Witch Wind

Chapter 138 A Heavy Blow (Part )
The clouds are suspended high in the sky.

Cargo ship anchored at the port.

Large groups of strong county soldiers, with cowhide vests on their shoulders, shouted slogans and carefully carried down boxes made of heavy wooden boards under the supervision of secret agents from the weaving department dressed in black.

Nearly a thousand men in gorgeous clothes and luxurious accessories, panting, rushed up impatiently like old ladies fighting for discounted eggs in the vegetable market. In a few seconds, they pushed a team of county soldiers aside, shouted slogans, and pried open a large wooden box with crowbars.

'Boom'!
The heavy cover fell to the ground, and the soft and dense velvety hay on it was pushed aside, revealing a number of spherical objects the size of a human head, tightly wrapped in cotton bags.

A fat, greasy middle-aged man ripped open the cloth bag, revealing the golden liquid inside. It reflected a faint golden-blue light in the sun, and its texture was warm and smooth, with a blissful fragrance like that of a precious jade.

Sophie, Marceau and the others used a secret method to create the ecstasy incense, which, judging from its appearance alone, is simply a first-rate "panacea". Who would dare to believe that this is a poison that can capture people's souls, bankrupt them, and leave them dead without a burial place?

Xing Tianqingshu stood at the bow of the largest cargo ship. Seeing the secondary distributors rushing to get ahead, he clapped his hands and stamped his feet triumphantly, shouting arrogantly, "What are you looking at? What are you looking at? I, the uncle, am selling it myself, how can I ruin it? Ha, first-class, top-grade Jilexiang, 100% aged wine, without a drop of water!"

"Look, look, what is this? Look at the color, look at the texture, this is gold, this is silver, this is overwhelming wealth! Haha, guess how much stuff did I bring back, sir?"

"Don't fight, don't fight. It's enough for us to sell comfortably for a year!" Xing Tianqingshu opened a folding fan with a 'snap' sound, and screamed heartbreakingly: "Uncle, I even mortgaged my ancestral home for this batch of goods."

"Cash!"

"It has to be cash!"

"No silver bills or collateral. Just gold and silver. Hurry up and send them to Baiyitan!"

"One cart of gold, one cart of silver, in exchange for one cart of blissful incense, what a simple thing. One hand over the money, the other hand over the goods, we have settled the payment, no one is cheated!"

Xing Tianqingshu was too excited, his face was flushed red, white foam was coming out of the corners of his mouth, and he started talking incoherently!

The fleet brought by these wealthy men was originally moored at this pier. Boxes of gold and boxes of silver were carried out by a large group of strong men who were shouting and panting.

After Xing Tianqingshu received the Jilexiang in Feiyun Port, he urgently sent a telegram to Dayu Dynasty.

Yihe County took the initiative to use the intelligence network of the Weaving Department and the most urgent means of communication to pass on the information that Xing Tianqingshu brought a huge amount of Ji Le Xiang to the distributors who had worked closely with them over the years.

The dealers from the surrounding provinces immediately opened their own cellars and carried out the mountains of gold and silver. They packed them neatly into boxes and brought a large number of guards. They mobilized the fastest cargo ships in their own caravans and sailed through the extremely developed waterways in the Jiangnan area. Like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, they converged into the main channel of the river and sailed downstream with ease. They all arrived in Pinghai City within half a month.

A large group of accountants from the weaving department set up long tables in a row on the dock.

A large group of dealers scrambled for the money, quarreled with each other, and cursed at each other. They crowded madly in front of the accountants and handed over the gold and silver they brought, box by box, to them for counting.

There were skilled money changers on the scene, who carefully counted the purity of the gold and silver. There were large scales, which weighed the gold and silver box by box, converted them into pure gold and silver, and loaded them directly onto trucks and transported them to the ancestral home of the Xingtian family next to Baihetan Lake in Nanxun Town.

Cartloads of gold and silver were transported away like flowing water.

Along the way, the standard-bearing battalion of Jiangdong Province, the county soldiers of Jieshi County, and secret agents from the weaving department were on high alert. Each cart of gold and silver was escorted by dozens of soldiers, and the security measures were extremely strict.

On both sides of the road, there were some huge black dogs and even blue wolves with deep eyes.

They walked silently along the road, carefully looking at everyone they met along the way.

In several strategic locations, there were sturdy men with bare chests and heavy weapons beside them. They seemed to be sitting lazily in the shade of trees, holding jars of wine and drinking old wine in big gulps.

Whether it was the black dogs, blue wolves, or these sturdy men, they all exuded a savage and domineering aura. Their bodies would twitch from time to time, and their movements would briefly pause for three to five seconds, like fish thrown ashore, feeling a little uncomfortable with the environment of this world.

Xing Tianli sat cross-legged on a floating cloud, inhaling and exhaling the primordial Qi while refining several treasures. He squinted his eyes and looked coldly at the busy people below.

Keep busy, keep busy. In the end, all your busyness is just to prepare dowry for others!

With a cold smile, Xing Tianli released his spiritual power and scanned the area below carefully, inch by inch. No one was ambushing, at least, no expert with sufficient cultivation was ambushing near the dock.

The Tongtian Yuling Banner turned into a ray of spiritual light and flew up. The small banner swayed gently, and wisps of yin energy invisible to the naked eye fell rapidly.

There were boxes and boxes of bliss incense piled up like mountains below, and a wisp of Yin energy was hidden in each box.

Xing Tianli looked at the distributors below who were dressed in silk and satin, with jade pendants and other accessories hanging on their belts, and could easily sell each piece for tens of thousands of taels of silver. He pondered for a moment, pointed his finger, and shook the Tongtian Yuling Banner. Strands of extremely fine yin energy descended, lightly penetrated into the seven orifices of these guys, and lurked in their internal organs.

While doing this, Xing Tianli's eyes were cold and without any emotion.

Cartloads of gold and silver were continuously sent to Xingtian’s ancestral home.

Distributors one after another happily waved the receipts signed by the accountants and happily picked up box after box of the incense sticks. They carefully, more devoutly than they would serve their ancestors, transported the incense sticks to their own cargo ships.

These are the blissful incense!

Haha, those bastards who have become addicted to it, even if they were asked to sell their ancestral homes, clan lands, even their children, daughters, and wives, and squeeze their own marrow dry, they just want to lie on the mat in the tobacco shop and take a few puffs.

That short moment of ecstasy is enough to drain the marrow out of those cheap bastards and bring astronomical profits to these distributors!

According to the public price, they took one tael of silver of the Ji Le Xiang from Xing Tian Qing Shu, and when they sold it to those cheapskates, they could earn ten taels of silver - only conscientious dealers would do this.

What about those without conscience?
By mixing some cornmeal into the ecstasy, or some old tobacco leaves, or simply adding some strange and exotic herbs that are worth less than three cents, you can make twenty, thirty, or even more taels of silver from one tael of ecstasy!

If it is combined with other means, for example, if someone's land is worth one hundred taels of silver in the market, and you get anxious and addicted, you can lower the price to ten taels of silver to buy it, and then sell it at the market price!
One tael of silver for the Ji Le Xiang can bring in a profit of one hundred taels, or even two hundred taels!
As long as you are cruel enough, money will come in like water!

Those bastards who are deeply addicted, haha, isn't it natural to make money from them?

With the deep whistle roaring, several fully loaded cargo ships left the dock impatiently, sailed upstream, and returned the same way. One after another, the distributors, with rosy faces, stood happily at the bow and bowed to Xing Tianqingshu.

"Pingbo Bo, make a fortune, make a fortune!"

They shouted loudly with joy.

"Let's get rich together, let's get rich together!" Xing Tianqingshu smiled brightly: "Everyone, have a safe journey, and let's get rich together. Hahahaha, the bosses are anxious to return, so I won't keep you here today! Haha!"

Xing Tianqingshu became too proud of himself.

Princess Yihe smiled proudly.

The partners of Xing Tianqingshu and Princess Yihe, who had offered their ancestral homes, fields, and various real estates, had almost all of their ancestors' belongings converted into silver in exchange for these partners of Jilexiang after Maso had driven them to lower the price. They were all so happy that they almost died.

Right at the dock, in just a short while, they had already made back their investment.

The rest is all pure profit!

Pure profit!
Ten times the huge profits!
Just one month's work and the profit is ten times!

The transaction continues.

Cartloads of gold and silver were continuously transported into Xingtian's ancestral home and delivered into a huge underground palace.

Xing Tianqingshu stood at the bow with his hands behind his back, and said with a soft smile: "Don't worry, everyone, this silver has entered our underground palace, it is absolutely safe. With the masters of the weaving department in charge, no matter how powerful the means are, don't think of taking even a tael of silver from it!"

"The general ledger is recorded clearly and distinctly." "How much collateral each of you put up, how much silver it was converted into, and how much share you took up, it's all clear and there won't be any mistakes."

"Wait until..." Xing Tianqingshu's eyes flashed fiercely, and he lowered his voice: "Wait until the ancestors of the weaving department catch that damn thief... Hey, if he dares to show up again, he will be captured alive by the ancestors... At that time, the gold and silver you lost will naturally be recovered."

"When that damn thief is caught by the law, we will divide the profits according to the general ledger." Xing Tianqingshu patted his chest and said, "How many years have we been in cooperation? Don't worry, you will get every ounce of silver!"

The spiritual power of Xing Tianli enveloped the freighter.

Hearing Xing Tianqingshu's solemn words, he smiled slightly and did not make any statement.

He increased the speed of melting the wreckage of the warship by another three points. His blood essence was boiling, his cultivation was soaring, and the progress of refining several treasures was also rapidly improving. Especially the set of innate five-element beads, after swallowing a large amount of primordial Qi, countless innate restrictions were densely imprinted in it, and it had already become three points more powerful.

Xing Tianqingshu's transaction of the Bliss Incense lasted for a whole day and a night.

Dozens of cargo ships were filled with mountains of Bliss Incense, which were delivered to secondary distributors one box after another. Those fat distributors handed over all the money they brought to Xing Tianqingshu, and returned with a huge amount of Bliss Incense with satisfaction.

As if they were injected with chicken blood, Xing Tian, ​​Qing Shu and his group were extremely excited. They rode on horses and personally escorted the last dozens of carts of gold and silver, winding all the way back to Nanxun Town.

Along the way, the group was on high alert. On the surface, there were thousands of elite soldiers protecting them along the way; secretly, there were nearly a hundred black dogs, blue wolves, and a dozen big men with the original forms of black bears and tigers protecting them secretly.

In the void, there were six old men and women with the smell of foxes on their bodies, pulling the gloomy wind and carrying the light clouds, following closely in the air.

With such high alert along the way, Xing Tian, ​​Qing Shu and the others were very safe, and they escorted dozens of carts of gold and silver back to Xing Tian's ancestral home.

Wooden boxes filled with gold and silver were all delivered to the core area of ​​the Xingtian family's ancestral home, to an underground hall under a square war fortress. Xingtian, Qingshu and others stood at the entrance of the hall and watched the heavy stone door being slowly closed by two big black bear-like men. Until this moment, they had not come to their senses.

"This shouldn't be the case! We've caused such a big commotion!" Xing Tianqingshu murmured, "How come no one wants to touch these gold and silver?"

Princess Yihe gently waved her palace fan and frowned, "Could it be that the villain who swept Nanxun Town last time was just a passerby? He acted on impulse? Tsk, could it be that one of the three ancient families has an unruly person?"

Murima walked out of his hiding place slowly with his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice, "It shouldn't be. Anyone who has such means to carry away so much gold and silver must be at least above the level of an earthly immortal, and he must have more than ten large-capacity Qiankun bags in his hands."

"This kind of person can't be a thief who acted on impulse."

"But, if it is said that the three ancient families have walked for a hundred years... the cultivation level of the Earthly Immortal Realm, and they still have so many Qiankun bags in their hands. This, this, this, this is unacceptable, right? You have to have some dignity, right? Are you still going to abide by the rules set by the ancestors of each family?"

Princess Yihe's face darkened: "Grandpa Murima, if there is really an ancestor among the three ancient families who does not abide by the rules, what do they want to do by taking so much gold and silver? What do they want to do?"

Murima's face darkened.

Yang Tianji's face turned dark.

There was a breeze in the sky, and three old fox demons and three old fox demon ladies descended from the clouds at the same time, with extremely ugly faces.

Amid heavy coughs, the two weaving priests who had followed Xing Tianqingshu to Sijin Island, but whose foundations were destroyed and who were severely injured and on the verge of death, walked out tremblingly and knelt in front of Murima with a "gudong".

Murima looked back at the stone door leading to the underground hall and waved gently at the two of them: "Forget it, no need to waste any more words. I know what you are talking about. Send this money to the current queen mother, and her recommendation quota will be yours."

Xing Tianqingshu sighed - his money!

Princess Yihe also sighed - Xing Tianqingshu's silver was her silver!

High in the sky, on the floating clouds, Xing Tianli overlooked the movements in the ancestral home of the Xing Tian family below. Several times he wanted to press down the clouds and rush directly into the ancestral home to wrestle face to face with Murima, Yang Tianji and others.

But after thinking for a moment, Xing Tianli smiled lightly, holding the Tongtian Yuling Banner in his hand and shook it lightly.

In the underground hall, from the neatly stacked wooden boxes filled with gold and silver ingots, wisps of bone-chilling Yin Qi slowly rose up. The Yin Qi enveloped the wooden boxes, and then suddenly condensed inwards.

Ghost captains and ghost lieutenants wearing heavy armor appeared out of thin air. They all looked up to the sky and howled. The cold wind flickered and ghost shadows were everywhere. They formed an exquisite "Five Ghosts Moving Array". The cold wind blew in the void and tens of thousands of wooden boxes disappeared without a trace.

Strands of negative energy flowed back to the Tongtian Yuling Banner as fast as lightning.

Xing Tianli waved his sleeves, and the gold and silver that were brought back by these ghost schools and ghost lieutenants flowed into the small space of the purple ribbon Taoist robe.

When the negative energy in the underground hall suddenly surged, Murima and Yang Tianji were both frightened, leaving two afterimages, and crashed into the heavy stone door at lightning speed.

With a loud bang, the stone door opened, revealing the huge underground hall, which was sparkling clean without even a single hair left.

"What is this!" Murima and Yang Tianji both widened their eyes.

"This is the evil method of the Five Ghosts Moving Things!" An old fox demon jumped up and down and screamed, "Oh my, in the Dharma Ending Age, that crazy person can still move hundreds of millions of taels of gold and silver at once?"

Murima and Yang Tianji roared in anger.

Blood gushed out of the vital points on the two men's bodies. The coffin nails and canine fangs that they claimed to have cultivated turned into streams of light and flew out. They ignored the taboos of the Dharma Ending Age and forced themselves to mobilize their magic power. Two extremely powerful spiritual forces swept out in all directions like a raging tide.

High in the sky, the flowing clouds controlled by Xing Tianli exploded with a bang.

Murima and Yang Tianji looked up at the same time, their eyes like lightning, locking onto the figure of Xing Tianli. They both let out long screams, and Murima's body swelled up, suddenly turning into a giant about three meters tall. He bent his knees slightly, then suddenly jumped up, like a cannonball fired from a gun, with a terrifying roar, and rushed straight towards Xing Tianli.

Yang Tianji's body shook, and accompanied by a deafening dog barking, he turned into a huge black dog that was about two meters long from head to tail and had an extremely strong physique. His feet stepped on the pitch-black light and brought up a gust of evil wind. He rushed straight towards Xing Tianli at a speed nearly twice as fast as Murima.

It happened in a flash. Xing Tianli shook the Tongtian Yuling Banner in his left hand, and the infinite Yin Qi roared. Yin Qi as thick as water tanks rubbed and collided with each other, and in an instant hundreds of gray and sinister lightning flashed out, pulling out green lightning fire over a hundred feet long, which silently fell on Murima and Yang Tianji.

In the Tongtian Yuling Banner, twelve ghost generals whose cultivation had recovered to the Earthly Immortal Realm roared in unison. They displayed the Powerful Ghost King Technique, and their arms became hundreds of feet long. They suddenly stretched out from the Tongtian Yuling Banner and slapped the enemy on the head.

There was a loud bang, thunder and fire flashed all over the sky, and evil winds filled the air.

The arms of the twenty-four ghost generals were shattered. Murima and Yang Tianji had just released their self-seals, and their cultivation had not yet recovered to its peak state, but they were stopped by the twelve ghost generals joining forces.

After a moment of stiffness, Xing Tianli let out a strange laugh, the Tongtian Miaozhu spun, and a sword light shot up into the sky.

Murima and Yang Tianji didn't even have time to see what Xing Tianli looked like before they saw a streak of sword light as long as a hundred feet long, which disappeared thirty to fifty miles away in the blink of an eye.

The two looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

Murima is a physical cultivator and is not good at flying.

Yang Tianji is a demon cultivator, a big dog, fierce in close combat, and also not good at flying.

Just by seeing the speed of Xing Tianli's sword, they knew clearly that, not to mention that they were not in their peak condition at the moment, even if they raised their cultivation to the extreme, they would not be able to catch up with Xing Tianli.

"Ha!" Murima laughed dryly: "Where's my face?"

"Ha!" Yang Tianji laughed dryly: "Do you think I have the guts to do that?"

Xing Tianqingshu and Princess Yihe sat down on the ground with a thud. They looked at the open stone door of the underground hall in disbelief. They couldn't understand how so much gold and silver could disappear in just the blink of an eye?
The two Forbidden Palace priests, whose foundations of Taoism had been destroyed and who were already on the verge of death, opened their mouths and spat out blood.

"Our silver!"
