Chapter 238: Lend Me Your Weapon

The earth cracked, shaking for a thousand meters around.

Jiang Changkong delved deep underground, but the sensation vanished once more.

Just as he was about to leave, his phone rang—it was Xu Hengzhi calling: “President Jiang, all the Star Stones have been located.”

Jiang Changkong replied, “Go retrieve them. I have matters to attend to.”

“Yes,” Xu Hengzhi acknowledged before hanging up.

The seven of them had their own methods left behind by him, so he could fully trust them to handle it while he searched for whatever lay beneath the earth.

Holding the stone bead, Jiang Changkong flew around the isolated island. Whenever he sensed something, he would immediately bore a hole into the ground.

Yet, the speed at which that thing moved was truly astonishing. By the time he had drilled through the earth, it had already moved elsewhere.

Despite this situation, Jiang Changkong was not discouraged; instead, he felt a sense of anticipation.

His speed was such that even prodigies could only eat his dust, yet that thing could outpace him—it was undoubtedly of a high tier!

It likely wasn’t a living being. If it were alive, it would have emerged long ago and devoured the entire Sin Domain.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

Over these three days, Jiang Changkong had been drilling holes everywhere, leaving the entire Sin Domain riddled with holes, yet he still hadn’t found that thing.

Nor had he discovered the Spatial Passage beneath the earth.

Meanwhile, in the Sin Domain.

Heng Xueyue sat bored on a stone chair, accompanied by Heng Qingyue, the prodigies from the Nan family, and the Yao Guang Chamber of Commerce.

“Three days, another three days have passed, and we still haven’t found anything. Are we just going to spend the entire month in boredom like this?” Heng Xueyue said listlessly.

“This time, they’ve hidden themselves too well. Even my aunt can’t locate them,” Heng Qingyue sighed softly. “Wuyang, can you contact that person from your Nan family?”

Nan Wuyang, the prodigy of the Nan family, had short hair cascading over his shoulders and exuded a strong, masculine aura.

Nan Wuyang shook his head. “I can’t get through. They’ve blocked the signal.”

“Our person from Yao Guang can’t be reached either,” Yao Chan, the Yao Guang prodigy dressed in red, gently shook her head.

“What is Jiang Changkong doing?” Nan Wuyang asked.

Heng Xueyue curled her lip. “What else? Drilling holes, of course. That miser goes crazy at the sight of Star Stones. Now that the Star Stones are gone, he’s more anxious than anyone. For the past three days, he’s been drilling holes all over the Sin Domain.”

“That guy,” Nan Wuyang chuckled and shook his head. “By the way, they’ve suggested taking action against Jiang Changkong. What do you think?”

“Xiao Meng has already discussed cooperation with him. Our three families are all his allies. How can we take action against him?” Yao Chan gently rubbed her temples, her red lips glowing faintly. “How about we do the same as him and start drilling holes?”

“That’s an idea. But I’d like to see just how profound his Blazing Sun Star Power is,” Nan Wuyang said thoughtfully. “Just an ordinary spar, nothing involving interests.”

“For a miser like him, you’d have to offer Star Stones to get him to fight,” Heng Xueyue sneered, looking down on this aspect of Jiang Changkong.

Boom!

Suddenly, a deafening roar echoed through the air as three blazing suns simultaneously rose into the sky.

Golden light radiated for thousands of meters, accompanied by terrifyingly high temperatures that even the people in the Sin Domain could feel.

“Have they really taken action?” Nan Wuyang stood up abruptly.

“Let’s go take a look,” Heng Xueyue quickly rose to her feet.

In the distance, three blazing suns hung high in the sky, their boundless power sweeping in all directions.

Golden light transformed into blade rays, continuously splitting the earth and creating deep cracks hundreds of meters long.

Seven elders supported one another as they stood together, protected by three Taiji Diagrams that shielded them from the blazing sun’s attacks.

Before them, Martial Artists struggled desperately to withstand the onslaught of blade light.

The barrier lit up, with over a dozen beams of light soaring into the sky. Over a hundred Martial Artists raised the barrier.

“Hengzhi, that seems to be a high-tier barrier?” An elderly man squinted as he looked toward a massive barrier.

Allowing the blade’s radiance to fall, the barrier remained unshaken, not even a ripple appearing.

“This time, these people are truly shameless, even bringing a high-tier barrier inside. Isn’t there a rule against bringing in high-tier items?”

Xu Hengzhi’s expression turned grave.

The other six shook their heads, equally unclear about why a high-tier barrier had appeared.

A young man, his expression cold and stern, spoke: “Hand over your belongings. Over these three days, you’ve found quite a few Star Stones.”

“Young master, these Star Stones belong to President Jiang. We are carrying out tasks for President Jiang. Please do not make things difficult for us.” Xu Hengzhi spoke politely.

Regardless of the circumstances, anyone capable of possessing a high-tier barrier was not someone they could afford to provoke.

Even though the Sin Domain prohibited the entry of high-tier items, they had still managed to bring one in. Their identities were undoubtedly extraordinary.

“President Jiang? What kind of person is Jiang Changkong? With so many of us here, why should we fear a single Jiang Changkong?”

The young man said coldly: “I give you three breaths to hand over all the Star Stones and Sin Tokens. Otherwise, I’ll take your worthless lives!”

“You…”

The seven elders’ faces darkened, their eyes filled with gravity. They no longer had any Sin Tokens—they had all been given to Jiang Changkong.

Moreover, even if they did, they would never hand them over.

“Jin Chen, you’ve gone too far.”

Three figures arrived first, looking coldly at the young man.

“So it’s your three families. Are you here to back Jiang Changkong?”

The young man sneered disdainfully: “If you don’t want to compete for first place, don’t interfere with me. We also have several prodigies here.”

“Three of you, this matter has nothing to do with you. If you wish to join forces against Jiang Changkong, you are welcome.”

Three young men stepped forward, their auras terrifying as they coldly stared at the trio.

“The three breaths are up. Seven old fools, time to meet your end.”

Jin Chen shouted coldly, a wave of killing intent surging forth.

Boom!

Starlight descended, the Taiji Diagram trembled, and the full force of Star Power was sent flying back.

With a resounding crash, the starlight shattered, yet the high-tier barrier remained undisturbed.

“Jiang Changkong seems quite concerned about you seven old men.” Jin Chen’s gaze turned sinister.

The three young men remained indifferent: “What is there to fear? How long can this Taiji Diagram hold? With the high-tier Protective Shield, even if Jiang Changkong comes, it will be useless.”

“I truly feel ashamed for you. Four prodigies, yet you still need to rely on a high-tier Protective Shield to dare face a move left behind by Jiang Changkong.”

Heng Xueyue, who had hurried over, said disdainfully. As a prodigy herself, she felt her own standards had been lowered.

The four flushed with embarrassment, though the expression vanished in an instant. Jiang Changkong’s strength was too overwhelming. Without the high-tier Protective Shield, even with so many of them, they felt no sense of security.

After all, Jiang Changkong had single-handedly subdued a ruler as soon as he entered the Sin Domain. They believed that together they were stronger than Qing Feng, but not by much.

“Do you still want to stand up for Jiang Changkong? When he has good things, has he ever thought of you?

These past few days, he’s been constantly digging holes. Do you really think he’s looking for criminals? He has a treasure in his hands!”

A prodigy sneered.

“Enough talk. Let’s capture them first.” Jin Chen said coldly.

“Treasure?” Heng Xueyue and the others were taken aback: “Is there one?”

The three prodigies, including Nan Wuyang, shook their heads. They hadn’t paid much attention to Jiang Changkong.

“You all seem quite focused on this president.”

A figure descended, his gaze cold and sharp as he looked at the group of over a hundred Martial Artists.

Jin Chen and his three companions’ eyes lit up with delight as they sneered coldly, “Jiang Changkong, you’ve finally come out. Hand over all the treasures, Star Stones, and Sin Tokens in your possession.”

“Does this high-level Protective Shield give you such boldness?”

Jiang Changkong stared indifferently at the golden Protective Shield. A high-level shield was indeed powerful—could he break it?

Jin Chen let out a cold laugh. “What, do you think you can break it? With this shield, we can wear you down to death!”

Jiang Changkong’s eyes flickered with a golden light. “Nan Wuyang, lend me your weapon. If I succeed, I’ll give you ten Sin Tokens.”
