Gold Belts from Murder and Arson, Arrival at the Imperial City

That's why, when Wang Chen was wreaking havoc in the Wang Clan, not a single person from any other force came to investigate.

The pair of Battle Qi Wings on Wang Chen's back were enough to frighten other forces.

With four Dou Zun- level Heavenly Demon Puppet, even if these puppets can only fight using their bodies and the special talent of the Flame Spirit and cannot use normal Dou Zun abilities, dealing with a mere Dou Ling family should not be a big problem.

In less than three minutes, the entire Wang Clan was wiped out.

Looking at the corpses scattered all over the ground, Wang Chen did not show much emotion.

In this dog-eat-dog world, fighting and death have always been present.

To control one's own destiny, only overwhelming power is possible.

When the Xiao Clan was driven out of the capital, they suffered heavy losses as well.

Otherwise, how could a once prestigious Dou Wang family in the Jia Ma Imperial City have become a Da Dou Shi family hiding in Wutan City, as depicted in the original story?

The difference between them is enormous.

It was because the Old Patriarch of the Xiao Clan died that the Xiao Clan no longer had a true master to oversee things.

The greedy hyenas swarmed in, causing heavy losses to the Xiao Clan's power and forcing them to return to Wutan City, the place where they first made their fortune.

The Wang Clan's downfall was simply because they provoked someone they shouldn't have.

At the same time, their own strength is not strong enough.

After the battle, Wang Chen wasted no time and headed straight for the Wang Clan's Treasure Vault.

Wang Chen also learned the location of the Treasure Vault from Young Master Wang's memory.

After all, as the Wang Clan's greatest genius, he naturally had the right to take some treasures from the Treasure Vault.

However, these things now belong entirely to Wang Chen.

Upon arriving at the Wang Clan's Treasure Vault, Wang Chen did not hesitate and immediately ordered the Heavenly Demon Puppet to smash down the Treasure Vault's door.

The defensive measures of a Dou Ling family's Treasure Vault are naturally no match for those of the Jia Nan Academy.

It didn't take much effort at all for Wang Chen to open the Wang Clan's Treasure Vault.

Without hesitation, Wang Chen immediately began packing the items.

Whether it was Cultivation Methods and Combat Skills, combat skills, or various medicinal herbs and treasures, Wang Chen put them all into his Storage Ring.

Fortunately, his Storage Ring were enhanced by Golden Finger, and he had quite a few of them; otherwise, he might not have been able to take everything from the Wang Clan's Treasure Vault.

Thanks to Wang Chen's diligent efforts, the treasures in the Wang Clan's Treasure Vault were quickly all taken away by Wang Chen.

Among them were some Exotic Metal that Wang Chen needed most.

It must be said that murder and arson bring wealth and honor, while those who build bridges and repair roads leave no trace of their victims.

This is not just idle talk.

Wang Chen obtained nearly an entire Storage Ring of treasures simply by destroying the Wang Clan.

Although many of the items weren't of particularly high quality, they were still quite good for Wang Chen.

With the help of a Golden Finger, this can become a considerable fortune.

After taking all the treasures from the Wang Clan's Treasure Vault, Wang Chen didn't forget to loot the corpse.

Of course, Wang Chen couldn't touch everyone; he only touched the corpses of the experts from the Wang Clan.

After looting the corpse, Wang Chen once again gained a considerable amount of profit.

Leaving aside those Storage Rings, there are still quite a few treasures stored in them.

After everything was settled, Wang Chen didn't stay at the Wang Clan any longer and headed straight for the Grand Hotel to find Queen Medusa.

As for the Wang Clan's mess, Wang Chen doesn't need to worry about it at all.

After Wang Chen leaves, those greedy people who want to gain benefits will naturally devour the Wang Clan like hyenas.

As Wang Chen had predicted, shortly after Wang Chen left, some people couldn't resist sneaking into the Wang Clan's Headquarters.

The news of what happened at the Wang Clan's Headquarters spread like wildfire throughout the entire Rock Desert City.

As this news spread, all the major powers in Rock Desert City began to live in fear.

After all, if Wang Chen could easily wipe out the Wang Clan, he could certainly easily wipe out other forces as well.

Now that they don't know why Wang Chen wants to wipe out the Wang Clan, these forces are naturally terrified.

If Wang Chen expands the scope of the extermination, then they will also be wiped out.

As a result, all the forces in Rock Desert City began to reduce their manpower.

Those so-called spoiled brats were all ordered to stay in the family compound.

You are not allowed to go out during this period, lest you provoke the villain who destroyed the Wang Clan.

Wang Chen had no idea about these changes in Rock Desert City.

Even if they see it, they won't say much.

In any case, the downfall of the Wang Clan was merely triggered by Neighbor Wang.

Under normal circumstances, Wang Chen would not act rashly.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have used the plan of luring the enemy out of their hole back in the Black-Corner Region.

Wang Chen did this on purpose because he was worried about provoking the Soul Hall prematurely.

However, this also shows that Wang Chen would not act against any particular force without a conflict of interest or hatred.

Although it's a bit self-deceptive, it also shows that Wang Chen still has certain bottom lines.

Upon returning to the Rock Desert Grand Hotel, Queen Medusa did not cultivate but instead waited for Wang Chen.

"You're back?"

Seeing that Wang Chen had returned without any problems, Queen Medusa breathed a sigh of relief and then asked a question in a seemingly indifferent manner.

It has to be said that women in love are often brainless.

Of course, one could also say that concern leads to confusion.

Queen Medusa was roughly aware of just how powerful Wang Chen was.

It's impossible for them to overturn their vehicle in a mere Rock Desert City.

However, seeing Queen Medusa's concerned expression, Wang Chen explained in a gentle tone.

The two then exchanged pleasantries and stopped worrying about what Wang Chen had been doing earlier.

After exchanging a few words, they also began to rest.

The next day, the sun was high in the sky.

Wang Chen, who usually gets up early, woke up a little later today.

After all, what he did yesterday had slightly displeased Queen Medusa, so Wang Chen naturally wanted to comfort Queen Medusa.

That's why Wang Chen sleeps in late.

After having a simple "breakfast" at the hotel, Wang Chen arranged for the Heavenly Demon Puppet to drive its travel vehicle, carrying Queen Medusa on their way to the Jia Ma Imperial City.

As for the unrest in Rock Desert City, that had absolutely nothing to do with Wang Chen.

Anyway, when they travel and travel, they just enjoy the scenery along the way.

Having explored most of Rock Desert City yesterday, Wang Chen Queen Medusa naturally saw no need to linger any longer.

That is why he left "early".

They still needed to rush to the Jia Ma Imperial City, since the Mittel Family was still collecting the Exotic Metal that Wang Chen wanted.

With the orders of the Supreme Elder, Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, the Mittel Family will undoubtedly work diligently to collect Exotic Metal.

Not to mention that when Wang Chen parted ways with Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, he specifically instructed him that as long as enough Exotic Metal were collected, he would not mind exchanging them for pills.

Wang Chen showed the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong the Emperor-Breaking Pill and the Dou Ling Pill.

This was of no use to Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, but it was an absolute treasure that the elders of the Mittel Family had always dreamed of.

With the orders of the Supreme Elder Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, and the allure of the Emperor-Breaking Pill and the Dou Ling Pill, Wang Chen didn't believe the Mittel Family wouldn't put in their best effort.

Of course, no matter how hard you try, it will take time to collect enough Exotic Metal.

This is also why Wang Chen traveled slowly.

This would give the Mittel Family time to collect Exotic Metal, and also allow them to spend time with Queen Medusa, relaxing and deepening their relationship.

After his experience in Rock Desert City, Wang Chen was even more eager to explore other cities.

Firstly, it would allow me to accompany Queen Medusa and let her enjoy herself in the human city.

Secondly, he wanted to see if any fools dared to provoke him again.

Then perhaps there will be some unexpected gains.

After all, Wang Chen has his own bottom line and would never casually take action against other forces.

But if they provoke you, that's a different story.

Although it was a bit unnecessary, it was also a demonstration of Wang Chen's adherence to his bottom line.

People cannot be without principles, otherwise they will only be controlled by power.

Wang Chen wanted to be someone who wielded power, not someone who was wielded by power.

Of course, if no one bothers him in other cities, then he can just treat it as a simple trip.

Since there wouldn't be any loss, Wang Chen naturally didn't care too much.

After Wang Chen left Rock Desert City, some conflicts broke out in the city.

After all, the piece of fat meat that the Wang Clan had vacated was just too tempting.

However, with the combined efforts of the major powers, the unrest was suppressed after a short period of time.

The fattest piece of meat was devoured by the major powers, while the smaller powers only managed to get a couple of sips of soup.

With the turmoil quelled, the entire Rock Desert City returned to its former state, as if the Wang Clan had never existed at all.

Of course, Wang Chen was unaware of all this. At this moment, he was already leading Queen Medusa slowly towards the Jia Ma Imperial City.

Perhaps what Wang Chen did in Rock Desert City was simply too terrifying.

In the cities he passed through afterward, Wang Chen didn't encounter anyone who wanted to provoke him.

The journey was smooth sailing, and Wang Chen did not take action against other forces.

This did manage to speed up Wang Chen and his group's journey a little.

Since no one was causing trouble and there wasn't much to see in some of the cities, Wang Chen and his group naturally didn't choose to stay overnight.

Of course, even with a slightly faster pace, it still took Wang Chen and his group nearly three months to reach the Jia Ma Imperial City.

This is normal, since Wang Chen and his group chose to travel by ground rather than by flying.

The reason they were able to reach the Jia Ma Imperial City within this timeframe was because the carriage was pulled by Second-Order Magical Beast.

If it were an ordinary horse, it might take another two months or more to reach the Jia Ma Imperial City.

Jia Ma Imperial City, around noon.

"We've finally arrived!"

Wang Chen poked his head out of the carriage and looked at the city ahead.

This Jia Ma Imperial City truly lives up to its reputation as the most important city in the Jia Ma Empire; it is indeed incredibly majestic.

Its vast area means that this world is a place where cultivation is possible. If it were Wang Chen's previous life, it would have been virtually impossible to build such a terrifying metropolis.

After taking a quick look, Wang Chen urged the Heavenly Demon Puppet to continue forward and enter the Jia Ma Imperial City.

He also wants Exotic Metal!

So many days have passed; the Mittel Family should have collected some by now.

Upon receiving Wang Chen's order, the Heavenly Demon Puppet did not hesitate and quickly drove the carriage towards the Jia Ma Imperial City.

In other ordinary cities, it might be quite rare to see a Second-Order Magical Beast pulling a cart.

However, in the Jia Ma Imperial City, even Second-Order Magical Beast pulling a cart is just so-so.

While not exactly ordinary, it wasn't particularly eye-catching either.

Following the established order, Wang Chen's carriage quickly entered the Jia Ma Imperial City.

The city is vast, and its entrance is also quite large.

Even with a large transient population, there was no congestion at the city gate.

Of course, the most important thing is that there is no entrance fee to this Jia Ma Imperial City.

Otherwise, the flow rate couldn't be this fast.

As expected of the capital city where the Jia Ma Imperial Clan resides, there's no entrance fee; they're truly wealthy and powerful.

Upon entering the capital, Wang Chen immediately ordered the Heavenly Demon Puppet to head towards the headquarters of the Mittel Family.

They made a promise when they parted ways in the Tagor Desert and at the Ice Emperor Hai Bodong.

Now that Wang Chen has arrived in the Jia Ma Imperial City, it wouldn't be good not to go find him.

Wang Chen still values people like Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, who can be his friend.

After all, having more friends means having more options.

Those friends may not be of much use in normal times, but everyone has their own expertise, and sometimes you need help from others.

For example, collecting Exotic Metal.

Among the friends Wang Chen has made, the Mittel Family, which is behind Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, is the most suitable to collect.

After all, they're in the auction business.

It's a job that matches your major.

The other forces can only be described as amateurs.

While the Snake People Tribe also focuses on collecting items for Wang Chen, their efficiency is certainly not as good as that of a professional force like the Mittel Family.

Wang Chen had already planned to befriend Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, and now that he needed the Mittel Family's help to collect Exotic Metal, he naturally chose to follow their initial agreement and go find Ice Emperor Hai Bodong.

This will also provide a final confirmation as to whether Ice Emperor Hai Bodong can become a close friend as depicted in the original story.

"What can I do for you?"

At the entrance of the Mittel Family, seeing Wang Chen's carriage stop, the gatekeeper asked a question.

His tone was very gentle, without any sense of arrogance.

It must be said that the Mittel Family, being in the auction business, truly has a certain level of skill in dealing with people.

Even though Wang Chen didn't show anything particularly special, no one spoke ill of him.

"I've come to find Ice Emperor Hai Bodong."

You can simply hand over this token.

If the other party uses foul language, Wang Chen certainly wouldn't mind showing off and slapping them in the face.

However, since the other party was being so polite, Wang Chen naturally wouldn't act presumptuously.

He immediately poked his head out of the carriage and spoke.

He also tossed over the token that Ice Emperor Hai Bodong had given him when they parted ways.

After receiving the token, the gatekeeper glanced at it briefly.

I didn't notice anything particularly special.

After all, he was just a gatekeeper. Only a few high-ranking members of the Mittel Family knew about the Supreme Elder, Ice Emperor Hai Bodong.

Who told Ice Emperor Hai Bodong to be sealed away by Queen Medusa and hide in the Tagor Desert for so many years?

It's normal that these ordinary gatekeepers wouldn't know the specifics.

Of course, even if he couldn't recognize anything special about the token in his hand, the gatekeeper was still very polite.

"Please wait a moment, I'll go and inform them right away."

The gatekeeper then walked directly into the Mittel Family compound, intending to inform the family's higher-ups.

Of course, after this gatekeeper reported the incident, another gatekeeper immediately took his place.

There will never be a situation where guests come to visit but there is no doorman to greet them.

It must be said that there is a reason why the Mittel Family was able to open auction houses throughout the entire Jia Ma Empire.

Wang Chen returned to the carriage, not in a hurry, but simply waited quietly.

Wang Chen didn't have to wait long before three people rushed out from the Mittel Family compound.

"Brother Wang, you've finally arrived."

At the very front was Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, with whom Wang Chen had parted ways in the Tagor Desert.

At this time, Ice Emperor Hai Bodong's strength had already broken through to the 7-Star Dou Huang.

It's obvious at a glance that the Imperial Extreme Pill has been completely refined.

"Ice Emperor, it's been a long time."

With Ice Emperor Hai Bodong being so hospitable, Wang Chen naturally couldn't stay in the carriage any longer.

He quickly jumped out of the carriage and called out to Ice Emperor Hai Bodong.

"Go inside and talk quickly."

Ice Emperor Hai Bodong warmly prepared to welcome Wang Chen to the Mittel Family.

"That one is here too."

Ice Emperor Hai Bodong, who had come to Wang Chen's side, also spoke softly.

"Good."

Wang Chen nodded as well.

This travel tool has been enhanced twice by Wang Chen.

Given Ice Emperor Hai Bodong's strength, it was naturally impossible for him to sense Queen Medusa inside the carriage.

Of course, Ice Emperor Hai Bodong did not use his sensory abilities to investigate the carriage.

That would be extremely impolite.

"Please come in as well."

Upon confirming that Queen Medusa was also present, Ice Emperor Hai Bodong spoke with a touch of embarrassment.

He truly didn't know how to deal with Queen Medusa.

After all, she sealed herself away, causing the mighty Ice Emperor Hai Bodong to remain holed up in a small city in the Tagor Desert.

But in the end, it was Queen Medusa herself who helped break the seal, allowing her to fully recover.

And because of this incident, he got to know Wang Chen, an Advanced Alchemist.

Just one pill was enough to break through two star levels in his strength.

As a senior who had lived for so many years, he could naturally see the relationship between Wang Chen Queen Medusa.

Naturally, he could only offer a slightly awkward greeting.

However, having lived for so many years, he is more realistic.

Although there was a slight awkwardness, they still showed their enthusiasm.
