Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint-Chapter 267 - 17 Middle Grade Martial Arts, Wind Thunder Arrow Technique
Cao Mansion's front courtyard.
Cao Guangsheng remained silent for a long time before closing his eyes.
"The Cao family has surrendered!"
Seeing this, Jiang Ning waved his hand, "Take them all away!"
"Yes, sir!" Ruan Hongmei bowed in response.
At that moment,
"Jiang Ning, you will regret this! Cousin Cao Rong will avenge us..." a boy around eleven or twelve started to speak but was quickly silenced by a middle-aged woman next to him who covered his mouth with force.
Seeing Jiang Ning's gaze turned towards them,
The middle-aged woman's eyes suddenly flashed with a plea for mercy.
"Take them away!" Jiang Ning waved his hand.
Xie Xiaojiu and Ruan Hongmei immediately sprang into action.
...
Moments later,
Because Cao Guangsheng had lost the will to resist, peace quickly returned to the entire Cao Mansion.
The living had ceased their resistance and had surrendered en masse.
"Commander Jiang, mission accomplished!" Vice Officer Liu approached Jiang Ning with a group of detained people.
"Thank you, Mr. Liu!" Jiang Ning thanked him with a bow.
"No trouble at all! No trouble at all!" Vice Officer Liu chuckled, "The title of 'sir'—I dare not claim it!"
He then said, "There were some resistances from the people who climbed over the wall from the Cao family just now. In the urgency of the situation, I had to kill a few resistors. I hope Commander Jiang won't blame me?"
Jiang Ning pointed to the corpses on the ground in the front courtyard, "Master Hong has ordered that resisters shall be executed without mercy! Mr. Liu, you committed no wrong in killing them, rather, you have contributed a service!"
"No wrong, that's good!" Vice Officer Liu chuckled again.
He then glanced over the corpses in the front yard of Cao Mansion, where rain mixed with fresh blood had soaked the entire area red.
"Commander Jiang, you must be very careful of Cao Rong in the future!"
"I understand," Jiang Ning nodded slightly.
He was very clear before he set out.
Today, he led his team to raid the Cao family's residence.
In the future, Cao Rong, who was far away in Dongling City, would certainly seek revenge.
He had been psychologically prepared for this eventuality.
...
The next day,
The news of Jiang Ning's team raiding the Cao family's residence swept through Luoshui County like a storm.
Overnight, Luoshui County underwent a complete transformation.
The Cao family, after being raided, had more than two hundred remaining members who were all imprisoned in various jails throughout Luoshui County.
Under these circumstances, industries controlled by the Cao family in Luoshui County were left vacant overnight, becoming lucrative opportunities.
The Green Snake Gang, because of the fall of the Cao family, was invaded by the other two major gangs on the same day, leading to severe conflicts.
Inspection Office.
"Sir!"
Just as Jiang Ning stepped into his own residence, he saw Xie Xiaojiu who had obviously been waiting for a long time in the courtyard.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Ning asked.
Xie Xiaojiu said, "Sir, please come with me. I took some valuables from the Cao family under the cover of night yesterday."
"You're telling me this?" Jiang Ning smiled.
Xie Xiaojiu said seriously, "If it were not for your previous help, how would I, Xie Xiaojiu, have my current status today? It's only right!"
Jiang Ning smiled.
Yesterday, amid the heavy rain,
With the support of his Extraordinary Five Senses and Water Spirit Affinity,
His perception had reached an incredibly exaggerated level.
Especially since his spiritual power had broken through, he could clearly feel his perception growing further. Under such circumstances, every movement within the Cao Mansion was clear in his mind.
He was also aware of Xie Xiaojiu's secretive actions yesterday, but he chose to turn a blind eye.
Immediately,
Xie Xiaojiu led Jiang Ning to the inner hall, where she swept away the black cloth covering the table.
Instantly, a treasure chest slightly larger than a palm appeared in front of Jiang Ning.

Sparkling with pearls and the glitter of gold and silver under sunlight.
Looking at the scene before him, Jiang Ning felt moved.
Xie Xiaojiu said, "Sir, according to my estimate, there are over thirty thousand taels of silver in here. I dared not take more! Especially since Commander Ye arrived quickly last night, and there were many onlookers!"
Hearing this, Jiang Ning smiled.
Xie Xiaojiu dared not take more, but he had taken quite a bit using the opportunity.
The Sumeru Ring had been very effective last night.
Especially since he had employed the Divine Skill of Cloud Formation and Rainfall, the visibility within the entire Cao Mansion had been extremely poor.
He had used the Sumeru Ring to loot quite a lot.
By the time Ye Qiu arrived, he was not holding anything, perfectly avoiding suspicion.
However, seeing the money and wealth before him now, Jiang Ning was quite surprised.
He had roughly estimated the things he had looted last night; though they looked substantial, they amounted to just over twenty thousand taels.
The items collected by Xie Xiaojiu seemed fewer, but they were clearly very valuable gold, silver, and jewels.
Especially the jewels and gold, which were extremely valuable.
"Truly the offspring of a great family!" Jiang Ning inwardly sighed.
Then he spoke, "You take these items, liquidate them, and then hand me silver notes worth twenty thousand taels of silver. As for the rest, it's yours."
"Thank you, sir!" Xie Xiaojiu did not refuse and swiftly packed everything neatly.
At this moment, Jiang Ning was in high spirits.
Having raided the Cao family's foundation last night, he now had a solution for the Source Energy Points he desperately needed.
He then glanced at his own panel.
[Name]: Jiang Ning
[Source Energy]: 197.3
[Skills]:
Chopping Wood Blade Skill (Four times Break Limit 5000/5000) (Traits: Touch and Understand, Blade Like Wind, Handling Blade Divinely, Unity of Man and Blade)
Swimming (Four times Break Limit 5000/5000) (Traits: Underwater Breathing, Water Control Technique, Water Spirit Affinity, Cloud Formation and Rainfall)
...
Currently for him, Source Energy Points were extremely scarce.
The experience values for both Chopping Wood Blade Skill and Swimming had been full for who knows how long, and now, the only constraint was the Source Energy Points.
The fifth Break Limit for these two skills required a total of two hundred Source Energy Points.
