Xu Wendong wore a harmless smile.
Du Nanqiu, Pei Yuanlang, Liu Zhengtong, and Wang Jincheng all felt their scalps tingle.
If they had known the boy was this terrifyingly powerful.
They would never have dared to oppose Xu Wendong.
"You, Xu, haven’t won yet!"
Du Nanqiu roared, Soul Force howling out, transforming into a sharp Longsword.
The Longsword vanished instantly.
Xu Wendong was indeed strong, but his Soul Force paled in comparison to a Great Ascension Latter Stage powerhouse.
He vanished into thin air.
Dodging Du Nanqiu’s lethal strike, then appeared behind Du Nanqiu, pointed a finger across the air: "Die!"
The Sword of rit silently pierced through Du Nanqiu’s head, causing his soul to disperse and his body to fall heavily below.
Before he hit the ground, a vine shot up, penetrating his body, crazily devouring his Life Force.
At the mont the Sword of rit pierced Du Nanqiu’s head, Xu Wendong clearly saw the Sword of rit change once more.
It was almost corporeal; if not for a careful look, one would not notice anything unusual.
"Lord Xu, we know we were wrong, please, for the sake of our camaraderie, show rcy, grant us a way out!" Liu Zhengtong, face ashen, knelt in mid-air repeatedly kowtowing.
Wang Jincheng did the sa, trembling all over.
Xu Wendong’s gaze was fierce: "You two, as Imperial Court officials, knowingly broke the law, colluding with nobles, murdering court officials; if I don’t kill you, how can I face the Monarch? How can I face the commoners?"
"How can I face those court officials who died by your hands?"
"You deserve to die even more than they do!"
His voice was like thunder, echoing across the sky.
Before the sound faded.
Blood erupted from the foreheads of Wang Jincheng and Liu Zhengtong, both instantly killed by the Sword of rit.
And at that mont.
The Sword of rit fully manifested into a physical form.
Although it looked only about ten centiters long, it radiated a faint golden light and a powerful aura.
Xu Wendong looked at Pei Yuanlang and smiled slightly: "Chief Pei, it’s ti for you to be on your way!"
Pei Yuanlang snapped out of his shock, saying, "Lord Xu, I am under the Seventh Prince."
Xu Wendong frowned slightly.
He had heard of a Seventh Prince in the Blackwater Kingdom, whose fief was next to Puyang City in Carefree City.
However.
He never thought Pei Yuanlang would be one of the Seventh Prince’s n.
But upon reconsideration, it made sense.
If a power like Carefree City didn’t have so influential figure supporting it behind the scenes, it wouldn’t have its current scale.
Despite the place being a mix of all sorts, it generated benefits unrivaled by other places.
After his surprise, Xu Wendong asked indifferently: "What do you want to say?"
Pei Yuanlang replied with a forced smile: "What I, Pei, have done was all under the Seventh Prince’s command; if Lord Xu kills , it might provoke his displeasure!"
A cold gleam flashed in Xu Wendong’s eyes: "Are you threatening ?"
"This commoner wouldn’t dare!" Pei Yuanlang said, "This commoner is rely stating a fact; after all, he is a royal Prince, can you contend with him?" At this, he showed a subtle, intriguing smile.
Xu Wendong gazed heavenward, sensibly sighing: "Worldly power is like drifting clouds, calm before life and death."
"Only the common people wander painfully, their hearts tethered by hunger and cold."
"Royal power sits high and mighty, yet I act as I please, laughing at the sky."
"Unafraid of death, I forge ahead, only worried that the people’s suffering is endless."
"In the precarious world of commoners, the landscape plagued by hunger and cold."
"I wish for the welfare of all under heaven, to vanquish hardship and sorrow."
"When all glitz fades, true purity erges; the people’s happiness is my heart."
"Unafraid of royal power, unafraid of death, I only wish for universal peace."
His plain voice resonated through the heavens.
Though his voice was mild.
It made Pei Yuanlang’s scalp tingle, a thick goose bump erging on his body.
He looked at Xu Wendong in astonishnt, never expecting the young man to speak such brazen words.
For the people.
He dared to challenge royal power.
What kind of courage is this!
"Chief Pei, you may now depart!" Xu Wendong’s voice rang again, and in the next mont, the Sword of rit pierced Pei Yuanlang’s forehead, triggering a thick blood mist.
At this.
All the powerhouses of the noble clans in Carefree City were slain by Xu Wendong, not one survived.
The Sword of rit in Xu Wendong’s hands also radiated a brilliant golden light, exuding a sacred glow.
"It’s done!"
Xu Wendong promptly gathered up all their storage treasures and then vanished over the Inner Sea.
By the shore.
Chu Ye and Zhang Yunxiao were anxiously waiting, they both knew what it ant when Xu Wendong followed the crowd into the Inner Sea.
Uncertain if he would return safely from this trip.
When they saw him walking across the air in a white robe, their hanging hearts finally settled.
However.
Their minds couldn’t be at ease.
They knew that once in the Inner Sea, Xu Wendong’s power would revert to its original state, and even with the County Seal, he couldn’t possibly defeat the strong of the Three Great Clans.
And now, he returned safe and sound.
How could they not be shocked?
Clearly.
Even without the County Seal’s support, Xu Wendong feared no Great Ascension Period powerhouse!
This is really unbelievable.
After all, Xu Wendong was only in the Body Integration Realm.
A Body Integration Realm cultivator who could instantly kill a large group of experts, even Great Ascension Stage masters, who could bear with that?
"Poof!"
Xu Wendong landed and spat a mouthful of blood, weakly saying: "The Three Great Clans, twelve families collaborated to besiege, now they have all been slain by this official!"
"Furthermore, Liu Zhengtong and Wang Jincheng colluded with rchants and were also executed by this official on the spot!"
"County Commander Zhang, I order you to seal off the Three Great Clans and the twelve families, and execute them all!"
"Do not spare the families of Liu Zhengtong and Wang Jincheng either."
Zhang Yunxiao perked up and quickly replied: "This subordinate obeys!"
Xu Wendong looked at Chu Ye: "Chief Registrar Chu, you are to draft a public notice to inform the people of Carefree City about today’s events, and report to the Monarch!"
Chu Ye snapped out of shock: "This subordinate obeys!"
"Let’s head back to the city first!" said Xu Wendong weakly, then he stepped onto the Teleportation Array and instantly returned to Carefree City.
Upon returning to the Governnt Office, Chu Ye couldn’t help but ask: "Are you alright?"
Xu Wendong raised an eyebrow: "Do you hope I am alright or want to be in trouble?"
Chu Ye huffed angrily: "Of course, I hope you die!" Then disappeared angrily from Xu Wendong’s sight.
Though Xu Wendong appeared weak, she knew he was perfectly fine, otherwise, he wouldn’t be teasing her at this ti.
After Chu Ye left, Xu Wendong returned to his room, then took out the collected storage treasures, opening them with anticipation like unwrapping blind boxes.
"I wonder if there are any treasures in here!"
