"Clean this place up."
Chu Xiao looked at the mess in the courtyard and ordered.
"Yes, Gang Leader!" Lei Bin and Cai Xi Shi came back to their senses and quickly cupped their hands in agreement.
All along, they only knew that Chu Xiao was very strong, but they didn't have a clear understanding of how strong he was.
This time, they finally understood how wide the gap between a first-rate expert and a grandmaster was.
That was simply an insurmountable natural moat.
Even someone as strong as Jiang Asheng, who was half a step away from the Zongshi realm, was defeated and killed in a few moves.
"Ding!"
A system notification sounded in Chu Xiao's mind.
"Congratulations to the host for completing the system's random mission: Destroy Jiang Asheng."
" Reward for completing the mission: 10 Gold Silk Armors.”
As the notification sounded, Chu Bai felt that there were more things in the system space. He quickly focused his attention on them.
In the system space, ten golden soft armors floated quietly.
"After you're done, come to Black Bamboo Manor to see me.”Chu Xiao left these words and then left the courtyard with Ye Zhanqing.
Lei Bin and Cai Xi Shi stayed behind to deal with Jiang Asheng's body and the mess.
"Lian Sheng, what realm do you think the Faction Leader is at now? He actually killed Jiang Asheng in one move. It was too terrifying.”Lei Bin said as he worked.
Cai Xi shook his head and pinched his beard.""In my opinion, an ordinary grandmaster would never have such strength. I've seen the Cakravarti King fight a few times. He's strong, but he's not as terrifying as the Faction Leader.”
Lei Bin nodded in agreement," I think so too. With the Faction Leader's strength, he's probably an expert even among the Grandmasters."”
After saying that, the two of them looked at each other and rejoiced in their hearts. Fortunately, after the death of the Cakravarti King, they chose to follow Chu Xiao.
With such a terrifying leader, Black Rock would not have to worry about not growing stronger. Their status would definitely rise in the future as well.
"Alright, don't think too much. Hurry up and settle it. The leader is still waiting for us to return to the villa to report.”
As she spoke, she took a sip of wine and sprayed it at Jiang Asheng's corpse.
Whoosh!
Blazing flames spewed out, immediately igniting the dried corpse.
Not long after, the corpse was burned to ashes. With a gust of the night wind, it disappeared without a trace.
From then on, Jiang Asheng would no longer exist in this world.
……
Black Bamboo Manor.
Chu Xiao returned to his bedroom and took out a golden soft armor. He placed it in his hand and examined it carefully.
The golden soft armor was golden in color and looked very noble. It was a simple vest.
It was extremely light and extremely thin. One could see dense golden threads connecting all parts of the soft armor.
Chu Xiao weighed it in his hand and put it on.
" I wonder how strong its defense is." After Chu Xiao put it on, he moved his arms, but he almost couldn't feel the existence of the vest.
It was too light and thin!
It was to the extent that Chu Xiao even doubted if this thing could block a weapon.
Chu Xiao was bold and did not take off his vest. He directly took out a flying knife and stabbed it at the vest with some force.
With his current control over his body, even if the avatar was just for show, he could stop the moment the throwing knife pierced through the avatar without hurting himself.
The saber descended.
However, the result surprised Chu Xiao. The flying knife failed to pierce through the golden soft armor. That seemingly thin layer provided an extremely reliable defensive ability, completely blocking the sharp weapon attack.
Moreover, Chu Xiao was keenly aware that the strength he used was not equal to the impact he felt. This meant that the Golden Silk Soft Armor had the ability to absorb and discharge force.
"Good stuff. As expected of the system reward.”
Chu Xiao dispelled his suspicions about the Golden Silk Soft Armor. If this thing was released, it would definitely be a first-class treasure.
Even the treasures of some small sects couldn't compare to this Golden Silk Soft Armor.
And Chu Xiao had a total of ten such soft armors!
"Drizzle, Ye Zhanqing, and your subordinates will each have one. The rest will be stored in the Blackstone Secret Treasury and rewarded to other capable killers.”
Chu Xiao calculated the use of the Golden Silk Soft Armor and had a preliminary plan in his heart.
After thinking it through, Chu Xiao walked out of the bedroom and called a guard over. He ordered,""Inform Drizzle and Ye Zhanqing to go to the meeting hall.”
"Yes, Gang Leader!" The guard nodded and left.
Chu Xiao walked towards the meeting hall.
Not long after, Drizzle and Ye Zhanqing arrived one after another.
The three of them took their seats. At this moment, Lei Bin and Cai Xi Shi, who were cleaning up the mess, also rushed back.
Chu Xiao sat at the head of the table and said," You came back just in time. I happened to get a few golden soft armors. It's just nice that each of you can have one."”
"Golden Silk Soft Armor?" Ye Zhanqing didn't understand.
Cai Xi was experienced and stroked his beard.""I've heard of the Golden Silk Armour. It's said to be made from a rare type of golden silk in the Western Regions. It's impervious to fire and water, as well as swords and spears.
I wonder if the golden silk armor in Sect Master's hand is the same as the one I heard about?”
Hearing this, Lei Bin and the others were tempted, their eyes filled with desire.
Even Drizzle, who had always been cold, turned her head slightly.
Anyone in the martial world would want to have a treasured armor that was invulnerable to swords and spears. That meant that they would have many more lives.
Chu Xiao glanced at these people and said,""I'm not sure if it's the kind that Lian Sheng mentioned. The treasured armor is here, you guys can experiment on it yourselves.”
After he finished speaking, Chu Xiao swung his hand and threw out nine pieces of golden soft armors as if he was performing a magic trick.
"So many golden soft armors!" Cai Xishi said in shock. He was originally stroking his beard, but this time, he almost tore off his entire beard.
The rest of the people were also dumbfounded. They were shocked by Chu Xiao's move and didn't have time to pay attention to Chu Xiao's magic trick.
No one would have thought that the few items that Chu Xiao had obtained by chance would actually be so many.
"Don't just stand there. Try them on.”Chu Xiao waved his hand and said while facing everyone's surprised eyes.
Seeing that Chu Xiao had no intention of explaining, the few of them did not delve further and focused their attention on the Golden Silk Soft Armor.
Cai Xi Shi took out two blades, Lei Bin took out a flying needle, and Xiao Yu and Ye Zhanqing each took out a water-repelling sword and a revolving sword.
Without hesitation, they stabbed their weapons at the golden silk armor.
The result made them overjoyed. Under the full-force stab, the golden silk soft armor was unharmed, which was enough to show its ability to defend against sharp weapons.
Following that, she spat fire out of her mouth to test the fire-resistant ability of the golden silk soft armor.
The result was still delightful.
The flames were unable to burn the Gold Silk Soft Armor at all.
"Good! Good armor!" Cai Xi praised.
Then, he accepted the golden soft armor and said respectfully to Chu Xiao,""Thank you, Sect Master, for bestowing this treasured armor!"
"Thank you, Sect Master!" The others also said.”
Among them, Ye Zhanqing threw a big wink at Chu Xiao, obviously planning to repay Chu Xiao in a more sincere way.
"Take these treasured armors and send one to Fatty Chen. The rest will be stored in the secret vault for future people.”Chu Xiao said.
"Understood!"
……
Dragon Guarding Mountain Villa.
In the main hall, the manor lord, Iron-guts God-Marquis Zhu Buduan, sat at the head of the table. He wore a purple robe, exuding a noble aura.
Below him sat a man and a woman. They were two of Zhu Bujue's four secret agents.
Heaven No.1 Duan Tianya and Black No.1 Shangguan Haitang.
Duan Tianya's long hair was tied behind his head. He had studied martial arts in Japan for several years and was proficient in saber techniques and ninjutsu. He held a red scabbard in his hand.
Shangguan Haitang was dressed in white and held a romantic fan in her hand. Although she was a girl, she was dressed as a man. She looked quite elegant and had the temperament of a noble young master.
"Godfather, why did you call me and big brother here?”Shangguan Haitang asked.
Zhu Buduan slowly said," Recently, the trend of buying and selling officials has gradually risen. I suspect that it has something to do with Cao Zhengchun of the East Chamber.”
"Cao Zhengchun has been closely watched by us. Logically speaking, he shouldn't have had the chance to do this.”Shangguan Haitang said with a frown.
"Cao Zhengchun alone is indeed like this. However, if he chooses to cooperate with the forces of the martial world, one side will be in the open and one side will be in the dark.”Zhu Budian said.
"Godfather is right."
Zhu Budian immediately ordered,"The two of you go and investigate the East Chamber. Find out if they were involved in buying and selling officials."”
"Yes, sir!"
Duan Tianya and Shangguan Haitang agreed at the same time and slowly left the hall.
The reason Zhu Bujue wanted to investigate the East Hall was because of the responsibility of the Dragon Guard Mountain Villa and also to deal with Cao Zhengchun, his old enemy.
The reason why the late Emperor had ordered the Iron-bold Divine Marquis to establish the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa was to become the top intelligence agency and collect secret information on the various dignitaries and executives for the imperial court. At the same time, it was also to find a reason for him to interfere in the affairs of the officials.
