Yin Rong and Steward Wang, still bound, watched in stunned silence. A moment later, immense joy and shock flooded their hearts.
'He won! Jiang Che actually managed to kill a Bone Forging Realm expert, a whole realm above his own!'
Jiang Che let out a long breath, calming the churning Qi Blood within him.
He walked over to Yin Rong and Steward Wang, slicing through their ropes with his blade. "I'm late. I apologize for the scare, Uncle, Uncle Wang."
Yin Rong was so emotional he could barely speak. "Not at all! Young Master Jiang, you've saved our lives! If it weren't for you, we..."
He struggled, trying to bow in gratitude.
Jiang Che quickly stopped him. "There's no need for formalities, Uncle! I am a Tributor for the Yin Family. This is my duty. Please, sit and rest for a moment. Wait for me."
With that, he turned and began expertly looting the corpse.
He found a stack of gold notes and some loose gold on Ba Hui, then quickly entered the inner room to search.
