Chapter 119: Sweeping Through the Nine Cities of Taiyan

  After seeing the five skulls clearly, everyone felt a chill run from the tailbone straight up to the top of their heads, as if they had fallen into an icy cave.

  Blood suddenly stopped, whole body icy cold!

  The originally bustling Qi Manor was now frozen in atmosphere, with a sudden drop in temperature to below zero degrees, not even the sound of breathing could be heard, it was as if time had stopped, the autumn wind whistled eerily, sending shivers down one's spine.

  He's dead.

  The heads of the five major families have all been killed!

  The crowd was struck as if by lightning, shocked into speechlessness.

  They couldn't believe their eyes, the arrogant Master Qi's face was pale with fear, his eyes wide open, his mouth agape as if he had forgotten how to close it, and his trembling hands couldn't hold onto the wine cup. The wine cup fell onto the table, spilling wine all over the floor.

  How did this happen!

  The crowd seemed to be throttled by an invisible giant hand and hurled from heaven to hell.

  "Aren't you guys supposed to be invincible in Taiyan City? Let me take a look at this invincibility. To tell you the truth, the three evil cultivators from Zhushan Sect are also dead, their strength is not even worth my attention." Su Zhen said calmly, revealing a piece of news that made everyone's morale plummet.

  Not only did the five big families fall, but their backing mountains also fell...

  The sky has fallen!

  The crowd suddenly became like sheep that had been skinned, or a family's dog that had lost its master, kneeling on the ground and frantically kowtowing to beg for mercy, with tears streaming down their faces. Some of the more timid ones were so frightened that they shat and urinated at the same time, filling the Qi manor with a foul stench.

  "If you don't pull out the weeds by their roots, they will grow again with the spring breeze. You are destined to die, so it's better to stand up and die with some dignity." Su Zhen's eyes were cold and indifferent.

  "Spare my life! Spare my life!"

  "Tai Yanjiu's nine cities, everything was done by my father, has nothing to do with me. I have always respected the Wanxiang Sect, please understand, Su Huizhang! That old thing deserved to die, I am innocent!" The direct descendants of the five major families betrayed even their own fathers for the sake of survival.

  "Suit yourselves."

  Su Zhen showed no mercy, and a thick True Qi suddenly burst out, condensing into dozens of large hands in the air, which slapped down towards the ground with a loud bang, turning all the direct descendants of the five families into bloody mist, leaving no corpses behind. For a moment, the wails and screams ceased, and the Qi Manor was filled with blood and gore.

  After beating them to death, Su Zhen cast his gaze towards the family slaves, and anyone who caught his eye would be so scared that they would pee directly.

  But Su Zhen didn't continue to make a move.

  "They are the legitimate ones, raising a tiger will eventually lead to disaster, and they must be killed. As for you, at most you are accessories, not necessarily dead. I reward and punish clearly, from now on you gather in the backyard, I will examine one by one, who is guilty and who is innocent, no one can escape." Su Zhen ordered: "Also tell me, where is the transmission array method?"

  Wanxiang Zong has jurisdiction over Longyuan Province and has set up hundreds of transmission arrays for communication at all times.

  Tai Yanjiu's transmission array was originally in the old courtyard, but later it became a nominal existence and Qi Haisheng conspired with a fellow disciple to move the array to the Qi manor, making it a private possession.

  "I know, I'll take Director Su there!" An old man from the Qi Prefecture, intentionally showing his loyalty, hastened to volunteer himself before it was too late.

  "Lead the way."

  Under the leadership of Old Man Qifu, Su Zhen soon discovered a two-meter-diameter, radiant original formation in a secret room. Controlling the formation's stone pillars, he sent a message to Wanxiang Sect. The content was roughly that the poisonous tumor of Taiyan Nine Cities had been eradicated and more manpower was needed to take over.

  Su Zhen is a strong individual, as a sharp blade, taking down the high-level poison and evil, but taking over the entire Tai Yan Nine City is impossible.

  Divided attention is insufficient; must ask someone for help.

  After sending the message, there was a quick response, which was from Yemian Tian.

  Yemian Tian first offered a few words of congratulations, then promised to send someone over as soon as possible. As for Anzun's news, he also mentioned it in passing, saying that Anzun was in seclusion and couldn't leave for the time being; if Taoyan Jiucheng had any needs, they could contact him directly.

  Up to now, all core issues of Taiyanjiu City have been fully resolved, only small fry and minor problems remain, the overall situation has been settled.

  ……

  ……

  It's still twenty days before Wanxiang Zongpai people arrive, and Su Zhen takes advantage of this time to deal with the remaining waves.

  The news of the downfall of the five major families spread like a massive earthquake in Taiyan City, and some business houses that had colluded with them were so afraid of being implicated that they packed up their belongings overnight and fled to Haihuang City in Yanyun Province.

  At one time, Tai Yanjiu's nine city business fled in a hurry, everyone was in danger, and the whole city was in turmoil.

  As the small fry ran away, Su Zhen intentionally suppressed them, but his divided attention was insufficient, and he could only focus on stabilizing Lihuo City for now.

  These days Su Zhen was sleepless day and night, and only after using thunderous means to destroy a small merchant family did he suppress the rumors of chaos in Lihuo City.

  "When I first took command, I had to make a big splash. But this splash was about capturing the nine cities of Taiyan and creating huge profits for the Holy King's party, not just crippling the local tyrants of Taiyan. Although the five major families have monopolized it, the commercial system they established is indeed efficient. What I need to do now is take over this system, let it continue to operate, and then slowly replace people from the Holy King's party with my own."

  With this in mind, Su Zhen issued a series of decrees.

  Firstly, pardon all small businesses.

  It is decreed that all small businesses in the nine cities of Fantaiyan, regardless of whether they have colluded with the Five Great Families or not, will be forgiven from this day forward!

  Then there is the medium-sized business.

  Provisions stipulate that all medium-sized businesses that actively declare errors and make up for tax payments shall be given lenient treatment!

  It was a ruthless extermination order.

  It is decreed that anyone who, after the downfall of the Five Great Families, still refuses to surrender and attempts to flee or transfer their ill-gotten gains in resistance against the Wanxiang Sect, will be put to death along with their entire clan!

  The sweet jujube plus big stick policy, instantly made the city of Lihuo much more stable. Moreover, many small and medium-sized businesses voluntarily surrendered, confessed their mistakes, paid back taxes, and vowed to obey the orders of the Wanxiang Sect. Su Zhen also kept his promise, exempting all small businesses from punishment, dealing leniently with medium-sized businesses, allowing Lihuo City to slowly recover its vitality.

  Immediately afterwards, with the same decree, they went separately to Moon Tooth City, White Jade City, Purple Crystal City and other eight cities, implementing it once.

  Taiyinjiu City gradually stabilized.

  "Ah!" In the Qi Fu mansion, Su Zhen finished annotating the last document and instructed someone to pass it on. After that, she let out a long breath and pinched her Yintang acupoint to rest.

  After fifteen days, the situation has finally stabilized!

  Su Zhen felt extremely exhausted, more so than after a month of intense martial arts training: "No wonder An Zun said that managing the Holy King's Party is a huge grind. Just this small Tai Yan Jiu Cheng has left me exhausted like this, what kind of tempering can the Holy King's Party provide for one's state of mind? When practicing martial arts, one must first cultivate bravery; when cultivating the Tao, one must first cultivate the heart. No wonder the founding ancestor had already reached the pinnacle of martial arts and still wanted to establish a nation, because building a country is an extremely great cultivation. It's many times more effective than closed-door meditation! Similarly, the original intention of the Undying Emperor in creating the Ancient Heavenly Court was to use the court to cultivate himself, reach the peak, and break through the limits."

  A closed fist cannot distinguish between family members.

  Why is it that many masters, despite their strong abilities, end up walking into darkness and losing themselves?

  It's just because their mentality is not up to par!

  Cultivation is a path fraught with difficulties, and the test of one's state of mind is equally severe. If a cultivator reaches the peak of spiritual spring but their state of mind remains at the pre-heavenly level, they will be unable to control their qigong, go mad, and die from exploding their body. It's just like an adult with the intelligence of a child, becoming an idiot or fool.

  Although these days have not been practicing, Su Zhen has gained a lot.

  "Tomorrow, start searching for stolen goods."
