146: Chapter 146 Xue Fang led his troops to surrender

Wei Zhenjiang lowered his head slightly and said in a deep voice, "Reporting to the State Preceptor, my son was ambushed by a warlock and struck by the Soul Curse Technique. I have heard that the State Preceptor is also a warlock, and I hope the State Preceptor can offer assistance. I will certainly be eternally grateful!"

"Soul Curse Technique?" A glint of light flashed in the eyes beneath the State Preceptor's bronze mask.

Ever since she obtained the Warlock Legacy and cultivated to the Dharma Form Realm.

She had always been curious as to why the lineage of warlocks had fallen into such decline.

After some investigation, she had found several reasons.

First, it was the Aptitude.

To become a warlock, one must possess a powerful Divine Soul to even enter the door.

If one's Divine Soul is weak and they force themselves to Cultivate, not only will they be unable to enter the door in their lifetime, but they might even damage their Divine Soul.

The threshold of the Divine Soul alone blocked countless people.

If compared to the Dao of Martial Arts.

Among 100 people, only one can be selected who possesses the talent to enter the ranks.

Then, among 100,000 people, one might not even be able to find a single person with the talent of a warlock.

Secondly, there was the matter of cultivation resources.

I do not know when it began, but cultivation resources related to the Divine Soul have become increasingly scarce.

Without sufficient cultivation resources to support them, unless one is a peerless genius, they cannot Breakthrough to the Middle Three Realms.

Only by breaking through to the Middle Three Realms can one extend their lifespan.

For the few remaining warlocks in the world, being able to Cultivate to the Condensation Realm is already considered quite remarkable.

Wanting to Breakthrough to the Dan Soul Realm is almost impossible.

Third, there was the severance of the warlock's cultivation Legacy.

For some unknown reason, or perhaps due to some great upheaval.

Many warlock Legacies were severed. Even she, the State Preceptor, could only Cultivate the Cultivation Technique to the Dharma Form Realm.

It was precisely because of these three reasons that there are fewer and fewer warlocks in the world.

Therefore, upon hearing that someone could cast the Medium Grade warlock technique, the Soul Curse Technique, the State Preceptor was also very curious.

"Let's go, this Seat will go and take a look!"

Hearing the State Preceptor's words, Wei Zhenjiang was immediately overjoyed: "State Preceptor, please!"

Soon.

Wei Zhenjiang led the State Preceptor to the Weiwu Marquis Mansion.

And they saw the unconscious Young Marquis.

"Indeed, it is truly the Soul Curse Technique!"

With just a glance, the State Preceptor determined that Young Marquis Wei Wuji had been struck by the Soul Curse Technique.

"I implore the State Preceptor to save my child!"

Wei Zhenjiang suddenly knelt on one knee, his eyes filled with pleading.

"Marquis, please rise. This Seat will offer assistance!"

"Thank you, State Preceptor!"

Marquis Weiwu said gratefully, and rose accordingly.

The State Preceptor casually pinched a spell, and then a streak of green light submerged into Young Marquis Wei Wuji's head.

After a while, the State Preceptor withdrew the green light and said to Marquis Weiwu, "This Seat has dispelled the Soul Curse from his Divine Soul. Have the doctor prescribe him some medicine to calm the spirit and nourish the brain; he should wake up soon!"

"Thank you, State Preceptor!" Wei Zhenjiang was overjoyed and hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

Meanwhile, in Linjiang Prefecture.

Fierce Tiger Gang, General Hall.

Chen Hu's expression faltered slightly, for he sensed that his Soul Curse Technique had been broken.

However, he was not very surprised.

The capital is the heart of the country, after all, and full of talented people.

It is not strange that someone could break his Soul Curse Technique.

However, Young Marquis Wei Wuji was ambushed in Linjiang Prefecture.

It is estimated that the Weiwu Marquis Mansion will not let this matter rest.

Young Marquis Wei Wuji had an accident in the Prefect's backyard; I wonder if Prefect Yang Ze will be implicated?

But Chen Hu did not care; who told Prefect Yang Ze to be such a greedy official.

Even if his family were raided and wiped out, he would deserve it.

Time flew, and it was noon.

Chen Hu got up, left the office, and went home for lunch.

As for the current state of the Fierce Tiger Gang, he liked it very much.

Mainly because they had tasted the sweetness of the faction BUFF, everyone was working hard to Cultivate and improve their strength.

Likewise, the women in the household were the same.

They put a lot of effort into cultivation every day.

Nourished by spirit rice and spirit spring water, plus the bonus of the faction BUFF, their cultivation improved incredibly fast.

A wonderful lunch ended.

Chen Hu lay on a chair sunbathing; anyway, there was nothing going on at the Fierce Tiger Gang, so it didn't matter if he went over a bit later.

After a while.

He received a message from Ye Fan via the sound transmission gu.

It indicated that he had already saved Xue Fang and informed him that the person who assassinated him was sent by Sect Leader Chen Qiu.

For this, Xue Fang was both terrified and angry.

And he expressed that he wanted to defect to the Fierce Tiger Gang as soon as possible.

Then, Ye Fan specifically asked Chen Hu for instructions.

After a slight ponder, Chen Hu instructed Ye Fan to let Xue Fang lead his subordinates who were willing to turn over a new leaf and directly defect from the Iron Blade Sect to join the Fierce Tiger Gang.

To prevent Sect Leader Chen Qiu from bringing people to attack, Ye Fan could temporarily stay there to oversee things.

After ending the call with Chen Hu.

Ye Fan returned to Xue Fang: "Hall Master Xue, I have already consulted our Gang Leader. The Gang Leader suggests that you directly defect from the Iron Blade Sect and join our Fierce Tiger Gang. To prevent Sect Leader Chen Qiu from acting out of desperation, I can stay here to oversee things!"

"Alright, I agree!"

Xue Fang said without hesitation. Sect Leader Chen Qiu had already sent someone to assassinate him. If Ye Fan had not saved him, he would certainly have been slaughtered by Sect Leader Chen Qiu as an example to the others.

He already had thoughts of betrayal, and Sect Leader Chen Qiu's assassination attempt only strengthened them.

So, in the following moments, Xue Fang immediately gathered everyone in the hall.

And announced on the spot that they were leaving the Iron Blade Sect to join the Fierce Tiger Gang.

Originally, Xue Fang thought that a small portion of people would definitely jump out to oppose him.

He never expected.

Actually, not a single person opposed. For this, Xue Fang was quite gratified, thinking his prestige was high enough.

But in fact, these members of the Iron Blade Sect were not stupid. The neighboring Fierce Tiger Gang had a Marrow Refining powerhouse sitting in charge. Besides that, Ye Fan was also in the Bone Refining Realm, and Leader Gao Zhan had also broken through to the Bone Refining Realm.

Could the Fierce Tiger Gang, with one Marrow Refining and two Bone Refining experts in charge, tolerate the Iron Blade Sect next door?

Obviously not.

Therefore, the Fierce Tiger Gang would sooner or later attack the Iron Blade Sect.

Instead of waiting for the Fierce Tiger Gang to attack and then surrendering, it was better to defect now and gain some advantage.

What's more, they had heard that the Fierce Tiger Gang sold qi and blood pills and essence blood pills to their own people at low prices.

Although the qi and blood pill was only one tael of silver cheaper, and the essence blood pill was only two taels of silver cheaper.

But if one only bought the qi and blood pill, saving one tael a month meant 12 taels a year; this was not a small amount.

At the same time, it also allowed those members with financial difficulties who could not afford qi and blood pills to try and purchase Medicinal Pill to Cultivate.

It was precisely because of these situations that Xue Fang's subordinates did not object.

"Very good!"

Seeing that everyone did not object, Xue Fang was quite happy in his heart. With an order, he immediately ordered people to carry out a box of silver.

Ordinary members received two taels of silver each, big leaders received five taels of silver each, and small leaders received three taels of silver each.

Because Sect Leader Chen Qiu worried about his hall masters becoming too powerful.

Therefore, Xue Fang only had about 60 people under his command.

Two taels each was 120 taels, plus the three big leaders at five taels each, and the six small leaders at three taels each, totaling less than 160 taels of silver.

After distributing the silver.

Xue Fang pointed at Ye Fan and introduced him: "Let me introduce you all. This is Hall Master Ye Fan of the Fierce Tiger Gang, a powerhouse in the Late Stage of the Bone Refining Realm. From now on, Hall Master Ye will stay at our hall to oversee things!"

Hearing that Ye Fan would stay to oversee things, everyone present was overjoyed.

Because of Xue Fang's sudden defection.

Chen Hu could no longer stay at home.

Instead, he headed to the General Hall, called Hall Master Yang Siyou, and asked him to take people to Xue Fang's side to register the members who had defected.

Then, he summoned two other hall masters and asked them to bring some people to support Xue Fang.
