"puff!"
With a soft sound, the golden light shone like a sword.
Li Chunfeng's head kowtowed, and he never managed to lift it again.
A head the size of a roasted human head flew up, and before the crimson blood could even gush out, golden flames ignited, instantly incinerating everything.
Its main characteristic is its swift and decisive action; the white expanse is truly clean.
After Yuan Tiangang personally killed Li Chunfeng, he flicked his sleeve with a gloomy expression, and the four tokens fell into Han Qinhu's hands. "I will handle the Li family's affairs cleanly."
"With such sincerity, are you satisfied, Junior Brother Han?!"
Han Qinhu unceremoniously put away the token and laughed heartily, "Senior Brother, what are you saying? We are fellow disciples, you are my dearest friend, my brother, how can you be so distant?"
Seeing this, Zhang Yuanfeng seized the opportunity to join the conversation, saying, "We're all fellow disciples, there's no such thing as holding a grudge overnight. It's just a difference in philosophy. Once we talk it out, everything will be fine."
Yuan Tiangang felt incredibly annoyed upon hearing this, but he knew it was an attempt to save face, so he forced a stiff smile and half-heartedly continued the conversation.
For a moment, the three brothers were chatting and laughing together.
It was as if the tense atmosphere from just moments ago had completely vanished.
Li Chunfeng's life was so easily dismissed, as worthless as a stray dog.
Seeing this scene.
Bai Cang couldn't help but shake his head, feeling that the scene before him had a touch of dark humor.
But that's the "jianghu" (江湖, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry) – it's cruel and realistic, and besides fighting and killing, it's mostly about human relationships and social interactions.
What is a seasoned veteran?
They'll jump at any opportunity for personal gain, fawn over any powerful figure, and hide from any danger. They're thick-skinned, ruthless, cunning, and slippery, never letting themselves suffer the slightest loss.
Without a doubt, Yuan Tiangang is a typical "veteran".
From the moment Han Qinhu revealed his intention to seize power, Li Chunfeng was destined to die.
Even if Bai Cang didn't want to kill him, Yuan Tiangang would eventually make him suffer some kind of accident, such as "committing suicide after being struck by 9981 swords in the back".
Nothing more than a pledge of allegiance!
Yuan Tiangang, as the "strongest" in the Chilong Temple, also has Li Chunfeng, a Dao Foundation Real Person, as his wing.
However, having just been stripped of power, his actual strength was far from enough to contend with Han Qinhu's faction; in fact, it could be said that his life was in the hands of others.
If Li Chunfeng hadn't died, how could Yuan Tiangang have slept at night?
Is he really not afraid of Han Qinhu, or Bai Cang, who might be in a bad mood one day and come to his door in the middle of the night with a sword, offering him a "forever blissful" package?
Bai Cang's killing intent was already made up; he merely gave Han Qinhu a reason to make trouble and Yuan Tiangang an excuse to deceive him.
This is the tragedy of "relying on mountains and they crumble, relying on trees and they run away!"
Bai Cang didn't know if Lao Han's character was as different from Yuan Tiangang's.
But today's events have only strengthened his resolve to "rely on himself as a person."
Leveraging someone's influence is acceptable; when Bai Cang was still relatively powerless, he also relied on Han Qinhu's influence on several occasions.
But to rely on others is to be irresponsible towards one's own life.
With that in mind, Bai Cang didn't bother with the hypocrisy of the three brothers, Han and his fellow disciples. He turned and walked over to Yao Chonggu. "Senior Brother, may I ask you for a favor?"
Yao Chonggu smiled strangely and said jokingly, "It's fine, as long as you don't borrow my head."
Bai Cang smiled, and with a simple roll of his sleeves, all sorts of magical artifacts, brocade pouches, and miscellaneous items flew up.
"I just wanted my senior brother to help me deal with some odds and ends."
Although there were many wasteful measures in this battle, the benefits were not maximized.
However, Bai Cang almost single-handedly wiped out the Left Path Alliance, and the spoils of war were countless.
However, given his current cultivation level and strength, there are very few useful items that he can find worthwhile.
Apart from Zhou Ganzheng's "Asura Blood-Transforming Blade," a magical artifact with sixty-four forbidden attributes, there was almost nothing that Bai Cang could even look at.
He was too lazy to distinguish and deal with them one by one, so he simply packaged them up and "sold" them to General Manager Yao.
Given Yao Chonggu's status and wealth, he would never be greedy for such a small gain; he would only offer more.
"No problem, no problem."
With a flick of Yao Chonggu's sleeve, the mountain of "trophies" vanished.
Then, with a smile, he asked, "I wonder if Junior Brother has anything he likes?"
Bai Cang pondered for a moment, "Issues and formulas for Dao Foundation level pills, refining diagrams for high-grade magic artifacts, Yuan Magnetic cultivation techniques and secret arts, or cultivation techniques and secret arts related to stars and cosmic light are all acceptable."
Upon hearing this, Yao Chonggu frowned slightly and said with a wry smile, "Junior brother's request is not easy to fulfill."
Bai Cang slightly turned his head, pretending not to see Fang Baoliu's intense gaze, and said with a faint smile, "Senior Brother, just do your best. I'm not in a hurry."
Yao Chonggu gritted his teeth upon hearing this, "Fortunately, I am also of some family wealth. Junior brother, what do you think of this item?"
After saying that, Yao Chonggu flipped his hand and handed over an old jade slip.
Bai Cang took a look and was immediately overjoyed.
[Heavenly Demon Blood-Transforming Blade: Masterful]
Asuras transform into blood, and celestial demons become spirits, roaming freely across the universe!
The so-called "Asura Blood-Transforming Blade" is actually just the "embryo" of the "Heavenly Demon Blood-Transforming Blade".
The biggest difference between the two is whether or not they "lure" the celestial demons down to the mortal realm, imprison them, and refine them into magical artifacts.
Only those who refine the "Heavenly Demon" can unleash the full power of a complete magical artifact.
However, the act of "seducing" the Heavenly Demon is extremely dangerous, and one could easily be devoured by it.
Whether it's Zhao Yunlong or Zhou Ganzheng, the "Asura Blood-Transforming Blade" they forged was only a half-finished product.
Now that we have the refining diagram for the "Heavenly Demon Blood-Transforming Blade," Zhou Ganzheng's "Asura Blood-Transforming Blade" finally has a "use."
However, Bai Cang did not intend to take the risk of "luring" the Heavenly Demon to the mortal realm.
Within the "Gourd Heaven World," there is also a "Ghost King" with a cultivation of five thousand years that is being suppressed.
Bai Cang originally intended to use it as resources for Xiao Nie's growth, but now it seems that it might be possible to combine it with the method of refining the barbarians, as well as the "commanding the gods" talent and the "five elements of yin magic" to refine it into a "yin demon" to replace the heavenly demon and guard the "heavenly demon blood-transforming blade".
Just then, Han Qinhu, Yuan Tiangang, and Zhang Yuanfeng also found that they had reached a "friendship deal".
Before the return of the Heavenly River True Lord, Han Qinhu took over as the head of the temple, Yuan Tiangang remained the supervisor, Zhang Yuanfeng continued to serve as his chef, and Yao Chonggu succeeded Zhou Ganzheng as the lecturer after his death.
Even Fang Baoliu managed to secure the position of head of the forbidden academy, while Bai Cang "gained nothing," only serving as the "young abbot" to oversee the reconstruction of the five academies.
Thus, the Red Dragon General Hall has undergone a complete reshuffle from top to bottom.
It seems that the number of Dao Foundation True Persons is one less than before, including Luo True Person, who is a "half-crippled" person who is just "filling in the numbers".
Moreover, their trump cards, such as the Five Yin Ghost Riders, have been exhausted, and their elite troops have suffered heavy losses.
However, the strength of the Crimson Dragon Sect has increased more than tenfold compared to when Yuan Tiangang was in power.
Leaving aside Han Qinhu for the moment, Bai Cang alone could easily have wiped out all the previous high-ranking officials of the General Administration.
Apart from Master Luo, the new top-level members of the General Temple are all at least mid-grade Dao Foundation, which is a significant upgrade. There are even two high-grade Dao Foundation members.
However, Bai Cang didn't care about any of these things.
He didn't bother with anything, including the location where he missed his target and some things that Han Qinhu had kept from him.
The less you know, the less responsibility you bear.
Since Han Qinhu clearly didn't want him to get too involved with Xia Guohe Mountain Sect, Bai Cang was happy to have some peace and quiet.
As long as his supplies aren't depleted, that's fine!
Thinking of this, Bai Cang walked slowly to Yuan Tiangang with his hands behind his back, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Feeling frustrated? You'll get used to it. It's normal."
"You'll feel even more frustrated in the future, so you need to find your new place in the world!"
Those who frequently slide on their knees know that the most frustrating thing after surrendering is having nothing to do; it only gets more frustrating.
Yuan Tiangang's worst days are yet to come!
