and a middle-aged man in a suit rushed over, followed by an employee."Zhang... Zhang Zong" Upon seeing the middle-aged man, all the service staff exclaimed in surprise.This person, she's the top boss...[]

Oh!

The judge slammed on the brakes. "Brother, what's wrong"

Phew!

Almost as soon as the Land Rover came to a stop, a figure dashed towards it at top speed from afar.

The entire person was covered in wounds, his breath weak and labored.

"Black public!" After recognizing the person, the judge shouted out loudly.

The one who arrived was none other than Yuan Hua, the former East District Inspector of Yingmen, who had taken on the alias Li Kai!

Bang!

Ling Hao pushed open the car door and got out. Lu Yue and the Judge followed closely behind.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Just as the three of them got off the car, a sound of footsteps arose, and four men wearing masks rushed over.

All of them were skilled fighters, two of whom possessed the strength of late-stage War Gods, while the remaining two had already reached the peak of the Warlord realm.

"Die!" one of the War Gods looked at Yuan Hua and said in a low voice.

As he spoke, the man had rushed to Yuan Hua's rear, not far away, and then raised his hand to unleash a ferocious gust of energy, carrying with it the power of shattering mountains. Yuan Hua was slammed against it.

"You're asking for death!" Ling Hao frowned, his figure flashing out rapidly. A wave of air swept out from his palm simultaneously.

Boom!

A deafening roar echoed, and the resulting shockwave snapped several trees along the road in half, sending their leaves swirling into the air.

Pfft!

Next, the masked man on the other side flew out like a fallen leaf, flying for forty or fifty meters before crashing heavily to the ground, kicking his legs and losing his breath.

"Hmm!" Upon seeing this, the remaining three on the other side were stunned at once, apparently not expecting Ling Hao to have such strength.

"Damn it!" the other war god roared, "Who are you"

"Ling... Ling Shuai..." Yuan Hua had run to the front of Ling Hao by this time, said a few words before falling headlong and fainting on the ground with his eyes rolling back in his head.

"Are you Ling Shuai!" The three of them shouted in unison upon hearing this, "You... are you Ling Shuai!"

Whew! Whew! Whew!

Next, without the slightest hesitation, he rushed to the side at incredible speed.

The mere presence of Ren Ming and Shù Yǐng cast a long shadow. Just the sight of these two names was enough to crush their spirits, leaving them utterly devoid of any fighting spirit.

"Can you escape!" Lu Yue and the Judge chased after him at the same time.

"Leave one alive!" Ling Hao's voice rang out.

After checking on him, he went to Yuan Hua's side to examine his injuries.

Not long after, her brow furrowed slightly. Yuan Hua's old injury had just healed when he sustained a new one, and the new injury was equally severe.

Without a second thought, he quickly helped Yuan Hua into the car and then took out his silver needles from his pocket to treat his wounds.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Nine silver needles shot towards Yuan Hua like they possessed a spirit, piercing into his body one by one.

After the nine needles were in place, Ling Hao reached out and pressed his hand on his heart. At the same time, a powerful stream of true qi flowed into him.

"Um..." After a moment, Yuan Hua woke up and looked at Ling Hao with an embarrassed face: "Thank you, Ling Shao, I..."

"You must have been ambushed while trying to break the mirror, right" Ling Hao interrupted him.

"Mm!" Yuan Hua nodded in response. "Last time, with your help, my injury healed almost completely within about ten days."

Although I've been staying in that village these past three years, I've never slacked off on my cultivation for a single day.

Although his cultivation was greatly hindered due to his injuries, over three years he had still accumulated some progress.

“Because my injuries hadn't healed before, I didn't dare to try. After you treated me, I wanted to give it a shot. But just at the crucial moment, they showed up.”

"Hmm!" Ling Hao nodded.

“Just stay silent now, relax your whole body, and hand over control of your inner qi to me. I’ll lend you a helping hand!”

"Hmm" Yuan Hua's eyes lit up, and he quickly nodded. "Thank you, Ling Shuai!"

Whew!

Ling Hao took a deep breath, and the true qi in his palm surged again, rising to another level. Like a flood bursting its banks, it poured entirely into Yuan Hua's body.

"Hmm..." Yuan Hua frowned slightly, a trace of pain flashing across his brow.

He felt several powerful waves of pressure constantly assaulting his meridians, and the force grew stronger with each wave, as if he were undergoing a baptism of his energy channels.

Even as he endured excruciating pain, a glimmer of hope flickered within him. He sensed that Ling Hao was attempting to mend his shattered spirit, and he seemed to catch a glimpse of the light beyond the cracks.

"Sink your qi to the dantian, and guard the Baihui and Qihei!" Not long after, Ling Hao spoke again.

"Good!" Yuan Hua nodded vigorously.

After about twenty minutes, Ling Hao removed his hand and withdrew the silver needles one by one: "Alright, circulate your Qi for two cycles on your own."

"Mmm!" Yuan Hua's eyes flashed with a hint of joy.

He had vaguely sensed that the true qi within his body had surged by several levels. If his estimation was correct, it was very possible that he had truly succeeded in breaking through the mirror.

Without a second thought, he hastily urged his heart method to channel true energy circulating throughout his body.

Boom!

For about a quarter of an hour, a vast and mighty aura, like the Yellow River breaking its banks, erupted from Yuan Hua. The aura of a War Venerable was unmistakable.

As he had guessed, with Ling Hao's help, he truly stepped into the War Zun realm!

Plop!

Overjoyed, Yuan Hua stood up and knelt on one knee before Ling Hao.

"Yuan Hua, the district magistrate of Yuanyingmen East District, bows to salute the governor!" Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

"Get up!" Ling Hao raised his hand.

"Greetings, Duke Shuai!" Yuan Hua replied loudly.

After getting up, I bowed deeply to Ling Hao once more: "Thank you, General, for your great assistance!"

"Just a trifle, no need for ceremony!" Ling Hao raised his hand again.

"A few days ago, in that village, due to special circumstances, we failed to recognize each other. Please do not blame me, General!" Yuan Hua continued.

"I understand!" Ling Hao smiled faintly.

At the same time, Judge and Lu Yue walked back.

"Big brother, all those ruffians committed suicide. Not a single one survived!" The judge said with a hint of anger.

"As expected!" Ling Hao replied.

"Yuan Hua has met the Judge and Deputy Commander Lu!" Yuan Hua bowed slightly to the two men.

"Well, well! You finally admit who you are" The Judge glared at Yuan Hua.

"I'm sorry, it was unavoidable before. Please forgive me, Lord Judge!" Yuan Hua gave an awkward smile.

"Not bad, you broke through to the War Venerable realm" Lu Yue sensed the other party's aura and said in slight surprise.

"All thanks to the Marshal's help!" Yuan Hua responded.

"Alright, let's talk somewhere else!" Ling Hao said before turning and walking towards his car.

Half an hour later, several people arrived at a branch of the Dongzhou Shadow Gate.

"Thanks again, Ling Shuai!" After they arrived in a guest lounge, Yuan Hua bowed deeply to Ling Hao.

"Have a seat!" Ling Hao came to the sofa and sat down.

"Thank you!" Yuanhua nodded in response.

"Black Official, now we should be able to talk about what happened back then, right" After the Judge took his seat, he looked at Yuan Hua and spoke.

Whew!

Yuan Hua let out a long, heavy sigh, his eyes fixed ahead, his thoughts drifting back to three years ago.diers!"Ah..." Just then, a cry of surprise erupted from the restaurant.Next, a large number of diners rushed out from the door, each with terrified faces.Whew!Ling Hao's eyes narrowed, and his figure...
