86: Chapter 86 All the Way to Europe

Before dying, Elder Mu experienced a moment of final clarity. She struggled to turn her head, looking at Saintess Luoyan with disbelief: "Saintess... you!"

Before she could finish her sentence, a large amount of blood began to gush from Elder Mu's seven orifices.

"Thud!"

The next moment, Elder Mu's corpse collapsed to the ground.

"Whoosh!"

A dark green light shot out from Chen Hu's chest, landing on Elder Mu and transforming into a dark green plant.

Its spiked roots plunged directly into Elder Mu's corpse, frantically devouring her flesh and blood.

Elder Mu's body withered at a visible speed.

Seeing this, a flash of horror crossed Saintess Luoyan's eyes, and her gaze towards Chen Hu was filled with a deep sense of awe.

Very quickly.

Elder Mu's corpse was completely devoured by the Heaven-Swallowing Vine, leaving only her clothes behind.

Having absorbed the corpse of a Marrow Refining expert, the Heaven-Swallowing Vine doubled in height, and its strength even broke through to the Bone Refining Realm.

However, it had not yet fully digested the nutrients from the Marrow Refining Martial Artist's corpse.

Once digestion was complete, it should possess the strength of the Marrow Refining Realm.

The next moment, the Heaven-Swallowing Vine turned back into a dark green light, sinking into Chen Hu's chest and taking root in his heart.

"Sit!"

Chen Hu pointed at a stool.

Saintess Luoyan sat down obediently.

"Tell me about the situation of your Holy Moon Sect!" Chen Hu said.

"Yes!"

Saintess Luoyan nodded and began to detail the situation of their Holy Moon Sect.

The Holy Moon Sect was a top-tier power spread throughout the Great Yong Kingdom.

First of all, the Sect Leader of the Holy Moon Sect was named Sect Leader Tian Yue, whose strength was peerless, having already reached the Late Stage of Qi Refining, and she could Breakthrough to the highest Realm of the martial Dao, the Hunyuan Martial Saint, at any time!

In addition to Sect Leader Tian Yue, the Holy Moon Sect also had ten Elders and four Protectors.

They were all experts in the Liangang Realm.

Further down were the Bright Moon Envoys and Star Envoys.

To become a Bright Moon Envoy, one's cultivation had to reach the seventh Realm, the Blood Refining Realm.

To become a Star Envoy, one's cultivation had to reach the sixth Realm, the Organ Refining Realm.

But even Saintess Luoyan, as a Saintess, did not know exactly how many Bright Moon Envoys and Star Envoys the Holy Moon Sect had.

This was because the Holy Moon Sect had always been an enemy of the Zhenwu Division.

They chose not to establish strongholds or halls.

Instead, they operated as scattered units.

Even if someone's tracks were exposed, it would not implicate others.

Below the Star Envoys were the fifth-Realm ordinary Elders; Elder Mu, who had just been killed by Chen Hu, was one of these many ordinary Elders.

Over the years, the Holy Moon Sect had been constantly suppressed by the Zhenwu Division, and although they had caused significant casualties to the Zhenwu Division, the Zhenwu Division found it much easier to replenish their personnel.

After all, the Zhenwu Division had the power of the state behind it.

Conversely, for the Holy Moon Sect, every time they lost manpower, it took a lot of time and resources to replenish it.

Consequently, the Holy Moon Sect changed its strategy.

They approached the current Second Prince, intending to use the Second Prince's hand to suppress the Zhenwu Division.

As for how to approach the Second Prince, the Holy Moon Sect planned to use a honey trap.

Originally, Sect Leader Tian Yue had sent Saintess Luoyan to seduce the Second Prince.

But Saintess Luoyan was unwilling, so she came to Linjiang Prefecture under the pretext of searching for the Heaven-Mending Technique.

Because the Holy Moon Sect had already made contact with the Second Prince, Sect Leader Tian Yue sent another Saintess, Tianxing, to seduce the Second Prince.

After listening to Saintess Luoyan's account.

Chen Hu said: "Elder Mu is dead; will this arouse suspicion?"

Saintess Luoyan said: "Not in the short term. Although the strategy of operating as scattered units can reduce losses during the Zhenwu Division's suppression, it also makes the entire organization loose. Especially for Elders, who have a high degree of freedom; even if they lose contact for a few months, it is not considered strange."

But saying this, Saintess Luoyan frowned slightly: "However, I came to Linjiang Prefecture to search for that secret technique. If I cannot find the secret technique in the next month, I fear my Revered Master will transfer me away."

"No matter!" Chen Hu waved his hand: "If you are transferred away, you can just lie dormant within the Holy Moon Sect!"

"Yes, Revered Master!"

Saintess Luoyan quickly accepted the order.

But the next moment, her beautiful face added a touch of charm as she stood up, walked to Chen Hu, knelt before him, and looked up at him: "Revered Master, let this slave serve you!"

Chen Hu lowered his gaze, taking in the sight, and his heart stirred a bit, but in the end, he shook his head: "It is getting late; I should go back!"

Although he was a worldly man and quite lecherous.

He did not play with "public buses."

Saintess Luoyan seemed to guess Chen Hu's thoughts and quickly explained: "Revered Master, this slave's body is clean. The men from before thought they had done something with this slave, but in fact, they had all fallen for my charm techniques!"

"Since that is the case, then I will not be polite!"

Chen Hu chuckled, pulled Saintess Luoyan up, then lifted her into his arms, and walked towards the bed with large strides.

Two hours later.

Chen Hu walked out of Wanhua Pavilion with somewhat unsteady steps.

Rubbing his slightly aching waist, he muttered: "As expected of a bewitching woman, she nearly cost me my life."

Returning home.

Chen Hu did not go to the backyard but slept in the middle courtyard.

He had not consumed much tonight, so he would not Cultivate.

As for opening the cards, it wouldn't be too late to do it tomorrow.

The next morning.

Chen Hu woke up, and his body had returned to its Peak.

Just as he stepped into the backyard, Qianxue and Qianyu came up to meet him together.

"Brother Hu, we have cultivated Qi strength!"

"Is that so?"

Chen Hu was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected the two women to develop Qi strength so quickly; as expected of those with Earth-grade talent.

"In that case, I will formally teach you the Cultivation Technique tonight!"

"Thank you, Brother Hu!" the two women thanked him in unison.

After breakfast.

Chen Hu went to the Fierce Tiger Gang General Hall to hold office.

Arriving at the office, he first brewed a cup of tea for himself, then closed the office door.

He first opened the normal resource cards and transferred the items that came out into his Storage Ring.

Then, he began to open the special resource cards.

First were two meat field cards.

The normal meat field card produced ten jin of exotic beast meat, and it was second-tier exotic beast meat.

The Intermediate meat field card produced 100 jin of exotic beast meat, which was third-tier exotic beast meat.

"Damn, why am I so lucky today?"

Chen Hu was a bit surprised. Suddenly, he thought of a possibility; could it be because he had eaten Saintess Luoyan last night?

Next, Chen Hu opened the weapon card.

He opened a Low Grade divine weapon longsword.

The spirit fruit card and the Spirit Medicine card both produced good spirit fruits and Spirit Medicine.

"It seems I am going to be lucky all the way today!"

Chen Hu secretly thought.

He threw this divine weapon longsword into the sword nourishing gourd, then opened the grain card.

He opened 4,000 jin of spirit rice.

"Who else?"

Chen Hu's face was almost broken from smiling. He continued to open the spirit spring card, obtaining 1,000 jin of spirit spring.

Then he opened the fine wine card.

He obtained 10 jin of spirit wine, Taixuan Wine.

He opened the pill card and obtained a Spirit Marrow Pill; this Medicinal Pill was an auxiliary pill for the Marrow Refining Realm.

Next, Chen Hu opened the connection card and obtained a D-grade connection, which he immediately gave up on using.

Then he opened the intelligence card.

Today's intelligence: Wealthy Gang Leader Wang Quan is an expert in the Mid-stage Bone Refining, and Wang Quan is a hall Revered Master of the Lingzhou Money Gang.

Seeing this intelligence.

Chen Hu could not help but show a thoughtful expression.

Linjiang Prefecture belonged to Lingzhou.

Lingzhou was one of the nine great prefectures of the Great Yong Kingdom.

And the Money Gang was one of the top Gangs in Lingzhou, whose leader was a sixth-Realm Organ Refining expert.

There were even multiple Marrow Refining Elders in the Gang.

Since Wang Quan was a hall Revered Master of the Money Gang, the Wealthy Gang he created was likely not just a small operation, but most likely possessed the ambition to unify Linjiang Prefecture.
