When I first entered high school, the system insisted that I was destined to be an emperor in my lat

Just then, a series of hurried and chaotic footsteps came from outside the hall.

"Mr. Jiang!"

The Gao brothers, Gao Qiang and Gao Sheng, rushed in, covered in blood.

Both men were wounded, clearly indicating that the mopping-up operation outside was not going to be easy.

They were worried and rushed to provide support as soon as they finished dealing with the enemies outside.

Then, the two of them froze at the doorway.

Several corpses lay in the pool of blood.

Long Feiyang, the young master of the Azure Dragon Society, died a tragic death!

Liu Shuang's neck was twisted at an odd angle.

The corpse in the very center had a bloody hole the size of a bowl in its chest, and its death was the most gruesome!

Dragon Soars.

died?

He died just like that?!

The two brothers exchanged a glance, both seeing a profound shock in each other's eyes.

That's a half-step fifth rank!

He's someone who's already halfway to becoming a Grandmaster!

Looking across the entire Linchuan City, there are very few people stronger than Long Teng!

From the moment they started to the moment they finished clearing the perimeter and arrived, it took no more than half an hour.

Mr. Jiang then killed Long Teng.

The two brothers looked at the young figure standing in the middle of the pool of blood, their Adam's apples bobbing, their eyes almost overflowing with respect.

"Mr. Jiang!"

Gao Qiang clasped his hands in a fist salute, his voice trembling slightly.

Jiang Feng nodded, his expression calm.

"How's it going outside?"

"Mr. Huijiang!"

Gao Qiang composed himself and reported in a deep voice, "The elite core members of the Azure Dragon Society have been basically killed, and the rest have been brought under control."

"Um."

Jiang Feng turned his head and said, "Pharaoh."

"exist."

"Keep a close eye on these twin sisters."

"clear."

The Pharaoh accepted the order.

"Gao Qiang, Gao Sheng, you two, come with me."

The three of them passed through the main hall and headed straight for the backyard.

Jiang Feng quickly found the gate behind a rockery, then took out the key he had taken from Long Teng's corpse and inserted it into the lock.

"Click".

The gate slowly opened.

next second!

The golden light was blinding!

Gao Qiang and Gao Sheng both stopped breathing at the same time.

Behind the door is a basement of nearly 100 square meters.

At the entrance to the stone chamber were piles of gold.

Large gold bricks, each weighing its full weight, were casually stacked up as if they were free.

Interspersed among the gold bricks were boxes of jewelry and jade, including jadeite, agate, and pigeon blood rubies, piled up haphazardly like a heap of unwanted junk.

Even the usually composed and steady Gao Qiang couldn't help but swallow hard, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down: "How much... how much is this worth?"

Goldman Sachs' eyes lit up. He squatted down, picked up a gold brick, and weighed it in his hand: "Dude! A gram of gold costs over a thousand dollars right now! Look at this whole room, it's all solid gold bricks, it's worth by the ton!"

The Green Dragon Society has been entrenched in Linchuan City for decades, running underground casinos, loan sharking, protection fees... all within this room.

However, Jiang Feng only glanced at it briefly before looking away and continuing to walk inside.

money?

For him now, this thing is no longer of much significance.

In the world of martial arts, gold is never the true hard currency.

After passing through Jinshan, a bright and open view suddenly appeared before us.

Rows of ebony weapon racks were neatly arranged, their surfaces gleaming coldly, displaying hundreds of weapons, including swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks.

Even the worst ones are refined knives.

"nice one!"

Gao Qiang's eyes lit up. He quickly stepped forward, drew a battle sword, and twirled it. A clear, sharp sound rang out as it sliced ​​through the air. He was overjoyed. "Mr. Jiang! What our Qiangsheng Group needs most right now is a suitable weapon!"

"With this batch of weapons, the brothers' fighting strength will at least double!"

Jiang Feng nodded and continued deeper into the area.

Further inside is the elixir area.

The shelves were piled high with porcelain bottles, containing healing pills, qi-restoring powders, and qi-blood-tonifying medicines—the quantity was astonishing.

However, a quick glance at the condition reveals that they are all basic items.

Jiang Feng showed little interest and walked straight past.

The pills from Jishetang are far superior to these. Keep these for your men.

Finally, at the deepest part of the stone chamber, a solitary stone platform appeared before them, covered with a dust-proof brocade cloth.

Martial Arts Repository.

The river breeze lifted the brocade cloth.

A dozen or so martial arts manuals and over thirty martial arts booklets were neatly arranged.

In the very center, three jade slips, gleaming with a faint glow, lay quietly inside the brocade box.

Inheriting the Jade Slip!

Jiang Feng first flipped through those manuals, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly.

Their ranks are generally not high, with the highest being only a high-grade general, so they really have no value to him.

But Gao Qiang, who was standing nearby, leaned over and glanced at them a few times. His breathing became more and more rapid, and his face was full of excitement: "Mr. Jiang, you probably wouldn't look down on these..."

"But for the group, this is its foundation!"

"Techniques and martial arts skills have always been priceless and unavailable!"

"With these dozens of books, we can train a large number of martial artists. In less than three years, the strength of the Qiangsheng Group will far surpass that of the Azure Dragon Society!"

"I'll leave everything to you to manage."

Jiang Feng nodded and reached out to pick up the three jade slips.

Divine sense probed into the first one.

"Cloud-Splitting Spear", a low-grade royal-rank weapon.

The spear strikes like a dragon, its momentum capable of splitting the clouds; it emphasizes relentless advance and breaking through the surface with a single point.

The second item, "Thousand Machine Flying Knife Technique," is a mid-grade King-rank item.

Hidden weapon martial arts, when mastered to perfection, allow one to conceal a knife in their sleeve, throwing it without a trace, each strike aimed at the throat, making it impossible to defend against.

Jiang Feng raised an eyebrow slightly.

The art of concealed weapons is ruthless and underhanded; they can be used as a trump card for surprise attacks in crucial moments.

As soon as Jiang Feng's divine sense probed into the third jade slip, his pupils contracted slightly.

"Mysterious Gang Technique", a high-grade King-rank technique!

Protective martial arts techniques – only martial artists of the fourth rank or above can cultivate them. They can condense and compress the true energy in the body to forge a special armor of true energy on the body surface, making it impervious to swords and spears, water and fire, and providing amazing defense!

nice one!

Jiang Feng's fingers tightened slightly as he held the jade slip.

He adopts a fierce and domineering offensive approach, strong in attack but weak in defense.

If one were to master this "Mysterious Gang Technique," their defensive capabilities would undoubtedly increase several times over!

He put all three jade slips into his pocket.

Jiang Feng instructed Gao Qiang to count and catalog the remaining items one by one. He then took another look around the treasure vault to make sure nothing was missing before preparing to leave.

"Mr. Jiang, wait a moment."

Gao Qiang stood in front of a stone wall in the treasure vault, tapped the wall with his finger, and listened to the echo.

"The bricks here are the wrong color; they're half a shade darker than the surrounding ones, and they sound hollow."

"There's a hidden compartment at the back!"

He was, after all, a gang leader, and had extensive experience in hiding treasures.

Jiang Feng's eyes flickered, and he walked over.

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed true.

The color of that section of wall bricks was subtly different from the surrounding ones; if Gao Qiang hadn't been so meticulous, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.

Hidden so well...

Jiang Feng took half a step back, clenched his fist, and threw a punch!

"Boom!"

The stone wall shattered with a crash, sending bricks and stones flying, revealing a hidden compartment about half a person's height to everyone.

In the hidden compartment, a silver-gray metal box lay quietly, its surface shimmering with a matte finish, clearly not an ordinary item.

"box?"

Goldman Sachs leaned closer curiously, "How do you open one of these?"

Without a word, Jiang Feng drew his Zixiao Sword, its light flashing like a bolt of lightning.

"Sizzle!"

The box was as easy to cut as tofu under the Purple Cloud Sword, and was neatly cleaved in two.

The box was lined with black velvet, and in the center of the velvet lay a bead the size of a thumb.

The beads have a warm, turquoise color throughout, and it looks as if water ripples are flowing inside.

Jiang Feng reached out and took the bead into his palm.

In that very instant.

【Ding! 】

The system notification suddenly exploded in my mind!

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained the inheritance—the Cloud Peak Jade Bead!]

[Item Description: Lost Secret Realm - Divine Heaven Sect Inheritance Jade Beads. When the Divine Heaven Sect was destroyed, the sect sealed the inheritance of its four peaks into four jade beads, which were scattered throughout the world. Collect all the beads, and the holder can enter the main peak of the secret realm to obtain the core inheritance of the Divine Heaven Sect!]

Jiang Feng's heart skipped a beat!

Divine Heaven Sect!

Lost Realm!

He almost immediately remembered the nameless key he had long possessed in his possession!

That key and this jade bead come from the same source!

It turned out to be the case.

It turns out that behind that key lies the inheritance of an entire sect!

Jiang Feng took a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, and continued watching.

[Note: The Peak Master's Jade Bead is a Spirit Treasure-level item (corresponding to a Rank 6 or higher treasure). Holding it during cultivation will yield twice the results with half the effort; its effect on nourishing and enhancing spiritual power is particularly significant.]

Lingbao!

Treasures of grade six or higher!

Jiang Feng's palm, holding the jade bead, felt slightly warm.

His biggest weakness right now is his mental strength.

This jade bead is like a pillow delivered just when you're sleepy!

"Mr. Jiang?"

Seeing Jiang Feng standing there, holding a bead, Gao Qiang cautiously asked, "This bead... is it a treasure?"

Jiang Feng snapped out of his daze and carefully put the jade bead into his bosom.

"It's a treasure."

"It's worth ten thousand times more than all the gold in this room combined."

After saying that, he turned and walked out of the treasure vault.

Gold, weapons, elixirs, and martial arts techniques all belong to the Qiangsheng Group.

The "Mysterious Gang Technique" filled the gap in his defense.

And this jade bead!

Jiang Feng looked up at the thick, impenetrable night, his eyes unfathomable.

Three-City League, Secret Realm Hunting, Supreme Bone Awakening.

The Nameless Key, the Divine Heaven Sect, the Four Peaks' Legacy.

There's more to come for him!
