They say that an official without duties is truly carefree. Since Jiang Yuan angered the Gouchen Emperor and was dismissed by the Jade Emperor, he no longer had to clock in at the Criminal Investigation Department every day, gaining much more freedom.
The only downside was that he no longer received an extra 300 Taiji Golden Pills daily, forcing Jiang Yuan to spend over two hours grinding wild monsters after completing his daily tasks to make up for the lost cultivation from those 300 pills.
When Aoshi Longhuang heard that Jiang Yuan had also lost his immortal position, he finally felt a bit more balanced and didn't cause trouble for Jiang Yuan for a few days. But even though he didn't actively seek conflict, the grudge between Jiang Yuan and him was completely settled—irreversibly so.
Taking advantage of his newfound free time, Jiang Yuan began scouring the world for Aoshi Longhuang and Yidao Powanfa, the two behind all the recent chaos!
After flying around on his sword across the immortal realm map for half a day, Jiang Yuan finally spotted Aoshi Longhuang and Yidao Powanfa doing a Golden Pill quest!
Quietly rising higher, Jiang Yuan tailed the two on the ground. When they started collecting quest items, he swiftly descended before them!
"Blood Covenant Scroll, summon the power of the stars to manifest as Xuanwu, pledge to me!" "Blood Covenant Scroll, summon the power of the stars to manifest as Zhuque, pledge to me!" "Blood Covenant Scroll, summon the power of the stars to manifest as Baihu, pledge to me!" "Secret Mark!" "Xuanwu's Secret Art: Flood the Eight Wastelands!" "Zhuque's Secret Art: Bloody Feathers of Flame!" "Baihu's Secret Art: Seven Killing Swords!"
Summoning the sacred beasts and unleashing secret arts, Jiang Yuan executed it all in one fluid motion, instantly killing the unsuspecting Aoshi Longhuang and Yidao Powanfa with a red-name strike!
"Damn! It's Jiang Yuan, that bastard's ambushing us!"
Lying dead on the ground, Yidao Powanfa saw who attacked him from a corpse's perspective and immediately shouted in the chat channel.
The respawn point was close to their quest location. Jiang Yuan arrived early and killed the two again as soon as they revived!
"Jiang Yuan, is sneaking all you can do? Shameless!"
Yidao Powanfa, lying at the respawn point, cursed Jiang Yuan in the chat channel.
"Was it shameless when Aoshi Longhuang snatched my pet right in front of me? You two are trash!"
Jiang Yuan fired back without hesitation at Yidao Powanfa's insults.
"I'll just lie here and not get up. If you've got the guts, stay here and guard us all day."
Seeing that Jiang Yuan had no intention of letting him and Aoshi Longhuang go, Yidao Powanfa decided to give up and said to Jiang Yuan.
"Little lord here actually has time today to play with you two trash. If you've got the guts, stay lying there forever!"
Jiang Yuan said to Yidao Powanfa in the chat channel, then walked forward a few steps, found the right angle, and sat down right on Aoshi Longhuang's corpse's head!
"Damn! You're sitting on my head, get off!"
Aoshi Longhuang's corpse yelled at Jiang Yuan from the ground.
"Pfft!"
Jiang Yuan chuckled and farted right at the head of Aoshi Longhuang's corpse!
"Don't move, little trash, let me take a picture!"
Jiang Yuan sat on Aoshi Longhuang's corpse, his butt pressing down on the other's head, then opened the in-game camera, made a peace sign at the lens, and clicked the shutter with a *click*!
"Longhuang, you little trash, see how good my photography skills are? This picture will be on the forum tomorrow! Haha!"
Jiang Yuan sent the photo he just took in the chat channel, flashed a peace sign at Aoshi Longhuang's corpse, and said.
"You motherf*cker..."
Aoshi Longhuang, never having endured such humiliation, immediately revived on the spot to counterattack.
"Taunt!"
But as soon as he got up, he was taunted by Jiang Yuan's pre-summoned Celestial-tier Sand River Turtle, and the six sacred beasts swarmed him, instantly killing him!
"And you, little Yidao!"
After killing Aoshi Longhuang again, Jiang Yuan shifted his butt and sat on Yidao Powanfa's head, repeating the process and sending the photo to the chat channel.
"Ahhh! I'll kill you!"
Furious, Yidao Powanfa immediately revived and hit Jiang Yuan with his strongest skill, but it was completely blocked by the Water Healing Shield on Jiang Yuan!
After a few minutes, Jiang Yuan saw a crowd of players with the "Aoshi" prefix rushing toward his location—clearly, Aoshi Longhuang had called for backup.
"Xuanwu's Secret Art: Flood the Eight Wastelands!" "Zhuque's Secret Art: Bloody Feathers of Flame!" "Baihu's Secret Art: Seven Killing Swords!"
Three secret arts rained down overwhelmingly, turning the dozens of underlings Aoshi Longhuang summoned into corpses just like him, lying densely at the respawn point!
*Click!* *Click!*
The sound of a camera shutter rang out as Jiang Yuan, his name blood-red, stood atop the pile of Aoshi-prefixed players, striking various poses and taking selfies!
"Everyone, how do these photos look? Pretty good, right? Grandpa here is sending them to the game forum right now. What title should I use? Oh, I know—'Jiang Yuan and His Sons!'"
Jiang Yuan sent all the photos to his email, then said to Aoshi Longhuang and the others lying on the ground in the chat channel.
With that, Jiang Yuan waited to exit combat mode, then logged off on the spot.
His consciousness returned to reality. Jiang Yuan took off his gaming helmet, opened his email, downloaded all the photos to his computer, then opened the largest forum for *Wanjie* and posted a thread titled "Jiang Yuan and His Aoshi Guild Sons!"
After posting, Jiang Yuan stayed in front of the screen, waiting for comments below the thread.
Soon, someone browsed the thread and, upon seeing the people in the photos, immediately commented: "Holy crap! Whose subordinate is this guy? He's so fierce!"
Then, one comment after another appeared under Jiang Yuan's thread.
User: "Wow, first time seeing the Aoshi Guild get wiped out by one person!"
User "Big Foot Uncle": "Isn't Aoshi Longhuang a big shot in the Dragon Kingdom gaming circle? How did he end up looking like this?"
User "Wending Guild Xiao Fei": "Haha! How did the Aoshi Guild fall to this level? Getting sat on by someone's butt?"
After a night of spreading, when Jiang Yuan opened his thread the next day, he was shocked!
The thread had over ten thousand comments, and the views had reached hundreds of thousands!
Overnight, Jiang Yuan, this nobody, had unexpectedly gone viral in the Dragon Kingdom gaming circle!
