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

Chapter 538 The filthy woman harbors ulterior motives
The money exchange manager stood there dumbfounded, unable to recover for a long time.

This treasury was built with his painstaking efforts over three years. The three-zhang-thick bluestone walls were inlaid with fine steel mesh, and apart from the main gate with a mechanical lock, not even a mouse hole was left.

Especially since everyone was personally guarding outside at the time.

Moreover, with so much silver, it would take a day or two to move it.

How could it be gone in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn?
Just as the money shop manager was stunned for an unknown amount of time, a series of footsteps sounded.

A beautiful woman with scars on her face walked in with a group of barbarians.

"Shopkeeper, I heard that Meng Xinghun has already come?"

"So, did he give up after that?"

The newcomer was Wang Huaishuang, who strode over and asked as she approached.

The money exchange manager suddenly woke up.

His knee slammed heavily onto the blue brick, making a dull thud.

Tears streamed down his face as he slammed his forehead against the ground with a thud.

"I am incompetent! I deserve to die!"

"That silver has already... has already been cashed in by Meng Xinghun!"

After finishing his sentence, the shopkeeper collapsed to the ground, like a dog whose bones had been removed.

Wang Huaishuang was taken aback at first, then her almond-shaped eyes widened:

"what?!"

She rushed into the treasury, her brocade boots crunching over the scattered silver dust.

Looking at the empty storeroom, her face was even more somber than the mold on the walls. Suddenly, she whirled around, her skirt kicking up a gust of foul wind:
"How many men and how many carriages did he bring?"

The money exchange manager tearfully recounted:
"Although Meng Xinghun brought a few people with him, he was the only one who transported the silver away."

As he spoke, the money shop manager immediately told Wang Huaishuang everything that had just happened.

Upon hearing this, Wang Huaishuang was both shocked and furious.

She couldn't understand how Liang Jin had managed to do it.

Although Wang Huaishuang had some knowledge of martial arts tricks, illusions, and so on, it would take a long time to prepare and arrange for her to perform those tricks and tricks to make heavy objects disappear.

Liang Jin's methods were clearly beyond her comprehension.

But that doesn't matter.

The important thing is that Liang Jin did indeed take the silver.

The initiative is now in Liang Jin's hands. If Liang Jin goes back on his word and embezzles this huge sum of money, Wang Huaishuang will suffer severe punishment from her godfather this time.

At this thought, anger surged in Wang Huaishuang's eyes:

"waste!"

She suddenly raised her hand and slammed it hard on the head of the bank manager kneeling in front of her.

"Bang!!!"

With a muffled thud, the innkeeper's skull was dented and caved into by the blow.

In an instant, brain matter gushed from the innkeeper's nose and eyes, and he collapsed limply to the ground.

Dying from anger.

Those around who witnessed this scene fell silent in fear.

Everyone knows that Wang Huaishuang is ruthless and capricious; she is cruel to herself and even more cruel to others.

Wang Huaishuang took out an embroidered handkerchief, wiped her hands, and the scar between her eyebrows throbbed with anger as she said in a gloomy tone:

"Meng Xinghun, you do have some skill."

"But do you think you can take my money so easily!"

At this point, Wang Huaishuang turned around.

A foreman immediately ran to her side, awaiting her orders.

Wang Huaishuang abruptly flicked her sleeve and pointed towards the door:

"Spread the word that Meng Xinghun, the master of Qingyi Tower, has exchanged twenty million taels of silver."

"With so many martial artists in this city, they'll surely harass the Green Robe Tower day and night upon hearing this news. I want to see if the Green Robe Tower has three heads and six arms to solve so many problems! And if they have the guts to stand against the entire martial arts world!"

"They need to know that our police station's money isn't so easy to take!"

Wang Huaishuang's proud chest heaved violently with anger as she led her team out of the treasury.

She has always been the one who designs and makes others obediently follow her plans; no one has ever dared to so brazenly and openly disrupt her plans.

Liang Jin's actions today are undoubtedly a slap in the face to her.

She was determined to make Liang Jin realize that ruining her plans would be a huge loss!

After hearing this, the leader immediately set about taking action.

But at this moment, everyone's expression suddenly changed.

A powerful aura instantly enveloped the entire area.

The aura was so strong that everyone felt their originally warm blood suddenly turn cold.

The hairs on the back of Wang Huaishuang's neck stood on end, and a pressure that seemed to come from the underworld made it almost impossible for her to breathe.

Accompanying this terrifying aura was a rough voice:

"The original poster was right, you bitch, you really did have ulterior motives!"

"I advise you to behave yourself and not try anything funny to trip up our Green Robe Pavilion!"

Everyone turned to look at the source of the aura, and saw a burly old man standing on the roof of the silver vault.

The old man was burly and wore a wolf-fur coat. He had thick hair and beard, with curly hair hanging down, and a jewel-encrusted ribbon tied around his forehead.

It looks like an old but still powerful lion.

It was Muzzarra.

Mu Zheluo looked down at Wang Huaishuang, his voice so loud it shook the rafters and dust fell.
"The original poster has given the order: if you, you wretched woman, dare to make any moves, you'll be sleeping with your head on but never waking up."

"I advise you to behave yourself. From today onwards, if our Qingyi Tower runs into any trouble, I'll come looking for you first!"

After saying that, Mu Zheluo suddenly raised his hand.

A palm strike carrying sand and gravel crashed down from above.

Before Wang Huaishuang could react, the internal force struck her official hat like a sharp arrow.

"Oh!"

In the next instant, Wang Huaishuang's official hat exploded into pieces, and her long black hair cascaded down like a waterfall.

This startled Wang Huaishuang, causing her to stagger back half a step, her fists clenched, her face contorted with rage.

"you!"

She could easily see that this was Mu Zheluo's way of putting her in a difficult position.

Wang Huaishuang glared angrily at Mu Zheluo on the roof, her teeth almost grinding to powder, the taste of blood spreading in her mouth.

Mu Zheluo simply stretched out his hand disdainfully, pointed at Wang Huaishuang, and sneered contemptuously:

"If you were in the desert, you would have died long ago!"

After saying that, Mu Zheluo turned and left, the shockwave he created even overturning half of a wall.

Wang Huaishuang and the other guards could only watch helplessly as Mu Zheluo disappeared. Only after the terrifying aura dissipated did they breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, Wang Huaishuang, who was the most skilled martial artist present, was only at the fourth rank, which was a whole major rank lower than Mu Zheluo, who was at the third rank.

"What a fine Qingyi Tower! What a fine Meng Xinghun!"

"How dare you threaten me!"

Wang Huaishuang gritted her teeth, her scarlet nails digging deeply into her palms.

Her once beautiful face was now distorted, and the scars on her face made her look even more terrifying.

She's always been the one threatening people; this is the first time anyone has ever threatened her like this.

At that moment, Wang Huaishuang harbored a deep resentment towards Liang Jin.

The foreman whispered:
"Sir, should we contact martial arts masters for assistance?"

In Yongzhou City today, although the Six Doors is an official force, it has always been at odds with the Criminal Investigation Bureau.

Although the Xuanyuan Sect was also a lackey of the imperial court, they were more closely associated with the Six Doors.

Although the Criminal Investigation Bureau was infamous in the martial arts world, it wasn't without people willing to help them.

Not long ago, a famous swordsman like Jiang Duanchao, the leader of the Ziyun Sword Sect, joined the Jishi Factory and went to the south with the Third Rank Chief to carry out a mission.

A fierce glint flashed in Wang Huaishuang's eyes, but she suppressed her anger and said in a deep voice:

"Focus on the overall situation and refrain from making any rash moves."

"We'll settle accounts with them slowly after we finish the task."

Wang Huaishuang knew very well that Liang Jin was a mad dog!
He dared to kill even border general Huo Wei and Zhen Lei, a famous constable of the Six Doors, so killing one more of himself wouldn't be a problem.

Moreover, now that Liang Jin has received the money, Wang Huaishuang has little leverage over him. A direct confrontation with Liang Jin at this point would be disastrous for Wang Huaishuang.

To successfully complete the mission, we need to think of ways to restrain Liang Jin.

"Unfortunately, my chief of the Criminal Investigation Division has not yet arrived, so there is no way to restrain him by force."

"It seems we have no choice but to think of another way."

Wang Huaishuang's eyes were filled with helplessness.

These are truly turbulent times; the four chief officers of the Criminal Investigation Bureau have never been busier than they are now.

Yan Zi'an, the fourth-ranked leader, went to Changzhou, and Gu Jinfu, the third-ranked leader, went to Qingzhou.

Jin Jinliang, the second-in-command, was severely injured by a mysterious master in the capital. Although he was lucky enough to survive, he was basically crippled.

As a result, even the chief of staff who had always been stationed in the capital had to be transferred to Yongzhou to carry out field missions.

The stall owner said worriedly:
"Now that Meng Xinghun has 20 million taels of silver in his hands, it won't be easy to get him to give it back."

The original plan of the Criminal Investigation Bureau was to divide the 20 million taels among its subordinates after completing the mission.

They never imagined that they would actually give the money to the Qingyi Tower in the end.

Wang Huaishuang, however, was not worried about this:

"When the police station handles matters, they only ever collect money; there's no reason for them to spend their own money."

"Twenty million taels is not a small amount, but there are people who can afford it."

"Whenever you're out of money, this is the person to turn to."

Upon hearing this, the stall leader understood what Wang Huaishuang meant.

There is now a God of Wealth in Yongzhou City.

That was Shen Wanshi, the richest man in the Great Qian Dynasty; he had plenty of money.

The shopkeeper immediately understood:

"I will immediately set up a pretext and send my men to give a hint."

"He wouldn't dare refuse an adult's request, even if he had ten lives."

Wang Huaishuang gave a cold laugh, then waved her hand and led her group of servants away immediately.

………………

the other side.

Inside the Qingyi Tower residence.

In the bedroom.

Liang Jin sat upright on the bed.

Xiao Wan curled up in the brocade quilt, her pale cheeks still bearing traces of wet tears, her slender fingers unconsciously gripping the corner of the quilt.

These past few days, Liang Jin has been busy practicing his martial arts, which has caused Xiao Wan to be constantly tormented. Now, she has fallen asleep from exhaustion after only practicing for a short while.

Liang Jin ran his fingertips across the dark circles under her eyes, his brows furrowing slightly as he shook his head in disappointment.
"Xiao Wan is still too fragile and can't withstand any hardship."

"It seems that if you only cultivate with one person, you can't keep up with the cultivation speed."

"No wonder the experts of the Boundless Bright King Sect have more than one concubine by their side."

Thinking of this, Liang Jin's face showed doubt again:
"I have now completed the third level of the Mahakala Dharma Protector Technique. According to Liu Yuan, I will not be able to continue cultivating the next level if I do not have the blood of the divine turtle."

"But why... can't I feel any obstruction?"

The Mahakala Dharma Protector Technique is very quick to cultivate when practiced in dual cultivation. Liang Jin completed the cultivation of all three levels in just a few days.

However, he felt that he could continue cultivating.

This situation clearly does not match Liu Yuan's description.

"How about we try continuing our cultivation?"

Liang Jin also felt a little hesitant.

This martial art seems extremely strange. If one were to practice it rashly without the blood of the divine turtle, who knows if it might cause problems?

But in the end, he decided to give it a try.

Liang Jin guessed that the divine tortoise in the ancient desert legends was probably the so-called mythical beast.

He himself had fused with the essence blood of the dragon on Dragon Transformation Island, and then fused with the drop of black blood in Dragon Burial Ridge, so he could also be considered to possess the blood of a divine beast.

The blood of the divine tortoise was able to help ancient Dharma Kings master the "Mahagala Protectorate Technique," and perhaps the blood of other divine beasts has the same effect.

But after Liang Jin glanced at the unconscious Xiao Wan, he decided to hold off for a while.

If we continue to torment Xiaowan, she might not be able to handle it.

"Let's deal with things here first."

So Liang Jin took out the [Si Mian] and put it on his face, activating his Fire Eye ability.

Under the power of his Fiery Eyes, all the buildings in Yongzhou City became transparent in Liang Jin's vision, and all the secrets were clearly presented before him.

After surveying the city of Yongzhou for a while, he was slightly puzzled:

"Why isn't there a single true master among them?"

There are many martial artists in Yongzhou City.

Among them were quite a few third-rank martial artists.

But nowadays, only second-rank martial artists are qualified to be regarded as experts by Liang Jin.

Second-rank martial artists are usually reclusive and rarely concern themselves with matters of the martial world, so it's normal that they are rarely seen on ordinary days.

But isn't this place where a martial arts conference is to be held to elect a martial arts leader?

Such a big event, why are all those experts unwilling to show their faces?

"Are those experts so arrogant that they only show themselves at the very last moment?"

"Or is it that they don't have high hopes for this martial arts tournament?"

Liang Jin was also puzzled by the reason, after all, he didn't know much about this so-called martial arts tournament.

Fortunately, the people at Qingyi Tower are already conducting an in-depth investigation, and we believe there will be results soon.

Liang Jin removed the [巳面] and began to continue studying the subsequent practice of the "Mahagala Protector Kung Fu".

Not for a while.

Footsteps could be heard outside the bedroom.

Liang Jin had already recognized that it was Mr. Ding who had arrived.

He immediately said:

"what's up?"

Mr. Ding answered from outside the door:
"Hey, someone's been visiting."

The Green Robe Tower's forces are formidable, and their appearance on the eve of the martial arts tournament in Yongzhou is bound to attract attention. It's no surprise that some people have come to visit them.

Liang Jin has already instructed Mr. Ding that he will not see any visitors from unrelated individuals, and Mr. Ding can handle the matter himself.

Now that Mr. Ding has come to report, it is clear that an important person has come to visit, so much so that he, the owner of the building, needs to meet him.

"who?"

Liang Jin asked.

Mr. Ding replied:
Two groups of people came to visit.

"The first group of people was Yu Zhuoqun, the Grand Elder of the Xuanyuan Sect. He brought with him two Xuanyuan Sect disciples we met in Ningzhou, Tang Qi and Lu Shaoze."

Tang Qi and Lu Shaoze?

Liang Jin had almost forgotten about these two insignificant people, but now he remembered them after Mr. Ding mentioned them.

Mr. Ding continued:
"The second group of people was Shen Wanshi, the richest merchant in the Great Qian Dynasty."

Liang Jin was surprised to hear this.

He had naturally heard of Shen Wanshi, the richest man in the Great Qian Dynasty.

To become the richest person, one must naturally have a strong background and extensive network of connections.

But being the richest person has always been a high-risk profession.

Throughout history, those who have become the world's most famous richest people have rarely met a good end.

Liang Jin did not know Shen Wanshi, nor did he know why Shen Wanshi had come to see him.

However, I've heard that Shen Wanshi enjoys making friends with people in the martial arts world. He's probably here in Yongzhou City to join in the martial arts tournament and make some more friends with experts.

He probably came to find me for roughly the same reason.

Mr. Ding continued:
"The third group of people was the sorrowful elder of Wanfo Temple."

"Elder Beiku explained his purpose, saying that he wanted to ask the Lord about the situation of the Boundless Bright King Sect."

"In particular, they specifically mentioned that they wanted to inquire about the Mahakala Dharma Protector Practice."
