Chapter 164 - 164: 164 – Brain Hemorrhage
The primary function of the white smoke was to nauseate people. Once inhaled, it would cause continuous diarrhea for thirty days, regardless of whether you were at the Nascent Soul Stage or the Transcendence Stage.
Moreover, once this thing started working, antidotes were useless. It could be described as the ultimate nauseating tool!
The few people enveloped by the white smoke immediately sealed their mouths and noses with their spiritual power. Unfortunately, they would inhale these fumes the moment they came in and had already been significantly poisoned.
Sure enough, not long after, one of them suddenly had a rumble in his stomach. His face changed, his eyes widened, and he immediately covered his rear end with his hands.
“What are you doing?” someone next to him exclaimed.
“Oh my god, I can’t hold it any longer!”
He screamed and was about to rush out to find a place, but because of the potency of the medicine, as soon as he moved, a sound like firecrackers could be heard, followed by a deathly silence.
“Ugh!”
Gagging sounds came from everywhere, and people rushed towards the outside. The smell was simply unbearable.
As soon as they rushed out, various reactions started. A group of people could only hurriedly find places to relieve themselves.
On the other side, Yuwen Tiancheng, who was hosting the banquet, was no longer in the mood to enjoy the festivities.
When he learned that one of the spiritual stone mines was attacked, he was immediately furious. He sent people to investigate, but there was no reply, which made him extremely angry.
“Where are they? Why isn’t there any news yet?” Yuwen Tiancheng sat in his study, slamming the table in anger.
Not long after he finished speaking, one of his subordinates rushed in with a complicated expression on his face, stammering without knowing how to begin explaining.
“Spit it out, what happened?” Yuwen Tiancheng roared angrily.
“My Lord, they… they’re back, but the situation is…”
Yuwen Tiancheng instantly narrowed his eyes, a trace of rage appearing on his face. He coldly snorted and strode out of the study. But as soon as he stepped out, he was hit by a stench, almost causing him to vomit his dinner.
Following this, he found a few men squatting in the toilet under the guidance of his subordinates.
Oh man, the phrase ‘stinking to high heaven’ couldn’t begin to describe it. It was so harsh that it burned his eyes. The few attendants standing guard were full of tears, wishing they could die on the spot.
“My Lord… the mine was… was…” A stuttered voice came from the toilet, and it was clear that the speaker was exerting a lot of effort.
“What about the mine?” Yuwen Tiancheng asked through gritted teeth.
“It’s been robbed!”
‘What!”
Yuwen Tiancheng almost shrieked, “Are you kidding me? That mine was safe and sound buried deep underground, how could someone rob it?”
“But when we got there…we didn’t see a single spiritual stone…”
“Damn it, how is that possible?”
Yuwen Tiancheng felt that his subordinates were messing with him and joking. He could understand if the mined spiritual stones were stolen, but the spiritual stone mine had not yet been exploited!
Yuwen Tiancheng, who didn’t believe in superstitions, sent people to recheck, only to receive the same result. The expression of the person reporting back was as though he’d seen a ghost.
Naturally, Yuwen Tiancheng didn’t believe this. He personally went to check it out and was stunned!
It felt like a dream. What happened in his spiritual stone mine completely upended his imagination, could someone really steal all the spiritual stones?
And it happened so quickly?
Before Yuwen Tiancheng could react, he received another piece of bad news. The treasury where the gifts from today’s guests were stored had also been emptied!
Not only that, the thief who emptied the treasures left a message in the treasury.
“How about that, is your head buzzing yet?”
When Yuwen Tiancheng came back and saw this message, he nearly had a stroke on the spot.
All he saw before his eyes was pitch black, and he leaned against the wall, looking completely despondent.
“Damn it, who was it, who exactly was it?”
Yuwen Tiancheng roared skyward in anger, while his subordinates all lowered their heads, scared silent. The exceptionally beautiful woman’s face was also twitching continuously. After all, she had never seen or even heard of such a thing.
Yuwen Tiancheng, on the other hand, was clutching his chest and was almost unable to go on.
As a newly appointed city lord, he had spent a great deal and was originally hoping to make a fortune. However, he didn’t see a single benefit from the goodwill presented on his first day—it had all been stolen.
Not only that, but the spiritual stone mine had also been emptied. Although he had swallowed up a share of the Qin Family’s haul, the profits hadn’t yet arrived, as they were supposed to come after the mine was exploited.
But now that the mine was gone, he didn’t have any profits and was instead implicated!
After all, there were other powers involved in this mine and they all paid money!
The worst-case scenario would be having to pay back the money, but the critical point was that the previous money was taken away by Feng Liangfei, and then robbed by Jiang Xiaobai. Namely, a total of 150 million top-grade spiritual stones. Did he have that much money?
For a moment, Yuwen Tiancheng was filled with despair and anger.
In the end, after some investigation, they didn’t even know who the culprit was. On the spot, Yuwen Tiancheng fainted from anger, and his Taoist heart was left tremulous.
This incident was too big. Eventually, the truth will out. Even Yuwen Tiancheng did not dare to conceal it. After all, it involved many powers, and if mishandled, the Thousand Yuan Dynasty might annihilate him.
Then, everything spread at a terrifying speed. In less than an hour, the whole Four Seas City knew about it!
When the news broke, Jiang Xiaobai, who was the main culprit, was completely unmoved in his heart, even wanting to do it again.
This time the gains were quite substantial, it was his biggest one yet!
At this time, Jiang Xiaobai was in a room in Tai Xiang Pavilion with An Ran, dividing up the spoils.
“Jiang Bai, this is really too generous of you, I didn’t do a thing and you’re giving me fifty million top-grade spiritual stones?” AnRan was shocked, looking at Jiang Xiaobai incredulously.
Jiang Xiaobai was eating some fine food and casually waved his hand with a nonchalant attitude, “It’s nothing, since you’re willing to follow me, I naturally won’t deprive you of the benefits.”
At this moment, AnRan’s eyes were sparkling, filled with excitement and shock.
He had always been a money-grubber and had used his family’s power to make some deals, making a lot of money. However, the money he made was nothing compared to Jiang Xiaobai’s method.
He didn’t do anything the whole night and got fifty million top-grade spiritual stones. This would have taken him ten years at least to accumulate in the past.
At this moment, AnRan realized that following Jiang Xiaobai was indeed the most correct choice he had ever made!
“Jiang Bai, how about we do a few more big jobs?” AnRan the Fatty looked at Jiang Xiaobai expectantly..
