Chapter 29: Measure Others by Your Own Heart

  Yu Ze established a moment of stillness, borrowing the power of this energy group to begin circulating and refining his blood according to the Xue Gang Jue, tempering his body. This time, with the help of this energy group, his true yuan was abundant, and Yu Ze began his own cultivation of refining his blood and tempering his body.

  This aura is like the infinite, and the blood energy in his body will increase infinitely, slowly merging with his own blood vessels, and fusing with his fresh blood to form a strange kind of energy. This energy will silently change his blood, changing his physique.

  Thus, pain and joy coexisted, Yu Ze Cheng's blood slowly congealed into a purple color, this terrifying purple color was abnormal. Under the impact of this purple blood, Yu Ze Cheng's blood vessels began to change, impurities were eliminated, blood vessels solidified, and blood purification increased. He strengthened his blood vessels infinitely, this process lasted for a whole day and night, only when his body reached its limit did he consider it complete. After completion, the blood once again transformed into its normal color. The fifth transformation was considered the completion of the first transformation.

  The rest was a success, and it wasn't until afterwards that I realized it had been a whole day and night. That strange ball of true energy was still there, but it was smaller now. My body felt refreshed in a way that's hard to describe, my condition was great, and I felt an indescribable sense of relief.

  I have a kind of refreshing and comfortable feeling. This is probably the feeling of enhanced blood circulation, but no other abnormalities have been found for now, it seems that time is needed to slowly explore.

  After waking up, Yu Ze Cheng found that his disciples were all waiting outside. This kind of cultivation for a day and night was something that other masters had also experienced. It was said that Yu Ze Cheng possessed the immortal method, so it was even more normal.

  Cultivation is not accomplished overnight, being overly impatient will lead to premature growth, which is not a good thing. Besides, there are many things to attend to in the territory, and one must return to take charge. Yu Ze Cheng bid farewell to his family and led his disciples back to Shanzhu City.

  Returning to Shanzhu City, at the moment of entering the city, Yu Ze Cheng suddenly had a feeling that this Shanzhu City was his home. Linhai City was good, but it wasn't his own territory after all.

  As they entered the city, they rode their horses forward, with countless people pointing and discussing them, all praising him as a young hero. Passersby made way for them, shop owners bowed to them with fists clenched in respect, and passing girls looked at them with shy admiration, each scene giving people an indescribable sense of refreshment.

  As he walked, Yu Zecheng suddenly found that everything within three feet around him was clearly projected into his mind, every move and every word of everyone, all known to himself, everything in his heart. This might be the benefit brought by the first transformation, this is probably what they call divine consciousness.

  Unfortunately, this feeling only lasted for a short while and completely disappeared. However, Yu Ze Cheng was able to sense that as long as he persisted, the five elements would merge into a great accomplishment, and this feeling would become his sixth sense.

  Back to the base, entering the mountain gate, the sound of "heh heh" practicing martial arts came from inside. Only saw that the injured disciples who had just recovered were all practicing their martial skills in the performance arena. Ma Tianyu saw Yu Zecheng return and hurried over to hold the reins and welcome Yu Zecheng off his horse.

  Ma Tianyu said:

  "Boss is back, these past few days he's been showing off to the brothers, wherever we go people are setting up dragon gate arrays for us, eating and drinking and having fun are all free, even the matchmaking for our brothers has been going on non-stop, it's really too impressive."

  Yu Zhen smiled and said:

  "Alright, this is what should be done, it's our brother's life at stake."

  After finishing speaking, enter the main hall, all the travelers are waiting there, seeing me then come over and make a gesture with their eyes, saying:

  "Those two guys have already figured out where they are, and indeed they are the undercover agents sent by Tan Er Lang. They are all hiding in Tan Er Lang's secret base, and the specific location has been found. Shall we take action tonight?"

  Yu nodded and said:

  "Tonight you and Gou Lian San Ying go, Lin Ye Hong and Fu Gang will cover for you, all of them wear masks and bring them back to me."

  All travelers nodded and said:

  "In the past two days, many old brothers want to join our place, Big Brother, are we going to accept them or not?"

  Yu Ze Cheng replied:

  "Accept, but must be able to fight and kill on the battlefield. If there are truly talented and skilled ones, then also."

  The traveler said:

  "But with so many people, it's likely that..."

  Yu Ze Cheng said:

  "Don't worry about this, Tan Er Lang has been good to me, and I've got to repay him somehow. His territory is going to waste if he leaves it behind, so let's have our brothers take care of it for him instead."

  Yu Ze Cheng also said:

  "Besides, this tax amount is not very reasonable, we can make some minor adjustments, and there is still a lot of room for improvement. It's enough to support us brothers."

  All travelers nodded, and finally said:

  "By the way, recently a brother said that someone saw Mo Liqing, big brother you should be careful of him. This person is one of the top masters of the Ye Lang Bang Mo family, I'm afraid he wants to assassinate you. When you go to the Rouge Building again, be extremely careful."

  Yu Zhen smiled and said:

  "Killing is also killing Shi Tianyun, grievances have a head and debts have a master, what's the point of killing me?"

  Du Youzi hesitated for a moment before saying:

  "It was Bai He Xi who killed Mo Tian Lang, he's your elder brother, if you don't avenge him, then who will?"

  Yu Ze Cheng couldn't help but be stunned. Forget it, for the next two days, don't go out, wait until the Huo Fu absorbs its energy, then go to the Rouge Building to have fun.

  At midnight, Lin Ye Hong and others set out secretly to Tan Er Lang's mountain gate. Yu Ze Cheng waited at home, and an hour later, the two traitors were brought back.

  It can be said that the process was extremely smooth. After returning, Yu Zecheng was overjoyed, but found that Lin Ye Hong and others had doubts on their faces, as if they were all very puzzled.

  Lin Ye Hong said:

  "Big brother, something's wrong. We've arrived at Tan Er Lang's territory. Although everything looks normal outside, there isn't a single person inside. I don't know where Tan Er Lang's men have gone."

  Now everyone is shouting "Big Brother Yu Zecheng", and in their eyes, they have ignored Yu Zecheng's real age.

  All travelers said:

  "Originally, the two masters who split from our dock had both gone to Tan Er Lang. I thought encountering them would be a big battle, but unexpectedly not one person was there, and the armory was also empty. Various signs indicated that everyone had gone out on a mission. Could it be that Shan Hu Duan has taken action? Why did they keep it from us? Master Gao went to Liu Hu Zi's place to spy."

  Yu Zhen Cheng listened and also had doubts, but didn't meet at the high peak, and returned to say:

  "Carrying the burden, I'm back. It's been confirmed that the Mountain Tiger Branch has absolutely no mission. Tan Er Lang and the others don't know what they're doing."

  Yu Ze then sank into thought for a moment before saying:

  "Tomorrow you all go out to visit relatives and friends, look for previous relationships, and must find out where Tan Er Lang went."

  "Bring back those three guys, tomorrow is the new disciple recruitment day, punish them according to the rules of the gang, three knives and six holes, no mercy."

  Everyone retreated one by one, and at this time Ma Tianyu appeared. He looked at Yu Zecheng as if he wanted to say something. Yu Zecheng glanced at him and said:

  "Speak up if you have something to say."

  Ma Tianyu said:

  "Among these people, Liu Xiaoguang is not a mole, he was really scared and escaped to his home, hiding. Big brother will punish him tomorrow, his family wants to see him tonight to bid farewell, what do you think?"

  Yu Ze Cheng said:

  "As a disciple of the Ferocious Tiger Gang, you must be prepared to die for the gang. Since you've taken the money, you must complete the task. Deserting at the critical moment is not allowed by the gang's rules. Tomorrow, you will have to undergo the three cuts and six holes ritual. Let your family see it if they want to. You take them there. By the way, make something delicious for the three of them tonight, and set out tomorrow."

  Ma Tianyu suddenly knelt down and said:

  "Big brother. He is the only son in the family, with four sisters, and his father is disabled. He fears that if he dies in battle, there will be no one to support his family, so he escaped. He is different from those two losers."

  "Spare his life, big brother, please. If he dies, his family will be finished. I've known him since we were kids, and he's always worked hard to support his family. He's not a gangster, it was my mistake that brought him here, seeing the example of easy money as an apprentice, I dragged him into this. Please, big brother, give his family a chance to survive."

  Ma Tianyu's pleading heart was evident, and Yu Cheng looked at him for a moment before speaking.

  "The punishment is three cuts and six holes, the rules cannot be broken. This sentence must be carried out, but there is no rule that the prisoner must die. You can come to wield the knife tomorrow."

  As soon as he said this, Ma Tianyu suddenly understood what he meant and immediately knelt down to Yu Zecheng and kowtowed, saying:

  "This is me thanking big brother on behalf of Ah Guang's family."

  Yu then took out ten taels of silver and said:

  "Mind your own business and don't be too fake. Also, let them leave Shan Zhu City as a family, I don't want to see them again, lest my brother gossips."

  After finishing speaking, Ma Tianyu lowered his head and fell silent, then stood up and left.

  Yu then let out a sigh, tomorrow two lives will end like this, his hands can be said to be stained with blood, but he must move on. This Liu Xiaoguang is not a traitor, just cowardly and timid. To some extent, they are very similar, both have to support a family, struggling hard to make a living, it's because of this that he sympathizes with him, hoping that in the future someone will treat him the same way, so he wants to spare his life once. Ma Tianyu is a man of his word, even if it means buying off the person who hired him.
