My power increases 100 Jin a Day-Chapter 418 - 191: Resolution!! (4)

Wu Qian’er responded in panic.

Jiang Shi frowned, not daring to easily believe it, and suddenly cast his newly fused [Sacred Heart Soul Annihilation Technique]—hypnosis!

However, Wu Qian’er’s strength was formidable, her soul power far exceeding others, making it impossible to hypnotize her while she was conscious.

Jiang Shi directly delivered a palm saber strike, knocking her unconscious.

Instantly, the hypnotic effect quickly began to take hold.

Yet, when Jiang Shi inquired about the specific reason, his gaze darkened, and his expression turned icy.

"You vile woman, trying to pit me!"

He was just about to crush her neck when he suddenly frowned, stopped, and instead tossed her body to the side, frowning deeply and falling into thought.

According to her memories, indeed there was a teleportation array in Dark Moon Canyon.

However, it was also a nest for a type of demon beast.

It was filled with [Corpse Rotting Demon Ants].

These demon ants were a terrifying type of demon beast, often appearing in swarms, with a single swarm numbering tens of thousands to millions.

More critically, these demon ants were immune to blades and bullets, and impervious to water and fire. When they swarmed, they could devour anything completely, and their teeth contained poison. The exceptional ones among them even grew wings, flying like lightning. Even someone at the Seventh or Eighth Heavens would find them troublesome.

The reason Lu Yan could disregard these corpse rotting demon ants was because, under the guidance of that transparent soul body, he concocted a potion.

This potion was the bane of the demon ants, causing them to wish to stay far away from him.

Only then could he penetrate the canyon and establish the teleportation array.

"That transparent soul body is indeed powerful. If not for the concern that it could act against me at any moment, I would have kept it by my side."

Jiang Shi mused to himself.

He had killed its disciple; even if he kept it, it might not wholeheartedly guide him. Besides, he had secrets, and whether he had this soul body or not wasn’t significantly helpful to him.

The teleportation array, however, was extremely useful to him.

Even a cunning rabbit has three burrows, so what about a person?

If he kept this teleportation array, if he someday faced an insurmountable problem, he could leave at any time.

For a moment, Jiang Shi was lost in thought, pacing on the spot.

Finally, he stopped again, deciding to keep the secret of this canyon tightly guarded.

Once his strength increased or he figured out a way to deal with the corpse rotting demon ants, he would return to the canyon to check the teleportation array.

Suddenly, Jiang Shi glanced again at the unconscious Wu Qian’er, quickly picked her up, and cast the hypnosis spell again, rapidly altering her memories, removing all knowledge of the canyon.

After doing all this, Jiang Shi rubbed his forehead, slightly recovered, and then swiftly left with Wu Qian’er’s body.

The reason he didn’t kill this woman was to hand her over to Yuan Fuhai.

He didn’t want to know or care what kind of family the Wu Family was, but by handing her over to Yuan Fuhai, Yuan Fuhai would handle everything for him.

Moreover, it was definitely a big achievement!

According to her earlier confession, besides being a member of the Wu Family, she was also connected to the people causing trouble at the casino last time.

She’s from a faction called the [Xiangqu Sect]!

The city was in uproar.

Shortly after Jiang Shi left, a large number of Jianghu people and Sea Whale Gang disciples appeared quickly, discussing intensely, with an uproar, and voices rumbling.

Everyone’s eyes were filled with deep shock, looking toward the chaotic ruins ahead.

The extent of the destruction was hard to imagine, wondering which master had left such a mark.

···

Sea Whale Gang Headquarters.

The three elders Jiang Shi encountered earlier had already quickly returned, reporting every detail of Jiang Shi’s previous performance to Yuan Fuhai.

"Gang Leader, this Jiang Shi hides so deeply, his strength is suspicious, and the force he erupted with tonight even chills us subordinates. This person’s background may not be so simple, beware of being caught in the machinations of other forces."

One elder’s face changed constantly, promptly speaking out.

"Yes, Gang Leader."

The other two promptly chimed in.

"Is that so? Hahahaha..."

Yuan Fuhai burst into laughter, his voice resounding, exceptionally hearty, echoing throughout the entire great hall, causing the hall to reverberate with a thundering sound.

The three elders were somewhat dumbfounded.

What is this situation?

"Gang Leader?"

One of them couldn’t help but speak again.

"Alright, your worries are unnecessary, I have long known about Jiang Shi’s strength."

Yuan Fuhai was exceptionally dominant, waving his hand, speaking calmly, "Dismiss now, don’t let the petty White River Gang take advantage and kill our people amidst the chaos."

The three elders immediately felt apprehensive, rolling in turmoil, nodded respectfully, and withdrew quickly.

The Gang Leader knew all along?

How could that be?

"Steward Jiang requests an audience!"

Suddenly, a shout came from outside.

"Let him in!"

Yuan Fuhai said calmly. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

The three elders had barely stepped outside when they saw Jiang Shi approaching from a distance, already wearing clean clothes and carrying an unconscious woman.

The three elders immediately showed embarrassed expressions, repeatedly smiling.

"Steward Jiang, you returned so quickly."

"Hmm, the three elders were quite fast as well."

Jiang Shi responded peacefully, nodding gently.

"No need for courtesy, Steward Jiang, please proceed inside."

One of the elders said with a fawning smile.

Jiang Shi nodded again, carrying Wu Qian’er as he walked toward the great hall.

Upon entering the great hall, he saw Yuan Fuhai sitting high on the throne, clad in a golden robe adorned with floral and dragon patterns, his face pale and bearded with explosively thick whiskers, exuding an air of grandeur and unparalleled dominance, his eyes deep and dark, like icy hooks, resembling an abyss.

As Jiang Shi arrived, Yuan Fuhai’s gaze immediately landed on him, nodding repeatedly.

"Good, very good indeed. Have you broken through to Holy Spirit level?"

He asked directly.

"Thanks to the Sect Leader’s fortune, I barely managed a breakthrough!"

Jiang Shi cupped his fists.

"It seems I was right about you after all."

Yuan Fuhai’s face lit up with a broad smile, his burning gaze suddenly resting on Wu Qian’er, "Who is this? What happened tonight?"

Jiang Shi immediately recounted everything that happened that night to Yuan Fuhai and then explained the woman’s connection with those involved last time.

"Xiangqu Sect?"

Yuan Fuhai’s eyes half-narrowed, a cold glow emerging as he snorted, "So it’s them, those damned rats, they’re behind the scenes causing trouble!"

He glanced at Jiang Shi, speaking coldly, "Xiangqu Sect is a heretical force under our [Thirty-Six Alliance]. They’re an obscure group, always developing secretly, preaching about the holy mother descending from the heavens, equality for all, saying that everyone who joins becomes brothers and kin—all nonsense. In truth, they’re just a cult. Decades ago, the [Thirty-Six Alliance] once destroyed Xiangqu Sect’s headquarters, leaving only a handful of rats escaping. Unexpectedly, they seem to be resurging."

"I see."

Jiang Shi nodded.

Lately, the Sea Whale Gang has been quite tumultuous.

No wonder Yuan Fuhai had been so infuriated before!
