Chapter 67: How Does the Field Master Want Them to Die?

After acquiring the Innate Realm martial arts technique, the Innate Martial Artist left satisfied.

Not long after the Innate Martial Artist departed, more Martial Artists arrived. Some were at the Innate Realm, others were not.

These people did not belong to major families; they were either independent cultivators or members of minor clans. They did not have much money on them—at most a little over a hundred Yuan Coins, and some didn’t even have fifty Yuan Coins. Jiang Taixuan could only introduce the Turntable to them.

The Turntable was a trap. Unless the System suddenly grew a conscience, no matter how much money was poured into it, it wouldn’t yield any real results.

Customers kept coming to the Dojo until nightfall. Jiang Taixuan’s commission from the day amounted to about a hundred and twenty Yuan Coins and several hundred Gold Coins.

“Why haven’t Ximen Qing and the others returned yet?” Jiang Taixuan looked at the sky. Collecting a reward shouldn’t take an entire day, right?

“Field Master, we are back.”

After waiting a little longer, Li Yuanba’s voice was heard. Ximen the Fatty and Huang Ruoyan followed behind him, holding their heads high with pride. Ahuai followed at the back with a bitter, helpless smile.

“Why are you so late? Did you get into a fight with someone?” Jiang Taixuan glanced at Li Yuanba and noticed many bloodstains on his clothes.

“Ask Ximen. I’m going to hang myself on a tree first.” Li Yuanba said this and quickly walked toward the Herb Field.

Jiang Taixuan frowned and looked at Ximen Qing. “What happened? Did you get the money back?”

“We got it back. Here are eight thousand nine hundred and sixty Yuan Coins, not a single one missing.” Ximen the Fatty looked at Huang Ruoyan, who took out several money bags and handed them to him.

Jiang Taixuan took them directly. The count was correct. “Now, explain the fighting situation.”

Ximen the Fatty gave Huang Ruoyan a helpless look. “It was because of them. They bet too much. The Wanyi Commerce Guild wanted to renege on the debt. When they saw we came together, they tried to renege on our share too. So Li Yuanba took action.”

“How much did you bet?” Jiang Taixuan looked at Huang Ruoyan. How much did this Fat Girl bet that the Wanyi Commerce Guild actually planned to cheat her?

“Not much. Just one thousand Yuan Crystals.” Huang Ruoyan said calmly.

“One thousand… Yuan Crystals?” Jiang Taixuan felt the urge to spit blood. In Clear Moon City, even for top-tier forces, ten thousand Yuan Coins was a huge sum of money, and you threw down one thousand Yuan Crystals?

That was a hundred thousand Yuan Coins. With a tenfold payout, that made a million. Even if they dismantled the Wanyi Commerce Guild, they wouldn’t be able to produce that amount. No wonder they wanted to renege.

“Did they pay everything in the end?” Jiang Taixuan asked. With Li Yuanba stepping in, they probably forced them to comply.

“Pay what? They only paid a few tens of thousands of Yuan Coins. That was after we emptied their treasury and dismantled their guild for compensation.” Huang Ruoyan pouted.

“You’ve had quite a harvest, Miss Huang. Would you like to buy some more things? A few more Divine Blood Pills, perhaps? Maybe your Top Grade Bloodline will advance to Divine Level.” Jiang Taixuan’s eyes lit up as he tried to make a sale.

“Gao Qiu is already crippled. I don’t feel like cultivating for now.” Huang Ruoyan chuckled lightly and took out a jar of fine wine. “Field Master, let’s celebrate our victory in the duel.”

“Fine. Ahuai, prepare the meal.” Jiang Taixuan did not press the issue. After all, Huang Ruoyan wasn’t going anywhere for now. He took out a piece of Demon Beast meat for Ahuai to cook.

While the food was being prepared, Jiang Taixuan checked the mission. The mission was not yet complete; it would only be considered finished when Clear Moon Academy initiated a compromise. Looking at Lin Chen’s attitude, it seemed completing this mission would be quite difficult.

While they were celebrating here, Clear Moon Academy was anything but peaceful.

Lin Hong’s right arm hung limp, the bones shattered. It was also being corroded by Li Yuanba’s Gods and Demons’ Qi. It was completely useless now.

“Elder Lin.” Lin Chen spoke in a low voice. “Perhaps you should go to the Mercenary Guild for treatment first?”

Lin Hong’s aged face was full of gloom. He shook his head and let out a bitter laugh. “It’s ruined, completely ruined. That my Lin Family line would end with me here is truly a disgrace!”

Lin Chen remained silent. At this moment, Lin Hong’s heart burned with hatred, and Lin Chen had no desire to provoke him.

“I am going to request that the two Vice Chancellors leave seclusion to seek justice for me.” Lin Hong struggled to his feet, sadly touched his arm, and said with a vicious tone.

“Elder Lin, the two Vice Chancellors are in seclusion to breakthrough to Dao Fruit. Disturbing them rashly might make them unhappy.” Lin Chen quickly said.

“Unhappy? The things the few of us have done—if they are exposed, none of us will live. I am already like this. If they don’t take action, don’t blame me for revealing everything. How dare they be unhappy?” Lin Hong’s gaze was fierce, like a beast ready to devour someone.

Lin Chen’s expression changed, and then he sighed softly without another word.

Just as Lin Hong was leaving the room to find the Vice Chancellors in seclusion, two middle-aged men walked over. “Elder Lin, don’t be hasty. Let us handle your matter first.”

“Lin Chen greets the two Deans.” Lin Chen quickly stood up and bowed.

The newcomers were the two teaching Deans of Clear Moon Academy, both Foundation Building Stage Warriors.

“You? You aren’t much stronger than I am. I couldn’t even take one punch.” Lin Hong said coldly.

“Elder Lin, cultivation level doesn’t represent everything.” The two teaching Deans spoke softly. With a flip of their hands, a long sword appeared. “This is the academy’s treasure, the Profound Artifact ‘Red Flame.’ With it in hand, the two of us combined can even kill an expert at Foundation Building Peak.”

“A Dao Fruit Profound Artifact!” Lin Yuan and Lin Chen’s eyes widened suddenly, and then they were overjoyed. “Great, great! With this Profound Artifact, destroying the Divine Devil Dojo will be easy. That little thief Jiang Taixuan, I will have you sliced into a thousand pieces!”

The two teaching Deans nodded. “That brat insulted our Clear Moon Academy and does not know what’s good for him. We will go now to eliminate this scourge and destroy the Divine Devil Dojo.”

…

“What kind of wine is this? It’s so strong.” Jiang Taixuan drank one cup and immediately felt dizzy and clouded. He was drunk.

Ximen the Fatty was already lying down. Huang Ruoyan and Ahuai were also drunk.

“System, scan this.” Jiang Taixuan directly contacted the System. A wine that could make an Innate Realm cultivator drunk with one cup was definitely no ordinary product.

“Ding. Detected Dao Fruit Realm Profound Wine. Value: one Yuan Coin. Will you pledge it?”

The System’s voice came through. Jiang Taixuan sobered up a bit. Half a cup remained in his cup, yet it was worth one Yuan Coin? And in front of Huang Ruoyan, there was still more than half a jar left.

“Hmm, I have a high tolerance.” Jiang Taixuan decisively collected the remaining wine, but he did not pledge it to the System. He could give it to that alcoholic Wu Song later.

After collecting the wine, Jiang Taixuan began to devour the Demon Beast meat. It would be a waste not to eat such a large pot.

Hum!

A fierce wind blew, carrying a wave of heat. The surrounding temperature suddenly rose sharply. Sand and soil flew everywhere. Jiang Taixuan’s expression changed. He put down his chopsticks and was about to stand up when Li Yuanba appeared beside him. “We have enemies!”

“Can you handle them?” Jiang Taixuan’s face darkened.

“How does the Field Master want them to die?” Li Yuanba glanced at Jiang Taixuan and said arrogantly.

“Fight away from here. Cripple them first, then bring them to me.” Jiang Taixuan said calmly.

“Good.” Li Yuanba nodded. He stepped forward, covering over ten zhang in one stride. His twin hammers were in hand, and a mighty aura surged. The earth shook, and air currents swept in all directions.

“Scourge! You insulted our Clear Moon Academy. Surrender now…”

Boom!

Before the shout could finish, Li Yuanba swung one hammer. A giant hammer shadow smashed down. Its mighty force shook the void, and the Primeval Qi of heaven and earth went wild. “Insulting the Field Master? None of you will leave today!”

“You running dog of the Divine Devil Dojo! Today, Red Flame will cut you down!”

A blazing streak of light. One man’s long sword pierced through the air. Flaming clouds filled the sky, illuminating the night, and met the hammer shadow.

A violent shock erupted. The hammer shadow landed, the void seemed to explode. The violet-gold twin hammers trembled and struck the Red Flame sword.

Thud!

Crack!

A crisp snapping sound rang out. The Red Flame sword broke apart with a loud crash, splitting into two pieces that flew to the side.

“Red Flame…” The two Foundation Building Deans were dumbfounded. This was a Profound Artifact, a weapon only a Dao Fruit Martial Artist could use, capable of moving mountains, pouring seas, severing great rivers. And now, it was broken by a single hammer strike?

What in the world was happening? Was the academy’s treasure just destroyed like that?

Thump!

While the two Deans were stunned, Li Yuanba retracted his hammers and punched both men in their dantians. Gods and Demons Primordial Energy poured in. Their dantians shattered instantly, and all their cultivation vanished without a trace.

As for breaking the Dao Fruit Profound Artifact, Li Yuanba didn’t care at all. His hammers were Divine Artifacts!
