The Martial Saint begins by collecting corpses.

"Lord Su!"

Realizing that the Town Night Division might be under attack by ghosts, Lu Ming was shocked and quickly stepped forward, shouting at Su Wantang, who was still walking stiffly.

However, Su Wantang only frowned slightly, a struggle flashing in her eyes, before continuing to walk stiffly.

He just slowed down a bit; he didn't wake up.

Lu Ming frowned, then suddenly had an idea and took out a golden needle from his body.

He had previously received instruction in acupuncture techniques such as needle acupuncture and needle pricking. Just in case, he also bought a set of gold needles to carry with him.

Seeing that talking was useless, he spotted several acupoints on Su Wantang's head and swiftly inserted several needles into her head.

Su Wantang paused, her expression shifted several times, and then her eyes widened suddenly, her gaze becoming quick and lively.

She was panting heavily, as if she had just surfaced after nearly drowning, and the surging waves of her chest made Lu Ming slightly avert his gaze.

Su Wantang took a few breaths, slowly calming down. A trace of fear still lingered in her eyes. She turned her gaze to Lu Ming and said gratefully:

"Your name is Lu Ming? Thank you for earlier. But what's going on with the Night Guard in Blackwater County? How could they be attacked by ghosts?"

Lu Ming shook his head: "I don't know either."

Su Wantang's face turned cold. She bit her lip, and the anger in her eyes turned into shock when she looked up and saw the dusk.

"I remember it's been a long time since dusk, is that right?"

Lu Ming said, "When I woke up, it was still dusk, so that's probably not right."

Boom!

Just then, the gate of a nearby courtyard suddenly exploded.

A burly, domineering man in leather armor rushed out of the courtyard, grabbed Inspector Zhou Mo's arm, and dragged him out.

"Lord Zhou, Lord Lei." Upon seeing this, Su Wantang immediately went to greet them.

"Lord Su." The burly man's eyes lit up when he saw Su Wantang, and he immediately rushed over with Zhou Mo.

Approaching Su Wantang, he threw a wrapped scale on the ground, spat viciously, and said in a slightly ferocious tone:

"Lord Su, something's not right here!"

"A female ghost suddenly appeared in my room just now. If I, Lei Xiao, hadn't already communicated with the Yin and Yang realms and killed this ghost, I'm afraid I would have been doomed today."

"I rushed into Lord Zhou's courtyard immediately. Fortunately, Lord Zhou had a piece of pure yang jade on him, which made it difficult for ghosts and monsters to invade, otherwise..."

He spoke angrily.

Zhou Mo's face was pale, but he remained relatively calm. A jade Buddha pendant hung on his chest, emitting a red glow and a faint warmth.

"Lord Su, you are a master of the Fucheng Town Night Division. Tell me, what should we do now?"

"This sunset is a bit eerie. Will we run into trouble if we leave now?"

Zhou Mo's expression was solemn as he spoke slowly.

Zhou Mo and Lei Xiao were both focused on Su Wantang, and neither of them paid any attention to Lu Ming, a mere Crescent Moon-level Night Patrolman from the Blackwater County Town Night Division.

Su Wantang said seriously:

"Although I am a lower-ranking night patrolman in the Fucheng Town Night Guard, I am actually responsible for guarding the archives."

"When it comes to dealing with ghosts and monsters, Lord Lei, who can manifest his true intentions, is more skilled than I am."

"As the saying goes, many hands make light work. We should gather together now and not separate. We should go find the other adults immediately and then make further plans."

"Oh, and there's also this Lu Xinyue..."

Just as Su Wantang was about to introduce Lu Ming to the two of them, Lei Xiao glared fiercely at Lu Ming before he could finish speaking and said:

"I remember him, Lu Ming, right? The danger we encountered this time is related to the scale you took out during the day."

"Why didn't you report such a serious matter back then? If something had happened to these officials, could you have taken responsibility?!"

Zhou Mo glanced at Lu Ming indifferently, but there was also a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

Lu Ming sneered inwardly, but ignored the two men.

After hearing Lin Xiaojie's words, these two guys immediately wanted to take him away and convict him. Now they actually have the nerve to question him?

Lei Xiao's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he glared at Lu Ming, wanting to say something more, when a loud bang was heard and the gate of a small courtyard not far away suddenly shook!

Then came a thud, the sound of something heavy falling to the ground. Bright red blood seeped from the crack in the door.

Su Wantang immediately said:

"The situation is urgent; we should immediately find the other adults."

Zhou Mo's expression was also grave. He said, "We need to be quick!"

Upon hearing this, Lei Xiao glared at Lu Ming again before taking the lead, walking ahead with Zhou Mo and Su Wantang towards the courtyard where blood was seeping out.

Lu Ming's eyes flashed, and he followed behind, perhaps there would be more corpses to collect this time.

Bang! Lei Xiao arrived at the door and kicked it hard, breaking the door open.

Behind the door lay a corpse, its belly ripped open, and most of its body was covered in blood. Its face and skin were as pale as paper.

Upon seeing the man's face, Lei Xiao's gaze sharpened, and he said:

"It was Lord Wen from the government office. He also had the skill of cultivating tendons. I never expected him to die here so easily."

Zhou Mo's face was also very grim. As the leader of this inspection team, he had to bear at least half the responsibility if the other members got into trouble.

Su Wantang's expression was solemn as she said:

"Go and check on the other adults."

The three of them walked away with solemn expressions, but Lu Ming quietly stepped forward from behind, wanting to make the Heavenly Heart Seal work.

However, there was no reaction whatsoever on the corpse; there was no white light, no green light, not even a gray light.

Lu Ming's gaze sharpened. He had encountered a situation where the corpses did not react before. That was with the mummified corpses in the mass grave, the mummified corpses that the broker was preparing to dispose of.

However, that was a dried corpse, while this one is a fresh one.

Lu Ming stared at the corpse for a few moments, then his pupils suddenly contracted. The corpse was bleeding heavily, and its skin was frighteningly white. And it had just died!

If they hadn't come to check earlier, would the body have become like a dried-up corpse in a while?

He examined the bloodstains on the ground closely and found that in such a short time, the bloodstains had become very faint, as if they had dried quickly.

Could it be as he thought? Lu Ming turned around thoughtfully, intending to follow Su Wantang and the others to the next courtyard.

Suddenly, the wall next to him twisted, and a gray shadow pounced out, baring its fangs and claws as it attacked him.

Upon seeing this, Lu Ming was not surprised but delighted. He saw that as soon as the gray shadow approached him, it turned into ashes inch by inch, just like a moth drawn to a flame, and scattered with the wind.

A green light appeared above him, followed by another green light. The two green lights entered his body together and were devoured by him.

[Gain martial arts experience.]

[Acquired cultivation technique: Golden Goose Technique.]

[Acquired martial skill: Swift Legs.]

[Obtained incomplete bone structure.]

……

[Gain martial arts experience.]

[Acquired martial art: Mighty Fist.]

[Obtained partial root bone.]

A wealth of martial arts experience flooded my mind.

Lu Ming obtained a new martial arts technique, the Golden Goose Technique, which seemed to be a martial art specializing in leg techniques. He could practice it in his spare time.

As for the other green light, it was indeed a very fragmented martial arts experience, like the experience of a mental patient, extremely chaotic.

To his surprise, the green light gave him a portion of his innate talent, subtly improving his aptitude.

His spirits lifted, and he immediately turned and strode away from the courtyard, heading quickly towards the direction where Su Wantang and the others were.

Perhaps today will bring a great harvest.
