realm and had been pretending to be weak all along.

"Let's go in and take a look!" Zhao Heshan took a deep breath and gave the order.

Immediately, Zhao Heshan took the lead.

The other constables exchanged glances and then rushed in after them.

There were only two interrogators in the room, still pressing the members of the Changsheng Sect in hopes of extracting more useful information.

Inside the stronghold, after Xu Hao finished cleaning up the battlefield, he gathered the remaining women who were still alive together and then revealed his identity.

These people were all villagers from the surrounding area who had been abducted by the Changsheng Sect. Now that they learned they had been rescued, they immediately burst into tears of excitement.

This cleanup work is really beyond his capabilities!

"Please wait a moment, the yamen will send someone in soon!" Xu Hao said briefly, then retreated back into the Changsheng Sect's shed.

He threw the corpses out, cleared a space, and immediately opened his personal attribute panel.

This time, quite a few red-named players were killed.

Even those who have reached the fourth level of martial arts mastery are included.

Although the amount increases with each subsequent level, it should be possible to advance several levels.

Sword Drawing Skill [Minor Mastery 1385/2000, Trait: Armor Penetration +13]

Body Tempering Fourth Breakthrough, 3898/5000

Achievements: None; Backpack: 10 cubic meters.

"Another eight levels have been gained, which means eight free attribute points!"

Xu Hao grinned.

With so many, his strength will increase significantly again.

Because the further you progress, the addition of a single point of freedom will lead to a qualitative change.

Xu Hao only considered it for a moment before he added the attribute enhancement.

Strength +3, Stamina +3, Agility +2

In an instant, a surge of immense energy spread through his body.

Boom boom boom.

It is so powerful that the Qi and blood flow throughout the body, eventually returning to all parts of the body.

Xu Hao quickly opened his eyes.

He couldn't help but clench his fist.

The immense power made him feel as if there was a huge mountain in front of him, which he could shake with a single punch!

With this level of power, Xu Hao felt that he could defeat even a true expert in the Force Realm!

"I really want to see a true expert at the Qi Refining Realm!"

Xu Hao took a deep breath and began to adapt to the changes in his own power.

Just as Xu Hao had settled in for a while, he heard the voices of Zhao Heshan and others outside.

"Junior Brother Xu!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Hao immediately stood up and walked out of the dilapidated shed.

"Junior Brother Xu, you have done a great service!" Zhao Heshan walked over happily and couldn't help but pat Xu Hao on the shoulder.

"To the best of our ability!" Xu Hao replied with a smile, then pointed to the women outside, "These should be kidnapped by the Longevity Sect. As for whether there are any others mixed in, we need to investigate carefully!"

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!" Zhao Heshan nodded.

He knows all about these things perfectly well!

Next, Xu Hao handed it over to Zhao Changhe and the others, while he chose an open space and began to adapt to the growth of his own power.

After a long while, Zhao Heshan came to the side and quietly looked at Xu Hao.

Xu Hao stopped practicing his fist techniques after a short while.

Zhao Heshan gave a look, then walked towards the shallow beach beside the reeds.

Xu Hao understood and followed.

"Junior Brother Xu, we're in big trouble!" After confirming that no one was around, Zhao Heshan cut to the chase.

A hint of worry was visible on his face.

Xu Hao asked, "What's wrong? Did you find out some important intelligence?"

"We just interrogated the members of the Changsheng Sect!" Zhao Heshan took a deep breath and continued, "This stronghold is intended to disrupt the order of Huilong Township, attract the attention of Qinghe County, and divert the overall strength of Qinghe County."

This shows that the Changsheng Sect intends to attack Qinghe County!

"Does the Longevity Cult have this capability?" Xu Hao asked.

He had actually guessed it long ago.

First came the Cui family's fishpond, followed by the surrounding villages.

The evil methods of the Longevity Cult, such as condensing blood pills, forced them to do even more evil things.

Because if a person wants to cultivate to a high level, it requires a huge price to pay, including money, energy, and time.

Even if you spend the money, success is not guaranteed.

For example, the Three Breakthroughs in Bone Training; if one fails to master it, the entire martial arts path will be destroyed.

However, the practice of consuming blood pills, as practiced by the Longevity Sect, is a shortcut.

Having seen the quick money, who can still quietly work and earn money?

Even Xu Hao, if it weren't for the fact that leveling up wouldn't grant him a breakthrough point, would want to skip the cultivation process altogether.

Upon hearing Xu Hao's words, Zhao Heshan couldn't help but sigh. "Not only do they have them, but judging from the situation, the attack on the county town won't be far off!"
