The power unleashed by Han Zheng and Bu Tiange with their sword and saber reached the pinnacle of strength, completely surpassing the limits of a True Pill Realm Martial Artist.

    It could be said that any Yang God Realm Great Grandmaster who came forward would need to exert their full strength to withstand it.

    Sheng Tian''an aggressively attacked, using the Heaven and Earth Power to forcibly suppress the backlash of the Swallowing Origin Absolute Saber, but after devouring Han Zheng and Bu Tiange''s strike, he could no longer hold on.

    In the black hole, boundless Qi Blood Demonic Qi suddenly erupted, the majestic Sword Intent spewing all over. Sheng Tian''an''s face turned pale, blood oozing from his mouth and nose, and his veins pulsed violently, as if giant worms were crawling through them.

    The previous confidence in Sheng Tian''an''s eyes vanished, and he turned to flee.

    If he didn''t suppress the backlash soon, he would truly die!

    His Black Feather Building had just taken shape, and he harbored greater ambitions: to spread Black Feather Building across the entire Martial World, expanding Black Feather Thirteen Buildings to one hundred thirty.

    He wanted to transform from the underground king of the Capital City to the underground emperor of the whole Martial World!

    These ambitions were not realized yet, how could he die here?

    Han Zheng shook his head lightly, "Thinking of escaping now? It''s too late!"

    With his words, Han Zheng pointed a finger, and the power of the Tribulation Sky swiftly descended upon Sheng Tian''an.

    Sheng Tian''an sensed an unusual fluctuation around him, knowing it was the Heaven and Earth Power surging; he tried to respond but was too late.

    Han Zheng''s Supreme Tribulation Sky Finger was not an external attack but invoked the power of Heavenly Tribulation upon himself, imbued with a trace of Life and Death Origin.

    Though it was a mere wisp of Life and Death Origin, the power of the Supreme Tribulation Sky Finger was something even Sheng Tian''an couldn''t comprehend or withstand the consuming presence of.

    suddenly exploded at Sheng Tian''an''s chest, blasting a large crater through his chest immediately.

    Han Zheng stepped forward and searched Sheng Tian''an''s body for a moment, finding a Qiankun Bag.

    Inside were his Xuanpin Pearl and some common Elixirs, but most notably, there was also a register.

    The register recorded the information of the Tower Masters of Black Feather Thirteen Buildings and the various criminals and villains sheltered by the Black Feather Building.

    With this register in hand, Han Zheng could thoroughly dismantle the Black Feather Building.

    Han Zheng turned to Ji Xuanjing, cupped his hands, and said, "Forgive me, Your Highness, the man''s dead now, making this game a stalemate.

    But no matter, with him dead, the debts are cleared, and this matter can be considered resolved."

    Ji Xuanjing took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Han Zheng, it''s been a long time since I''ve seen someone so audacious.

    Well done, you did well!"

    With that, Ji Xuanjing flicked his sleeve and turned away, clearly furious.

    Han Zheng lightly raised his eyebrows. Bu Tiange beside him chuckled, "You''re finished, the Second Prince has definitely borne a grudge against you."

    "Let him hate, if he wants. Being so easily provoked by such a trivial matter shows his pretense of being open-minded is unsustainable. This Second Prince''s cultivation is still somewhat shallow."

    Just from this incident, Han Zheng''s opinion of Ji Xuanjing dropped a few more points.

    Ji Xuanjing outwardly always projected a persona of benevolence and wisdom, respecting scholars, which was quite a good disguise.

    The problem is, even if pretending, it needs to be done properly; this Second Prince''s guise is still just surface-level.

    For instance, just now, Sheng Tian''an was already dead, and the Black Feather Building no longer held any value.

    If the Second Prince truly had deep schemes, he should''ve pretended to be indifferent, and there''s no need to throw harsh words at Han Zheng.

    In the end, he couldn''t even restrain his own anger; how does he plan to contend for the throne in the future?

    The rise of Ji Xuanjing was merely because Ji Taichang despised the Crown Prince, thus giving him the opportunity.

    Otherwise, given Ji Xuanjing''s superficial cunning and scheming, he couldn''t possibly compete with the Crown Prince, who had a strong foundational support.

    At this time, Xiang Yuangong and the others came over, somewhat guilty, saying, "My lord, Huai Rang and the others escaped."

    Accompanying Sheng Tian''an were Huai Rang and three Sub-building Masters from the Black Feather Building.

    The three were rather slippery, immediately fleeing at the slightest sign of trouble. Sёar?h the n?vel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    "It''s alright, you can run, but you can''t hide. I have Sheng Tian''an''s register here, just follow it to capture them, and it will be fine."

    Xiang Yuangong and the others exchanged glances, excitement gleaming in their eyes.

    This was a massive achievement!

    The Black Feather Building was the leader of the underground forces in the Capital City; completely wiping it out was no lesser an accomplishment than eliminating remnants of the Blood Demon Sect.

    "Don''t celebrate too early, once we return to the Demon Cleansing Bureau, help me arrange meetings with the other Chief of Thirteen Guards currently in headquarters to ask them to join in eradicating the Black Feather Building."

    Xiang Yuangong asked, surprised, "My lord, Sheng Tian''an is dead, and the Black Feather Building is leaderless. We shouldn''t have any problem eradicating it, so why share the credit?"

    Han Zheng replied calmly, "The Black Feather Building is leaderless, but those Sub-building Masters aren''t easy to deal with either; each is a notorious criminal.

    With our Jing''an Guard''s strength, we can only wipe out one or two sub-buildings at most, while the others will undoubtedly hide away.

    But that''s not the main point; the main point is that I killed Sheng Tian''an, and surely someone will find trouble with me later.

    Sheng Tian''an''s identity is sensitive and special. The Duke An Mansion still holds a considerable network; even the Emperor back then didn''t eliminate them completely.

    Though many years have passed, who knows if someone might still stand up for Sheng Tian''an?

    It''s possible someone inside our Demon Department might support him, claiming my actions were inappropriate.

    To be safe, we must share this credit; with all Thirteen Guards acting together, the law won''t blame the masses, and if someone challenges us, the Grand Commander can also speak for us."

    Xiang Yuangong and his companions were completely convinced.

    Lord Han is truly Lord Han, taking down a Yang God with a True Pill, yet he remains utterly devoid of arrogance, able to calmly analyze the current situation.

    If it were them, they would probably be too excited and focused on eradicating the Black Feather Building to seize credit.

    No time to delay, everyone immediately prepared to return to the Demon Department to gather forces, while Bu Tiange lazily remarked, "This battle was quite enjoyable; that Sheng Tian''an indeed had some skill.

    You folks from the Demon Cleansing Bureau wear black clothes, but your hearts are just as dark, plotting everywhere.

    I''m tired of your scheming, heading back to drink more."

    Han Zheng bowed, "Thank you for your assistance this time."

    Bu Tiange didn''t even turn around, just waved, "Don''t be so formal with me!"

    Han Zheng: "..."

    ......

    As Han Zheng was preparing to return to the Demon Department to gather the other Thirteen Guards to wipe out the Black Feather Building, Ji Xuanjing, still fuming, went to drink away his frustrations at another of his taverns, the Huayue Building.

    He had calculated everything perfectly, believing he would earn favors from both Sheng Tian''an and Han Zheng in one move.

    In the end, Sheng Tian''an was killed, and he made an enemy out of Han Zheng; it was a wasted trip, and his most profitable tavern was opened up, too.

    At that moment, a voice suddenly came, "Second Prince, drinking away your sorrows like this could easily harm your health."

    The face of Hai Gonggong, who stood behind Ji Xuanjing, changed drastically, as he hadn''t sensed where the voice came from.

    But the next moment, Prince Liang, Ji Yuanfang, clad in a black Python Robe, appeared opposite Ji Xuanjing, pouring himself a drink.

    Hai Gonggong''s face turned grim.

    He was responsible for Ji Xuanjing''s protection, yet someone could appear before Ji Xuanjing in an instant without him noticing; didn''t that mean if the person wanted to kill Ji Xuanjing, he wouldn''t have been able to respond in time?

    Ji Xuanjing was also taken aback by Ji Yuanfang''s sudden appearance.

    He was slightly annoyed, "What are you doing, Uncle, trying to scare me? We could have openly discussed this at home, why did you just show up suddenly?"

    Ji Xuanjing wasn''t very familiar with Ji Yuanfang, and their relationship was quite ordinary.

    Because he knew his father seemed to be wary of this Imperial Uncle, which made him and his brothers avoid too much contact with him.

    If Ji Taichang found out he secretly met Ji Yuanfang, that would be a disaster, so Ji Xuanjing was slightly panicked at this moment.
