I started by slashing through the enemy's territory, and I drew so many affixes that my hands w

"Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!"

"First, get these children away safely, then notify nearby residents to evacuate this area!"

"Two men, come with me. There's another group of children trapped in the orphanage. Grab your gear and come in with me to rescue them."

"Medical team, where is the medical team? There's a caregiver here whose stomach has been pierced by a steel bar..."

The area outside the Black Soil Orphanage was in complete chaos, with police officers constantly coming and going. This was the terror of martial artists.

Even the residual effects can pose a fatal crisis to ordinary people!

Members of the Suppression Bureau stood in pairs around the perimeter, their bodies constantly on high alert, fearing that any escapees might slip through their fingers, and daring not to let their guard down.

In the distance, the battle continues.

Su Lingwei stood at the front of the crowd with worry, looking towards the back mountain.

A great battle is taking place there, but it's not something she can participate in. Rushing in would only make her a burden.

At that moment, a figure quickly arrived beside her.

After escaping danger, Jiang Qin could no longer hold on and completely lost consciousness.

The Xuan Snake's ability to return to its rightful place was indeed extraordinary, but it couldn't withstand the instantaneous destruction of his meridians. The constant cycle of repair and destruction was extremely painful and unbearable for Jiang Qin.

It's like his leg being broken, and just as it's healing, it gets broken again, over and over again...

"Jiang Qin!"

Su Lingwei was shocked and helped him up, frantically checking his injuries.

From the moment she met Jiang Qin, he had always been in an invincible state, instantly killing any enemy he faced, as if nothing could pose a threat to him.

This was the first time she had ever seen the other person so badly injured.

……

I don't know how much time has passed.

Jiang Qin slowly woke up and opened his eyes.

Before him was an unfamiliar ceiling, the smell of medicine mixed with a faint fragrance lingering in his nostrils, and the unfamiliar environment made him subconsciously tense up.

As memories of his pre-coma resurfaced, he gradually relaxed.

Looking to the side, he saw Su Lingwei sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at him, holding a chicken leg in her hand and eating it with relish.

Seeing that Jiang Qin had woken up, she breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"You've been unconscious for a whole day, you're finally awake."

"Where am I?"

"A five-star hotel in Black Soil City. Your injuries healed quickly after you were injured, so I didn't take you to the hospital. I brought you directly to the hotel. As for the Pantheon, it has been confirmed that they have been completely wiped out, with not a single survivor."

Jiang Qin sat up, feeling that he had slept very comfortably.

Since becoming a martial artist, I haven't had such a comfortable rest. My mental state is excellent.

His black robe with dragon patterns hung in front of the wardrobe, but it had a hole in the chest area and needed to be repaired before it could be used again.

Su Lingwei continued, "Many people came to see you while you were unconscious. There was Director Long from the Heitu Town Spirit Bureau who came back from the border, and Shen Ling, who brought lots of delicious food."

"Before he left, Director Long instructed you to see him when you woke up."

"Yeah, speaking of food, I am a bit hungry." Jiang Qin nodded. He felt like he could eat a whole ferocious beast cow right now since he hadn't eaten all day.

He then looked at Su Lingwei, and their eyes met.

After looking at each other for a while, Su Lingwei reluctantly handed over the chicken leg she had only taken a couple of bites of, "Here, have some."

"..."

Jiang Qin was speechless for a moment, then casually took out two plates of ferocious beast meat from his spatial ring and began to eat them heartily.

He ate seven large plates before finally patting his stomach in satisfaction.

"Let's go to the Spirit Suppression Bureau!"

He really escaped death this time, so it would be unreasonable not to give him some benefits.

After a quick wash and change of clothes, Jiang Qin and Su Lingwei left the hotel and took a taxi to the Zhenling Bureau.

There were far fewer people on the streets than the day before yesterday, and many shops were closed.

It is clear that the Pantheon has had a significant impact on the public.

The Heitu Town Spirit Bureau is located in a building in the city center.

Led by an outsider and amidst admiring and respectful gazes, the two arrived outside the director's office.

"Knock knock knock—"

A heavy male voice responded from inside:

"Come in."

The door opened, and Jiang Qin went inside.

The director's office has a simple layout with no unnecessary decorations, except for a picture frame in the corner of the desk.

Behind the desk, Long Xingtian, who was processing documents, looked up and saw that it was Jiang Qin who had come. He finally showed his first smile in two days and pointed to the empty seat.

"Come on in, have a seat."

"Thanks to you all for this incident. Although I had a vague suspicion that there was something wrong with these orphanages in Black Earth City, the situation was urgent with the ferocious beasts attacking the border one after another, so I had no choice but to ignore it. But I never expected these bastards to be so bold!"

Mentioning this, Long Xingtian's anger surged, and he slammed his hand on the table, showing just how furious he was.

The major exam has been going on for 5 years, which means that all the children in Heitucheng who met the standard in the past 5 years have suffered misfortune. The number is not just thousands, but probably more than several thousand.

Even more unexpectedly, Vice Mayor Wang Xingshan colluded with cult members.

There's also the Yang family of the Fengyue Group hiring people to assassinate the mayor, and the divine consciousness descending upon Black Soil City...

If Jiang Qin hadn't held off the enemy this time, those few minutes would have been enough for that divine consciousness to slaughter the entire Black Soil City, and the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Jiang Qin also voiced his doubts: "Director Long, what exactly happened with that sudden appearance of the deity? Could just a vial of blood have such a powerful effect?"

Long Xingtian explained, "For a divine consciousness to descend into this world, it needs a sufficiently powerful physical body. The physical body is the medium through which His power is connected, and the stronger the medium, the more His power it can withstand."

"But the consequences of doing so are also very serious."

He pointed to the sky and said meaningfully:

"This world has very strong restrictions on otherworldly gods. If He sends this wisp of consciousness here, He will definitely suffer a backlash and be unable to fight for a short period of time. Moreover, once the body is occupied by a god, the physical body will collapse after a period of time."

"If it weren't for that, I probably wouldn't have been a match for that god that day."

Simply put, it involves the time limit of the descent and the backlash; gods do not easily resort to such methods.

It's clear how much that god wanted to kill Jiang Qin, but was ultimately stopped by Long Xingtian, who rushed back from the border. After a battle, his physical body finally collapsed.

Afterwards, Jiang Qin learned more about the gods from Director Long.

Long Xingtian was also very open with his knowledge and told everything he knew.

After a long while, Long Xingtian stood up and laughed:

"You two have done a great service this time. I have reported the whole story to headquarters. The mission you carried out has been upgraded to S-rank. In addition to granting you two special permission to participate in the formal investigator assessment, headquarters has also given you the opportunity to choose one S-rank cultivation technique and enter the [Spirit Pool]..."
