Chapter 446: Adding Points, Harvesting Results!

Chapter 446: Adding Points, Harvesting Results!

March 17, 2025, Author: Jiang Shangjing

In a perilous underground chamber,

After a brief moment,

The blood pool was evaporated, and the burning Fire Tiger vanished instantly.

Bai Luoyu approached the blood pool and was startled by what he saw.

Below, countless white bones were scattered amidst the remaining bloody water, forming a chaotic pile.

Jiang Ning slowly retracted his divine perception.

Having evaporated most of the bloody water, his perception could now reach the bottom of the pool.

His heart was also shaken by this sight.

The number of white bones exceeded a thousand.

This was the result of his divine perception scanning the bottom of the blood pool.

And on the surface, this place had buried at least a thousand people.

Meanwhile, in Baisha County, besides this special blood pool, there were four more blood pools buried underground in the southeast, southwest, northwest, and northeast directions.

If the scale of the other blood pools was similar to this one,

Then the total number of deaths would be at least several thousand.

"Brother Bai, let's go up first!" Jiang Ning slowly withdrew his gaze.

Bai Luoyu also retracted his gaze from the blood pool, "Alright! After we go up, we'll deal with County Magistrate Deng!"

Jiang Ning nodded.

"Your Excellency!" Seeing Jiang Ning and Bai Luoyu appear, the attendants were delighted and hurried forward.

Bai Luoyu slightly nodded at them.

Noticing Deng Fei and the others standing in the courtyard, looking somewhat dazed, Bai Luoyu's eyes showed surprise.

At this moment, Jiang Ning had already reached Deng Fei's side.

He pointed with a finger, and a strand of knife intent pierced through the air.

A bloody hole instantly appeared between Deng Fei's eyebrows.

Black blood flowed out from the hole.

But instead of dying, Deng Fei seemed to awaken from a trance, and his eyes regained clarity.

"What's happening?" he exclaimed in surprise.

"Patrol Commissioner Bai!" After noticing Bai Luoyu, Deng Fei quickly saluted.

"Brother Jiang, what's going on?" Bai Luoyu looked at Jiang Ning with surprise.

Deng Fei, standing beside him, also turned to look at Jiang Ning after seeing Bai Luoyu's reaction.

"There was a worm that had been parasitizing County Magistrate Deng's mind," Jiang Ning explained.

"A worm?" Deng Fei was puzzled.

"If County Magistrate Deng still has his previous memory, he should try to recall it!" Jiang Ning said.

Upon hearing these words, a thoughtful expression flashed across Deng Fei's eyes.

In less than a few breaths, Deng Fei's body began to tremble slightly.

Jiang Ning glanced at him.

Then he approached the other constables.

With a flick of his finger,

The knife intent erupted, instantly shattering their skulls.

Afterward, using his divine perception, he captured several white, worm-like creatures from their blood-filled eyebrows, dropping them to the ground.

Bai Luoyu saw these wriggling, twisted, worm-like creatures on the ground,

And his expression changed instantly.

"This is Gu poison!"

"It seems so!" Jiang Ning nodded.

As the Gu worms were extracted from the constables' brains, the constables also woke up from their trance-like state.

"Everyone, try to recall your past memories!" Jiang Ning instructed.

A moment later,

Black tears flowed from Deng Fei's eyes.

He slowly walked to the courtyard's pool and stared at the exaggerated figure in the water.

His heart sank.

"Patrol Commissioner Bai, I apologize to the elders and townsfolk in the city."

"Does County Magistrate Deng remember the past?" Bai Luoyu asked.

"I remember, I remember it all! What I've done these days is unforgivable!"

Seeing this, Jiang Ning said, "Brother Bai, you handle the situation here. The Bai Shen Jiao still has a few more bases in the city."

As his words fell,

Jiang Ning instantly turned into a gust of wind and disappeared from the spot.

The chaos in Baisha County was not completely resolved, so Jiang Ning didn't dare to linger here any longer.

Besides this place, there were three more blood pools in the northeast, northwest, and southwest corners.

Around those blood pools, there were also Bai Shen Jiao members on guard.

Although he had destroyed this base, Jiang Ning believed that it would have alerted the Bai Shen Jiao members hiding in Baisha County.

Regardless of their previous plans in this place,

Now that his actions had disrupted them, they might resort to desperate measures, causing even greater casualties.

Being in a position of power, one must consider the well-being of the people.

Since he had taken on the role of the Patrol Commissioner of Dongling County,

He couldn't ignore such a calamity.

It was a matter of the safety of countless families.

Moreover, in his eyes, the common people were the most innocent.

As his thoughts raced,

He had already used the divine ability to shrink space.

His speed instantly increased by dozens of times.

Then,

He directly rushed into an underground chamber in the southeast corner where a blood pool was located.

"Who's there!" A faint voice echoed through the pitch-black chamber.

The dark and profound underground chamber instantly became a place of death.

In less than a tea break,

The blood pools in the northeast, northwest, and southwest corners were all eradicated by Jiang Ning.

[Divine Nature]: 80 points

[Authority]: Blood Regeneration (Slightly lacking 11.3%)



He looked at his panel and nodded in satisfaction.

The destruction of those strongholds did not prove entirely fruitless.

In each blood pool, there was a statue of the God of Flesh and Blood.

Identical to the first one.

Using his divine perception, he retrieved the statue from the pool, and the gains before and after were not significantly different.

The total harvest from the five locations allowed him to collect the highest number of divine points in history.

The authority of flesh regeneration was also complemented.

"The harvest is not bad!"

He then closed the panel.

A moment later, at the back courtyard of Cui Liu Pavilion, Jiang Ning reappeared.

"Jiang, is it resolved?" Seeing Jiang Ning's swift return, Bai Luoyu was slightly startled.

Jiang Ning nodded, "It's resolved!"

"The strongholds in the southeast, northeast, southwest, and northwest corners of the city have all been eradicated. For now, it seems the crisis has been averted."

So fast?! Bai Luoyu was taken aback by Jiang Ning's words.

He was well aware of the size of Bai Sha County.

In the four corners, not to mention eradicating strongholds, just running back and forth would take longer than this short time.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but recall Jiang Ning's timely appearance earlier.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and he then concealed them deep within.

"Many thanks, Jiang Patrol Commissioner!"

Seeing Jiang Ning's appearance, Deng Fei quickly bowed in gratitude.

Just as Jiang Ning was leaving, he had also learned of Jiang Ning's true identity from Bai Luoyu's mouth.

The other constables, upon seeing this, also bowed and expressed their thanks.

"Many thanks for saving our lives, Jiang Patrol Commissioner!"

"Many thanks for your life-saving grace, Jiang Patrol Commissioner!"

"Many thanks for your life-saving grace, Jiang Patrol Commissioner!"

"..."

Jiang Ning waved his hand, indicating that it was unnecessary.

"County Magistrate Deng, do you understand your current situation?" He asked.

Deng Fei replied, "We have been deeply corrupted by the evil deity and can't turn back. The only fate awaiting us is death."

Saying this, Deng Fei clenched his fist, a hint of unwillingness in his eyes.

"As the county magistrate, I have failed in my duties, and a thousand deaths would not be enough to atone. But my fellow officers who followed me are innocent. If they die with me, I truly can't bear it!"

"Sir, on the road to the underworld, we will have company! In the future, we may still accomplish great deeds on the road to the underworld!" One of the constables spoke up.

Jiang Ning looked at Deng Fei and the others, silently shaking his head in his heart.

Just now, outside, he had already tried.

Corrupted by the God of Flesh and Blood, they became divine descendants.

Even with his blood entering their bodies, he couldn't save them.

Their situation was similar to when his blood entered Long Xingyun's body, with absolutely no effect.

Like mud entering the ocean, it caused no ripples or disturbance.

At this moment, Bai Luoyu, seeing that Jiang Ning had nothing to say, remained silent.

As for how to deal with Deng Fei and the others, it depended on the opinions of both Jiang Ning, the patrol commissioner of Dongling County, and Zhao Yu Long.

But according to the rules, those deeply corrupted by the evil deity, as defined by the Xia Dynasty, could not turn back.

Their fate was sealed.

Death.

Because the corruption was too deep, there was no way to save them, and they could only gradually slip into the abyss, losing their sanity and eventually becoming puppet-like existences of the evil deity.

No matter how they struggled, they couldn't escape this ultimate fate.

Unless their divine souls could undergo a metamorphosis midway and successfully break free from its control.

Seeing that neither Jiang Ning nor Bai Luoyu expressed their opinions, Deng Fei couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"County Magistrate Deng, please send someone with me to handle the aftermath at those places of worship and seal the city gates, strictly prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving until the garrison arrives."

"Yes, I accept the order!" Deng Fei took the command from Bai Luoyu.

"Jiang, let's go and handle the aftermath first and wait for the arrival of Zhao Fu Zhu. Then we can discuss further plans together."

"Good!" Jiang Ning nodded.

Under Jiang Ning's leadership, the four places of worship were quickly sealed off.

With Bai Luoyu taking over, Jiang Ning became free.

Walking on the empty streets, he felt the dark clouds above gradually dispersing, but his heart was not lightened in the slightest.

Fortunately, this incident happened in Bai Sha County, and it was during his growth.

If it had occurred a year or two earlier, in the not-too-distant Luo Shui County, what then?

Without his presence as a variable, Bai Luoyu alone would have been unable to handle this matter.

Moreover, there was also him!

Thinking of the briefly descended God of Flesh and Blood, Jiang Ning felt no small pressure.

He understood why the God of Flesh and Blood suddenly flew into a rage.

Because he possessed the authority of the God of Flesh and Blood.

A conflict of authority meant an unending battle.

This was also his first time transitioning from the shadows to the light.

Undoubtedly, he knew he had been marked for death by the God of Flesh and Blood.

Being marked by one likened to a divine being, how could he not feel the pressure?

He clasped his hands together.

"My strength is still too weak!"

The potential enemies lurking in the shadows weighed heavily on his mind.

He then turned his attention to his panel, contemplating where to allocate his Divine Points.

【Divine Points】: 89

【Law Form】: Blood Regeneration (Slightly Deficient: 11.3%) Divine Lineage Affiliate (Half Deficient: 1.4%)



Based on his previous observations, allocating Divine Points to the Blood Regeneration Law Form would only yield a 0.3% increase in progress.

Even if he were to allocate all 89 points, it would only result in a 27% increase in progress.

This would not provide a direct boost.

At this thought, he shook his head inwardly.

He then shifted his gaze to another Law Form.

Divine Lineage Affiliate.

If this Law Form were to be further completed, the enhancement of others' physical bodies would become more apparent.

This idea flashed through his mind, and he had already made his decision.

Currently, he lacked capable personnel.

Even after half a month of cultivation, the members of his Patrol Office were still unable to handle matters independently.

There were hardly any individuals with exceptional strength.

The strongest among them was Xie Xiaojiu, a Seventh Grade expert.

Such strength was insufficient in Dongling County, and they were far from being able to handle situations independently.

With his subordinates lacking in strength, there were more occasions where he had to take matters into his own hands.

This also meant less time for him to cultivate.

Having just assumed the role of the Patrol Commissioner of Dongling County, he couldn't afford to neglect his duties entirely.

Under these circumstances, completing the Divine Lineage Affiliate Law Form became even more crucial.

With capable subordinates, he would have more time to focus on enhancing his own strength.

The next moment, the Divine Points on his panel began to decrease.

The progress of the Divine Lineage Affiliate Law Form continued to rise.

In front of the half-deficient Divine Lineage Affiliate Law Form, each Divine Point contributed a 3% increase in progress.

In just a moment, his panel changed once again.

【Divine Points】: 66

【Law Form】: Blood Regeneration (Slightly Deficient: 11.3%) Divine Lineage Affiliate (Slightly Deficient: 0%)



A total of 33 Divine Points were consumed, allowing the Divine Lineage Affiliate Law Form to be completed once again.

This would undoubtedly enhance the physical bodies of others even more.

Jiang Ning thought to himself.

This also reminded him of the effects of dragon blood from a while ago.

A single drop of ordinary dragon blood had brought about a significant improvement.

This made him feel that there was some similarity between the two.

Subsequently, he closed the panel.

In the afternoon, Jiang Ning and Bai Luoyu stood on the city wall.

The soldiers guarding the city kept their distance from the two of them.

Among them, some who saw Jiang Ning couldn't help but reveal a peculiar expression.

They hadn't forgotten the mysterious figure who had appeared on the city tower like a ghostly apparition.

Now, they finally understood that he was a top figure from the county town.

"Jiang, do you think Zhao Fu Zhu's expression will be pleasant when he learns that you resolved the crisis in Baisha County ahead of time?" Bai Luoyu asked with a smile, as if she had thought of something.

Jiang Ning shook his head, "It was merely a stroke of luck that I happened to arrive in Baisha County a step earlier. This luck should be credited to both of us!"

"Not to both of us, but to Jiang!" Bai Luoyu shook her head.

She continued, "If not for Jiang's timely appearance, given the situation back then, I would have surely perished in this dragon's den!"

"It seems that Jiang has saved my life!"

"In this situation, Jiang has not only provided assistance but also saved my life! How can I possibly claim this merit for myself?"

At this point, Bai Luoyu looked at Jiang Ning seriously.

"Moreover, Jiang should consider one thing—entering the Third Grade!"

"The merit is not enough for two people!"

"The merit should be credited to Jiang, and it will be of great use to him."

"The Divine Human Master's Law Form is not something that can be easily exchanged for contribution points."

Upon hearing Bai Luoyu's words, Jiang Ning also began to think seriously.

Based on his experiences from a while ago, it was indeed as Bai Luoyu had said.

The Divine Human Master's Law Form was not something he could obtain even with his current status as the Patrol Commissioner of Dongling County.

According to what the old lady Bai had said, he only understood a fraction of it.

But to obtain the true Law Form, he would need to accumulate over a million contribution points and then seek her out.

This matter had been causing him some headaches recently.

The key to becoming a Divine Human Master was not far from his grasp.

However, achieving the Law Form of the Divine Human Master was his greatest challenge at present.

Especially since he had made the decision to obtain the Law Form that allowed for nine exchanges.

This was an extremely difficult task.

As various thoughts flashed through his mind, he clasped his hands and said, "Thank you, Brother Bai, for your help!"

Bai Luoyu smiled.

As expected!

Jiang was just a step away from becoming a Divine Human Master!

He had a sudden realization, but he didn't feel shocked.
