Starting to Gain Experience from Push-Ups Chapter 1410 - 681:

After speaking, he raised his right hand, the tips of his fingers faintly glowing with a mysterious light.

"Don’t kill me! I’m useful!"

Supervisor Wu’s pupils shrank suddenly, and he hurriedly kneeled forward two steps, shouting loudly:

"I’ve been working for Jiang Chen for thirty years, I know all his secrets! The forces he contacts, the hidden strongholds of his subordinates, I know them all. Keep me alive, and I can help you eliminate future troubles!"

Seeing this, Qian Dongming also scrambled to crawl to Fang Cheng’s feet.

"Hero, please show mercy!"

At this moment, the old man couldn’t care less about the dignity of being a chairman, as he begged tearfully:

"I have money, a lot of money! I have a biomedical group worth hundreds of billions outside. As long as you spare my life, I’ll immediately transfer all the shares and assets to your name."

"You have godlike abilities, paired with my wealth that rivals nations. You truly are the king of this world!"

His mouth spewed one flattering word after another.

Although he was already in the late stages of cancer, hanging by a thread, his inherent fear of death remained deeply rooted.

If not, he wouldn’t have willingly allowed Jiang Chen to use him, becoming a henchman who searched far and wide for living blood.

Fang Cheng looked down at the two condescendingly, his eyes calm and non-committal.

Cheng Jiashu stroked his chin, seeming to consider seriously for a moment, and then asked:

"You’ve been operating in Ancient Locust Village for decades, stirring up such a big commotion. How many people in the outside world know the secret here?"

Supervisor Wu swallowed and hurriedly answered:

"Besides the two of us, only those village guards under Spirit’s control know, but they can’t leave Ancient Locust Village."

"As for outsiders, including our group’s employees, they all think this is just a secret sanatorium development project. Everyone sent here has their identity completely erased, becoming one of the village guards."

"What about the Special Search Team?"

Cheng Jiashu asked further:

"They are searching the world for Jiang Chen’s whereabouts, haven’t they traced it back to you?"

"No!"

Supervisor Wu answered with extreme certainty:

"We interfered with the geomagnetic field around the village, blocking all electronic signals and detection devices, the Special Search Team’s noses, no matter how sharp, can’t detect this deep in the wilderness."

"Yes, yes!"

Qian Dongming nodded repeatedly in agreement:

"All our operational funds are funneled through offshore shell companies, the police could never trace it here, we’ve been very thorough!"

Cheng Jiashu nodded slightly.

Then, he shifted the conversation, suddenly throwing out a question:

"Do you have a key or method to open the place where Jiang Chen stores his treasures?"

Supervisor Wu’s expression froze, seemingly with something hard to convey.

He raised his head, meeting Cheng Jiashu’s gradually chilling gaze, his heart tightened.

Not daring to hesitate for a moment, he quickly answered:

"Yes! Yes! Please wait a moment!"

He turned and stumbled back to the side hall, not trying to escape, but directly running towards one of the rooms, as though looking for something.

In less than half a minute, Supervisor Wu returned quickly holding a bronze box covered in patina.

He carefully placed the box at the steps, pointing at the intricate patterns on it, saying:

"The key to the treasure vault is in the box, it requires a specific magic formula to open the door, and the spell is engraved on the surface of the box. If you want to learn, I can teach you."

Cheng Jiashu, having received a positive answer, showed a slight smile.

He then stared closely at Supervisor Wu and asked:

"Did Jiang Chen ever tell you a secret, that the treasure vault is actually connected to another space?"

Upon hearing this, Supervisor Wu was stunned, full of confusion, saying:

"Another space? I don’t know, sir... oh no, Jiang Chen, that guy never mentioned this to me. He only said it’s the place where he stores antique treasures and told me to guard it tightly."

Seeing that his expression didn’t seem deceitful, Cheng Jiashu didn’t continue questioning.

Fang Cheng crossed his arms in front of his chest, then asked the question he was most concerned about:

"Besides the true body buried in Ancient Locust Village, does Jiang Chen have any other places where he stores spare bodies?"

"As far as I know, there shouldn’t be any."

Supervisor Wu pondered for a moment, then shook his head and replied:

"Although Jiang Chen is cunning, he values his vessel greatly. When the Divine Soul is asleep, he needs someone in the real world to manage and care for it."

"I’ve followed him for decades, understand him a bit, and can confirm that all his trump cards are in the Inner World of the Ancient Locust Village. Even if there are spare bodies elsewhere, as long as the Divine Soul anchored inside the true body is destroyed, he can’t continue to live."

After speaking, Supervisor Wu observed the situation, calculating how to escape in his heart.

To show his stance and earn vitality, he bit his teeth and started to curse his former master:

"That old monster actually never treated us like humans. Thirty years ago, I was forced by him, which is why I ended up in this ghastly state!"

"At that time, if I chose not to obey, I would immediately have my blood drained, and even my family would be harmed. I had no choice but to compromise."

Speaking so, he raised his right hand, held three fingers together, and vowed to the heavens:

"You two elders, everything I said just now is true. If there’s a single lie, may I suffer a terrible death."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, an unexpected change occurred.

Supervisor Wu’s rigid face suddenly twisted, as if countless worms were biting and crawling under his skin.

He suddenly grabbed his own neck, his eyes bulged outward, and he emitted a hoarse leaking noise akin to a broken bellows from his throat.

"Uh... Help... Help me..."

He painfully fell to the ground, his body violently convulsing.

Shortly after, a large mouthful of stinking, nauseating black blood gushed out from his mouth and nostrils, splashing onto the cobblestones with a hissing corrosive sound.

Within only a few breaths, Supervisor Wu’s body stopped convulsing.

His exposed skin rapidly shriveled and blackened, flesh visibly decaying and peeling away, seeping out foul-smelling black pus from the pores.

In the blink of an eye, he turned into a bloated, decayed corpse, slumping weakly at the bottom of the steps.

Fang Cheng furrowed his brow, a touch of astonishment flashing in his eyes.

Xu Hao jumped back in shock, pointing at Supervisor Wu who had turned into a corpse, exclaiming:

"Damn! Turns out this old guy was really lying! The heavens have eyes, karma came way too fast!"

Qian Dongming, slumping at the side and seeing Supervisor Wu’s tragic state, turned pale with fright as a warm, foul stench streamed from his crotch.

"It’s not karma."

Cheng Jiashu sneered coldly, then began to explain:

"Jiang Chen is wickedly meticulous. He secretly curses every servant granted the Corpse Ancestor True Blood to ensure their absolute loyalty."

He stepped forward, picked up the bronze box, and continued:

"Thus, once Jiang Chen truly dies, this symbiotic curse automatically activates."

"Plus, just now, in an attempt to please us, he revealed the secret of the treasure vault and even publicly insulted Jiang Chen. This equates to betraying and assassinating the master, directly intensifying the curse’s backlash. If he doesn’t die, who else would?"

The chilly night wind swept through, rustling the withered weeds in the courtyard.

Xu Hao inhaled sharply, rubbed the goosebumps on his arms, muttering to himself:

"That old monster won’t let people rest even in death, his means are too sinister."

Fang Cheng turned his head to look at Cheng Jiashu

"You mentioned earlier that you discovered a big secret at the bottom of the well. Is it referring to this treasure vault?"

"Correct."

Cheng Jiashu nodded, holding the box in his arm:

"Actually, just now, I only felt a sealed door at the bottom, and with a casual bluff, Supervisor Wu revealed everything himself."

Fang Cheng’s eyes lit up, seemingly realizing something.

Cheng Jiashu gazed at the dark well opening, his tone contained barely suppressed excitement, and continued:

"If my guess is correct, it’s not just a simple treasure vault but is likely the entrance to a legendary relic. To verify, we’ll need to go inside."

Fang Cheng instantly recalled some information Cheng Jiashu had revealed to him before they came to Ancient Locust Village.

He no longer hesitated, turned to Xu Hao, and solemnly instructed:

"Haozi, you stay above and keep an eye on this Qian fellow. If anyone approaches, alert immediately."

"Got it! Boss, rest assured, not even a fly will get past!"

Xu Hao pounded his chest, loudly answering, and casually picked up a piece of half a palm-sized broken brick, standing fiercely beside Qian Dongming.

As for Qian Dongming, he was already terrified to the point his limbs were weak, unable to muster the strength to escape.
