Astonishing Wealth: Going Alone

The air was exceptionally fresh in the early morning, and Zhang Xingfeng was in an excellent mood. Everything at the jade shop and Tianfeng Casino had been arranged perfectly. Now, all he had to do was: dig up an earth-shattering treasure!

"Young Master, the carriage has been waiting for quite a while!" Qiu Zhi said anxiously. She didn't understand why Zhang Xingfeng wasn't in a hurry at all; those outside were all imperial guards!

Zhang Xingfeng smiled slightly and said, "Qiu Zhi, would they dare to be late? These guards can only arrive early; their mission is to wait for me. You still don't understand what our Star Peak Manor truly represents?" With that, Zhang Xingfeng turned and left.

Qiu Zhi was a little dazed. "What does Star Peak Manor represent? Isn't it just a rich man's manor?" Qiu Zhi, who had only recently arrived at the Star Peak Manor, still didn't understand Zhang Xingfeng's power.

What does Star Peak Manor represent? Among the major super powers, Star Peak Manor represents invincibility! It even carries the order: it is invincible! But all of this is because of one person within the Star Peak Manor:

Zhang Xingfeng is invincible!

"Earl Zhang, please!" The guards were extremely respectful to Zhang Xingfeng.

Zhang Xingfeng responded and entered the luxurious carriage. Once inside, Zhang Xingfeng closed his eyes and began to meditate.

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped outside the Imperial Guard camp outside the city.

Zhang Xingfeng walked out with a strange smile on his lips. Zhu Li was already standing outside the camp. Seeing Zhang Xingfeng get off the carriage, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Young Master Zhang, I've finally waited for you, haha... Why hasn't Li Family Head arrived yet?"

Suddenly, Zhu Li's face showed a very strange expression, and he said, "Young Master Zhang, did you come alone today?"

Zhang Xingfeng nodded, then suddenly said with a hint of arrogance, "Your Majesty, I think I am sufficient to handle this alone!"

Zhu Li suddenly laughed a few times to ease the tense atmosphere. The guards had already drawn their swords when they heard Zhang Xingfeng dare to refer to himself as "I" in front of the Emperor.

"What are you guys doing? Get out of here!" Zhu Li glared at them, and seeing the guards retreat in fear, he turned to Zhang Xingfeng with satisfaction and said, "Young Master Zhang, why don't you rest in the camp for a while?"

Zhang Xingfeng smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty is waiting here, how can I rest on the side? I'll stay here and wait for the Li Family. Hmm... Your Majesty, who do you plan to send to dig for the treasure?"

Zhu Li smiled amicably at Zhang Xingfeng, then turned and waved into the distance. A very burly general walked over, and upon seeing Zhang Xingfeng, immediately bowed slightly and said, "I am Zhu Deng, also the Second Prince of the current dynasty."

Zhang Xingfeng nodded secretly. "This Second Prince seems quite rude, but he speaks very carefully. What's most commendable is that he's very humble. In fact, a Second Prince's status is definitely much higher than mine as a count, but Zhu Deng bowed slightly when he saw me." Zhang Xingfeng had already met two of the royal princes. The First Prince and Second Prince were no ordinary figures, so just how outstanding was the legendary third prince? Zhang Xingfeng felt a surge of curiosity.

"Second Prince, I am but a lowly earl, and I cannot bear Second Prince bow," Zhang Xingfeng said deliberately.

Zhu Deng's eyes widened, and he said with an air of seriousness, "Earl Zhang is a role model for us martial artists. What's wrong with me bowing to Earl Zhang once?"

Zhang Xingfeng was taken aback, not expecting the Second Prince to speak from the perspective of a martial artist. He couldn't help but laugh, appearing extremely pleased.

Zhu Deng seemed to feel a little excited because of Zhang Xingfeng's happiness.

"Whoosh!" A gust of wind suddenly arose, causing the guards to involuntarily squint their eyes slightly.

Zhang Xingfeng suddenly laughed, but it was a very strange laugh.

Zhu Li's expression changed, turning somewhat annoyed, but it quickly returned to normal. Zhu Li up into the distance; several hundred more experts were approaching, the one leading them being the Li Family Head.

"Li Family Head, hehe, we've finally waited for the Patriarch." Zhu Li didn't mention the Duke at all, only the Patriarch, clearly regarding Li Family Head as someone of the same rank as himself.

When the Li Family Head approached from afar and heard Zhu Li's words, a smile appeared on his face. He said, "I am truly ashamed to have kept His Majesty waiting."

Zhang Xingfeng glanced at Zhu Li, then at the Li Family Head, and sighed inwardly, "Zhu Li truly deserves to be called a wise ruler; he can endure what others cannot. That Li Family Head is actually quite smug, really..." Little did Zhang Xingfeng know that the Li Family had no choice; that generation only had one male, the Li Family Head, and they had no other option but to pass the position to him. In Li Shimin's eyes, as long as he and his brothers were in charge of the Aristocratic Clan, nothing could go wrong. Besides, the Li Family Head wasn't a fool.

Zhu Li suddenly looked at the men behind the Li Family Head with an appreciative expression and said, "Li Family Head, your subordinates are truly full of talent. It seems that all 500 of them are Innate Master?"

The Li Family Head thought to himself, "It's just 500 people. My Li Family has 5,000 regular Innate Master. It would only take them half an hour to storm the palace, let alone these 500 people." Of course, the Li Family Head wasn't stupid enough to say everything. Looking at Zhu Li, he humbly said, "Your Majesty is wise. I just gathered these 500 people, which is why I'm a little late today."

Zhu Li seemed to take what the Li Family Head said as the truth, and led the Li Family Head and Zhang Xingfeng into the camp.

As he walked, Zhang Xingfeng suddenly stopped, glanced at one of the 500 people from the Li Family, a glint of lightning flashed in his eyes, and a strange smile appeared on his face. Then he turned around and continued walking.

As Zhang Xingfeng turned to walk away, the man Zhang Xingfeng had looked at raised his head, glanced at Zhang Xingfeng's back, and muttered, "You found out? Heh... Zhang Xingfeng... This time, the treasure location will be your death trap..."

As Zhang Xingfeng was walking, a hint of disdain suddenly appeared on his lips.

The center of the Imperial Guard camp.

Zhu Li, the Li Family Head, and Zhang Xingfeng took their seats in turn. In front of them were the imperial and Li Family's treasure-hunting teams, each consisting of five hundred people, with the two teams standing in the north and south respectively.

Clearly, the group from the Li Family were all experts, absolute experts, all at least at the Innate Stage. They looked at the soldiers to the south with obvious disdain, and the aura of Innate Master emanated from them naturally.

The group of experts to the south were no ordinary people either; they were the most valiant members of the Vanguard Battalion, the Vanguard Camp that always led the charge in battle. Their mortality rate was a staggering 90%! These were the heroes of the Vanguard Camp, the survivors of countless battles.

In the army, only those with high military achievements are heroes and earn respect. Therefore, this group of people are all heroes in the army. They certainly wouldn't tolerate such contempt from the Li Family's experts!

Looking at the Li Family's experts, the heroes of the Vanguard Camp thought to themselves, "They're just some guys with slightly higher skill levels. Damn it, I've killed more people than you've eaten! I'll show you guys what death is!"

Killing Intent, an overwhelming Killing Intent, a chilling Killing Intent honed from countless deadly battles, surged terrifyingly toward the 500 experts of the Li Family!

The Li Family experts were suddenly shaken, and a few of the weaker ones even showed a hint of fear in their eyes! Death—how many of these Li Family experts had struggled on the brink of death?

But a master is a master after all. Most of the Li Family's experts felt a surge of anger. "Damn it, aren't you just a bunch of lowly soldiers? How dare you be so arrogant! Let us show you what a true master is!"

Suddenly, the Li Family's expert camp gained momentum, and the heroes of the Vanguard Camp were not to be outdone, their chilling Killing Intent also swelling.

A gust of wind swept across the entire camp square, filling the air with dust. Zhu Li and the Li Family Head, who had just been looking forward to watching the show, realized that things had gone too far. After all, they were now in the same boat!

Zhang Xingfeng scoffed, "You call this cooperation?" His aura suddenly surged, like two hurricanes crashing into the two camps. As the hurricanes raged, the thousand experts fiercely resisted Zhang Xingfeng's aura.

"Bang!"

The experts from the Vanguard Camp and the Li Family Legion all turned pale, with those of lower skill level spitting blood on the spot. Zhang Xingfeng, however, was completely unharmed, leaving the experts astonished.

"If I don't teach you a lesson, you'll think you can bully me just because I came alone today!" Zhang Xingfeng thought to himself as he glanced at Zhen Zhu Li and the Li Family Head.

Zhu Li immediately said, "Alright, everyone, let's not hurt our feelings. Now let's go to the back hall and put the three maps together to see where the treasure is!"
