Chapter 168: Chapter 28: I’m going to kill them all.This group of constables and hooligans were clearly not genuine; they had another, more real identity, which was greatly related to the Chongyi Building. And the assorted good items on their person were indeed not few, at least certainly not things that ordinary constables and hooligans could possess. Firstly, there was that piece of Spirit Stone. Compared to the two pieces on the Vice Envoy of Medicine, this Spirit Stone was slightly smaller, but if exchanged in the Tianyuan Realm, it would still account for two thousand Merit Points. Spirit Stones are also precious in the Embracing the Void Realm, but in terms of value, they were only about equivalent to a set of good talismans. The reason this constable carried a Spirit Stone was because he had a Magic Artifact on him. "Earth Vein Compass?" An Jing held in his hand a compass with a rather strange design, shaped like a swirl, and while still examining it, Subdue Evil provided the answer: "The Earth Vein Compasses of later generations have been simplified to this extent, huh? Although very sensitive, this doesn’t reveal the actual direction of the Earth Veins at all, does it?" According to Subdue Evil, this Earth Vein Compass had simplified all functions, solely for the purpose of finding a kind of ’Earth Vein anomaly.’ Aside from that, the Earth Vein directions, Yin and Yang atmospheres, and the rise and fall of Earth Qi that should have been clearly surveyed, were all omitted. This was a specialized, particular Magic Artifact for finding certain ’things’ or ’persons.’ If An Jing’s deductive abilities were weak, he wouldn’t have been able to guess what this compass was actually for. But after all, An Jing was an Innate Wisdom Bearer who, for some reason, had many storytelling experiences in his mind, and with his wealth of experience and normal thinking abilities, he quickly associated the compass with the intelligence he had obtained previously. "These people are probably also here for that Commandery Princess with the Mysterious Pupil Golden Eye," An Jing shook his head, "And they are clearly not on the same side as Da Chen, at least not with that faction controlling the government!" It could either be an external power or an internal struggle within Da Chen, or even possibly an internal power within Da Chen using external forces to fight! In any case, it was highly probable that the Chongyi Building folks were also targeting that unknown Commandery Princess. As for why there was an obsession with the Earth Veins, it was likely related to that Royal Lady... Does the very existence of the Royal Lady cause Earth Vein anomalies? An Jing couldn’t be bothered to think any further and simply threw the useless Artifact back—how could he know if it contained a tracking module? After all, he had the Sword Spirit Subdue Evil, which was much more powerful than any ordinary compass. Apart from Spirit Stones, these people also had various Herbal Pills on them, mostly used for replenishing Qi, as well as Qi Nourishing Pills, which could be used to assist in cultivation, and the quality was surprisingly decent, so An Jing took them. Even more, each person carried a Qi Boosting Pill! "This isn’t quite normal." After collecting everything, An Jing fell into deep thought: "These people are too wealthy; they’re definitely not backed by a small organization!" Although those Herbal Pills were not highly valuable individually, the quantity was too significant, and the processing technique was clearly from the same source. In other words, these people had a Dan Medicine organization behind them, providing a steady supply of high-quality Elixirs. And to use Spirit Stones of that purity to charge Magic Artifacts was also a bit odd. It is known that in the Embracing the Void Realm, although Spirit Stones are one of the most basic Spiritual Objects, their mining quantity is not high. Cold Jade and Warm Jade are essentially low-purity Spirit Stones with attributes, while the truly pure attribute-less Spirit Stones, sourced directly from Spirit Veins, are only mined by the likes of big nations such as Da Chen, the Demon Sect of Heaven’s Will, and the Five Sects of Dust Li. And only they have large mines deep in the mountains and the earth’s depths. Taking into account Spirit Stones and Elixirs, the items An Jing searched from these few people were worth more than four hundred Silver. But the most significant find was the small bamboo segment hidden in the belt of the constable led by An Jing. Within that bamboo segment, the thickness of a little finger, there was a vividly red, blood-like elixir. Blood Pill! "Blood Pill?!" The moment he saw the Blood Pill, An Jing paused momentarily but quickly regained composure. There was no anger and no disgust; he just narrowed his eyes calmly, "Hmm... it doesn’t seem quite the same as the Demon Sect’s Blood Pill." "Indeed, it is different." Subdue Evil was also discerning, "The Demon Sect’s Blood Pill involves the transformation of a fated weapon, selecting young men and women with the potential of Fate Pattern, whose Blood Qi is pure, and who also have Fate within them. But this one... The Blood Qi is mottled, mixed unclearly, and even has..." After a careful observation, It came to a conclusion, "There’s also a hint of the aura of death and decay." "These people, they don’t even spare the old and sick?" It was somewhat shocked, "There are actually those who make Blood Pills like this?" "It’s those missing people." An Jing exhaled calmly, "Although those traffickers have abducted many children, how easy it is to grab children in Kanming City? They had to use a mixture of homeless people and elderly living alone... It seems that these people are not the Demon Sect, but might as well be." "What kind of damned thing is behind this?" With a light kick, An Jing knocked the constable who carried the Blood Pill’s head askew, twisting his neck one hundred and eighty degrees, killing him on the spot. Taking a life, he turned his head without a change in expression, looking towards Chongyi Building, "I thought this was just a minor matter, but now it seems I really can’t hold back. It’s time to kill a few beasts." "This man had to die, let the others go back and report the information; when the list is confirmed later, kill them all together." "As for now, I’ll go back first, sort out the information, and also determine the weapons I’ll need to replenish when I urgently have to return to the Tianyuan Realm." Once An Jing had firm plans, his strategies were incredibly calm and meticulous, "Knowing both the enemy and oneself, one can fight without danger in one hundred battles. I can’t miss a single Demon Disciple just because I’m in a hurry." "A prudent move," the Sword Spirit agreed. An Jing’s figure disappeared outside the dark room, leaving only a Lotus Seed Drone split off a main unit stopped at the door. Soon, when the people in the dark room woke up and realized all their possessions were gone and someone died next to them, they let out a piercing scream. The situation wasn’t much better for An Jing, who had just returned to the inn. Because when he got back, what An Jing saw was his room turned into a chaotic mess. The scene was as horrendous as if small children had ravaged one’s room for three days and nights during the New Year. All the trinkets, calligraphy, and various small items An Jing had purchased were thrown out and carelessly discarded on the side. An Jing was somewhat obsessive-compulsive, arranging items he liked in the way he preferred, even if those items were trash. This was evident from his time at Hanging Fate Manor when he trained all the Children of Calamity to be able to fold blankets neatly. He also had a trait: he was relatively lenient towards those who were about to die. So, when An Jing saw his room had obviously been violently broken into and searched through, he actually smiled. "Haha." An Jing said, "I’m going to kill them all."
