Immortal God of War-Chapter 148: Blood Carnage Order_1

Seeing things were looking bad, the two men decisively turned around. With a few leaps, they landed behind the crowd and fled without looking back.

"Thinking of leaving? Not so easily!"

Elder Qu was furious, his overwhelming aura flaring as he pursued them!

Fatty patted his chest, still shaken. "That was close. Good thing we noticed something was off about them early on and stayed alert. Otherwise, we’d be done for this time."

Lu Hong was also deeply unnerved.

Fatty frowned. "What’s taking Chief Li from the Treasure Pavilion so long?"

Lu Hong said, "Staying here makes me uneasy. Let’s hurry back. If Chief Li arrives and doesn’t see us, he’ll naturally go to Quiet Heart Lake."

"Sounds good."

Fatty nodded. But just as they turned around, two men in black suddenly sprang from the crowd. Each held a three-foot-long sharp sword, its edge glinting coldly as they thrust them toward Fatty and Lu Hong’s backs!

"There are more of them!"

Fatty and Lu Hong’s expressions changed drastically.

It wasn’t just one group of assailants, but two!

The sharp blades aimed for their backs!

Neither of them had time to dodge!

SWOOSH!!

At the critical moment, two dazzling streams of Battle Intent flashed through the air like lightning, piercing the backs of the two men in black’s heads.

"AAARGH!!"

With dreadful screams, the two men collapsed on the spot into pools of their own blood.

"Huh?"

Fatty and Lu Hong were startled and quickly turned to see an old man with white hair flying towards them through the air from the distance.

Looking back at the two men in black, they were already dead.

They exchanged a glance, eyes filled with horror, their bodies drenched in cold sweat.

Fatty walked over and turned the two men over. They were also middle-aged, but their faces were unfamiliar; he had never seen them before.

Like a divine light, the white-haired old man landed before Fatty and Lu Hong.

Fatty hurriedly asked, "Senior, are you Chief Li from the Treasure Pavilion?"

"Indeed, I am."

Chief Li nodded.

Fatty complained, "What took you so long? We’ve been waiting for ages and nearly got ourselves killed."

"My apologies. I’ve been very busy recently. If one of my subordinates hadn’t rushed over to remind me, I would have forgotten."

Chief Li’s face was full of apology. He showed none of a War Emperor’s arrogance, only humility and amicability.

Forgotten?

Fatty was speechless.

Chief Li looked down, glanced at the two men in black, and his brow furrowed instantly.

Fatty asked, "Senior, do you recognize them?"

"Never seen them before."

Chief Li shook his head.

"Even you haven’t seen them?" Fatty exclaimed in surprise.

Chief Li shook his head and chuckled. "There are millions of people in Yan City. How could I possibly have the time to recognize each and every one of them? Besides, these two men were just Martial Ancestors."

「Right at this moment.」

Elder Qu returned, his face contorted with anger. Seeing Chief Li, he hurriedly cupped his fists and said, "Greetings, Chief Li." Before Chief Li could respond, Elder Qu looked at the two dead men in black and asked in surprise, "What happened here?"

Fatty explained, "They also came to assassinate us. Fortunately, Chief Li arrived just in time and saved our lives."

"Bastards!"

Elder Qu was seething with uncontrollable rage.

Lu Hong asked, "Elder Qu, what about the two War Kings?"

"I couldn’t keep up with them, nor did I get a clear look at their faces."

Elder Qu seemed rather vexed.

"Then do you recognize these two?" Fatty pointed to the men lying on the ground.

Elder Qu examined the two, thought hard for a moment, then shook his head. "No recollection. But you two should have guessed which power they belong to, right?"

Fatty sneered, "Who else could it be but the Elixir King Palace?"

Chief Li shook his head. "No, even if the Elixir King Palace sent people to kill you, they wouldn’t send two separate groups, nor would they dispatch two Martial Ancestors just to be sacrificed."

"Senior, are you saying they aren’t part of the same group?" Lu Hong asked doubtfully.

Chief Li said, "They’re definitely not from the same group. But as for which force they belong to, I daren’t make a rash judgment. By the way, where is that young fellow, Jian Haotian?"

Fatty grinned. "Brother Jian is in seclusion. He asked us to deliver the medicinal pills to you. Brother Jian also wanted me to ask you, how much does one Image Crystal Stone cost?"

"Well..."

Chief Li pondered for a moment before asking, "How many does he want?"

"Five," Fatty answered.

"So many!"

Chief Li was stunned, then said with a wry smile, "Five, all at once? He really has more money than he knows what to do with."

Fatty gloated, "Hehe, right now, if there’s one thing my Boss has plenty of, it’s money."

"Er..."

Chief Li looked momentarily stunned, then shook his head with a chuckle. "Alright, since we know each other so well, I won’t quote an exorbitant price. One Image Crystal Stone, I’ll charge him five million Gold Coins."

"What?"

Fatty staggered back, startled.

Five million for one?

So expensive?

Wouldn’t five of them cost twenty-five million?

Lu Hong was also dumbfounded.

Although they knew Image Crystal Stones were expensive, they hadn’t expected them to be *this* outrageously expensive.

"Twenty-five million... for that young fellow Jian Haotian, that shouldn’t be much, right?" Chief Li chuckled.

Fatty’s face twitched, and he said with an embarrassed laugh, "That might actually be a bit difficult. Could you make it a little cheaper?"

"I can’t. Five million is already a friendship price. Any cheaper, and I’d be taking a loss." Chief Li shook his head.

Lu Hong asked, "Then, how much can one Top Grade Vermilion Glazed Pill be auctioned for?"

"Hmm..."

Chief Li thought for a moment and shook his head. "It hasn’t been auctioned before, so I don’t know for now. But the price will certainly be substantial."

Lu Hong took out an iron box, handed it to Chief Li, and said with a gentle smile, "Here are ten Top Grade Vermilion Glazed Pills. Five are for you. As for the other five, Jian Haotian hopes you can help auction them off."

Chief Li quickly took the iron box and opened it. His old eyes suddenly gleamed with a brilliant light.

Lu Hong added, "Jian Haotian also said that after the auction, the proceeds should be directly exchanged for Image Crystal Stones."

Chief Li smiled. "No problem, I’ll arrange it in the next few days."

While they were talking, Elder Qu was squatting on the ground, searching the bodies of the two men.

HUH!

Suddenly, his eyes widened in surprise as he pulled out two blood-red Tokens from inside their robes!

On the front of both Tokens, three large, scarlet characters were engraved!

—Blood Butcher Token!

On the reverse side was a hideous, grinning skull, looking particularly sinister!

When Chief Li noticed, he hurriedly said, "Quickly, let me see."

Elder Qu immediately handed one to him.

Chief Li put away the iron box, took one of the blood-red Tokens, examined it carefully for a moment, then frowned. "Strange. How is it that I’ve never heard of any ’Blood Butcher Token’?"

Fatty asked, "Could there be a hidden, mysterious force in Yan Province?"

"That’s impossible." Chief Li stated. "The Royal House, the Treasure Pavilion, the Elixir King Palace, the Martial King Palace—their influence permeates every corner of Yan Province. If there truly were such a mysterious force, it definitely wouldn’t escape our notice."

"I’ll take this Token with me and investigate it for you when I have time," Chief Li said with a smile.

"Thank you, Senior." Fatty and Lu Hong bowed in thanks.

SWISH!

Chief Li soared into the air, transforming into a streak of brilliant light, and swiftly departed.

Fatty retracted his gaze, glanced at the other Token in Elder Qu’s hand, and said with a smile, "Elder, could you give me that Blood Butcher Token? I want to take it to Brother Jian for him to see."

Elder Qu tossed it to him. "After you’re done, take it to Elder Wan and Elder Ji so they can take a look too."

"Alright."

Fatty nodded, caught the Blood Butcher Token, then looked up at the still-shaken crowd outside the gate and shouted, "Alright everyone, disperse! Come back next month!"

"Master Fatty, can you tell us why Jian Haotian is giving us medicinal pills for free?"

"Yes, there’s no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Does he have some ulterior motive?"

Someone in the crowd asked, followed by another. These were spies from the various major powers.

Fatty’s eyebrow twitched. He said angrily, "You people truly judge a gentleman by your own petty standards! Let me tell you, Brother Jian is doing this purely out of kindness. If you continue to harbor such suspicions, then from this day forward, the distribution of medicinal pills will be canceled!"

As soon as he said this, the few who had asked questions immediately became targets of public condemnation. Everyone else glared at them furiously.

"Don’t cancel it!"

"We were wrong."

"We’ll never doubt him again."

The few individuals hurriedly apologized.

They knew it was no laughing matter. Doubting Jian Haotian now was equivalent to making an enemy of the entire city. Even though they were backed by major powers, they didn’t dare make enemies of everyone present.

HMPH!

Fatty snorted coldly, then turned and strode off with Lu Hong.

In truth, they didn’t know Qin Feiyang’s purpose either.

Thus, the spies from the major powers were doomed to return empty-handed.

「Back at Quiet Heart Lake.」

Lu Hong resumed her cultivation, while Fatty entered the ancient castle to report everything to Qin Feiyang.

When Fatty mentioned the Blood Butcher Token, Qin Feiyang was also quite surprised. He took the Token from Fatty’s hand and examined it repeatedly for a while.

But in his memory, he simply couldn’t find any information related to the Blood Butcher Token.

As Qin Feiyang pondered, he asked, "What about Lu Hong? How did she react?"

"When she took out those ten Top Grade Vermilion Glazed Pills, I didn’t see any sign of greed on her face. She should be trustworthy, right?" Fatty said.

Qin Feiyang shook his head. "We cannot let our guard down. We need to continue observing her."

"You can count on me!" Fatty declared, patting his chest. He then rubbed his hands together with a cheeky grin. "Brother Jian, didn’t you say last time you were going to give me a perfect Martial Arts Technique?"

Qin Feiyang rolled his eyes at him. "Go prepare two bamboo slips."

"Thank you, Brother Jian! You’re too good to me! How about I pledge myself to you in return?" Fatty was ecstatic.

"Don’t!"

"Stay away from me!"

Qin Feiyang quickly pushed him away, breaking out in goosebumps.

Fatty chuckled, took out two bamboo slips, along with ink and a brush, and neatly placed them beside the iron book.

The Martial Arts Techniques Qin Feiyang gave to Fatty were also the Heart Locking Kill Fist and the Return to Origin Step.

After receiving the Martial Arts Techniques, Fatty joyfully took the Blood Butcher Token and went to find Elder Wan and Elder Ji.

Blood Butcher Token...

Elixir King Palace...

Is there some connection between the two?

Qin Feiyang fell into deep thought.

「Elixir King Palace.」

「Council Hall.」

Two burly, middle-aged men stood trembling before Jia Hei.

Jia Hei glared at them, his entire being radiating a vicious aura. He roared, "You are War Kings, yet you couldn’t even kill two mere Martial Masters! Aren’t you ashamed of yourselves?"

The two men trembled and hurriedly said, "Elder, please give us another chance. We definitely won’t fail again."

Jia Hei said, "Alright, I’ll give you one more chance. If you succeed, you will be the next Law Enforcement Elders. But if you fail, I will personally slaughter you!"

"And while you’re at it, investigate the background of that other group," he added.

The two exchanged a look, their eyes filled with ecstatic joy. They bowed deeply to Jia Hei, then turned and departed swiftly.
