My cultivation techniques can be infinitely fused.

This was arguably Lu Zheng's most rewarding battle yet, as he gained powerful subordinates and his own cultivation had also improved.

We'll deal with a branch leader whose strongest member is only at the True Essence Realm.

Therefore, he rushed straight in.

He was surrounded by imperial guards.

A large number of strongmen walked forward, holding shields.

Whenever an enemy is encountered, axe blades and hammers fall continuously because of the heavy armor.

Therefore, even for those martial arts masters, it is not easy to kill them in one blow.

Combined with military tactics, this can be achieved when there is a significant numerical advantage.

They are not ordinary soldiers, and cannot be compared to even some experts.

Although Lu Zheng's current cultivation level is only at the Blood Transformation Realm, he has achieved perfect breakthroughs in every realm and his cultivation techniques are highly compatible with his opponent's. Therefore, in battle, experts of the same realm are truly no match for him.

A Xuanjian Sect expert at the Blood Transformation Realm charged towards him with his sword raised. The chilling sword light flashed with streaks of cold light. However, just as he approached Lu Zheng...

"Ding!"

The latter swung his iron-handled sword, slashing out and cutting his opponent's longsword in two.

The sword blade fell to the ground.

At this moment, Lu Zheng's second strike had already landed.

  

"laugh!"

He directly beheaded a Blood Refining Realm cultivator.

The system's voice sounded in his mind at that moment.

[Congratulations, host! You have slain an expert of the same realm and gained 100 achievement points.]

Lu Zheng ignored all the data and charged ahead.

It crashed into it.

The army followed closely behind.

Like a tidal wave.

At this time, Wei Cheng's performance was outstanding.

He charged forward wielding a large hammer, and anyone below the True Essence Realm could usually be killed with a single blow.

Seeing this, Lu Zheng sighed inwardly, realizing he had struck gold this time.

Xia Nihuang also looked at Wei Cheng at the same time, and couldn't help but think, "No wonder they say that heroes come from the North. It's true. Wei Cheng's strength and talent are probably far beyond what some ordinary scions of noble families can match. If he has enough resources to cultivate, he will probably become another world-renowned master in the future."

Xia Nihuang has met many outstanding young people.

People like Wei Cheng are rare, although I have seen them before.

However, after a moment of surprise, Xia Nihuang continued the fight.

After all, this is a battlefield. Although she is strong and her side has an absolute advantage, they cannot be careless.

However, she did not reveal any particularly high level of strength.

It's just about protecting oneself in a crowd.

As time passed, about half an hour later, Wang Yan finally couldn't hold on any longer.

He watched as his men died one by one in battle.

He was momentarily distracted, and Li Tong seized the opportunity to kick him in the chest, sending him crashing to the ground.

"Bang!"

After the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground was heard.

Wang Yan collapsed to the ground, spitting out blood.

At this moment, he shouted angrily, "You fourteen ghosts of Qingzhou, you dare to betray the sect, the sect leader will definitely not let you off!"

"Hehe, as the saying goes, 'Those who learn literary and martial arts should sell their goods to the emperor.' Why would I follow you guys if I could serve the imperial court? Wouldn't it be better to have Lord Lu as my backer and wipe out all of you remnants of sects?"

"You talk too much nonsense." Li Tong was a villain to begin with, so he naturally didn't care about Wang Yan's words. When he fell to the ground, he stepped on the latter's stomach.

"Pfft!" Wang Yan spat out another mouthful of blood.

Then, Li Tong was seen wielding his longsword.

"Sizzle!"

As the sword swept across, the muscles in Wang Yan's arms and legs were severed.

The elite cavalry of the Hundred Cavalry Division immediately surrounded him and pierced his collarbone.

As for the others, Lu Zheng did not choose to leave any survivors, and with a single order, he killed them all.

After all, this way he can gain more proficiency and achievement points on the battlefield.

Now that he is in charge of the army alone, he can make direct decisions.

"Lu Zheng, you lackey of the imperial court, how dare you commit such a massacre! The sects of the world will not let you get away with this!" Wang Yan roared as he watched his disciples and servants being slaughtered in his mansion.

"Drag him away and ask him if he knows where the Xuanjian Sect's headquarters is. If he does, give him a quick death. If he's stubborn, then deal with him properly." Lu Zheng's indifferent voice rang out.

Huang Yan waved goodbye.

Wang Yan was taken away by the imperial guards.

Then, a look of anticipation appeared on Lu Zheng's face. The branch of the Xuanjian Sect must have a lot of good stuff.

At the very least, he was determined to own those two estates.

Turning to Huang Yan, he said, "Send someone to inform Wei Tong that these two estates in Fengling County are now under his management. Recruit some farmhands and tenants as soon as possible, so as not to delay the spring planting."

Then, they walked straight inside.

The Wang family's estate is very large.

As soon as Lu Zheng arrived in the backyard, he ordered his men to begin searching.

Xia Nihuang, who had been following him closely, whispered, "You're not planning to take everything from the Wang family for yourself, are you?"

"You're not going to report me, are you? I've worked so hard, risking my life to do this job, shouldn't I get some benefits in return?" Lu Zheng said matter-of-factly.

Xia Nihuang was speechless for a moment.

It seems that what the other person said makes some sense.

Therefore, I will not say more.

Just then, Deputy Commander Shi Heng walked over, cupped his fists to Lu Zheng, and said, "Sir, a large amount of grain reserves, about 30,000 shi, have been discovered in the Wang family's residence, along with a secret room."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zheng immediately became interested.

He immediately spurred his warhorse forward, saying, "Let's go take a look."

As they were talking, they walked inside.

Finally, they stopped outside a secret room in the backyard, where Xia Nihuang was curiously looking inside.

She had seen ministers have their homes ransacked several times, but she had never seen a secret chamber like this one belonging to a sect before.

Lu Zheng patted her shoulder and said, "Don't just stand there, go inside and take a look. If you like anything, I'll pick one or two for you."

After saying that, he went inside.

Upon entering the secret room, one is greeted by a dazzling display of gold.

It contained a large amount of gold and silver valuables.

After a cursory glance, Lu Zheng estimated that, not counting the silver notes, the cash alone was probably worth over a million taels, along with various jade and jadeite artifacts.

With these, he could buy more estates and elixirs to help his men improve their strength.

Finally, Lu Zheng's gaze settled on a box.

Inside, there were silver notes, and outside were some secret manuals.

There were more than ten books, but their levels were not very high. Some were second-grade, some were third-grade, and none of them were fourth-grade techniques.

This disappointed Lu Zheng somewhat, but even a mosquito's leg is meat.

If the quality is not up to par, increasing the quantity can also lead to a qualitative change.

He gained quite a few achievement points this time, which he could use to try integrating these techniques.

Then, turning to Xia Nihuang beside him, he said, "Choose one or two if you like them."

Then, without waiting for a response, he turned to Shi Heng and said, "Keep half of the goods here for me, and you and your brothers can divide the rest. Don't treat everyone unfairly."

After saying that, he waved his hand, signaling to move the things.

Shi Heng immediately smiled. He had long heard that this lord was willing to spend money on his subordinates. When others encountered something like confiscating property, they would be lucky to leave their subordinates with 30% of the proceeds. He did not expect Lu Zheng to give them half of the proceeds directly.

He quickly replied, "Yes, sir."

Then, he notified his men to start moving things.
