Cultivation Pet Shop

Jiang Hei had been on the side watching the entire time, never taking any of the chances that he could have taken to run away.

Jiang Hei was from the Jiang Family and they had been following this dark crystal for quite a while, so he knew how powerful it was. It was even as powerful as the ancestor that had been cultivating deep down in the depths of the Jiang Family, ignoring all family matters.

But what he never thought would have happened had happened in the end.

As the crystal fell to the ground without any life, Jiang Hei had a mouth opened wide enough to stuff the crystal into.

His legs turned completely numb as he fell to the ground, not having any thoughts of resisting or running. His last mental pillar had been the crystal, but now that it had even been beaten, there was no hope left for him.

Lin Fan ignored Jiang Hei on the side since he knew there was nothing he could do and walked over to the crystal that had fallen to the ground. He casually picked it up in front of Jiang Hei and he just stood there looking it over without care.

This would have been a perfect chance for Jiang Hei to escape, but his legs wouldn't listen to him. This was something that Lin Fan already knew, which was why he did this.

Lin Fan couldn't make sense of the crystal in the end, but he didn't just throw it into his Spatial Ring, he gave it to Brainy since Brainy felt that there was something special with the crystal.

When Lin Fan was finally prepared to deal with Jiang Hei, there was a sudden cry of pain from the ground. It was only at that moment that Lin Fan remembered that there were still ten kids lying on the ground.

Lin Fan turned to the kids and with a wave of his hand, there was a butterfly that suddenly appeared beside him.

The butterfly flew over to where the kids were lying on the ground and it released a powder over those kids. As the powder wafted over them and they breathed it in, slowly their eyelids dropped before closing and they fell asleep.

This was one of the puppets that Brainy had asked Lin Fan for. This wasn't a powerful beast, but it was a very useful support beast.

For Brainy whose main strength was being able to control an entire army, it didn't just have powerful beasts. It also had support beasts like this Dream Butterfly that could buff or debuff any friends or foe.

Once the kids were put to sleep, Lin Fan also took out several pieces of cloth from his storage which he placed over the kids.

Then and only then did he turn back to Jiang Hei, standing over him like he was waiting for something.

It only took five minutes before there was a large crowd of slaves that came to this room, but they were all left outside and only Jiang Zhi Shu came in with a few trusted subordinates, leaving the rest to watch over the slaves.

When Lin Fan saw that Jiang Zhi Shu was here, he first told his subordinates to take care of the kids before waving for Jiang Zhi Shu to come over.

What Lin Fan did first was not take care of Jiang Hei, but rather he took out the crystal that Brainy had been examining and held it in front of Jiang Zhi Shu as he asked, "Do you know what this is?"

Jiang Zhi Shu was immediately taken aback, but he still looked over the crystal. After a while, he said in a confused voice, "Boss, what are you showing me this crystal for? Is there something special about it?"

Lin Fan could see that he was truly confused, so he just gave the crystal right back to Brainy before turning to Jiang Hei and asking, "Is he on your list?"

Jiang Zhi Shu looked at Jiang Hei and hesitated for a second before nodding, "Yes, he is."

Lin Fan nodded before stepping to the side, "Then he's yours."

Jiang Zhi Shu looked at Jiang Hei for a bit before saying, "Boss, you kill him."

Lin Fan shook his head, "No, I promised you that I would help you solve that list of yours and I won't go back on my word."

Jiang Zhi Shu naturally knew the enmity between Jiang Hei and Lin Fan since it was something that had been well known in Rock Mountain City. He had even heard of Jiang Hei's plan to take care of Song Shu and Angela, so he knew that Lin Fan would definitely want to kill him.

Just the fact that Lin Fan was already willing to let him kill Jiang Hei was enough to move his heart, so he didn't insist on actually doing it.

But seeing how determined Lin Fan was, Jiang Zhi Shu nodded before raising his spear.

Jiang Hei was just sitting there in a daze, his mind had been broken the moment he saw the dark figure being defeated and he definitely wasn't in the right mind to resist.

Jiang Zhi Shu's spear quickly pierced right through Jiang Hei's throat and swept out, cutting off his head.

Jiang Hei was still lost in his own world at the very last second, not even knowing how he had died.

In truth, Lin Fan could have brought Jiang Hei back and he actually should have since Jiang Hei was after all an elder of the Jiang Family. No matter how low his position was among the other elders, the position of an elder was still incomparably high.

Just with that position, he would have known quite a few things about the Jiang Family, things that would definitely help Lin Fan.

But for Lin Fan's plan to work, Jiang Hei had to die here.

Only the death of an elder would place enough pressure on the Jiang Family that they would start acting rashly, anything less wouldn't have the same effect. Even if he were to capture him, that still gave the Jiang Family the hope that he would still be alive, so they would act carefully.

Only when there was a true threat to their position, such as the permanent loss of an elder would they have to make bold moves to maintain their position.

It was just too bad that Lin Fan hadn't brought Momonga along to use the soul search on Jiang Hei before killing him. That way, they could have had the best of both worlds.

But still, it didn't mean that they would be going back empty handed.

When Jiang Hei's followers had left to take care of the slave uprising, Lin Fan had sent Jiang Zhi Shu and his subordinates after them.

Jiang Hei's followers had only been in the Gold Realm, so for the Platinum Realm Jiang Zhi Shu, it was as easy as waving his hand to capture them alive.

Lin Fan was planning to bring them back and interrogate them for information since no one would care if they went missing or not.

The biggest gain there was actually the follower named Jiang Tu.

Lin Fan had seen how he had acted around Jiang Hei earlier, so he was certain that this Jiang Tu was definitely a spy, either working for the family head's branch or one of the other elders' branch.

Compared to an elder, this spy that spied on elders would definitely have more information since it was his job to gather information.

So that was the other reason why Lin Fan wasn't worried about killing Jiang Hei.

After they finished off Jiang Hei, Lin Fan walked out of the room followed by Jiang Zhi Shu. When he came out, he saw the large crowd standing outside. There were several hundred slaves that had been gathered here.

Lin Fan casually asked Jiang Zhi Shu, "What's the situation with these slaves?"

Jiang Zhi Shu replied, "Most of them were willing to join us when they heard that we were planning to take down the Jiang Family. After all, they've suffered quite a bit at the hands of the Jiang Family."

Lin Fan then asked in a more serious voice, "Are they trustworthy though?"

Jiang Zhi Shu hesitated a bit before saying, "I'll take care of them. Boss, you won't have to worry about anything."

Lin Fan was silent for a bit before giving a slow nod.

In his heart, Jiang Zhi Shu had already firmly devoted himself to following Lin Fan. After all the things that Lin Fan had done for him, he no longer doubted Lin Fan like before. He believed that Lin Fan really would be able to take down the Jiang Family and that gave him hope to do his best.

Lin Fan didn't bother speaking to the slaves at all as he turned to head to the exit.

Jiang Zhi Shu already knew what Lin Fan wanted, so he had his subordinates lead all the slaves along to the exit elevator.

Lin Fan was the first one to go up and he went up alone since the rest of his subordinates were taking care of slaves.

Lin Fan wasn't worried about the Jiang Family's reaction since he knew that they would care more about what happened at his residence than what happened here. With Angela's personality, she must have slaughtered everyone and the ones they sent to deal with him must have been elites, so that would also cause great losses for the Jiang Family.

In the end, they had dealt quite a heavy blow to the Jiang Family, which was exactly what he planned to do.

It had been a long night.
