Chapter 39: Emperor’s Shocking Ability, a Ruthless Man with Little Talk

Chapter 39: Imperial Extremes World-Shocking Skill, a Ruthless Man of Few Words

“Demon Cultivator Bounty Mission”

“Mission Content: The Zhou Family of Qinghe County is suspected of being involved with the Demonic Path. Investigate the truth and determine if the Zhou Family practices demonic cultivation.”

“Mission Reward: 10,000 Contribution Points.”

After accepting the bounty mission, Jiang Li immediately chose to depart.

On a large spirit boat.

The three of them put their heads together, examining the intelligence gathered by the Law Enforcement Hall.

What Jiang Li cared about was the overall strength of the Zhou Family.

Because the third option of the mission required him to eradicate all of Zhou Yang’s connections, not just simply investigate evidence, this meant he would have to directly confront a Cultivation Family. If their roots were too deep, he would have to consider indirect tactics.

“The Zhou Family’s Old Ancestor broke through to Foundation Establishment Stage five years ago. Even if he practices demonic cultivation, his cultivation won’t exceed the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment. He’s beatable.”

Jiang Li thought to himself.

As long as there wasn’t a combat power above the Golden Core Stage, he was confident.

What Li Xi cared about was the strength of the Piaomiao Dynasty.

“That’s so strange. The Piaomiao Dynasty controls the land of nine prefectures, and the Demon Suppression Division governs all Cultivators under heaven. Every county city has a vanguard general above the Foundation Establishment Stage stationed there. Above the county cities, there are also leading generals at the Golden Core Stage and great generals at the Nascent Soul Stage. Since this Zhou Family practices demonic cultivation, it shouldn’t be possible for there to be no clues at all.”

Murong Qing took over the conversation: “Because the Piaomiao Dynasty’s Old Ancestor failed in his Breakthrough to Soul Transformation and perished. The other two Imperial Dynasties attacked en masse, causing all Cultivators above the Golden Core Stage to be dispatched as reinforcements. The highest combat power in the major county cities is now only at the Foundation Establishment Stage.”

Jiang Li seemed to ponder.

Although he was an undercover agent, he only traveled between the Ten Thousand Demons Sect and Tianxuan Holy Land, so he didn’t know much about the overall situation of the Cultivation World.

From Murong Qing and Li Xi’s conversation, Jiang Li outlined the overall territory of the Piaomiao Dynasty.

The Piaomiao Dynasty controlled the land of nine prefectures, with a total of sixty-four county cities under its command. Qinghe County was one of the twelve county cities under Lizhou.

The highest combat power was Foundation Establishment.

Then it’s not indiscriminate killing… Jiang Li felt much more at ease.

Although he only had a cultivation of Qi Refining Stage Level 8, his Body Refining Cultivation Technique was comparable to a Body Cultivator in the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment. He also cultivated brilliant golden magic power and a Dragon Slaying Sword at the Major Achievement stage.

In terms of overall strength, he was absolutely not inferior to a Cultivator in the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.

Coupled with a bug that allowed infinite stacking of magic power, as long as he was given time, he could handle anyone below the Golden Core Stage.

What Murong Qing cared about was the situation in Qinghe County.

“The Zhou Family practices demonic cultivation and has also mastered the channels for Power Of Will. This indicates that the situation in Qinghe County has spiraled out of control, and the Demon Suppression Division can no longer suppress these Cultivation Families. If we move against the Zhou Family, there will likely be a reaction from Qinghe County.”

As Jiang Li listened, his Body Refining Cultivation Technique popped up again.

“Ding, the Cultivation Technique ‘Imperial Extremes World-Shocking Skill’ angrily curses these rebellious subjects. All that the sun and moon shine upon is My territory, and no one is allowed to encroach upon it. All Power Of Will is also Mine.”

“The Cultivation Technique ‘Imperial Extremes World-Shocking Skill’ wants to smash the Zhou Family and re-gather the incense. Do you want to delegate?”

Jiang Li:…

No.

Why are you so indignant?

This seems to be the territory of the Piaomiao Dynasty, when did it become yours?

You’re also a rebellious subject, you damn thing.

And even more ruthless.

Others only occupy one county, but you want to directly usurp someone else’s empire.

Who is more excessive, really?

Jiang Li couldn’t help but complain.

However, the Cultivation Technique ‘Imperial Extremes World-Shocking Skill’ was not wrong about one thing: smashing the Zhou Family would allow him to collect the Power Of Will of the entire Qinghe County, which could be used to condense Imperial Dynasty Dragon Qi and assist in Body Refining Cultivation Technique practice.

This Zhou Family is a good person.

It simultaneously triggered the switches for the Profound Yellow Heart Refining Art and the Imperial Extremes World-Shocking Skill.

One mission, double the resources.

“No problem. Compared to us, the Demon Suppression Division definitely hopes to see the Zhou Family destroyed even more.”

…

Three days later.

Lizhou—Qinghe County.

Upon landing, the three of them headed straight for the Demon Suppression Division’s yamen.

Before they even got close, they heard cries of injustice.

A disheveled young woman knelt on the ground, holding a child less than three years old in her arms, and beating the drum of injustice at the Demon Suppression Division’s yamen.

“I beg the lords of the Demon Suppression Division to uphold justice for this commoner! The Zhou Family is utterly devoid of conscience, they killed my husband, and now they even want to snatch my child. They are not human!”

The woman’s mournful cries caused quite a stir.

The surrounding commoners stopped to watch.

However…

Upon hearing the name “Zhou Family,” the commoners scattered like startled birds.

Not a single person dared to stay and watch the show.

The bravest among them only dared to hide far away, peeking with half a head.

The Demon Suppression Division’s yamen opened.

A Young Commandant walked out, a saber at his waist, dressed in a fish-dragon uniform. He was only about thirty years old, and his cultivation had already reached the Late Stage of Qi Refining.

The Young Commandant helped the woman up and was about to speak when three figures walked out onto the street.

The Young Master leading them was dressed in splendid embroidered robes, a folding fan held in front of him. His cultivation at Qi Refining Stage Level 6 was also fully displayed. Behind him followed two lackeys, bustling about and shouting, looking very imposing.

“You stinking bitch, you came here to make a fool of yourself! Hurry up and come back with us. If it weren’t for Young Master Zhou’s benevolence, how could you and your little bastard still be alive today?”

One of the shifty-eyed lackeys stepped forward and cursed.

He reached out to pull the child from the woman’s arms.

The woman’s face was contorted in fury, and without thinking, she opened her mouth and bit.

“Bitch!”

The lackey was furious and raised his hand to strike.

The Young Commandant stopped this wicked act and reprimanded: “What are you trying to do? In broad daylight, you dare to lay hands on someone in front of me, a Young Commandant of the Demon Suppression Division?”

The Young Master stepped forward, smiling insincerely: “Young Commandant, these are all private matters of the Zhou Family. That cheap maid is my lackey’s newlywed wife, but she has some mental problems. We’ll take her away now and won’t disturb the Demon Suppression Division’s business.”

“No, don’t! Young Commandant, their Zhou Family eats people! Several families’ children have already gone missing here, they were all taken to the Zhou Family, they’re all dead!”

The young woman shrieked.

She knelt on the ground, clutching the child in her arms tightly.

“Take her away.”

The Young Master lost his patience, a cruel expression on his face.

The two lackeys desperately grabbed the woman, and no matter how much she struggled, it was useless.

The Young Commandant’s eyes turned red: “Zhou Yi, does your Zhou Family truly think that my Demon Suppression Division has no one?”

The Young Master, Zhou Yi, darkened his face: “What is the Young Commandant saying? This is indeed a private matter of my Zhou Family, and even the Demon Suppression Division has no right to interfere. If it weren’t for my Zhou Family, this Qinghe County would have long been in chaos, so don’t meddle in other people’s business. Take her away.”

“No, no!”

The woman screamed desperately.

The two lackeys laughed wildly.

The Young Master stood still, enjoying the scene, his expression perverse.

The Young Commandant’s eyes were splitting with rage, his hand gripped the hilt of his saber, clenching it tightly. The silver-white blade had already slid halfway out of its sheath.

Further away, the commoners were heartbroken, each one lowering their head, unable to bear watching any longer.

Jiang Li watched silently.

His eyes were as still as an ancient well.

In the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, he had seen things far more tragic than this.

He could still accept this level.

However…

The Cultivation Technique couldn’t stand it.

“Ding, the Cultivation Technique ‘Imperial Extremes World-Shocking Skill’ listens to the prayers of the myriad people. The prayers ultimately converge into one main theme—kill all the Zhou Family members. The Emperor’s Heart begins to respond to this call, and the speed of Dragon Qi condensation increases. Do you want to delegate?”

“Delegate,”

Jiang Li thought to himself.

This was not Tianxuan Holy Land, it was the distant Qinghe County. No one here knew him, nor did they know his undercover identity.

In other words.

No matter how big a commotion he caused, it wouldn’t matter.

The next second.

The Cultivation Technique ‘Imperial Extremes World-Shocking Skill’ took over his body.

He walked straight out.

With the stride of a Dragon and the gait of a tiger, imbued with majesty, like an Emperor inspecting his territory.

Zhou Yi noticed Jiang Li’s arrival.

But he didn’t pay much attention.

He had seen many ambitious people.

But under the prestige of the Zhou Family, these ambitious people would all be kneeling at the Zhou Family’s gates, begging for his forgiveness, within half a day.

However…

Jiang Li didn’t say a word.

Without any superfluous movements, he kicked out.

“Die!”

His voice held not a trace of warmth.

The force was utterly unreserved, delivering a furious kick with the strongest possible posture.

Bang!

A loud crash.

Zhou Yi was sent flying.

Smashing through a dozen shops.

His sternum was fractured into countless pieces, his body bleeding, his limbs hanging limply, and his head lolled to one side.

His eyes had lost their previous luster, completely dimming.

Like a dead dog, he lay on the street of Qinghe County.
