He Yushi and Li Ji, who were standing nearby, saw that Chen Luo was already dead, which meant their mission was complete.
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief. They never would have imagined that one day, the two prodigies of the Heavenly Sword Sect would actually help someone commit murder.
However, the two of them owed Jiang Chen a favor, and Jiang Chen had used that favor to ask for their help.
It was no difficult task for them, so they had agreed immediately.
As for the spoils of war, they had already agreed beforehand that everything would go to Jiang Chen. The two of them would get nothing. After all, they were merely repaying a favor, so they did not fuss over it.
"Young Master Jiang, we've completed the task. We have urgent matters to attend to, so we'll take our leave first," He Yushi said to Jiang Chen.
"Thank you both for your help this time. If you hadn't assisted me, I'm afraid quite a few would have slipped through the net." Jiang Chen cupped his fists toward them in gratitude.
"Even without our help, I believe Young Master Jiang could have handled it," He Yushi said with a smile.
He Yushi was already exceptionally beautiful, and she looked even more stunning when she smiled.
Jiang Chen found himself staring blankly for a moment.
When He Yushi saw Jiang Chen suddenly gazing at her like that, her face flushed slightly. This Jiang Chen was rather bold, actually daring to stare at her.
As for Li Ji, who stood beside them, he had no such thoughts.
That was because Li Ji had a fiancée, whose looks were not much inferior to He Yushi's.
Besides, He Yushi had never taken a liking to him, so there was no need for him to become entangled with her emotionally.
He Yushi's background was somewhat higher than Li Ji's, and Li Ji had no intention of making a fool of himself.
"Uh, all right. Go on with your business," Jiang Chen said.
"All right, Young Master Jiang. If you have time, come visit us at the Heavenly Sword Sect. If you want to join the Heavenly Sword Sect, we can recommend you," He Yushi said.
She was extremely astonished by Jiang Chen's talent. He was entirely qualified to join the Heavenly Sword Sect.
However, when he first entered, he would certainly have to start as an Outer Sect Disciple.
Only after displaying his strength could he gradually rise in status within the sect.
Even a single Outer Sect Disciple position was something countless prodigies yearned to obtain.
There were also a great many servant disciples in the Heavenly Sword Sect who were not even Outer Sect Disciples.
"If I want to join the Heavenly Sword Sect in the future, I'll definitely ask for your help. When the time comes, I hope you won't refuse," Jiang Chen said with a smile.
"That won't be a problem. All right, goodbye." He Yushi did not want to waste any more time, so she quickly left with Li Ji.
Watching the two of them depart, Jiang Chen began circulating his cultivation technique. A powerful devouring force spread from within his body.
The blood qi within the corpses of those who had just died nearby was rapidly drawn out, and Jiang Chen absorbed it all.
With the blood qi of so many experts, Jiang Chen's aura surged. Pfft.
A sound like a barrier being broken through rang out.
Jiang Chen's aura erupted violently. Martial Master Realm, Third Level.
Jiang Chen had now officially reached the Martial Master Realm, Third Level.
"Martial Master Realm, Third Level. This level of strength still isn't enough. Bloodfire Mercenary Group, if you dare lay a hand on the Jiang Family, I'll destroy you first." Killing intent flashed through Jiang Chen's eyes.
From Chen Luo's words, he had learned that the Bloodfire Mercenary Group had already investigated his information.
Given the Bloodfire Mercenary Group's nature, they would definitely seek revenge.
However, the strength of Qingyue Town's three great families was not weak either. Jiang Chen believed the Bloodfire Mercenary Group would not directly attack the Jiang Family, but would first issue a series of threats.
They would make the Jiang Family hand over Jiang Chen, then demand even greater benefits.
This was a method the Bloodfire Mercenary Group often used.
If the Jiang Family stood firm and thoroughly offended the Bloodfire Mercenary Group, only then would the Bloodfire Mercenary Group send experts to deal with them.
After all, since they could obtain greater benefits with the least possible losses, the Bloodfire Mercenary Group would not easily go to war.
Dealing with a great family from a town would also cost them quite a bit. It was not so easy to handle.
There would definitely be losses, and the Bloodfire Mercenary Group was worried about losses too.
Next, Jiang Chen sorted through the spoils of the Yinluo Sect disciples and the Bloodfire Mercenary Group members. He made a huge profit, earning more than five hundred thousand spirit stones alone. These Yinluo Sect disciples were truly wealthy. As expected of disciples from a Great Sect.
Now, it all belonged to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen paid no attention to the corpses. With so many demonic beasts in the Great Desolate Mountain Range, he believed it would not be long before carnivorous beasts devoured them.
The flesh and blood of Human Race experts was also a great tonic for these demonic beasts.
"Next, I'll head to Snake King Valley to raise my cultivation, then return to Qingyue Town," Jiang Chen thought.
There were quite a few snake demonic beasts in Snake King Valley. It could be said that demonic beasts were piled together there.
With Jiang Chen's current strength, he had the confidence to deal with the Fourth-tier Snake King.
If he could wash Snake King Valley in blood, Jiang Chen's strength would soar. When the Bloodfire Mercenary Group came seeking revenge, he would be able to face them.
This decision of Jiang Chen's would bring a bloody disaster upon Snake King Valley.
Jiang Chen's figure flashed rapidly as he hurried toward Snake King Valley.
Jiang Chen had not gone far when some carnivorous demonic beasts discovered the corpses of Chen Luo and the others, then began devouring them.
More and more demonic beasts came. An hour later, apart from some scraps of cloth and bloodstains, there were no corpses left there.
Three hours later, Jiang Chen arrived near Snake King Valley.
However, the sky had already darkened, and it was not the time to make a move.
Jiang Chen found a cave, sealed the entrance, and stayed inside for the night, planning to attack during the day.
Night was when some powerful demonic beasts hunted, so the danger increased greatly. Darkness also affected one's vision to a certain extent. What if there were venomous snakes hiding in the grass?
They would be impossible to guard against.
Early the next morning, Jiang Chen got up, broke through the sealed cave entrance, and set off.
If he did not seal the entrance, he was worried that some demonic beasts might sneak inside. That would be an extremely dangerous situation.
Jiang Chen arrived at the entrance to Snake King Valley. Some time ago, he had still been deeply wary of Snake King Valley.
At that time, his strength had been lacking.
But he was different now. His strength had grown powerful, and today he had come to slaughter the Snake King.
Just how immense the blood qi of a fourth-tier demonic beast was, Jiang Chen truly wanted to know.
He had never killed a fourth-tier demonic beast before, but the Snake King would become the first fourth-tier demonic beast to die by his hand.
The moment Jiang Chen entered, he saw quite a few snake demonic beasts. What was there to hesitate about?
Jiang Chen wielded the Silver Moon Blade, and blade light burst in all directions. Wherever he passed, none of the snake demonic beasts could escape his merciless blade.
Snake corpses covered the ground. As Jiang Chen killed, he absorbed the blood qi from the snake corpses, and his cultivation steadily rose.
Jiang Chen's actions caused the other snake demonic beasts to catch the scent of blood, and they rushed over one after another.
At that moment, large numbers of second- and third-tier demonic snakes appeared.
"Good, come at me. Die!" Seeing so many snake demonic beasts charging toward him, Jiang Chen was delighted instead of frightened.
"Hegemonic Blade Art!" Powerful blade qi instantly slashed into the snake swarm before him.
"Pfft, pfft..." The blade qi swept past, cutting several snakes in two.
With Jiang Chen's current strength, dealing with these snake demonic beasts was more than easy.
