"Guards!"
The Head Supervisor shouted loudly. Two men immediately ran in from outside the hall. The Head Supervisor pointed at Dong Zhezi and ordered, "Carry this woman to the front hall."
"Yes, my lord."
The two men responded respectfully and went to carry Dong Zhezi. At this moment, Dong Zhezi finally came to her senses. She hastily looked at the Head Supervisor and said anxiously, "Supervisor, I beg the Hall of Assassins. Please don't hand me over to the Jiang Clan. Kill me, kill me." Dong Zhezi's face turned pale. She clenched her teeth and slammed her head against the wall!
"Whew!"
One of the two subordinates, a burly man, suddenly grabbed Dong Zhezi's body, causing her to tumble to the ground. In front of so many experts, Dong Zhezi, who was already a cripple, couldn't even commit suicide if she wanted to.
"Kill you? Hmph. "The Head Supervisor waved his hand.
The two men had already lifted Dong Zhezi. Dong Zhezi struggled frantically in fear, "No, no!" She then looked at Teng Qingshan with pleading eyes. "I beg you, kill me. Kill me. If I fall into the hands of the Jiang Clan, they will torture me to death. I beg you, kill me!!!"
Dong Zhezi was easily carried away by the two strong men amidst her mournful screams.
Dong Zhezi, whose arms had been amputated, couldn't even commit suicide.
"This bitch even threatened Mister just now. Hmph, what a joke." The Head Supervisor sneered and looked at Teng Qingshan with a smile. "Mister Teng, this person has been sent over. The stone inscription will arrive soon. Please wait patiently."
Teng Qingshan nodded.
In just a short while, Teng Qingshan heard Dong Zhezi's mournful screams from afar, as well as a hearty laughter filled with hatred — — "Haha, bitch, you deserve this day!"
The voice caused the Head Supervisor to laugh. "Mister Teng, the Jiang Clan has long hated Dong Zhezi to the core. Even the previous Patriarch of the Jiang Clan was captured and tortured to death." When Teng Qingshan heard this, he nodded his head and sighed in his heart … Just two hours ago, Dong Zhezi was still the Patriarch of the Dong Clan and a Martial Saint of the Innate Realm!
He even wantonly tortured and toyed with Tie Laosan. When facing Teng Qingshan, he could still say, "From today onwards, you are my tenth male concubine."
But in the blink of an eye, she had fallen into the hands of the Jiang family.
"Mister Teng!" Laughter came from outside the hall.
The manager of the Rising Sun Restaurant was smiling as he walked in with a strong man dressed in a green leather coat. This strong man was carrying a bar-shaped object wrapped in a gray cloth on his shoulder.
Teng Qingshan's gaze fell on that strip-shaped object. He stood up with a whoosh, his eyes shining. "It's the same size as the Blunt Vanadium Stone Slab. I reckon it's that stone inscription!"
When the chief steward saw this, he could not help but stand up with a smile.
"Mister Teng, this is one of the thirty-six stone inscriptions left behind by the Godly Axe Deity, Yu the Great." The manager extended his hand and took the stone inscription from the strong man. At the same time, he lifted the gray cloth on the surface of the stone inscription. When the gray cloth was removed, a stone inscription that looked like a piece of jade was revealed!
The stone inscription glowed faintly with a green halo. On the left side of the stone inscription was the inscription of a figure leaping high and swinging an enormous axe. On the right side of the stone inscription was the word "Dao" filled with a murderous aura.
At first glance, even Teng Qingshan could feel a powerful aura surging towards him, as if an enormous axe was cleaving towards him!
"It's the real deal!" Teng Qingshan's eyes shone brightly as he examined the stone inscription. He exclaimed, "As expected of the stone inscription personally carved by the Godly Axe Deity."
"The aura is obviously different from the Blunt Vanadium Stone Slab." The chief steward also stared at the stone inscription and revealed an expression of amazement. "The Godly Axe Deity, Yu the Great, is indeed the godly person who created the cultivation method and spread it throughout the world. An ordinary stone has become so mystical after being carved by him."
Teng Qingshan took two steps forward and formed his right hand into a sharp claw, swiping at the stone inscription.
"Mister Teng!" The chief steward was shocked.
"Mister Teng, don't!" The manager, who was holding the stone inscription, turned pale with fright. However, he did not have the time to dodge.
"Clang ~ ~"
Teng Qingshan clawed the edge of the stone inscription with his right hand, and the sound of metal clashing resounded. Immediately, powder rolled down, and two deep grooves appeared.
When the chief steward saw that Teng Qingshan had only scratched the edge of the stone inscription, and the diagram and the word "Dao" were not damaged, he heaved a sigh of relief. He couldn't help but walk over and say with a bitter smile, "Mister Teng, what are you doing? This is a stone inscription left behind by the Godly Axe Deity. If a piece is damaged, there will be one less. "
"Chief steward, look. Look." The manager stared at the stone inscription in astonishment.
The Head Steward turned his head, and when he saw it, he was also shocked.
The grooves that had been scratched by Teng Qingshan were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few breaths, the stone inscription became undamaged again, as if it had never been damaged.
"This, this … … this is too magical." The chief steward exclaimed.
A smile appeared on Teng Qingshan's face. When he entered the Heavenly Flood Palace in the Great Yan Mountain, the wall of the Heavenly Flood Palace had been like this. Even a Golden Dan Innate Expert would be able to blast a hole in the wall. It would also recover quickly! This stone inscription also contained the Power of Emperor Yu's World.
Because of this, ordinary stones became jade-like. After testing it, it was as expected.
"Manager, wrap up this stone inscription." Teng Qingshan instructed with a smile, "I won't stay any longer. I'll be leaving first."
"Mister, it won't be too late to leave tomorrow." The manager and the chief steward urged him to stay.
However, Teng Qingshan just smiled and shook his head.
"Mister, besides this stone inscription, there are also ten thousand taels of gold." The manager hastily said. Teng Qingshan shook his head and said, "No need!" Ten thousand taels of gold weighed a thousand Jin. The Whole Gale Eagle would fly much slower if it was carried. Moreover, Teng Qingshan didn't care about money anymore. Teng Qingshan didn't care about money.
After all, when he reached the Emptiness Realm, Teng Qingshan would return to the Land of the Nine Prefectures!
Would he bring chests of gold back to the Land of the Nine Prefectures?
Even a million taels of gold was nothing in the eyes of the sects in the Land of the Nine Prefectures.
"This is what we should do." The Head Steward hastily said, "The Rising Sun Trading Company will arrange for someone to send this ten thousand taels of gold to the foot of the Godly Axe Mountain."
Teng Qingshan didn't say anything else. He took the wrapped stone inscription and walked out.
… …
"Screech ~ ~"
Outside Wuan City, Teng Qingshan leaped onto the back of the Whole Gale Eagle. With an excited cry, the Whole Gale Eagle flapped its wings and quickly disappeared into the southwest horizon.

In the main hall of the Dong Clan's mansion in Shuangshan City:
Dozens of people gathered in the main hall. These people were the direct descendants and elites of the Dong Clan. The person sitting on the main seat was a pale, silver-haired elder dressed in a black fur coat. On the chairs on both sides of the hall sat the higher-ups of the Dong Clan. Everyone knew that —
Just over two hours ago, the Patriarch of the Dong Clan, Dong Zhezi, was forcefully broken into the Dong Clan and taken away.
The hall was filled with murmurs of discussion. Some people were extremely furious, but there were also some who occasionally revealed a hint of joy! If Dong Zhezi died, many people would be able to take over the position!
At this moment, a lean man quickly entered the hall.
"Have you found out who that person is?" The silver-haired elder asked coldly.
"Reporting to Grand Elder, according to the portrait, the person who broke into our Dong Clan is the expert, Teng Qingshan, who appeared in Southern Mountain City's Drifting Cloud Mansion not long ago! Rumor has it that this Teng Qingshan's strength is extremely terrifying. Even the Thunder Blade Martial Saint, Fu Dao, is more powerful than him and even respectfully calls him Mister. The Rising Sun Trading Company's Grand Elder is also very friendly to him. According to the information, this Teng Qingshan should be a Golden Core Innate Martial Saint. Moreover … his strength is probably close to the Rising Sun Martial Saint, "the lean man reported respectfully.
Many people in the hall sucked in a cold breath.
The silver-haired elder narrowed his eyes.
Previously … he was sent flying by a kick from Teng Qingshan. The silver-haired elder knew very well that without the strength of a Golden Core Innate Martial Saint, it would be impossible for him to do so.
Immediately, a middle-aged man stood up and said angrily, "This Teng Qingshan broke into the Dong Clan and captured the Patriarch of the Dong Clan. He's too arrogant. It's no different than slapping the face of the Dong Clan. We must avenge this great humiliation!"
"Avenge? Who's going to avenge?" A skinny man with a pale face sneered.
"You, sit down," the silver-haired elder scolded.
The middle-aged man sat down resentfully and helplessly.
In the hall, the higher-ups of the Dong Clan all had their own thoughts. Even if someone said that they would avenge, it was just for show. Avenge? In the Eastern Flower Region, the Dong Clan was considered to have some strength. However, to avenge a Golden Core Innate Martial Saint? If word of this spread, it would be a huge joke.
"Zhezi was captured and his Dantian was destroyed. Even if he survives, he is not qualified to be the Patriarch."
The silver-haired elder looked at the group of people below and said, "From today onwards, Zheyun, you will be the new Patriarch of the Dong Clan." When these words were spoken, the expressions of many people who were originally happy changed. They never expected that … this Grand Elder would directly choose someone to be the Patriarch. He didn't even discuss it.
The refined and handsome middle-aged man stood up and said respectfully, "Yes, Grand Elder."
"Hmm." The silver-haired elder nodded and swept his cold gaze across the people below.
No one dared to disobey his orders.
"Great Grandfather, my mother was captured. Are we not going to do anything about it?" A young girl who bore a striking resemblance to Dong Zhezi but appeared to be more beautiful and lively stood up and said angrily.
"Impudent." The silver-haired elder's face darkened.
"Dong Shi, how can you speak to the Grand Elder like that?" Many people immediately scolded Dong Shi.
However, Dong Shi clenched her teeth and turned to walk out of the hall.
*****
The Eastern Flower Region's Wuan City was very far from the Nanshan City of the Nanshan Region. When Teng Qingshan arrived at the Crescent Moon Lake of the Godly Axe Mountain on the Whole Gale Eagle, it was already pitch black. The doors of the houses were tightly shut, and there was a faint light shining through. It was obvious that they hadn't slept yet.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The cold wind whistled as the Whole Gale Eagle swooped down.
"Screech ~ ~ ~" The Whole Gale Eagle immediately screeched. Immediately, the doors of the two stone houses opened. Li Jun and Little Ping were in one house, while Teng Shou and Old Wang were in the other.
"Big Brother Teng," Li Jun shouted in surprise.
"Teacher," Teng Shou also shouted.
Teng Qingshan held the stone inscription and leaped down from the eagle's back. The Whole Gale Eagle flapped its wings proudly, as if it was taking credit.
"Yes, Little Grey is good." Li Jun patted the Whole Gale Eagle's back and looked at Teng Qingshan. "Big Brother Teng, you haven't eaten dinner yet, right? I'll go heat it up." With this, Li Jun ran into the house, and Little Ping ran over to help.
Teng Qingshan felt warmth in his heart when he returned at night with someone helping to heat up the meal.
… …
After dinner, the impatient Teng Qingshan walked out of the house with the Splitting Mountain Axe in one hand and the stone inscription in the other. He started cultivating overnight.
"The combination of the Splitting Mountain Axe and the stone inscription … According to Emperor Yu, even an ordinary innate expert would be able to step into the Emptiness Realm within a few dozen years. As for me, I have already stepped into the doorstep." Teng Qingshan was slightly excited. With the help of this stone inscription, he would definitely improve greatly.
He might even be able to step into the Emptiness Realm within a year or two.
