Chapter 658 - - 520 First Encounter with a Qi Refiner_1

—————✧✧✧✧—————

Lin City is over two hundred li from Dragon Willow Villa, and even with a fast horse and a whipped horse, it takes more than two hours, but in less than another half an hour, the sky will be bright.

It was simply unrealistic to have Long Yichen bring over a hundred children aged around ten to rush over there.

Not to mention that their physical strength wouldn’t allow them to make the journey, just the noise alone, with more than a hundred children traveling together, would be discovered by others within minutes.

At the same time, Duge also worried that Long Yichen might kill the children halfway and run away.

After all, he subdued Long Yichen and others by invoking wicked thoughts, leading them to cause a disaster of epic proportions.

But this calamitous disaster also meant that they faced enemies too powerful, and his status as an Evil Demon was too sensitive. Therefore, Long Yichen, not only was he not familiar with Duge, but technically he also had a life-and-death grudge against him, so he wouldn’t possibly sell his life for him just because of a few words.

If they were given a chance, Duge couldn’t find a reason for them not to run.

The only way to truly bind these people to his side was to make them truly fear him, and to also make it profitable for them to follow him.

Kindness and severity were the ways to control others.

Thus,

Having confirmed the direction to Lin City, Duge manipulated the Dark God Power, wrapping everyone within it, and took advantage of the night to begin instantaneously moving.

He had given this move a very pleasant name—Hundred Ghosts Transportation Skill!

In Duge’s hands, the Soul Suppressing Vase had become an all-purpose container with the functions of Divine Power all being stuffed inside.

This was the advantage of being in the game field; the outside audience had no way of understanding the true function of the Magical Treasures. As long as he held the Soul Suppressing Vase, he had the final say.

In the future, after he learned Immortal Techniques, he planned on destroying the vase, leaving no evidence behind.

Of course, if someone from Pan-Universe Entertainment entered his body and discovered the secret of the Soul Suppressing Vase, it didn’t matter.

As long as he could still make money, people from Pan-Universe Entertainment would help him cover up.

Being a hot-shot star came with that confidence.

…

No matter how the outside audience speculated about the function of the Soul Suppressing Vase, Long Yichen’s regrets were deep, turning green with envy. Had he known the significance of the vase earlier, he would have claimed it for himself no matter what, then it would have been him holding the initiative.

…

Even the weakest Dark God Power was still a top-notch force.

Before the break of dawn, Duge barely managed to transport everyone to Lin City.

The power of gods and ghosts suppressed everyone, and Long Yichen, among others, temporarily suppressed thoughts of betrayal.

In front of Duge, Long Yichen placed Sword Thirteen and others in his secret villa without playing any tricks on the side.

However, he also reminded Duge that there were many people in the villa with loose tongues; once the Dragon Willow Villa incident was let loose, the affairs concerning Sword Thirteen and the children could not be concealed for long, and he urged Duge to quickly work out a solution for these children.

Duge naturally promised.

That day, Duge and Long Yichen returned to Dragon Willow Villa.

Dark God Power could also be used during the day, but its consumption would be several times that of the night, and it would attract too much attention.

Naturally, Duge wouldn’t waste his Divine Power taking them back.

After finding a few horses in the villa, they disguised themselves and rode back to Fan City on horseback.

…

The massacre at Dragon Willow Villa was discovered by the Fan City merchants who delivered food to the villa around noon.

The Fan City County Magistrate knew that Dragon Willow Villa was Prince Duan’s property. Upon learning that everyone at Dragon Willow Villa had been slaughtered, his legs gave way, and he peed himself out of fear on the spot.

After inspecting the scene with his Government Officials, the County Magistrate promptly sent a report to the chief of the prefecture; with over a thousand people dead and no survivors, and many officials and dignitaries among the dead, the shocking case was beyond his ability to handle.

…

The news could not be concealed.

That day,

Both men and women, old and young in Fan City knew about the tragedy at Dragon Willow Villa.

Everyone felt endangered. The common people thought either a great river thief had come to Fan City or, as the proclamation stated, the Evil Demons of the chaotic world had arrived.

Upon thinking how terrifying such Evil Demons were, the people instantly gave up the thought of tipping off the government for a reward of a hundred Silver; offending such monsters over this sum was not worth it!

The news spread.

By the time Duge and Long Yichen returned to Fan City, the ranking had already soared to first place, and their attributes had also jumped up significantly.

…

Duge suddenly disappeared.

Niu Sanbao and his fellows reflected on it for a day, and the more they thought about it, the less they believed the Carefree Sect was so simple.

Duge’s recovery was uncertain, and if his rebel disciple who murdered his master and ancestors found them, they would probably just be cannon fodder used to take the fall.

After discussing, they felt it was better to leave Fan City first, but just as they had packed up their valuables, they heard about the incident at Dragon Willow Villa.

Niu Sanbao and his companions were scared silly on the spot, instinctively linking the brutality at Dragon Willow Villa with Duge.

After all, Duge had inquired about Dragon Willow Villa previously.

Resultantly, with Duge disappearing and Dragon Willow Villa being wiped out right after, no one would believe it to be a coincidence.

Thinking that Dragon Willow Villa had been annihilated by Duge, Niu Sanbao and others immediately returned their valuables to their original places, not daring to flee.

With such a murderous person, if he returned to find them gone and then tracked them down, would they have any chance of survival?

Moreover, with Duge wiping out an entire villa alone, Niu Sanbao and the others saw a glimmer of hope; perhaps Duge and his group were about to recover their powers.

After joining the Carefree Sect so arduously and being on the verge of learning Divine Skills, it would be foolish to run away and break what was in their grasp.

After contemplating for a long time, Niu Sanbao aligned his story with his brothers, concealing the information about the Carefree Sect, and then anxiously waited in his yard, tending to his wounds and awaiting the return of the Carefree Ancestors.
