They all started to flee the Jiang Residence. Xiao Chen extended out his Spiritual Sense and ignored the cultivators fleeing for their lives. He wanted to find the Jiang Clan's hidden treasure trove.
There were sounds of fighting coming from a pavilion on the west side of the Jiang Residence. Occasionally, people would run out with large piles of gold, silver, and jewels, rushing out of the government office.
With a great calamity looming over them, the Jiang Clan cultivators were thrown into confusion. This was clearly the Jiang Clan's hidden treasure trove.
Xiao Chen laughed gently and stood on the Golden Lion King's back as it flew away. A cool breeze blew past as Xiao Chen's blood-stained hair fluttered in the wind. Along the way, he crushed countless pavilions and walls, leaving behind ruins.
When the Jiang Clan cultivators in the hidden treasure trove saw Xiao Chen's figure, they were startled. Before Xiao Chen got close, they had already scattered.
Xiao Chen jumped down and gave the Golden Lion King a berserk command. After that, he ignored it. After using it this time, the Golden Lion King would immediately shatter. There was no way to save it.
Walking to the hidden treasure trove, Xiao Chen swallowed another Qi Returning Pill. Then, he extended his Spiritual Sense out. All the scenes within the vicinity appeared in his mind. A secret room at the bottom of the treasury attracted Xiao Chen's attention.
Relying on the guidance of his Spiritual Sense, Xiao Chen passed through countless secret passages and secret compartments. He quickly arrived at the secret room below. A huge stone door blocked the way; it was clear there was a mechanism there.
The stone floor was about two meters thick. Xiao Chen could not be bothered to look for the mechanism. He condensed a strand of purple flame on his fingertip. The purple flame spun continuously. Every time it spun, Xiao Chen's Essence would be depleted rapidly.
"Shoot!"
Xiao Chen shouted and the spinning Purple Thunder True Fire shot out. It left a trail of flames in the air as it struck the stone floor. There was a loud sound and a large hole immediately appeared on the stone floor. Cracks spread out in all directions.
After Xiao Chen refined the Purple Thunder True Fire several times, its penetrative power was no longer the same as before. Seeing the hole in the stone floor, Xiao Chen raised his leg and kicked the stone floor into pieces.
Xiao Chen entered the secret room in a flash. There were rows of sandalwood boxes on the ground. Xiao Chen casually opened one of the boxes and a golden light shone. It was filled with gold, silver, jewels, jades, and pearls.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and swept his Universe Ring. He stored all the boxes in it. There were twenty boxes of treasures; he did not let go of any of them.
Xiao Chen looked at the shelves at the side. The items on the shelves were well organized. One row was Medicinal Pills, one row was Spirit Weapons, and one row was Martial Techniques and Battle Armor.
On the last shelf, Xiao Chen saw a row of Inferior Grade Spirit Stones. There were more than two hundred of them. Above the Spirit Stones, there were more than a hundred Essence Light Arrows.
Xiao Chen was overjoyed. He could not be bothered to count them. He swept his Universe Ring and stored everything in it. Even so, Xiao Chen spent more than ten minutes before he emptied the entire secret room.
"Hu Chi!" Before Xiao Chen left, he set fire to the remaining shelves in the secret room. Then, he quickly left.
The Golden Lion King ran amok in the Jiang Residence. Flames flew everywhere. In its berserk state, it was like a huge destructive machine. The entire Jiang Residence was in a state of chaos and raging flames.
Xiao Chen looked into the distance. Four warships were flying over quickly. The people of the various noble clans had received the news and were rushing over.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and a silver warship flew out from his right eye. He leaped onto the bow and turned into a silver bolt of lightning, leaving quickly.
Not long after Xiao Chen left, a black warship stopped in front of the Jiang Residence. The Jiang Clan's Clan Head, Jiang Mingxun, looked at the Jiang Residence, which was now in ruins. He had a desolate expression on his face. His eyes were filled with disbelief.
Jiang Mingxun said with a pale complexion, "We have let down our ancestors. Hundreds of years of foundation is gone just like that."
"Clan Head, quickly go to the Hidden Treasure Pavilion and take a look. As long as the Jiang Clan's hundreds of years of accumulation is still there, there is no need to worry about not having a chance to make a comeback," a consecrated elder of the Jiang Clan behind Jiang Mingxun said.
Jiang Mingxun reacted and said loudly, "Right! Right! There is also the Hidden Treasure Pavilion. My Jiang Clan has accumulated for hundreds of years. There are tens of millions of gold taels and countless Medicinal Pills, Spirit Weapons, and Battle Armor. We will definitely be able to make a comeback."
It was like he had found a life-saving straw. He led the people behind him and quickly ran towards the Hidden Treasure Pavilion.
On the black warship, Ji Changkong looked expressionlessly at the small silver warship that was disappearing into the distance. He said ruthlessly, "Disregard the expenditure of Spirit Stones and chase after him!"
The black warship was like a specter, disappearing from its original spot. In front of it, the Ice Bird under the Duanmu Clan's Profound Ice Palace gave off a resounding cry as it chased after Xiao Chen.
A large group of cultivators gathered in front of the Jiang Residence. When they saw the blazing Jiang Residence, all sorts of feelings welled up in their hearts. Everyone knew that the Jiang Clan was finished this time. They were completely destroyed by a Superior Grade Martial Master.
"Such a large Jiang Clan was actually destroyed by a Superior Grade Martial Master. This is unbelievable!"
"Indeed! This Xiao Chen is too decisive. He took advantage of the time when all the Martial Saints of the Jiang Clan had left to kill his way in. His boldness is indescribable. "
"Do you think that the Jiang Clan still has a chance to rise again?"
"It is impossible. In the past few years, the Jiang Clan has offended many people. Many Martial Grand Masters died in the Ancient Remnant. Now that their foundation has been destroyed, they are completely destroyed."
"This is great. When that bastard son of his was still alive, this old man suffered a lot."
The crowd discussed this. The Jiang Clan, which had been glorious in White Water City for hundreds of years, was gone, just like that. They could not help but feel it was a pity. However, there were even more people who rejoiced in their hearts. They had an expression of schadenfreude on their faces.
"Gone! Everything is gone … "In the secret room of the Hidden Treasure Pavilion, Jiang Mingxun looked at the empty room filled with ashes. There was nothing in the secret room, and he spoke in a crazed manner.
High up in the sky, Xiao Chen rode on the silver warship. He sped through the clouds, moving as fast as lightning. The clouds moved past him quickly.
Xiao Chen stood at the bow of the warship. His hair fluttered in the wind. When Xiao Chen turned his head and saw the Profound Ice Palace chasing after him, he smiled faintly. He recalled the silver warship into his eyes and descended from the sky.
Xiao Chen's body turned into a meteor, and after a while, he landed on the ground with a loud bang. His figure completely disappeared from the Profound Ice Palace's sight.
Half a month later, the various noble clans doubled the bounty on Xiao Chen's head once again. When the news came out, there was an uproar. The name "Xiao Chen" became known to everyone in the Great Qin Nation.
He became the topic of conversation after meals. There were many discussions about Xiao Chen's identity. There were also countless versions of how he became enemies with the various noble clans.
In Liushang Pavilion, Kim Tae-ho cursed, "What a beast! This Fat Lord only dares to occasionally take a few pieces of meat from him. This brat actually wiped out the Jiang Clan in one go."
A manservant ran over with a stack of contracts in his hands. He smiled at Kim Tae-ho and said, "Young Master, the territories of the Jiang Clan have all been bought out. The City Lord's seal has already been stamped on them."
What surprised the manservant was that Fatso did not have a pleased smile on his face. He slowly received the contracts and said, "Boring, there is no challenge at all. This Fat Lord is not a normal failure."
The manservant did not understand and asked, "How can that be? Young Master, you bought all these restaurants and refineries at a price that was practically zero."
Fatso cursed, "What do you know? That brat took all the money. That was money and banknotes. Just thinking about it makes me sad. If I had known earlier, this Fat Lord would have done it myself."
On a mountain in the Misty Sword Sect, Chu Chaoyun stood at the summit. When he heard the news, he smiled faintly. A gentle breeze blew and his clothes fluttered, making him look like he was floating in the morning.
A delicate and pretty girl carrying a sword on her back leaped over from the foot of the mountain. Her figure was exquisite, like a dancing butterfly. Soon, she arrived behind Chu Chaoyun and said, "Senior Brother, the Sect Master wants to see you in the great hall."
When Chu Chaoyun saw this girl, he revealed a gentle smile. He nodded gently and followed her down the mountain.
After another half a month, another piece of important news came out. Xiao Chen had invested twenty million gold taels in the Flying Snow Manor. As long as someone could kill a noble clan disciple, they could go to the Flying Snow Manor and receive a thousand gold taels. The higher the rank of the person killed, the higher the reward.
If one killed a noble clan heir or someone of equal status, they could receive five million gold taels and a Medial Grade Spirit Stone.
"Three years later, I will personally kill my way to the noble clans that placed bounties on me. I will not go back on my word!" Accompanying this piece of news was Xiao Chen's declaration to the various noble clans.
The Flying Snow Manor was an assassin organization spread across the entire continent. Aside from the assassins in the manor, some cultivators could also go to the manor to issue or accept missions.
However, since the founding of the Great Qin Nation, the Flying Snow Manor had never received such a large number of missions before. Not only was there twenty million gold taels, there was also a rare Medial Grade Spirit Stone. It was hard not to be tempted.
When the news came out, the world was thrown into an uproar. No one had expected that someone would dare to challenge the noble clans at the same time. These noble clans had existed since the time of the Tianwu Dynasty. They had innate bloodlines and inherited Martial Spirits. Some of them had even existed for tens of thousands of years.
Their strength was extremely horrifying. Now, there was an insignificant Superior Grade Martial Master who dared to challenge them. This made people feel that the world had changed.
Dongming Province, Dongming City, this was the center of the entire Dongming Province. It was also one of the most bustling cities in the Great Qin Nation. The streets were bustling with people and the sounds of people hawking their wares could be heard.
Xiao Chen turned into an ordinary-looking youth and slowly walked on the streets. In the past month or so, Xiao Chen had not seen anyone.
Aside from making a trip to the Flying Snow Manor, he spent the rest of his time practicing the Shapeshifting Spell. After a month of bitter practice, he was finally able to use Essence without exposing his appearance.
If he wanted to reach the Heavenly Saber Pavilion in the Xihe Province, the fastest way would be to fly there. However, in the Dongming Province, only Dongming City had a relay station that could cross two prefectures.
Actually, Xiao Chen could use the silver warship to fly to the Xihe Province. Its speed would not be slower than the Spirit Beasts at the relay station. However, there was a very awkward problem. Xiao Chen did not know the way; he did not have any coordinates in the sky.
