The sprawling Huang Family Ancestral Mansion is in chaos, the ground has cracked open, bodies are strewn everywhere, and the air is thick with the scent of blood.

None of the Huang Family disciples, from the highest to the lowest, were spared.

Just days ago, they had forced Jiang Shi; days later, they tasted the fruits of their own wickedness!

Truly, everything follows the cycle of heaven's law.

At this moment.

Jiang Shi walked within the vast Huang Family Ancestral Mansion, greedily scavenging all the resources available, large amounts of medicinal herbs dug out from the treasury.

Apart from those hidden in the cellar or secret chambers that he could not find, he had gathered almost all other herbs.

After all, the entire Huang Family Ancestral Mansion is enormous; even if there are cellars and secret chambers, he finds it hard to locate them.

But even so, he obtained a massive amount of herbs.

Enough to fill seven or eight carts.

All herbs useful to him were placed on a separate cart, but unfortunately, not many were beneficial, accumulating only half a cart.

Next came the secret manuals.

There were many and varied manuals within the Huang Family, ranging from ordinary manuals practiced by martial arts experts to unique family manuals, called the [Black Spirit Scripture], [Black Blood Force], [Poison Killing Palm], all related to their bloodline, requiring their Evil Corpse Bloodline to activate.

Especially the Black Spirit Scripture, exceedingly strange, practicing it without the Evil Corpse Bloodline might very well transform one's bloodline into the Evil Corpse Bloodline.

Not something ordinary people could cultivate.

Jiang Shi swiftly scanned through them, then furrowed his brows tightly, closing them again.

He decided not to touch these secret manuals.

With his human bloodline, there was no need to cultivate such monstrous techniques.

Though he previously practiced the Kong Family's [Giant Nerve Scripture], the [Giant Nerve Scripture] was not as bizarre; overall, the [Giant Nerve Scripture] was still a normal cultivation technique.

"This vast Huang Family has so little; truly disappointing, no wonder it has declined."

Jiang Shi looked around and muttered.

Even blood exchange herbs were scarce, not enough to complete a single set.

But upon reflection, it was understandable.

Even the Black Lotus Holy Sect lacked blood exchange herbs, let alone the Huang Family.

Compared to the Black Lotus Holy Sect, Yin Nan Huang Family was indeed inferior.

"However, these scavenged herbs can be used to repay the Black Lotus Holy Sect and borrow other herbs; good borrowing and returning leads to easier borrowing."

Jiang Shi thought silently.

His [Giant Nerve Scripture] had not yet reached perfection, nor had his [Golden Light Palm] been cultivated; both required powerful secret medicine as support, which only the Black Lotus Holy Sect could provide.

Moreover, by delivering such a bounty to the Black Lotus Holy Sect, he could certainly retrieve several super-grade martial arts manuals from them.

Jiang Shi continued searching the expansive Huang Family Ancestral Mansion.

The external world was in an uproar.

Numerous Jianghu figures huddled in the distance, discussing incessantly.

Everyone was incredibly shocked.

Because they noticed the commotion within the mansion seemed to have ceased.

The thunderous rumbling no longer continued.

"What happened? Is it over?"

"Did the Huang Family Ancestor really suppress the formidable foe?"

"Was that really Jiang Shi?"

...

In a room.

Jiang Shi made another discovery, tapping his palm on the wall, producing an echoing sound, suggesting a hidden compartment inside.

With curiosity, he casually tapped it, and with a bang, the wall shattered, revealing a hidden room within.

"There are indeed things here; these Huang Family disciples hid them well."

Jiang Shi's eyes lit up.

He walked over and found inside, apart from being filled with various gold and silver, many elixir pills and weapons, like a private treasure trove.

There were even rows of bookshelves, filled with numerous books.

Jiang Shi examined them one by one, eventually dragging them all out and filling another cart.

After completing this, Jiang Shi finally headed towards the Huang Family dungeon.

The dark and cold cellar reeked of pungent odors, filthy and chaotic, the smell of blood and rot was overwhelming, making tears nearly flow.

The entrance to the dungeon was empty, long abandoned.

He held his breath and walked towards the inner dungeon.

Various curses and pleas for mercy echoed throughout the dungeon, a chaotic cacophony.

"I'm innocent, Huang Family masters, please, don't keep me locked up anymore!"

"Sob, sob, sob, I'm willing to give all my family's possessions to the Huang Family to be let out."

"Please, let me out!"

"You Huang Family beasts, utterly heartless, I'll curse your ancestors to the eighteenth generation..."

...

"This is insufferable!"

Jiang Shi frowned as he walked through, annoyed by the cacophony, quickly discovering a group of Taoists imprisoned in the deepest section.

The group of Taoists was tortured to the point of being unrecognizable, clothes shredded, bloodied, hair disheveled, stained with fresh blood everywhere, starved to the bone, utterly miserable.

"Is that True Master Red Sun?"

Jiang Shi inquired.

A shadowy figure slowly rose from the corner, hair disheveled, bloodshot eyes looking towards Jiang Shi, "What... do you want?"

Other nearby Taoists also raised their heads to look at Jiang Shi, showing expressions of resentment and venom.

The dim light severely impaired their vision.

They still believed him to be a Huang Family member.

Jiang Shi sighed in relief, immediately tearing apart the prison door and walking inside, saying, "Senior, don't be alarmed, I am Jiang Shi, I've come to rescue you."

He broke the locks on these old Taoists, freeing them.
