Chapter 124: Chapter 82 Assassination (Please Subscribe)

Xu Qing’s Divine Soul naturally shed its shell, as if a seed was sprouting from the soil, smooth and unhindered like the flowing clouds and water.

He effortlessly left the study and saw Qiu Xiang and the others were busy roasting meat for him.

Winter, sunlight, the mundane world’s hustle and bustle.

"I’ve reached the ’Day Trip’ Realm with my Divine Soul breakthrough."

Xu Qing came back to his senses and found himself in broad daylight.

The winter sun wasn’t intense, and its warm rays shined on Xu Qing’s Divine Soul without causing any discomfort.

He even approached the place where the meat was being roasted over a fire with interest.

The roaring flames emitted heat waves, crashing against the Divine Soul.

Xu Qing felt no fear.

With a thought, he blew a breath at it.

The flames, as if encountering a chill, briefly shrank but quickly grew again with the help of the firewood.

After moving around in the yard for a while, Xu Qing returned to his body.

This return of the Divine Soul to its shell felt entirely different from before.

Xu Qing casually threw out a Beng Fist, and it was as if a thunderclap exploded in the room.

The Strength Force was crisp, clear, and thoroughly penetrating.

The key was that the time to gather strength had shortened.

"This is because the Divine Soul has stronger control over the muscles and bones, so the same moves will only be smoother than before," Xu Qing realized with clarity.

His release of Beng Fist, with its thundering sound, startled the maidservants busy outside.

Therefore, Xu Qing opened the door and told them not to make a fuss and took the opportunity to start enjoying the roasted meat.

After consuming an unknown amount of meat, Xu Qing gradually felt satiated, stopped eating, and asked Qiu Xiang and the others to clean up before leaving the yard.

Xu Qing then practiced Crane Form Skill and Eight Diagram Wandering Palm next to it to help digest the food.

"Although eating in such large quantities like today is rare, as Martial Arts improve, the required food intake will definitely increase. Going on like this, I’ll have to spend so much time every day on eating and excreting."

Xu Qing’s sense of potential trouble arose.

Currently, aside from eating, he also had the supplement of Yin Energy from the Old Wutong Tree and the refining of Moonlight. It made sense that he ate less than other martial artists of the same Qi-Blood level, yet he was starting to find it troublesome. One could imagine how much expense those large sects, supporting a group of martial artists, must incur.

"For sects like the Great Zen Temple, with high-level Kung Fu of its chiefs, if they also spent a lot of time eating and excreting every day, it would certainly be inconvenient and undignified. I’ve never heard any rumors about this, so it suggests that their food might be more advanced than what I’m eating now, which could alleviate this trouble. Besides, they must also have methods of absorbing energy from food."

Even saints know to not tire of eating fine food or savoring delicate flavors.

With a thousand years of accumulation, the Great Zen Temple would not lack the means to be extremely helpful in this respect.

"One day, I’ll have to visit the Great Zen Temple, such a paramount existence in the Martial Arts world as the Beidou in the sky," Xu Qing couldn’t help but yearn for the Great Zen Temple’s resources.

For now, he’d better focus on assimilating Tiger Demon Bone Refining Fist and Bull Demon Strong Fist first.

With these two top-notched Martial Arts regimen for toughening muscles and bones, after obtaining the three-tailed black fox’s spirit flesh and spirit blood and pushing both techniques to their limits, his strength might no longer be inferior to today’s King Lin.

By that time, if any trouble arises in the White Path, a direct switch to business in the underworld would pose no problems at all.

It’s just that he couldn’t bear to leave the Old Wutong Tree even if he decided to turn to banditry on Qixia Mountain and take the leader’s seat.

Xu Qing was somewhat superstitious now, believing the Feng Shui of his yard was good.

Ever since he moved here, everything had gone smoothly.

He had Zhao Xiong, the arrest officer, to thank for this.

Lao Zhao was a respectable man. When he had free time tomorrow, he should have someone offer incense on Zhao’s behalf.

...

...

Songhe Building, underground, hidden chamber.

Several middle-aged men and an old crone were gathered together; the men were all Hall Masters of the Lotus Sect while the crone was an Elder.

This represented all the top-tier personnel of the Lotus Sect in Jiangning Prefecture right now.

The Songhe Building was in fact a covert base of the Lotus Sect.

The old crone’s surname was Tang, and the snake-headed staff in her hand was an exceedingly malicious hidden weapon.

The carved snake head seemed so vivid as if it could pick a victim to bite at any moment. Ordinary people catching sight of it would tremble with fear.

Even those who practice martial arts would break into a cold sweat, panicking, upon a sudden encounter.

The old crone tapped her snake-headed staff on the ground lightly and said, "This time, in the public eye, we are taking Fox Attraction Incense, but in reality, it’s a chance to assassinate He Mingxuan. Once he’s dead, Jiangning Prefecture will inevitably fall into chaos, and then we can stir up the antagonistic sentiments between the Court and local forces."

As a Magistrate of Zhili city, if one were to be promoted, at the minimum, one could become a Governor in some remote province, thus being half a step away from becoming a top official.

Moreover, Magistrate He’s background is not small.

The assassination of such a figure would undoubtedly lead the Central Court to suspect that the local authorities had lost control.

Even if this were not the case, it would provide the Court with an excuse to weaken the local magnates and scholars of Jiangning Prefecture.

"Elder Tang, we agreed to capture the Three-tailed Black Fox and cultivate the sect’s Holy Technique with Fox Attraction Incense. How come the plan suddenly changed to assassinati
