In the wilderness, Jiang Wenyuan ran with all his strength. He felt that his Spiritual Qi was being consumed. He didn't know how long it had been since he last felt this way.
After living like a prince for decades, Jiang Wenyuan had the strength of the Innate Realm. However, it was just a realm. It could strengthen his body and allow him to live longer, but it didn't mean that he had combat power.
Jiang Wenyuan had already seen the dazzling light behind him. He couldn't help but feel a trace of sadness in his heart. He knew that Uncle Qi probably couldn't stop Chu Xiu.
However, compared to the sadness, Jiang Wenyuan's heart was also filled with unwillingness.
The Anle Residence had accumulated power for so many years, but in the end, they found that everything was no match for a sentence from the Lu Family. How sad was this?
However, before Jiang Wenyuan could grieve for too long, there was already the sound of wind breaking behind him.
Chu Xiu was dressed in black with a demonic saber at his waist. Blood-colored Gang Qi danced around his body, making him look like a god of death. He looked extremely terrifying.
If it were any other Three Flower Realm warrior, Uncle Qi might have been able to block him for long enough for them to escape. However, Jiang Wenyuan's speed was far from enough.
Looking at Chu Xiu chasing behind him, Jiang Wenyuan's eyes showed endless fear.
When he first met Chu Xiu, he thought of him as a fledgling and wanted to recruit him.
Even not long ago, in Jiang Wenyuan's eyes, Chu Xiu was like an ant. He could kill him if he wanted, as long as he did it cleanly.
He even dared to kill the owner of the Pegasus Ranch, Qiu Zhensheng. What was a mere Chu Xiu to him?
However, it was only now that Jiang Wenyuan realized that without the title of Anle Prince and the power he relied on to survive, he was nothing at all. In terms of pure combat power, he was the ant in front of Chu Xiu!
Seeing that Chu Xiu was getting closer, the fear in Jiang Wenyuan's eyes turned into unwillingness. He shouted, "Chu Xiu! I know you want benefits! Although you can go to the Eastern Qi Emperor to receive a reward if you kill me, you can get even more if you don't kill me! Northern Yan! Western Chu! I have countless assets and accumulations here, and I also … "
However, before Jiang Wenyuan could finish speaking, Chu Xiu's hand moved, and a scarlet red blade light attacked. In an instant, Jiang Wenyuan's head was separated from his body. There was still a look of dissatisfaction in his eyes, but his head was already in Chu Xiu's hand.
Perhaps until his death, Jiang Wenyuan could not believe that Chu Xiu would kill him without even listening to his conditions.
Holding Jiang Wenyuan's head, the Heavenly Demon Dance was not stained with any blood at all. The blood flowed along the edge of the saber to the ground, and the saber remained sharp and dazzling.
Chu Xiu was not interested in Jiang Wenyuan's conditions and he did not plan on going to Northern Yan and West Chu to think about these things. It was more convenient to take Jiang Wenyuan's head to receive his reward.
What's more, Chu Xiu did not intend to forgive those who wanted to kill him. No one could change his mind. Sometimes, having a heart of stone was also a kind of decisiveness.
After searching Jiang Wenyuan's body, there was nothing of value. There were only a few special machine keys, which should be used to store some of the treasures and resources in Prince Anle's Mansion. It was of no use to Chu Xiu.
The entire Prince Anle's Mansion had been ransacked by the Phaseless Demon Sect. The rest of the things would definitely be taken away by the Front Hall Department. It would not be Chu Xiu's turn.
This time, Jiang Wenyuan escaped in a hurry, so he definitely did not bring the rest of the things with him. Therefore, Chu Xiu did not care about the body and directly left with the head.
When Chu Xiu returned with Jiang Wenyuan's head, Han Dongle and Mr. Lu had already disappeared. However, Chu Xiu had already guessed the result.
Facing an expert like Mr. Lu who was only one step away from the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm, Han Dongle was no match at all. He should have been killed by now, and even his body had been cleaned up by Mr. Lu.
When Chu Xiu returned to Prince Anle's Mansion, the battle there had just ended.
The Front Hall Department's Chief Steward Zhang Rang was not in a good state. His neat dark green robe had been torn, and his face was incomparably pale. His originally gloomy aura was now filled with traces of Pure Yang Energy.
However, this was not a good thing. His injury was caused by the Pure Yang Astral Qi entering his body. For a martial artist like him who originally cultivated in evil techniques, it was a hard injury. It would take a while to heal.
However, in front of him, Dou Hanwei was already dead.
Nine Pure Yang Swords were scattered on the ground. More than half of them had been shattered.
Dou Hanwei did not fall, but his face was dark green. His body was emitting corpse energy, and there was a big hole in his chest from Zhang Rang's attack. His heart was nowhere to be seen.
After the battle, this former disciple of the Pure Yang Daoist Sect was defeated by Zhang Rang. He was defeated, which meant he was dead. He had repaid the Jiang Clan's debt of gratitude, even though he had to pay it with his life.
As for the other members of Prince Anle's Mansion, they were either killed or escaped. The entire Prince Anle's Mansion had completely fallen apart.
When they saw Chu Xiu return with Jiang Wenyuan's head, everyone present revealed a strange look.
They did not expect that the one who killed Jiang Wenyuan would be an outsider like Chu Xiu. This made them feel a little regretful and unconvinced.
However, after seeing this scene, Zhang Rang's expression improved a little.
His Majesty had asked him to complete this mission. If he had messed it up, then his impression in His Majesty's heart would be lowered.
Now that Chu Xiu had returned with Jiang Wenyuan's head, and the rest of the members of Prince Anle's Mansion had been mostly killed, Zhang Rang could take these things to report to Lü Hau Chang.
Zhang Rang coughed and said, "Chu Xiu, you've done well this time. I will put in a good word for you in front of His Majesty.
The Eastern Qi Imperial Court will not take a single cent of the rewards promised for the Guanzhong Torture Room mission. Similarly, the few of you have also participated in the killing of Prince Anle's Mansion. I, Eastern Qi, will also reward you according to your contributions.
Especially Chu Xiu. His Majesty will reward you handsomely for killing Jiang Wenyuan. "
After Chu Xiu and the others cupped their hands in thanks, Zhang Rang took Jiang Wenyuan's head and left with his men.
Chu Xiu was not afraid that Zhang Rang would tamper with the credit because he did not dare.
At his position, there were too many people who had their eyes on him. Therefore, Zhang Rang could be said to be very careful and did not dare to cross the line.
Now that they were in public, everyone knew who the credit should be. Zhang Rang could not be greedy for this kind of credit.
When they returned to the inn to rest, Cheng Zhouhai and Zhong Ping were still in a daze. This mission could be said to be the most inexplicable one they had ever carried out.
He had completed it inexplicably, and he had even participated in the mission to kill Prince Anle's Residence.
However, Zhong Ping felt that he had killed quite a lot of people.
Si Ming had taught him all kinds of killing techniques since he was young. When it came to investigating cases, he could not compare to Cheng Zhouhai or even Chu Xiu. However, he was very good at killing people.
Therefore, when he took action this time, the number of people who died in Zhong Ping's hands was almost double that of Cheng Zhouhai.
Two days later, the rewards were handed out.
It was unknown whether it was because Lü Hau Chang was generous or because the Eastern Qi imperial court was rich and overbearing, but the rewards given to Chu Xiu and the others were very generous.
The rewards promised to the Guanzhong Torture Room were all given by the Eastern Qi imperial court. Zhong Ping and Cheng Zhouhai also received a lot of extra rewards according to the number of people they killed. Of course, Zhong Ping received more.
As for Chu Xiu, because he killed Jiang Wenyuan, he received the most preferential treatment.
In addition to giving Chu Xiu a lot of cultivation resources, the Eastern Qi imperial court also gave him an Eight Revolution elixir, the Five Elements Regeneration Elixir.
Generally, elixir pills from First Revolution to Third Revolution were relatively common and could be refined by low-level alchemists.
But the elixir pills from Fourth Revolution to Sixth Revolution not only required the proficiency of the alchemist, but also the accumulation of a lot of precious materials. Even the elixir recipe had to be very strict. A little mistake would lead to the failure of the whole furnace of elixir pills, resulting in heavy losses.
Therefore, most of the elixir pills from Fourth Revolution to Sixth Revolution in Jianghu were only qualified and capable of refining by some big sects.
As for the Seven to Nine Revolution Pills, they were called divine pills by some people. They had powerful effects and were extremely difficult to concoct. The control of the fire was extremely strict. If the person concocting the pill was a little bit off, he would not be able to succeed.
Even most of the elixir pills from Seventh Revolution and above were accidentally produced when the elixir masters were refining other elixir pills. The amount of medicine in the elixir recipe had changed in some way.
But sometimes, this kind of thing could only be found by chance. A lot of materials were consumed. Sometimes, it was possible to refine elixir pills, but most of the time, it was a pile of waste.
Chu Xiu looked at the Five Elements Biotransformation Pill with a strange look in his eyes.
The royal family of Eastern Qi was really considerate. They knew that he was about to step into the Five Qis Collecting in Yuan Realm, so they rushed to give him a Five Elements Biotransformation Pill.
This Five Elements Biotransformation Pill was refined with five extremely precious five elements materials. It could balance the power of the five elements in one's body. The medicinal efficacy would circulate in one's body in an endless cycle, bringing extremely strong medicinal efficacy to the user. For a martial artist like Chu Xiu who was about to break through to the Five Qis Collecting in Yuan Realm, the Five Qis Collecting in Yuan Realm was definitely a great help.
However, Chu Xiu did not refine it right away. If he wanted to refine a God Tier pill of this level, he would need at least a few days.
And now, Chu Xiu had not really polished the Five Qis Collecting in Yuan Realm to its peak.
When Chu Xiu felt that he was almost ready, he could take this Five Elements Biotransformation Pill and break through the bottleneck in one fell swoop with the help of the medicinal efficacy. This would save Chu Xiu a lot of time.
At this time, Chu Xiaode also returned and brought news from Shang Yang.
Cheng Zhouhai and the others did not know when Chu Xiu had hooked up with Chu Xiaode, but they also knew the ways of the world. Chu Xiaode had something to say to Chu Xiu, so they temporarily retreated.
