Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Is everything resolved?"

The man in the yellow robe turned his head and glanced sideways, his tone somber.

The next moment, a man in black stepped forward, then cupped his hands in greeting, "Reporting to the Chief, most of the Kong family's experts are now dead, but this subordinate feels..."

The man in black hesitated, then his gaze unconsciously drifted to the man in the yellow robe directly in front of him.

"What are you trying to say?"

Jiang Qingtian remained expressionless, merely giving the other party a cold glance.

"Uh, I just felt that the people from the Jiangnan Escort Agency couldn't be trusted...! That's why I dared to speak out. I hope the chief will forgive me...!"

Kneeling on one knee again, the man in black looked somewhat fearful, then spoke softly and respectfully.

After all, Jiang Qingtian in front of him was not only the leader of Qingtian Village, but also had reached the first level of the Spirit Soul Realm in terms of Yuan Power cultivation. He was not someone that a small fry like him could provoke.

"Heh, your considerations aren't unreasonable, but..."

Faced with the man in black's suggestion, Jiang Qingtian merely raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a meaningful sneer, "After all, the Kong family is one of the top eighth-rank aristocratic families in Zhiyang City, Shanggu County. Without the help of the Jiangnan Escort Agency, it wouldn't be so easy for our Qingtian Village to quietly wipe out the Kong family on its own..."

"Regardless of these guys' motives, the Kong family's wealth and treasures are now all in our Qingtian Village's hands, and that's enough!"

Jiang Qingtian's eyes revealed greed. It was clear that his collaboration with the Jiangnan Escort Agency to exterminate the Kong family was not simply for revenge, but for the wealth and treasures the latter had accumulated over the years.

After all, the Kong family was an eighth-rank aristocratic family in Zhiyang City, Shanggu County, and had been rooted in the area for many years. Their family foundation and wealth were naturally considerable. Now that the Kong family had been wiped out, Qingtian Village would naturally make a fortune!

"The Boss is brilliant!"

Upon hearing Jiang Qingtian's words, the man in black and the bandits from Qingtian Village behind him all bowed and knelt down to show their respect for his wisdom and prowess.

"Big brother!"

At this moment, several figures suddenly flashed by not far away. The leader of them had a thin face and a scar on his right eye. He was none other than Qin Ming, the second leader of Qingtian Village, who had been lucky enough to escape with his life from Lu Feng.

"Brother, Zhao Yihu, the chief镖头 (bodyguard) of the Jiangnan Escort Agency, and his men have arrived at Burial Valley. It seems they've captured some Kong family warriors and guards alive, but didn't kill them. Should we follow them?"

Qin Ming's expression was serious, and his tone was wary. He seemed quite suspicious of the people from the Jiangnan Escort Agency and did not regard them as true allies.

After all, the Jiangnan Escort Agency came from the capital of Dongyun Kingdom, while their Qingtian Village was just a bandit stronghold entrenched in the Huangfeng Desert. If it weren't for the current need to join forces to wipe out the Kong family, the two forces would never have had any contact, let alone trade.

"Corpse Valley?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qingtian narrowed his eyes slightly, a look of surprise on his face. "What exactly is this guy surnamed Zhao up to..."

The Valley of Corpses is located a thousand miles away from Zhiyang City. It is said that not only are there many demonic beasts and poisonous insects dwelling in this valley, but there are also ghosts and monsters. It is extremely dangerous. Even martial artists at the Opening Meridian Realm dare not set foot in it. As for ordinary people who unfortunately enter this valley, most of them will die. Therefore, this valley is also known as the Valley of Corpses.

"Chief Jiang".

At this moment, a short, ugly young man in brocade robes slowly walked out from behind Qin Ming. He then bowed slightly to Jiang Qingtian in front of him, his face cold and expressionless.

If any members of the Kong family were still alive at this moment, they would be utterly astonished.

Because the young man in brocade robes before them was none other than Kong Dingnan, the son of Kong Youde, the current head of the Kong family, and the second younger brother of Kong Yi.

"Kong Dingnan, you did a good job this time. When we return to the stronghold, I will definitely reward you handsomely!"

Seeing Kong Dingnan suddenly step forward, Jiang Qingtian grinned, the fierce glint in his eyes vanishing and replaced by a look of satisfied appreciation.

Although the plan to ambush the Kong family's caravan failed due to the other party's wrong intelligence, and his third brother Fang Baizhou was also killed on the spot, Qingtian Village's ability to destroy the Kong family today is inseparable from the secret assistance of Kong Dingnan, the traitor.

Therefore, Jiang Qingtian did not dislike Kong Dingnan, this traitor, but rather admired him quite a bit.

"I dare not accept such praise. This is merely what I should do. I hope that Chief Jiang will keep his promise to me and allow me to inherit the position of the third leader of Qingtian Village."

Faced with Jiang Qingtian's praise, Kong Dingnan remained expressionless, merely cupping his hands in a slight gesture, as if the deaths of the Kong family warriors present, or even the complete annihilation of the Kong family, had nothing to do with him, a direct descendant of the Kong family.

"Brother, it's getting late. We should leave now to avoid any unforeseen circumstances..."

At this moment, Qin Ming whispered in his ear, seemingly not wanting to linger here any longer.

After all, the Kong family was once a powerful clan in Zhiyang City. Now that the entire Kong family has been wiped out, it is inevitable that some other forces outside will notice them. If these people stay here for too long, it is obviously not a good thing.

"Let's go! To the Valley of Corpses. I want to see what Zhao Yihu and his gang are up to..."

In response to Qin Ming's reminder, Jiang Qingtian nodded slightly, then leaped into the air and soared into the sky, flying towards the direction of the Burial Valley outside the city.

Seeing this, Qin Ming, Kong Dingnan, and the others did not slack off and immediately leaped away, following closely behind.

However, their overall strength was relatively weak, and they had not reached the Spirit Soul Realm level. Therefore, they could not fly through the air like Jiang Qingtian and could only follow far behind him.

As for the entire Kong family mansion and the scattered corpses of Kong family warriors, they were also buried in a sea of ​​fire until they were reduced to ashes.

...

On the other side, in the Yuanfeng Realm of the Eastern Xuan Region, at the Falling Star Academy

"Brother Lu, are you really going to accept this commission?"

Seeing Lu Feng's resolute expression, Wu Yunran also looked tense, her words filled with worry.

Because he had a very good impression of Lu Feng, and since the recruitment assessment, he had almost regarded Lu Feng as one of his few friends, so he naturally did not want the other party to die in vain.

"I appreciate Brother Wu's kindness, but I absolutely must accept this request from the young master of the Kong family."

Faced with Wu Yunran's reminder, Lu Feng merely smiled and shook his head, then added, "Besides, I've always been lucky with my life; I'm not that easy to die...!"

"Brother Wu, I must take my leave now."

After saying that, Lu Feng turned and left the academy hall, clearly having made up his mind. As for Wu Yunran, he stood there dumbfounded, seemingly not expecting the former to be so courageous, willing to risk his life for that little bit of mission reward!

...

At the summit of Lingtai Peak in the vast mountains, inside the Gathering Spirit Pavilion

"Young man, do you want to use the teleportation array?"

Looking at Lu Feng, who was rushing around, an elderly man with white hair pushed up his glasses with a slightly surprised expression, then slowly put down the erotic picture in his hand. At this moment, a hint of doubt appeared on his aged face.

After all, Lingtai Peak is not only rich in spiritual energy, but also has many secret chambers for cultivating and secluded in the Gathering Spirit Pavilion at the top of the mountain. So students usually come here to rent the secret chambers for cultivation. As for people like Lu Feng who come for the teleportation array, they are not very common.

"Yes, thank you for your trouble, Steward."

Lu Feng cupped his hands in a respectful bow to the white-haired old man, then grinned and pulled out a variety of erotic paintings he had prepared beforehand, handing them to the man. "By the way, I've heard that you, Steward, have always enjoyed admiring beautiful paintings. This is just a small token of my appreciation, please accept it!"

Before heading to Lingtai Peak, Lu Feng had already inquired about the white-haired old man's preferences. Although the old man was a steward guarding the Gathering Spirit Pavilion, he was usually a seasoned lecher, so Lu Feng wasn't worried at all that the old man wouldn't be interested.

As for using the teleportation array to return to Dongyun Kingdom, it's naturally to save time.

After all, with Lu Feng's current cultivation level, if he were to fly, it would take him at least several months to get back to Dongyun Kingdom. By then, let alone fulfilling the young master Kong's request, it would probably be too late!

"Huh? I didn't expect you to have such a keen eye, young man! Hahaha! You truly know me inside and out... no, no, you're truly my kindred spirit, despite our age difference!"

Upon seeing the pile of erotic pictures Lu Feng handed over, the white-haired old man's eyes widened, his pupils contracted sharply, and he immediately swept them all into his arms, his face filled with excitement, as if he had found some incredible treasure. "By the way, young brother, where are you headed?"

"You're too kind, Steward. I'm planning to travel to Dongyun Kingdom on this trip."

Lu Feng cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.

"Dongyun Kingdom? You mean Dongyun Kingdom, one of the four kingdoms of Lingnan?"

"Exactly."

Upon hearing this, the white-haired old man slowly put away the erotic picture in his hand, and then said, "This is not a difficult matter. The teleportation array in the Spirit Gathering Pavilion here is a genuine eighth-grade array. Its teleportation speed and range are far superior to those of the teleportation arrays of small countries and dynasties outside."

"Right now, let alone sending you back to Dongyun Kingdom, even crossing most of the Eastern Xuan Domain to send you directly to the Western Xuan Domain wouldn't be a problem, but..."

At this point, the white-haired old man changed the subject again, somewhat awkwardly saying, "Young brother, you are currently only a freshman in the North Academy, and you cannot use the teleportation array for free. You need to spend a certain amount of contribution points."

"As for the spirit stones needed to activate the teleportation array, you'll have to provide them yourself, young brother..."
