My power increases 100 Jin a Day

Tang Yuan repeatedly said.

"Is that so?"

Jiang Shi’s body stopped once more. A gigantic shadow was cast, carrying a unique aura, as if he was one with the heavens and earth. An invisible pressure blanketed the entire alley.

In an instant, everyone present had a change of expression, feeling a hallucination as if their bodies were enveloped by a thick mountain, making it difficult to move, and their skin tingling with pain.

"Elder Jiang, it’s true. This is absolutely a misunderstanding. I have not lied..."

Tang Yuan’s face turned pale, swallowing hard.

Bam!

Suddenly, without any warning, Jiang Shi struck out with a palm, hitting the chest area of an elderly man in a black robe, making it shine through from front to back on the spot. Inside, the internal organs and bones shattered completely, causing the man to spew blood wildly. His eyes widened, his body instantly went limp, and he died a gruesome death.

"Elder Wu!"

The others all had a change of expression, speaking in terror.

Bam!

Jiang Shi struck again, hitting a middle-aged man in the same way and perforating his entire body on the spot, his flesh exploding, dying miserably.

"Mr. Liao!"

The remaining people cried out in astonishment, their eyes turning red.

"Fight him!"

"Kill!"

The few remaining roared angrily, all rushing swiftly towards Jiang Shi.

Tang Yuan’s face changed dramatically, hurriedly shouting in alarm, "Stop, this is a misunderstanding!"

Bam bam bam bam!

Dull thuds sounded, blood splattering.

Like swatting mosquitoes.

Figures flew in all directions, their bones and muscles shattered, life force dissipating, collapsing dead in the alley.

Tang Yuan’s face turned ghastly pale, large sweat beads seeping out densely from her body, covering everywhere.

"Elder, what... what are you going to do?"

She spoke in terror, her mouth dry.

"Simple, take me to your stronghold. I need to find a few things."

Jiang Shi smiled.

"Stronghold?"

Tang Yuan’s voice trembled.

"Yes."

"No, no way, absolutely not."

Tang Yuan’s voice was filled with fear.

"Actually, I’m not negotiating with you, didn’t you realize?"

Jiang Shi’s voice fell, and his enormous figure appeared before Tang Yuan, towering over her, casting a dark shadow, enveloping her entire being.

Tang Yuan shivered involuntarily, horrified, raising her head and instantly meeting Jiang Shi’s gaze.

What kind of gaze was that?

Pitch-black, deep, incredibly terrifying...

Like a bottomless whirlpool, devouring, making one sink for eternity.

How could such a terrifying gaze exist in this world?

Talent: Soul Devouring!

Buzz!

In her panic and horror, Tang Yuan’s mind roared, a vast expanse of emptiness appearing instantly, her entire being dazed, her face vacant, as if transforming into a puppet.

"Take me to your stronghold."

Jiang Shi yawned, speaking calmly.

"Yes."

Tang Yuan replied in a stupor, turning around and walking into the distance.

Jiang Shi merely smiled, as black mist gushed out from his pores, densely enveloping his body. After a moment, the black mist dispersed, and Jiang Shi’s figure and appearance had already transformed into that of the black-robed elder just now.

Talent: Disguise!!

He stepped forward, nonchalantly following behind Tang Yuan.

One ahead, one behind, they moved swiftly towards the distance. In no time, they entered an inconspicuous landlord’s courtyard.

Within the courtyard, there stood a whole different world, with several concealed doors.

Under Tang Yuan’s guidance, these doors opened one by one, revealing numerous figures inside. Upon seeing Tang Yuan and Jiang Shi, their expressions froze momentarily, quickly approaching to pay respects.

"Greetings, Tang Envoy! Greetings, Elder Wu!"

"Go, do not disturb us. There is something I left here earlier that I need to retrieve."

Tang Yuan’s face showed no hint of abnormality as she addressed the people in front of her.

"Yes, Envoy!"

The persons before them cupped their hands.

Tang Yuan paid no further attention to them, leading Jiang Shi straight into the deepest courtyard, finally stopping before a grand door of white jade. Taking out a key, she unlocked the chains and gently pushed it open, leading Jiang Shi inside.

"So this is where your stronghold’s treasury is located?"

Jiang Shi entered and glanced around.

Only to see the area before him brimming with a dazzling array of countless items.

Herbs, Elixir Pills, Weapons, Secret Manuals... everything one could desire.

The entire treasury was packed, shimmering with a faint, dazzling glow.

Jiang Shi smiled, first searching around roughly, soon focusing on some rare herbs deep within, stepping forward and gently grasping several stalks of faintly golden-colored herbs.

"Blood God Pill’s raw materials, indeed, the Loyalty and Righteousness Tower... they truly have them!"

He murmured to himself.

Originally, he only planned to try, not expecting that this attempt would indeed succeed.

However, the raw materials here were not plentiful.

All in all, only enough to refine a single Blood God Pill.

The other materials were either too much or too little, making it difficult to gather a second set.

Even so, it was not futile for Jiang Shi to come here.

With a wave of his hand, he took away all the herbs here without exception, not even glancing at weapons, gold, or silver items.

To him, these things were no different from dung.

"Are there any other strongholds nearby?"

Jiang Shi asked.

"No, only one per city, and there’s another one in the neighboring Yiling Small City."
