Bodhisattva, please help me in my spiritual practice!

After the mound of skulls was completed, the clerk also had people carry out loads of silver dollars from the backyard.

The clerk might not be able to find small treasures, but as a trusted confidant, he knew exactly what the large silver dollars and gold were like, because all that money had to pass through his hands to be counted.

The dozen or so loads of silver dollars stacked together attracted more attention than the mound of skulls next to them, making the thugs present breathe more heavily.

People die for wealth, birds die for food!

When Ao Peng saw this, he laughed loudly a few more times. He wasn't afraid that these people were greedy for money; he was afraid that they weren't greedy at all!

First, he grabbed the silver dollars and scattered them around the yard in large handfuls, like throwing flowers.

The silver coins hit people, which hurt a little, but everyone enjoyed it.

This is an insult to us with money!

So please don't be shy!

Give it your all, we can take it!

The silver coins that hit them landed on the bluestone slabs with a crisp sound, and were very bright under the light of the gas lamp.

But no one dared to pick them up, because the mound of Jingguan in the middle was still there!

After laughing heartily, Ao Peng waved his cloak and, with an air of nonchalance, sat back down in the main seat. "Pick it up!"

After he gave the order, the thugs below frantically picked up the money around them.

Seeing that most of the money had been collected and that a fight was about to break out over the remaining amount, Ao Peng shouted in a low voice, "Stop!"

His intimidating roar was like a tiger's roar, instantly deterring everyone's greed.

Even if some people are reluctant to leave, they have no choice but to stop.

Ao Peng continued, "Those of us in the underworld risk our lives for money. I, Ao Peng, don't care about morality or ethics. I'll just say one thing: of all the money, I, Ao Peng, will only take one-tenth, and the rest will be distributed among my brothers. If I break this promise, may I be as broken as this piece of wood!"

As he spoke, he slammed his palm down on the sandalwood table beside him. With the force of a tiger and the strength of steel, he smashed the sandalwood table to pieces in one blow!

The crashing sound, like muffled thunder, echoed throughout the courtyard.

Only one-tenth?

That means the remaining nine-tenths are distributed to their own family members!

Those present initially couldn't believe it, but then they realized that Ao Peng was about to divide up all of Xu Hong's savings accumulated over decades, so they had no choice but to believe it.

Therefore, everyone naturally has their own judgment.

Following this new leader doesn't seem like a bad thing.

As for avenging Xu Hong...

Even if Xu Hong were to come back to life, would everyone be able to share his silver?

Ao Peng didn't waste any words. He looked at the clerk and said, "The remaining silver should be distributed among the brothers inside, from highest to lowest rank. But I must get at least two silver dollars. Make it clear to the brothers who aren't here that this is my reward for them—wine money. Follow me..."

"As long as I, Ao Peng, am alive, I will distribute the money for wine once a month!"

Since he's only staying in this instance world for two months anyway, the bigger the promise he makes, the better.

Ao Peng's words made all the thugs present feel as if they had never met a wise ruler in their lives, and if he did not abandon them, they would be willing to become his godfather!

With everyone's emotions stirred up, someone naturally had to ignite those emotions.

Imitating the mannerisms of a theatrical performance, Chen Xiaodao knelt down on the blue bricks with a thud, wincing in pain, but still gritting his teeth and saying, "General Wu's righteousness and kindness are beyond compare; your brothers will certainly go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Seeing Chen Xiaodao kneeling with his teeth clenched, Ao Peng thought to himself, "This kid is honest. He doesn't need to kneel so hard next time."

With someone taking the lead, everyone present naturally knelt down and made a vow.

Having received the oath, Ao Peng stood up as well. "Brothers, you must have heard people say I possess demonic magic!"

"But in reality, I am a true disciple of Taoism. In these chaotic times, the Qing dynasty has been corrupted by evil forces, so the Old Immortal of Nanhua appeared to me in a dream and sent me to change the destiny of Heaven and restore order to the nation!"

As he spoke, he flicked his wrist, and a ball of Kundalini fire floated in his palm. Then he circulated Yin and Yang, using his own fire of humanity and society to strengthen this ball of Kundalini fire.

Then, the Kundalini energy surged in Ao Peng's palm, and a golden, armored general image vaguely appeared.

This golden-armored general radiated a humanistic glow, which warmed people and immediately dispelled the claim that Ao Peng was a demon, eliminating everyone's last remaining concerns.

Yeah, I've never heard of this kid before.

In the past two days, he suddenly had a breakthrough and killed dozens of people by himself. This is something that no martial arts master could do. It must be a divine intervention, a divine mandate!

With the blessing of destiny upon him, everyone looked at Ao Peng differently, with more genuine admiration.

Having dealt with these hundred-plus core members, Ao Peng left the remaining two to three thousand people to be dealt with by these core members, as he had other important matters to attend to.

That night, Hongniang stopped practicing her cultivation.

Ao Peng sat up, entered a state of enlightenment, and his thoughts became much clearer.

The first thing is to assess our own capabilities in today's big battle.

The combination of Shaoyin Rat Fur and Chaos is a divine skill.

While the ability to walk in shadows is powerful, it is not suitable for assassination.

Walking in the shadows is not about moving through shadows or jumping.

Even when the Rat-faced Man personally used his talent, he first created a shadowy opening.

This gives you a moment or two to change things.

For a master, that one or two breaths is enough to decide life or death.

However, when combined with chaos, it's a different story. The moment the shadow opening is opened, chaos covers it, completely making up for the time that has passed, allowing Ao Peng's assassination to be almost unpredictable!

Even a master of the Transformation Realm would have no chance of resistance if their neck was severed with a single blow.

The second is the ability of the whiny monster Chaos that it hatched itself.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this guy doesn't have much direct combat ability right now, and all he does is "block and turn off the lights".

However, this is the power of the rule of authority. In other words, as long as there is no rule of authority that can counteract this level of power, whether it is magic or supernatural power, and its form is light or sound, as long as it touches these two points, it will be directly erased and cannot penetrate the chaos!

Today, Monk Yuanqi lit a lamp before the Buddha, which manifested an image of a Bodhisattva. However, this image did not have any effect at all, as it was directly 'turned off' by Chaos!

There's a saying that goes something like this: I may be foolish, but as long as I bring others down to the same level, I can defeat them with my rich experience.

The power of chaos is a manifestation of this.

Ao Peng pondered for a moment. Spells and supernatural powers that could be used without the aid of sound and light were extremely rare. Therefore, Chaos was already enough to restrain ninety percent of the supernatural powers and spells in the world.

The only drawback is that it consumes too much energy and has a limited range. Right now, even if he fully activates the Xuanming Chaos Outer View, he can only be a real man for five minutes. Any more and he will be completely drained.

Ao Peng began to think about the path ahead after this instance.

The main storyline of the instance is to complete the Tianjin Martial Arts Tournament two months later. The only requirement is to survive, and there is no need to even place.

After all, this is just a test of fate for those with only a few lives.

But Ao Peng was definitely not satisfied with this.

A weaker challenge means a weaker reward.

But this is an open world, and Ao Peng's own strength has already surpassed the level of a martial artist, so he naturally wants to seek greater benefits.

Today, teahouses throughout Tianjin are buzzing with news of "Feng Yuxiang's defection" and "the emperor being driven out of the Forbidden City."

Yi Yuan reported the news to Ao Peng every day, and Ao Peng naturally heard the news as well.

His knowledge of history is average.

But we also know what terrible things the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty did!

If the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty had only lost his country, people would have just criticized him for his incompetence, and many would have even lamented his bad luck.

If he were to die for his country like Emperor Chongzhen...

Even if people don't acknowledge his abilities, they will ultimately give him a fair evaluation in later historical records.

What despicable things did the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty do? To put it bluntly, he not only let down the people of the world, but he even let down his own ancestors!

Such traitors and domestic beasts deserve to be killed by everyone!

The treasures he took from the palace should also belong to the virtuous!
