Chapter 0204 – Monstrous Flames – Absolute Return

Jian Wuji undid Yixian’s acupoints, and the oil and water that he had thought had been drained out had sprung back up.

“I remembered, at the Continental Money Bank, I also deposited a sum of money.” Yixian said in a hurry, afraid that if he said it late, he would be silenced by Jian Wuji.

“How much?”

“About four hundred thousand taels.”

“Saved up quite a bit!” Jian Wuji said with a smirk.

Yixian didn’t dare to be negligent, and hurriedly told Gao Yue the secret language of the mainland money changers. Gao Yue memorized them one by one, and secretly calculated in his heart: together with the 800,000 taels from the previous “Immortal Guest House” and the 400,000 taels that Yixian had stashed away in his private stash, there are already 1.2 million taels now!

Seeing this scene, Er Xian instantly became anxious and hastily blinked his eyes, signaling Jian Wuji to undo his acupoints.

Seeing this, Jian Wuji unlocked the acupoints of the second immortal and sealed the mute point of the first immortal.

“Good you, Yixian! How dare you hide a huge sum of 400,000 taels! Thanks to our brotherhood, you treat me like this!” The Second Immortal cursed angrily, his heart filled with anger and jealousy.

Yixian wanted to retort, but he was sealed by the mute points, so he could only stare, his heart burning with anger.

“I know that the First Immortal has other possessions; he secretly bought a lot of gold and hid it.” In order to stay alive, the Second Immortal betrayed the First Immortal without hesitation.

The First Immortal’s face changed drastically when he heard this, how could he not expect that the Second Immortal would even know about this matter?

Seeing the second immortal score again, the first immortal blinked anxiously and tried to speak again.

Seeing this, Jian Wuji smiled and said, “Don’t be in a hurry, take your time and speak one by one.”

Thus, the First and Second Immortals began to take turns exposing each other’s crimes, and in order to stay alive, they told each other’s secrets and even shook out the Third and Fourth Immortals’ private stash.

Jian Wuji and Gao Yue listened with great interest, secretly sighing in their hearts: this “immortal guest” is really a place to hide dirt ah!

After the two could no longer say any more valuable information, Jian Wuji sealed their acupoints once again and let them fall asleep.

“Army Master Gao, first thing tomorrow morning, you will lead them to the major money changers and collect all of their property back.” Jian Wuji commanded.

“Yes, Your Excellency.” Gao Yue respectfully answered.

“As for these two …… people,” A trace of coldness flashed in Jian Wuji’s eyes, “It won’t be too late to dispose of them after we collect all of their property back.”

“Gongzi, should we hang them up and torture them severely?” Devil Quan suggested from the side.

“No need.” Jian Wuji shook his head, “They no longer have any use, just kill them.”

“Good.” Power Demon nodded.

Jian Wuji turned his head to look at Sect Leader Feng Tian and said, “Elder Feng, I still ask you to help Army Master Gao tomorrow.”

“No problem.” Sect Leader Windsky agreed with alacrity.

“Many thanks, senior.” Jian Wuji arched his hand and thanked him.

“No need to be polite.” Sect Leader Windsky waved his hand, “It’s just a matter of raising my hand.”

“By the way, senior, do you have any thoughts on our action this time?” Jian Wuji asked.

“Opinions?” Sect Master Feng Tian pondered for a moment and said, “Your action this time, although it was a bit risky, the end result was still good. Not only did you eradicate the scourge of the ‘Immortal Hakkas’, you also seized a large amount of their property, so it can be said that you have achieved two things in one.”

“Senior is overpraised.” Jian Wuji said modestly.

“However ……” Sect Leader Windsky’s words changed, “Your actions this time have also exposed some problems.”

“Oh? What’s the problem?” Jian Wuji asked in a hurry.

“You guys are relying on Gao Yue too much.” Sect Master Windsky said, “Although Gao Yue is resourceful, he is after all only one person with limited energy. You guys should cultivate more talents in order to better cope with various emergencies.”

“Elder’s lesson is correct.” Jian Wuji accepted Sect Leader Windsky’s criticism with an open mind.

“And ……” Sect Leader Feng Tian continued, “Although your action this time was successful, you have also offended quite a few people. Especially that behind-the-scenes gold master, he definitely won’t let it go. You guys have to be mentally prepared for his retaliation.”

“Thanks for the reminder, senior.” Jian Wuji said solemnly, “We will be prepared.”

……

The next day, Gao Yue, with the assistance of Sect Leader Feng Tian, brought along the First and Second Immortals to recover all the property they had hidden in the major money changers.

All these properties, which were taken by the First and Second Immortals in the name of “Xian Hak Lai”, have finally been returned to their rightful owners after having been plundered and raided.

The two men, the First Immortal and the Second Immortal, watched as their property was seized in vain, their hearts filled with remorse and despair.

However, they are to blame for all this and have no one else to blame.

……

After collecting all the properties back, Jian Wuji once again brought the two First Immortals and Second Immortals to a secluded forest.

“Speak up, who is your behind-the-scenes gold master?” Jian Wuji asked coldly.

Yixian knew that there was no turning back, and she had no choice but to come clean.

“Our behind-the-scenes gold master, is ……” Yixian took a deep breath and slowly uttered a name.

“Chi Sheng?” Jian Wuji sniffed and frowned slightly.

It was a name he seemed to have heard somewhere.

“Not bad, it’s Ikuo.” Yixian said, “He is the steward of our gold master and is in charge of liaising with us.”

“Ikuo ……” Jian Wuji pondered for a moment and suddenly remembered something, “As I recall, he seems to be from the ‘Golden Pig’? “

“Golden Pig?” A fairy’s face changed drastically when he sniffed, “How did you …… you know that?!”

The “Golden Pig” is a mysterious organization in the jianghu, specializing in underground trading, with a huge force, spread all over the world.

Yixian never thought that Jian Wuji would know about the existence of the “Golden Pig”!

“It seems that your behind-the-scenes gold master is not a small person!” A hint of coldness flashed in Jian Wuji’s eyes.
