Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 253 Takeover
After Ji Fuyou sent out the message, Yang Kaitai, Liu Yiren, Fang Qiyun and others responded immediately.

However, in order to search for the mutated giant centipede, they ventured deep into the Death Rift Valley. It would take them at least another day or two to emerge from there and officially reach Dragon Head Town.

During this period, Longshou Town obviously could not remain in this leaderless state.

He will need the Lucky Oil produced in the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes for a long time, therefore...

Ji Fuyou took out his phone and dialed Jiang Ran's number: "Bring your people to the town head of Longshou Town."

Jiang Ran was taken aback: "That area is full of Zhu Long's trusted men. No one else can get close without Zhu Long's permission..."

Then she seemed to remember something: "Yu Chen just said that something seemed to have happened over there, and quite a few people left in a hurry?"

"Coming right away."

As Ji Fuyou spoke, he added, "Call all your people over, and bring the lucky oil with you."

"Yes."

Jiang Ran agreed.

Although Ji Fuyou was not their captain, he was their captain's captain, and they would naturally obey his orders.

Since Longshou Town is only a few kilometers long, the group arrived in less than ten minutes after receiving the call.

Upon arrival, it was discovered that a fierce battle had clearly taken place in the area; in many places, one could even smell blood and see corpses.

A small number of houses collapsed or were damaged by the violent impact, turning into ruins.

This scene left Jiang Ran, Yu Chen, and Du Ruofei feeling utterly astonished.

This is Zhu Long's headquarters!

Who dares to cause trouble here?!

especially……

Where are the people here?
As far as they knew, at least a thousand of Zhu Long's confidants lived in the town's capital.

Even if these trusted confidants aren't always at the town head, some of them have to carry out various tasks, there are still five or six hundred of them.

result……

They arrived without anyone stopping them, and whenever they saw a living person, they would hurriedly leave.

They actually made it to the center of town safely and unharmed?

"Could it be..."

A thought flashed through Jiang Ran's mind.

But then he shook his head violently: "Impossible! How could this be! That's Zhu Long, the Divine Fist! A Martial Saint whose existence even the Federal Government turns a blind eye to! How could such a figure, standing at the pinnacle of the path of martial arts evolution, possibly..."

With an unspeakable tremor, the group quickly arrived at the very center, the plaza in front of the courtyard that symbolized the highest power of the largest trading market in Dragon Head Town, and even the underground world of the Eastern Divine Continent.

Ji Fuyou stood calmly at the entrance of this building.

The eye of the mind constantly scans in all directions.

A shimmering silver flying sword hovered around him, its movements constantly rising and falling.

But that's not the point; the point is the corpse next to him.

The bloodstains were still wet.

The identity of the corpse caused Jiang Ran, Yu Chen, and Du Ruofei to gasp in shock.

Jiang Ran recognized him as one of the thirteen most prestigious bodyguards in Longshou Town, besides Zhu Long.

In order to be able to do business in Longshou Town with peace of mind, she not long ago even brought gifts to visit him, but now when they meet again...

He had actually become a corpse at Ji Fuyou's feet!?

"Master Ji..."

Jiang Ran opened her mouth and spoke.

But her voice trembled slightly involuntarily.

He couldn't utter a single word after that.

Fortunately, Ji Fuyou didn't wait for their pleasantries and said directly, "You've arrived? Immediately take control of this central area and take over Dragon Head Town. Everyone is allowed to enter but not leave. If anyone resists, send a signal, and my flying sword will arrive immediately."

The core area of ​​Longshou Town is a 1-kilometer radius centered on this building, and this area is within the detection range of Ji Fuyou's Mind Eye.

"Yes."

Jiang Ran quickly responded.

With the order given, her mind began to clear up slightly.

She couldn't help but look up at the buildings behind Ji Fuyou, and asked the question that was no longer in doubt, but which still left her somewhat incredulous: "Master Ji, what about Zhu Long..."

Ji Fuyou knew what she wanted to ask, and immediately gave a brief explanation: "Due to some special reasons, Zhu Long has set his sights on me and intends to take action against me. In order to avoid being put on the defensive, I have no choice but to strike first."

"And the result..."

Jiang Ran's pupils contracted slightly.

Ji Fuyou gave her a strange look: "I'm standing here unharmed, so Zhu Long is obviously dead."

Considering that many people have limited comprehension, he accurately stated: "Zhu Long, the six bodyguards stationed in Longshou Town, and hundreds of his loyal subordinates and guards all perished."

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Ran felt her heart skip a beat.

died! ?
Zhu Long is dead!?
Divine Fist Zhu Long...

He's really dead!?
He was killed by Master Ji!?

Not only Zhu Long, but also his six bodyguards and hundreds of loyal subordinates became corpses!

For a moment, Jiang Ran, Yu Chen, and Du Ruofei all felt a sense of disorientation, as if the world before them was unreal.

A spiritual master, truly that powerful!?

"Go quickly."

Ji Fuyou's voice pulled them back from their daze.

Jiang Ran glanced at Ji Fuyou, then at the corpses beside him, and the next moment…

An unprecedented sense of excitement and stimulation welled up inside me.

Ji Fuyou's ability to kill Zhu Long proves that he has reached the pinnacle of the Federation and truly possesses the same level of deterrence as a Martial Saint.

And how fortunate they are to be able to follow such a top-tier expert and serve him!?
Immediately, Jiang Ran, Yu Chen, Du Ruofei, and the others were invigorated and shouted in unison, "Yes, we'll go and take control of the key locations in this complex of buildings right away!"

"Ah."

Ji Fuyou responded.

After a moment, he glanced at the crowd, then seemed to remember something: "Wait a minute."

Besides Jiang Ran, Yu Chen, and Du Ruofei, there were also more than twenty hunters and staff members assisting in the acquisition of Lucky Oil.

However, among these people, the stronger ones, such as Jiang Ran, Yu Chen, and Du Ruofei, are only at the deputy high-level strength.

Of the remaining twenty-odd people, some were senior-level professionals, but most were intermediate or even junior-level professionals.

This level of strength is too weak.

"The rest of you stay outside and keep watch. The three of you come in with me first."

Ji Fuyou said something and went inside.

Jiang Ran, Yu Chen, and Du Ruofei quickly followed.

Ji Fuyou led them into the room and went directly to Zhu Long's room.

Jiang Ran and the others, who had already completely believed Ji Fuyou's words and were full of excitement, couldn't help but widen their eyes when they saw the two corpses in the room.

Guo Jia is one thing.

another……

Martial Saint!

The Martial Saint at the end of the path of cultivation!

They actually had the chance to see a dead martial saint!

This qualification alone is enough to leave countless senior and even master-level martial artists far behind.

Although they couldn't understand how Ji Fuyou managed to kill Zhu Long, the Martial Saint, the facts were undeniable.

For a moment, the three of them looked at Ji Fuyou's back, their eyes filled with heartfelt awe.

Ji Fuyou led the three of them to the basement with ease.

He accurately located several boxes.

He took out three boxes: "Here are 30 blue physique source crystals. I see that your three physique values ​​are between 16 and 18 points. These values ​​are a bit low. Let's use 22 points as the standard. Each of you take a few source crystals to boost your attributes, so that you don't have no chance to send out a distress signal when you encounter danger."

All three of them were simultaneously startled.

Blue Physique Source Crystal!

Blue Physique Source Crystals worth 1 million, take them as you like!

"After you've built up your physical strength to 22 points, there should still be some left. You can then give them to the others. I won't interfere with how they're distributed; they just need to know that these source crystals were given to them by me."

Ji Fuyou Road.

He didn't know who was trustworthy or who was worth cultivating.

It's naturally more appropriate for Jiang Ran and the others to do this kind of thing.

Upon hearing Ji Fuyou's words, the three exchanged glances and bowed respectfully at the same time: "Thank you, Master Ji."

"We will certainly maintain order in Longshou Town and acquire as much Lucky Oil as possible so as not to disappoint Master Ji."

They also understood Ji Fuyou's purpose in training them.

Ji Fuyou nodded: "Go out and use these source crystals."

At that moment, the group walked out of the underground storage room carrying a box containing 30 blue physique source crystals.

There are certainly more than just these blue physique source crystals in this storage room.

As a martial saint and leader of a force, Zhu Long has collected and stored as many as 50 blue physique source crystals over the years.

There are also as many as 8 blue spiritual source crystals.

In addition, there are 6 red physical source crystals and 2 red spiritual source crystals.

All these source crystals combined are worth no less than 400 billion!
If you add some cash, gold, and some property rights...

The total value of this wealth is likely to reach 600 billion.

It's important to understand that having a net worth of 600 billion and having 600 billion in liquid assets are two completely different things.

Many wealthy people who dabble in stocks and market value claim to have hundreds of billions in assets, but those hundreds of billions can only fool outsiders. If you were to liquidate them, it wouldn't be surprising if the value shrank by a hundredfold.

Zhu Long's 600 billion yuan is a real, tangible asset.

Such wealth is entirely befitting of his status as a martial saint.

"Two red spiritual source crystals are unexpected... but that makes sense. Zhu Long hasn't broken through the spiritual bottleneck yet, so it's reasonable for him to store up the red spiritual source crystals and use them to break through to the spiritual master realm when the time is right."

Ji Fuyou put away the most valuable red source crystal.

"Unfortunately, neither the red physique source crystal nor the spirit source crystal is of any use to me."

He felt a little regretful.

Fortunately, since he can't use it, he can give it to Yang Kaitai and Liu Yiren so that they can develop their divine sense.

While developing divine sense doesn't provide the same dramatic boost as materializing mental power, it still brings a significant increase in their overall strength.

Especially when they can be equipped with the Silver Flying Sword.

After being cleaned by Zhu Long, the two silver flying swords on his body could now be used openly.

He glanced into the storage room, then stepped out and closed the door again.

……

Martial Saints, as beings standing at the pinnacle of the most extraordinary path, are all pillars of strength, and their every move attracts the attention of countless people.

Although Zhu Long was driven out of the Federation's core and could only hide in the border town of Longshou, relying on the Valley of Ten Thousand Snakes as a way out to intimidate the Federation's high-ranking officials, the fact that the Federation's high-ranking officials tacitly allowed him to establish his own regime in Longshou showed that he was definitely a powerful and ruthless figure.

The shockwaves caused by the intrusion and killing of such a figure into their headquarters were earth-shattering and devastating.

Almost half an hour after Ji Fuyou killed Zhu Long, the relevant intelligence had been transmitted at an incredible speed and placed on the tables of several speakers of the Federal Supreme Council.
