14: scramble
"Wait... I know the whereabouts of the Blood Sabre Legacy... I can take you there, just please show mercy and spare my life!" Lu Feiyang was so scared he was almost crying; this damned star of disaster killed people without blinking.
A cunning smile flashed across Chu Jiang's face; this was the sentence he had been waiting for.
This Lu Feiyang was the son of the Annan Prefecture Administrator; he must know the location of the Blood Sabre Legacy. If he didn't apply some psychological pressure, how would he speak up so easily?
"I have already planted a Gu in your body. In twelve hours, if I don't remove it, your Meridians will snap and you will die, so don't try any tricks!"
Chu Jiang gently patted Lu Feiyang's shoulder and said coldly.
"You actually know the Gu techniques of the Miao border?"
"Don't look at me like that. This Gu is invisible and intangible; only I can undo it!"
Lu Feiyang shuddered in fear, instantly feeling uncomfortable all over. He had just slapped him, and now he was planting a Gu on him.
Oh my god, I already agreed to lead the way for him. Damn it, can you not torture me like this?
Seeing Lu Feiyang's terrified expression, Chu Jiang wore a sly smile. He didn't know any Gu techniques; he was just scaring him to keep him from playing tricks.
As this scene fell into the eyes of those around them, Chu Jiang appeared even more mysterious.
...
Early the next morning, after the group finished resting at the inn, Chu Jiang took Lu Feiyang and left Qingshan Town, heading towards Black Tiger Mountain.
"Junior Sister, let's go."
"We can ignore other things, but that Marrow Cleansing Pill must be obtained for you. It can allow your Physical Body to evolve a second time!" Bai Ruoxue said.
However, they were not the only ones with such thoughts.
"Follow them!"
"Now that we have this group of government officials leading the way, we can fish in troubled waters!"
More than half of the people in Qingshan Town left instantly, following behind them.
Lu Feiyang was very puzzled by this situation. The reason he wanted to unite these Jianghu people to explore Black Tiger Mountain was because the mountain was teeming with demons, and no single force could obtain the Legacy on its own.
Now, Chu Jiang was taking the lead, walking in front of everyone, while the Jianghu people behind could sit back and reap the rewards.
Thinking about how his life was still in the hands of the Chu family, he couldn't help but remind him: "Lord Chu, the Blood Sabre Legacy is deep within Black Tiger Mountain. There must be many demons on the way. We shouldn't walk in front."
Chu Jiang showed an indifferent expression. He actually wished there were more demons on the way; he was dirt poor right now, and his demon life essence was simply not enough.
Once he killed a few more demons, he could push the Great Strength Vajra Palm to the Transcendent stage.
If he could also obtain the Blood Sabre Legacy, his strength would be enough to challenge the Vajra Realm.
"Find me a route with the most demons!" Chu Jiang said seriously.
"Ah!"
Lu Feiyang was dumbfounded. What kind of bizarre train of thought was this?
Others were avoiding demons as much as possible, yet you are desperately rushing towards them.
As if you're afraid the demons won't see you.
Damn it, this guy is a lunatic. I'm afraid I'll become demon food before I even see the Blood Sabre Legacy today.
"Lord Chu, I haven't been to Black Tiger Mountain either. I only have this one route in my hands; I don't know any other paths." Lu Feiyang cursed inwardly while leading the way. Please don't court death, you old geezer.
You don't want to live, but I still do.
Chu Jiang had no choice but to give up. This guy was too timid; at the slightest sign of trouble, he thought it was a demon and immediately retreated behind him.
With this kind of courage, how did he go out exploring alone?
The group moved quickly, and by noon, they had already entered the depths of Black Tiger Mountain.
"It's so quiet along the way!" Since entering Black Tiger Mountain, Liu Guangwu's expression had been highly tense. The demons of Black Tiger Mountain were notorious and possessed extraordinary strength.
Yet, apart from some bird calls and insect chirps, they hadn't even seen a hair of a demon.
"There is something strange in here!"
As a veteran demon catcher of twenty years, Ma Han had seen a lot through wind and rain. As one of the four major gathering places for demons in White Stone County, Black Tiger Mountain being devoid of demons was absolutely abnormal.
"Is today the wrong day to go out? Where did these damned demons run off to? Did they go to visit their relatives collectively?"
Their group was such a big target, and their Qi and blood were so abundant. Don't these demons usually have very sharp noses? Now, they couldn't see a single one.
Chu Jiang was very disappointed.
Ma Han said seriously: "Lord, I haven't heard that these Black Tiger demons have any relatives."
"Isn't it a huge blessing that there are no demons?"
Seeing the serious look on Chu Jiang's subordinate's face, Lu Feiyang couldn't hold back his laughter.
What the hell, visiting demon relatives.
"Kid, this is none of your business. Just lead the way properly!" Liu Guangwu said irritably.
Lu Feiyang was so angry he laughed. I am not a kid.
...
Two hours later.
"Is this the location of the Blood Sabre Legacy?" Chu Jiang said.
"The map says this is it." Lu Feiyang showed a puzzled expression. "Why is there nothing here? What happened to the promised Legacy and Treasure Trove?"
Besides a few half-dead old trees, there was nothing in front of them.
The Jianghu sects behind them also followed up. Seeing the scene in front of them, they frowned.
Blood Sabre Wang Qifeng was, after all, an expert approaching the Vajra Realm. As the second on the ranking list, surely there should be a decent Immortal Cave left behind for his Legacy? Does this broken place really have the Blood Sabre Legacy?
Chu Jiang looked back at these Jianghu people again and found a few more unfamiliar figures, whose aura was no weaker than the Innate realm.
Just at this moment, those few withered trees suddenly shifted, and the ground shook crazily, as if some mechanism was about to be triggered.
"Get out of the way!"
Everyone ran away from the withered trees, thinking that some hidden weapon was about to be activated.
When the commotion subsided.
A three-meter-long underground entrance appeared, attracting the attention of all parties.
No need to think.
This was most likely the entrance to the Blood Sabre Legacy.
"I am the Blood Demon Hand Lin Shan. I want this Blood Sabre Legacy, so all of you get lost!" Lin Shan rushed in first, killing the nearby Poison Snake Gang Disciples preparing to enter the underground entrance with one palm in a few breaths.
"Blood Demon Hand, what great majesty!" The two elders of Black Cloud from the Yellow Clothes Gang said disdainfully, following closely behind.
The Blood Demon Hand rampaged through the three counties of Annan Prefecture and had successfully escaped from the pursuit of Late Stage Innate experts. No fewer than three Innate experts had died at his hands.
Others might fear his Blood Demon Hand, but they were not afraid in the slightest.
When everyone entered the underground, they discovered that it was a spacious underground palace.
The air was filled with a stench and the smell of blood, which was nauseating.
The interior of the palace was spacious and gloomy, with huge bats hanging upside down on the ceiling; their wings flapped from time to time, bringing gusts of cold wind.
The walls were hung with terrifying murals, depicting scenes of blood and violence.
In the center of the palace was a huge circular altar, on which sat a figure in red, and the torches burning around it illuminated the entire space.
In front of the figure in red, three treasure boxes in white, purple, and red were placed in a triangular shape.
"Is this person Blood Sabre Wang Qifeng?"
"Is he dead? Why hasn't his flesh withered?" Lu Feiyang said in surprise.
How could a person who died ten years ago keep his flesh intact?
"This must be the unique aspect of the Blood Sabre Legacy. Although the person is dead, the flesh does not rot!" Blood Demon Hand Lin Shan showed greed, feeling more and more that Wang Qifeng's Cultivation Technique was not simple. He snorted coldly and rushed towards the altar: "Since you don't want it, then it will be cheap for me!"
"Blood Demon Hand, you are presumptuous! This Legacy belongs to our Yellow Clothes Gang!" The two elders of Black Cloud joined forces to block him.
