Ch 62: Ten Consecutive Draws
Wang Zhi, hearing this, his expression became somewhat dim. He helplessly shook his head, his voice carrying a hint of dejection: “Lord, our distress signal was indeed sent out several days ago, but to this day, we have not received any response.”
“Moreover, Lord, we have even more unfavorable news. It is said that the mastermind behind this attack is a member of the Demonic Sect, Flying Sky Daoist Jiang Kui. This person is highly skilled in martial arts, acts mysteriously, and commits all kinds of evil. His reputation is notorious in the Jianghu, and no one dares to easily wade into these troubled waters.”
“Flying Sky Daoist Jiang Kui, what is his realm?” Jiang Chen asked directly.
Wang Zhi, hearing this, his expression became solemn. He slowly said: “This person had already broken through to the Grandmaster Realm ten years ago, which is the supreme realm that everyone in the martial world yearns for. And now, no one knows what his cultivation level is, but one thing is certain: his strength should not be underestimated. It is said that the Jinyiwei Commander who took office five years ago died at his hands. That Commander’s martial arts had also reached the Mid-Stage Grandmaster Realm, but in front of Jiang Kui, he was like an ant, vulnerable to a single blow.”
Jiang Chen, hearing this, nodded, but there was no fear on his face.
Grandmaster Realm experts are indeed extremely powerful, but with his current cultivation, although he cannot easily kill Grandmaster Realm experts, he still has the ability to protect himself.
“First, find me a secluded place. I want to cultivate in seclusion in order to improve my strength as soon as possible. If bandits attack the city or if there is any emergency, remember to notify me in time.”
“Yes! Lord, please rest assured, this humble one will arrange it for you.”
Wang Zhi, hearing this, immediately responded respectfully, then quickly turned around and led Jiang Chen towards the depths of the County Government Office.
Soon, they arrived in front of a quiet courtyard.
Wang Zhi stopped and turned to Jiang Chen, saying: “Lord, this used to be the residence of the County Magistrate. Although it has been abandoned for a while, it is still the best residence in the entire Huadu County. The environment here is quiet and there are no other people to disturb you, making it very suitable for you to cultivate in seclusion.”
Jiang Chen nodded, expressing his satisfaction.
He looked around and saw that although the houses in the small courtyard were simple, the layout was very reasonable, giving people a feeling of tranquility.
Compared to the luxurious residences he lived in in the Capital City, this place did seem much more simple.
He stepped into the house and found that the furnishings inside were also very simple, with only a wooden bed, a desk, and a few chairs.
Although this place was simple, he didn’t care. He walked straight into a secluded and quiet room in the County Government Office, preparing to begin cultivating in seclusion.
Although the layout of the room was simple, it exuded a quiet aura, which suited him well.
“Lord Wang, is he really a member of the Jinyiwei?” a man dressed as a constable asked in a low voice behind Wang Zhi.
His eyes were full of doubt, obviously holding great suspicion about Jiang Chen’s identity.
“I see these Jinyiwei strutting around on weekdays. Apart from bullying us ordinary people, they don’t dare to provoke those bandits…”
Wang Zhi, hearing this, his face darkened. He suddenly turned around, glaring at the man with piercing eyes, and shouted coldly: “Enough! How dare you be so rude? This Lord’s martial arts are unfathomable. He reveals extraordinary strength with every move, and he has His Majesty’s bestowed *Jiaolong* Colt as his mount. His identity is extremely noble! If you dare to talk nonsense again and offend him, I won’t be able to protect you!”
The man was intimidated by Wang Zhi’s aura and immediately fell silent, not daring to say another word.
He knew Wang Zhi’s methods well, and he understood how miserable the consequences of offending the Jinyiwei would be.
“I misspoke!”
This constable named Li Cang, under Wang Zhi’s stern gaze, finally lowered his head, his voice carrying a hint of panic and unease.
He knew very well that what he had just said had offended this usually dignified superior, and he understood that in this precarious moment, any remark that shook people’s hearts could bring disastrous consequences.
Wang Zhi looked at him, his eyes filled with both blame and warning: “Li Cang, you must understand that the current situation does not allow us to be negligent in the slightest. No matter what the origin of that Lord is, or what he is here to do, as long as he is willing to stand on our side and help us resist the bandit invasion, then he is Huadu County’s only savior. If he leaves here, with our current strength, I’m afraid we won’t last two days before being slaughtered.”
Speaking of this, Wang Zhi’s voice had become unusually heavy, and his eyes revealed an unquestionable determination.
He looked at Li Cang again, his tone carrying a hint of irrefutable majesty: “If I hear you spreading rumors and disturbing the morale of the army again, don’t blame me for disregarding the friendship between colleagues and punishing you severely!”
After saying that, Wang Zhi strode away from here, leaving Li Cang standing alone in place, his eyes flashing with complex emotions.
He watched Wang Zhi’s departing back, his eyes full of resentment.
……
“System, open the personal panel.”

……
“Unknowingly, I have gained more than 11,000 Sin Points during this time. It’s enough for me to do a ten consecutive draws.”
Jiang Chen looked at the points he had accumulated during this time and muttered to himself with satisfaction.
This was thanks to the boatman named Zheng Yan, who gave him nearly 4,000 Sin Points at once. Otherwise, there was no way he could have obtained so many points.
“Start the lottery draw!”
Jiang Chen said directly.
Because he found that the cost-effectiveness of the lottery draw was much higher than directly using Enlightenment. Drawing two or three Great Revitalizing Pills was comparable to the effect of 10,000 Sin Points of Enlightenment.
Not to mention the possibility of drawing high-level cultivation methods and Marrow Cleansing Pills, such precious treasures.
“Ding! Starting the lottery draw!”
As the System’s voice fell, ten green roulette wheels instantly appeared in front of him.
The ten roulette wheels began to spin at the same time, gradually stopping after about two or three breaths.
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Three-Hundred-Year-Old Wild Ginseng *3, Thunderclap Pearl *2, Gold *100 taels, Great Revitalizing Pill *2, Bone Dislocation Hand(Mystic Grade ━ Middle Rank).”
