I have an endless army of warriors, rampaging across the heavens.

Chapter 44 First Punch: A Squeeze! [3rd Update!]

Lei Yuanwen finally spoke: "How exactly did you get into the Blessed Land of Yellow Sands?"

Row.

I'm not afraid of you asking silly questions, I'm just afraid of you not asking at all.

Sakyo was making nonsense——

"My Ming Cult's Four Dharma Kings, Five Wanderers, Eight Heavenly Dragons, Thirty-Six Heavenly Spirits, Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends, and One Hundred and Eight Heroes are all outstanding masters."

"There are also the Five Elements Flags, who are well-trained, skilled in military strategy and formations, numerous in number, strictly disciplined, and highly trained. No martial arts sect or powerful family can stand against them."

"There are also four gates: Heaven, Earth, Wind, and Thunder, which gather disciples of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, as well as people from the Western Regions and other foreign lands."

“In addition to the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Great Yan, there are 365 branch altars, which are the same as the number of the heavens, and the army numbers eight million.”

"now."

"In accordance with the Sacred Flame Decree, all provinces and prefectures shall prioritize the competition for blessed lands."

"Among them, the Lei family's Huangsha Blessed Land is the one that the sect has explicitly ordered to be captured as soon as possible in Shangyang Prefecture!"

nonsense.

Nonsense.

Zuo Jing was simply taking advantage of Lei Yuanwen's lack of knowledge about "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber".

But Lei Yuanwen was genuinely taken aback.

But reason told him—

"impossible!"

How could such a large organization be hidden in the Great Yan without any clues?

This is one point of doubt.

Second.

"Your Ming Cult's Left Guardian of Light, Yang Xiao, knows nothing about precious meat, strange beasts, strange people, or even blessed lands."

"If your Ming Cult truly possesses such power, why is the Left Envoy so shallow?"

Lei Yuanwen is no fool!
Zuo Jing laughed loudly: "Who said he was the Left Envoy of Light? And who said he really didn't know?"

???

Lei Yuanwen was stunned.

What do you mean?
Isn't Yang Zuo Shi (Left Envoy) the Left Envoy?

A fake?
and.

He wasn't unaware; he was just pretending?
Lei Yuanwen felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He suddenly realized, "It was all a disguise! That Left Envoy Yang deliberately pretended that he and even the entire Ming Cult knew nothing about the Blessed Land. Only in this way would our Lei family feel at ease bringing Left Envoy Yang to the Blessed Land of Yellow Sands. But you had a secret method to track us down and seize the Blessed Land!"

pass!

Everything is working!

Lei Yuanwen collapsed, utterly devastated.

He was now certain—

Lei family!

Finished!

……

a long time.

Lei Yuanwen relented: "If you want me to surrender, I have two conditions."

Zuo Jing said, "Tell me about it."

Lei Yuanwen said, "First, I want to reunite with my wife and children. Second, I will not kill anyone."

You're pretending to be something you're not!
The Lei family committed countless evil deeds. They harmed countless miners in those mines alone, and dozens of exploration teams in the Yellow Sand Blessed Land were wiped out. These are just cold numbers now, but behind them are the real lives of thousands of slaves and the grief of thousands of families.

Lei Yuanwen, as the son of the Lei family patriarch, was heavily involved.

His hands were stained with innocent blood.

What's the point of talking about 'not killing' now?
ridiculous!

Zuo Jing replied, "My Ming Cult can agree to both of these conditions, but on the condition that you first show your sincerity."

Lei Yuanwen frowned: "What does it mean to be sincere?"

"It's easy."

Zuo Jing laughed: "For example, you could provide a list of all the top experts in your Lei family who are at least at the fourth stage, as well as the locations of their families."

……

The next day.

The third day of June.

Before news of the upheaval in Huangsha Paradise, two hundred miles away, could reach Shangyang City, Zuo Jing's revenge against the Lei family had already begun to unfold.

"Master, master, something terrible has happened!"

"There's a rumor circulating in the city that our Lei family has been robbed of 6.4 taels of gold and 41.6 taels of silver. They're saying that Hongxiang Money Exchange will soon be out of silver to exchange, and that two or three hundred people are already crowding around the two money exchanges, scrambling to exchange their money for cash!"

Lei Shijun was in his residence, reviewing intelligence reports from various parts of Shangyang Prefecture, filtering out any information about the so-called 'Ming Cult'.

At this time.

Suddenly someone came to report.

Lei Shijun frowned: "Someone is deliberately spreading rumors!"

Lei Shijun was shrewd and calculating. In fact, he had thought of this when the gold and silver in his mansion were stolen. He put himself in Lei's shoes and thought that if he were in Lei's shoes, he would definitely spread the news immediately, causing depositors to rush to his family's Hongxiang Money Exchange to withdraw their money.

But the group that stole the gold and silver were clearly not very bright; it took them a month or so to come up with this idea.

"Too late!"

Lei Shijun was prepared for any eventuality and remained calm at this time.

"Tell those depositors that it's all a rumor, the money shop has ample reserves and unlimited exchange."

"Tell the money exchange staff to slow down. They should accept all those who come to cash their money, but they should verify each one carefully. They should try to delay the process as much as possible and serve fewer depositors each day."

"Two days later."

"Then have Zhenbang lead a caravan from Leijiabao, pretending to transport silver but actually transporting stones to the money shop, and overturn two boxes of cash in front of everyone at the money shop entrance."

in this way.

The bank run crisis can be easily resolved. ...

Two days later.

"Give it!"

"Make way!"

"I am Lei Zhenbang from Lei Family Fortress, here by destiny to deliver gold and silver to replenish the bank!"

"Everyone, make way so I can carry the gold and silver in."

"oops!"

"What kind of work is this?!"

Lei Zhenbang led his convoy to the entrance of Hongxiang Money Shop. A servant accidentally knocked over two boxes, spilling out more than a hundred silver ingots, each weighing fifty taels and a little over three jin.

Such a large silver ingot.

So many silver ingots.

It immediately shocked the entire audience.

"My goodness!"

"So much silver?"

"Two boxes already contain so much silver, and there are so many more boxes on the cart, it must amount to at least several hundred thousand taels!"

"Who said the Lei family is poor?"

"The Lei family is incredibly wealthy!"

"I'm not withdrawing! I'm not withdrawing! I deposited it for three years, and it'll mature in six months. Wouldn't it be great to get both the principal and interest then? If I withdraw early now, there'll be no interest, so I'm not withdrawing!"

……

Inside and outside the money shop.

Among the crowd.

They all sound like shills.

But people tend to follow the crowd, and seeing so much silver being transported over was enough to prove the Lei family's strength.

In addition, early withdrawal results in a significant loss of interest, which inevitably causes many depositors distress.

In addition, although the Lei family has been slow in exchanging money these past two days, they have not made any excuses to any depositor who came to exchange money and have refunded them in full.

It's just a bit slow.

The queue is too long.

But ultimately it did help many people settle down.

'Ah! ’

'A bunch of worthless commoners, utterly useless!'

'With a clever trick, the patriarch averted the crisis.'

Lei Zhenbang inwardly scorned these depositors; they believed everything they heard and were nothing special!

He was secretly pleased with himself.

however.

At this time.

"Don't believe their nonsense!"

"Hongxiang Money Exchange is out of money! They've only redeemed 100 depositors in the last two days, deliberately stalling for time!"

"The chests on the carriage were full of stones; they deliberately dropped two chests of real gold and silver to fool everyone!"

"Let's all charge in together!"

"Overturn the remaining boxes, and the truth will be revealed when you see the stone!"

……

in all directions.

Dozens or even hundreds of people spoke in unison, pushing and shoving within the crowd, pulling a large number of people towards the convoy.

Some people were genuinely coerced.

Some people are feeling panicked.

Some people simply wanted to see if there was silver on the carriage. If there was, they could overturn it and secretly hide two silver ingots to take home while there were many people around. Who would know?

then.

With the encouragement and impetus of hundreds of people, hundreds more rushed forward.

Hundreds of people stormed the area.

"who!"

"Who's talking nonsense!"

"Don't panic! Anyone who goes forward will die!"

Lei Zhenbang never expected the situation to take such a sudden turn for the worse, and he broke out in a cold sweat instantly.

He shouted, but his shouts were completely drowned out by the deafening roar of hundreds of assassins leading the charge, and he couldn't even make a ripple.

Lei Zhenbang was shocked and furious.

A clanging sound.

He drew his knife, ready to kill and establish his authority, but some unruly commoner bumped into him. He felt something strange in his chest, looked down, and found that he had been stabbed right through the heart.

"Uh!"

"Uh!"

Lei Zhenbang was out of breath.

Bang!
He fell to the ground.

As he fell, he saw the box tip over and the stones fall. In that instant, he seemed to see not the money box or the stones falling, but—

The Lei family has been around for a century!
