The Destiny Villain Starting from Battle Through the Heavens

Chapter 108 Intercepting the Medicine Master (First Update, Please Vote)

As the anti-corruption campaign intensified, the entire island nation quickly descended into economic collapse and chaos.

The anti-corruption campaign should have been a good thing for the country and its people, but this campaign has been too radical.

According to the Emperor's decree, all corrupt officials and illicit merchants who are caught, regardless of the amount of money involved, will have their entire families executed and all their property confiscated.

As the saying goes: nine out of ten officials are corrupt, and nine out of ten businessmen are cunning.

Seeing that corrupt officials and treacherous merchants in the capital had all been executed along with their families, corrupt officials and treacherous merchants in other places naturally felt insecure.

Some corrupt officials and unscrupulous merchants were bold enough not to surrender and be at the mercy of others, so they simply colluded with each other, joined forces to rebel, and declared themselves kings.

Some corrupt officials and unscrupulous businessmen, being less daring, secretly took their families and money and fled to other countries overnight.

With the flight of a large number of unscrupulous merchants, the market supply of the entire island nation collapsed. The people who could not buy things naturally complained bitterly, and the scale of local rebellions also increased.

While the situation on the island nation was in chaos, Nalan Sheng was secretly scrambling for various resources and talents, making a fortune.

Many unscrupulous merchants, when fleeing, only manage to take a portion of their gold and silver treasures, but are unable to take away real estate such as factories.

Therefore, Nalan Sheng also secretly took away a lot of the factory's processing machinery, as well as the workers and their families who could operate those machines.

.

In addition to plundering resources and talent, Nalan Sheng also secretly took away the souls of many condemned prisoners and used the method of consuming spirits to devour them.

Although the method of persuasion has great hidden dangers, Nalan Sheng has the Horse Talisman in hand, so he doesn't need to worry about those side effects.

After consuming tens of thousands of souls, Nalan Sheng's soul realm also increased dramatically from a fifth-grade alchemist to a seventh-grade alchemist.

However, once Nalan Sheng obtained a soul strength comparable to a seventh-grade alchemist, the horse talisman could no longer eliminate the soul pollution caused by the spirit-consuming method.

It's clear that the seventh-grade alchemist is a watershed moment; beyond this point, the power of the horse talisman becomes ineffective.

Seeing that the horse talisman could no longer eliminate the soul pollution, Nalan Sheng decisively stopped consuming souls.

Time passed little by little, and before he knew it, Nalan Sheng had already spent three months in the world of "Demon Slayer".

[Ding! The instance card time has reached zero. Please prepare to return!]

Just as Nalan Shengxiang was practicing the Expansion Technique with Midouzi and the others as usual, a cold, mechanical voice suddenly rang in his mind.

Nalan Sheng's expression changed slightly. He felt an invisible repulsive force coming from all directions, and then he disappeared into the Divine Might Space.

A few days later, in the city of Utan, Gama Empire.

"Whoosh!"

The void in a deserted alley suddenly distorted, and Nalan Sheng, shrouded in a black robe, walked out of the void unhurriedly.

Nalan Sheng came to Wutan City for two reasons: firstly, to steal the fragments of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, and secondly, to intercept Yao Lao.

The old alchemist has not yet recovered to his peak condition; his soul power is at most equivalent to a peak sixth-grade alchemist.

With Nalan Sheng's soul strength comparable to a seventh-grade alchemist, plus the blessing of a perfected spirit binding technique, subduing Yao Lao should be quite easy.

Nalan Sheng looked up at the moon in the sky, a faint smile curving his lips, and then quietly headed to the Xiao family.

-

Although the Xiao family also arranged for many guards to patrol at night, those guards were all weaklings at the Dou Zhe level, so naturally they could not find Nalan Sheng's whereabouts.

As for Ling Ying and Yao Lao, who were hiding in the shadows, it would be difficult for them to detect Nalan Sheng's presence without prior precautions.

After all, Nalan Sheng's Six Treasures Immortal Thief technique was not cultivated for nothing; he could perfectly conceal his aura and disguise himself as a part of nature.

Unless the old apothecary sees Nalan Sheng with his own eyes, he would only perceive him as a stone or a tree if he were to use his soul perception alone.

Soon, Nalan Sheng arrived at the courtyard where Xiao Zhan lived. He first used his Mangekyou Sharingan to control the guards outside the door, and then silently passed through the wall and entered Xiao Zhan's bedroom.

Xiao Zhan, who hadn't gone to bed yet, looked at Nalan Sheng who had suddenly appeared, and his expression changed drastically.

"Who are you? Come here—"

Just as Xiao Zhan subconsciously wanted to call for help, a red light flashed in Nalan Sheng's eyes, and he directly used illusion magic to control him.

Under the control of the illusion, Xiao Zhan obediently handed over the fragment of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade that he always carried with him to Nalan Sheng, and then turned around and went to bed.

[Ding! Host has intercepted the fragment of the Ancient Jade of Tuoshe, the male protagonist of Destiny's Destiny. Reward: 500000 Villain Points!]

After Nalan Sheng put the fragment of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade into his Divine Might Space, a pleasant system notification sounded in his ear.

[As expected of a treasure left behind by a Dou Di powerhouse, is just a fragment worth 500,000 villain points?]

Nalan Sheng hadn't expected the fragments of the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor's Jade to be so valuable. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly before leaving the place without anyone noticing.

Meanwhile, Xiao Yan, completely naked, was soaking in the bathtub as usual, using the Foundation Establishment Elixir to accelerate his cultivation.

After more than a year of arduous training, Xiao Yan's cultivation has now broken through to the ninth level of Dou Qi. In two or three months at most, he should be able to return to the Dou Zhe realm.

Seeing this, the old man who was staying at the bone inflammation treatment center nodded with a look of relief.

Once Xiao Yan's cultivation level breaks through to the One-Star Dou Zhe stage, Yao Lao can then pass on the Burning Technique to him.

Originally, Yao Lao was a little worried that Xiao Yan was unwilling to risk cultivating the Burning Technique, but with the three-year agreement that Nalan Yanran made with him, Yao Lao believed that he would definitely choose to cultivate the Burning Technique.

With only a year and a half left until the three-year agreement, even if Yao Lao teaches Xiao Yan Earth-rank cultivation techniques and fighting skills, it will be difficult for him to surpass Nalan Yanran in such a short time. Only by risking cultivating the Burning Technique can he have a chance of winning.

If Xiao Yan is lucky enough to find a suitable strange fire to refine in the next year and a half, his chances of defeating Nalan Yanran will increase by at least 30% to 40%.

Even if Xiao Yan is unlucky and can't find a suitable different fire, Yao Lao can still give him a portion of the different fire's essence from his own Bone Spirit Cold Fire to help him complete his first evolution.

"Hehehehe————"

Just as Yao Lao was secretly planning Xiao Yan's next cultivation step, a sinister laugh suddenly rang out.

"not good!"

Upon hearing that signature eerie laugh, Yao Lao's expression changed drastically. Without thinking, he unleashed the Heaven-Rank Battle Skill [Ghost Possession] and turned to flee with Xiao Yan.
