Chapter 59 The Mastermind
The leader of the debt collectors was a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator. After Fu Jun shot his head off, he used the Blood Lice Transformation Technique to try to refine it.
Fu Jun's chip has been cracked, and even self-harming or suicidal spiritual transmission commands can take effect. The spiritual energy that had turned into mist in Guanyuan Qihai split into several strands, like a bolt of silk tearing, and burst out from the Liqiao point three inches below Dantian. The moment it broke through the barrier, all the meridians in his body felt as if they were being stabbed by cold needles, and they all tensed and spasmed.
Under the instructions of the SCR file of the demonic method, the spirit flowed up and down along the Chongmai, where the violent currents of various meridians converged and collided, creating tiny pieces of violent fire. The light and shadow within the meridians were distorted, and the violent fire scorched the meridian walls.
Finally, it transformed into wisps of crimson energy that burst forth from his palm, and the flesh of his left hand began to dissolve, revealing the stark white bones beneath.
The pain caused his whole body to spasm, yet it only intensified the bloodthirsty heat within him.
The dissolved flesh and blood decomposed into countless blood-red lice, densely packed like flying insects hovering over a rotting corpse. They all burrowed into the gaping wound on the neck of the debt collector whose head had been blown off by a pistol. Large lumps began to swell on the corpse as the flesh and blood essence were broken down and rushed straight to the Guanyuan Qihai, devouring all the cultivator's cultivation until nothing was left.
All the blood lice returned to Fu Jun's left arm, rebuilding themselves as flesh and blood. Along with them, all his essence and spiritual energy flowed into his body's vital energy points, spreading throughout his limbs and bones, and finally converging at the Guanyuan point.
The spiritual veins of heaven and earth are all locked up. The spiritual veins far beyond those of universities are far inferior to those controlled by private enterprises or local powerful families due to various kickbacks and formations set up by personnel within the education group.
However, given Fu Jun's family background, even the spiritual veins within the school would be difficult for them to afford the high rental prices.
Like rain after a long drought, the long-standing shackles were broken, and the spiritual mist devoured this person's cultivation with relish. After refining this person, the spiritual mist became extremely dense, instantly entering the third level of Qi Refining, and faintly touching the bottleneck of the middle stage, and was faintly turning into liquid.
The other two debt collectors were only at the early stage of Qi Refining, but they had already made a fortune in this line of work. If the debtor was a woman, they would even humiliate her. They were all there to exploit the weak, and they had never seen anything like this before.
One of them had already fallen into stress-induced paralysis, lost control of his bladder on the spot, and dared not move. The other person's legs went weak, and after a brief mental breakdown, he also mustered all his strength to escape.
On the spot, Fu Jun showed no remorse for killing anyone. He didn't want to kill anyone, nor was he willing to kill anyone. He was forced to this point. These dogs, even if you kill ten thousand more, it won't make a difference. It's because Cangzhou Bank is backing them up, they are exempt from the law, and it's a roundabout conspiracy that makes people kill each other. They will sit on the sidelines forever, and there's also Fu Jianzhou's unrealistic fantasy.
"Let me go—let me go—"
The debt collector, slumped down, begged for mercy, his words slurred and incoherent, clearly terrified.
"If I let you go, who will let me go?"
When facing people of the same level, the demonic path made up for Fu Jun's inability to obtain resources with money. He put in ten or a hundred times more effort than the average person and finally saw results.
Ling Huagang protected his legs, grabbed his head, and delivered a knee strike, shattering his skull into fragments. The flying bone fragments pierced the wall, spraying out a spray of red and white matter.
Blood lice swarmed in, brutally gnawing away at a skeleton, dissolving it into a pool of filthy blood, completely refining it.
The people trying to escape kept pressing the elevator button, but the elevator remained stuck on the upper floor and didn't move. They completely forgot that the elevators in the low-rent community were coin-operated and required payment to operate.
Before he could react, Fu Jun had already caught up.
【Shadow Escape Technique.SCR】
Under the script's control, Fu Jun's figure, shrouded in black mist, moved like a ghost in the already dimly lit corridor. He delivered a swift chop to the chest, as if it were nothing, grabbing the heart and crushing it into a pulp in an instant. Blood lice burrowed directly into the body through his hand. When Fu Jun pulled his hand out, only a skeleton remained. Filthy blood and withered organs were scattered all over the ground like an overturned paint bucket, completely refined.
The motion-activated lights in the hallway were old and dilapidated, flickering on and off, reflecting the blood-covered Fu Jun.
This is far from enough!
Strangely, the Spider Gang didn't bother me today, instead calling me to the Grindhouse Club for a fight. Things are always unpredictable, and there must be something fishy going on. I must quickly reach a higher level to eliminate this worry forever.
Looking at the mess in the hallway, I knew I couldn't live here anymore. Gangs could use medical agreements to circumvent the law, kill people at will, and squeeze the value out of people to the limit, but I couldn't do that.
They dragged the three corpses back to the low-rent apartment, taking nothing but the USB drive given to them by the man in the trench coat and the piano case containing the real demon sword. After destroying the computer, they left.
That door has been closed forever.
Gray Core City, East District.
VIP box at the charity auction.
The auction proceeded smoothly and enthusiastically, but the two people in the private box were discussing something unrelated to the event.
"Do you know why Luo Yueli didn't come today?"
-
Lu Tiansheng frowned. His temples were gray, and the years had etched wrinkles on his face. His long hair was draped over his shoulders. His eyes were not compassionate, but his face was kind. He had a restrained sharpness and a calm and dignified aura. He was dressed in simple everyday clothes and had an imposing presence without anger.
Not only were members of the Qingcang Martial Alliance absent, but representatives from some organizations with vested interests also failed to arrive at the scene.
However, the immense influence of Cangyan Power did not diminish the excitement of this auction.
"Uncle, is it because of—what happened yesterday?"
Lu Yunzhao replied respectfully.
This charity auction was spearheaded by Cangyan Power, and most of the antiques and old items auctioned by the organizer came from the Lu family, the actual controlling family behind Cangyan Power.
The proceeds from the auction will be deposited into a foundation that supports impoverished students in their cultivation practices.
However, this foundation is also controlled by Cangyan Power and has reached a cooperation agreement with banks. Due to the policies of Cangzhou, the banks are unable to lend at high interest rates. Banks can use the name of such foundation-type wealth management products to transfer the funds to branches of banks controlled by banks behind online lending platforms. After subcontracting and subcontracting again, they can perfectly circumvent the law.
Therefore, the real intention behind the charity auction is to avoid transaction taxes on antiques and old items, and to further amass wealth. Allies or bribe-givers of Cangyan Power will also buy at high prices on-site to show their support, which is another form of offering.
It's not about selling it for free, but about making even more money.
This is the absolute dominance of those occupying an upstream ecological niche in the value chain.
"You're now carrying the banner of Azure Flame Power, and you're also its future successor. How can you act so recklessly?"
"But he made improper advances towards Xiao Luo—"
Lu Yunzhao still harbored resentment.
Lu Tiansheng believed that tonight's arrangements were correct. It was time for him to see the framework of the makeshift hospital and how everything actually worked. He was unaware that the absence of these people had already caused losses of hundreds of millions. Although it was insignificant to the Lu family, the deeper issue was that the future successor was such an incompetent person, which affected the stock price.
"Even if he's right there in front of you and rapes that woman, you have to keep quiet about it."
Lu Tiansheng uttered unconventional words, yet his eyes remained calm and his tone was composed and even.
"What?"
Lu Yunzhao wondered if he had misheard.
Lu Tiansheng could only explain the most basic and easy-to-understand principles to him in a simple and straightforward way.
"The world is divided into gentlemen and petty men, and the rules are reversed. If a gentleman criticizes a petty man for being base, it is considered a transgression; if a petty man insults a gentleman for being dignified, it is not a problem. Once these rules are established, petty men will never realize their own depravity."
No one may overstep their bounds under any circumstances. Whoever fails to participate in the operation of the rules will be eliminated by them. If that's the case, you must marry that woman, because we must maintain the operation of the rules. The Qingcang Martial Alliance and the Mercury Group will pay a higher price to avoid being eliminated by the rules.
Lu Yunzhao's despicable tricks brought shame to the Lu family. Such a situation could not have happened, otherwise Mercury Group's stock price would have plummeted.
"I truly mean it—"
"That's enough!"
Lu Tiansheng interrupted him, saying that companions are only needed at the dinner table, and enlightened beings do not concern themselves with trivial matters.
The phone vibrated at that moment. The sender's note contained no text, only a spider-shaped icon.
A major incident occurred yesterday; there may be a shortage of goods in the near future.
This finally moved Lu Tiansheng.
Cangzhou and Leizhou have an agreement that neither will use its own people, but will exchange them with the other. Therefore, they also supported the Spider Gang in setting up a transportation company.
Meanwhile, friends in Leizhou also have shipping companies sending goods to Cangzhou.
You wouldn't cut corners and then ship the rest yourselves, would you?
Lu Tiansheng asked, "If that's the case, we have to consider destroying the Spider Gang and annihilating them completely. This is a major taboo; they must never be allowed to circulate in the black market. I've warned them countless times."
[Renxin Pharmaceutical Company] is also a shell company; Lu Tiansheng found a trustworthy legal representative to act as its agent.
Within the family, those who do not pursue higher realms of immortality and do not participate in the struggles must also be well taken care of, given longevity pills to prolong their lives, and provided with leisure time for enjoyment in order to keep them at ease.
I wouldn't dare even if you gave me a million lives!
Although the Spider Gang's leader said so, Lu Tiansheng still had doubts. After all, the profits in this industry were so great that it was hard not to be greedy.
It's not just the Spider Gang; Lu Tiansheng has many such organizations under his command in Gray Core City and the surrounding area. But only the Spider Gang has recently made him inexplicably uneasy, and he worries that something might go wrong.
So I'm going to inspect it tonight. I originally planned to have the young people from the alliance go with me, since we can rely on each other's blood to form a reliable alliance, but after what happened yesterday, I'll just leave it at that.
Let Lu Yunzhao broaden his horizons.
How are your plans for tonight?
[Everything was arranged. There were also some extremely talented and fierce students; one of them even killed three of our men.]
Lu Tiansheng thought it was quite good, and Yun Zhao's sister liked this kind of guy very much. If it piqued her interest, she might take him in as a male concubine.
