The power of heaven and earth is boundless; it all depends on whether one can control it.
Internal energy circulated continuously in Yang Cheng's meridians and dantian. Even with Yang Cheng's physical strength, he felt waves of throbbing pain from the surging power.
Niu Yue's punch landed on the vortex of spiritual energy, and the immense force propelled Yang Cheng backward several steps.
But then Niu Yue felt that he was being drawn into the vortex of spiritual energy, and he couldn’t even pull himself out of it no matter how hard he tried.
Moreover, he was horrified to discover that his internal energy was also being absorbed by this vortex of spiritual energy, and within a few breaths, all the true energy in his body was sucked away!
The next moment, Yang Cheng suddenly poured this enormous amount of true energy into Niu Yue's body in one go!
Bang!
A loud explosion was heard.
Blood and flesh, mixed with fragments of armor, were scattered everywhere, and the blood mist blended into the torrential rain, as if a blood rain had been set off.
Han Jin watched all of this with shock and horror.
He was not a martial artist, so he did not know how great the gap was between martial artists.
Han Jin only knew that Fang Hanyu and Niu Yue were very strong, so strong that even if the two of them joined forces, they could easily kill a Grandmaster.
But these two men died so easily when facing Yang Cheng.
"Don't kill me! You can have everything we own!"
Han Jin retreated in terror, looking both frantic and pitiful.
Yang Cheng shook his head and said, "Eunuch Han, you can rest assured and continue your journey."
"For a eunuch like you to have reached this point, enjoying decades of glory, you've certainly earned your dues."
Han Gonggong wanted to say that he hadn't gotten his money's worth yet, but Yang Cheng's blade flashed, and the next moment Han Jin's head was already in Yang Cheng's hand!
Yang Cheng casually tossed his head to one of his men to hold, and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, leave no one alive!"
"Collect everything Han Jin left behind—gold, silver, and treasures. Half will be confiscated, and the other half will be divided among everyone."
Upon hearing Yang Cheng's words, everyone cheered, their eyes turning red.
I don't know if he became famous through killing or because he was motivated by money.
Han Jin's subordinates had completely collapsed after Fang Hanyu and Niu Yue died.
In less than fifteen minutes, everyone had been killed.
Yin Wuxie walked over and said, "My lord, Han Jin's things have all been taken care of. There are some documents on important figures in the court that the Imperial Guard has collected over the years."
How will everyone divide these gold, silver, and jewelry items?
Yang Cheng casually waved his hand and said, "Just assign them according to their positions and abilities. Leave it to Meiniang; she's meticulous and good at these things."
The people from the surrounding Guardian Bureau looked excited.
Especially Zhang Meng and his men.
The salary of the Imperial Guardian is neither a lot nor a little.
They were no match for the Imperial Guards and the palace guards; they could only earn extra money by doing ordinary tasks.
Moreover, because Han Jin was too greedy, even these small profits had to be skimmed off.
When Yang Cheng announced in front of everyone that all the gold and silver treasures would be divided equally, how could they not be excited?
Zhang Meng even took the initiative to say to Yang Cheng, "Lord Yang, how about we take less of these things?"
"What if His Majesty finds out? Won't you be in a difficult position to explain yourself?"
Yang Cheng casually waved his hand and said, "Even Han Jin himself doesn't know how much he has embezzled over the years, so how could His Majesty possibly know?"
Who among us would tell anyone? Would you? Would anyone else?
So don't worry, just take whatever you're entitled to.
As the saying goes, a scholar will die for one who understands him.
Having witnessed Yang Cheng's magnanimity and now his trust in them, the soldiers of the Imperial Guard shouted, "Thank you for your trust, sir!"
Encouraged by the generous reward, everyone worked even harder, quickly cleaning up the scene and returning to the capital immediately.
However, Yang Cheng did not report back to the emperor immediately, but went to the empress dowager instead.
After he left last time, the Empress Dowager gave Yang Cheng a waist token, which allowed him to go directly to the Empress Dowager's palace without having to go through layers of reporting.
"Your Majesty, I have successfully completed my mission and brought back Han Jin's head."
There are also some other pieces of information that I believe Your Majesty will find interesting.
Yang Cheng handed a palace maid a booklet to present to the Empress Dowager. Inside were records made by Han Jin of the various taboo acts committed by the Eighth Prince over the years.
Zhou Heng was unaware of these matters because Han Jin had kept them from him.
Everyone in the Great Zhou Dynasty knew that as long as the Empress Dowager was alive, no one could touch the Eighth Prince.
Therefore, handing this over would not only offend the Eighth Prince, but also the Empress Dowager.
Han Jin saw it very clearly, so he only collected these things; no one had ever seen them before.
Empress Dowager Wan Chun flipped through the pages one by one, her delicate body trembling with anger. Finally, she slammed the book to the ground.
Damn it!
