Chapter 475: Chapter 263: Revenge Without Delay, Blow It Up!_2

Gu Shanhai’s idea was to check out the bookroom, and he didn’t need much, just to take everything.

Gu Shanhai used his Spiritual Sense to detect Lord Wen’an from afar and then discovered another way of using a Daoist Soldier to boost strength.

"Shh, they’re having quite the party at this late hour, handling one against seven with ease..." Gu Shanhai couldn’t help but draw a sharp breath, his heart filled with dread at the terrifying sight.

It’s fair to say that the rich play on an entirely different level.

"Fine, you’re busy anyway, so I don’t have to worry about you reading in the bookroom," Gu Shanhai commented with a touch of sarcasm. The opponent engaging in a multiple-person exercise was a good thing; considering their combat power, the fight wouldn’t end within one or two hours.

"Does that mean I can take my time exploring his mansion?"

Initially, Gu Shanhai planned to grab his mental nourishment and leave, but after witnessing this scene, how could he not take a little more to justify Lord Wen’an’s efforts in his upbringing.

It’s probably not that Lord Wen’an wanted to play like this; it’s just that there wasn’t much to do in ancient society, not like in a modern one. And speaking of modernity, only the wealthy can truly afford to play extravagantly.

Compared to the granary and treasure house, the bookroom was unguarded; only occasionally would a Daoist Soldier patrol by. Clearly, compared to these two important locations, the bookroom’s value was much lower.

Once inside, Gu Shanhai effortlessly pocketed everything into the Mother-child Grass. This time, his actions were even cleaner, leaving not even tables, chairs, bookshelves, or decorations behind.

"Huh? A secret door!"

Gu Shanhai’s Detect Secret Door skill activated. It had been concealed before, and the object hiding it was rather thick, which is why he hadn’t noticed it before.

But once everything in the room was taken by Gu Shanhai, it naturally became noticeable.

"What is this thing that could block my Spiritual Sense? Interesting." Gu Shanhai’s Spiritual Sense hadn’t detected the hidden chamber, clearly shielded.

Detect Secret Door was different by nature; it was essentially Prophetic Divination and unveiling information, so it wasn’t that he had detected it, but rather predicted and revealed the secret door.

"I’ll need to find a way to get in." Gu Shanhai mused for a while, finding that the secret chamber was well constructed, probably not by any ordinary person, but likely by some special Daoist Soldier equipped with the ability to evade detection. It just hadn’t expected to be discovered by a system from another world.

Gu Shanhai studied it for about half an hour but couldn’t figure out how to open it.

He had considered using Five Elements Great Escape to go straight in, but the premise of this Escape Technique was that Gu Shanhai needed to locate the exact coordinates. Since the entire chamber was shielded, he couldn’t find the coordinates and was stuck.

If only he were stronger, it might have been possible.

"If all else fails... try using the Natural Channel?" An idea emerged in Gu Shanhai’s mind.

The Natural Channel had already been converted by him into a passive skill used for various interconnections of his own, with its original effects long forgotten.

Drawing from the world was purely courting death.

Unless his strength increased significantly, he wouldn’t reactivate its original functions.

"Indeed, just using the channel is so powerful, worthy of a talent derived from a legendary mark." Gu Shanhai quickly opened the secret chamber using this Natural Channel.

The method was straightforward; he extracted the lock through the Natural Channel. Once the door was unlocked, Gu Shanhai didn’t care about any special abilities, as he could simply open the door.

Inside the chamber, instead of seeing treasures, there was a pool. The pool had no water but was stained with dark brown traces, and the air was thick with a pungent stench.

"A blood pool?" Gu Shanhai understood what the pool was for in an instant.

After a thorough inspection, he determined the pool wasn’t a remnant of the previous lord but rather dug by the current one soon after taking office.

"Not human blood, but beast blood. It seems to be the practice area for the Blood Armor Daoist Soldier." Gu Shanhai quickly figured it out.

The cultivation of the Blood Armor Daoist Soldier was definitely related to blood.

The reason for keeping it hidden was naturally because the Blood Armor Daoist Soldier was a secret technique. If it were within the domain of their own clan, it wouldn’t be an issue, but Gu Shanhai was out on assignment. What would happen if the secret were leaked?

Thus, a secret chamber was established, exclusively for the Blood Armor Daoist Soldiers to cultivate.

The beast blood in the blood pool was even simpler to explain because they dared not use human blood. Besides, using beast blood wasn’t necessarily inferior to human blood.

Too many human disappearances would raise suspicions. Once investigated and traced back to them, public outrage might overturn the clan itself.

On the other hand, using beast blood carried none of these risks, and they could even collect various domesticated animals like chickens, ducks, pigs, and sheep quite openly. They could boldly claim they needed the beast blood for the cultivation of the Blood Armor Daoist Soldiers, and no one would question it.

"So... coming here was pointless..." Gu Shanhai muttered a complaint.

As for the "Blood Armor Soldier Method" used to cultivate Blood Armor Daoist Soldiers, how could the other party bring such a thing out with them? Whatever needed to be known had already been memorized. This world was not some low-magic, low-martial one; a skill like photographic memory was something every Daoist Soldier leader possessed. Otherwise, with all their power, if their brains didn’t evolve, the whole system would have a serious flaw.

"No, I’ve come all this way; I can’t leave it at that. I’m going to blast it."

Gu Shanhai felt that since the other party had sent someone to kill him, he had collected interest on the matter. Reluctantly, he refrained from killing the other party, but the Blood Armor Daoist Soldier under his command had blasted him and left him stained. Therefore, he must also return the favor with a blast. Otherwise, it would be like he had endured an unprovoked self-destruction for nothing.

"I need to calculate the weak points, preferably making a bigger scene." Gu Shanhai quickly visualized a barrage of data in his mind.

Indeed, he intended to blast the blood pool, but he couldn’t just blast the blood pool alone; the explosion must affect the entire Lord Wen’an’s residence as well.

Especially the noise—it had to be loud, loud enough to scare Lord Wen’an stiff. Of course, it would be best if it completely crushed his younger brother too.

With a Daoist Soldier leader’s psychological quality, being scared stiff by a loud noise might be possible, yet the likelihood of being completely incapacitated was slim.

After all, the other party wasn’t just some noble scion who came over to gild his reputation but a truly well-rounded individual, able in both letters and arms.

Soon, Gu Shanhai calculated the corresponding weak points and quickly completed setting up the explosives.

"Set the timer for five minutes; after that, it won’t be my problem anymore."

Five minutes was plenty of time for Gu Shanhai to return to Cansang Village using the Five Elements Great Escape and even steep a cup of tea en route.

And he could also establish his alibi as he had ventured out alone that night. Even if Lord Wen’an were suspicious, he wouldn’t be able to pin it on him.

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and used his Escape Technique, leaving behind a string of bombs to count down.

Five minutes passed in an instant, and the explosion, with its fire and shockwave, blasted loudly.

Lord Wen’an of Wen’an Prefecture, in the midst of activities, detected the disturbance immediately and reacted swiftly, forming a gigantic blood-colored armor with the seven hundred Blood Armor Daoist Soldiers within his residence in a flash.

Boom~

The noise of the explosion was enveloped by the Blood Armor and gradually extinguished, leaving behind nothing but ruins.

Lord Wen’an wore a dark expression as he surveyed the scene, shortly followed by the anxious arrival of the Blood Armor Daoist Soldiers.

"Truly lawless! Conduct a search!"

"Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, find this assassin!" commanded Lord Wen’an with a low growl. He was very displeased by the incident. If not for his quick reaction, the blast might have impacted the entire back residence of the mansion instead of just a study.

"Yes, Commander!" All the Blood Armor Daoist Soldiers looked distressed; as the saying goes, the retainer dies if the lord is shamed—they and the Daoist Soldier leader were one and the same.

Before long, commands were issued from Lord Wen’an’s residence, and Wen’an City was locked down, allowing entrance but no exit, determined to find the brazen assassin.
