Chapter 37 - Not leaving a single person alive

Now that the sect became a silent place, Jean could hear some details that he couldn't hear before.

Like snores coming from the basement…

Jean: The fuċk? Did I let some alive?

He walked to the basement, and found a small dungeon that contained some people, men, women, children, elderly… Mostly nȧkėd women though…

When his footsteps resounded in the dungeon, some nearby people woke up and saw Jean, the women's bodies trembled from fear, but an elder with good memory asked.

Old Man: Are you… A new disciple?

Jean: The entire branch of Xiao Sect is dead.

The ones who heard that flinched and looked at him in surprise, but the same elder of before talked again.

Old Man: Hahaha… If you wanted to make us happy, you did it, boy…

Jean: Oh nono, I really killed everyone with poison… And I am not going to leave witnesses either…

Old Man: W-What…?

The ȧssault rifle that he got before reappeared on his arms, some people could see strange white symbols on the "Thing" that seemed as if they meant something, and the last thing they saw was a hole in the tip of the "Thing" aimed at them…

Even though Jean was someone at the 8th Nascent Profound Realm, he still felt a great recoil from the weapon due to not being used from it, as expected of a True Profound weapon…

After he reloaded the gun 8 or 9 times, he killed every prisoner in the dungeon, apparently he just need to will it, and a load full of bullets appears in his hand, interesting, right?

After collecting their bodies too, he left the dungeon and reached the most interesting part… The Treasury!

After he deactivated the defensive arrays and formations, he opened stone gate, which as expected, it released a loud sound in the entire place, this would wake up anyone here… And he found… Another stone gate?

Jean: ...No, we aren't doing that shit, are we?

Fortunately, it wasn't that trick of opening many gates and finding nothing at the end… After opening all 3 the stone gates, he finally reached the treasury.

Rows and rows of shelves made of black wood appeared in his vision, after he smelled a bit, he felt that those black boxes contained good medicinal herbs. Then he looked around and saw something that struck his heart…

Jean: Hohohoho!

Elixirs, rare treasures, profound cores, many kinds of purple crystals, uncommon metals, precious jades, weapons, armors, even the Sect's Arts… Even though the last one was useless, still, everything was so great that almost made Jean release a tear from his eyes…

After emptying everything, he got to the jades, and look at what he found… Purple Veined Heaven Crystal. It wasn't the God Crystal, but at least he was a step nearer from the objective that Jasmine placed on him… even if he needed more than a million of tons of that shit to get the 35 thousand kilograms of God Crystals.

There were over a hundred thousand purple profound coins!

...And that… Poison Fire Rod? This shit was a motherfucking shotgun with poisonous bullets! It may be a bit old-styled, but a shotgun is still a shotgun!

...Sky Tremor Bombs? What the hell happened here? Did someone reincarnated before me and created these weapons? This is a weirdly-shaped grenade that works with Profound Energy!

After finishing looting everything, he left, he didn't wear any armor because it would slow him down, and as a weapon, he just held the Assault Rifle at his back, together with the Poison Fire Rod, the Taser at his left side and a Nascent Profound dagger at his right side.

They weren't the right weapon for him, except for the firearms, so the moment he would enter the Blue Wind Profound Palace, he would try to find the right weapon for him… Maybe a greatsword.

He needed a longer range, and handling something heavy, a spear was good, but it can defend the holder only against other weapons, it is hard to defend against profound energy attacks, and the big frame of a greatsword will be useful against them, besides, it holds a certain "Tyrannical" feeling when holding it.

Then he checked his watch…

[5:40]

[D: "Deathdealing"]

Jean: Alright, the job is done! Now… Where should I go…

He could go directly at the Blue Wind Profound Palace, but he needs to stabilize better his current cultivation, and train his body a bit better…. He heard that there was a certain place called Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.

There were violent Nascent and Earth Profound Beasts all over the mountains, with a rumor about Sky Profound Beasts. He obviously couldn't kill the beasts for the Almighty to work on them, but he could use the corpses of the weaker ones to make zombies, or kill them while he uses the Overkill.

Alright, next destination, Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Range.

To reach that place it may need 1 or 2 days with the Dodge Tomahawk at full speed, and he finally could use it at its 100%! It's an absolute win for him!

He materialized it from the Sky Poison Pearl before he jumped over it and turned on the engine, then he shot out towards the city gates before he stopped.

Jean: I almost forgot to warn Yuanba… Let's go back a bit…

He made a 180° turn and drove towards the New Moon Profound Palace. Since he was in a city, he couldn't go directly at 350 mph and crash somewhere…

Jean: Alright… Where is Yuanba…

He took a step forward, and two shouts immediately stopped him.

Xia Yuanba/Lan Xueruo: Brother-in-Law!!/Junior Brother Jean!!

Jean turned around, and saw Xia Yuanba and Lan Xueruo running towards him with a worried face. Xia Yuanba immediately tackled Jean, who stumbled back in surprise from that giant mass of flesh and bones rushing towards him.

Xia Yuanba: Brother-in-Law!! Are you alright!? I heard from Senior Sister that you were going to the Xiao Sect… And I was really worried!!!!

Jean: Yeah, yeah… I'm alright, don't worry. I already fixed my problems with the Xiao Sect.

Lan Xueruo: Eh? Then…

Jean: Yep, there are only 6 more Major Sects in this city. Xiao Sect is no more, not a single person that was in that sect is alive, except me.

Xia Yuanba and Lan Xueruo gasped in shock at that news, and when they checked Jean better, they noticed some things that weren't there before, like those weirdly-shaped weapons on his back.

Xia Yuanba: Eh?! But the Xiao Sect isn't here anymore! You don't need to run!

Jean: Well, technically there would be some problems when the main sect will send some people to check over, so it's best for me to leave.

Lan Xueruo: Then-

Jean: Yeah, I know, but I won't follow you for now. I want to go to train a bit outside before reaching the Blue Wind Profound Palace. I will come in at least 1 month of time, I hope you can wait for me, alright?

Lan Xueruo: But…

Jean: Hoho? I have encountered you at least 3 times the entire time and you are so worried… It couldn't be-

Lan Xueruo: NO! It's because I am worried about you as your Senior Sister!!

Jean was in a dramatic pose while Lan Xueruo shouted at him in a comical manner. The next moment, Jean started to laugh while Lan Xueruo turned her head away, hiding a pout.

Xia Yuanba cluelessly titled his head before his titanic body reached Jean, who walked behind a wall.

Xia Yuanba: What's the matter, Brother-in-Law?

Jean: Ok, the thing I will say now will shock you a bit… I know the reason that your cultivation is so slow.

Xia Yuanba: Huh? Isn't it because I don't have much potential on it?

Jean: No, you have more than enough for that. The problem is that you have special Profound Veins. The Tyrannical Emperor's Divine Veins.

Xia Yuanba: Tyrannical… Emperor… Divine Veins…?

He was surprised that he possessed something with such an intimidating name, he trusted Jean, so he didn't question it.

Jean: Yeah, your veins are really powerful, so powerful that if you activate them, you can reach the Emperor Profound Realm, or even the Tyrant Profound Realm in a single night!

Xia Yuanba gasped in shock and covered his mouth. Emperor Profound Realm in a single night?! This is something that never happened in the entire story of the Profound Sky Continent!

Xia Yuanba: A-And how do I activate them…?

Jean: This is the problem… If you can't awaken them, you will never break through the True Profound Realm and just cultivating in the Nascent Profound Realm will be 10 times harder than now. But to awaken them… You need ambition.

Xia Yuanba: A-Ambition? But I already have it, I want to be strong…

Jean: No, not at that level… You need an heart of a tyrant, you need to wish for power more than anything else, that ambition alone need to outweigh all other aspirations you have.

Xia Yuanba: That…

Jean: I know, it's a bit hard for someone as gentle as you, but don't worry. One day, you will find that "Trigger" that will help you to awaken the Tyrannical Emperor's Divine Veins. For now, you just need to continue to live as always, ok?

Xia Yuanba: Yes, thanks to warn me about it, Brother-in-Law.

Jean smiled and patted his big back.

Jean: It's ok, you and my little aunt were the ones to help me when I was "Crippled", this is the least I can do, now I need to leave.

Xia Yuanba: Mm, bye Brother-in-Law, and be careful on your journey!

Jean: I will.

After talking with him, he left the New Moon Profound Palace, leaving Xia Yuanba and Lan Xueruo waving at him, he hopped over his Dodge Tomahawk and drove towards the city gates, heading to the Ten-Thousand Beast Mountain Range.
