γ Experience Points: 3540 γ
In just a short moment, his Experience Points went from 0 to 3540, giving Yan Chu a sense of security.
"Let's upgrade first!"
Although it seemed the Six Doors had gained control of the situation, to prevent any mishaps, Yan Chu decided to upgrade his cultivation first.
"Add 2000 Experience Points to the Nine Yang Divine Art!"
Boom!
A powerful force appeared out of thin air. Yan Chu's internal organs felt as if they were being gripped and tempered repeatedly, with energy injecting into them, becoming tougher amidst the torture.
His face flushed red because of this.
Finally, after a few breaths, this change stopped.
The aura on his body became several times stronger.
Late Stage of Viscera Realm!
"Hoo..."
Yan Chu exhaled a long breath.
This process of tempering the internal organs was extremely painful and dangerous, so martial arts cultivation in the Third Realm often stagnates for a long period.
Moreover, this Realm generally requires pills like Organ-Nourishing Pills to assist in protecting the internal organs from damage.
But Yan Chu had the System, so naturally, he didn't need to worry about this.
Furthermore, the Foundation of ordinary cultivators was far less solid than his, and those who relied on pills couldn't compare to him either.
After all, his cultivation was raised through hard work.
"With 1540 Experience Points left, what should I upgrade?"
Yan Chu thought for a moment and decided to upgrade the Golden Goose Skill.
Since this movement technique reached the Soaring Through the Air level, it had been a great help to him, making his speed unmatched among those of the same rank.
If he upgraded it to the final level, Soaring Upwards, perhaps even a Martial Artist of the Qi Sea Realm might not necessarily be able to catch up to him.
Thus, the next moment, countless cultivation experiences flooded into his mind.
γ Golden Goose Skill (Soaring Upwards 40 / 4000) γ
The muscles in his thighs began to ripple, his blood and Qi circulated, his lines became more streamlined, and his whole person seemed to become light as a feather.
When the change stopped, Yan Chu felt as light as a swallow; it felt as if a gentle leap could send him several zhang high.
Thinking of this, he stepped out of the room and leaped up.
Without needing any leverage, he leaped directly onto a tall building not far away.
It was extremely easy.
Looking from here, he saw several figures tossing and turning in the very center of the Iron Eagle Fortress.
Under the clash of True Qi, the air there seemed to be distorted by the shock.
It was those Green Uniform Head Constables.
The people they were fighting were clearly also in the Qi Sea Realm, but they were being suppressed by the constables and were clearly in a precarious situation.
Suddenly, one person, not knowing what method he used, broke free from a constable's entanglement, leaped and ran across the rooftops, fleeing towards Yan Chu's side.
"Stop him!"
The Green Uniform Head Constable chasing from behind shouted urgently.
Yan Chu's mouth twitched slightly, and he jumped down from the tall building without hesitation.
Asking him to stop a Fourth Realm Martial Artist?
What was the difference between that and asking Benbo'erba to kill Tang Monk and his Disciples?
The Fourth Realm expert's movement technique was extremely fast; in a few breaths, he crossed the tall building where Yan Chu had just been, and the Iron Eagle Fortress Elder's eyes revealed the joy of escaping alive.
"Damn it!"
When that Green Uniform Head Constable passed by, he glared fiercely at Yan Chu, his murderous intent undisguised.
"I'll settle the score with you when I get back!"
After saying this, he chased out of the fortress.
Yan Chu's face darkened. Threatening him?
At this moment, in the center of the fortress, the situation had been completely controlled.
The "Iron Claw Flying Eagle," who had long been famous in Longhua Prefecture, was now pale, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, his shoulder blades locked by a thick iron hook, unable to mobilize a shred of True Qi.
Huang Xiyan freed his hands and quickly subdued the other Qi Sea Realm experts of the Iron Eagle Fortress.
Beside the "Iron Claw Flying Eagle" Xiang Zhixing stood a middle-aged man in brocade clothes; he was Xiang Zhixing's second Disciple, Xue Fei.
Xiang Zhixing looked at him with resentment and cursed:
"I must have been blind to take such an ungrateful wretch like you as a Disciple. If I had known, I should have strangled you back then!"
Xue Fei said expressionlessly, "Master, you are muddled with age, daring to collude with the Holy Lotus Sect.
This Disciple is doing this to preserve the Foundation of our Iron Eagle Fortress; otherwise, it would surely be ruined in your hands."
"Traitor!"
At this moment, Huang Xiyan walked over, carrying a figure like a dead dog in his hand; it was Xue Fei's Senior Brother, Peng Xu, who was currently glaring at him with hatred.
Xue Fei glanced at him with disdain.
"Senior Brother, you knew that the Holy Lotus Sect is not tolerated by the world, yet you dared to follow the Master down the wrong path to the end. You brought this outcome upon yourself!"
"Hmph!"
Peng Xu snorted coldly and said no more.
He had been trapped in the Fourth Realm for over ten years, and the Holy Lotus Sect had promised to help him break through; such temptation would be hard for anyone else to resist.
"Enough!"
Huang Xiyan said indifferently, "Xiang Zhixing, reveal the whereabouts of Ji Mingcheng, and this Commander can save you some suffering.
Otherwise, once you reach the Six Doors prison, it will be hard for you to even die!"
Xiang Zhixing shook his head, "I don't know his whereabouts either."
"He only came to the Iron Eagle Fortress four days ago, took some healing medicine from me, and then left. I haven't seen him since."
"Heh!"
Huang Xiyan shook his head with a cold expression, "It seems you won't shed tears until you see the coffin!"
Xiang Zhixing had joined the Holy Lotus Sect many years ago and was already a core member.
He didn't believe the other party didn't know Ji Mingcheng's whereabouts.
Immediately, he ordered, "Take everyone from the Iron Eagle Fortress to the prison and interrogate them overnight!"
"Yes!"
The Six Doors agreed in unison.
Suddenly, he frowned slightly and asked, "Where did Luo Hao go?"
"Reporting to the Commander, the Second Elder of the Iron Eagle Fortress just took advantage of the chaos to escape, and Luo Hao went to hunt him down."
"One escaped?"
"You, go chase after them immediately and make sure to assist Luo Hao in catching that person!"
"Yes!"
In the time that followed, the people from the Six Doors began to clear the battlefield.
Of course, looting everywhere was unavoidable.
This was already an unwritten rule.
Everyone was working with their heads on the line, not just for the merit of the Six Doors; the wealth obtained each time was also a major income.
Even if most of it was handed over, what remained in their own hands was not a small amount.
When everything was finished, the distant sky already showed the white of dawn.
Yan Chu also took this opportunity to get more than a thousand taels of silver; although it wasn't much, it was enough for him to use for a while.
One night passed, and the Iron Eagle Fortress, a force that had existed for decades, was destroyed, which would surely cause a huge uproar.
It would also bring great deterrence to many forces.
Usually, the government didn't pay much attention to small scuffles, but daring to collude with the Holy Lotus Sect undoubtedly touched the scales of the imperial court.
These had no impact on Yan Chu.
After returning from the Iron Eagle Fortress, he went back to the rented courtyard and had a good sleep.
After entering the Iron Eagle Fortress, he had killed a few wandering Iron Eagle Fortress Disciples. A night of fighting also left him looking a bit tired.
