Chapter 91: Xia Xuan Made a Move
Translator: Daoist6fubtiW
On his way to Qingzhou, Xia Xuan took action as well.
Under Xia Xuan’s command, the Imperial Guards brought out bodies from the deep palace.
They were sent to the families these bodies belonged to.
At the same time, the leader of the Imperial Guards, Ma Guan, brought different messages to each family.
As for what message he brought, it depended on the wrongdoings of those families.
Ye Family
“The Emperor says the matter in Peach Blossom County is forgiven.” Ma Guan placed the body down and left before the Ye Family could comprehend what had happened.
The head of the Ye Family knew what they had done in Peach Blossom County.
But what did the other side mean?
He stepped forward and opened the white cloth. When he saw the body inside, he slumped to the ground.
“Ye Family… is finished.”
The Ye Family had offended quite a number of people to reach this point.
Now that the Ancestor had tragically died, if their opponents found out, would they spare them?
Wang Family
When Ma Guan arrived, he didn’t show much politeness.
Tens of thousands of Imperial Guards arrived with disciplined steps.
The collision of armor emitted a sound of metal and gold clashing.
“Surround this place! Not even a mosquito can fly out today!” Ma Guan ordered with a wave of his hand.
“Yes!” Tens of thousands of third-grade or higher Imperial Guards quickly rushed out, surrounding the Wang Family’s estate in an instant.
Within the Wang Family’s estate, the sense of Heavenly Realm existence felt that something was amiss and immediately rushed out.
“What does General Ma mean?” Wang Yuehai, carrying the might of his Heavenly Realm existence, appeared and stood before everyone.
“What does it mean?” Ma Guan sneered, “The Wang Family colluded with heretical cults, slaughtered countless commoners, their sins deserve death!”
With the last word falling. Ma Guan thrust out a spear. carrying the intent of
the wind, directly aimed at Wang Yuehai’s face.
What could Wang Yuehai, who was merely in the Heavenly Realm, do to withstand the power of Ma Guan in the Heaven Transformation Realm?
With just one move, even though Wang Yuehai tried to resist, he was still sent flying by the spear, crashing into the ground and leaving a deep pit.
“Attack, spare no one from the Wang Family!”
“How dare you! You… aren’t you afraid of my Wang Family’s Ancestor seeking vengeance?” Wang Yuehai flew out of the deep pit, coughing up blood. He couldn’t afford not to stop Ma Guan. Otherwise, the Wang Family would truly be eradicated. The Ancestor had only recently left and wasn’t in the clan now.
No one could stop the Imperial Guards.
“Ancestor?”
“Come and see if this is your family’s Ancestor.”
Ma Guan clapped his hands, and someone carried out a body.
Lifting the white cloth, Wang Qianli’s body was exposed to the air.
Wang Yuehai’s body staggered, as if waking from a dream.
“Attacking the Great Xia Sword Immortal, deserves death, the Wang Family even more so!”
“Kill!
As Ma Guan’s last word fell, the Imperial Guards didn’t hesitate for a moment, surrounding the Wang Family and rushing inside.
Under Ma Guan’s attacks, Wang Yuehai also became crippled.
In less than an hour.
The royal Wang Family of the capital city was annihilated!
Ma Guan wasn’t the only one acting; other Imperial Guards were carrying bodies and sending them to various families.
In less than a day, an eerie atmosphere blanketed the entire capital city.
An eerily quiet atmosphere.
In a single day, the events that unfolded were dreamlike, leaving all the top-tier families and powers speechless. The authenticity of the events needed no doubt.
The bodies were right there.
They also knew the cause of the events.
Now, they could only be grateful they had been a step behind!
Linglong Pavilion, Baibao Building, Tianji Sect, Wuyuan Valley, Xuanbing
Cave…
These top powers that had learned of the news a step late all breathed a sigh of relief.
The previous lamentation, regret, all turned into gratitude.
But…
Was it really over like this?
Some entities were destined not to give up easily. Those who died from natural catastrophes were at most those in the later stages.
Such a situation only attracted the attention of some ancient creatures that had lived for hundreds of years.
Pure strength alone wasn’t enough; there were formations and various secret techniques.
They were about to die. Even if they weren’t killed by Su Yang, they wouldn’t live much longer.
If the royal family had a stable way to break through to Martial Saint, they would dare to charge into the imperial palace.
Not to mention that Su Yang was just one person.
Breaking through to Martial Saint was the only way they could continue to survive!
King Jing’s Residence
When King Jing learned of the news that shook the entire capital city, he trembled all over.
He had been considering how to deal with Su Yang.
Now, he just wanted to slap himself twice.
On his way to Qingzhou, Su Yang felt the fluctuations of sentient beings constantly.
He hadn’t done anything significant, so it was likely the aftermath caused by killing the twelve Heaven Transformation Realm experts.
It seemed that Xia Xuan had taken action.
Well, it was not bad. At least he wasn’t disappointed.
The flying boat continued to move forward, with Gu Xiu sitting at the front like a coachman, urging it onward.
Inside the flying boat, Su Yang wielded his sword while the Thunder Mark Deer lay quietly.
About three hours passed.
Departing from the Spirit Mountain Prefecture, the flying boat consecutively crossed the territories of three continents and finally arrived at Qingzhou.
Upon entering the boundaries of Qingzhou, a sense of extreme dryness was felt by Su Yang on the flying boat.
Beneath such an extreme dryness lay destruction.
After entering Qingzhou’s boundaries, the speed of the flying boat slightly slowed down. Su Yang observed the situation below from the flying boat.
Wherever the flying boat passed, the earth cracked, and vitality ceased. The area below at this moment appeared to be a continuous range of mountains.
However, even these tens of thousands of miles of mountains were devoid of
any greenery.
Only some withered trees lay collapsed on the bare mountains.
Even the sense of sword intent couldn’t perceive any living creatures.
Complete silence prevailed, with only countless animal bones speaking of what this place had once been.
This apocalyptic scene unfolded vividly before Su Yang’s eyes.
In a world where transcendent strength reigned supreme, eradicating an area was this straightforward.
Much simpler than in an ordinary world.
In Su Yang’s view, even if all the most formidable weapons from his previous life had exploded, they wouldn’t cause any catastrophic impact on the planet.
But the cultivators in this world could.
Continuing on the journey, more villages appeared in his line of sight.
Deserted villages with no signs of life.
Continuing onward, as he entered the area of human activity, Su Yang saw more people beneath the calamity.
They were no different from the starved animals. Along the way, human bones started to appear.
The numbers weren’t large, but they were just as emaciated as the animal bones, dying of hunger.
Continuing further, he reached a larger county seat.
Here, he finally saw living people.
Within the city, officials were distributing rations to the citizens, allowing them a way to survive.
However, the porridge was overly thin, with just a small amount of softened rice at the bottom of the bowl.
Barely enough to sustain the citizens.
Throughout his journey, he almost never saw a water source.
Observing in the county seat, Su Yang noticed that the water source was obtained by some martial powerhouses who had tapped into underground rivers deep beneath the earth.
It was extremely deep, so only Martial Grandmasters could accomplish it.
Thankfully, there was a water source, or even if there was food, the people of a whole province wouldn’t have survived for long.
Su Yang had spoken to Xia Xuan and knew that the amount of food the court released wouldn’t be this scarce.
While it might not be enough to feed the people of Qingzhou, it should at least be regular gruel.
Unless Xia Xuan was deceiving him.
But Xia Xuan wouldn’t, and couldn’t.
What Su Yang saw below made him feel indignant, but he didn’t linger.
He needed to go to the source of the problem; he needed to save not just one county.
The flying boat silently accelerated slightly, heading toward the provincial capital.
Su Yang didn’t hide his presence, letting Gu Xiu pilot the flying boat directly into the sky above the provincial capital.
When the flying boat appeared, a powerful presence within the provincial capital shouted, “Who is so ignorant of the rules?”
A figure in a gray robe appeared in midair. This person was none other than Zhu Shouwu, the leader of the provincial capital’s Martial Enforcement Division.
Gu Xiu retracted the flying boat, and simultaneously, a token flew to Zhu
Shouwu and hung in the air before him.
[Watcher of Heaven]
Seeing the inscription on it, Zhu Shouwu trembled and respectfully saluted, “Zhu Shouwu, leader of the Martial Enforcement Division of the Qingzhou provincial capital, greets the Watcher of Heaven!”
Although Zhu Shouwu’s voice wasn’t particularly loud, it resounded throughout the entire city.
Watcher of Heaven?
What position was that? Why hadn’t they heard of it?
However, the directly-affiliated imperial powers were more informed.
The court still had means of rapidly disseminating news.
After the court assembly ended, officials of the county level and above had already learned of the Great Xia Sword Immortal and of the Watcher of Heaven, not to mention the provincial capital.
“Hmm, go to the Inspection Division..”
