388: One yuan purchase, Chu Jiang is still a loyal and honest person

Inside the underground palace, there were dozens of large chests of gold, countless gold and silver treasures, strange weapons, Medicinal Pills, and Heaven And Earth Treasures.

There were also several mountains of Spirit Stones, neatly arranged. By estimation, there were hundreds of thousands of Mid-Grade Spirit Stones and tens of thousands of High-Grade Spirit Stones.

Good heavens!

Is this a bandit's lair?

"Long Teng, start stocking up... shopping!"

Xiao Bai curled his lips, his eyes gleaming, almost letting slip the wrong word.

"Hehe, time to buy things!"

Long Teng said with a chuckle, skillfully pulling out a gold ingot from his embrace and placing it in front of him.

Commonly known as "one-yuan purchase."

Xiao Bai opened his Treasure Pouch and frantically stuffed it with gold, silver, and Spirit Stones, chests disappearing one after another.

After a while,

the two left, satisfied.

...

As time passed, the bandits of the Soul Severing Mountain Range were almost completely annihilated. The remaining few Elders and Protectors attempted to use the mountain protection array to resist, but it was all in vain.

The Demon Suppression Guard and the Tiger Brave Army swept through, killing a total of seventy thousand bandits.

The human emperor banner absorbed tens of thousands of souls in the Soul Severing Mountain Range, fully sated, its aura becoming even more terrifying, as if it was nurturing a ferocious god.

"Sir, all the bandits who fled from the Soul Severing Mountain Range have been annihilated!"

Fu Yunxuan stepped forward and cupped her hands.

"Mm!"

Chu Jiang nodded and said, "Clean up the battlefield. All bodies must be cremated to prevent plague!"

"Yes!"

In the Three Prefectures, plague was also one of the major causes of unrest. Although high-level Cultivators were not afraid of plague, low-level martial artists and ordinary people still found it difficult to resist plague.

This bandit suppression operation, along with the subsequent cremation of tens of thousands of bodies and scavenging, lasted a full day and night.

"Sir, these are the resources scavenged from various places in the Soul Severing Mountain Range, including the main camp!"

Wang Chao handed several Storage Pouches to Chu Jiang for inspection.

Whoosh!

Chu Jiang's Divine Sense swept through, and indeed there were many treasures inside. Just Mid-Grade Spirit Stones alone amounted to seventy to eighty thousand, and High-Grade Spirit Stones numbered several thousand.

But for the largest bandit lair in the Three Prefectures, describing it as "poor" was not an exaggeration at all.

One must know that the Soul Severing Mountain Range had secretly destroyed dozens of large and small Schools over the years. How could there be so few resources?

Eighty percent of it was probably handed over to the people behind him.

The Pacification Envoy of Wu Prefecture, the Li family.

Behind the Li family was Wu Ling King, the Chu Emperor's imperial uncle, the true Dominator of the Border Three Prefectures.

"Take out half and distribute it to the Demon Suppression Guard and the Tiger Brave Army, allocated proportionally!"

Chu Jiang said indifferently.

"Zhao Hu, take some men to the Soul Severing Mountain Range and find dozens of wild beasts, or even demons, the more brutal the better!"

"Yes!"

Wang Chao and Zhao Hu nodded, took the Storage Pouches, and withdrew to carry out their duties.

...

A quarter of an hour later,

five hundred meters underground, Chu Jiang and the others arrived at the underground palace that Ghost Scythe had mentioned.

"This is the 'large amount of treasure' you spoke of? How dare you trick this Dominator?"

Chu Jiang's eyes turned cold as he looked at Ghost Scythe, his expression unfriendly.

"This..."

"How could this be!"

Ghost Scythe was dumbfounded, looking at the empty underground palace. Where was the gold, the silver, the Spirit Stones, the Heaven And Earth Treasures? A million question marks passed through his mind.

Only he knew about this private underground palace. Every year, when he handed over resources to the higher-ups, he would secretly withhold a portion to enrich his own private coffers.

There was also a large amount of evidence of collusion between officials of the Three Prefectures and demons, which was his bargaining chip for survival. As long as these ironclad proofs existed, he would be essentially safe.

Wait?

What did he mean by leaving him a gold ingot here?

Ghost Scythe looked at the spot where the treasures were piled, and indeed, there was a gleaming gold ingot, his mouth twitching uncontrollably.

Did he run into a tomb raider?

Damn it.

This isn't even a tomb, for crying out loud.

"This Dominator hates deceit the most in his life!"

Chu Jiang raised his hands slightly, and a faint chill, like an icy wind from an extremely cold place, condensed at his fingertips.

Ice Emperor's Nine Strikes—Ice Seal Finger.

As his mind moved, the chill at his fingertips instantly transformed into several streams of Ice Seal power, shooting towards Ghost Scythe and Ghost Face Scholar like sharp arrows.

The three only had time to open their eyes in shock before they felt a powerful chill invade their bodies. Their magical power was frozen, and they instantly lost control.

Even their Physical Body strength was suppressed to its lowest point.

Unlike the previous Seal on their Cultivation, this time, even their Physical Body and Divine Soul power were frozen by this one finger.

Ghost Face Scholar was horrified. What kind of finger technique was this, so terrifying?

"Chu Jiang, you're going back on your word! You said you'd let us go!"

"Let go of me!"

Ghost Face Scholar roared furiously, but having lost his magical power, Physical Body, and Divine Soul power, he could only rage impotently.

"This Dominator did say that, but did I break my promise? This Dominator will not kill you, but as for my subordinates, I wouldn't know!"

Chu Jiang stood with his hands behind his back, speaking indifferently.

"You... despicable!"

"This is a trick!"

Ghost Scythe growled, though he knew Chu Jiang might turn hostile, he didn't expect it to be so soon.

"I told you long ago, it's better to die than surrender. Your great sins are enough to kill you a hundred times over, yet you still fantasize about escaping punishment. Wake up!"

Purple-Faced Fiend shook his head, but he also understood their actions. In the face of life and death, not everyone can remain calm.

At this moment, Zhao Hu walked over, carrying several cups of yellowish water.

"What is this? I won't drink it, I won't drink it, take it away..."

Ghost Face Scholar's face was filled with terror, thinking it was poison. He resisted fiercely, his whole body trembling, almost defecating and urinating himself.

"Whether you drink it or not is not up to you. This is good stuff... Drink!"

Zhao Hu said coldly, grabbing Ghost Face Scholar's jaw and directly pouring the yellow water into his mouth.

"No..."

Ghost Scythe also resisted, but there was nothing he could do. His magical power, Physical Body, and Divine Soul were all frozen, making resistance impossible.

As for Purple-Faced Fiend, he didn't hesitate, drinking it all down in one gulp, even giving a provocative look.

But the three waited for a while, and apart from their bodies feeling slightly warm, they did not experience the expected poisoning and death.

"Ghost Face Scholar, I heard you particularly like virtuous women. This Dominator is kind-hearted, so I'll let you have some fun before you die!"

A wicked smile flashed across Chu Jiang's lips.

"Take them away!"

"Yes!"

The three were instantly taken away by the Four Vajras.

Ghost Face Scholar's eyes lit up. If he was going to die anyway, having some fun before he died wasn't bad.

They must have given them an aphrodisiac just now, no wonder he felt a bit warm.

"This Chu Jiang is still an honest man!"

Even in death, he would give them, the bandit leaders, a dignified way to die.

Either way, it was death.

However, a death of ecstasy was definitely the outcome he preferred the most.
