He swiftly ransacked the bully's room, reaping a great deal of loot. Then, he ran up the mountain, buried the treasure, cleaned it up, and slipped home to wait and see what would happen next.
The bully was discovered three days later.
The stench of the corpse reached the door, and that's when people found out.
When government officials came to investigate the scene, they found no clues, and the case became a cold case.
He went to watch and listened to the conversation, feeling a strange sense of pleasure.
Having found a way to make money, he no longer wanted to chop wood and farm, but he also didn't want to arouse suspicion. Just then, the government was recruiting soldiers, so he joined the army and rose through the ranks with his magical powers.
In those years, he lived a carefree life, with money and power to his name. Such a good life almost made him forget the ten-year promise.
The ten-year agreement was something he was forced to recall.
On that day, he was enjoying himself with his newly acquired concubine when the mark etched deep in his soul suddenly appeared before him.
He was so frightened that he suddenly became impotent.
From that day onwards.
The mark was always in front of him. When he ate, he would look up and see the mark. When he looked at people, the mark was on their faces. When he looked at the sun, the mark was on the sun.
During that period, he made a series of mistakes, was whipped many times, and even lost the official position that was within his grasp.
That mark constantly reminded him that he was a servant, and that he had a master.
But where can we find 10,000 people?
The fear deep within his soul told him that if he broke his promise, the ten-year deadline would be the day he died.
He was experiencing the joy of being alive, how could he possibly die? How could he give up his beautiful wife and concubines, his wealth and honor?
Driven by wickedness, he decided to go all the way.
They hired a Taoist priest to pray for the entire army, and each soldier was given a peace charm.
He tampered with the amulet using the magic taught by that important figure.
During that period, he lived in constant fear and anxiety.
The ten-year period has come to an end.
That day, the entire army disappeared.
He disappeared too.
He appeared in the secret realm along with everyone else.
He watched helplessly as his soldiers, who had fought alongside him through thick and thin, were slaughtered by streaks of red light; in a short while, they were all wiped out.
Those are 20,000 soldiers!
Even though he had already faced life and death, he still felt like his heart, liver, and lungs were about to come out.
The woman sighed, "You did a great job!"
The two words "very good" were full of profound meaning, and he could tell that they were not praise.
He said in a trembling voice, "I wouldn't dare!"
"Heh, if I say you did well, then you did well. I keep my word and will never treat you unfairly."
Another beam of white light flew in from the horizon and landed between his eyebrows, increasing his magical power.
With this reward, he felt much better and boldly asked, "May I ask, Master, how many men do you need? I will do my best to get enough for you!"
The woman said, "There's no rush. We can proceed slowly. A total of 100,000 people should be enough. We can send them out every ten years."
"yes!"
He dared not say anything more and was ejected again.
This time, he received a spirit stone necklace.
When he came out, the imperial court was already in chaos.
Suddenly, 20,000 of the main force disappeared, greatly damaging the nation's strength.
Most importantly, this incident caused widespread panic and demoralization within the military. Before long, some people seized the opportunity to rebel, and the country descended into chaos.
For him, this was a good thing; no one cared about the mysterious disappearance of the soldier anymore.
After leaving the secret realm, he stopped serving in the army and went into business. Within a few years, he became extremely wealthy and remarried a beautiful wife.
Upon hearing that his former wives and concubines wanted to remarry, he flew into a rage, traveled thousands of miles to kill them, left behind countless books and riches, fabricated miracles, and instructed people to properly educate their children to become successful and bring glory to their ancestors.
