Chapter 1577: Chapter 44: Arrangements and Schemes
Such as Vajra Immortal Body, on the panel’s classification, is considered a masterpiece of this grade.
However, according to his understanding, and Lin Qingyi’s description in the past.
The Vajra Immortal Body is the Sect Martial Arts of Vajra Temple.
And Vajra Temple is already among the top sect powers in the world.
Within the temple are more than one superior cultivation technique.
The Vajra Immortal Body being termed as Sect Martial Arts is certainly not ordinary, not simple.
The Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill, with his recent personal experience, he could sense the extraordinariness of this martial art.
Though not as supreme as Vajra Immortal Body, it is still no ordinary masterpiece.
A great success mastery-level martial art like this is enough to let a Martial Artist explode with power surpassing themselves.
Moreover, Chen Canghai is a first-grade Martial Artist who once fell from the Unity Realm.
Divine power remains, he can almost fully exert the might of Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill.
Even if his physical state faced problems and age has caused his qi-blood to decline, he can still be regarded as a common first-grade Martial Artist.
With this strong figure present, today’s Guangning Prefecture can practically sweep across the rest.
No need for incidents like this one at Chaosheng Pavilion to force him to take action personally.
Thus, he has more time to enhance his personal strength to cope with future crises and changes.
A moment later.
Several people arrived inside the room.
In front were a total of nine iron chests.
Chen Wang proactively stepped forward, opening all the iron chests one by one.
Inside five large chests were ores, treasures, pills, and items of yellow gold and silver.
"Marquis, these were organized by me last night."
Looking at the opened iron chests in front of him, Jiang Ning nodded in satisfaction.
Then, he waved his hand across.
A flash of gold, each iron chest was taken by him, leaving only two chests filled with silver.
"Leave the remaining two chests of silver here as a reward." Jiang Ning said.
"Yes, Marquis!" Chen Wang nodded, with a respectful attitude: "I will hand these two chests of silver to Mr. Liu Teng."
"Give them to Jing Wuming." Jiang Ning stated.
"Yes, Marquis!" Chen Wang replied.
Subsequently, the three walked out of the room heading down the mountain.
...
At the foot of the mountain.
The ground trembled from afar.
Several people saw the dust rising sharply, witnessing the crowd surging in.
Even though Liu Teng only brought eight hundred elite troops from the prefecture, when gathered, it still was imposingly extraordinary, the crowd rolled forth.
"Greetings, Marquis!" Liu Teng saw Jiang Ning, accelerated his pace to swiftly come forward, saluting Jiang Ning.
At this moment, his heart was sincerely convinced.
The strength of Chaosheng Pavilion, he had seen with his own eyes, a first-grade powerhouse holding the fort, outmatching Cross Immortal Gate.
Within a day, Chaosheng Pavilion bowed, and the sect members retreated.
Compared to what was witnessed firsthand, rumors fall short of depicting Jiang Ning’s might.
"Greetings, Marquis!" Jing Wuming also saluted Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning nodded.
"Governor Liu, the future of Chaosheng Pavilion is under your charge!"
Liu Teng clasped his hands and fists toward Jiang Ning: "Marquis please rest assured, Brother Jing just informed me of the Marquis’s intention, and I assure no mistakes will be made."
"Then I’ll trouble Governor Liu!" Jiang Ning said.
"No trouble at all!" Liu Teng replied.
After a moment’s thought.
Jiang Ning raised his hand, a flash of gold appeared.
In front of him suddenly emerged an iron chest.
This was one box of silver he had just taken.
Soon, he waved, an intangible force manifested, opening the iron chest.
In the sunlight, the silver ingots reflected the sunlight, appearing especially gleaming.
"Marquis, this is..." Liu Teng looked at the opened box of silver, eyes filled with doubt.
Jiang Ning said: "This box of silver is allocated to the officers accompanying this mission. Though Chaosheng Pavilion has been quelled, further unity is required from all of you."
In the sunlight, the snowy glare of the silver ingots reflected Liu Teng’s face.
He hastily clasped his fists, his voice excited and slightly trembling: "This humble servant, on behalf of the brothers, thanks Marquis for the generous reward! Marquis, rest assured, we will pledge our lives in service to pacify Guangning!"
Jiang Ning nodded slightly.
Then he looked to Chen Canghai: "The subsequent inspection at Chaosheng Pavilion will be presided over by you, and subsequent actions will require your assistance to Jing Wuming. Should any changes occur, you may decide independently, no need to report everything to me."
Chen Canghai bent in response: "Your subordinate accepts the order."
Though he once roamed as the notorious Black Flood Dragon King, Chen Canghai now showed no trace of past arrogance.
Yesterday’s battle, Jiang Ning’s overwhelming power made him realize that Jiang Ning, despite his youth and curse, possessed strength surpassing his own.
That mystical ability of decline and prosperity left him filled with fear.
It was a method he couldn’t comprehend to this day.
The deep greatness within, even with personal experience, remained beyond his understanding.
At the same time, seeing with his own eyes how Jiang Ning, within a single day, perfected the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Skill he was so proud of, achieving Great Success, and using the insight demonstrated in yesterday’s move, made him thoroughly convinced.
Such formidable talent and comprehension surpassed his understanding.
"Jing Wuming." Jiang Ning called again.
"Marquis." Jing Wuming, dressed in black, stepped forward respectfully.
"You lead the Cross Immortal Gate’s surrendered troops and three hundred prefectural soldiers, advance west immediately, and eliminate the ’Red Sand Gang’ and ’Iron Bone Sect’. If you encounter resistance, kill without mercy; if they are willing to surrender, gather them, hand them over to Mr. Liu, thoroughly investigate past crimes, apply special methods if necessary, wrongful killings are permissible, but wrongful releases are not."
"Understood!" Jing Wuming cupped his hands, his expression calm.
Even though he realized how much turmoil and slaughter Jiang Ning’s words would cause, his heart remained unperturbed.
In the past, when he first entered this world, he rose from obscurity to be known as the Drunken Yama.
His hands long ago lost count of how much blood they had been stained with, how many lives.
He was no longer a benevolent person.
Human lives stirred no waves in his heart.
If not so, how would he be bestowed with the title of Yama by the world?
"Mr. Liu." Jiang Ning looked towards Liu Teng.
"Here I am!" Liu Teng clasped his fists, respectful in demeanor.
"From now on, I still need you to cooperate extensively!" Jiang Ning said.
"Rest assured, Marquis, I will do everything to cooperate!" Liu Teng replied resolutely.
"Then, this chest of silver, Mr. Liu, you may reward and manage as you see fit, and I’ve left two more chests of silver at Chaosheng Pavilion, which you may also handle at your discretion." Jiang Ning stated.
Upon hearing this, Liu Teng’s face was filled with excitement, his voice rising.
"Thank you, Marquis!"
Jiang Ning nodded.
Once the arrangements were complete, he said no more and walked into the distance.
As for Chen Canghai and Jing Wuming, they did not follow, as both had their own matters to attend to.
As he moved further away, cheers of "Thank you, Marquis" suddenly erupted behind him.
The cheers grew louder, eventually merging into one, forming a mighty chorus of gratitude akin to a tidal wave.
Hearing the cheers from afar, Jiang Ning smiled faintly.
He closed the panel before him, then moved.
In an instant.
He soared like a streak of light.
Neither trees nor rocks could impede his steps in the slightest.
...
In less than a cup of tea’s time.
Guangning Prefecture appeared before him.
The next moment.
The tall and thick city walls loomed before him, magnifying in his pupils, as the distance between him and the walls grew closer.
In just a moment.
He collided heavily with the city wall.
Yet it was soundless and seamless, as if he merged directly into the wall.
There was no collision with the wall whatsoever.
A moment later, he appeared in front of his mansion.
The mansion gates were tightly shut.
Through the high walls, faintly came the long cries of cranes.
Hearing the familiar sound, he slowly revealed a smile.
Just as he was about to step forward and knock on the door.
He suddenly stopped, turning to look behind him.
"Looks like they have arrived, and just in time!"
Jiang Ning nodded, looking toward the distant end of the street.
The next moment.
Three familiar figures appeared in his sight.
The visitors were three people from far away Dongling City.
Xie Xiaojiu, Feng Jiuge, Zhou Xing.
Xie Xiaojiu wore a black tight outfit, his eyes and brows like swords.
Feng Jiuge was dressed in red, like flames, like a phoenix.
Zhou Xing wore a robe of dark blue.
Seeing Jiang Ning’s appearance, the three flew forward.
In just a few breaths, the three stood before the Marquis.
"Greetings, Marquis!"
"Greetings, Marquis!"
"Greetings, Marquis!"
The three bowed to Jiang Ning, with Zhou Xing being somewhat excited.
He knew, Jiang Ning had summoned the three of them from Dongling City because they were needed.
To be needed meant he still held value for Jiang Ning.
Possessing value was what excited him the most.
