Chapter 7: Chapter 7: Evil Suppression Bureau

    ?

    For the following three days,

    Gu Qingfeng had not gone to the Golden Bull Martial Arts Hall but had been silently refining the Blood Refining Pill, hoping to break through to the Blood Refining Realm as soon as possible.

    However,

    although the Blood Refining Pill was powerful,

    the breakthrough from the Refining Skin Realm to the Blood Refining Realm could not be crossed in a short time.

    In the case of refining three Blood Refining Pills within three days, Gu Qingfeng could clearly feel that his cultivation had reached the limit of the Refining Skin Realm, just lacking an opportunity to complete the significant transformation.

    But this transformation was not so easy to achieve.

    If he could give himself a few more days, Gu Qingfeng was fairly confident he could break through to the Blood Refining Realm.

    But now,

    he did not have that much time.

    Because today was the day he had arranged to meet Xu Jun.

    With other instructors of the martial arts school serving as bait and being buried with them, the probability of leaving Lin County was much higher. Without Xu Jun and the others, even if he were to break through to the Blood Refining Realm, Gu Qingfeng was not confident he could leave Lin County safely.

    Indeed.

    After understanding Xu Jun''s intentions, Gu Qingfeng had the same plan.

    Xu Jun regarded him and the other instructors as bait, and he had the same idea.

    In these troubled times, death was a common occurrence.

    Over the past thirty years, Gu Qingfeng had seen plenty of dead bodies and was not much moved by it.

    Immediately,

    Gu Qingfeng simply packed up his belongings, which weren''t many to begin with. The only thing he had to take with him was some Silver Taels.

    Then,

    The left the house with Gu Yang.

    Compared to three days ago, the sky above Lin County was now filled with a faint blood mist. Pedestrians and citizens all had distressed and panicked expressions, but it had not yet descended into chaos.

    Gu Qingfeng did not want to concern himself with too much right now; he only wanted to leave Lin County as quickly as possible. After all, the blood mist had already appeared in the sky, and no one could guarantee when new anomalies might occur.

    However, Gu Yang showed a look of curiosity in his bright eyes when he saw the blood mist. "Dad, what is that?"

    "You don''t need to worry about these things. Just remember to stay close to me," Gu Qingfeng earnestly cautioned, and Gu Yang nodded his head, half-understanding.

    Before long,

    the two arrived at the Golden Bull Martial Arts Hall.

    It wasn''t that Gu Qingfeng distrusted the Evil Suppression Bureau, but everything was just too

    coincidental.

    As Xu Jun had previously mentioned, Lin County wasn''t a significant place-its remote location meant that a small town like this, especially with the blood mist sealing it off, could

    hardly send any messages out.

    Yet the Evil Suppression Bureau arrived almost immediately after the blood mist appeared,

    which was a bit too convenient.

    Too convenient,

    often implies that it''s not a coincidence at all!

    There was another point.

    That was the order from the Evil Suppression Bureau for all the residents not to leave Lin

    County, which also made Gu Qingfeng feel something was amiss.

    Had it been just this order alone, there would have been no issue.

    But combined with the previous events and the current order, Gu Qingfeng understood that things were definitely not as simple as Xu Jun had described.

    The purpose of the Evil Suppression Bureau became something worth pondering.

    Nevertheless,

    these thoughts were kept to himself by Gu Qingfeng, who chose not to voice them aloud.

    Engaging in deep discussions where the bond was shallow was a taboo matter. Although Gu Qingfeng had been an instructor at the Golden Bull Martial Arts Hall for several years and knew Xu Jun and the other instructors only superficially, he certainly couldn''t share these thoughts with them.

    If the Evil Suppression Bureau had ulterior motives and someone passed these thoughts on to

    them, it would just be causing trouble for himself.

    Therefore,

    Gu Qingfeng kept quiet to everyone.

    At the same time, he solidified one thing in his mind: he couldn''t stay in Lin County any

    longer.

    "The people of the Golden Bull Martial Arts Hall can''t be relied upon. To leave Lin County, I must rely on myself. In the end, it all comes down to strength.

    If I were in the Blood Refining Realm or even above that level as a martial artist, many issues wouldn''t be issues at all.

    The most critical thing right now is to achieve a breakthrough to the Blood Refining Realm first. Although I''m not certain of the strength of the members from the Evil Suppression Bureau, given that the Refining Skin Perfection level Xu Jun is so wary of them, the strength of

    those coming must also be extraordinary."

    With this thought,

    Gu Qingfeng set aside all distractions and swallowed a Blood Refining Pill, beginning to refine the power of the elixir and forcibly pushing for a breakthrough to a higher realm.
