The eunuch in the cold palace: You get the Nine Yang Divine Skill right from the start!

After several dozen moves.

Cao Lingkun seized an opening, dodged to the side, took several steps back to create distance, and then suddenly raised his palm.

Countless silver lights flew out from his sleeves.

Shen Mo's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly used the Dragon Shadow Step to dodge most of the silver needles, but two still stuck in his shoulder and arm.

"fall!"

Cao Lingkun proudly uttered a single word. His needle was coated with poison, which, while not fatal, was a hundred times more potent than sleeping potion. Even a true Blood Core Realm cultivator wouldn't last a single breath after being struck by the needle.

The Jiang family members all breathed a sigh of relief. Although the victory was not honorable, at least they had subdued this plague god.

"Hidden weapons? I have those too!"

Shen Mo thought to himself, and quietly reached his hand to his waist to take out the old ghost's weapon.

Swish!

A whooshing sound rang out; the black whip was faster than the rapidly shooting arrows.

Cao Lingkun's vision blurred, and he knew something was wrong. He was already half a step too late to react.

The next moment, his arms were bound by a whip and he was pulled toward Shen Mo.

"Heavenly Boy's Skill!"

Cao Lingkun roared angrily, and the aura emanating from his body reached an unprecedented level.

Shen Mo's left arm had already been gathering strength, and all his blood and energy were concentrated in his two fingers.

boom--!

The Mighty Vajra Finger strikes like a spear piercing a shield, striking the qi barrier with all its might.

At this moment, Shen Mo suddenly realized that the Vajra King Technique was in full operation, and a faint Vajra phantom appeared behind him.

The Vajra Finger, which had been stagnating on the protective energy, suddenly pierced through the protective energy as if divinely aided.

"puff--"

With his protective aura broken, Cao Lingkun felt his blood and qi surge, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.

He pointed a finger at Shen Mo and said, "Why is the poison ineffective against you? Why have you cultivated so many extraordinary skills?"

Cao Lingkun has lost!

The dignified head of the Eastern Depot, a renowned Blood Core Realm expert who struck fear into the hearts of countless people, was defeated by a rising star.

The key is that Shen Mo is only at the Blood Refining Realm! Once he reaches the Blood Core Realm, how many people in this vast world can defeat him?

"The loser has no right to ask questions."

Shen Mo remained calm as he took out the pill and swallowed it. His previously weak qi and blood were gradually recovering.

Unlike Xue Futu, who was at his last gasp, this was his first time fighting a Blood Core Realm expert, and he had almost exhausted all his strength. If his last finger strike hadn't broken through Cao Lingkun's Qi barrier, he would have lost.

What was particularly surprising was that, through this desperate battle, it was discovered that the Vajra King Technique could be used in conjunction with the Vajra Finger Technique, like a fast horse being spurred on.

Both of them originated from Buddhism, yet they still have such a bond.

"You're right, please go ahead!"

Cao Lingkun left dejectedly, forced to admit defeat despite his reluctance.

He could no longer stop Shen Mo.

Shen Mo gestured for Cao Lingkun to leave, while simultaneously stalling for time to allow the medicinal effects of the pill to take hold.

He couldn't kill Cao Lingkun, just as Cao Lingkun didn't dare to kill him.

The Director of the Eastern Depot was a high-ranking official of the second rank!

Furthermore, although the two had grudges, they were not mortal enemies. The revenge for Cao Lingkun's help to the Crown Prince last time was almost complete.

Cao Lingkun's injuries will take at least a month to heal.

"Alright, it's time for us to settle accounts."

Shen Mo turned his head, his gaze sweeping over the Jiang family members, and said, "If there are any more experts, feel free to send them out."

Jiang Wenwu's face was ashen.

The Jiang family does indeed have two Blood Core Realm retainers, but those two are usually escorting the Jiang family's caravans, protecting them from bandits, pirates, and other threats. There is no third Blood Core Realm retainer.

Besides, even Cao Lingkun was defeated, so how could those two be a match for him?

"Steward Shen!"

Jiang Wenwu knelt down with a thud. As soon as the head of the family knelt, all the members of the Jiang family, including Jiang Xiaoxiao, followed suit.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Please spare Hou'er, spare my Jiang family! What the Liu family can give, our Jiang family can give as well, and even more! I'm willing to offer 30% of the shares!"

It's not a specific compensation in gold or silver, but a 30% share of the company!

This represents 30% of all the Jiang family's businesses. If you really think about it, it's much more than the 30% stake in the Liu family's Drunken Beauty that Shen Mo holds.

However, that's not how it works.

In Shen Mo's mental ledger, besides real money, there were also favors.

Whether it was Abbess Duanchen or Liu Ruyan, the Jiang family had already been thoroughly offended, and in his heart there was no chance of turning things around.

"Officer Jiang, what is your punishment for bribing a government official?"

Shen Mo's gaze fell on Jiang Xiaoxiao, who was kneeling.

Jiang Xiaoxiao trembled. The key issue wasn't the law, but rather that these words implied Shen Mo was going to handle things strictly by official procedures.

The hearts of everyone in the Jiang family sank to rock bottom.

Sudden.

The sound of countless horses' hooves echoed outside the mansion.

Cao Lingkun led countless experts from the Eastern Depot to the scene, including many Blood Core Realm experts and countless Blood Moving Realm experts.

Jiang Wenwu was so moved he almost cried. He stood up and said, "Eunuch Cao, we are all counting on you to uphold justice!"

"Cao Lingkun, do you really intend to bully others by abusing your power?"

Shen Mo felt very aggrieved. His energy and blood had recovered to less than 20% of their original levels. Even in his prime, it would be difficult for him to deal with so many skilled members of the Eastern Depot.

That old dog Cao Lingkun couldn't handle it alone, so he called for reinforcements.

"Eunuch Shen has misunderstood!"

Cao Lingkun cupped his hands and gave Shen Mo a humble smile, then turned his head and his face turned cold: "Brothers, listen to my order, take all the members of the Jiang family away, do not let a single one escape."

"What? Eunuch Cao, are you joking?"

Jiang Wenwu was sweating profusely with anxiety. He desperately hoped that this was just a joke played by Cao Lingkun.

Cao Lingkun's face was ashen, and he said in a shrill voice, "Would I joke with you? Take them all away!"

Immediately, countless skilled agents from the Eastern Depot rushed forward.

Jiang Wenwu, Jiang Hou, Jiang Xiaoxiao, and the others were all taken to the death row in shackles.

Shen Mo was equally shocked.

This plot doesn't seem right, does it?

He didn't believe that the fight just now had subdued Cao Lingkun, which was why he chose to abandon the darkness and join the light.

Shen Mo walked to Cao Lingkun's side and lowered his voice, "Eunuch Cao, what do you mean by this?"

"This is His Majesty's decree; I don't know the specifics."

Cao Lingkun cast a cryptic glance at him.

He could tell that Shen Mo was unaware of the situation beforehand, but Shen Mo had just come to cause trouble for the Jiang family when the Emperor's decree came down. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that something fishy was going on.

"What does Your Majesty mean?"

Shen Mo couldn't understand why the emperor had to take action this time.

If last time it was due to the favors of the Empress, the Eldest Princess, and the Liu family, then what is the reason this time?

The emperor's heart is unfathomable!

Shen Mo shook his head, deciding to ask in detail after returning to the palace, and then rode his beloved little yellow horse back to the palace.

As soon as he left, the eunuchs from the Eastern Depot, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately closed the gate and sealed it, standing on either side like door gods to prevent anyone from getting close.

"The Jiang family's price gouging of grain has driven countless families to ruin and death!"

"Yes, I think the entire Jiang family home is dirty from top to bottom and inside to outside. The only clean thing is the pair of stone lions at the entrance."

"The Jiang family has been taken away by the Eastern Depot; their fate is uncertain. This is retribution!"

Neighbors gathered in front of the house, pointing and commenting on the Jiang residence.

Seeing him rising from a tall building, seeing his banquet guests, seeing his building collapsed.
