In years of famine and drought, their village even rejected fatty meat.

Chapter 537 A Choice from the Heart

"I see."

Chen Dao also knew that such top-grade martial arts were not easy to obtain, so he was not too disappointed when he did not find the Overlord Spear on Xia Yuanying.

Looking up at the magnificent Qingwang Mansion, Chen Daochao walked over. Chen Cheng, who was covered in blood, gave him a wink, and then the two stepped into the Qingwang Mansion.

Chen Dao hadn't forgotten his purpose in coming to the prefectural city. Initially, he wanted to obtain the Python Blood Grass and Python Bone Grass from Xia Yuanying through a normal transaction. Now that Xia Yuanying was dead, the transaction was obviously impossible, so he had no choice but to rob them outright.

"Should we go in and take a look too?"

Jiang Canghai's eyes flickered as he saw Chen Dao's actions.

There must still be a large amount of python blood grass and python bone grass left in the Qingwang Mansion. Now that the Qingwang Mansion's military force has been completely wiped out by that young man, the Qingwang Mansion is as tempting as a treasure trove with a large number of treasures but no danger.

"I'm not going!"

Zhu the Butcher shook his head without hesitation. Of course, he wanted to get more Python Blood Grass and Python Bone Grass, since that would mean he had a greater chance of breaking through to the third rank.

But Zhu the Butcher did not lose his mind because of greed. Xia Yuanying and the guards of the Prince's Mansion were killed by Chen Dao and his group. In other words, all the treasures in the Qing Prince's Mansion at this time were Chen Dao's spoils of war. If he also went up to get a share, he would be making an enemy of Chen Dao.

Having witnessed Xiao Yuan's fight with Xia Yan, Butcher Zhu had no desire to become enemies with Chen Dao and then die at Xiao Yuan's hands.

Li Qingsong and Qianli'er both shook their heads in refusal.

Seeing this, Jiang Canghai had no choice but to give up.

His original intention was to join forces with Zhu the Butcher and the other two to enter the Qingwang Mansion and get a share of the spoils. Four peak fourth-rank martial artists might not be able to defeat the little beast together, but at least they would have the leverage to negotiate and might be able to get some medicinal herbs from the boy.

Unfortunately... the boy and the little beast's achievements were too outstanding, leaving Butcher Zhu and the others with no courage to divide the spoils.

"Run."

"Run!"

"A strongman has broken in! Run!"

"..."

As Chen Dao stepped through the gates of the Qingwang Mansion, the first thing he saw was a chaotic scene.

Those who can survive in this strictly rule-bound mansion are definitely intelligent people.

The moment the attack on the Qingwang Mansion began, the servants inside immediately turned their attention to the situation outside.

After the death of the Green King and realizing that the Green King's Mansion was doomed, they immediately made a choice based on their conscience.

Those with less courage would choose to flee the Qingwang Mansion directly, while those with more courage would first go to the Qingwang Mansion's warehouse, take a large amount of gold and silver treasures, and then escape.

The first thing Chen Dao saw when he entered the Qingwang Mansion was this chaotic scene, with everyone running for their lives, trying to escape the mansion.

However, they all tacitly avoided the main entrance and chose to escape from other entrances.

Of course, some loyal servants chose to confront Chen Dao head-on.

For example, at this moment, a group of eunuchs held a knife and angrily denounced Chen Dao: "You rebellious lowly commoner, how dare you kill the prince! When His Majesty finds out about this, he will surely exterminate your entire family!"

Chen Dao glanced at the eunuch with the shrill voice and said casually, "Kill him!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Yuan transformed into a blur, and in less than a breath, she slashed the throats of these eunuchs one after another, completely robbing them of their ability to speak and taking their lives.

"Cheng-ge, go and grab a tongue."

"Yes."

Chen Dao gave the order, and Chen Cheng immediately sprang into action. Before long, he returned with a eunuch in tow. After casually tossing the trembling eunuch, who was carrying a bulging bundle, on the ground, Chen Cheng said, "Brother Dao, we've caught him."

"Ah."

Chen Dao's face showed approval.

In places like the Prince Qing's mansion, eunuchs often held a much higher status than ordinary servants, so the eunuchs that Chen Cheng had captured were suitable for questioning.

"Hero, spare your life! Hero, spare your life!"

The eunuch, who had been thrown to the ground by Chen Cheng, scrambled to Chen Dao's feet and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Hero, I am just a eunuch and have never done anything wrong. Please spare my life."

The eunuch was clearly terrified.

Anyone who saw themselves being carried by a burly man covered in blood would probably turn pale with fright.

Not to mention... before that, he had secretly observed the situation outside and saw Chen Dao crush Qing Wang's head with one foot.

Faced with such a powerful figure who even dared to kill the King of Qing, it's a testament to the eunuch's strong mental fortitude that he didn't faint from fright.

Of course, he didn't faint from fright, but he was so scared that he peed his pants.

Because eunuchs lack a certain organ, their control over their urethra is far inferior to that of normal people. Therefore, when they are frightened, urine will involuntarily gush out and wet their entire crotch.

The stench of fish filled the air, and Chen Dao couldn't help but take two steps back, frowning as he said, "Stand up and talk properly, or don't blame me for killing you."

"Yes Yes Yes!"

The eunuch quickly stood up, afraid of being even a second too late.

Chen Dao then asked, "Do you know where Xia Yuanying's Python Blood Grass and Python Bone Grass are located?"

"I know, I know!"

The terrified eunuch dared not conceal anything and hurriedly replied, "The python blood grass and python bone grass obtained by the Prince of Qing are stored in the Prince's warehouse."

"Where's the warehouse? Never mind, just lead the way!"

"Alright. Follow me, hero!"

The eunuch led the way, and soon brought Chen Dao and the other to the front of the Prince's warehouse. They found that the warehouse door had been forcibly broken open, and through the broken door, they could see the messy scene inside.

Clearly, the gold and silver treasures carried by the servants who fled the Qingwang Mansion earlier were all taken from this warehouse.

"This is the Prince's warehouse."

The eunuch leading the way said, "The Prince's mansion stores all its grain, herbs, gold, silver, and treasures here, but..."

The eunuch glanced at Chen Dao cautiously and said, "Because you just killed the Prince of Qing, many people in the mansion know that the Prince of Qing's mansion is doomed. Therefore, many people forcibly broke open the warehouse door and took away a lot of gold and silver treasures from the warehouse."

As he spoke, the eunuch hid the bundle in his hand behind his back. Inside the bundle were gold and silver treasures that he had also brought from the warehouse.

Chen Dao didn't miss the eunuch's little tricks, but he didn't care.

Chen Dao definitely couldn't take all that gold and silver treasure with him. After all, there were only two of them, including Chen Cheng. Even if Xue Qi, Jiang Weiyu, and the others were added, it would be impossible for them to take away a large amount of gold and silver treasure.

Therefore, Chen Dao was most concerned about the python blood grass and python bone grass in the warehouse.

"Are the python blood grass and python bone grass still there?"
