Outside the Xu Manor.
Seeing that Ling Chen and the others were all focused on the ten or so carriages that they had stolen from Xu Xianchun's house, Supervisor Zheng and the others silently retreated, about to hide in the darkness.
At this moment, Pei Lun seemed to think of something and suddenly looked at Ling Chen, asking,
"Your Excellency, we are already at loggerheads with the East Chamber. In my opinion, we shouldn't let these old dogs of the East Chamber off, right?”
Hearing this, everyone from the East Chamber shivered.
The veins on Supervisor Zheng's pale face throbbed violently, and his eyes instantly turned red. He stared at Pei Lun and wanted to curse,"Pei Lun kid, I'll f * ck your grandpa!!”
However, before he could curse, Ba Dao, Qing Long, Tian Boguang, Shen Lian, Lu Jianxing, Jin Yichuan and the rest had locked their eyes on him.
In an instant, Zhangban Zheng felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and his entire body felt cold.
He could feel the unconcealed killing intent in these people's eyes!
These people had just become a Thousand Households of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, and their futures, wealth, and lives were all dependent on Ling Chen. After witnessing tonight's events, they all clearly understood that with Lord Ling's ambition and methods, he would sooner or later raise his blade at the East Hall!
As Pei Lun had said, the Brocade Guard had completely fallen out with the East Hall after this incident. Killing one more servant of the East Hall would weaken their strength!
Not only them, but all the Embroidered Uniform Guards present understood this principle.
"Under Xiu Chun's blade, leave no survivors!"
"Kill!"
As such, Ling Chen did not even need to order them to do so, and the cold light from the swords cut through the night sky, causing blood to flow out and dyeing the moon even more red.
When Ling Chen heard the stubborn resistance and struggles of the others, he did not feel anything.
He didn't even look at the battlefield.
He slowly walked to a carriage and casually opened a few large boxes on the carriage. Suddenly, the dreary night sky was dyed with a golden and silver light.
What appeared in his line of sight was a dense pile of gold, silver, and jewelry!
Ling Chen walked step by step, opening one box after another. Boxes of gold ingots, boxes of official silver, and boxes of jewelry came into view, giving off an indescribable visual impact.
"My lord…"
Jiang Yuyan, who was following closely behind him, was stunned. She covered her cherry lips and said in disbelief,"Xu Xianchun is the Imperial Guard's Northern Town Governor. This is only a fifth rank official position, but he actually has so much property? No wonder Wei Zhongxian sent his personal guards to raid his house!!”
" How much money is this!?"
After exclaiming, Jiang Yuyan looked at Ling Chen and couldn't help but take a deep breath,"No wonder Milord once said that the Imperial Court is the largest sect in the world. Just this amount of gold and silver is enough to establish a sect, right?!”
"This is the power of authority."
Ling Chen's expression did not change. Seeing Jiang Yuyan's cute expression, he could not help but reach out his right hand and gently pinch her cheek,"There are three things in this world that can connect to the gods. Martial arts can connect to the gods, wealth can connect to the gods, and power can connect to the gods!”
"Powerful martial arts can rely on their fists to achieve everything they want. With his immense wealth, he could buy countless lives to work for him and achieve things that seemed impossible. The supreme power could decide the life and death of countless people with a single word.”
"If one of the three is obtained, one will be a formidable hero who can stir up the wind and shake the world!”
" In Jianghu, many people pursue martial arts, but there are more people in the world who pursue wealth and power. Therefore, they join the imperial court and gamble their lives. They struggle in the whirlpool of power in order to obtain more wealth and higher power…"
"Xu Xianchun is such a person."
Feeling the softness of her fingertips, Ling Chen fearlessly admired Jiang Yuyan's shyness. Looking at her flushed face, Ling Chen faintly smiled,"However, it is clear that he has neglected one thing.”
"What is it?"
Jiang Yuyan's heart was beating fast, and she wanted to take a step back. However, she couldn't bear to let go of the warmth from Ling Chen's fingertips, so she could only suppress her shyness and ask.
"All wealth and power must be matched with powerful martial strength. Otherwise, it will be a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water!”
As he said this, Ling Chen's eyes flashed with a light that seemed to be able to burn the air,"Wei Zhongxian, Cao Zhengchun, Zhu Budian, and the others know this very well!”
"Therefore, they never neglect the improvement of their own strength. Each of them is either one of the few experts in the world or has countless trump cards under them!”
"Because they know that only by combining martial arts, wealth, and power can they truly stand at the peak of this world!”
At this moment, Jiang Yuyan looked at Ling Chen, who was so close to her, and could clearly feel his unconcealed ambition.
It was not for power, wealth, or martial arts.
Instead-
He wanted to reach the top of the world!
He wanted to look down on the world!
He wanted to cut through the ages!
"My lord…"
Jiang Yuyan's breathing unconsciously quickened as she looked at Ling Chen in a daze. She didn't even notice that Ling Chen's hand had already moved away from her face, and she silently made up her mind: "Yuyan will definitely work a thousand times, ten thousand times harder. Even if she has to give it her all, she will definitely follow by Milord's side!”
As she thought about this, her eyes suddenly regained clarity, and she watched as Ling Chen's Embroidered Spring Blade flashed, opening the last box.
What was inside the chest was not gold, silver, or jewelry, but many bottles and jars.
In addition, there were more than ten books at the bottom of the room. They seemed to be martial arts manuals.
"Daren's words are truly enlightening!”
Ba Dao suddenly appeared behind the two of them. He glanced at the items in the box and said,"The imperial court is indeed the largest sect in the world. As one of the Five Tigers under Wei Zhongxian, Xu Xianchun has power, influence, and money. His family's foundation is actually deeper than many martial arts sects!”
" It's a pity that he was obsessed with the illusion of power. He plundered so many good things, but they were all hidden in the mansion instead of being used to improve his own strength. What a waste!”
Following his voice, Pei Lun, Tian Boguang, Qing Long, Shen Lian and the rest walked over…The hundred odd foreign laborers of the East Hall had been killed!
Everyone's eyes fell on the box, and their eyes trembled.
He saw that there were notes on the bottles and jars, indicating the contents of the bottles.
" Corpse Dissolving Powder,"" Golden Silkworm Poison,"" Ten Fragrance Tendon Softening Powder,"" Shaolin Small Rejuvenation Pill,"" Nine Flower Jade Dew Pill…" One by one, the names came into view.
Other than these, there was also a black box with the words "rhinoceros earth dragon pill" pasted on it.
At the same time, there were more than a dozen martial arts manuals at the bottom of the box. Most of them were the signature martial arts of the big sects in the martial arts world. Although they were valuable, they were not very big. There were still a few that were shocking.
Verdure Glider!
Eagle Claw Technique!
Phantom Yin Finger!
Great Strength Vajra Finger!
At this moment, everyone was shocked, especially Pei Lun and the others. They finally understood the phrase " the imperial court is the biggest sect in the world ". The dog that Wei Zhongxian used to control the Brocade Guard actually had such wealth!
The imperial court's foundation was truly terrifying!
