Chapter 108 Trading Flesh for Life.
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness!"
Lou Gao immediately said.
"I will forge the first sword as soon as possible, so that you can usher in this moment that will change the landscape of Soul Masters!"
Qian Xunji nodded. This Lou Gao was indeed a person obsessed with forging. As long as we could offer him something that could attract him, we wouldn't have to worry about not being able to subdue him!
I've also shown Lou Gao the [Divine Weapon Diagram]. This longsword that can be powered by soul power is just the simplest weapon!
With just a copy of the "Divine Weapon Compendium," Qian Xunji was able to completely control Lou Gao!
"Lou Gao, as you can see, the weapons in the [Divine Weapon Compendium] require many kinds of rare metals. While you are forging, you should also collect as many rare metals as possible."
Qianxun gave instructions.
Lou Gao, who was completely absorbed in studying the blueprints, immediately replied, "Yes, Your Highness."
Seeing this, Qian Xunji stopped bothering Lou Gao and got up to leave, but Lou Gao called out to stop her.
"Your Holiness, there is something I am unsure whether I should say!"
The building opened its doors.
Qianxun said quickly, "Since you've already spoken, then you should say it."
"The newly appointed branch master of the Spirit Hall in Gengxin City, Miles, appears to be a refined and cultured man, but he allows his subordinates to bully the people in the city."
"If this continues, I'm afraid everyone in Gengxin City will hate the Spirit Hall!"
Lou Gao thought about it for a moment, then said it anyway.
"Now that I have joined the Spirit Hall, I think I should uphold the Spirit Hall's reputation."
Qianxun quickly replied, "Alright, I understand."
After leaving the Blacksmith Association, Qian Xunji and his group continued towards the Martial Soul Branch Hall in Gengxin City. Since he had come here, he was determined to eliminate any potential threats.
Qian Xunji knew Miles, but he didn't expect Miles to take office so early and become the branch hall master now!
The Martial Soul Branch Hall.
Qian Xunji and his group were stopped by the guards as soon as they reached the door.
Yue Guan coldly retorted, "Are you blind? You dare to obstruct His Holiness the Pope!"
The guard then looked at Qian Xunji, his eyes widening in surprise. He immediately knelt down and said, "Please forgive me, Your Highness. I didn't recognize Your Highness just now. I will go and inform the Lord of the Palace right away!"
"stop!"
Qian Xunji's cold voice rang out.
The two guards were frozen in place, unable to move, and could only watch helplessly as Qian Xunji and his group walked in.
As soon as Qian Xunji and the others went upstairs, they heard the soft, melodious voices coming from inside. They knew without a doubt what Miles was doing!
With a flick of his sleeve, Yue Guan unleashed his soul power, shattering the door to pieces and revealing the scene inside.
A group of beautiful maids were happily counting soul coins, while a middle-aged man sat in the main seat—it was Miles.
Miles was enjoying himself with women on both sides, but the moment the door shattered, his eyes flashed with malice.
"who?"
"Who dares to barge in? Don't they know I'm on official business?"
Miles roared.
Yue Guan said coldly, "What a fine official business!"
Yu Yuanzhen brought over a chair, and Qian Xunji slowly sat down. After looking around, Qian Xunji said, "Miles, this place really is far from the reach of the emperor!"
"You are..."
Miles narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at Qian Xunji and the others. He suddenly pushed the maid off him and knelt down in front of Qian Xunji.
"The branch hall master of the Spirit Hall in Gengxin City greets His Holiness the Pope!"
Qian Xunji sneered, "I am deeply honored that Lord Miles recognizes me!"
"Your Holiness is too kind!" Miles exclaimed in alarm.
Qianxun said quickly, "It seems that I, the Pope, have disturbed the Palace Master. Otherwise, why would the Palace Master's body be trembling like a leaf?"
No! No!
Miles quickly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, unsure how to answer Qian Xunji.
He never imagined that the Pope of the Spirit Hall would come to Gengxin City, a place far away and full of blacksmiths...
If Qian Xunji were to fly into a rage now and severely punish Miles, Miles wouldn't be so afraid, at least he wouldn't die!
But now Qian Xunji gave a cold laugh, clearly indicating that things couldn't end peacefully. Since that was the case... the only option was to find a way to escape!
Miles composed himself and said, "Your Holiness, I've come to fetch your account books from these past years. You...you take a look..."
Seeing that Qian Xunji didn't speak, Miles carefully got up, turned around and walked inside.
Sudden.
Miles ran quickly toward the window, trying to jump out and escape, but the next moment he felt as if several mountains were pressing down on him, making him unable to move.
"Miles, can I get the ledger? No need to jump out the window, right?"
Yue Guan said coldly.
Miles was now in despair, his face pale, knowing that he was about to die!
Qianxun laughed and said, "Call everyone up."
A moment later.
Everyone from the Gengxin City Martial Soul Branch Hall gathered here. They stood there nervously, not daring to breathe. These people followed Miles, and few of them had clean hands.
"Miles oppresses the people and plunders their wealth; he's practically a local tyrant! Even I, the Pope, am no match for him!"
"You... all knew?"
Qian Xunji's gaze swept over everyone, and they all lowered their heads.
"Silence means they all know and were involved!"
Upon hearing this, everyone knelt on the ground, crying out in terror, "Please forgive us, Your Highness!"
"In that case, you can all go and keep Miles company!"
Qian Xunji's voice rang out, and everyone was enveloped in despair.
"Your Holiness, please spare my life! I only took a few gold soul coins; I'm willing to return them all!"
"I'm willing to withdraw too!"
...
Seeing that he had achieved the desired effect, Qian Xunji said, "It's not impossible for me, the Pope, to bypass you."
"But each of you must go up and cut a piece of Miles' flesh to exchange for your life!"
With a clang.
A long sword was thrown on the ground, and everyone looked at each other.
The next moment, a man stood up, took a knife, and walked towards Miles.
Knowing he was going to die, Miles no longer cared about anything else and roared, "You bastard, you lost money gambling back then, and you even took money from me to pay off your debts. Now you're turning your back on me?"
Upon hearing this, the man's expression changed, and he immediately stepped forward and cut Miles' tongue off.
Then, one person after another stood up and went forward to cut off Miles' flesh.
When Qian Xunji and his group left, Miles had been reduced to a pile of bones, his internal organs spilling out onto the ground, and everyone was holding Miles's flesh and blood in their hands.
Outside the Martial Soul Branch Hall.
Qian Xunji said coldly, "Yue Guan, arrange for someone to come and take over as soon as possible. After the transition is smooth, kill everyone here without leaving a single one alive!"
"Understood!" Yue Guan replied immediately.
