Golden Creek City, within the Governor's Mansion.
The Eighth Prince was in charge of the Governor's Mansion, but his heart was burning with anxiety.
"Nine groups have failed. There is only one group left. I have already made a request to the Imperial Family. They will send troops over as soon as possible," the Eighth Prince said in a low voice.
He, the Eighth Prince, had vowed that he would be able to eliminate the rebels and restore peace to the Golden Creek Region. But now, in just a few days, nine out of ten groups had already failed.
There was only one group left, and the eighth prince felt extremely humiliated. This matter would affect his position among the princes.
But there was nothing he could do now.
"I wonder what happened to the last group," the Eighth Prince said softly.
At this moment, Fang Chen and the others in the last group were escorting the leader of the rebels and rushing towards the Golden Creek City.
After a night of walking, they finally passed through a mountain range. Once they were out of the mountain range, they would be able to see the Golden Creek City.
At this moment, Fang Chen and the others were walking in front, while the four disciples of the Sky Fiend Palace followed behind them.
The four disciples of the Sky Fiend King Mansion looked at each other and nodded their heads.
In the next moment, the four disciples suddenly launched a powerful attack. The four people's attacks all gathered on Fang Chen's body.
Rumble …
With a loud sound, Fang Chen was caught off guard and was sent flying by the combined attacks of the four disciples.
"Cough cough!"
Fang Chen fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was pale.
"You …"
The five disciples of the Protector King's Mansion reacted instantly. Their faces were filled with anger, and they wanted to speak, but it was too late.
"Kill them all."
The four disciples of the Sky Fiend Palace said coldly. Immediately, the four of them exploded with tyrannical strength. Three disciples of the Sixth Level of the Qi Transformation Realm and one disciple of the Fifth Level of the Qi Transformation Realm killed the five disciples of the Protector King's Mansion in an instant.
"I hate you."
The disciples of the Protector King's Mansion were furious before they died. They did not expect that there would be a traitor among them.
Crack!
When the last disciple of the Protector King's Mansion was killed, they turned to look at Fang Chen's body. They wanted to confirm whether or not Fang Chen was dead.
However, to their surprise, there was not even a shadow on the ground. There was only some blood.
"Damn it, he can't have escaped far. Let's chase after him." The four disciples of the Heaven Fiend Royal Palace said sternly.
One of the disciples guarded the rebel leader while the other three chased after Fang Chen.
At that moment, Fang Chen's heart was filled with rage. However, he was severely injured and had no way of fighting against the four disciples of the Heaven Fiend Mansion. Even if he released the four captains, they might not be a match for them. Hence, Fang Chen decisively chose to escape.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Although Fang Chen was injured, his speed was very fast. In a short while, he had escaped far away.
However, Fang Chen did not relax and continued to move forward quickly. After a while, Fang Chen discovered that the disciples of the Heaven Fiend Royal Palace were chasing after him. He increased his speed again.
However, at that moment, Fang Chen discovered that a valley had appeared in front of him. This valley was filled with demonic beasts.
"Run!"
Fang Chen did not hesitate and rushed into the valley.
Suddenly, the demonic beasts roared in the valley. When the disciples of the Heaven Fiend Royal Palace arrived, they discovered that the demonic beasts were enraged.
"Fang Chen has entered the valley." One of the disciples said.
"That must be it. He must have angered the demonic beasts. He must have been killed by them."
"Should we go in and take a look?"
In the end, the three disciples chose to leave because they discovered that there were Qi Transformation Seventh Realm demonic beasts in the valley. They felt a sense of danger.
"Fang Chen has entered the valley. He will definitely die." The disciples of the Heaven Fiend Royal Palace said.
When they returned, they met up with another disciple and escorted the leader of the rebels back to Golden Creek City.
When the Eighth Prince found out that the four of them had returned to Golden Creek City, he personally came to welcome them.
"Eighth Prince, the information was wrong. The strength of the rebels in Sky Cliff City exceeded our expectations. However, we still managed to capture the leader of the rebels." The disciple of the Heaven Fiend Royal Palace said.
Hearing this, the Eighth Prince's face finally revealed a trace of a smile.
"Good, very good. I did not expect you to actually capture the leader of the rebels." The Eighth Prince's face was full of smiles.
"When we return to the Imperial Capital, I will definitely reward you handsomely." The Eighth Prince said.
Out of the ten groups, nine had been destroyed. Only their group had not been destroyed and had even captured the leader of the rebels. This made the Eighth Prince very happy.
The Eighth Prince did not even ask about the situation of the others. He only praised the four disciples of the Heaven Fiend Royal Palace.
Three days after receiving the news from the Eighth Prince, the Imperial Family of Shengfeng Country sent an army to Golden Creek County.
The first thing they did when they arrived at Golden Creek County was to exterminate the rebels. The strength of the army was too strong. Everywhere they went, the rebels in the cities were all killed.
In just one day's time, all ten cities had been taken back. The rebels this time had infuriated the royal family. Therefore, the experts that were sent out this time were very tyrannical.
The only regrettable thing was that some of the disciples of the various Royal Palaces were completely annihilated.
The Imperial Family had successfully taken control of Golden Creek County. The Eighth Prince returned to the Imperial Capital under the protection of many guards.
At this moment, at the border between Shengfeng Country and another country, there was a thatched cottage in a dark forest.
Outside the thatched cottage, a man with disheveled hair was sitting cross-legged.
"Boss, Golden Creek County is under the control of the Imperial Family. Our men are all dead." A subordinate reminded him in a low voice.
The man with disheveled hair nodded slightly and said in a hoarse voice, "Our current strength is not enough to fight against the Imperial Family. It is merely Golden Creek County. Our goal was never Golden Creek County in the first place."
After saying that, the man with disheveled hair turned around and looked behind the thatched cottage. There were dozens of young cultivators in the open space behind the thatched cottage. They were the disciples of the various Royal Palaces who had followed the Eighth Prince here.
"With these hostages, we can negotiate with those so-called Royal Palaces." The man with disheveled hair laughed sinisterly.
Everything in Golden Creek County was a conspiracy. The reason why they showed weakness was to make the Imperial Family lower their guard. This way, they would be able to capture so many young disciples.
After the Imperial Family took control of Golden Creek County, the Iron Blood Legion protected Golden Creek County. The commoners of Golden Creek County cheered.
In a valley not far from Golden Creek City, Fang Chen was lying on a large rock with injuries all over his body. He had almost died.
"Damn it!"
Fang Chen couldn't help cursing. After a few days of recovery, he could finally move his body. However, he still couldn't stand up.
That day, Fang Chen resolutely entered the valley. Facing countless demonic beasts, Fang Chen was lucky. He found a very tall rock that was almost hanging in the air.
Fang Chen asked the four captains to bring him to the rock. Although the demonic beasts in the valley were furious, they couldn't do anything about it.
"Bastards of the Sky Fiend Royal Palace, I will not let you off." Fang Chen said coldly.
What followed was a long period of recovery.
After a month, Fang Chen's injuries had completely healed. After tossing and turning, he finally returned to the Imperial Capital.
The first thing Fang Chen did when he returned to the Imperial Capital was to find the Heavenly Pill Hall.
In a hidden courtyard in the Heavenly Pill Hall, Grandmaster Tianhe was chatting with Fang Chen.
"Brother Fang, where have you been these days? I couldn't find you even if I wanted to." Grandmaster Tianhe's face was full of smiles.
In more than a month, the Heavenly Pill Hall had successfully occupied the elixir market in the Divine Wind Nation. Even the Elixir Dispensary was helpless.
Although the Elixir Dispensary had also launched a soul tempering elixir, it was nothing compared to the two elixirs from the Heavenly Pill Hall.
In the end, people still bought the elixirs from the Heavenly Pill Hall crazily and neglected the elixirs from the Elixir Dispensary.
As a result, the Elixir Dispensary lost a lot of money.
In the end, the higher-ups of the Elixir Dispensary made a decision to cooperate with the Heavenly Pill Hall.
It wasn't just the Elixir Dispensary. Some other elixir organizations also sent their higher-ups to contact the Heavenly Pill Hall.
In the end, a few elixir organizations reached an agreement and decided to cooperate.
The Heavenly Pill Hall could provide two types of elixirs to the Elixir Dispensary and the other elixir organizations, but the profits had to be split in half.
Although the Heavenly Pill Hall demanded an exorbitant price, the Elixir Dispensary and the other organizations had no choice but to agree.
Because of the two types of soul tempering elixirs, the Heavenly Pill Hall had already surpassed the Elixir Dispensary and become the strongest organization in the Divine Wind Nation's elixir industry.
If Fang Chen had said this to Grandmaster Tianhe more than a month ago, Grandmaster Tianhe wouldn't have believed him. But now, everything had become a reality.
"How's the elixir sales?" Fang Chen asked.
"The sales of the Soul Tempering Pills and Soul Concentrating Pills are very high, and the supply can't meet the demand. In just one month, we've earned more Spirit Stones than we've earned in the past year. The entire elixir industry has gone crazy. Even a big force like the Elixir Pavilion has come to cooperate with us." Master Tianhe grinned.
Then, Grandmaster Tianhe handed Fang Chen a Space Ring.
"We agreed to split the profits fifty-fifty. These are the Spiritual Stones that you deserve," Grandmaster Tianhe said.
Fang Chen opened the Space Ring and casually checked its contents. He was instantly shocked. There were a total of one billion Spiritual Stones inside. Moreover, they were all Spiritual Stones of medium grade.
"How can there be so many?" Fang Chen was shocked.
"These two types of elixirs are too popular. The profits during this time are too high."
Grandmaster Tianhe explained the current situation of the Divine Wind Nation's elixir market to Fang Chen. Fang Chen finally understood.
"So that's how it is." Fang Chen put away the Spiritual Stones.
One billion Spiritual Stones. An ordinary cultivator wouldn't be able to see that many Spiritual Stones in their lifetime.
