"I've sent the other six treasures to Peach Blossom Island as a gift to my master, Medicine Master Huang.”
The moment these words left his mouth, the expressions of Lian Xing and Zhang Han, who were beside Ye QingChen, changed drastically.
Medicine Master Huang of the Eastern Evil was one of the Five Unique in the Central Plains!
Eastern Evil, Western Poison, South Deity, Northern Beggar, and Zhong Shentong, the five peerless experts, fought at the peak of Mount Hua and suppressed all the heroes in the world. No one dared to disobey!
Although not everyone was interested in such a martial arts tournament, many martial arts powerhouses were either reclusive, or did not seek fame, or held their own identities, or hid in the world and never participated in various public competitions.
However, the title of 'Five Uniques of the Central Plains' was still very valuable. It represented the peak level of martial arts experts who walked the world in the present age!
Even with the ferocious reputation of the Flower Changing Palace in Jianghu, it was still inferior to the Five Uniques of the Central Plains.
They had never expected that the crippled Master of the Lu Family was actually the disciple of Master Huang from the East.
However, Ye QingChen was not surprised at all. He knew very well that Lu Chengfeng had stolen the royal treasures to please Medicine Master Huang.
Swoosh!
Ye QingChen removed the illusion and Lu Chengfeng finally woke up.
Recalling what he had just said, Lu Chengfeng's face turned ashen.
Ye QingChen ignored him and walked straight into the hall.
The rest of the matter was left to the other members of the Secret Service.
Two hours later.
All the Lu family's wealth had been counted. More than a hundred people in the manor were gathered and knelt in the hall.
"Your Highness, this Lu Family has set up a dungeon and imprisoned many black-hearted businessmen. There was also a youth who claimed to be the son of the sixth prince of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Hong Lie, Wanyan Kang. He was captured here a month ago.”
Qi Jiguang respectfully reported to Ye QingChen before retreating to the side.
"Lord, I know my sins are grave and am willing to bear all the blame. I only hope that you can let my son and the women of the Lu family off. They are innocent.”
Lu Chengfeng kneeled in front of them and begged. Since things had come to this, he only wanted to protect his family.
"Innocent? Your son gathered pirates from various villages to stir up trouble on Taihu Lake. How many caravans have they destroyed? Your family's wealth is built on this, how can you talk about innocence?”
Ye QingChen said coldly.
Wang Yuyan poured Ye QingChen a cup of tea and couldn't help but say,"Your Highness, the bandits have been rampant for a long time. It's already not bad for the Lu family to take the initiative to restrain the pirates. The people they rob are mostly black-hearted merchants.”
"A country cannot exist without faith. Great Yan revised the remaining 37,000 laws so that there would be laws to abide by. As a law enforcer, I must abide by the laws, enforce them strictly, and punish those who violate the law. How can I forgive them for personal reasons? As for what you said, this king will also report it truthfully. How much can be offset will be determined by the law!”
Ye QingChen said righteously.
Lu Guanying and the others turned ashen. They were both afraid and respectful. They finally understood the power of the imperial court's laws!
The trial soon ended.
Lu Chengfeng, as a criminal of the imperial court, would be escorted back to the capital along with the royal treasures.
As for Lu Guanying, Mei Chaofeng, and the pirates of Taihu Lake, they were all local criminals and could be handed over to the Jiangnan government.
The last batch of people to be sent away were the merchants who had been privately imprisoned by the pirates of Taihu Lake.
As the prince of Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Kang was specially taken care of. He was allowed to bathe and change his clothes.
After escaping, Wanyan Kang felt as if he had been separated from this world. He was very grateful to Ye QingChen. He specially went to pay his respects."Jin Kingdom prince Wanyan Kang greets sword king highness. Today, this little king was able to escape because of sword king's help. When I return to my father, I will definitely report this matter to him and make him reconcile with Great Yan.”
Yao Yue stood behind Ye QingChen. Looking at Wanyan Kang's crafty expression, she couldn't help but sneer.
With her scheming, she could see at a glance that Wanyan Kang was a hypocrite who didn't mean what he said. She couldn't even believe half a sentence.
Ye QingChen smiled slightly. He took out a top grade Emperor's heart pill and handed it to Wanyan Kang. He said,"I ate it."
Wanyan Kang revealed a hesitant look.
In the next moment, he felt a terrifying aura emanating from Yao Yue.
That almost tangible killing intent pressed down on him unscrupulously.
He had no doubt that Yao Yue would kill him.
"Yes."
Wanyan Kang didn't dare to hesitate anymore. He braced himself and took the top grade Emperor's Heart pill and swallowed it. Suddenly, his expression changed.
"After you return to the Jin Kingdom, participate in the state affairs. I will send someone to contact you.”Ye QingChen ordered.
"This subordinate will obey." Wanyan Kang humbly knelt on the ground and said respectfully.
Ye QingChen nodded his head in satisfaction.
Now, the Jin Kingdom emperor didn't have much time left. Among the princes, the sixth prince Wanyan Honglie had the most chance to ascend the throne.
And Wanyan Kang, as Wanyan Honglie's only son (adopted son), was also scheming. He would definitely be entrusted with a heavy responsibility.
At that time, Wanyan Kang would become Ye QingChen's supreme weapon to destroy the Jin Kingdom!
…
Watching Wanyan Kang leave, Lian Xing said softly,"Your Highness, what should we do next?”
"The Great Robbery Case of the Imperial Palace is not over yet. Naturally, we have to go to Peach Blossom Island to recover the remaining royal treasures.”Ye QingChen casually replied.
Yao Yue's expression changed slightly and she said coldly,""Your Highness, are you sure you want to go to Peach Blossom Island? Although I did not participate in the Huashan Martial Arts Contest back then, according to the rumors in Jianghu, Wang Chongyang, the leader of the Five Uniques, had the cultivation of the seventh level of the Celestial Realm, and he suppressed all the heroes. Since Eastern Heretic and the others were able to stand side by side with him, there must be something extraordinary about them. Your Highness must not be careless.”
Lian Xing also nodded slightly. Warriors above the Seventh Heaven of the Heaven Tier all possessed the power of a domain. Within the range of their divine sense, they could move mountains and fill the sea. They were omnipotent.
Even if it was a martial artist at the sixth level of the Heaven Tier, if he didn't have a particularly powerful martial technique or a unique trump card, he absolutely wouldn't be able to contend against it.
Ye QingChen smiled calmly, not minding it at all.
Perhaps he would have some misgivings before consuming the supreme-grade Dragon Essence Pill.
However, he now possessed the True Dragon Strength. With just his physical strength, he could blast open an ordinary Domain with a single punch.
The combination of external and internal techniques was almost comparable to Gu Santong at his peak.
One had to know that the Gu Santong at his peak possessed the terrifying cultivation of the eighth level of the Heaven Tier!
What was there to fear when dealing with a mere Eastern Evil Yellow Pharmacist?
