Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world.

Chapter 534 Maha Gārī
Upon hearing this, Liang Jin shrugged.
He couldn't figure out whether Wang Huaishuang truly didn't care about Zhen Lei's life or death, or whether she was certain he would kill Zhen Lei to silence him, which was why she was so calm.
"Farewell!"
After saying that, Wang Huaishuang turned and left.
Liang Jin suddenly said:
"Wait a moment."
As he spoke, he tossed something that suddenly appeared in his hand to Wang Huaishuang.
Wang Huaishuang took it and saw that it was actually a set of women's clothing.
This is exactly what Wang Huaishuang needs now that she has nothing left.
She looked at Liang Jin:
"How much silver?"
Liang Jin smiled and said:
"I'm not a greedy person, why would I charge you for a set of clothes?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Huaishuang's lips curled into a cold smile.
She naturally found Liang Jin's words laughable.
However, she still said:
"I wouldn't dare take anything from Master Meng for nothing."
"I can help you suppress the matter of killing Howe for the time being. As long as the Demon Slayer King is dead, everything will be fine."
"If the mission fails, then Master Meng should prepare to face the wrath of the Great Qian Dynasty."
After saying that, Wang Huaishuang dressed and left in a hurry.
Liang Jin watched Wang Huaishuang's departing figure, his eyes thoughtful.
This woman speaks with great arrogance, and it's clear that the power behind her is not simple.
At this point, only Liang Jin and Zhen Lei remained at the scene.
Zhen Lei was decisive and spoke directly:
"Five million taels of silver, can you exchange it for my life?"
Liang Jin simply gripped his spear tighter and shook his head slightly.
He's already killed Howe, so he might as well go all the way and kill Zhen Lei to put an end to it all.
Zhen Lei seemed to realize that he was unlikely to survive, and he laughed:
Do you know who Wang Huaishuang is?
"She is the adopted daughter of Wang Jin, the Ninth Prince of the Great Qian Dynasty, and the Chief Executioner of the Criminal Investigation Bureau."
"Master Meng, cooperating with such a person is tantamount to seeking help from a tiger."
"You'll regret this someday!"
Upon hearing this, Liang Jin recalled some rumors he had heard about Wang Jin, the eunuch.
In the imperial palace, many powerful eunuchs would adopt sons and daughters, which was also a way to develop their influence.
The most famous one was Zhao Bao's godfather, Li Dafu, who at his peak had 180 godsons.
Even Wang Jin, the eunuch, was not immune to this practice; he also had some adopted sons and daughters under his command, though the exact number is unknown, but it certainly wasn't many.
It is said that being Wang Jin's adopted son or daughter was a dangerous job, as the chances of his adopted son or daughter dying were very high.
That is why, despite being second only to the emperor, Wang Jin did not find anyone vying to become his godfather.
Liang Jin hadn't expected that the people on the Eunuch's side would also want to kill the Evil King.
He looked at Zhen Lei and asked:
"Whose are you?"
Zhen Lei replied:
"I have more than one person behind me."
“The eunuch faction controls the government, and we are here to eliminate them for the sake of the country and its people.”
"Wang Huaishuang's demand that you kill Tu Xiewang is nothing more than a desperate act. He wants to provoke a war between the Daqian Dynasty and the Black Dragon Dynasty in order to eliminate his enemies and consolidate his power."
"But this move will undoubtedly harm the interests of our Great Qian."
"If you are a person of discernment, you should know which side you should stand on."
Upon hearing this, Liang Jin remained calm.
The words spoken by Zhen Lei were as grand and dignified as ever.
Eliminate the eunuch faction for the sake of the country and its people?
In the end, it will probably all be for their own benefit.
Otherwise, people like Li Wei wouldn't have made such a mess of Ningzhou.
Liang Jin replied:
"I will always stand on my own side."
After saying that, Liang Jin thrust his spear towards Zhen Lei.
Zhen Lei had already closed his eyes, ready to face his death.
next second.
The beast-patterned mask on Zhen Lei's face was knocked off by the spear tip, and Liang Jin also wanted to see Zhen Lei's true face.
But as Zhen Lei's mask was knocked off, Liang Jin's spear suddenly stopped.
A look of astonishment appeared on Liang Jin's face:
"The Youhuan Clan?!"
Beneath the mask, Zhen Lei's face was covered with large areas of hardened keratin, resembling scales.
These scales are a characteristic of the Youhuan Clan!
Anyone who has fused with the so-called divine blood of the Youhuan Clan will have such scales on their body.
After Liang Jin fused with the black blood, his understanding of these scales became even clearer.
It is indeed a type of scale, but a low-grade one.
Only by fusing true essence and blood, like Liang Jin, can one produce high-grade scales and Kui arms.
Zhen Lei opened his eyes and looked at Liang Jin with some surprise:
"Lord Meng is quite knowledgeable, he even knows about my Youhuan Clan."
"It's a pity that after I die, my Youhuan clan will be completely wiped out."
In the end, Zhen Lei's voice was inevitably filled with boundless sorrow.
When the Youhuan tribe was wiped out by the imperial army, its people had various choices.
Most people chose to perish together with the enemy.
However, there were also people like Shen Cangming who chose to run away.
There are also people like Zhen Lei who chose to submit.
On the night his clan was exterminated fifty years ago, he was just a seven-year-old child. His excessive fear of death made him kneel and prostrate at the feet of the founding emperor, trembling and begging only to survive.
Emperor Taizu stepped on his head and agreed to take him as a dog.
Emperor Taizu originally intended to castrate him and keep him by his side as a eunuch, like a trophy to show off his victory in the war against the Youhuan tribe. However, after Emperor Taizu obtained the "Yin Fu Long Tui Jing" (Scripture of the Dragon's Metamorphosis of the Yin Talisman), he changed his mind.
Afterwards, the founding emperor entrusted him to the Six Doors for training, waiting for him to improve his martial arts skills before using him for other purposes.
At the same time, a mask was welded onto his head, and he was never allowed to take it off. That is why Zhen Lei always wore a mask when he appeared in public.
Fortunately, Emperor Taizu died young, and whatever his intentions were, he ultimately did not have time to carry them out.
He was finally able to survive and live to this day.
Liang Jin said:
"Where does the claim of extinction come from?"
"At least two Youhuan people have been encountered within the territory of Daqian."
"One is the swordsman Shen Cangming, known as the 'Cangming Sword,' and the other is the Great Teacher of the Way of Peace."
Zhen Lei was greatly surprised upon hearing this.
A variety of complex expressions flashed across his face, including surprise, fear, longing, and trepidation.
But in the end, all those expressions turned into helplessness and bitterness.
He knew he was going to die, and even if he knew his clansmen were still alive, he probably would never see them again.
He only regretted that he learned the news too late.
Otherwise, he would naturally have heard of Shen Cangming and the Great Sage Teacher.
If he had known this earlier, he would have gone through countless difficulties to find them.
Unfortunately, he will never have that chance...
really.
Liang Jin had already raised his spear and thrust it down fiercely.
The fierce gunfire could tear everything apart.
"boom!!!"
The excessive gunfire even produced a loud explosion, the bang carrying far into the distance.
After the explosion, Zhen Lei looked at Liang Jin in surprise.
Liang Jin's shot didn't kill him; it only pierced the ground beside him.
"You won't kill me?"
Zhen Lei asked, puzzled. Liang Jin, of course, couldn't possibly miss or stumble.
In particular, if he wanted to kill someone, why would he need to waste so much effort?
Liang Jin then sheathed his spear and spoke:
“I was once diagnosed with a terminal illness, but I was fortunate enough to be cured by the Great Master Fu Shui. He saved my life.”
“I promised him that I would do my best to help him if we encountered any members of the Youhuan clan.”
"It was just a favor I was asked to do, and I was simply fulfilling that request."
"You don't need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, go and thank that great and wise teacher."
After saying that, Liang Jin shouldered his spear and turned to leave.
He originally intended to kill Zhen Lei to silence him.
But now that we've discovered Zhen Lei still has some use, we'll put it aside for now; whether or not to silence him is no longer so important.
Now that he has sided with Wang Huaishuang, she will naturally take care of any problems he may have before he kills Tu Xie Wang.
Zhen Lei is a third-rank expert with martial intent. If his special identity as a member of the Youhuan Clan can be used by his clone, it would undoubtedly be more beneficial than harmful.
At this time.
Zhen Lei suddenly spoke:
"Master Meng, I have another request!"
Liang Jin stopped and listened to Zhen Lei's words.
……
distance.
On the mountainside.
A group of people were in a dense forest, looking at the smoke and dust that blotted out the sky from the distant battlefield.
These people were actually agents of the Criminal Investigation Bureau.
The leader was none other than Wang Huaishuang.
At this moment, Wang Huaishuang had already changed into her official robes, and the clothes that Liang Jin had given her were now under her feet.
Her eyes were cold and fierce, making the guards around her afraid to even breathe.
Everyone knows that Wang Huaishuang is ruthless and merciless, killing without blinking an eye.
She was cruel to outsiders, cruel to herself, and equally cruel to her subordinates.
Even the police station, which is never short of ruthless and cruel people, couldn't help but fear Wang Huaishuang like the plague.
"boom!!!"
Suddenly, an explosion was heard from within the smoke and dust, startling a flock of birds into flight.
Finally, a look of satisfaction appeared on Wang Huaishuang's face:
"It seems that Zhen Lei has been silenced by Meng Xinghun."
"The power of this shot is enough to blast Zhen Lei into countless fragments, leaving no trace of his body."
A smile appeared on her lips, clearly indicating that everything was under her control.
Zhen Lei and Huo Wei were both killed by Meng Xinghun, which means that the godfather's enemies have lost two more capable henchmen.
A foreman approached and bowed, saying:
"Lord Commander, do we really intend to rely on Meng Xinghun to assassinate the Demon King?"
This guard's martial arts skill level is similar to Wang Huaishuang's.
However, Wang Huaishuang's official position was much higher than his.
The head of the gang wouldn't hold a grudge because of this, after all, Wang Huaishuang was the adopted daughter of the eunuch and his confidante, a fact that no one else could match.
Moreover, Wang Huaishuang has accomplished many difficult tasks, and her abilities are beyond doubt.
Wang Huaishuang sneered:
"Meng Xinghun is, after all, a person from the Western Desert, with a mysterious background. It is still unknown whether he can be controlled."
“If we could control him, he could do a lot of shady things for us.”
"If we can't control him... then let him die with the Demon Slayer King."
After Wang Huaishuang finished speaking, she looked at the shopkeeper beside her:
"Alright, we should put Meng Xinghun's mind at ease now."
"Go to the money exchange in Yongzhou City immediately and prepare enough cash."
"No one in the world would remain unmoved by so much silver."
Upon hearing this, the foreman looked troubled.
He hesitated for a long time, then whispered:
"Lord Commander, that's twenty million taels of silver, and you just gave it to Meng Xinghun like that?"
"If something happens to this silver before he completes his mission, I'm afraid..."
Twenty million taels of silver is of great importance.
For the powerful and wealthy, this sum of money might not be much.
It is said that the eunuch lived a life of extravagance, with his personal expenses reaching as high as 30,000 taels of silver per day!
Even the cabbages that the eunuchs ate had to be specially transported from the south to the capital by fast horses. A plate of stir-fried cabbage hearts could easily cost over a thousand taels of silver.
However, this sum of money was extremely important to the entire Daqian Dynasty.
Twenty million taels of silver is enough to support the Great Qian Dynasty in launching a war.
The money for this mission could not possibly come from the eunuch's own pocket; it was paid for by the imperial court.
Now the imperial treasury is empty, and every penny must be carefully calculated.
If something goes wrong with these 20 million taels of silver, then everyone who carried out this mission will inevitably have to bear serious consequences.
Upon hearing this, Wang Huaishuang's cold eyes swept over the guard:
"You are questioning my decision?"
The foreman was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground, repeatedly saying that he dared not.
Wang Huaishuang said coldly:
"That's twenty million taels of silver. Do you know how many carriages it would take to move that?"
"This is the Great Qian Dynasty, not Meng Xinghun's Western Desert. Is it possible for him to travel around with so much silver?"
Even if he exchanges the banknotes for cash, the cash can still only be deposited in the money shop.
"Without our police station's permission, he won't be able to move this silver out of Daqian, let alone out of Yongzhou City."
After hearing this, the foreman stopped questioning it.
After all, as Wang Huaishuang said, no one in the world can carry so much silver around.
Even if Meng Xinghun had hundreds of people with him, it would be impossible for him to move so much silver out of Daqian without anyone noticing.
Immediately, the group, led by Wang Huaishuang, turned and left.
……
the other side.
Near the battlefield.
The members of Qingyi Tower had gathered together and collected the horses and supplies that had been blown away by the aftershocks of the battle.
Their gazes couldn't help but drift towards the cloud of smoke and dust.
As the strong winds continued to blow, the dust finally began to dissipate.
After a while.
A figure carrying a long spear slowly emerged from the smoke and dust.
It was Liang Jin.
"Owner!"
The crowd was overjoyed at the sight and rushed over.
Liang Jin slowly scanned the crowd and asked:
"Is everything packed?"
Mujah immediately replied:
"Reporting to the host, although there were some losses, they were not significant."
"We are ready to continue and can keep going at any time."
Liang Jin nodded and gave the order:
"Then let's set off for Yongzhou City."
Then he got into the carriage.
The procession from Qingyi Tower resumed its march.
Soon, Liu Yuan slipped into Liang Jin's carriage.
The carriage was as large as a room, dimly lit, and the thick blankets on the seats were exceptionally soft.
Liang Jin looked at Liu Yuan. This woman rarely took the initiative to come to him for no reason.
"Has there been a result in deciphering the Dragon Armor Divine Book?"
Liang Jin asked.
Liu Yuan shook her head, indicating that this was not what she wanted to talk about.
Then, as if making up her mind, she spoke:
“Meng Xinghun, I want to tell you about the Mahakala Dharma Protector’s Kung Fu.”
