From the moment the Tiger Soul awakened, I became invincible.

Chapter 97 A Clear Understanding of the Dao, the Holy Infant Goddess

Under the influence of a few disciples of the Holy Infant Cult, all the people wore a strange fanaticism on their faces.

"Charge in!"

A disciple of the Holy Infant Cult roared.

Then the disciples rushed towards the door.

The gate to this courtyard is not very sturdy.

With a loud bang, the door was pushed to the ground.

Then everyone surged into the courtyard.

The ground was covered in blood, but the entire courtyard was deserted.

The expressions of those Holy Infant Sect disciples changed.

The situation here was not quite what they had imagined, which made them feel a little uneasy.

However, at this point they had no way out.

The faces of the group twisted, and then they spoke:

"Did you see that?"

Those who dare to disobey the Empress will ultimately meet their end in death…

Just as he was speaking, a figure walked out of the room.

The moment the figure appeared, the faces of the Holy Infant Sect disciples turned ugly.

Something unexpected happened!

That damned rebel is still alive.

In other words, the bloodstains on the ground did not belong to this person at all.

Qin Wu looked at them calmly and said:

"What brings you all here?"

The moment Qin Wu spoke, the followers of the Holy Infant Cult froze on the spot.

Their gazes all turned to the few disciples of the Holy Infant Sect, and they were momentarily at a loss.

"Sir, it wasn't about him..."

Someone asked a question.

The disciples of the Holy Infant Sect exchanged glances.

One of them had a cold look in his eyes, gritted his teeth, and then spoke with a serious expression:

"Everyone, this is a test from the Holy Infant Goddess for us!"

There is no such thing as getting something for nothing in this world. Now is the time for us to show our loyalty to the Holy Infant Goddess!

His voice is extremely seductive.

Then he continued speaking:

"Kill him to show your loyalty to the Empress."

"At that time, the Empress will surely grant your wishes, bestowing upon your children unparalleled talent and unparalleled achievements!"

Just a few words.

The believers then showed expressions of sudden realization, their faces filled with fervor.

"Kill him!"

"Kill him!"

Everyone was roaring and shoving as they surged toward Qin Wu.

Qin Wu's expression turned slightly cold, and a hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes.

The moment that murderous aura appeared, everyone around couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Although most people don't understand why Qin Wu makes them feel afraid.

But this deep-seated fear cannot be changed.

Several disciples of the Holy Infant Sect had drastic changes in expression.

They immediately realized that the man in front of them must have emerged from a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to possess such a strong killing intent.

They only exchanged a glance, and then a cold glint appeared in their eyes.

So what if you survived a bloodbath and a mountain of corpses?

Their Holy Infant Cult has developed to its current state not solely through force.

"Dear believers, do not be afraid. The person before you must be a great demon who harms the world. But it is precisely because of this that you can obtain the Goddess's blessing by killing him."

This is a test from the Empress; she has been watching us all along.

He's all alone; if we work together, we're sure we can kill him.

Think of everything you'll gain after killing him: your children will possess unparalleled talent, and your future will be infinitely glorious!

As soon as the words were spoken, those who had been hesitating calmed down.

Their eyes revealed a look of madness.

Qin Wu's expression as he looked at them was full of sarcasm.

They worship the Holy Infant Goddess, placing all their hopes on gaining her favor and wishing their children to be the chosen one.

Even if the vast majority of them become victims, it is worth it.

They weren't thinking about their own children; they just wanted to reap without sowing, and they didn't care how much they had to sacrifice for it.

Most importantly, they sacrificed not themselves, but their children.

Such people are unworthy of being parents, and even unworthy of being human!

"Kill him!"

The disciples of the Holy Infant Sect roared, their expressions turning cold as they looked at Qin Wu.

In their eyes, Qin Wu was already a dead man.

The reason is very simple.

Qin Wu may be quite strong, but so what?

The law does not punish the masses, but in the end, he was only one person.

Even if Qin Wu wanted to escape, it would be useless. Those ordinary people couldn't stop him, but these disciples of the Holy Infant Sect were all skilled in cultivation.

So, this person is definitely dead!

Upon hearing these three words, the crazed believers surged towards Qin Wu.

"Kill him! There are so many of us, are we afraid of him? Can he really kill us all?"

Although the others did not speak, they all shared the same thought.

This person in front of them wouldn't dare kill them!

The people at the forefront were already showing excitement, because in their eyes, Qin Wu was already theirs.

But in the very next second...

A loud bang!

Qin Wu landed a punch on one of them.

That's just an ordinary person; how could he possibly have the strength to withstand that punch?

In just a moment, the man flew backward like a rag doll and crashed heavily against the courtyard wall.

And he wasn't the only one.

The others who rushed to the front also met the same fate; Qin Wu's methods were ruthless, and each move was a death sentence.

In the blink of an eye, dozens of people died at his hands.

Even this courtyard has been cleared out.

Such ruthless methods directly frightened everyone.

Whether they were disciples of the Holy Infant Cult or so-called believers, they all swallowed hard and stopped in their tracks.

Qin Wu flicked the blood off his hands with some disgust, then spoke calmly:

"Why did it stop?"

"You're a madman!"

Some people pointed at him and cursed him, but dared not move.

But his inaction does not mean that Qin Wu will not act.

In an instant, Qin Wu appeared in front of him and slapped him across the face.

His head was spun around and then slammed to the ground, looking extremely gruesome.

Everyone fell silent.

Most of the people here are ordinary people who have never seen anything like this before.

One person suddenly knelt down on the ground.

"Sir, we were wrong."

Qin Wu's ruthless methods made him realize that if he continued to fight, he would only face death.

The others followed suit, but their eyes were filled with an undisguised hatred.

"Wrong?"

Qin Wu chuckled lightly, then spoke with icy eyes:

"You weren't wrong, you were just afraid. You used your own children as tools to advance your own power, without even considering their lives. If I let you live, my resolve would waver."

As the sound faded.

Without any hesitation, Qin Wu immediately took action.

There are many people like them in this waterfront city.

But since no one else was hanging around him, he couldn't be bothered to care.

However, Qin Wu didn't mind sending these people to where they needed to go.

"No, spare our lives!"

"Please, please, let me go!"

Cries for mercy rang out, but to no avail.

Qin Wu's rise to power was not based on being lenient with others, but on being decisive in killing.

He doesn't mind taking action when these things happen.

But since it was someone who dared to raise a butcher's knife to kill him...

Then he has no reason to let it go.

His strength has almost surpassed the Mind Nourishing and Meridian Opening Realm. Although there are quite a few people here, they are nothing more than chickens and dogs to him.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, apart from a few who managed to escape, the rest were all turned into corpses on the ground.

In an instant, the entire courtyard was a river of blood.

Qin Wu, however, felt that his Dao heart was stable.

"That feels good."

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he wasn't afraid of corpses, he still found them disgusting; the courtyard was clearly no longer habitable.

Just as he was preparing to move to another place,

Meng Qiudie walked in.

She was clearly surprised by the scene.

Of course she knew what was happening here.

However, there are clearly many people here who are not followers of the Holy Infant Church.

Just now, this group of people also broke into their Baicaotang.

She came out through the back door, which is why she was able to come to Qin Wu's place.

But Qin Wu's decision is clearly different from hers now.

"Young Master Qin, aren't you afraid of incurring public wrath by doing this?"

Meng Qiudie spoke with some concern.

Qin Wu remained calm and unconcerned, and said:

"The moment they decided to take action against me, it meant they were already my enemies."

Since they are enemies, I naturally cannot let them live.

Upon hearing Qin Wu's answer, Meng Qiudie was momentarily stunned.

"Young master is truly decisive."

She sighed.

Qin Wu's actions were something she herself could not have done.

"Miss Meng, is there anything I can do for you this time?"

Qin Wu asked directly.

Meng Qiudie spoke:

"Young Master, as you know, our Hundred Herbs Hall has always been neutral. However, this time, those members of the Holy Infant Cult have taken the initiative to attack our Hundred Herbs Hall, thus breaking this rule."

From now on, in any matter concerning the Holy Infant Cult, our Hundred Herbs Hall will absolutely not stand idly by.

She first stated her position, and then continued:

"Last night, our Baicaotang was also attacked. After investigation, it was found that the attackers were from Jiuqu Lianhuan Village outside the city. These people are a group of water bandits who have been entrenched in Linshui City for many years."

Although the Nine-Bend Linked Village is a group of river pirates, they have always had their bottom line: they do not interfere in the affairs of the city, nor do they harm the common people at will. Ordinary merchants can pass by as long as they pay some "toll". In addition, the leader of the Nine-Bend Linked Village is exceptionally powerful, so they have been able to live in peace for so many years.

But not long ago, the chieftain of Jiuqu Lianhuan Village suddenly died.

The appearance of members of the Holy Infant Cult caused some people in the Nine-Bend Linked Village to harbor inappropriate thoughts.

Does the Holy Infant Cult truly have the ability to improve one's innate physical constitution?

Qin Wu asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Meng Qiudie scoffed and said:

"Such methods certainly exist, but they all require consuming a large number of extremely precious treasures. How could we possibly use such a ridiculous method as sacrifice?"

Even if it were an unorthodox method, it couldn't be this easy.

Meng Qiudie's words reminded Qin Wu of what Mu Yunzheng had done.

His cultivation was destroyed, and in order to restore it, he was willing to pay the price of the lives of an entire city.

Even before he succeeded, at least tens of thousands of people had already died directly or indirectly at his hands.

Compared to this, the actions of the Holy Infant Cult do indeed sound utterly ridiculous.

Meng Qiudie continued:

"We do not know the purpose of the person behind the Holy Infant Cult, but it is highly likely that it is some evil means that serve only him."

Those who were deceived will eventually pay the price for their greed.

It's just a pity that those innocent children will lose their lives because of their parents' ignorance.

Meanwhile, within the Nine Bends and Eighteen Villages.

A woman walked into the village, and along the way, everyone who saw her lowered their heads, not daring to look her in the eye.

Behind the woman were dozens of people dressed in the robes of the Holy Infant Church.

Not long after, people from the Nine Turns and Eighteen Villages came out to greet them.

Upon seeing the woman, the leader frowned and spoke:

"Holy Infant Goddess, I don't care what your purpose is, but in the past period of time, our Nine Turns and Eighteen Villages have paid a considerable price because of your Holy Infant Sect."

If things continue like this, sooner or later they will be targeted by the forces in Linshui City.

You're all crazy, but we, the Nine Turns and Eighteen Villages, will still live near this water town.

Therefore, I hope you can fulfill your promise as soon as possible; otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to continue.

The woman known as the Holy Infant Goddess glanced at him, then spoke calmly:

"Chief Chen, you don't actually think you have a way out now, do you?"

It won't be long before those True Qi sects arrive in Linshui City. This is your last chance; if you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life.

Chief Chen frowned and said:

"I want to break through my limits and join a sect, but that doesn't mean I'm stupid."

What you're doing now is practically putting my Nine Turns and Eighteen Villages on a fire.

The people we sent out yesterday haven't returned yet. If something goes wrong, none of us will be able to escape responsibility.

Just then, a man from Jiuqu Shibazhai ran in and quickly said:

"Chief, something's happened!"

Chief Chen's heart skipped a beat, and his expression turned somewhat grim.

"What happened?"

"The brothers who went out on a mission last night are all dead, and this morning, the Holy Infant Cult led their followers to cause trouble for those people."

But they were all dead, and among them was a malevolent spirit. Not only did the members of the Holy Infant Cult die, but even the followers they had seduced did not leave alive.

"What?"

Chief Chen's face suddenly turned extremely ugly.

He suddenly looked at the Holy Infant Goddess.

"This matter absolutely cannot be delayed any longer. If we intend to continue cooperating, then I hope he dies in Linshui City today. Otherwise, even if it comes at a price, my Nine Turns Eighteen Villages will never cooperate with your Holy Infant Sect again!"

The Holy Infant Goddess also frowned.

"Don't worry, whoever made the move won't survive until today."

Before my Holy Infant Sect, unless he has already reached the initial stage of True Qi, he will only face certain death!

She hates surprises.

Especially at this crucial moment.
