Wasted Spiritual Root to Embark on Demonic Cultivation Chapter 85

"Sir, this concerns the Alchemist Association. The spirit stones involved reach as high as four to five hundred thousand. Lord Zhuo has been watching this for a long time. As for me..."

Hearing the number, Yu Xing abruptly stood up, excitement flashing across his face.

"You should have said so earlier!"

"Gather everyone! All of you, get over here now!"

Seeing Yu Xing act with the same temper as Zhuo Shouqing, Wang Yu instantly knew this matter was settled.

Still, since there was a new ally, he could not forget the old one. With a flattering face, he added, "That… Lord Zhuo, on his side…"

"I already know." Yu Xing glared at him, then used a sound transmission talisman to contact Zhuo Shouqing. After a short while, he muttered, "That Zhuo has indeed taken in a loyal subordinate."

Wang Yu lowered his head and smiled without speaking.

Before long.

Their status was not low, but not as important as one might imagine. Most were branches of powerful clans or members of personal entourages.

At this very moment.

A streak of purple lightning flew across the sky. Looking closely, one could see a figure sitting cross-legged upon a crimson war drum. It was none other than Zhuo Shouqing.

His robes were disheveled, and there were even a few plum-colored lip marks on his face, showing how hurriedly he had rushed here.

"Where are they? Where are the people? Yu Xing! Yu—"

"Stop shouting."

Yu Xing looked at Zhuo Shouqing with annoyance, then pulled Wang Yu forward. "Your little lackey insisted on informing you. But the spoils will be split with me."

"Step aside." Zhuo Shouqing rolled his eyes. The two of them were typical wastrels, looking no older than just over a hundred years. Their cultivation lingered at the second or third layer of Foundation Establishment, not even reaching mid-stage.

If not for being direct heirs, with such cultivation they would never be great figures in the Law Enforcement Hall. In the outer sect, they would be merely average cultivators.

Reaching Core Formation would already be their lifetime peak, even with abundant resources poured into them.

"Tell me the details. You speak."

Wang Yu was pointed out, and discovered that Zhuo Shouqing had already forgotten his name. He felt speechless.

In truth, if Zhou Tao had not come threatening him, Wang Yu would not have bothered. But since the man sought his own death, there was no need to show mercy.

"Lord Zhuo, I am Wang Yu of the Xu Family’s Pill Shop."

"Oh."

Zhuo Shouqing revealed an enlightened expression, suddenly intrigued. "You caught another big fish?"

"The leader of the Alchemist Association. He has half of the profits and capital earned over the years. Here is the list of five people captured by Law Enforcement disciples.

"They are in Corpse Market, Evil God Market, Cold Blood Market, and Five Yin Market. As long as Lord Zhuo does not alert outsiders, but secretly transfers them here, we can deal with them thoroughly."

Zhuo Shouqing’s eyes lit up, then he looked at Yu Xing.

"Brother Zuoqiu did not come?"

"I did not call him."

Zhuo Shouqing thought for a moment.

"No, he must be called. Quite a few have their eyes on the Alchemist Association this time."

Yu Xing rolled his eyes.

Zhuo, Yu, and Zuoqiu were the three Nascent Soul pillars of the Blood Reversal Sect. Even if only one of them acted, it was more than enough to devour the Alchemist Association’s assets.

Saying this was nothing more than the fear of imbalance, not scarcity. After all, the three “Blood Reversal Young Masters” always advanced and retreated together. If one were left out, resentment was bound to arise.

If Zhuo Shouqing had been the only one informed, he would surely have swallowed everything alone. But now that Yu Xing was involved…

"I know, I know. Let’s move first."

"If we wait until he arrives, the opportunity will be gone."

"Fine."

"You there… Wang Yu, lead the way!"

"Coming—"

As a guide, Wang never felt any shame. When he had decided to split up earlier, he had already tampered with Zhou Tao.

At this moment, running in front, a remnant moon mark surfaced in his eyes.

His divine sense, washed by the power of Lunar Moonlight, carried a special trace that could only be discovered under the “Moon Observation” state. He had attached a strand of this divine sense onto Zhou Tao.

Positioning him inside the Evil God Market was no problem.

During the guiding process, he only needed to glance occasionally to confirm. With a large group of Law Enforcement Hall elites mobilized, even in broad daylight, the disciples walking in the market all quickly stepped aside.

They feared colliding with these fiends and being wrongly punished.

While marching, Wang Yu occasionally glanced at Yu Xing, and his figure gradually moved closer to Zhuo Shouqing. Without making a sound, he tossed over a storage pouch.

Although the act was hidden, it could only fool Qi Refining disciples. It could not deceive Yu Xing, who was at Foundation Establishment.

Zhuo Shouqing curiously examined the storage pouch.

Inside were one hundred thousand spirit stones Zhou Tao had entrusted Wang Yu to use for bribing people. This black payment was something he could not keep, since Zhou Tao would surely mention it when they met later.

He only kept the initial twenty thousand that had been used to bribe him. He could not take the large amount, but the small amount was trivial, and he could both take and keep it.

“Hahaha!”

“Wang Yu, what is going on here?”

Even before catching the man, he had already received a huge amount of pocket money. Naturally, Zhuo Shouqing was delighted.

Wang Yu explained in a low voice. Hearing that it was Zhou Tao who gave the funds to rescue someone, Zhuo Shouqing laughed so hard he threw his head back.

“Hahaha, this fool, he bribed someone from my own side.”

However, after laughing three times, he stared again at Wang Yu.

“Is this all of the illicit money?”

Wang Yu chuckled and held up two fingers.

“Your subordinate kept this much.”

“Good. What belongs to you, I will not question. Not bad.”

Patting Wang Yu’s shoulder, Lord Zhuo was extremely satisfied. He even went closer to Yu Xing to explain, taking the chance to show off.

Yu Xing widened his eyes in surprise, a little envious that his old brother had suddenly gained such a capable subordinate. That sum was no small amount. It was about the same as his own pocket money.

Unless it was for serious duties, it was very hard to get more spirit stones from the clan.

The following operation was then simple.

With two Foundation Establishment cultivators leading the team, plus Wang Yu acting as a living locator, no matter how skilled Zhou Tao was, he could not escape the Law Enforcement Hall’s pursuit.

In less than an hour, he was successfully captured.

Along with him were Luo Pinghu and three or four high-ranking members of the Alchemist Association. They had all been invited by Zhou Tao with the intention of discussing countermeasures.

Who knew that Wang Yu would act so quickly?

The cooperation had only been settled that very morning, the spirit stones had already been paid, and yet before a day had passed, the Law Enforcement Hall officers were summoned to arrest them. Truly ruthless.

Of course, Zhou Tao was not without retaliation.

He revealed that Wang Yu was actually a founder of the Alchemist Association and had also received a bribe of one hundred thousand spirit stones, trying to drag him down even in death.

Unfortunately for him, Wang never coveted greedily. He only took the part that was proper.

Zhuo Shouqing did not even ask, directly slapping Zhou Tao unconscious. Such blatant favoritism silenced the others.

The few high-ranking members, when searched, were found with a total of seven hundred thousand spirit stones, far more than Wang Yu had expected. This made Zhuo Shouqing even more satisfied.

In the coming days, continuing the arrests of the Association’s members would surely bring another considerable harvest.

Of course, the majority of the wealth had already been taken by him in one sweep.

“Good, good.”

“Wang Yu, you are truly my lucky star. It is far too wasteful for you to remain an outer sect disciple. Three days later, come again to the Law Enforcement Hall, and I guarantee you will be satisfied.”
