For the next three days.
Gu Qingfeng did not go to the Golden Bull Martial Arts School. Instead, he silently refined the blood refinement pill, hoping to break through to the Refining Blood Realm as soon as possible.
However.
Although the blood refinement pill is powerful.
The Breakthrough from the Skin Refinement Realm to the Refining Blood Realm is not something that can be crossed in a short time.
After refining three blood refinement pills within three days, Gu Qingfeng could clearly feel that his cultivation had reached the limit of the Skin Refinement Realm. He was only one opportunity away from completing that great transformation.
However, this step of transformation is not that easy to achieve.
If he were given a few more days, Gu Qingfeng would have a greater certainty of breaking through to the Refining Blood Realm.
But now.
He did not have that much time.
Because today was the day agreed upon with Xu Jun.
With the other instructors from the Martial Arts School serving as bait, the probability of leaving Lin County was much higher. Without Xu Jun and the others, even if he broke through to the Refining Blood Realm, Gu Qingfeng was not confident that he could leave Lin County safely.
Indeed.
After understanding Xu Jun's intentions, Gu Qingfeng had the same plan as him.
Xu Jun regarded him and the other instructors as bait, and he also had the same idea about the other party.
In this chaotic world, death is a common occurrence.
In the past thirty years, Gu Qingfeng had seen no small number of dead people, so he naturally did not have much feeling about it.
Immediately.
Gu Qingfeng simply packed his bags. In fact, there wasn't much to take with him. The only thing he needed to take was some silver.
Then.
He took Gu Yang and went out.
Compared to three days ago, a faint bloody mist could now be seen lingering in the sky above Lin County. Pedestrians and common people all had worried and panicked expressions, but it had not yet reached the point of chaos.
Gu Qingfeng did not want to care about so much now. He just wanted to leave Lin County as soon as possible. After all, the bloody mist had already appeared in the sky, and no one could guarantee when new changes would occur.
However, when Gu Yang saw the bloody mist, a look of curiosity appeared in his bright big eyes.
"Dad, what is that?"
"You don't need to worry about these things. You just need to remember to stay close to me."
Gu Qingfeng instructed seriously, and Gu Yang nodded as if he understood.
Not long after.
The two arrived at the Golden Bull Martial Arts School.
But when he saw the Martial Arts School as usual, Gu Qingfeng frowned slightly. The more normal the scene was, the more it represented abnormality.
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Gu Qingfeng was led by a Martial Arts School Disciple to the Martial Arts School hall. The instructors from a few days ago and Xu Jun were all here.
Seeing Gu Qingfeng's arrival, Xu Jun stood up to greet him warmly.
"Instructor Gu is here!"
"Greetings, Hall Master. Today, my son and I have come as agreed, but looking at everyone's expressions, are you not planning to leave Lin County?"
Gu Qingfeng first cupped his hands in return. After taking his seat, he looked at Xu Jun and the others and said with displeasure.
As his voice fell.
Many instructors showed strange expressions.
Only Xu Jun forced a smile on his face and said helplessly, "Instructor Gu, you don't know. Just yesterday, people from the Demon Suppression Division came and ordered all the common people to stay in the county town and not leave.
As for the issue of Evil beings, they will be the ones to solve it."
"Demon Suppression Division?"
Gu Qingfeng's expression changed slightly.
Without him asking, Xu Jun answered in a timely manner: "Instructor Gu, you don't know. The Demon Suppression Division is a mysterious organization of the Imperial Court. Its main purpose is to deal with Evil beings in various places.
Anyone who can enter the Demon Suppression Division is not to be underestimated in strength.
Now that people from the Demon Suppression Division have intervened, the Evil beings in Lin County should not be a problem.
In that case, we don't need to risk leaving Lin County. We can just wait until the Demon Suppression Division solves the Evil beings.
What's more, the order that everyone is not allowed to leave is from the Demon Suppression Division, and we dare not disobey it. Otherwise, if we really anger the experts of the Demon Suppression Division, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Xu Jun's words also made the other instructors nod in agreement.
Who would want to take risks when they can live safely?
Since the Demon Suppression Division is the organization of the Imperial Court that deals with Evil beings, they can wait until the Demon Suppression Division solves the Evil beings.
Moreover.
Leaving Lin County is equivalent to offending the Demon Suppression Division.
It is best not to provoke such an organization belonging to the Imperial Court.
Xu Jun's words also made Gu Qingfeng understand what the current situation was.
Subsequently.
He did not say much and left with Gu Yang.
...
"Cultivate well!"
Returning to their residence, Gu Qingfeng instructed Gu Yang and then returned to his room to prepare to refine the blood refinement pill again, hoping to speed up his Breakthrough to the Refining Blood Realm.
The arrival of the Demon Suppression Division gave him a feeling of unease.
It wasn't that Gu Qingfeng didn't trust the Demon Suppression Division, but everything was too coincidental.
As Xu Jun said before, Lin County is not a big place, and its terrain is remote. It is a small county town, and it is blocked by bloody mist, so news cannot be transmitted at all.
As a result, the bloody mist only appeared for a few days, and people from the Demon Suppression Division immediately came, which was really too coincidental.
Too coincidental!
Often, it is not a coincidence!
There is also one more point.
That is, the Demon Suppression Division ordered all the common people not to leave Lin County, which also made Gu Qingfeng feel something was wrong.
If it was just this order alone, there would naturally be no problem.
But combined with the previous events and the current order, Gu Qingfeng understood that things were definitely not as simple as Xu Jun said.
The purpose of the Demon Suppression Division is somewhat intriguing.
However.
Gu Qingfeng only thought about these things in his heart and did not say them out loud.
Speaking too much with someone you don't know well is the most taboo thing.
Although Gu Qingfeng had been an instructor at the Golden Bull Martial Arts School for several years, he only had a superficial relationship with Xu Jun and the other instructors. Of course, he could not directly tell them these thoughts.
If the Demon Suppression Division really had another purpose, and someone spread this idea to the ears of the Demon Suppression Division, then he would be looking for trouble for himself.
Therefore.
Gu Qingfeng did not tell anyone.
At the same time, he also confirmed one thing, which was that he could not stay in Lin County any longer.
"I can't rely on the people from the Golden Bull Martial Arts School. To leave Lin County, I still have to rely on myself. After all, everything is a matter of strength.
If I were a Martial Artist in the Refining Blood Realm or above, then many problems would not be problems.
The most crucial thing at the moment is to break through to the Refining Blood Realm first. Although I don't know how strong the people from the Demon Suppression Division are, if they can make Xu Jun, who is at Refining Skin Perfection, so wary, their strength is probably extraordinary."
With this thought in mind.
Gu Qingfeng discarded the distracting thoughts in his heart, then swallowed a blood refinement pill and began to refine the power of the pill, forcefully attempting to break through to a higher Realm.
