Chapter 115

Lu Changsheng dug all the way toward the deeper part of the Origin Stone mineral vein.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

The claws after breaking through were sharper, and the large amount of hard giant rock in front was like tofu dregs, easily dug down.

He waved his claws and dug forward rapidly.

Two hours later, he arrived in a dark underground space.

At this moment, a faint light suddenly appeared not far in front.

"Swish..."

His heart moved slightly, and he rushed toward the narrow passage in front rapidly, like a flash of lightning.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived in an underground karst cave.

The surrounding space was not big or small, a full ten or so zhang in radius, and the top was full of stalactites, dripping transparent liquid downward.

The air emitted bursts of charming fragrance.

In the central open ground, a small stone pier surrounded by giant rocks caught Lu Changsheng's eyes.

The center of the stone pier was hollow, and a pool of clear water was rippling slightly, also emitting strands of radiance.

The light source just now was exactly what this object emitted.

"This is?"

Lu Changsheng's face was happy, his legs kicked, and he rushed rapidly toward the clear spring.

After a few flashes, he arrived at the edge of the water pool.

The fragrance was pungent at the edge of the pool; he took a deep breath, and his entire body became much lighter.

"It's actually a heavenly treasure."

His body sensed such a strange movement, which made him confirm it instantly; he did not hesitate anymore and immediately placed his claws into the pool water.

【Low-grade Origin Liquid discovered, absorb?】

At this moment, a crisp panel prompt sounded instantly in his mind.

"Absorb."

Lu Changsheng thought silently in his heart.

【Source Energy Point +5.】

【Source Energy Point +5.】

As the water in the pool was sinking crazily, the resources in his hand were also improving rapidly.

Not long after, the pool water reached the bottom, revealing milky white giant rocks around it.

"This heavenly treasure is indeed powerful; it's actually equivalent to mid-grade Origin Stone, and the quantity is quite astonishing."

Lu Changsheng's face was somewhat excited.

Open the panel.

Source Energy Points: 2700.

The resources in his hand surged again; if it continued like this, he reckoned that in a few days, he would be able to break through his cultivation.

With the large amount of resources in this Ten Thousand Great Mountains, he could also quickly break through to Rebirth, or even the Innate Martial Path.

This was just the periphery of the Ten Thousand Great Mountains; the depths were likely gestating even more astonishing treasures.

Just when he was preparing to withdraw, a sudden change occurred.

"Zzz..."

At the end of the passage entrance, countless Bloodthirsty Rats rushed rapidly toward the underground karst cave, like a tide.

Majestically crowding together, it looked very creepy.

The two leading Bloodthirsty Rats had extremely huge bodies, more than several times larger than the other rat colonies.

Not only that, these two Bloodthirsty Rats emitted powerful baleful energy all over their bodies, their eyes were blood-red, and their murderous intent was chilling.

"They are the leaders of the rat colony, and there are two of them."

Seeing this situation, Lu Changsheng's thoughts moved slightly.

The heavenly treasure here was likely something the opponent had occupied for a long time.

Now it was all cheap for him.

If he hadn't broken through to Tier 5, meeting two Rat Kings would likely be bad, but at this moment, his strength had long since undergone earth-shaking changes.

Seeing the rat colony led by the two Rat Kings killing toward him with fierce momentum.

Lu Changsheng did not hesitate anymore and immediately rushed out, his speed as fast as a thunderbolt.

In the void, one could only see trails of afterimages.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of the two Rat Kings.

He issued an innate skill 【Soul Strike】 toward a Rat King on the left.

"Hum..."

A strange fluctuation in the void formed rapidly, turning into a ray of light that quickly submerged into the Rat King's mind.

"Awoo, awoo, awoo..."

The Rat King wailed rapidly, rolling crazily on the ground, sand and stones flew everywhere around, and rolling dust and smoke were kicked up.

Under one strike of 【Soul Strike】, this Tier 5 exotic beast instantly lost its combat effectiveness.

Immediately after, Lu Changsheng stretched out his sharp claws fiercely and pierced toward the head of the Rat King on the right.

Before it could react, the sharp claws pierced fiercely from the Rat King's eyes; for a time, fresh blood sprayed out, and the screams resounded throughout the entire underground space.

Not long after, the two Rat Kings fell to the ground and lost movement.

With his strength after breaking through, killing some ordinary Tier 5 exotic beasts was almost effortless.

Every breakthrough of his was a perfect breakthrough, and the mysterious bloodline in his body was stimulated step by step.

Except for some exotic beasts in the mountains that contained the bloodlines of divine beasts, within the same level, he was not afraid of any exotic beasts.

Seeing this, the group of ordinary Bloodthirsty Rats all around scattered like birds and beasts, retreating crazily toward the rear.

Lu Changsheng did not pay attention to these ordinary exotic beasts, preparing to wait for the ant colony to arrive and hand it over to them to clean up.

He put away the two Rat King corpses and turned his head to rush toward the depths of the passage.

Changping County.

At noon.

The warm sun was high, green willows shaded the courtyard, and the air seemed to emit a sweet scent.

【Source Energy Point +1】

【Source Energy Point +1】

Lu Changsheng sat upright on the stone chair in the courtyard, hearing the crazy prompts coming from his ears, which made him quite satisfied.

He picked up the wine pot on the table and drank it all in one gulp.

"Gulp..."

A cool feeling rose from his abdomen, also carrying faint Origin Qi, which dispersed into his limbs and bones, making his own blood even stronger.

These fruit wines were all brewed from spiritual fruits in the mountains; drinking them year after year, even his own physique had strengthened quite a bit.

Since these days, he had rarely gone out and was quietly settling down.

Even the tasks of going out to clean up evil spirits were pushed away completely.

As the pangolin was already on the right track in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, he would soon usher in a big explosion of his own strength.

At such a critical moment, he naturally would not go out of the city to hunt.

Miao Qingfeng and Mo Xueyou were likely squatting and waiting for him all the time.

At this moment, he was in the dark, so naturally, he didn't need to be in a hurry.

Just as Lu Changsheng was thinking, slight footsteps came from outside the courtyard.

Lu Changsheng turned his head to look.

He saw a beautiful woman with a hot figure wearing a purple long dress walking over gracefully, followed by two men in black clothes, carrying a large gray wooden box in their hands.

The person who came was exactly the master of the Shark Gang, Yue Wanting.

Yue Wanting's footsteps were soft, and her face always carried a smile, making people unable to help but want to get close.

Not long after, she walked to Lu Changsheng's side.

"Young Master, these are this year's offerings; this concubine personally brought some quite precious items."

Yue Wanting smiled beautifully, her tone somewhat ingratiating.

After speaking, she also clapped her hands.

The two black-clothed gang members immediately opened the box, looking at Lu Changsheng with awe.

Lu Changsheng glanced at it; most of the things inside the box were some hundred-year-old spiritual medicines, and there were also a few strange stones.

He estimated that it could also provide two or three hundred Source Energy Points in total.

It was actually a bit of an unexpected joy.

The ability of a force to collect spiritual creatures could not be underestimated; this was just a small gang.

Those top-tier large sects occupying spiritual veins and blessed lands were likely even more astonishing.

"Not bad, you didn't come here specifically to escort spiritual creatures today, did you?"

Lu Changsheng waved his hand, looking understated.

"Young Master is wise."

Yue Wanting smiled brightly, making people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze.

"Everything in the gang is already on the right track, but because of some interests, it is inevitable to have some friction with the Sanhe Gang."

While speaking, she also secretly looked at Lu Changsheng.

These days, because of Lu Changsheng's strong support, she had also completely controlled the entire Shark Gang.

Her heart was even a bit fortunate to have invested in Lu Changsheng's command.

The slight resistance in the past had long since dissipated without a trace.

The opponent did not care about any power within the gang at all; with great power in her hands, she became increasingly obsessed.

"Then this official will go with you to the main hall of the Sanhe Gang."

Lu Changsheng looked indifferent.

Immediately, he got up and walked toward the outside of the courtyard.

Since the day he started practicing martial arts, he had been threatened by the opponent; today, it was just right to make an end to it.

With his current strength, using one-tenth of it would be enough to sweep the entire Sanhe Gang.

It was also just right to release the news to the outside world that he had broken through to Blood Transmutation, so as to avoid certain people without eyes coming up to provoke him again.

"No? Did I say something wrong? Shouldn't it be to let us maintain restraint?"

Yue Wanting looked stunned.

Her heart was even somewhat unbelievable.

The main altar of the Sanhe Gang was not a place easy to break into; the gang leader Huang Tianba was a Blood Transmutation expert, plus the many gang members and arrangements, he reckoned that even if they went together, they would not get any benefits.

"Young Master, the opponent has many experts, shouldn't we..."

Yue Wanting hurriedly spoke to advise, her face somewhat anxious.

She did not want to lose the great situation that had finally arrived.

"No matter."

Lu Changsheng waved his hand, his expression always as calm as water.

Seeing that Lu Changsheng had already made the decision, Yue Wanting's heart sank, and it was not good to advise again.

After all, the opponent was the leader behind the scenes; at a critical moment, she did not dare to overstep. She knew this point very clearly; otherwise, she would not have been able to sit in this position of gang leader.

However, her heart was always somewhat uneasy; as far as she knew, Lu Changsheng had not broken through to Blood Transmutation.

If a conflict occurred, he would likely be unable to retreat unscathed.

Lu Changsheng carried his hands behind his back, and after leaving the courtyard gate, he walked slowly along the street, looking very free and easy.

Yue Wanting and the others followed behind somewhat uneasily.

"Gang Leader, can Young Master Lu suppress Huang Tianba on this trip?"

A black-clothed gang member looked worried.

"We'll just follow."

A trace of worry also appeared in Yue Wanting's eyes.

The crowd walked all the way, and the surrounding civilians saw this and retreated one after another.

Not long after.

Lu Changsheng and the others arrived in the west of the city, in front of a large courtyard.

Two stone lions were placed in front of the door, quite domineering.

A group of Sanhe Gang members had already gathered here, clearly having received the news long ago.

The crowd stared coldly at Lu Changsheng and the others, their eyes full of murderous intent.

However, hindered by Lu Changsheng's government status, none dared to take action on the spot.

Sanhe Gang, inside the Giant Ant Hall.

Huang Tianba sat upright in a chair like a great horse, his face full of baleful energy.

His blood and energy were quite extraordinary.

"Gang Leader, the opponent has already arrived, how to deal with it."

A yellow-clothed gang member knelt on one knee, his expression respectful.

"Humph... since this person dares to come to the door to find trouble, even if this gang leader suppresses and kills the opponent on the spot, it is reasonable and legal."

Huang Tianba's tone was cold, and murderous intent burst out in his eyes.

"As for that woman Yue Wanting, it's just right to take her together."

He licked the corner of his mouth, and a trace of heat rose in his abdomen.

That stunner, he had long coveted her for a long time.

Lu Changsheng took a few people and walked all the way toward the central main hall.

The many gang members around did not dare to step forward to stop them.

Lu Changsheng did not pay attention to these small fries and soon walked to a majestic hall.

Looking up.

"Giant Ant Hall."

Three gilded large characters shone brightly on the plaque.

"Bang, bang..."

Lu Changsheng punched toward the plaque.

The violent energy instantly hit the plaque, directly breaking it into pieces and falling to the ground.

"A mere black gang, also dare to call itself 'Righteous'?"

Today he was here to find fault, so naturally, he didn't need to be polite.

The group of gang members all around glared angrily, clenched their fists, their faces full of murderous intent.

If not for the gang leader's strict order, the crowd would likely have swarmed up long ago.

Huang Tianba and the others inside the hall sensed the movement and all walked out.

A group of people stood on the steps, seeing this situation, their faces like frost.

As the saying goes, don't hit people in the face; the opponent came up and smashed their signboard, simply not putting them in his eyes.

"I don't know what business brings Officer Lu to visit today?"

Huang Tianba gritted his teeth, suppressing the anger in his heart.

"This official suspects that there are traces of cult activities here and wants to take you all to the Demon Suppression Office for interrogation."

Lu Changsheng carried his hands behind his back, looking indifferent.

He knew the opponent would definitely not obey obediently; today was to force the opponent to take action first.

Yue Wanting beside him was incomparably nervous in her heart.

If the opponent swarmed up, the few of them would likely be finished.

"Does the Officer have evidence?"

Huang Tianba's expression was extremely cold.

The many gang members beside him were also full of anger, wishing they could immediately blast Lu Changsheng and the others to death on the spot.

"Evidence?"

Lu Changsheng smiled lightly.

He took a white bag from his bosom and threw it over.

"This is the evidence; this official suspects you are manufacturing large-scale lethal items, follow this official to take a trip immediately..."

Huang Tianba took the bag and opened it to look.

Inside were all gray-brown powders, which seemed to be some kind of mineral powder.

"Officer Lu, this is clearly mineral powder!"

"We are on good terms with Officer Chen's family, hope the Officer does not mistake himself."

Huang Tianba's tone was incomparably grim, and the murderous intent in his heart was about to be uncontrollable.

The gang members on the side were all holding weapons, looking eager to try.

They could no longer suppress the murderous intent in their hearts.

Yue Wanting looked at Lu Changsheng with a strange expression.

She did not expect the opponent to "frame" so blatantly.

However, this situation made her feel secretly happy in her heart.

If not for worrying that Lu Changsheng could not defeat the many gang members, she would have laughed out loud long ago.

"This official says it's an evil object, so it's an evil object? Do you have an opinion?"

Lu Changsheng's tone was indifferent.

As a Patrol Envoy, he had the right to take people to the government office for questioning; wearing this official robe, he represented the imperial court.

As for the Four Great Families, there were not even Rebirth experts in the clan, and with his own strength, he was not afraid of the opponent at all.

"Fuck! You are looking for death!"

Huang Tianba's anger soared to the sky, and he could no longer endure it.

The blood and energy all over his body surged, and he punched toward Lu Changsheng.

Violent energy surged in the void, and bursts of sonic booms came.

"Good, Gang Leader, kill this person today."

The many gang members were full of joy.

Being humiliated by Lu Changsheng one after another, the group of people could no longer suppress the murderous intent in their hearts.

Yue Wanting looked at Lu Changsheng with some worry.

The momentum of Huang Tianba's strike was too terrifying; although the opponent was only in the early stage of Blood Transmutation, she still could not block a single move.

Lu Changsheng smiled faintly.

The opponent finally took action, and his own goal was also achieved.

"Huang Tianba of the Sanhe Gang attacked an imperial official; this seat, according to the law, will suppress and kill this person on the spot."

His tone was understated.

He also punched forward.

The fist momentum looked soft and weak, without any strength.

Even in the air, there was no movement at all.

The many gang members around looked at Lu Changsheng as if they were looking at a fool.

"The opponent must have gone crazy, still wanting to rely on the imperial court's laws..."

Just when the crowd was discussing, a sudden change occurred.

Huang Tianba and Lu Changsheng collided fiercely.

The fist wind surged in the void, kicking up bursts of dust and smoke, and the crowd nearby retreated one after another.

"Clack..."

A sound of bone breaking rang out, and Huang Tianba's arm was directly hit and shrunk into a ball; endless pain struck, making his face distorted.

"You are..."

Huang Tianba looked at Lu Changsheng with fear, his pupils shrinking.

Before he could react, Lu Changsheng's iron fist hit his chest fiercely.

"Puff..."

As the fresh blood sprayed out instantly, Huang Tianba's entire body flew backward for more than ten meters, slamming fiercely into the door frame behind.

Afterward, he fell onto the steps, rolled to the side, and lost movement.

This person's chest was completely sunken, and even his breathing was extremely weak.

Clearly, he would not live long.

One punch, Huang Tianba died.

"What!"

The many gang members around were full of fear, trembling with fright.

They did not expect their own gang leader to not even hold out for one move before being beaten to death.

"You... broke through to Blood Transmutation..."

The crowd looked at Lu Changsheng and the others tremblingly, their eyes full of fear.

The full confidence just now had completely disappeared.

Yue Wanting also looked at Lu Changsheng with surprise.

She did not expect the opponent to have broken through to Blood Transmutation without a sound.

A huge sense of surprise instantly surged into her heart; in the future, relying on this towering tree, their Shark Gang would rise rapidly.

"From now on, the Sanhe Gang belongs to Yue Wanting's management; whoever has a different opinion can say it, this official has always acted impartially."

Lu Changsheng carried his hands behind his back, looking indifferent.

As if he had just beaten a mosquito to death.

"We pay respects to the Gang Leader."

The Sanhe Gang members knelt on the ground one after another, shouting toward Yue Wanting.

Now who dared to have an opinion, wasn't that looking for death?

Didn't they see that Huang Tianba's corpse was almost cold?

"This concubine pays respects to the Young Master."

Seeing this, Yue Wanting also knelt down immediately, a long dress outlining a perfect figure.

She was very smart and naturally knew that all this came from Lu Changsheng.

Facing such an expert, she did not dare to play any tricks at all.
