After hearing from Dian Chunqiu and Wang Baichuan, Li Qing suddenly felt an immense pressure like a mountain bearing down on him.

"You guys have sent several groups of people, but none of them could figure out the problem with this demon-haunted spot, yet you expect a greenhorn like me to check it out."

"What are you guys thinking?"

"Are you perhaps too confident in me?"

"I’m just a rookie!"

As Li Qing was grumbling to himself, he suddenly noticed Dian Chunqiu beside him and couldn’t help but give a wry smile.

"How foolish of me."

"Even if I can’t handle it, there’s still someone to fall back on. What’s there to fear?"

"Shall we go check out that place first?" Li Qing asked.

Dian Chunqiu nodded.

Subsequently, the four of them took two cars and rushed toward the He Wang Reservoir.

Li Qing was still riding in Dian Chunqiu’s car.

On the way, Dian Chunqiu said, "Don’t be overly concerned, just act on whatever you think of, don’t worry too much about the consequences."

Li Qing nodded, but inside he couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

Do I have any other tricks up my sleeve?

Apart from using Thunder to purge the land, it seems I don’t know any other methods.

Well, this should still be considered pulling out the big guns.

After all, his Thunder Method was very powerful.

Their cars drove through the dark night for over half an hour before finally arriving at the He Wang Reservoir, located to the southwest of Tongcheng.

The four of them took a hike up the mountain and after a while, Li Qing finally saw the vast reservoir.

Under the pitch-black night, the He Wang Reservoir looked like a colossal abyss, emitting waves of an aura that made one’s heart tremble.

Li Qing didn’t need to use any techniques like Qi vision to sense the thick and eerie atmosphere of that place.

"Xiao Li, see if there’s anything that needs assistance, and let Xiao Wang help you out," Director Jia said.

Li Qing glanced at Dian Chunqiu, shook his head, and walked toward the edge of the reservoir.

He didn’t rush to take action, but rather calmed his mind to feel the reservoir in front of him with his intent.

Last time at Zhu Yai State, he’d succeeded in Qi Transformation by contemplating the vast aura of the sea and the sunset.

He wanted to try if he could discover something by comprehending in this manner.

Li Qing held his breath and focused, sinking his mind into his Dantian and then slowly looked up at the reservoir with his mind’s eye.

Suddenly, an endless cacophony of piercing sounds assaulted him from all directions.

It was as if numerous icy arrows were darting toward Li Qing in an instant.

Black Arrow, attuned to Li Qing’s intention, whizzed into place above his head.

The arrow’s cry was like a tiger roaring through the mountains and woods, letting out a sharp sound.

A look of surprise appeared on Dian Chunqiu’s face as he slowly stepped forward a half step.

"Director Dian, what is Xiao Li doing?" Director Jia asked curiously.

Although he was completely clueless, he was greatly shaken.

Wang Baichuan was also looking at Dian Chunqiu with a surprised and curious gaze, waiting for his answer.

The fact that Li Qing had suddenly become a member of Section Nine had already shocked him.

On the way here, he had been thinking that even if Li Qing had joined Section Nine by chance, he must be just an intern.

The one who would really solve these old cases in Tongcheng must still be Dian Chunqiu, with Li Qing just assisting on the side and learning by chance.

But the moment Li Qing stood there, he felt a difference.

Especially when Black Arrow emerged, that terrifyingly hostile aura made him tense up involuntarily.

This didn’t seem like the makings of an intern.

"He is guarding his Dantian with his intent, immersing himself to probe the reality of this place," Dian Chunqiu said.

"Oh... listening to this, sounds pretty impressive," Director Jia said somewhat awkwardly.

He didn’t understand at all.

Though he didn’t understand, he was greatly shaken.

"Director Dian, is Li Qing really confident about handling this place all by himself?" Wang Baichuan asked somewhat uneasily.

Dian Chunqiu smiled, "Although he’s a newcomer to Bureau Nine, even I might not gain any advantage against him. If I can’t get close to him, I might be struck dead by that kid."

"With him guarding Tongcheng, this place will probably become a forbidden grounds for evil spirits."

Director Jia was so shocked that his mouth hung open, "Director Dian is just being polite, right?"

Wang Baichuan was also somewhat stunned.

Li Qing was that formidable, to the extent that even one of the deputy directors of Bureau Nine might not be able to defeat him?

This kid, pretending to be so honest and upright before, was actually hiding such vicious moves behind their backs?!

Damn, you really can’t trust honest people in this world.

Standing on the brink, Li Qing suddenly spat out a series of abstruse and incomprehensible syllables.

Instantly, dazzling purple lightning illuminated the entire sky.

Countless dense bolts of purple thunder surged down into the reservoir, making the calm water surface boil as if agitated.

Director Jia and Wang Baichuan’s eyes instantly bulged.

Their expressions were as if they had seen a ghost.

They finally understood why Dian Chunqiu had said what he did.

With such dense lightning, killing a person would probably be as simple as playing.

"Is Li Qing’s strength really that strong?" Wang Baichuan muttered in disbelief.

"His specialty is Sky Thunder Striking, and the Thunder Method he controls is probably the fastest in this world," Dian Chunqiu said with a smile.

"Don’t look down on him just because he’s a new recruit at Bureau Nine. With him guarding Tongcheng, you’ll definitely have much less trouble in the future."

Director Jia and Wang Baichuan nodded blankly in unison.

Who would be joking, given such a shocking and spectacular scene? They wouldn’t dare to underestimate it!

Rolling purple lightning surged down, making the entire reservoir seem as if it had flipped over.

Series of ghastly wails rose up from beneath the reservoir, and dim, blurred figures seemed to be visible.

Li Qing’s gaze suddenly sharpened.

These must be the wronged souls who died unjustly in the reservoir.

Li Qing silently said sorry in his heart, and Black Arrow made a sharp sound as it instantly flew out.

The black arrow, like lightning, streaked through the water.

Those ferocious and horrifying Yin Souls, entwined in the purple lightning, could not withstand a strike from Black Arrow and were devoured.

Suddenly, a sharp and mournful scream erupted from the depths of the lake.

Following that, a white figure emerged from the mud,

Too far away, Li Qing couldn’t see its features clearly, but he distinctly felt those malicious eyes.

"Wretched beast, you still dare to harbor resentment, die!"

Li Qing, stared at by that gaze, instantly became furious.

"Array!"

He uttered a deep shout, casting nine Heavenly Punishments in one breath.

Up close, Li Qing had seen the endless grievances of those wronged souls.

This instigator, instead of quietly tucking its tail, dared to harbor hate towards him, igniting Li Qing’s rage to the extreme.

Crack!

Bursts of white lightning descended from the sky in an instant.

The white lightning, as thick as bowls, struck the reservoir continuously, causing the entire mountain top to shake violently without pause.

The waterspouts were split so high that they skyrocketed dozens of meters.
