Under One Person, your rebellious life has reached the heavens?

You Sha asked softly, and at this moment she was probably certain that Jiang Mo would not kill her again, and she felt a great weight lifted from her heart.

"very good."

"Let's see him off." Jiang Mo's words decided Xia Liuqing's fate.

"At your service."

The veil created new transparent cubes that enveloped Xia Liuqing's body, continuously compressing them until they were only the size of a palm. Inside the transparent cubes were squeezed and deformed flesh and blood.

Xia Liuqing, the vicious and ruthless thug, is dead.

Will's breathing became slightly rapid. Now, three prisoners were dead, and the gold had been given as tribute. Only his whereabouts remained to be determined.

Before Jiang Mo could speak, he preemptively offered his allegiance and took the initiative to show goodwill:

“I also have value. I control hundreds of disease factors and a lot of curses and witchcraft. If I can keep me alive, I can clear many obstacles for you.”

"Is this all true?"

Jiang Mo raised an eyebrow and asked, since he had spared the woman who practiced magic, he didn't mind letting this half-human, half-beast creature live.

“My life and death are entirely in your control. If you kill me now, the value and benefit will be minimal. You might as well do as I say and let me solve some troubles for you.”

Will adopted a very humble attitude; he had done everything he could.

"Let me make a deal with you."

Upon hearing these brief words, Will's heart skipped a beat, as if he had grasped a lifeline, and he quickly said, "Go on."

"Soon, there will be a second, and even a third, wave of assassins attacking the mountain."

Jiang Mo stated his demands: "Prove to me your abilities, prove that you have the right to live and be used by me."

"Kill twenty people and you can live."

Will took a deep breath, visibly moved, and pressed on, "How many of them are there?"

Jiang Mo used the number of people in the Sinful Sands as an example to make a calculation: "There are about thirty or forty people in each batch. You can hunt them down at will, and the head count will be the same for both the strong and the weak."

"it is good......"

When Will learned that there were more than sixty prey, his heart was finally at ease. His initial worry was that the number of those mountain raiders was too small, and he would not be able to gather twenty heads.

"Where should I wait?"

Will was still recovering from his injuries and wanted to use the time to heal and regain his remaining strength to increase his chances of survival. He was confident that he could complete the mission if he was in full strength.

"Go outside."

Jiang Mo waved his hand, signaling him to step back.

Will wisely left the library. Soon after, under You Sha's control, another transparent cube was opened, and instantly, a mountain of densely packed gold was revealed.

"Please check it."

Jiang Mo's gaze swept over the gold scattered on the ground, and he said indifferently:

"That's enough. Whether we check it or not, we might not use it all in the short term."

"How should I address you?" You Sha asked respectfully.

“Jiang Mo, this is my senior brother Sichong and my junior nephew Chengzhen. When you see them in the future, it will be as if you are seeing me.”

Hearing his order, the woman paused for a moment, then said, "You Sha, that is my name. I am willing to serve you."

Chapter 138 Turn it into your own use

Chengzhen and Sichong were stunned by the gold scattered all over the ground. They should know that in the past, those who sought favors from the Sanyi Sect, even if they were generous, would only give about a thousand taels of gold, which was far less than this harvest.

"Senior brother, once this matter is settled, we will have to trouble you to go down the mountain and find some craftsmen to repair the sect's stone steps and gate."

Jiang Mo frowned slightly as he recalled the rudimentary training conditions his disciples had endured, and then continued:

"The shooting range and training ground on the back mountain should also be renovated, with buildings constructed to provide shelter from the wind and rain. Additionally, medicines, weapons, and some new clothes should be purchased. There's no need to be frugal in the expenses for training disciples; people are the priority, and everything is worthwhile."

"Alright, leave it to me, I will take care of it for you."

Si Chong kept this firmly in mind. Holding a gleaming gold bar, he was filled with emotion. Suddenly, he remembered that he only prepared clothes for his disciples during festivals. He decided to go down the mountain in a while and pick out some nice clothes to bring back.

The gold bars were scattered everywhere, making the space cramped. Jiang Mo thought You Sha's storage method was quite good, so he asked:

"How many transparent cubes can you make at once? I need to store this gold separately."

"I haven't calculated it carefully."

Yu Sha's amber eyes revealed a confusion she herself hadn't noticed, and she parted her lips slightly to say:

"It depends on the purpose. If it's just for storing items, it won't take much effort."

"Oh? So, are the transparent cubes you crafted disposable?"

Jiang Mo recalled the Devouring Pouch of the Heavenly Craft Hall, which was a magical artifact used to store items. He had seen it in his early years, but unfortunately missed it because he was penniless. Otherwise, it would have been much more convenient when he traveled around the world.

Now that he cultivates the Heavenly Kingdom, he can store items at any time, so he naturally doesn't need the transparent cube. But it's different for the other disciples. If they had such an item to assist them, they wouldn't need to carry any luggage wherever they go, which would surely make things much easier.

You Sha gently spread her five fingers on her right hand, and gradually transparent white lines slowly emerged, intersecting and arranging themselves in spatial order until they formed a complete cube.

"There are one-time and permanent options, and the amount of effort required is about ten times greater."

Her slender, pale fingers pressed against the opposite corner of the cube, slowly moving in and out.

Suddenly, the transparent cube rapidly enlarged, accommodating one-tenth of the gold.

"Is it enough?"

Jiang Mo: "Make more, divide these squares into five parts."

You Sha quickly produced five transparent cubes, each two inches long, and handed them to Jiang Mo in less than a few minutes. From the outside, the gold in the center area, now shrunk, could be clearly seen.

How do I solve this?

Chengzhen vaguely sensed that the blocks were like a barrier, extremely sturdy. When Jiang Mo gave him two blocks, he was particularly surprised to find that they were as light as a feather.

Like Chong, who was also given two cubes, the old man kept looking at this novel thing and marveling at it.

"There are two methods. One is to break them open by brute force. These transparent cubes are essentially air compressed to a certain degree. Then, through magical incantations, they are twisted into new space. As long as the blessing attached to the surface of the cube is destroyed, it can be restored to its original state."

"Secondly, by placing the thumb and middle finger at any diagonal vertices and applying slight force, the effect of hoarding can be amplified and eliminated."

After You Sha's demonstration, Si Chong and Cheng Zhen immediately learned how to use it, while Jiang Mo threw the last block directly into the Heavenly Kingdom.

"Senior Brother, Chengzhen, from now on, the sect's savings will be managed by the two of you. You may use them at your leisure to benefit the sect members."

Chengzhen dared not betray this trust and nodded in reply, "Understood, Uncle-Master."

"Alright, please rest assured, junior brother."

Si Chong was also filled with excitement. Not long ago, he was worried that the sect's savings would be depleted and he didn't know how to discuss countermeasures with his junior brother. But unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better, and he suddenly felt confident and no longer worried about the operation of the sect.

Jiang Mo looked at You Sha, curious about her methods of extracting memories, and asked about their origin.

"That's 'mental invasion,' something I'm born with. I can sense other people's emotions and make corresponding judgments about whether to invade their brains to control them, extract their memories, or damage their nerves."

Are there any restrictions on its use?

“No.” You Sha shook her head slightly, but said regretfully, “It’s a basic ability. I developed and perfected it a long time ago, but I didn’t spend much effort on it. My main skill is magic.”

"Hmm...similar to your Eastern sorcerers."

Si Chong couldn't help but feel a little envious: "A naturally gifted person? Then it seems that his talent is indeed quite good."

In the martial arts world, extraordinary individuals are divided into those with innate abilities and those with acquired abilities. The ratio between the two is extremely exaggerated. For example, a major sect like the Sanyi Sect has not had a disciple with innate awakened abilities for decades.

So-called innate extraordinary people, compared with the masses and those persistent people who cannot cultivate Qi, are all favored by the heavens.

"So, how many assassins like you, who have possessed supernatural abilities since birth, are there in your 'Deep Sea'?"

You Sha looked at Jiang Mo and answered his question:

"I don't know... I don't have much contact with people in the deep sea. Strictly speaking, assassination is not our only business."

"In the end, we are just a bunch of homeless people who are unable to establish ourselves in our own country and are forced to flee for various reasons."

"Your area is currently in the midst of war, and with its vast territory, it is the perfect place to seek refuge."

"what have you done?"

Jiang Mo knew from the beginning that You Sha and Wei Er were both freaks in some sense. Their methods and strength were unmatched even in the martial arts world, and they were more than qualified to be the leaders of an assassination force like the Sinful Sand.

"Although I'm a little reluctant, I don't mind telling you since you asked."

Long-forgotten memories were stirred up, and many years had passed in the blink of an eye. She calmly recounted the reason:

"I once studied magic and alchemy at a certain academy, and without the permission of my mentor, who was the vice dean of the academy, I made unauthorized contact with 'black magic,' which was listed as taboo."

"Later... well, I was expelled and had nowhere to go, so I ended up in your country."

"Dark magic?" Jiang Mo frowned slightly. Even a disciple with such high talent as You Sha was expelled from a foreign academy. The mistake she made must have been no less than a heresy.

"Correct."

"Black magic is just a general term; in reality, it has many categories, such as chaotic life, undead skeletons, sources of plague, and so on."

You Sha was somewhat moved, whether from regret or relief, she smiled bitterly:

"Due to its extremely high level of danger, it was taboo in the academy. What I craved back then was 'the remains of the dead,' but I failed."

"It seems you're lucky to have left your academy alive without being grounded for life."

Jiang Mo showed no sympathy for her plight.

After all, she chose this path herself. Like the taboos of a sect, after joining, the master will usually mention the consequences of contact. If she doesn't take precautions, she will have to bear all the suffering that comes with it.

"I guess so. I've almost completely forgotten the magic I learned at the academy."

"After leaving there, I lost the cage of knowledge, but gained a wider and more wonderful world."

You Sha smiled calmly. She felt quite good about her current situation. At least her life was not in danger. As long as she was alive, there was still the possibility of continuing to explore the world and study magic.

"Alright, you can go down now to recover from your injuries and also to craft permanent blocks for storing items."

"How many do you need? How much storage space do you need? Generally, the larger the size, the harder it is to refine."

You Sha did not refuse; for her, it was just a matter of expending some energy.

"Fourteen, each three meters long and wide."

Jiang Mo mentioned that the requirements were similar to those for the transparent cubes used to store gold.

"If another assassin attacks this place, do I need to take action like Will did?" You Sha looked at Jiang Mo, waiting for his reply.

"Just refine your blocks."

"Okay, then I'll take my leave."

You Sha bowed slightly to the three of them, then left without lingering.

Jiang Mo took out the Qi Diagram again, hovered it in the air, and observed the situation around the mountain gate. Everything was still calm and peaceful. Yingzhu and Wan Nian Shou's people did not show up.

"Uncle-Master, that woman's skills are truly remarkable. The cubes she crafts are in no way inferior to the Devouring Pouches of the Heavenly Craft Hall. If they were to circulate outside, they would surely attract a frenzy of bidding from all sides."

Chengzhen looked at the transparent cube on the table, and tried to grip it with her five fingers several times, but found it to be indestructible.

"So, are you going to imprison them in the mountains, or release them?"

"Let's keep them here for a while. These two are from overseas and will be useful in the future. Find them two rooms."

“If they dare to leave the mountain without my permission, they will be buried.”

Jiang Mo said dismissively that he was not good at managing people. In his eyes, Will and You Sha were just tools. As long as they cooperated and worked for him, he would not make things difficult for them. If they were not easy to use, he would simply kill them.

"This disciple understands. Should we then grant them official status? After all, the other disciples will eventually see them residing within the sect."

Chengzhen was worried that his junior brothers might get into a conflict with Weier and Yousha and suffer losses.

“That’s right, junior brother. They have now been subdued by you and become our sect’s weapons. They still need to be given official recognition,” Si Chong suggested in the interjection.

He and Chengzhen were confident they could subdue the two, but the younger disciples, whose cultivation was still shallow, could not suppress the monster's ferocity.

"A title, huh...?"

After a moment's consideration, Jiang Mo said, "Then let's appoint You Sha as the sect's protector. As for Weir, if he passes my test and beheads twenty assassins, he can also be appointed as a protector. At that time, we will advise the disciples not to hate them."

"After all, such loyal dogs with outstanding abilities are rare. As long as we make full use of their value and keep them in the sect, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks."

"In addition, running a sect will always involve some tedious matters. You two don't need to do it personally. Just focus on cultivation and let them handle the rest."
