Four Symbols Sect, Sect Master's Peak.
Yu Haoran ignored the chaotic fighting in the plaza as he turned and spoke to the five Generals.
"Five Generals, it's all thanks to your help that we were able to successfully break through the Four Symbols God-Gathering Formation and destroy the Four Symbols Sect.
"Haoran thanks everyone!" Yu Haoran thanked them sincerely as he clasped his hands.
"Emperor's son-in-law, you're too courteous. This is something that we should do," Lan Rong, who was closer to him, said on behalf of everyone.
"Five Generals, seeing that you've helped me so much, I've decided to take out all the treasures and resources in the Four Symbols Sect's treasury as a reward," Yu Haoran suggested with a smile as he raised his head to indicate that Lan Rong did not need to be modest.
Hearing Yu Haoran's suggestion, Lan Rong and the others could not help but gasp as they looked at him in shock.
Even though Yu Haoran and Han Guangbei had already swept through the Four Symbols Sect's treasury, with Yu Haoran's foresight and Han Guangbei's caution, they had probably only taken away a small portion of the most important treasures.
As such, it was unimaginable just how shocking a second-rate sect's collection would be after ten thousand years.
Now that Yu Haoran had decided to give all of this to the five people present as a reward, how could they not feel shocked?
"Emperor's son-in-law, this subordinate is extremely grateful for your trust and kindness, but doing this will violate the Great Qin's military laws.
Apart from feeling shocked and moved, Lan Rong and the others had to consider Yu Haoran's situation.
According to the laws of the Emperor Qin's Kingdom, all spoils of war had to be reported to the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Personnel, and the court.
The Ministry of War, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Rites would come up with specific rules based on the merits of the battle, and they would redistribute the spoils based on the merits.
However, based on centuries of practice, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Rites had a conscience if they could give out 10% of the resources they collected as rewards.
Therefore, no matter how reluctant he was, Lan Rong rejected Yu Haoran's suggestion after briefly communicating with Li Quanqing and the others through his eyes.
"Are you sure you don't want it?" Yu Haoran asked with a frown.
"We can't harm the Prince Consort because of a moment of greed," Lan Rong replied firmly.
"Prince Consort, these are the treasures this subordinate picked from the treasury. I will hand them over to you now."
Lan Rong and the others' refusal to accept the reward from the treasury made Han Guangbei suddenly think of the merciless military law and the ugly faces of the people from the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Appointments, and the Ministry of Rites.
Although there was only him and the Prince Consort when choosing treasures, as long as the Prince Consort did not take the initiative to say, then no one had the right to ask if he had touched the treasures in the treasury.
However, if he did so, it was very likely that he would bring trouble to Yu Haoran.
Therefore, after much consideration, Han Guangbei finally gritted his teeth and took out the treasures and resources he had picked just now to show that he had the same attitude as Lan Rong and the others.
"Generals, to tell you the truth, even if you don't want the Spiritual Stones, medicinal herbs, elixirs, cultivation methods, celestial devices, and refining materials in the treasury of the Four Symbols Sect, I don't plan to hand them over to the imperial court, let alone the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Rites."
Han Guangbei's unexpected action reminded Yu Haoran of the Emperor Qin's rule about collecting spoils of war.
However, he knew very well that the people from the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Rites were insatiably greedy. How could they be willing to give away the treasures and resources they had worked so hard to get to those people?
"So, this prince consort will ask you one last time. Do you want the reward in the treasury or not?" Yu Haoran put away the smile on his face and asked in a sharp tone.
"This …!" Seeing that Yu Haoran was really angry, Lan Rong and the others hesitated.
"Fine!"
Although Lan Rong and the others refused to accept the resources in the treasury for their own good, Yu Haoran was still very angry at their indecisiveness.
"Since you don't want it, I'll destroy it all. Not even a strand of hair will be left for them."
"I want to see if the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Rites dare to touch me!"
At this point, Yu Haoran directly rose into the air and headed straight for the treasury.
"Quick, go and stop the Prince Consort!"
Yu Haoran gritted his teeth just now. It was obvious that he was not joking. He probably really wanted to destroy the treasury.
Therefore, Lan Rong, who was the first to react, quickly reminded him.
"Boom …!"
However, just as Lan Rong and the others rose into the air to stop Yu Haoran, they heard a deafening roar from the treasury.
"This is bad!" Lan Rong thought to himself and quickly increased his speed.
However, when they arrived in front of the treasury, they discovered that Yu Haoran, who had transformed into a Large Power King Kong Ape, was brandishing his purple rod and smashing it into the treasury.
At this moment, looking at the treasury that had been more than half destroyed, Lan Rong and the others immediately revealed expressions of regret.
If they had known that the result would be like this, they would have accepted Prince Consort's suggestion from the start. This way, they would be able to obtain substantial benefits and also share some of the responsibility for him.

Following the collapse of the last wall, the Four Symbols Sect's treasury that had been erected for ten thousand years was completely turned into a pile of ruins.
After dispersing the Large Power King Kong Ape transformation, Yu Haoran, who had returned to the ruins of the treasury, did not stop moving.
First, he took out the pill furnace from his storage ring, then used his elemental energy to drive the pill furnace's fire, directly refining the ruined treasury into a pile of ashes.
Looking at the ashes of the treasury, Lan Rong immediately recalled Yu Haoran's words before he'd begun his assault. He wouldn't even leave a strand of hair for the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Rites.
Withdrawing the pill furnace's fire, Yu Haoran cast a dissatisfied glance at Lan Rong and the others, then soared into the air and returned to the square of the sect head's peak.
He scanned the entire square and finally spotted Qin Thirteen at the edge of the square, wielding an azure spear.
Noticing Yu Haoran's gaze, Qin Thirteen couldn't help but secretly pray that Yu Haoran wouldn't walk toward him and expose his identity. Otherwise, he would have no choice but to leave the army of the north and switch to a new mission.
Unfortunately, his prayers weren't answered.
Because Yu Haoran, who'd discovered him, was already walking toward him.
"Prince Consort!" Qin Thirteen shook his head and called out with a wry smile, stabbing his spear into the hard ground.
Although he knew that his current actions were inappropriate and would certainly expose Qin Thirteen's true identity, he was in a bad mood and ignored Qin Thirteen's wry smile.
