Chapter 807
Arrangements and Planning!
Trendy Life.
Jiang Ning slowly raised his arms, as if embracing the rivers and seas.
Behind me, it seemed as if the tide was rising, and the sound of the surging river waves was deafening.
Behind him, countless water droplets appeared out of thin air as they gathered.
Then it rises and gathers, transforming into a hazy sea of mist.
Chen Canghai, Chen Wang, and Jing Wuming retreated again and again, eventually leaving the area shrouded in the sea of fog.
Looking at the churning sea of fog ahead, the three of them narrowed their eyes again and again.
Just then.
The sea of mist churned and quickly solidified, transforming into a vast ocean in the blink of an eye. The ocean surged, revealing a gigantic wave ten feet high.
At this moment, it was as if an ocean on land had appeared on Chaoshengya.
Jiang Ning pushed with both arms, as if propelling a vast expanse of land.
Boom—
With a deafening roar, the giant wave surged forth, like a mountain collapsing and the sea overturning, carrying the power to sweep across the heavens and earth, crashing down into the void ahead.
Before the waves subsided, a strong wind swept across the heavens and earth, the void churned, and waves of air surged.
As the waves crashed down, the heavens and earth roared, and the void trembled.
The violent airflow exploded between heaven and earth, and the resulting wind pressure caused the forests below the cliff to bend and break, and the river surface to suddenly sink several feet.
next moment.
The commotion gradually subsided.
The sea of fog slowly dissipated, revealing Jiang Ning's figure standing on the cliff.
In the distance, under the sunlight, a rainbow arches across the sky.
"Congratulations, Lord Marquis!" Chen Canghai stepped forward and offered his congratulations with a complex expression.
From this one move alone, he could tell that Jiang Ning had mastered the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Technique to perfection.
It took him decades to get to this point.
Now, for Jiang Ning, it's just a matter of a day's work.
At that moment, he realized just how vast the gap was between him and Jiang Ning.
He had only seen descriptions of such innate talent and comprehension in myths and legends.
Jiang Ning turned around and looked at Chen Canghai.
"The one-day deadline has passed. How is the evacuation of Chaosheng Pavilion progressing?"
Chen Canghai composed himself and said solemnly, "Reporting to the Marquis, all the disciples of the pavilion have gone down the mountain, without taking away a single flower, a single blade of grass, or a single tree. All valuables, books, elixirs, and spiritual materials are sealed in the pavilion."
Jiang Ning nodded, then looked at Jing Wuming.
"The disciples of the Duxian Sect who have been incorporated should have already arrived at the military camp. Go down the mountain and call them up. Seal off important locations, and at the same time, have Liu Teng lead his troops up the mountain to take over Chaosheng Pavilion."
"Throughout the process, anyone who breaks the rules will be taken down immediately, without regard for anyone's feelings. If you encounter any problems that you can't solve, then come to me!"
Upon hearing these words, Jing Wuming bowed respectfully.
"Your Excellency can rest assured, I will certainly not let you down in these matters!"
After saying this, he turned and walked down the mountain.
Chen Wang also stepped forward at this moment.
"My lord, this is a rough list that I compiled overnight. Please take a look."
Jiang Ning nodded slightly and accepted the list handed to him by Chen Wang.
His gaze swept over the area, and he nodded with a sense of satisfaction.
The resources he consumed last night were only a portion of what Chaosheng Pavilion had accumulated over the past few hundred years.
This means that he still has plenty of resources to consume in his future cultivation.
He also discovered that the Black Dragon Devouring Whale Technique was a cultivation method that required extremely high resources.
Without the supply of resources, the practice of this technique would be almost impossible to make any progress.
But having resources makes a difference.
Whether it's rare minerals or natural treasures, they all contain energy, which he can absorb and digest, turning them into his own resources.
Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Technique.
The essence of this technique lies in the phrase "swallowing a whale."
Internally, it allows him to devour and refine substances, whether they are rare ores, natural treasures, or even animal bones.
Unlike ordinary people, who can only rely on rare and precious materials and elixirs to aid their cultivation.
Externally, the power of the phrase "swallowing whales" can only be truly revealed at the level of perfection.
Reaching perfection, one comprehends the true meaning of swallowing a whale.
Its body transformed into a vortex, devouring heaven and earth.
Once he understands this truth, most non-substantial attack methods will be absorbed by him and used for his own purposes.
"Have Jing Wuming cooperate with you to load all the books and resources onto carts and send them to my residence. As for the gold and silver, leave a portion for Liu Teng."
"How much should we keep?" Chen Wang asked.
"Make your own decision!" Jiang Ning said calmly.
After leaving those words, Jiang Ning headed down the mountain.
Chen Wang and Chen Canghai immediately followed.
The three of them, one in front and two behind, descended the stone steps.
As you descend the mountain, passing through the well-arranged buildings, the once grand Chaosheng Pavilion is now deserted and utterly silent.
However, the buildings were well preserved without any damage, indicating that the departure of the Chaosheng Pavilion disciples was orderly.
"How are you feeling?" Jiang Ning asked casually as they walked through the building.
"Thank you, Lord Marquis, for giving Chaosheng Pavilion a way out!" Chen Canghai's voice was somewhat hoarse.
"Are you somewhat resentful?" Jiang Ning said calmly.
"I wouldn't dare!" Chen Canghai said.
Jiang Ning smiled and didn't say anything more.
He didn't need Chen Canghai to be completely convinced, and he knew it was impossible to achieve that.
All he needed was for Chen Canghai to be of use to him temporarily, and for him to be a smart man.
The city of Guangning is very large, and he didn't want to do everything himself, as that would take too much time.
Chen Canghai is strong enough, although he is only a second-grade grandmaster now.
But he had fallen from the first-grade unity realm.
His strength has declined, but he still possesses the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Technique, which he has mastered.
Even three or five ordinary grandmasters are no match for him.
The more he mastered the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Technique, the more he realized that it was an extremely complex skill.
Even the most advanced skills have varying levels of proficiency.
For example, the Vajra Indestructible Body is classified as a top-tier skill in the panel.
However, based on his understanding and Lin Qingyi's previous descriptions...
The Vajra Indestructible Body is the sect's most treasured martial art, the most treasured martial art of the Vajra Temple.
The Vajra Temple was originally one of the top sects in the world.
The temple possesses more than one martial arts technique that surpasses even the highest levels of skill.
The fact that the Vajra Indestructible Body can be called the "Supreme Protector of the Sect" is certainly extraordinary and not simple.
Based on his recent personal experience, he could sense the extraordinary nature of the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Technique.
Even if it is not as indestructible as the Vajra Body, it is still no ordinary martial art.
A mastery of this level of martial arts is enough to enable a martial artist to unleash combat power beyond their own.
Not to mention, Chen Canghai was a first-grade martial artist who had fallen from the Unity Realm.
His divine power remains, allowing him to unleash the full power of the Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Technique.
Even if his physical condition deteriorates, and he is old and frail with declining blood and energy, he can still be regarded as an ordinary first-rank martial artist.
With this powerful figure in charge, Guangning Prefecture can now be basically swept aside.
There's no need for him to personally intervene, unlike the recent upheaval at Chaosheng Pavilion.
This gives him more time to improve his own abilities in order to cope with future crises and changes.
After a while.
The group entered the room.
There were nine iron boxes in front of them.
Chen Wang stepped forward and opened all the iron boxes.
Five large boxes were filled with ores, rare treasures, elixirs, and gold and silver.
"My lord, this is what I prepared last night."
Looking at the open iron box in front of him, Jiang Ning nodded in satisfaction.
Then, he raised his hand and swept it across.
With a flash of golden light, he pocketed the iron boxes one by one, until only two iron boxes containing silver remained.
"Leave the remaining two chests of silver here as a reward," Jiang Ning said. "Yes, Lord Marquis!" Chen Wang nodded, his attitude respectful: "I will give these two chests of silver to Lord Liu Teng."
"Give it to Jing Wuming," Jiang Ning said.
"Yes, Lord Marquis!" Chen Wang replied.
The three then left the building and headed down the mountain.
at the foot of the mountain.
The ground trembled from a distance.
The group saw dust rise suddenly and a crowd surge in.
Even though Liu Teng only brought eight hundred elite soldiers, when they were gathered together, they were still incredibly powerful and the crowd was overwhelming.
"Greetings, Lord Marquis!" Liu Teng saw Jiang Ning, sped over, and bowed to Jiang Ning.
At this moment, he was completely convinced.
He had witnessed the strength of Chaosheng Pavilion firsthand; with a first-rank expert in charge, it was a force that surpassed even the Transcendent Immortal Sect.
In a single day, Chaosheng Pavilion bowed its head, and all its members withdrew.
Compared to what one sees with one's own eyes, rumors are insufficient to express the power of Jiangning.
"Greetings, Lord Marquis!" Jing Wuming also bowed to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning nodded.
"Commander Liu, Chaosheng Pavilion is now in your hands!"
Liu Teng cupped his hands in a fist salute to Jiang Ning and said, "Please rest assured, Lord Marquis. Brother Jing has just told me your intentions, and I will certainly not make any mistakes."
"Then I'll have to trouble Garrison Commander Liu!" Jiang Ning said.
"No trouble at all!" Liu Teng said.
I thought about it for a while.
Jiang Ning raised his hand, and a golden light flashed.
Suddenly, an iron box appeared in front of them.
This is a box of silver that he just took away.
Then, he waved his hand, and an invisible force appeared, opening the iron box.
Under the sunlight, the silver ingots gleamed exceptionally bright.
"My lord, what is this?" Liu Teng looked at the box of silver that had been opened, his eyes filled with doubt.
Jiang Ning said, "This box of silver is to be distributed among the soldiers who accompanied us on this mission. Although Chaosheng Pavilion has been pacified, we still need everyone's concerted efforts to follow up."
In the sunlight, the silver ingots gleamed and reflected on Liu Teng's face.
He clasped his hands in a fist salute, his voice trembling with excitement: "On behalf of my brothers, I thank you for your generous reward, Lord Marquis! Rest assured, Lord Marquis, we will fight to the death to wipe out Guangning!"
Jiang Ning nodded slightly.
Then he looked at Chen Canghai: "You will be in charge of the subsequent inventory of Chaosheng Pavilion. You will be responsible for assisting Jing Wuming in the follow-up actions. If there are any changes, you can make your own decisions and do not need to report to me for everything."
Chen Canghai bowed and replied, "Your subordinate obeys."
Although he was once the powerful Black Dragon King Chen Canghai, he now showed none of his former arrogance.
Yesterday's battle, Jiang Ning's overwhelming power, made him realize that although Jiang Ning was young and cursed, his strength was above his own.
That miraculous ability to alternating between withering and flourishing filled him with even greater fear.
That was a method he still couldn't understand.
The profound mystery within it remains uncomprehensible even after experiencing it firsthand.
At the same time, witnessing Jiang Ning master his prized Black Dragon Swallowing Whale Technique in a single day, and seeing the enlightenment he displayed in the move he made yesterday, completely convinced him.
Such exceptional talent and comprehension were beyond his comprehension.
"Jing Wuming," Jiang Ning called out again.
"My lord." Jing Wuming, dressed in black, stepped forward with a respectful expression.
"You shall lead the surrendered soldiers of the Immortal Crossing Gate and three hundred prefectural soldiers westward immediately to wipe out the 'Red Sand Gang' and 'Iron Bone Gate'. If you encounter resistance, kill them without mercy. If they are willing to surrender, gather them and hand them over to Liu Zhenshou for a thorough investigation of their past crimes. Special measures may be taken; you may kill the innocent, but you must not let the guilty go free."
"I understand!" Jing Wuming cupped his hands, his expression calm.
Even though he understood the uproar and bloodshed that Jiang Ning's words would cause, he remained completely unmoved.
When he first entered this world, he rose from an unknown figure to the title of "Drunken Yama".
Countless lives and blood have been spilled on his hands.
He was no longer a virtuous person.
Human life held no sway over him.
Otherwise, how could he be called Yama by the people of the world?
“Lord Liu.” Jiang Ning then looked at Liu Teng.
"Your humble servant is here!" Liu Teng clasped his hands in a respectful gesture.
"I'll need your cooperation even more from now on!" Jiang Ning said.
"Rest assured, Your Excellency, I will cooperate fully!" Liu Teng said firmly.
“Then Lord Liu can use this box of silver as a reward. I have also left two boxes of silver in Chaosheng Pavilion, which Lord Liu can also handle himself,” Jiang Ning said.
Upon hearing these words, Liu Teng's face became excited, and his voice rose.
"Thank you, Lord Marquis!"
Jiang Ning nodded.
After making the arrangements, he said no more and walked away into the distance.
As for Chen Canghai and Jing Wuming, they did not come along because they both had their own plans.
As he walked further and further away, cheers of "Thank you, Lord Marquis!" suddenly came from behind him.
The cheers grew louder and louder, eventually merging into a deafening roar.
Hearing the cheers coming from afar behind him, Jiang Ning smiled faintly.
He closed the panel in front of him and then moved.
In an instant.
He flew like a streak of light.
Neither trees nor rocks could stop him in the slightest.
In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.
Guangning Prefecture appeared before him.
next moment.
The tall and thick city wall appeared before him, magnifying in his pupils, and the distance between him and the city wall grew closer and closer.
It was only for a fleeting moment.
He crashed heavily into the city wall.
It was silent and unnoticed, as if it had been directly integrated into the city wall.
There was no collision with the city wall.
A moment later, he appeared in front of his mansion.
The mansion's gates were tightly shut.
Through the high walls and courtyards, the faint cries of cranes could be heard.
Upon hearing the familiar voice, he slowly smiled.
He was about to go up and knock on the door.
He suddenly stopped and turned around to look behind him.
"The three of them did arrive, which is quite timely!"
Jiang Ning nodded and looked towards the end of the street in the distance.
next moment.
Three familiar figures appeared in his line of sight.
The visitors were three people who had traveled a long way from Dongling City.
Xie Xiaojiu, Feng Jiuge, Zhou Xing.
Xie Xiaojiu was dressed in a black outfit, with sharp, sword-like features.
Feng Jiuge was dressed in red, resembling flames and a phoenix.
Zhou Xing, on the other hand, was dressed in a dark blue long gown.
Upon seeing Jiang Ning appear, the three of them leaped forward.
In just a few breaths, the three of them arrived before the Marquis.
"Greetings, Lord Marquis!"
"Greetings, Lord Marquis!"
"Greetings, Lord Marquis!"
The three bowed to Jiang Ning, while Zhou Xing was slightly excited.
He knew that Jiang Ning must need the three of them because he had transferred them from Dongling City.
The fact that he is needed means that he still has value to Jiangning.
Having value is what excites him most. (End of Chapter)
