177: Chapter 177 This is outrageous!
The wine jars were all in a small room. To be safe, Ji Hongfei carefully added poison to these already opened jars of wine.
This poison was the Nine Nether Soul-Snatching Poison, enough to kill an Earth Rank cultivator.
After adding the poison, Ji Hongfei quickly left the room to avoid being discovered.
Before long, the Earth Rank Golden Horn Clan members finished the wine in their hands and clamored for more.
Consequently, under Ji Hongfei's expectant gaze, they brought over a few more jars of wine, drinking while bragging.
"Using poison is not this General's style. These Golden Horn Clan members died of alcohol poisoning!" Ji Hongfei consoled himself internally, though if drinking alcohol could truly kill an Earth Rank cultivator, it would be laughable.
Soon, they had all consumed the wine. Before long, one of the Earth Rank Golden Horn Clan members screamed, startling those around him.
"Jin Ping, what's wrong?" Jin Ping was a big, fat man who had drunk an exceptionally large amount of wine, so he was the first to succumb.
The next second, blood began to flow from Jin Ping's seven orifices. Suddenly, all the Golden Horn Clan members sobered up and shouted, "Poison!"
A pile of antidotes was rummaged out, and they desperately stuffed pills into their mouths. However, facing a Heaven Rank poison, this was futile, and soon they were rolling on the ground in pain.
Soon, all these Earth Rank Golden Horn Clan members died, bleeding from their seven orifices.
After confirming they were all dead, Ji Hongfei immediately walked out, collected the bodies, ran to the stone wall from before, and pushed with all his might.
However, even with Ji Hongfei's strength, his face flushed red, but he couldn't budge the stone wall in the slightest.
"Brute force is ineffective; there must be a mechanism."
Immediately, Ji Hongfei took out a handful of beans and scattered them on the ground. One by one, small and cute Bean Soldiers appeared.
"Go press everything!" Upon receiving Ji Hongfei's order, the Bean Soldiers scattered, hopping around in different places.
With the help of over a hundred Bean Soldiers, Ji Hongfei soon saw the ground beneath one of the Bean Soldiers collapse, and at that moment, a Bean Soldier climbing the wall discovered a hidden compartment.
Both hidden compartments were pressed simultaneously, and the stone wall emitted an unpleasant grinding sound as it slowly opened.
With a wave of his hand, he recalled all the Bean Soldiers, and Ji Hongfei flashed into the secret room.
Upon entering the secret room, he saw many night-luminescent pearls hanging around, illuminating the entire space.
The layout of the secret room was very simple. Looking around, on both sides of the room, suits of armor stood menacingly, shimmering with a cold light; at a glance, one could tell they were no ordinary objects.
In the center of the secret room was a battle flag. Ji Hongfei walked over and grabbed the battle flag.
"Why is a treasure that has a connection to me only of Yellow Rank quality?" Ji Hongfei was somewhat puzzled. However, although this item was of low quality, it was, after all, a battle flag, which fit the status of a General perfectly. After thinking about it, Ji Hongfei placed it directly into his space ring.
Afterward, he looked at the armor and said, "This can be used by this General's troops. Take it!"
Subsequently, he also collected the armor into his space ring.

Chi Anlin continued searching for treasures. Twenty minutes had passed, and only the final ten minutes remained.
Although he had obtained quite a few good things, the main purpose of coming to Tianming City this time was to find the treasury of Tianming City.
The Heavens Mandate King had not told anyone the location of the treasury, and the hidden location was extremely concealed, causing various experts to nearly turn all of Tianming City upside down without finding it.
He had intended to capture the descendants of the Heavens Mandate King to interrogate them about the whereabouts of the treasury, but after circling around and hearing the Golden Horn Clan members discussing it, Chi Anlin learned that the Heavens Mandate King's children had long since been abducted by various Generals, their life or death unknown.
In Tianming City, there were a total of three Heaven Rank Experts, and about twenty Earth Rank experts.
It could be said that the overall strength of one city was even stronger than that of an average university.
One must know that not all universities possess King Rank cultivators.
After searching some more, Chi Anlin sighed; it was time to return.
What Chi Anlin did not know was that at this moment, an old man with thick eyebrows and large eyes was grabbing a Heaven Rank Golden Horn General by the neck and shaking him frantically: "Speak! Where exactly did that old guy, the Heavens Mandate King, hide the treasury!"
The treasury of Tianming City! Even he was covetous.
If it were discovered by these little guys, it would be difficult for him to go in and seize it.
Every time he went on an adventure with the Water Moon King, they would inexplicably be chased by a large group of otherworld cultivators. In the end, it was fine if he didn't get anything, but he would also end up covered in injuries.
Having finally come out on his own, he also wanted to get some good things to take back and make that guy, the Water Moon King, envious.
While the Beacon Fire King was interrogating the Golden Horn General about the location of the treasury, on the other side, the Water Moon King was flying in the sky, feeling very weary.
Below, Chi Xueyue was using her movement technique to flee. Behind her were more than a dozen Earth Rank Golden Horn Clan members, and among them, two were even at the peak of the Earth Rank!
Facing the pursuit of these Golden Horn Clan members, Chi Xueyue didn't even look back. Just a moment ago, she had infiltrated a Royal City and had even seen a Spirit Stone Mine.
However, there were several Heaven Rank Experts guarding the Spirit Stone Mine. In order not to let others benefit, she used the Flame Phoenix Fire and directly ignited the Spirit Stone Mine.
Subsequently, the entire Royal City exploded, leaving her somewhat dumbfounded; the power was truly immense.
If it weren't for the battle armor on her body, she would likely have been killed by the shockwave.
These Earth Rank cultivators were the lucky ones who hadn't entered the city yet. Seeing their homes blown up and their wives and children killed, they all rushed over to hunt her down.
"The Golden Horn Clan is too intolerable!" Chi Xueyue was so angry she felt her lungs would explode. When had she ever suffered such grievances!
The various Golden Horn Clan members behind her heard her words and were immediately furious. Who was being intolerable! They had just gone out for a trip, and when they returned, their homes were gone!
Ordinary cultivators, upon seeing a Spirit Mine, would surely think of digging for spirit stones. This person, on the other hand, had actually blown it up directly!
Moreover, ordinary flames couldn't ignite this Spirit Stone Mine. Someone with sharp eyes noticed that Chi Xueyue was also a War Body.
"Don't kill her, capture her! Perhaps we can trade her for a chance to go to the Tianjiao Realm..."
Hearing this, Chi Xueyue's eyes lit up. If they weren't going for the kill, that was even better. Consequently, she started attacking while running.
She was now a Great Success War Body, and her own combat power had reached its peak. In a one-on-one situation, she feared no one!
Consequently, Chi Xueyue saw the overwhelming attacks, activated her battle armor, and took to her heels.
While running, she saw members of the Three Kings Society. Her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly shouted: "Classmate Mo! Let's join forces to kill these bastards!"
Mo Changkong, the President of the Three Kings Society, saw Chi Xueyue and turned his head, preparing to leave; this person was someone he couldn't afford to provoke right now.
But upon hearing Chi Xueyue's next words, Mo Changkong's expression changed. Chi Xueyue flashed directly past him, and the next second, more than a dozen Earth Rank Golden Horn Clan members appeared before his eyes.
