Chapter 46

"Ahem... everyone, please be quiet." Zhou Yang lightly coughed, his gaze sweeping around the room. Instantly, the rumbling noise vanished, turning into a profound silence. Soon, the entire Multiverse Tower fell quiet.

"This discount at the Multiverse Tower is only for those who possess Heavenly Virtue. Heavenly Virtue is the reward given by the Heavenly Dao for doing good deeds."

"For example, a great hero in the martial world who upholds justice, eliminates evil, and fights for righteousness; a minister in the imperial court who worries about the state and its people; and a ruler who thinks of the nation and implements benevolent governance. These actions can all earn Heavenly Virtue."

Most people in the Multiverse Tower looked at each other, their faces solemn. Only a few had slight smiles on their faces.

Seeing the expressions of the crowd below, Zhou Yang remained silent. He was not a savior; he only needed to do his part.

After a while, the gazes of the crowd changed slightly, especially when they looked at the corrupt officials and the scum of the martial world. Killing these people could earn Heavenly Virtue.

"What are you looking at? Want to kill me? I am just another version of you from another world." An old man with white hair and a fierce look roared at a tall, muscular young man beside him.

"You'd better be careful. I've already found out that as long as I can pay the value points, I can go to your world. Even if you are me, I will still kill you." The muscular young man said coldly.

The old man's face was full of anger. "You beast, without you, there would be no me. Now you even want to kill yourself."

"From today on, I will kill all the bad people." The muscular young man said fiercely.

"Damn! You hypocrite, you know that your future name will be 'Blood Butcher.' No matter if it's men, women, or children, as long as you receive the money, you leave no one alive. Now you want to play the good guy."

The muscular young man's face was cold. "That's what you did, not me."

For those martial artists without a sect or school, who had little hope of obtaining a supreme secret manual, this news brought a smile to their faces. This was their chance.

They didn't have secret manuals or gold, but there would always be bad people in the world, and they would never run out.

This way, they would have a steady source of value points, and one day, they could gather enough to obtain a supreme secret manual.

Zhou Yang stayed for a while and then returned to the front desk.

In the crowd!

"Why are you just arriving now?" Mingguang Emperor Zhu Changluo, wearing a blood-stained light armor, and Song Emperor Zhaohuan, who looked pale and weak, hurried over. Chongzhen Emperor sighed in relief; it was good that Mingguang Emperor Zhu Changluo was safe.

Mingguang Emperor Zhu Changluo was born to a palace maid, and his humble birth made him unpopular with the emperor. He suffered neglect and persecution in the palace, and his position as crown prince was often threatened. He lived in constant fear and under the shadow of conspiracies.

Because of his own suffering, Mingguang Emperor Zhu Changluo always took good care of his children, even pampering them.

Although the two emperors were not much different in age, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian still respected his father, who was extremely fond of women and wanted to be a wise ruler.

The Song emperors also approached Song Emperor Zhaohuan.

"Has the Jin army already reached Tokyo?" Song Emperor Huizong Zhao Ji, looking at Song Emperor Zhaohuan's pale face, said with a grim expression.

After all, the humiliation of Jingkang was partly his fault. To save his life, he had passed the throne to Song Emperor Zhaohuan, making him the emperor who lost the country.

"Should I send some troops in advance?" In his heart, Song Emperor Huizong Zhao Ji felt some guilt towards Song Emperor Zhaohuan.

"I have been confiscating property for three days and three nights," Song Emperor Zhaohuan said coldly. "I started from the east of the city and went to the west, from the north to the south, and from you to my grandson, I didn't spare anyone."

Thinking about how he had been toyed with by the Jin for over thirty years, suffering daily torture and abuse, not just for a few days but for the rest of his life, made him shudder.

The Jin were a group of uncivilized barbarians. Once in their hands, who knew what horrors would befall him.

So, after returning to Tokyo, Song Emperor Zhaohuan started confiscating property.

The first place he raided was the original palace of Song Emperor Huizong Zhao Ji, which was rich in wealth and treasures. However, he didn't touch most of the artworks, only taking the gold and jade, which could be exchanged for value points. As for the others, he didn't spare any of the traitorous and surrendering ministers, leaving them with nothing.

After learning at the auction that he would be captured by the Jin, he found a scholar from the Ming dynasty and paid 100 taels of silver to have his life story told. He carefully remembered it all.

He had only been emperor for a year but was imprisoned for over thirty years, longer than his entire life before that. This almost cost him his life.

Upon returning to Tokyo, he took one million taels of silver from the national treasury and distributed it to the palace guards to win their loyalty.

Then, he led 5,000 guards, personally raiding every household, from Gao Qiu to Tong Guan, from Song Emperor Huizong Zhao Gou to every royal relative in Tokyo. Whether they were corrupt officials or those who would suffer with him, he confiscated everything from them.

Song Emperor Zhaohuan admitted he was afraid of death and weak, but when faced with something even more terrifying, the strength he displayed was indeed hard to estimate.

After hearing Song Emperor Zhaohuan's words, the crowd looked at Mingguang Emperor Zhu Changluo, wondering if he would be even more ruthless.

"I am much simpler. I just started killing from the east of the city, then moved to the west. I killed without hesitation. Whether it was Wei Zhongxian, Cui Wensheng, or Zheng Guifei, I killed them all. I killed from the streets of Tokyo to the inner palace, from Wei Zhongxian's dog to Zheng Guifei."

Mingguang Emperor Zhu Changluo's face was filled with a murderous aura. He killed all those who had plotted against him, making the ministers kneel and tremble before the palace. If not for the news of the Multiverse Tower's discount, he would have continued killing.

I'm sorry for the delay today!
