428: Blood Moon Slaughterer, King Wu Ling's Plan

When Chu Jiang reappeared, he was already in front of the now-destroyed East Earl Residence.

"Hmm?"

Principal General Zhao's expression was surprised.

This feeling.

As the strongest person closest to Chu Jiang present, his Soul suddenly shivered, but it was fleeting.

It was like facing Heavenly Might, capable of easily crushing him a thousand times over.

Was it an illusion?

Why did he feel like he was facing a Rongtian Stage expert? Could Chu Jiang have had a Breakthrough?

But after thinking about it carefully, he felt it was impossible. Chu Jiang was indeed a peerless genius, and a Breakthrough to the Rongtian Stage was only a matter of time.

However, it was impossible to have a Breakthrough in such a short time. The current suppression of heaven and earth would only be stronger than a thousand years ago.

Chu Jiang dispatched a small portion of his troops to supervise the Lan Prefecture officials in disaster relief.

The rest of the troops mounted their spirit horses and swiftly departed with Chu Jiang.

Rumble!

Thousands of soldiers galloped through the sky, leaving Shangyuan Prefecture City.

Clearing out the Sun Moon Country's garrison was naturally done with lightning speed.

Any delay or waste of time, and the people might have already fled.

...

Hiss!

Dozens of aristocratic families and countless onlookers dared to speak loudly only after watching Chu Jiang's departing back.

Looking at the empty Marquis Residence, there was a sense of things having changed, as if the important figures inside were still swaggering and dominating just yesterday, their prestige unrivaled.

Today, they had all become ghosts under the blade.

"The Marquis of Dongbo, who stood firm in Lan Prefecture for hundreds of years and dominated one side, was actually destroyed just like that, becoming dust in history!"

"The God of Slaughter Chu Jiang, I feel it's more appropriate to describe him as a Butcher. Who knows how many people have died by his hand?"

"If he keeps killing like this, the Three Prefectures will be completely wiped out by him!"

"Don't say that, although Lord Marquis Chu has killed many people, he doesn't slaughter indiscriminately. Those he kills are all unforgivable sinners. As long as you don't provoke him and are honest, will he touch you?"

As he spoke.

Many people also nodded in agreement.

Indeed.

While Chu Jiang executed these people, he also indirectly saved countless others.

With these tumors gone from the Three Prefectures, no longer harming the world.

It would soon recover its Origin Qi.

The aristocratic families left the Marquis Residence one after another, returning to their respective homes.

As for the treasures inside, they had long been dug out by the Demon Suppression Guard; there were no good treasures left.

Trying to find a bargain from the Demon Suppression Guard was almost impossible.

Especially the Demon Suppression Guard under Chu Jiang's command; they were like bandits in fancy clothes. Wherever they went, they would even empty out the eggs laid by hens.

...

Wu Prefecture, Wu Spirit Royal Mansion.

In the back garden.

An old man wearing a dragon robe, with a youthful face and white hair, his aura like a Dragon, his Cultivation Technique unfathomably deep.

The old man sat on the pavilion, drinking the Wuxian tea tributeed from the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, looking at the fish in the pond, his spirits high.

Beside him stood a white-robed woman as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal, her expression cold and arrogant, her aura slightly pale.

"As expected of one of the three great clan-protecting Cultivation Techniques of the imperial family, the Azure Wood Emperor Skill's ability is truly abnormal. Such terrifying injuries have almost no effect on you."

The white-robed woman said softly.

The two were Fox Fairy Niangniang and, naturally, the Dominator of the Three Prefectures, Wu Ling King.

The two had cooperated a few days ago to set up a deadly trap for Chu Jiang, believing they had him completely cornered and that killing him would be without any mishaps.

Wiping out this troublesome ant.

However, the development of events far exceeded their expectations.

Chu Jiang, alone, swept through several great demon lords, killed dozens of Heaven-Level Demons, and even the Earth Fiend Hall's First Holy Maiden and the three Sky Zodiac Stars all perished, suffering heavy losses.

Even the Nine Heavens Refining God Great Array couldn't trap him.

Wu Ling King, the overlord, personally took action but failed to capture him, instead being pursued by him.

If not for Wu Ling King, risking his life to save her.

Even she would have fallen by Chu Jiang's hand.

"I feel he has the combat power of the top nine on the Heaven Ranking!"

Fox Fairy Niangniang continued, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

The information currently displayed.

On the Heaven Ranking, the top nine all controlled a Law Domain.

Various major forces certainly harbored Heaven-Grade combat power, but those at the level of the top ten on the Heaven Ranking were few and far between.

Controlling a Law Domain, in the Era of Dharma Decline, was equivalent to being in the Rongtian Stage in fact.

It required not only peerless talent but also a massive accumulation of resources.

It wouldn't be surprising if Chu Jiang could comprehend a Law Domain within a hundred years in the foreseeable future, but how long has it been?

It had been less than a year since Chu Jiang's Breakthrough to the Heaven and Earth Realm.

The shortest time for those on the Heaven Ranking who comprehended a Law Domain was two hundred years, at least.

He was simply a monstrous talent.

"You worry too much. This King guarantees that he absolutely has not comprehended a Law Domain, otherwise we wouldn't have escaped so easily!"

Wu Ling King said with a faint smile.

The top nine on the Heaven Ranking and the Heaven Ranking experts below them were completely two different worlds.

Below a Law Domain, all are ants.

Although he could escape with the help of the incomplete cauldron, he definitely couldn't have saved Fox Fairy Niangniang.

Therefore, Chu Jiang most likely had not comprehended a Law Domain.

But he was close enough.

With his terrifying growth rate, within three years... no, within one year, he would be able to comprehend a Law Domain.

He couldn't afford to give him any more time.

"I have already contacted the Sun Moon Country and invited one of the three great assassin organizations, Blood Moon, and its King of Assassins—Butcher—to eliminate Chu Jiang!"

Wu Ling King said coldly.

"Butcher? The King of Assassins who is said to have never failed an assassination!"

Fox Fairy Niangniang said in surprise.

The Sun Moon Country had no miscellaneous assassination forces; the entire country only had three assassination organizations, each with immense power.

And Blood Moon was the second-ranked assassin organization in the Sun Moon Country.

Butcher was the top-tier assassin within Blood Moon, second only to the Blood Moon Dominator.

Butcher's assassinations, any mission he accepted, had never failed; he had a hundred percent success rate.

It was rumored that the next Blood Moon Dominator had already been internally decided to be Butcher.

The price to hire him was extremely expensive.

Wu Ling King nodded slightly, feeling a pang of pain. Hiring him had come at a huge cost, and they also had to appease the giant demons in the Shen Yue Great Marsh before they would allow him to be sent into Great Chu territory.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to cross the border.

"This is just the first layer of insurance!"

"There's also a second layer; the plan has already begun to be deployed ahead of schedule!"

"I suspect Chu Emperor already knows what I'm going to do. Even if Chu Jiang dies in the Three Prefectures, he still won't let it go. If he wasn't temporarily unable to leave the imperial capital, he would probably come to kill me himself!"

Wu Ling King said in a deep voice.

Once Chu Jiang died, Chu Emperor would no longer wait. Even the Old Ancestors lying in their coffins in the imperial mausoleum might be alarmed.

Rather than being gradually pressured and attacked by them, it was better to take the initiative.

To take a gamble.

"So urgent?"

Fox Fairy Niangniang's expression was startled. As an ally, she naturally understood what Wu Ling King's plan was.
