There was a place called Nanchuan Village around seventy kilometers away from Lingzhou City.
But now, Nanchuan Village had become an uninhabited village. The residents of the village had all moved half a month ago.
At the moment, the Sixth Elder of the Sky Demon Cult and three Decans were standing in the courtyard of a spacious farmhouse, with the many Sky Demon Cultists standing in front of them.
"What's going on?"
"Didn't Pain Star say that she had gained control over a hundred Feral corpses and almost 1200 Feral Beasts?"
"Two rank-eights including the horned boar and Killer Star, two rank-seven pinnacle martial artists including the Earthen Majesty Heavenly General and the Earthen Diction Heavenly General, and the Earthen Savage Heavenly General … and they actually failed to take Lingzhou City?"
"Not only did they fail to take Lingzhou City, they actually vanished for no reason? Are they dead, alive, captured, or killed? And you don't even know? "
Sixth Elder's face was filled with rage, and his voice was hysterical.
The other Sky Demon Cultists were shuddering, with one of them quietly saying, "Calm down, Sixth Elder. Lady Pain Star told us to lay low and obey orders … we didn't expect things to turn out like this."
"Lady Pain Star said that she would attack from Jinyintan Village to kill Jiang He before charging all the way to Lingzhou City. We've been lying in wait near the city, but who knew that Pain Star wouldn't come out?"
"By the way, there was a huge explosion at Jinyintan Village, with military reinforcements … could it be …"
He hung his head.
Not even daring to look Sixth Elder in the eye.
Inwardly.
Grumbling incessantly.
What's the use of yelling at us?
We're just normal cultists, with the weakest being rank-two and the strongest being B-class Awakened. Who would dare to disobey Pain Star's orders?
Sixth Elder's gaze twitched then.
"Jinyintan Village? Explosion?"
"Jiang He … the rank-five martial artist who foiled the Holy Faith's plans multiple times and killed the Tranquil Heavenly General and the Earth Demon Heavenly General?"
Sixth Elder mused to himself for a long time before somberly saying, "Contact headquarters. I want all information on Jiang He. Send people out to keep asking about the outcome of last night's battle. We must get hold of it!"
The Sky Demon Cult's spies in Lingzhou City had all been uprooted the last time, and they were now in the dark about the situation in Lingzhou City.
They were not even aware that Chen Jingzhou had left Lingzhou City for the time being, or they would have charged there long ago. When that happened, the MAD and the military would have to consider the hundreds of thousands of civilians in Lingzhou City if they wanted to retake the city.
… …
Meanwhile, Jiang He had arrived at Lingzhou City in his sports car.
When he entered the city, there was a small incident.
He was stopped by the police.
The reason for stopping the car was "driving without a license plate".
Jiang He was immediately upset. 'I don't even have a driving license. Why would I need a license plate?'
Driving without a license was even more serious.
Still, Jiang He did not shake his body to scare the police, nor did he tell them how awesome he was. He merely quietly opened the car door and pointed at the driver's seat.
"Mr. Policeman, this car of mine doesn't have a steering wheel, gear lever, brake, accelerator, or clutch. Why do I need a driver's license?"
"…"
Jiang He drove away even as the policeman was left dumbfounded.
"I can't go on like this. I'll have to grow a driver's license later …"
Inside the city.
First, Jiang He went to a real estate center.
Unexpectedly, the real estate industry did not falter due to the Revival of Qi and the Ferals rampaging. Instead, it became more popular, since it was safer to live inside the city than outside.
Moreover, the government had a tight grip on property prices, and had imposed purchase restrictions.
Dare to raise prices on a whim?
Directly seize them!
Recklessly hoarding properties?
Directly seize them!
Special times call for special measures. Since the real estate companies were selling and the rich wanted to buy their own houses in the city, it would reduce the burden on the government.
Once he entered the real estate center, Jiang He was shocked by the rowdy scene before him. It was simply packed with people, and he even had to queue up to view a model room.
Jiang He was too lazy to queue up.
He went straight to the manager.
The manager of the real estate company was very cocky, and spoke immediately upon meeting him, "Want to buy a house? Get in line. "
There were too many people buying houses recently and there was no need to worry about not being able to sell, which was why such a reaction was normal.
Jiang He smiled. "I'm in a hurry, and I'm not buying a house. I remember that you guys had developed a mansion district before, and I want to buy one."
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse."
"I've seen the ads here, and it seems that martial artists and Awakened can enjoy the privilege of not having to queue up?"
Jiang He gently placed his palm on the wall.
Then, he removed his palm to find a deep palm mark on the sturdy concrete wall. The manager promptly put on a smile, saying, "Please wait a moment, my lord. By the way, what kind of mansion model do you need? If I remember correctly, we should have a batch here. I'll have someone send it to you right away. "
Around half an hour later.
Jiang He walked out of the real estate center with a mansion model in his arms.
It was a three-storey standalone building.
The style of the mansion was a mix of western and western styles, and it was modern and minimalist. It looked fine, and as for the inside … it was just a model. Jiang He did not care what was inside, and he would let it be what it was planted.
"I have a mansion. Next up is a maid."
That thing was a little difficult to get, and Jiang He could not buy one even after visiting several supermarkets.
After asking around, he found out that someone actually recommended him to look at an adult toy store or a paper funerary shop.
Are you f * cking kidding me?
Why would I go to an adult toy store to buy a maid doll?
That was why Jiang He found a paper funerary shop and entered. As expected, there were many paper dolls with cute designs, with some of them being life-like celebrities. Jiang He even saw a few foreign celebrities, and one of them was very familiar. Her surname seemed to be Cang or Jing, and she had a hot figure, which happened to be a maid.
The only thing that left Jiang He unsatisfied was …
Why did the maid costume look so erotic?
"Boss, isn't this a funeral shop? Why are you selling paper dolls?"
The shop owner grinned. "Some people have a taste for that, and their friends and relatives would occasionally burn some for them."
Jiang He understood with a start.
Should I burn a dozen for my late "grandfather"?
Forget it. That was not appropriate.
After buying the familiar celebrity, Jiang He told the shop owner to pack her up and stuff her into his car. Only then did he drive to the Martial Arts Department (MAD), ready to trade with Mu Wanqiu, when he ran into Cheng Dongfeng just as he entered the building.
"Jiang He, the weapon Commander Chen promised you has arrived. I was about to deliver it to you."
Behind Cheng Dongfeng was a military-grade truck.
The truck was covered with a military-green cloth, and Cheng Dongfeng tore it away to reveal boxes.
Jiang He jumped off the truck and found Cheng Dongfeng opening one of the boxes and taking out a rocket launcher, saying, "This is a PF-89 rocket launcher, a portable lightweight rocket launcher that weighs just 3.6 kilograms …"
Cheng Dongfeng then opened another box.
He took out a larger rocket launcher.
With a somber look on his face, he introduced, "This is the M4088 nuclear rocket launcher, a technology that only three countries have mastered at the moment. It can be fitted with a lightweight nuclear warhead that has the power of 20 tons of TNT, and a single shot could blow up a small military base. It is the most powerful individual combat weapon at the moment!"
