Chapter 68: Sharpening the Sword

East Spirit Prefecture, city wall.

Chen Chen stood on it, among the solemn patrolling soldiers, his clothes slightly wet. He didn't know how long he had been standing.

Night was fading, he didn't move.

Day was bright, he still didn't move.

Until noon, the sun was scorching, and he opened his eyes, a flash of killing intent.

"Zhou Kui and the others, they should be dead."

Two internal qi realm martial artists, even if they were internal qi realm martial artists forcibly promoted by Black Blood Pills, it was absolutely impossible for them to get lost and be injured by wild beasts: "This is a good thing, a great thing, Old Chou, you guessed right."

On the side, the black-robed old man also stood for a long time, obviously extremely concerned about this matter, his voice hoarse: "This old man has studied his past. Since coming to East Spirit Prefecture, he has always practiced behind closed doors, enduring everything he can, and his conduct has not been overbearing or sharp."

Jiang Ding sat cross-legged, closing his eyes to practice.

News came from the Immortal Capital. The Green Ox Palace Innate True Person had successfully interrogated and learned the mastermind, and had secretly sent letters to the heads of major righteous sects, memorializing to the imperial court, requesting the removal of the Zhendong Marquis title.

The sound spread to everyone around, one passing to ten, ten to a hundred, and the entire camp was stirred up.

"Yes, Young Master, rest assured."

Chou Di revealed a look of doubt.

There wasn't much time left.

Long San was silent.

Ten thousand gold value was not as good as this thing.

The enthusiasm of thousands of people in the mountains was stimulated. Regardless of possible dangers, nets of Blue-Fluorescent Butterflies were constantly sent in, day and night without stopping.

Jiang Ding's face was slightly cold.

Long Zhengwu was quick-eyed and quick-handed, tearing off a piece of white cloth to cover the Red-Tailed Falcon, and handed it up, joyfully saying: "Caught a wild bird, this is dedicated to the Young Master."

Long Zhengwu said hurriedly.

Yao Xiu, the 'Point Evil Pen' who had already become the deputy leader of the Righteousness Gang, swept and integrated the size of gangs in the city with the support of the Marquis Mansion. His momentum had grown several times, and he now led more than ten internal qi realm martial artists from the gang to act as 'scattered cavalry.'

A camp, also like this.

The Red-Tailed Falcon chirped several times, struggling to dodge, but was still pierced through the wing by an arrow, chirping incessantly, its flight path crooked.

In the blink of an eye, the Red-Tailed Falcon was already several meters away, and one could even see the number on the letter tube.

Long Zhengwu finally made up his mind, his hand waving downward heavily. In an instant, more than ten arrows were fired together. *Chirp chirp! *

"Young Master, wait, wait!"

In the sky, a cheerful sound came. A Red-Tailed Falcon flew from somewhere, circled the camp several times, and fell straight toward a place.

"Silver cannot break it, the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce will write an IOU!"

"General Chen!"

"No rush."

A pair of black eyes the size of rice grains stared at Long Zhengwu in confusion, but still flew toward him.

Jiang Ding didn't go into detail and asked: "I'm still missing more than 15,000 pairs of Blue-Fluorescent Butterflies. How long will it take?"

550,000 pairs, not a single pair could be missing.

With one net, there might be more than ten taels of silver. What kind of butterfly fishing is this? It's clearly fishing for gold! Even the guards of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce around were about to go crazy, looking at the vast East Spirit Mountain, as if they were looking at gold mountains!

The Four Seas Chamber of Commerce is absolutely neutral. The ruler in East Spirit Prefecture is the Zhendong Marquis, so the Chamber of Commerce will cooperate with the other party. If one day Jiang Ding becomes the master of East Spirit Prefecture, they will also cooperate with Jiang Ding's order to clear out the remnants of the Marquis Mansion.

He knew this was true.

"It's past noon now, and it will be close to evening if we march over."

Drops of blood fell on the ground.

!.

"Now it can be confirmed that this thing is extremely important to him. Could it be that there is really an amazing strange skill in the world that grows by absorbing spirit butterflies?"

"Long Old Gentleman's eloquence, I am far inferior." Chen Chen said coldly: "However, you must know that the one who received the Marquis's courtesy is the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, not Long San."

As the distance got closer, the letter tube at its tail became clearly visible.

"Only Blue-Fluorescent Butterflies!"

Uncovering the white cloth, a Red-Tailed Falcon pounced out, its sharp beak pecking at his face, but it was caught lightly.

"Four days, four days at most."

*Chirp chirp! * As the words fell, the herb gatherers and Jianghu people around the camp felt suffocated, their eyes quickly becoming fiery.

Jiang Ding said solemnly: "Tell the brothers, one pair of Blue-Fluorescent Butterflies, one tael of silver, but only for these two days. Once the two days are over, not a single penny will be given!"

"Young Master! Wait, wait!"

One prefecture is like this, one county is like this.

In an instant, the large camp was empty, leaving only a few people.

Chen Chen's face changed slightly.

"Shoot!"

Jiang Ding took out the letter tube, shook it with internal power, turned it into powder, and threw the injured Red-Tailed Falcon back.

"If the General Association of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce knows that you deliberately neglected the honored guest of the Marquis Mansion and deliberately shirked, even if they kill you, so what?"

Whoever holds power, they are on whose side.

"I offer 15,000 taels of silver! A hundred times the price!"

"Young Master Hei Jin, why are you suddenly interested in that thief again?"

Jiang Ding's eyes turned cold, and a trace of killing intent permeated without cover, and the coldness around him suddenly grew.

Long San didn't fear him, saying sternly: "My Four Seas Chamber of Commerce can get a seat even when meeting the Marquis. You dragged me here like a prisoner. Do you think that after you take charge of the soldiers, your strength and nobility have far exceeded the Marquis?"

Jiang Ding glanced at him, and his hand left the sword hilt.

His expression was cold, and he handed out an envelope.

One tael of silver, in the past, was enough for them to work for half a year.

The laboratory that could extract 'Blue-Gold 2413' from Blue-Fluorescent Butterflies could only be done by top laboratories in the Immortal Sect. Jiang Ding couldn't afford the price of their action and could only use materials to offset it.

The branches of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and they can work together, all relying on this bird for communication.

At dawn, the heavy-armored troops led by Chen Chen, more than a hundred people, rode out of the city gate one after another, silent and quiet.

Long Zhengwu looked at the Red-Tailed Falcon constantly approaching in the sky, his face full of pain, his hand drawing the bow shaking several times, and it didn't fall for a long time.

After confirmation, not only the herb gatherers and idlers, but even the guards of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce had red eyes, left their posts, and rushed into the mountains.

Besides this person, the Zhendong Marquis attached great importance to this matter and sent out relatives, the head of the Zheng family, 'Mixed Gold Blade' Zheng Ye, totaling three internal qi perfection experts, among whom were those at the forefront of the Dragon-Phoenix List.

Now only one pair of Blue-Fluorescent Butterflies is needed!

"I like it very much, but don't send it again, just execute it directly."

It wasn't just verbal. He took out two silver notes totaling 15,000 taels and patted them on the table, his voice spreading hundreds of meters around: "Silver, just put it here, deposited with Long Old Gentleman. Whoever has the ability, just take it for me!"

Chen Chen clapped his hands and brought up a person, precisely the East Spirit shopkeeper of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, Long San. He wasn't abused, but his clothes were a bit messy from the pulling.

Long San knew that he couldn't stop it. Even if he died, someone in the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce would execute the order of the Zhendong Marquis Mansion.

His strength and the soldiers under his command were all obtained from the Marquis Mansion. Although Zhendong Marquis Tang Wang had the appearance of a hero, he couldn't tolerate such subordinates.

The number of Blue-Fluorescent Butterflies was increasing rapidly.

At the same time,

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"The Fierce Tiger Stronghold had such a large strength. Lu Jingtian and Yang Dongsheng's strength was not bad, and Zhou Kun's ability to train soldiers was also okay, but just because they posed a slight threat to the Blue-Fluorescent Butterflies, he immediately went up the mountain to destroy them without any hesitation."

Chen Chen asked sideways.

Long Zhengwu carefully took the Red-Tailed Falcon and touched its injured wing with pain.

"Forget it."

"According to the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce, the 550,000 pairs of Blue-Fluorescent Butterflies he needs will be captured in four days at most. If you want to take action, do it as soon as possible."

This Red-Tailed Falcon is a spirit bird carefully cultivated by the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce for hundreds of years. It not only flies fast and high but also knows at least dozens of people from the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce and can understand simple words.

He had already lit the spirit incense to contact the Wolf God Sect Dharma King. The Dharma King could arrive at any time, and Zhendong Marquis Tang Wang would not let him leave the city, just in case.

With such military strength, breaking a city is easy.

Originally, there was also the Dragon-Tiger Martial Hall master 'Heaven-Turning Monkey' Yuan Old Gentleman, who declined due to serious illness, looking like he was on his deathbed, so it was not easy to force him.

"I wasn't interested in a caged beast that was bound to die."

Hei Jin laughed lightly: "But since he could escape under so many people's eyes, this is a bit interesting. He is qualified to be my whetstone."
