Chapter 587: Kill To Establish Authority
Translator: StackThatCoin Editor: Hitesh_
Mu Hai, the Minister of Agriculture Court in Hai Province, was a thin, old man, with a neatly trimmed goatee . The most eye-catching part about him was a dazzling green jade finger guard that he wore on his left little finger, whose surface was covered with tiny and complicated runes . The sharp, pointy tip glinted with a bright gleam that made one shudder at the sight of it . Obviously, it was a powerful magical item .
The former Prefecture Overseer of Hai Province had already fled, as well as those officials who were loyal to him . Therefore, those who remained in Ningbo City were from the neutral fraction who had little to do with the former Prefecture Overseer, and felt that there would be no danger to their lives . Or so they thought .
When they heard that Yu He had ordered Mu Hai to be captured and executed, the officials of Ningbo City shivered and looked at Yu He in shock . Mu Hai, in particular, jumped up in horror, waved his hands about in the air, and shrieked, "Your Excellency Prefecture Overseer, what crime have I committed? I have always been conscientious and done my very best . Never once have I made the slightest mistake!"
A cold gleam flashed across Yu He's eyes as he shook his head and said with a grin, "You have never made a mistake? Three years ago, you led a team of pathfinders and found a 'Nine-hearts Jade-bones Fragrance Tree' on a nameless mountain . Now tell me, where did the 'Nine-hearts Jade-bones Spirit Replenishing Grass' attached to the tree go?"
Mu Hai froze on the spot with a jolt .
Shrouded in the cold, grayish-white flame, Yu He slowly landed on the ground . The square was paved with thick black boulders, and as he landed, the boulders beneath his feet produced a faint crackling noise . A large patch of black boulder became grayish white as if their life force was completely sucked away, and gradually caved in . A breeze blew by and brought away dust from the boulders, leaving behind a deep pit in their place .
In Wu Qi's mind, he quickly went through the information of the Nine-hearts Jade-bones Fragrance Tree and the Nine-hearts Jade-bones Spirit Replenishing Grass . The tree was a supreme material for crafting, and even a peak first tier Heaven Immortal could use it to craft all sorts of wonderful things . Although it was only a supplementary item, its value was extremely high . The pill box crafted with it could preserve the medicinal strength of pills to the greatest degree, and if a spirit pill was stored in the box all the year round, the pill would gain a wisp of wood element energy that could nourish one's internal organs and restore one's immortal soul . It was an extremely valuable effect .
And, if it fell into the hands of Fiend Immortals or Demon Immortals who practiced mystic arts such as Poisonous Gu and the likes, it could be made into an Insect Gu that had the ability to fuse with the poison of various vegetation, which would add endless variations and power to the Gu .
In addition, the Nine-hearts Jade-bones Fragrance Tree could also be used in a variety of offensive magical treasures as supplementary crafting material, especially immortal items of thunder, fire, and wind element . More or less, after adding a piece of it as one of the crafting materials, the power of the immortal item could be improved by an average of thirty percent .
This proved how precious the Nine-hearts Jade-bones Fragrance Tree was . But, compared with the Nine-hearts Jade-bones Spirit Replenishing Grass, the tree was no different from garbage . The grass must be grown on the Fragrance Tree . A seasoned Spirit Replenishing Grass was a fourth-grade spirit grass, and the pill refined from it could only be used by Gold Immortals . A pill concocted with it could instantly restore the immortal energy of a Gold Immortal who had depleted all his energy . And the most shocking of all, after consuming it, the immortal energy in his body would always maintain itself at its maximum level for one whole month! Despite how powerful the spells he cast were, his immortal energy would never reduce!
If two Gold Immortals were locked in a desperate battle, the one who had taken the pill concocted with the Spirit Replenishing Grass could unleash powerful immortal spells at any time, while the other had his immortal energy reducing at a constant rate . It went without asking who would the final victor be . Among Gold Immortals, the price of Nine-hearts Jade-bones Spirit Replenishing Grass had been touted as being astronomical!
Yu He stared at Mu Hai in a stately manner and with a cold grin . "At the expense of the Fragrance Tree and Spirit Replenishing Grass, you had sent your two b*stard sons to some supreme Gold Immortal and made them his disciples . I can slaughter your entire clan with just this crime alone . In addition, you have also received many benefits from that Gold Immortal, such as some spirit herbs that can prolong your life . Am I right?"
Mu Hai stepped back while shuddering, staring at Yu He with his teeth clenched . "How did you know this?"
Yu He smiled and shook his head indifferently . "This is not the only thing I know . After you ganged up with that Gold Immortal, using the advantage of being the Minister of Agriculture Court who is in charge of the farmlands and forests, you have harvested countless spirit herbs and secretly traded with him . Do you want me to list down all the notorious deeds you've done one by one?"
Mu Hai howled at the top of his voice, "Let me know the reason that brings death to me! How did you get to know these things?"
Yu He smiled at Wu Qi and clapped his hands . As the crisp clapping echoed out, a group of fierce soldiers clad in black armor, who were the private guards of the Yu Clan, rushed out of a street from the east side of the square, escorting a group of men and women . An old woman, tightly bound with python tendons and with two steel blades placed behind her neck, was shoved to the front by four soldiers . Upon seeing the old woman, Mu Hai snapped, "What is going on? Your Excellency, are you really going to slaughter my entire clan?"
With a cruel smile on his face, Yu He said coolly, "The person who reported you is your wife . "
The old woman rolled her eyes, and a fierce gleam suddenly flashed through her dull eyes . Mu Hai stepped back in horror . "Impossible!" He screamed, "Wei Wa and I have had nine sons . How could she betray me when the love between us is so deeply rooted?"
Wu Qi shook his head slightly . It was clear that Yu He's series of blows had driven Mu Hai to the brink of collapse . He did not know how old Mu Hai was, but judging from his cultivation base, he should be hundreds of years old at the least . The wife who he had married for hundreds of years, the woman whom he had loved and shared the same bed with, was actually the person who betrayed him . How could Mu Hai accept it?
