304: The Taiping Holy Religion branch was destroyed, and someone from the Prince of Yan's Mansion came

"Die!"

Manager Liu and the others' faces instantly darkened.

"Kill him!"

Everyone stopped pretending and charged at Chu Jiang.

They planned to finish him off and then make a quick escape.

Just then.

Chu Jiang waved his hand, and everyone in the main hall was sent flying backward, blood splattering, their bodies torn to pieces.

"Are you human or ghost?!"

Manager Li was terrified; those few people were all Divine Power Realm experts, yet they couldn't withstand his casual strike.

"The one who kills you!"

Chu Jiang said coldly, flicking his finger, directly piercing through Manager Li's chest, all his internal organs shattered.

"Not good, Protector, hurry and leave, we've been tracked down!"

In the back courtyard, someone shouted.

Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Over a dozen figures instantly shot up from the back courtyard of Wanlai Inn, bursting into the air.

Among them, a man in yellow robes ran the fastest, leaving everyone else far behind.

The next second.

Chu Jiang stepped into the Void Realm, stomping on the space, and the entire Void Realm pressed down on everyone like billions of pounds of Divine Power, causing everyone to spit out a mouthful of vital blood and fall to the ground collectively.

"Your Excellency, my Taiping Holy Church has no grievances with you, why do you seek to exterminate us?"

The yellow-robed Protector's face was pale; this person was very likely a Transcendent Heaven and Earth Realm expert, capable of immense power with every move, completely beyond his ability to resist.

"To kill you, no reason is needed!"

Chu Jiang said coldly, extending his large hand, grasping the yellow-robed Protector, and directly employing the Soul Seizing Art.

"Ah—"

The yellow-robed Protector screamed tragically.

"Soul Seizing Art, are you an expert from the Heavenly Soul Sect?"

This technique was extremely similar to the Heavenly Soul Sect, one of the three great evil sects in the eastern part of Great Chu, but they had always looked down on this wild western region, so why would they come here?

However, Chu Jiang did not respond to his words.

"Destroying my branch, even if you are from the Heavenly Soul Sect, my Taiping Holy Church will come knocking to settle the score..."

The voice gradually weakened.

Under the Soul Seizing Art, the yellow-robed Protector's consciousness fell into oblivion.

He asked a few questions.

He didn't get any useful information; regarding the headquarters' location, it was even more obscure, as they were always led there by a dedicated person and didn't know the specific location at all.

Chu Jiang then used the Soul Seizing Art on several other Taiping Holy Church followers.

The information they knew was even less than the Protector's.

The Taiping Holy Church was now a demonic cult, with a supreme leader who held all power.

Although its main force had long been annihilated by the imperial court, and that great sect, which claimed to rule the world with demons, no longer had its former glory.

But it still possessed considerable power.

Below the leader were the Four Great Protector Kings, all Heaven and Earth Realm experts.

Further down were the Elder-level, while the Protector-level were assigned different people according to the martial arts strength of their respective great provinces.

However, according to this Protector's statement and conjecture, the headquarters of the Taiping Holy Church had likely moved from the western region to develop in the eastern region decades ago.

After Chu Jiang killed everyone, he plundered all the resources from this branch, obtaining thirty thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, one hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, and other miscellaneous resources estimated to be worth five hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stones.

Which was five High-Grade Spirit Stones.

"These guys are so damn poor!"

The Taiping Holy Church was so poor, yet they still wanted to rebel? How did people follow them?

Yan Luo Temple alone gave one hundred High-Grade Spirit Stones for entry; compared to that, the difference was more than just one tier.

Upon closer thought, it was reasonable.

The Taiping Holy Church's main force was gone, leaving only a few Heaven and Earth Realm experts.

In contrast, Yan Luo Temple was in its prime, the number one assassin organization in Great Chu, and certainly not short on money; one hundred High-Grade Spirit Stones was probably just a drop in the bucket for them.

[Ding]

[Detected that the Taiping Holy Church's branch has been destroyed. Mission complete: Reward Major Achievement-level Concealment Art. Do you wish to extract?]

"Extract!"

Innumerable years of Cultivation experience were directly poured into Chu Jiang's body, making it impossible for even a Heaven and Earth Realm expert of the same level to detect Chu Jiang's true aura.

[First millennium, Concealment Art Perfection]

[Second millennium, Concealment Art Transcendent]

[Cannot be detected unless personally scanned by a Rongtian Stage Divine Sense]

[demon life essence: Twenty-one thousand years]

[Own Lifespan: Three thousand years]

...

"System, does breaking through to the Heaven and Earth Realm only add this much Lifespan?"

Chu Jiang asked.

[Current world is incomplete, Laws are imperfect]

Chu Jiang shook his head silently.

It seemed that the locked upper limit of this world had a significant impact.

"Let's go!"

Chu Jiang moved, instantly disappearing from his original spot.

Since Chu Jiang had already sealed this area of the Void Realm before entering Wanlai Inn, he did not alarm anyone.

That night, everyone in Tieshan Commandery City slept peacefully.

Not a single sound was heard.

Nor did they know that a branch of the Taiping Holy Church had been completely annihilated in silence.

...

The next day.

Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division.

"Prince Yan's envoy has arrived!"

A man in an eagle robe stepped into the Yunzhou Demon Suppression Division.

Behind him followed nine beautiful women, each with her own unique charm.

The leader of them was even more devastatingly beautiful, noble, and elegant, every movement naturally enchanting, causing many hot-blooded young Demon Suppression Guards to feel their blood surge.

"Is that a fairy?"

"They're sending beauties to our Pacification Envoy!"

An old Demon Suppression Guard said, "Our Pacification Envoy is busy with countless tasks, always fighting or on his way to a fight. It's time for him to rest."

"Where is Chu Garrison Envoy?"

The eagle-robed middle-aged man scanned the entire hall but did not find Chu Jiang's figure.

"Your Excellency Envoy, Chu Garrison Envoy is out, and his return date is uncertain!"

Shen Commander replied, not giving definite information.

The eagle-robed middle-aged man frowned; a Pacification Envoy of a province could be out for a few days or several months on a mission, and he didn't have time to wait here.

"Alright, these nine women are maids specially chosen by Prince Yan for your Pacification Envoy, each with unique skills!"

"When your Pacification Envoy returns, tell him that this is Prince Yan's condolences (consolation/care), that's all!"

The eagle-robed middle-aged man said.

"Your subordinate understands!"

Shen Commander replied.

With that said.

The eagle-robed middle-aged man privately gave a few more instructions to a few people, then left.

"Ladies, please follow me!"

Shen Commander said, leading these women to their accommodation, but he did not take them to the Chu Residence.

The Chu Residence was Chu Jiang's private residence, and without his personal consent, even if they were Prince Yan's people, he couldn't rashly bring them in.

"What is Your Excellency's name?"

Su Lengyue asked with a light smile.

"My surname is Shen!"

Shen Commander replied simply.

"Lord Shen, may I ask when Lord Chu will return, and what are his taboos? So that when he returns, we may properly pay our respects!"

Su Lengyue's voice was pleasant, and her words made people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze, making it hard to refuse.

Seeing Shen Commander hesitate, one of the Eight Great Courtesans said, "After all, we may soon be Lord Chu's people. It's better to familiarize ourselves with his personality in advance, so we don't make mistakes, isn't it?"

Shen Commander frowned.

Just then.

A purple light streaked across the sky, and a heroic, clear-faced person descended.
