ACSP: Chapter 125: The Eight-Tails Gyuki Appears; The Entire City is His Ritual Range!
"Who do you think you are, daring to talk big here? Jiang Chen must die today. Even if Jesus comes, it won't help. I said so..."
Hearing Cai Kun say he wanted to protect Jiang Chen, Chen Chuxi stood forward angrily before Qin Hao could even speak.
However, before she could finish, Qin Hao glared her back with a look.
"Damn it, when did it become your turn to speak? Next time I'm talking, you'd better shut up, or don't blame me for being heartless."
Qin Hao withdrew his gaze and looked at Cai Kun again, saying in a deep voice, "That Jiang Chen killed two of my subordinates before. He must die today. You'd better change your condition."
Cai Kun curled his lips and smiled, "I don't care about that. Anyway, Jiang Chen just promised me that he would arrange a 100,000-person concert for me. Before he fulfills his promise, I can't let him die."
Hearing this reason, the corner of Qin Hao's mouth twitched twice.
"It's just a 100,000-person concert. After killing Jiang Chen, I'll organize it for you."
"No, I have a principle. Promises made to others must be kept."
As Cai Kun spoke, he walked over to the heavily injured Lei Li, then pointed at him and said, "This guy scolded me just now. I don't mind if you kill him. How about you kill him first today, and after my concert ends in a couple of days, you come back to kill Jiang Chen?"
Lei Li:???
"Are you playing with me?"
Qin Hao looked at Cai Kun intensely, killing intent filling his eyes. "Don't think that just because you are the Eight-Tails' Perfect Jinchuriki, I'll be afraid of you..."
Cai Kun spread his hands. "So, there's no room for negotiation?"
"Negotiate my foot! Kill him!"
As Qin Hao's words fell, Ronan, Yang Ke, and the others who had come with him immediately moved.
"Want to kill me? I'm afraid you don't have the ability..."
Cai Kun took a step forward, and eight massive octopus tentacles instantly erupted from his body.
In the blink of an eye...
...a monster with the head of a bull and the body of an octopus suddenly rose from the ground, appearing directly atop the ruins of Puppet City.
Terrifying Tailed Beast Chakra spread out like a tsunami, knocking back Ronan and the others.
...
Time went back to a few minutes ago.
Deep underground in Puppet City.
After following Li Dala through a winding downward tunnel, Jiang Chen finally arrived at Puppet City's underground resource warehouse.
This underground warehouse was very spacious, covering an area at least as large as two football fields.
It felt comparable to the Puppet City on the surface.
Compared to the warehouse in the City Lord's Mansion of Jinghai City, this place was worlds apart.
However, what surprised Jiang Chen the most wasn't this.
It was the materials stored here.
Shuriken, Kunai, Space Scrolls, and explosive tags were piled up in crate after crate.
Rare and precious metals used for making puppets were visible everywhere, filling almost half of the underground warehouse.
There were also quite a few skill books.
"Damn, with so much stuff, even using Space Scrolls, it would take half a day to pack it all..."
Looking at the dense mass of materials before him, Jiang Chen felt what it meant to be filthy rich for the first time.
"Jiang Chen, come over and look at this..."
Just then, Li Dala's voice suddenly came from nearby.
Jiang Chen followed the sound and saw Li Dala standing in front of a 'mountain' of piled-up treasure chests.
The treasure chests here were stacked in vast clusters.
There were at least hundreds of thousands, maybe even more.
Although most were Bronze Chests...
...there were also many Silver Chests among them.
If one looked closely, they could even occasionally spot a few Golden Chests shimmering with golden light.
"Damn, I'm really going to strike it rich this time."
Jiang Chen was ecstatic.
He could now open 20 treasure chests a day.
Although when he ran dungeons with Li Yanran and the others, they would give him their Silver Chests in the end...
...intermediate secret realms were too time-consuming.
For example, the previous [Forest of Death] secret realm, because it had two stages of missions...
Clearing one run would take at least ten hours or more.
If luck was on his side, a single Secret Realm might yield ten Silver Chests.
But that would barely sustain his daily chest-opening quota, and he'd have to grind Secret Realms all day like a beast of burden.
If his luck was a bit worse...
If he couldn't get ten Silver Chests from one run, he'd even have to dip into his own savings every day.
Resources in Jinghai City were already scarce to begin with.
It simply couldn't provide for his future daily needs.
He had originally been worrying about this matter.
He hadn't expected that a trip to the Puppet City's storehouse would give him such a massive surprise.
Looking at the number of Silver Chests here, there were at least ten thousand of them.
With these supplies...
Even if he couldn't farm any chests daily in the future, he wouldn't have to worry anymore.
"I didn't expect so many treasure chests to be stockpiled in our Puppet City's storehouse."
Li Dala was also exceptionally excited at this moment.
Although he was a Protector of Puppet City, he hadn't been qualified to enter such a critical storehouse area before.
He hadn't expected that now that Puppet City was gone, he would actually get to take a walk inside.
Jiang Chen turned his head to look at a nearby area where Space Scrolls were stored, preparing to head over and grab a few scrolls to collect these Silver Chests.
Unexpectedly, just as he took a step...
A faint smell of blood wafted into his nostrils.
Looking down...
Under the dim light, he actually discovered a strangely shaped bloodstain on the ground.
"Why is there blood here?"
Jiang Chen squatted down and reached out a finger to touch the bloodstain.
The blood was dry.
It seemed this bloodstain had been left here for some time already.
But the problem was...
This was the critical storehouse of Puppet City.
Logically speaking, someone should have come to inspect it every day.
Why was such a large bloodstain left here, uncleaned to this day?
Jiang Chen frowned and thought for a moment, quickly coming up with a possibility.
There was only one reason why this bloodstain had been left uncleaned for a long time.
That was, someone had deliberately left this blood here.
And Old Granny Yan had issued a 'do not clean' order.
But what exactly was this for?
Jiang Chen tried to move the boxes next to the bloodstain and discovered that the blood seemed to extend continuously nearby, leading who knows where.
Clearly...
This blood hadn't been randomly splashed on the ground by someone.
Instead, someone was deliberately using this blood to depict something.
At that moment...
Jiang Chen suddenly recalled something Song She had told him before.
In order to activate his curse technique faster, Qin Hao had once used his own blood to draw a massive ritual array outside the Temple of the Evil God.
Usually, as long as he was at the Temple of the Evil God, it was equivalent to always standing within the ritual array.
"That Old Granny Yan has connections with the Evil God Organization, could these bloodstains also be..."
Jiang Chen quickly pushed away all the boxes in front of him and then walked rapidly along the direction the bloodstain extended.
Along the way, anything that blocked the path of the bloodstain was pushed aside by him.
Not long after...
When Jiang Chen had moved everything aside, a massive circular Ritual Array was revealed before his eyes.
It was precisely the ritual array used to activate Death Controlling Blood Possessing!
"I didn't expect that Qin Hao would have tampered with this place as well..."
Jiang Chen was deep in thought, and a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart.
—Bang!
Right at that moment...
A sound of hard objects crashing against the ground suddenly came from above, interrupting his thoughts.
Li Dala, who was inspecting the supplies, had his expression change as he quickly turned around and asked, "Oh no, it sounds like a fight has broken out above. How are we going to handle these things?"
