253: Chapter 253 Preparing for Rebellion

Afterward, Chen Hu silently took out a good luck card.

He silently chanted "Activate."

He gained five times good luck.

He then took out a martial arts cultivation card and activated it.

He gained 100 days of cultivation.

After choosing to use it,

the 100 days of cultivation merged into his Dantian, causing Chen Hu's Sacred Origin to increase by another three drops.

Next, Chen Hu activated all his resource cards at once.

He obtained some decent prizes.

He then took out a Spell card and activated it.

He obtained a top-grade Spell—Earth Sink.

After casting this Spell, it could cause the ground within a three-kilometer radius to sink directly.

Used on the battlefield, it was absolutely a lethal Spell.

With a single strike, it could even wipe out the opponent's entire army.

He activated a soul weapon card and obtained a top-grade soul weapon—the flying dragon boat.

This flying dragon boat could reach a top speed of 3,000 li per hour and could carry 3,000 people.

The key was that this flying dragon boat could use either Soul Power or soul crystals as energy.

As long as the flying dragon boat's core energy source was filled with Soul Power, it could fly continuously for thirty days.

"Not bad!"

Chen Hu nodded to himself and stored the flying dragon boat into his Primordial Spirit.

He activated a connection card and obtained a Ding-grade connection.

He chose to discard it directly.

He activated an identity card.

The identity he obtained this time was a Bone Refining Realm Martial Artist from Cangnan Province.

After reading the other person's memories,

Chen Hu gained a certain understanding of Cangnan Province.

Cangnan Province was located in the south of the Great Yong Kingdom, separated from the Great Yong capital by over ten thousand li.

Therefore, the Great Yong Court's influence on Cangnan Province was very weak.

Thus, if the Great Yong Kingdom wanted to rule the Cangnan tribes, it had to rely on the influence of the eighteen Southern Barbarian tribes.

Over eighty percent of the population in Cangnan Province were barbarians.

These barbarians did not recognize the imperial court, only their own tribal leaders.

Moreover, Cangnan Province was full of forests and poisonous miasma.

As long as those barbarians hid in the forests, the imperial army could do nothing about them.

And since those barbarians grew up in the forests from childhood, the poisonous miasma was, to them, a barrier against the government soldiers.

Yet, the imperial court was unwilling to give up Cangnan Province.

Because the forests in Cangnan Province meant an abundance of Spirit Medicine.

In desperation, the court had no choice but to cooperate with the eighteen barbarian tribes.

After switching back to his identity,

Chen Hu continued to activate cards.

This time, he activated a troop card and obtained 1,000 Tier 6 Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and 1,000 Tier 6 Black Armor Cavalry.

"Damn, Tier 6 corresponds to Organ Refining, doesn't that mean I have two thousand Organ Refining Realm cavalry!"

Chen Hu exclaimed.

Chen Hu decided that once he stepped into the Hunyuan Martial Saint realm, he would officially rebel.

As for whether he would become the primary target of the Great Yong Court, he was not afraid at all.

Afterward,

Chen Hu took out two enlightenment cards.

He locked them to the Heavenly Thunder Curse and Earth Sink and used them.

Very quickly, Chen Hu fully mastered these two Spells.

The next moment, Chen Hu used Near and Far and disappeared from the study.

He appeared inside Lingzhou City.

He took out a treasure hunting card.

He silently chanted "Activate."

He then obtained a new treasure location.

After he arrived at the treasure location to investigate, he discovered it was only a small Treasure Trove,

containing only a few hundred thousand taels of silver.

"It seems the large Treasure Troves in Lingzhou have been mostly collected. Next time I activate a treasure hunting card, I'll go to... the Royal Capital!"

Chen Hu's eyes brightened. The Royal Capital was the center of the Great Yong Kingdom.

The ownerless Treasure Troves there must far exceed those in other places.

Returning home,

Chen Hu prepared to continue activating cards, but he sensed guests visiting in the middle of the night.

Unfortunately,

the entire mansion was covered by a protective array.

Mo Sanwen and the others could not get in at all.

"Swish!"

A figure flashed.

Chen Hu appeared outside the backyard.

There were only a dozen or so people who came to wipe out his entire family.

Besides the leader, Mo Sanwen, who was at the Late Stage Marrow Refining, there were four at the Bone Refining Realm, and the rest were at the Tendon Refining Realm.

Chen Hu couldn't even be bothered to make a move.

With a thought,

the Heaven-Swallowing Vine turned into a streak of black light and shot out from his heart.

While in mid-air, the black light suddenly surged, turning into a massive plant.

More than a dozen roots suddenly shot out,

easily piercing into the bodies of Mo Sanwen and the others.

Then, they discovered with horror that they could not move, their senses were rapidly fading, and their bodies were shriveling at a visible rate.

For a moment, their faces were filled with expressions of fear of death.

In an instant,

only a dozen sets of clothes were left on the spot.

Retracting the Heaven-Swallowing Vine, Chen Hu began to loot the corpses.

He had quite a significant harvest.

Among them, in Mo Sanwen's clothes, there were over 2 million taels of silver notes, as well as a Earth-grade high-tier claw Martial Skill.

As for the others' clothes, there were hundreds of thousands of taels of silver notes and some Medicinal Pill.

In a flash,

Chen Hu returned to the study.

He continued to activate cards.

He activated a Lifespan card and gained 8 years of Lifespan.

He added it directly to himself.

He activated an animal card and obtained 1,000 fat pigs weighing three hundred catties each.

He used an animal upgrade card.

Chen Hu chose cattle again this time.

He planned to distribute some benefits to the younger brothers of the Fierce Tiger Gang tomorrow.

Afterward, Chen Hu activated a cultivation multiplier card.

He took out a soul crystal, held it in his hand, and used the Spirit Refining Art to refine it.

One hour later,

the Primordial Spirit, having absorbed the Soul Power, grew a little stronger.

Time flew by,

and morning arrived.

After breakfast,

Chen Hu took General Zhao Zilong and Dian Wei and headed towards the Fierce Tiger Gang General Hall.

Accompanying them was a carriage.

Inside the carriage was a butchered exotic beast cow.

Huang Zhong did not accompany them.

Chen Hu had him stay at his own mansion to hold down the fort.

After having someone send the exotic beast cow into the General Hall's cafeteria,

Chen Hu ordered someone to pass on the message.

All members of the Fierce Tiger Gang could come to the General Hall's cafeteria at noon today to get a bowl of exotic beast meat to eat.

The news spread,

and the entire Fierce Tiger Gang was shaken.

That was exotic beast meat; even low-level underlings like them actually had the qualifications to eat it.

Noon arrived very quickly.

The General Hall's cafeteria became extremely lively.

It was filled with his own members lining up to get meat.

At first, everyone thought that this exotic beast meat would probably be just a piece or two.

But they never expected that those who got the meat first all received a full bowl.

And after the exotic beast lunch banquet passed,

the news spread throughout the city.

Not to mention ordinary civilians, even some ordinary Martial Artists were secretly envious.

Consequently, quite a few Martial Artists had already run to the Fierce Tiger Gang to ask if they were recruiting.

This news reached Chen Hu's ears,

and he couldn't help but be a bit stunned.

He just wanted to provide some benefits to his younger brothers.

He didn't expect such an unexpected surprise.

So, he waved his hand and gave instructions that as long as they were Martial Artists willing to join the Fierce Tiger Gang, they should all be taken in.

Anyway, with the faction BUFF existing, even if they were undercover agents,

after a period of time, they would become loyal to him.

Near the end of the day, as work was wrapping up,

Chen Hu received news that the Fierce Tiger Gang had added over 200 Martial Artist members this afternoon.

Most of these Martial Artists were outsiders.

After all, Feilong Prefecture had been breached by the Yellow Heaven Army, and many low-level Martial Artists chose to flee to Linjiang Prefecture.

After dinner,

Chen Hu went outside the city to go through the process again.

The number of underlings under his name suddenly increased by 23,566.

The total number of underlings soared directly to 124,882.

Once the underling points refreshed tonight,

he would be able to gain over 120,000 underling points, and he would be able to use these underling points to step into the Hunyuan Martial Saint realm in one go.

Since these refugees brought Chen Hu so many benefits,

Chen Hu naturally wouldn't treat them poorly.

He directly released 500 fat pigs to be slaughtered, providing a treat for all the refugees.

Just like that, he recruited over a hundred thousand refugees in one go.

The refugee settlement outside the city was almost empty.

Fortunately, Chen Hu was about to rebel, and at that time, he would bring the entire Linjiang Prefecture under his command.

Then, in an instant, he would gain millions of underlings.

In a single day, he would be able to obtain millions of underling points.
