Chapter 474: Chapter 263: Revenge Doesn’t Wait Overnight, Blow It Up!

"I was just threatening to threaten, I haven’t even started yet," Gu Shanhai nonchalantly wiped the blood and flesh that had splattered onto his Magic Domain.

After Gu Shanhai’s threat, this Blood Armor Daoist Soldier committed suicide immediately and used some kind of self-destructive spell, blowing up the whole room into a crimson mess.

"It seems that this Lord takes really good care of his Daoist Soldiers, preferring suicide rather than becoming a burden to their master."

Gu Shanhai was now very angry, for with the man dead, he had no evidence to openly act against the current Lord Wen’an. He could only resort to underhanded conspiracies to kill the Lord silently.

"Forget it, let’s collect some interest first. It’s not too late to kill the Prefecture Lord later." Gu Shanhai knew that if the Lord died too often, it would attract unwanted attention.

If it weren’t for the high energy levels in this world, Gu Shanhai would have been much less restrained.

For now, it was not bad to be able to collect some interest.

Wen’an Prefecture was just a rather remote city in the Dalong Dynasty. At first glance, it seemed to make quite a commotion, but it was really just trivial compared to the real battlefront, barely better than the former Wulaoguan.

Therefore, most battles did not affect this place, nor were there any grand battles to witness.

Otherwise, if just fifteen hundred Blood Armor Daoist Soldiers led by the Prefecture Lord could prevent the two major families from acting, it would be noteworthy indeed.

"I have not offended the other party, so why do they want to kill me?" Gu Shanhai was puzzled as he had arrived at the Lord’s mansion. It had to be said that, compared to the previous Lord, the current one took his security very seriously. Perhaps due to being new, there was at least a hundred Blood Armor Daoist Soldiers protecting him whether he was traveling or working.

The defense of the other party’s mansion was even more formidable, with at least half of the Daoist Soldiers deployed there for home security, to protect the wives and children, while the rest were spread out in the entire Wen’an Prefecture City to maintain control.

"It’s gotten a bit tricky now, with at least seven hundred Blood Armor Daoist Soldiers for protection."

Gu Shanhai would not fear a single soldier or Daoist Soldier, but now, gathered together, they posed a difficult challenge for him to tackle.

His original intention had been to give this Prefecture Lord a surprise attack, but that now seemed impossible.

"I can only reluctantly... take some things." Gu Shanhai’s tone carried a hint of helplessness.

After silently infiltrating the mansion, guided by the infallible foresight of the spell "Constant Prophecy," Gu Shanhai quickly located the treasury.

The guards were very strict, with Blood Armor Daoist Soldiers patrolling and others standing guard.

Generally, there would definitely be secret rooms, but for Gu Shanhai, those were even harder to enter than raiding a treasury.

"They’re really guarding it tightly, not leaving a single loophole." Gu Shanhai commented disdainfully and teleported inside using the Five Elements Great Escape.

In addition to a vast amount of gold and silver, the treasury also contained textiles, jade, medicinal herbs, and mineral materials, all intended for the cultivation of Daoist Soldiers.

"Then it seems I can also take a look at the granary?" Gu Shanhai suddenly remembered that Daoist Soldiers’ rations were different from those of ordinary people. Their food was nutrient-dense, high-calorie, and specifically tailored for them, commonly known as "soldiers’ provisions."

As described in "Sun and Moon Military Method," there were not only provisions for Daoist Soldiers but also for their commanders.

However, "Golden Mist," "Mad Sand," and other lesser military methods did not feature such provisions due to their low level; Blood Armor Daoist Soldiers, on the other hand, definitely had such provisions—if not, how could they sustain fighting with their own blood.

After looting the treasury, Gu Shanhai left using the Five Elements Great Escape again. This Escape Technique was truly useful.

Between heaven and earth, there were few things beyond the Five Elements. Even under the expansion of his divine skills such as Qimen Dunjia, and Taiyi Divine Number, and while mastering formations like Liu Ren, he could still derive corresponding methods like Eight Diagrams and Heavenly Stems to escape. At least in fleeing, Gu Shanhai was very confident.

After several escapes, he arrived at the granary, which was much larger than the previous treasury. Of course, grain could not be stored for just a day’s consumption; Gu Shanhai estimated that this large granary held about a month’s worth of provisions for the Blood Armor Daoist Soldiers.

As Daoist Soldiers, consuming more was normal, and if it weren’t for the provisions, they would need even more.

Moreover, this was just one granary in the Wen’an Prefecture Lord Mansion, not to mention the multiple granaries in the entire Wen’an City.

Grain was one of the foundations that underpinned society’s functioning.

"Since I’m here, the Lord probably wouldn’t mind if I took just a little bit more. Considering the Lord’s background from a great family, he couldn’t possibly be petty."

Gu Shanhai swept everything into the Mother-child Grass dimension with a flick of his sleeve.

This food would stay with him for the time being. If Jiang Lu and the others faced a crisis of shortage, Gu Shanhai would generously provide aid. If not, he could keep it for himself or find use for it eventually.

Within a few breaths, both the granary and the treasury in the Prefecture Lord’s mansion were emptied.

Upon viewing the abundant supplies in the Mother-child Grass space, Gu Shanhai felt quite satisfied; even if he didn’t need them, it was great to have a stockpile.

"Now that I have physical sustenance, should I also take some spiritual nourishment?" Gu Shanhai mused that, having satisfied his material needs, it was time to pursue some spiritual fulfillment as well.
