Now that the Dragon God Kung had improved greatly, Jiang Chen had also set his sights on the Eight Desolation Qi.
After all, even the Supersonic Sword-Drawing Technique had become the Lightspeed Sword-Drawing Technique. The Qi Refinement technique that was originally the fastest to cultivate had now become the slowest.
Boom!!!
The remaining monsters all knelt down.
It would have been fine if they didn't kneel, but once they did, the ground shook.
"Amazing!!!"
Xu Jiangnan, who had just opened her eyes, could not help but open her mouth wide when she saw this scene.
"What a sexy little cherry. I don't know which stinky man will benefit from this."
He Li, who was healing Xu Jiangnan, saw Xu Jiangnan's mouth. As a woman, she could not help but sigh.
"Eh, Junior Sister Jiang, why is your face so hot? Could it be that your injuries have worsened?"
After dealing with the monsters, Jiang Chen turned around and saw that Xu Jiangnan's expression was not right.
"Don't worry, her injuries have not worsened. She's just shy."
He Li rolled her eyes and glared fiercely at Jiang Chen.
"Hehe, Xu Shimei looks really good when she blushes."
Seeing He Li's expression, Jiang Chen understood that he had been worrying too much.
However, looking at Xu Jiangnan's current appearance, it was really different.
After all, she usually looked like a cold heroine.
"None of the men are good."
He Li spat.
"Yes!!"
Bai Lian, who was standing at the side, saw this and nodded in agreement.
"I!!!"
Jiang Chen glanced at the two women. When did he provoke them again?
"What are you looking at? I'm hungry. Get me something to eat."
He Li glared back at Jiang Chen.
"Um … Jiang Chen, I'm thirsty too!!!"
Imitating He Li's tone, White Lotus also said softly.
However, unlike He Li's domineering tone, White Lotus's voice sounded like she was acting coquettishly.
"I, I … I … want to eat fruit!!"
Xu Jiangnan hesitated for a moment when he saw the two women behaving in such a manner. Then, he followed suit.
"You!!!"
Jiang Chen looked at the three women strangely. 'What's wrong with them? Why are they speaking in the same tone?'
And from the looks of it, they seemed to have formed an alliance.
But … That's not right. I don't have any grudges with them. Why would they form an alliance?
"Hehehe …"
Hundreds of meters away, Jiang Chen could vaguely hear the bell-like laughter of three women.
"We're sisters from now on. How about this? I'm the oldest, so I'll be your big sister."
Looking at the two women beside her, He Li waved her hand and said in a domineering manner.
"Why are you the oldest? I clearly look older than you."
As the saying goes, people under the eaves have no choice but to lower their heads.
However, when it came to such matters, White Lotus became bolder.
Without another word, she was dissatisfied.
"That's right. I think you're not even as big as me."
Xu Jiangnan didn't know why, but he also muttered.
"If I say I'm the oldest, then I'm the oldest."
"If you're not convinced, let's fight!!!"
Since the hard way didn't work, He Li used an even harder way.
"You're obviously bullying us!!!"
Looking at He Li's unyielding attitude, Bai Lian choked with anger.
"Becoming sworn brothers is all about being willing. How can you force us like this?"
As a heroine, Xu Jiangnan was the most loyal to her friends.
"The eldest brother is like a father, and the eldest sister is like a mother. I'm just that domineering. Are you convinced?"
He Li said ruthlessly, "Even if you're not convinced, you can't do anything. I'm the strongest, so I have the final say."
White Lotus and Xu Jiangnan looked at each other, but their faces were full of resentment.
"Hurry up and call a big sister."
He Li's mouth curled up, and she was extremely pleased with herself.
"No!!"
White Lotus turned her head to the side.
"I … won't call her either."
When Xu Jiangnan saw that her Senior Sister was like this, she also followed suit.
"Well done, you guys are really ungrateful things."
"I've already treated your injuries. It's fine if you don't thank me, but you're not even willing to call me big sister."
"That's true!!!"
In the end, He Li shook her head and sighed, as if she was very disappointed.
White Lotus was stunned, but she remained silent.
On the other hand, Xu Jiangnan looked troubled and hesitated.
"Look at you. You just came back from the King of Hell."
"It was Jiang Chen who saved you, but who's the one who's treating you now?"
"It's me, He Li, your big sister."
"And you, I don't want to criticize you, but the demonic aura has entered your body. If it wasn't for me, you would have become a demonic person."
"Hey, your injuries haven't healed yet, but you're already so arrogant."
"Ah!! I don't owe you anything. Now that I'm asking you to call me big sister, it's as if I've wronged you. "
"You should know that I'm a master of the spirit qi realm, on the same level as your master."
"Just now, I was fighting side by side with your master. Don't even mention how dangerous that battle was."
"Just a little bit more, just a little bit more, and your master would have died there."
"I'm your savior and your master's comrade. You're wronged to call me big sister."
He Li first pointed at Xu Jiangnan and said. She buried her head under two steamed buns.
Then, He Li changed the topic and looked at White Lotus and scolded her.
In the end, seeing that the two of them didn't say anything, He Li directly mentioned their master.
As expected, once their master was mentioned, the two of them couldn't hold it in anymore.
"How's our master?"
The two of them asked at the same time, but they looked at He Li with a worried expression.
"Hmm???"
He Li gently pushed her palm, and the two of them turned their heads back.
"Big sister, my good big sister, hurry up and tell me!!!"
White Lotus, who had been arrogant a moment ago, became delicate in the blink of an eye.
"Big sister, I admit that you're my big sister. Hurry up and tell me what happened to our master."
Xu Jiangnan, on the other hand, was very straightforward. He directly boarded He Li's pirate ship.
"That's a good boy!!"
He Li narrowed her eyes, but her face was full of enjoyment.
"Big sister, my good big sister, hurry up and tell me, how's our master?"
White Lotus asked impatiently.
Xu Jiangnan also turned his head repeatedly.
"Don't worry, with me and Jiang Chen around, nothing will happen to your master."
He Li then told them about the battle with the Tree of Dead Souls, but she also exaggerated her great achievements.
"Master entrusted the two of us to Jiang Chen?"
White Lotus's face lit up, but her heart was even happier.
"Master, he … why didn't he bring me along?"
Unlike White Lotus, Xu Jiangnan was a sword fanatic.
She had just become Teacher Xu's disciple and was thirsting for a sword, but Teacher Xu just had to leave at this time.
"Every swordsman has their own path to walk."
Of course, that includes you. "
Jiang Chen's voice sounded at this moment.
In fact, Jiang Chen had returned long ago, but he hadn't come out.
He only came out after the three girls had confirmed their relationship.
"Forget the nonsense, you were so slow. Are you trying to starve us to death!!"
He Li rolled her eyes and ignored Jiang Chen's lecture.
"Come, come, you've worked hard. Hurry up and eat!!!"
Jiang Chen knew how sharp He Li's mouth was, so he didn't dare to offend her.
Besides, He Li had helped him a lot this time. If not for her sudden arrival, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on for so long.
He might even have died under the ambush of the Tree of Dead Souls.
"It's irresponsible of your master to leave just like that."
"That's why no man is good."
Taking the food from Jiang Chen's hands, He Li didn't forget to insult him again.
"Big Sister is right!"
Glancing at Jiang Chen, White Lotus seemed to have thought of something.
"If Big Sister and Second Sister say so, then so be it."
Under He Li's terrifying gaze, Xu Jiangnan hurriedly said casually.
As the saying goes, three girls make a play. Under He Li's lead, White Lotus and Xu Jiangnan went completely astray.
This made it hard for Jiang Chen. Not only did he have to take care of the three girls, but he also had to work hard to kill demons.
Fortunately, it had only been three days.
This was because Jiang Chen had already arrived at Redwater City, and this was where he met up with Jiang Cheng and Jiang Wei.
....
"Lord Zhang, we've already paid ten thousand taels of silver. Isn't that enough sincerity?"
Seeing the monkey's mouth open, Jiang Cheng's anger had reached its limit.
After arriving at Redwater City three days ago, they were targeted by the City Lord of Redwater City.
Although they had dealings before, they weren't as greedy as this time.
This was because the City Lord of Redwater City demanded a thousand taels of silver from Father Jiang on the first day.
At that time, Jiang Cheng didn't even think and gave it to him.
The next day, the City Lord asked for ten thousand taels of silver without hesitation.
In order to not cause trouble, Father Jiang endured it.
But on the third day, the City Lord of Redwater City demanded a hundred thousand taels of silver from Father Jiang on the grounds that Lincheng County was a place plagued by demons.
This made Jiang Cheng unable to endure it any longer. After all, he was well aware of his son's strength.
He had been tolerating it previously because he wanted to stall for time.
But now, not only did he not stall for time, he even raised an exorbitant demand.
If he agreed now, where would he find the money if the City Lord asked for a million taels of silver tomorrow and ten million taels the day after?
So, Jiang Cheng was as direct as giving money. He rejected it without even thinking.
Bang!
Hearing Jiang Cheng's rejection, Zhang Qi became furious and smashed the table with his palm.
At the same time, he said ruthlessly, "Now that demons are running rampant in Chanzhou, your Jiang family fled from Lincheng County."
"Is a hundred thousand taels of silver a lot? It seems that you don't have the sincerity to stay in Redwater City. "
"In that case, don't blame our City Lord for kicking you out."
Zhang Qi sneered. The City Lord had the final say in the entire Redwater City.
This foreign country bumpkin was a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. He could do whatever he wanted.
"What a big tone. This city belongs to the Da Xia dynasty. Does it belong to your City Lord? How can you kick us out just like that? Is there any law in this world?"
The angry Jiang Wei thought of his third brother's ability and questioned.
"Law? How dare you mention the law to me!"
Zhang Qi, who was about to leave after saying ruthless words, became excited when he heard Jiang Wei's words.
"I'll tell you now. I'm the law here."
"You want to see the law? Okay, I'll show you what the law is!"
With a hideous grin, Zhang Xuan clenched his fists so tightly that they cracked.
"Don't fight. I'll give you 100,000 taels of silver."
Jiang Cheng's face darkened. He wanted to pay to avoid disaster.
"Father, our money doesn't grow on trees. We can't give it to him."
"Besides, if we really want to give it to him, we should give it to those whose families are separated. How can we give it to them?"
Jiang Wei was smart. Usually, Jiang Cheng was behind the scenes and he was in charge of all the properties of the Jiang family.
Now that he said this, he was completely angry.
After all, the Jiang family was a respectable family. In addition, his third brother's bravery gave him the greatest confidence.
Jiang Wei really didn't take Zhang Yang seriously. Zhang Yang was just a lapdog raised by someone else. If it was in the past, he wouldn't have taken Zhang Yang seriously.
"Tsk, tsk. It seems that you're used to being a local tyrant in Lincheng County and don't know the rules in Chishui City yet!"
Zhang Qi had made up his mind to punish Jiang Wei as an example to others. Therefore, he didn't hesitate at all and was ready to beat Jiang Wei half to death.
"Now, I'll teach you what the rules are."
While speaking, Zhang Qi put one hand on Jiang Wei's shoulder.
"Don't fight. It's just 100,000 taels of silver."
"I'll give it to you now. At the same time, to show our disrespect, I'll give you another 10,000 taels of silver."
Seeing Zhang Qi's action, Jiang Cheng immediately said.
"Old man, you should have said so earlier."
At this point, Zhang Qi didn't withdraw his hand.
Instead, he put his hand on Jiang Wei's shoulder and said, "But I've changed my mind now. I want 1,000,000 taels of silver. As for me, I don't need much. 100,000 taels of silver will do."
Looking at Jiang Wei's complacent face, Jiang Cheng's face darkened.
"What's wrong?"
"I can't bear to give it to you!"
Zhang Qi sneered and said, "It's said that the Jiang family dug into the monster's nest because of gold mining. Otherwise, why would they run out?"
"You're the sinners of the entire Chanzhou. I'm collecting some silver from you to accumulate good karma for you."
Looking at Zhang Qi's face, Jiang Wei was unable to restrain his anger. However, his shoulder was pressed down by Zhang Qi and he couldn't resist at all.
"Wei 'er, that's enough."
"This is our fault."
Jiang Cheng thought for a while and said, "1,000,000 taels of silver is too much. We can't afford it."
"We're only left with the property in Chishui City. If you don't mind, I'll give you all the land deeds tomorrow."
"If you can't even wait for a day, I'll give these properties to the City Lord."
At first, Zhang Qi was overjoyed. However, when he heard Jiang Cheng's last sentence, his eyes became gloomy and uncertain.
Although he came on the City Lord's orders, the City Lord didn't let him directly collect so much.
Instead, he wanted to boil the frog in warm water. This was the City Lord's intention.
However, if this continued, he wouldn't get much benefit.
If he handed 100,000 taels of silver to the City Lord and the rest belonged to him …
But did he have to wait until tomorrow?
He glanced at Jiang Cheng and wondered what kind of trouble he would cause.
Zhang Qi knew that even if he got it, it might not be his.
However, the premise was that he had to get it first. Otherwise, it definitely wouldn't be his.
"Tomorrow is too long. I can't wait."
Zhang Qi said condescendingly, "Give me your properties now and I'll guarantee your safety in Chishui City."
