Chapter 91: Xia Xuan Made a Move
Translator: Daoist6fubtiW
On his way to Qingzhou, Xia Xuan took action as well.
Under Xia Xuanâs 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
âThe Emperor says the matter in Peach Blossom County is forgiven.â 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.
âYe Family⊠is finished.â
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 didnât 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.
âSurround this place! Not even a mosquito can fly out today!â Ma Guan ordered with a wave of his hand.
âYes!â Tens of thousands of third-grade or higher Imperial Guards quickly rushed out, surrounding the Wang Familyâs estate in an instant.
Within the Wang Familyâs estate, the sense of Heavenly Realm existence felt that something was amiss and immediately rushed out.
âWhat does General Ma mean?â Wang Yuehai, carrying the might of his Heavenly Realm existence, appeared and stood before everyone.
âWhat does it mean?â Ma Guan sneered, âThe Wang Family colluded with heretical cults, slaughtered countless commoners, their sins deserve death!â
With the last word falling. Ma Guan thrust out a spear. carrying the intent of
the wind, directly aimed at Wang Yuehaiâs 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.
âAttack, spare no one from the Wang Family!â
âHow dare you! You⊠arenât you afraid of my Wang Familyâs Ancestor seeking vengeance?â Wang Yuehai flew out of the deep pit, coughing up blood. He couldnât afford not to stop Ma Guan. Otherwise, the Wang Family would truly be eradicated. The Ancestor had only recently left and wasnât in the clan now.
No one could stop the Imperial Guards.
âAncestor?â
âCome and see if this is your familyâs Ancestor.â
Ma Guan clapped his hands, and someone carried out a body.
Lifting the white cloth, Wang Qianliâs body was exposed to the air.
Wang Yuehaiâs body staggered, as if waking from a dream.
âAttacking the Great Xia Sword Immortal, deserves death, the Wang Family even more so!â
âKill!
As Ma Guanâs last word fell, the Imperial Guards didnât hesitate for a moment, surrounding the Wang Family and rushing inside.
Under Ma Guanâs attacks, Wang Yuehai also became crippled.
In less than an hour.
The royal Wang Family of the capital city was annihilated!
Ma Guan wasnât 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
CaveâŠ
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.
ButâŠ
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 wasnât enough; there were formations and various secret techniques.
They were about to die. Even if they werenât killed by Su Yang, they wouldnât 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 Jingâs 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 hadnât 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 wasnât 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 Qingzhouâs 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 couldnât 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 Yangâs eyes.
In a world where transcendent strength reigned supreme, eradicating an area was this straightforward.
Much simpler than in an ordinary world.
In Su Yangâs view, even if all the most formidable weapons from his previous life had exploded, they wouldnât 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 werenât 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 wouldnât have survived for long.
Su Yang had spoken to Xia Xuan and knew that the amount of food the court released wouldnât 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 wouldnât, and couldnât.
What Su Yang saw below made him feel indignant, but he didnât 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 didnât 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, âWho is so ignorant of the rules?â
A figure in a gray robe appeared in midair. This person was none other than Zhu Shouwu, the leader of the provincial capitalâs 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, âZhu Shouwu, leader of the Martial Enforcement Division of the Qingzhou provincial capital, greets the Watcher of Heaven!â
Although Zhu Shouwuâs voice wasnât particularly loud, it resounded throughout the entire city.
Watcher of Heaven?
What position was that? Why hadnât 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.
âHmm, go to the Inspection Division..â
