Chapter 270: Prisoners
Zhang Yang was hunched over, panting like an old man who was dying.
"So this is the sword cultivator who can kill me!"
With a bitter smile in his heart, Zhang Yang also felt a sense of alarm deep in his heart.
There is no doubt that sword cultivators are very powerful, second only to demon cultivators who are good at self-destruction, because the way sword cultivators fight is to burn all their own potential and output at all costs, just like a madman.
On the other hand, the essence of the Golden Elixir Dao is to maintain health and seek the truth. No matter what you do, you first need to consider whether your body can withstand it.
So this is why Zhang Yang was able to crush the five Jindan Dao foundation builders in Black Mist Village by himself.
But the price is that his life span is now less than two hundred years.
"Relying on passion and courage alone is not enough to last. People say that Jindan Dao cultivators value resources the most. There is such a thing as wealth, friends, magic and land. But in my opinion, sword cultivators need more resources, because the sword cultivators' violent fighting style is doomed to be short-lived without resources!"
"So - you are here, the village builder!"
"Warm reminder, you still have a battlefield that has not been cleaned up and plundered. Do you want to plunder it now?"
"Yes, plunder."
Zhang Yang hesitated for a second, but finally chose to compromise, because he now realized that as a lone swordsman in this world of immortal cultivation, he is at most a short-lived and brilliant meteor.
He didn't want to be a meteor and didn't want to die young, so he had to establish a sect, which could not only train thugs for himself but also provide a place for collecting and storing resources.
Putting aside other things, is a wandering swordsman qualified to get such a benefit as sword energy radiation?
But establishing a sect is a complicated matter, and he also needs to practice, so he can only hand over part of his authority.
"brush!"
A faint white light swept across the entire Black Mist Village like mist. About ten minutes later, a detailed looting list appeared in front of Zhang Yang.
"Obtained by plundering two incomplete immortal souls and killing two foundation-building stage Jindan Taoists."
"Captured the mortal monster, the Black Soul Gourd."
"I looted the incomplete fragments of the Xuan-level formation diagram."
"We have captured two severely injured Jindan Taoists."
"Obtained two ordinary spirit gathering platforms."
"Plunder 50,000 units of iron and 20,000 units of copper."
"Plunder twelve earth pills."
"Plunder 50,000 units of spiritual rice."
"251 Black Mist villagers captured."
"15 Black Bull villagers captured."
"Rescue the four prisoners from Black Mist Village."
"Captured in the last battle—"
"Kill a Black Wolf Demon King and plunder a complete demon soul."
"200 immortal stones."
"An ordinary demon king's heart."
"3000 units of blood essence of an ordinary demon king."
"Plunder the Demon King's secret technique to burn blood."
"We looted a special item, a boat ticket."
"We have looted a special item, the Heavenly Secret Fragment."
——
"What is the Heaven's Secret Fragment?"
Zhang Yang quickly skimmed through all the information and finally asked.
"Friendly reminder, you need to establish at least a level 1 sect and actively open the Golden Balance system before you can sell and purchase materials from the heavens and the myriad worlds. At the same time, the system will provide paid item appraisals and preliminary intelligence analysis."
"Warm reminder, a level 1 sect requires a strange mountain gate, an ordinary spirit gathering platform, and an ordinary formation diagram."
Zhang Yang pouted and thought, Wen Xin your sister! Could it be that this fragment of the secret is similar to the fragment of hope?
After all, he was in the shadow world before, but now he is in the real world.
Putting the matter aside for the moment, he first swallowed two earth pills to slightly reduce his own injuries, and then Zhang Yang went to see the prisoners.
The world of immortal heroes also needs to be people-oriented, and he hopes that these captives will please him.
The first people Zhang Yang went to see were the two Jindan Taoists from Heiwu Village (friendly reminder, they are not Taoists in the Jindan period, nor are they simple Taoists, but only those Taoists whose practice direction is the Jindan Avenue).
This is an old man and a young boy. They had escaped quickly from Zhang Yang's Nine-Layered Mountain Sword Force, so they were only seriously injured. Now they were lying on the ground with dejected faces. In fact, they had secretly taken healing pills and were able to escape, but they did not dare to do so, even though Zhang Yang did not even have the manpower to watch over them.
This is the deterrent power of sword cultivators. They know very well that even if they escape 9,999 meters, the final outcome may still be being killed by a single sword strike!
Rather than this, it is better to wait for the consequences.
"Life and death, two paths, one is to follow me, the other is to kill Jishanmen, it's your choice."
Zhang Yang didn't say anything more and directly stated his conditions.
"I choose the path of survival. The path has nothing to do with Black Mist Village. I'm just passing by, just passing by." The old man lying on the ground pretending to be dead was the first to jump up.
"I also choose to live. Although I am from Black Mist Village, the previous village chief insulted my mother. This hatred is irreconcilable. Now the Immortal has killed that old villain for me. From now on, I will be the Immortal's running dog!"
The young man also made his choice decisively, and even looked grateful, as if he had been living a life worse than death in the Black Mist Village.
"Master Immortal, please be wise! His father is the village chief, and his mother is the village chief's wife!"
The old man immediately expressed his loyalty.
"It's okay! From now on you will be the left and right protectors of the Tianjian Sect's mountain gate. Do your job well and don't waste your time." Zhang Yang didn't care at all. What he lacked most now was manpower. No matter what evil intentions he had, as long as he could get the job done, it was fine.
Zhang Yang recruited two Jindan Taoists and asked them to heal their wounds first and then be responsible for maintaining order.
Zhang Yang himself focused on looking at the four captives from Black Mist Village.
This is very interesting. These prisoners were imprisoned in an underground iron prison in Black Mist Village. They were held there with the help of an ancient village protection formation. Normally, it would be impossible for them to escape from prison. However, Zhang Yang used the third-level golden sword to break the ancient village protection formation, and they were able to escape.
In fact, as soon as they escaped from prison, they helped Zhang Yang kill an old woman who specialized in cultivating the spiritual sea and was said to be the second most powerful foundation-building master in the Black Mist Village.
This ultimately led to the Black Mist Village's mortal-level strange Black Mist Gourd not participating in the battle.
"My fellow Taoists, thank you for your help in the battle just now." Zhang Yang put on a kind smile.
These four captives were not simple, but since they did not leave immediately, nor did they declare that the Black Mist Village was their spoils, they just waited quietly by the side, indirectly shocking the surviving villagers of the Black Mist Village. This shows that they can still communicate and build relationships seriously.
"I am Zhang Jiao, the new leader of Tianjian Sect. May I know your names?"
"It turns out to be Master Zhang! Thank you so much for saving my life!"
The four of them, without thinking twice, paid their respects to Zhang Yang. This was a very good attitude.
However, these four people do not look like immortal cultivators. Apart from having scars all over their bodies, they also have a rough and unruly look on their faces. They don't know why the Black Mist Village went to such great lengths to imprison them secretly. Wouldn't it be better to just kill them?
