964: Ransom and formal confrontation with the protagonist
At the same time, those Grand Sage Masters who had just entered Jiangshan City, those Grand Sage Masters who attempted to plunder and loot, all widened their eyes, their hearts trembling as they looked at the massive phantom connecting Heaven and Earth before them!
"Boom!"
Under Jiangshan's control, the phantom purely threw a punch.
Covered by the power of collapsing space, Beast Supreme and the other three, including all those external Grand Sage Masters, had no room to escape and were directly swept away by this attack, fiercely flying towards the Desert outside the City!
The power of a Supreme was far from something they could contend against!
"Bang bang bang bang~"
A large area of muffled sounds exploded within the sand and soil.
Some Grand Sage Masters with insufficient foundation even turned into a puddle of flesh and mud!
"Cough cough!!" Beast Supreme lay on the ground in extremely poor condition.
Due to the high pressure, the wounds on his massive body continuously bled outwards.
The blowing sand quickly stuck to his wounds, making him look utterly wretched at a glance!
"You..." Looking at Jiangshan, who stood calmly in the void with hardly any consumption, the bottom of Beast Supreme's violent eyes was finally gradually filled with fear: "Supreme! You are a Supreme! Impossible! How could you become a Supreme?!"
The three Peak Grand Sage Masters not far from him also looked at Jiangshan in the distance with startled and shocked eyes.
Likewise severely wounded and only able to lie in the Desert, spitting blood wretchedly, at this moment, the crazed emotion of only wanting to obtain the God's inheritance completely vanished!
What remained was only boundless fear and trepidation!
Supreme.
Although this Realm was only one Realm higher than Grand Sage Master, it could be said to be two completely different existences!
This was the Realm closest to a God in the world, the true Peak of the pyramid in the world!
No matter which force in the world they were placed in, they possessed absolute status, a status commensurate with their strength!
They had actually clashed with a Supreme like this!
But... with Jiangshan's Aptitude, how could he possibly break through? How did he break through? His potential was clearly completely exhausted!
While their hearts trembled, unwilling emotions also spread in the hearts of several people.
In a more distant area.
Those rogue cultivators or people from large and small forces who attempted to follow behind Beast Supreme and others to get a share in Jiangshan City were all stunned into silence by this sudden reversal of the situation.
Under everyone's gaze, Jiangshan slowly descended through the air.
His calm and composed posture, set against the terrifying Martial Soul phantom behind him, highlighted the dignity and power of a Supreme!
"Originally, I was wondering why you, Beast Supreme, being a Supreme, could still come and interfere with our affairs, when Supremes are clearly restricted from taking action. Now I understand."
As he spoke, Jiangshan walked up to Beast Supreme and said something that dealt critical damage while his face twitched: "Your strength is truly weak, so weak that you are completely unworthy of being associated with the Supreme Realm in the slightest! This old man said you were a fake Supreme before, and I didn't wrong you."
"Bastard! You deserve to die!"
This sentence completely broke Beast Supreme's defense, and the power of his Martial Soul was mobilized again, and he suddenly got up from the ground.
Already injured, his Aura was even slightly stronger than before.
Beast Supreme's fighting stance was like this, growing stronger the more he fought.
At the moment of roaring, the two Miracles of the Martial Soul behind Beast Supreme simultaneously erupted with dazzling brilliance!
"Boom!" Between the hundred-meter giant bear's claws, a massive energy ball with a diameter of twenty meters, under the enhancement of the two Miracle powers, suddenly formed between the Earth Brown Bear's palms!
At this moment, the Aura fluctuating on the energy ball completely surpassed the Grand Sage Master Realm, directly approaching a true Supreme!
"Slap!" Jiangshan slapped out.
Without using the power of a Miracle, relying solely on the power of his Martial Soul, he slapped the accumulating ultimate move of Beast Supreme, sending him flying onto the more distant sand and soil!
And the Earth Brown Bear Martial Soul also let out a mournful roar, and the Miracles on its arms, which were already broken, directly shattered!
This made Beast Supreme repeatedly vomit blood.
If his physique wasn't three meters tall, he really wouldn't have enough blood to vomit.
"What's there to pretend in front of a Supreme? Overestimating yourself!" Jiangshan suddenly appeared beside Beast Supreme, kicked out, and Beast Supreme was kicked away like a ball again.
When Jiangshan was about to chase after him again, a voice made him stop his actions.
"Grandpa Jiangshan, let's capture them all. It won't be easy to sell them if they're beaten to death."
...
It was night.
An important piece of news swept across more than half of the Martial Soul Continent like a hurricane in an instant, becoming known to all major forces!
Another newly promoted Supreme was added to the world!
The Supreme was the Lord Jiangshan, and the moment he became a Supreme, he directly apprehended over thirty Grand Sage Masters and captured and imprisoned all of them!
Whether it was becoming a Supreme or imprisoning over thirty Grand Sage Masters, either of these two pieces of news was a major event.
Combined, it spread even wider!
Man Bear Academy.
The Dean, who was stroking a five-meter-tall giant bear beside him, received an urgent letter today.
Looking at the letter in his hand, the Dean opened it with a slight doubt.
'Beast Supreme, for destroying our Jiangshan City's protective formation, persecuting our Jiangshan City's citizens, and attempting to plunder our Jiangshan City's wealth, has already been imprisoned by our Jiangshan City.'
'Respected Dean Hall, if you want to take Beast Supreme home, prepare ten million god temple coins.'
"Bang!" After reading the content of the letter, Hall slammed the envelope in his hand onto the desk beside him with a dark expression: "Too deceitful! Insatiable greed!"
Similar situations were also playing out in other forces.
woman's country, Lingluo Academy.
The leader of the Academy looked at the information from Jiangshan City in her hand, her face also carrying a hint of coldness.
"Should this old woman make a trip and forcibly snatch back Great Saint Baichou? The Lord Jiangshan has only just been promoted to Supreme, and he actually dares to demand money from us like this, he's simply courting death!" Beside the woman Dean, an Old Woman's voice was cold.
The woman Dean exhaled a fragrant breath: "The other party is already a Supreme-level powerhouse, not a Grand Sage Master. The Linshan Country Royal Family will certainly try every means to win over such a powerhouse. If we go to Jiangshan City to attack him, we won't be able to avoid the Linshan Country Royal Family."
"Moreover, with the same number of Miracles, it's impossible to kill the other party."
"I heard that the Aura revealed by the Lord Jiangshan's second Miracle might even come from a fifty-thousand-year-old exotic beast. If we really fight, you might not gain any advantage."
Rubbing her aching brow, the woman said indifferently: "Let's pay the money. The Soul Card Master College Entrance Examination is approaching, so let's not stir up trouble."
"Let's just consider that money as deposited with them. After the Soul Card Master College Entrance Examination is over, we'll go find them to settle this account!" The woman Dean was still relatively calm.
However, looking at her posture, this debt will definitely be recovered later!
...
Jiangshan City.
Tonight, the Town was filled with singing and dancing, celebrating the Lord Jiangshan's Breakthrough today and the elimination of the City-destroying crisis today. The entire City celebrated joyfully, it was very lively.
"I said our City wouldn't be destroyed by those guys, the City Lord would definitely save us! Look at that guy Lao Zhang, when the protective formation was broken, he directly ran ten miles away. People like that are fence-sitters, and they still have the nerve to come eat and drink at the banquet!"
"You're still talking about Lao Zhang, didn't you run too?"
"How can mine be the same? I only ran five miles, he ran ten miles! From the distance we ran, you can see that I at least trust our City Lord twice as much as Lao Zhang!"
"Looks like it."
"Hey, let's not talk about this. Let's talk about those Demon Hall people who attacked us and almost destroyed our Jiangshan City, how will the City Lord deal with them?"
"What dealing with Demon Hall people, those people are not Demon Hall people at all. I've tolerated you guys randomly labeling Demon Hall people in the past, but this time it's too outrageous!" In the crowd, a young man said very dissatisfiedly.
His words immediately drew dissatisfaction from several people around who were eating meat and drinking heavily: "Randomly labeling? Those people were originally guys from the Demon Hall, what are you refuting when you don't know anything?"
"I myself am from the Demon Hall! What do you mean I don't know anything? I know much more than you guys. The guy who stole someone else's wife in the Town has never been from our Demon Hall. The person who put the label on the Demon Hall is the one most likely to be the real culprit who stole someone's wife!"
The young man's words were full of frustration, and after speaking, he finally felt a sense of relief from releasing everything.
As his words fell, the surroundings quieted down, and everyone's gaze was focused on him.
"Who are you talking about?! What do you mean everyone who labels the Demon Hall is a wife-stealer? I, Old Wang, didn't do that at all, don't slander people!"
A sentence that should have broken the silence instead plunged the scene into an even stranger quietness.
On this day of celebration, another major case in the Town was solved.
In the upper floors.
The quiet Du Xingchen and several teammates were each sitting cross-legged in their respective secret rooms, Cultivating and integrating what they had gained in Jiaolong Valley.
The main reason was that the power increase bestowed by the Dragon God made their overall strength slightly unstable.
Only after mastering it proficiently could they truly unleash the strength of that Realm.
After a while.
Du Xingchen slowly opened his eyes: "93%"
This was the Cultivation progress of the Fourth Soul Token.
At his level, he could completely integrate the Fifth Soul Card.
But for a smoother and more prosperous future, he still suppressed the urge to absorb the Fifth Soul Card.
"Buzz~"
A communication token on his body vibrated slightly.
Du Xingchen took it out and glanced at it, then narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Moyun has entered Jiangshan City, the woman beside him is gone, and he is now on his way to see the City Lord."
The information was conveyed to him by the commander named Great Wind.
During the daytime today, after Jiangshan captured those Grand Sage Masters alive, Du Xingchen once again issued an order to Great Wind to pay attention to Moyun's actions.
Moyun, this protagonist, has always been Du Xingchen's opponent, and open and secret struggles are unavoidable.
Therefore, paying attention to the other party is very necessary.
For example, this current information is very important.
Moyun had been refused a meeting with Jiangshan once before, and even his token of trust was smashed. This time, he still went to see Jiangshan resolutely. It seems he already knows about his relationship with Jiangshan.
After all, the information that these people were rescued by Jiangshan in the past two days is no longer a secret.
"Let him leave." Du Xingchen sent the message to Commander Great Wind through the communication token.
Although even if Moyun sees Jiangshan now, he can't change anything. After all, Jiangshan was able to break through to the Supreme Realm, which was originally hopeless for his entire life, with his help. This favor cannot be shaken by a few words from Moyun.
But letting the two meet wouldn't bring anything good for himself either. It's better to send him away, which is truly straightforward and safe.
The upper area of Jiangshan City.
Moyun looked at the guards blocking the staircase entrance in front of him, not allowing him to enter, his face gloomy: "I have important business to see the Lord Jiangshan. Can you afford the responsibility if you delay it?!"
"Sorry, the Lord Jiangshan is not seeing anyone."
"You haven't even notified him, so how do you know if he's willing to see me?!" Moyun still didn't give up.
Originally, he had the intention of acknowledging his relative later with Jiangshan as his backing, but upon learning today that the other party had actually become a Supreme, he could no longer remain calm for a moment.
A Supreme!
Such an existence could completely help him find the real culprit who killed his Father, and even help him seek revenge!
Of course, during the process of going to see Jiangshan, Moyun also learned about the relationship between Du Xingchen and Jiangshan, which was like that between an elder and a Young Master.
This was also one of the main reasons for his bad mood along the way.
Combined with what the Goddess had said to him before, subtly, his speculation about Du Xingchen's hidden side became deeper!
"Please go back." The guard gestured indifferently and calmly.
This made Moyun clench his fists: "Is it Du Xingchen?! Is it Du Xingchen who is not letting me see Jiangshan, right?!"
Saying this, his gaze was exceptionally cold as he looked at the guard in front of him. Although he didn't see any change in the guard's expression, the idea in his heart became even more firm.
"Please tell Du Xingchen, I, Moyun, will make him pay the price for all his actions and all his schemes. I mean what I say!"
As the words fell, the A Man decisively and resolutely turned around and left in indignation.
Not long after.
Du Xingchen in the secret room received the information sent by Commander Great Wind.
Looking at the message within, Du Xingchen was slightly surprised.
He actually called him out so openly.
It seems that besides the point about his relationship with Jiangshan, Moyun also seems to have learned more information from the Goddess who has already left!
And the information that the Goddess could provide to Moyun would, of course, not be information that was beneficial to himself.
Perhaps from now on, his confrontation with Moyun is no longer a hidden one, but an open battle!
