the other side.
Following Gao Peng's directions, Chu Xuan quickly located the Gao family's treasure vault.
They had actually dug a huge space of 200 square meters at the bottom of the pond, with the entrance hidden under the stone table in the pavilion. If Gao Peng hadn't told him, he really wouldn't have found it so easily.
Upon entering the treasure vault, one is greeted by a dazzling array of gold and silver, piled up almost like small mountains.
Most of it was silver, roughly estimated at 40,000 to 50,000 taels, and gold was about 10,000 taels.
The amount may not seem very large, but the sheer volume of real gold and silver piled together creates a striking visual impact.
"Wow, they're so rich!"
Chu Xuan couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.
The Gao family has dominated Gaoliu City for so many years and has exploited the people quite a bit, so it's not surprising that they have so much money.
Unfortunately, there was too much gold and silver; even if he had it, he couldn't have taken it with him.
Moreover, money has little value to him now.
In the Xuan Yang Sect, silver is of very low value and nobody uses it. Even gold can only buy some low-end items.
Resources related to the cultivation of martial artists with the Gang Jin skill are so scarce that even gold is hard to buy.
For example, the Marrow Cleansing Lotus Root that Chu Xuan sold at Wanbaolou and the Eight Desolations Suppressing Prison Force that he bought can only be exchanged with contribution points; no matter how much gold you have, you can't buy them.
Chu Xuan looked away from the gold and silver with some regret, and then began searching around. Several large boxes contained jewelry, which could be worth a lot of money, but unfortunately, they weren't of much value to Chu Xuan.
Besides, I have too much stuff to take with me.
What he really wanted was cultivation resources.
After searching for a while, Chu Xuan was somewhat disappointed.
They only found a few secret manuals and some basic elixirs.
For martial artists below the Transformation Realm, these might be treasures, but for him, they meant nothing.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. Gaoliu City is just a small city, even smaller than Qingshan City.
The strongest member of the entire Gao family, Gao Zhenshan, was only at the Great Perfection of the Transformation Realm. Even if he had precious spiritual herbs and pills, he would have used them himself long ago.
"Huh————"
When his gaze swept over a corner, Chu Xuan couldn't help but let out a soft gasp.
That corner, compared to the gold and silver treasures filling the cave, seemed rather inconspicuous; it was filled with armor and weapons.
Most of them were already rusty or broken.
There are also some ores.
Chu Xuan's attention was drawn to an inconspicuous piece of iron among the piles of scrap metal.
He was very familiar with this thing.
He cultivated the Tiger Roar Thunder Sound technique using the same piece of iron.
"罡劲功法!"
Chu Xuan's eyes lit up.
He recognized it at a glance; it was the very vessel that carried the Gang Jin (罡劲) technique.
Chu Xuan quickly stepped forward and picked up the iron piece, only to find a blood-red token and a cloak stained with blood next to it.
"A token from the Blood God Cult?"
Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow and quickly realized that these things must have come from the Blood God Cult, which was in league with the Gao family.
It seems he was tricked to death by Gao Peng.
Unfortunately, the Gao family didn't recognize the value of the iron piece and simply left it there carelessly.
"Stop! Put it down!"
Just as Chu Xuan was about to examine the iron sheet, a furious shout suddenly came from behind him.
A burly man dressed in tight-fitting clothes, with muscles bulging all over his body, suddenly appeared at the cave entrance. When he saw that Chu Xuan had entered even before him, he raised an eyebrow. When he saw what Chu Xuan was holding, he immediately shouted.
Almost simultaneously, he stomped on the ground and charged towards Chu Xuan like an arrow, revealing his full power as a master of internal energy. He then punched Chu Xuan directly in the back.
They didn't give Chu Xuan a chance to react at all!
"court death!"
Feeling the fierce wind coming from behind, Chu Xuan's eyes turned cold, and he threw a punch in the backhand!
Bang~!
Click!
A violent collision was followed by the sound of bones shattering.
The middle-aged man's fierce and domineering punch, upon contact with Chu Xuan's fist, shattered like an egg hitting a rock, producing a sound of unbearable pressure.
"ah----"
The middle-aged man let out a piercing scream.
His entire right hand exploded under Chu Xuan's punch, and the explosion spread to his entire right arm.
In an instant, his entire right arm exploded into a cloud of blood mist.
The middle-aged man screamed and was sent flying backward at an even faster speed, crashing heavily into the cave wall with a bang. He spat out another mouthful of blood, mixed with bits of flesh.
"罡劲?"
The middle-aged man looked horrified, his eyes filled with terror.
Then, as if realizing something, his body began to tremble with fear.
Disciple of Xuan Yang Sect!
He initially thought Chu Xuan was like him, there to take advantage of the chaos. Seeing that Chu Xuan was young, he figured he wouldn't be very strong, which is why he launched a sneak attack.
But no one expected that the other party would be the ruthless person who wiped out the entire Gao family!
"You're going to kill me?"
Chu Xuan put away the iron plate, his cold gaze sweeping over the middle-aged man. His indifferent voice was devoid of any emotion, instantly making the middle-aged man feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave!
"Misunderstanding! Young master, you've misunderstood! I am Yan Kaishan, the owner of the Kaishan Martial Arts School in Gaoliu City! I initially thought it was some petty thief trying to steal something, and in my haste, I acted accordingly—"
Yan Kaishan waved his hand repeatedly.
Whoosh!
Before he could finish speaking, Chu Xuan unleashed the Nine Heavenly Rocs beneath his feet, instantly appearing in front of him and grabbing his neck.
"Young master, please believe me—"
Click!
Chu Xuan crushed his throat with a single blow.
Yan Kaishan's face turned red, and his eyes bulged so much they almost popped out.
He's a martial artist who has reached the Great Perfection of Internal Energy!
In the entire Gaoliu City, they were the very top-tier group. They never expected that they would die just because they came to loot a little!
Overwhelmed by endless regret, he let out a piercing sound, and moments later, everything went black; he was completely lifeless.
"I believe you! Because this is also a misunderstanding!"
Chu Xuan's voice was indifferent as he casually tossed the corpse aside like a broken sack.
His cold eyes swept over the group of people who had reappeared at the doorway: "Would you all like to test my abilities?"
quiet!
The entrance to the cave was deathly silent.
The people present were almost all the experts in Gaoliu City, the weakest of whom were all martial artists who had reached the Great Perfection of Dark Force, but at this moment, they didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
Their gazes swept over the still-warm corpse on the ground, and everyone's faces showed utter horror!
Yan Kaishan, the master of Kaishan Martial Arts School!
This is a master who has been famous for many years. Ten years ago, he had already reached the Great Perfection of Internal Energy and was ranked among the top five in the entire Gaoliu City!
Yet even such a master was powerless against this young man, and was crushed to death like a chick!
terror!
No wonder the other party was able to wipe out the entire Gao family by himself!
"Young master, we mean you no harm!"
At this moment, a middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes stepped out from the crowd, cupped his hands in greeting to Chu Xuan, and said, "I am Wang Anshun, the head of the Wang family of Gaoliu City."
The Gao family dared to collude with the Blood God Sect, using human bodies to refine pills—such an outrageous act deserving of annihilation! We have come here specifically to thank you, young master, for ridding our Gao Liu City of this scourge!
"Thank you now, let's go!" Chu Xuan said.
"Forehead----"
Wang Anshun froze instantly.
Chu Xuan frowned immediately and asked, "What is it? Is there something else?"
Wang Anshun immediately snapped to attention and hurriedly said, "No—it's nothing. Ah, no, young master, my Wang family has already prepared a banquet to welcome you—"
"No need!"
Chu Xuan waved his hand.
He knew perfectly well what these people were up to, and couldn't be bothered with pretense. "I'll be leaving soon!"
Wang Anshun immediately looked disappointed.
This is a disciple of the Xuan Yang Sect! He has already broken through to the Gang Jin realm at such a young age; his future is undoubtedly limitless.
If they could establish a connection with the other party, the Wang family might rise to prominence.
Unfortunately, the other party wasn't buying it at all!
The other leaders of the forces in Gaoliu City also looked disappointed upon seeing this.
At this moment, another middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes stepped forward and said, "I am Liu Jiye, the head of the Liu family in Gaoliu City. Thank you, young master, for saving my daughter, Liu Ru, the other day."
"Liu Jiye? Liu Ru's father?"
Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly, as if he had thought of something.
He waved to Liu Jiye and said, "Come here!"
"yes!"
Liu Jiye was overjoyed and quickly stepped forward.
The other powerful figures in Gaoliu City, including the head of the Wang family, were all staring at Liu Jiye's back, their teeth itching with hatred!
You scoundrel!
They have no sense of martial ethics and actually used their own daughter as a bargaining chip!
Beast!
Everyone cursed inwardly, secretly regretting not bringing their daughters along.
"What are your instructions, young master?" Liu Jiye asked respectfully.
Chu Xuan pointed to the mountain of gold and silver piled up beside him: "These—"
"Of course it's yours," Liu Jiye replied knowingly.
Chu Xuan glanced at him and corrected him, "He's from the Xuan Yang Sect!"
"Oh right, it's from the Xuan Yang Sect!" Liu Jiye quickly corrected himself.
Chu Xuan nodded in satisfaction: "These are all stolen goods. I should have taken them directly back to the Xuan Yang Sect and handed them over to the sect for disposal. But there are just too many things for me to carry alone. Could you exchange them for gold notes?"
Liu Jiye immediately patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, young master, I'll get it for you right away!"
"Young master, my Wang family is also willing to share your burden! It will take the Liu family at least a day to exchange these jewels. But with the help of my Wang family, it will only take half a day at most!" Wang Anshun hurriedly stepped forward and said.
Upon seeing this, the others immediately stepped forward as well.
"Young master, my Wu family is also willing to help!"
"My Zhao Family Martial Arts School is also willing—"
"My Jin Family Pawnshop—"
Me too————
One hour later.
Outside the Qingfeng Inn where Chu Xuan was staying, powerful figures from all sides of Gaoliu City once again gathered.
Upon seeing Chu Xuan emerge, Liu Jiye handed a stack of gold notes to Liu Ru, indicating that she should give them to Chu Xuan.
"Young Master Qian—" Liu Ru stepped forward, somewhat reserved.
In that hour, the powerful and influential people of Gaoliu City had obviously learned a lot, such as that some people had heard the Gao family members call out Chu Xuan's name.
"Miss Liu and everyone have misunderstood!"
Chu Xuan shook his head. Seeing everyone staring at him, he couldn't use the name Qian Yao any longer and explained, "Qian Yao is just an alias. Actually—"
My name is Xu Fengchu!
"Um, Young Master Xu!"
Liu Ru quickly changed her tune, "These are the Gao family's assets, totaling 30,000 taels of gold notes. Please accept them."
Chu Xuan took it and put it directly into his pocket.
Liu Ru then took out another brocade box and said, "Young Master Xu, thank you for saving me before. This is a century-old ginseng, a small token of my Liu family's appreciation. It may be of help to you."
"Miss Liu, you're too kind."
Chu Xuan didn't stand on ceremony and put it directly into the package. Then, he cupped his hands to Liu Ru and the others, saying, "Everyone, until we meet again!"
Liu Ru stared blankly at Chu Xuan's departing figure, feeling somewhat lost and disappointed. Only after Chu Xuan's figure disappeared did she reluctantly withdraw her gaze.
Liu Jiye stepped forward, patted her shoulder, and said, "Stop looking! A prodigy like Young Master Xu has already broken through to the Gang Jin realm at such a young age. As long as he doesn't die young, he will definitely become a high-ranking member of the Xuan Yang Sect! He and we are destined to be from different worlds."
