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

The azure sky is being swallowed up by the blazing sun.

The refreshing breeze in the forest was swallowed up by the barren sand, and scorching waves of air surged in like a tide, making the whole world seem like a world of sand. The aircraft was forced to land in the desert.

A large cloud of dust was kicked up and carried by the wind!

The hatch opened, and Jiang Qin jumped out warily, leaving footprints in the sand.

He glanced around, finding nothing, and coldly said, "Sneaking around like this, hiding your head and tail. Now that you've already pulled me into your domain, why bother hiding? Or are you afraid I'll kill you the moment you show yourself?"

A strong wind howled, and then a round of applause rang out.

"Your mind is calmer than I thought; it wasn't in vain that I waited for you for these past few days."

A figure suddenly appeared a hundred meters in front of Jiang Qin.

He was as tall and imposing as an iron tower, his bronze muscles exuding a fierce and sturdy physique. A long, old scar on his forehead added to his menacing and menacing aura.

next second.

An invisible slash cut right through the middle of his head!

But instead of bleeding from the wound, fine sand flowed out. With each breath, the man turned into sand and was blown away by the wind.

Seeing this, Jiang Qin frowned even more deeply.

He doesn't know much about the field, which would put him at a great disadvantage in a real fight.

However, the domain also cut off his ability to send out calls for help, making it impossible for him to contact the outside world. Even the lightning power he could control was suppressed by this domain, preventing him from unleashing its full potential.

"Young people are so impatient. I, Li Xiaotian, am not a truly evil person. Even if I'm going to let you die, I'll make sure you die knowing why."

The middle-aged man reappeared, his eyes gleaming coldly.

"You killed my only daughter. She was very talented, and I planned to announce our relationship after she broke through to the Divine Manifestation Realm, but—you killed her! If it weren't for that woman Cang Ling, you would have been dead seven days ago!"

Jiang Qin's mind raced, flashing through a series of images.

He was killed by someone who hadn't even reached the Divine Manifestation Realm... and he had only left the East China Headquarters not long ago. This guy acted decisively, so he must be someone from inside the Spirit Suppression Bureau.

Ultimately, he narrowed down the clues to one person.

"Li Ruyue of the Li family in Hanyue City, she is your daughter."

"I had suspected that the three families had people in the higher-ups of the Zhenling Bureau before, but after an investigation, I found nothing. I didn't expect that the Li family's real backer was an enforcement officer. This surprised me."

Li Xiaotian sneered: "Begging for mercy now is useless, but if you kneel down and cripple your eyes and limbs, I can let you die a quicker death."

However, Jiang Qin shook his head.

"No, I'm not surprised that the Li family has someone like you to back them up, but I'm surprised that a law enforcement officer like you is... so utterly useless!"

The young man laughed, his words laced with sarcasm.

"You know what those three families are doing behind the scenes, so you have never revealed your relationship with the Li family. You don't even give your daughter your surname. No... maybe she doesn't know your identity at all. You are afraid of getting involved with the Li family, afraid that the Li family's secrets will be exposed and you will be implicated. So you have never told her your identity."

"Now you're using the excuse of avenging your daughter to come after me for revenge. It's truly disgusting!"

Li Xiaotian's face darkened completely, and the sand around him swirled wildly.

"If this is your last wish, then you can die now!"

The sand and dust within a radius of a thousand meters converged into several tornadoes. These were not just simple tornadoes; everything within the domain was transformed from the power of the domain, making their power extraordinary.

At that very moment—

A terrifying sword light tore through that barrier!

Whether it was yellow sand or scorching sun, everything was shattered by this sword!

A familiar yet calm voice echoed in Jiang Qin's ears:

"Even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner. This is bullying my adjutant, using your power to oppress the weak. You're challenging me to uphold the law!"

The yellow sand and scorching sun dissipated, and the surrounding scenery returned to reality.

Cang Ling stood in mid-air, slowly lowering her raised finger, confronting Li Xiaotian, yet her gaze seemed to completely disregard him.

"What do you mean by 'you have to consider the owner before beating a dog'? Who is your dog? If you don't know how to use a phrase, don't use it carelessly."

Jiang Qin was speechless and couldn't help but complain.

At the same time, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Xiaotian's face was grim. "Cang Ling, what are you doing here?"

He went to great lengths to wait until Jiang Qin and Cang Ling separated, precisely to avoid a direct confrontation with Cang Ling. Moreover, if headquarters discovered that he had attacked Jiang Qin, given Jiang Qin's prestige, even as a law enforcement officer, he would pay a heavy price.

"Yue Beishan sent me."

"Do you really think no one knows what you did? Headquarters isn't investigating because they want to give you a chance, but just now, you used up your only chance to live."

Enforcement officers are the headquarters' high-end combat force; the loss of even one of them would cause a shockwave.

From Yue Beishan's perspective, Li Xiaotian's previous disclosure of information about the three major families of Hanyue was nothing. He was well aware that "too much clarity leaves no fish," so he gave Li Xiaotian a chance.

Completely sever ties with the Li family; things will remain the same as before.

But if you seek revenge on Jiang Qin, then I'm sorry... even if you're a law enforcement officer, you won't escape being dismissed.

Li Xiaotian knew he could do nothing to Jiang Qin, and stared at him coldly.

"Kid, we'll see what happens!"

"You'd better not fall into my hands!"

After saying that, he stopped talking nonsense and decisively burned his own domain to use a secret technique.

A spatial rift appeared in front of him, sucking him in completely. The rift closed instantly, all in the blink of an eye.

Being resented by a powerful Earth Martial Realm expert, Jiang Qin's lips twitched as he turned his head to look at Cang Ling in the air.

"Why didn't you stop him?"

Cang Ling landed beside him and gave Jiang Qin a sharp flick on the forehead without any hesitation.

"Don't make it sound so easy. Unless I can kill him in one blow, I can't stop him from using his secret technique. His body is very tough. To kill him, I would need at least... two sword strikes. Besides, he should also be connected to the Cult of the Gods."

How did you know?

"I find his aura repulsive. Only those who have come into contact with otherworldly gods can acquire that kind of aura. I'm very sensitive to that."

No wonder.

Jiang Qin suddenly realized.

If it were simply to avenge his daughter, it wouldn't be worth Li Xiaotian risking his identity being exposed. But if this guy is a member of the Cult of Gods, then it makes sense.

After all, those cult members hated him to the core.

The two walked towards the aircraft, one after the other.

"Cangling, you're free to rest for two days anyway, why don't you come to Shanghai with me?"

"Heh, I think you just want to hire me as your bodyguard so you don't get attacked on the way... You're clearly a weakling, but you're quite the troublemaker. Give me a reason to be your bodyguard."

"This still-charming old lady, you wouldn't want your dutiful, hardworking, handsome, and wealthy top-tier adjutant to suddenly die a tragic death, would you?"

"..."
