Chapter 171: The Bloodiness of Xianyang City! A Great Purge!

Bang! Bang! Jiang Che, who had just woken up, suddenly sensed a series of dull thuds from afar.

Furthermore, there were constant, powerful releases of energy fluctuations.

That tyrannical power, even from a great distance away, made one feel extremely alarmed! "Good heavens, is this a real battle between the powerhouses of Xianyang City?!"

After sensing the commotion in the Imperial Capital, Jiang Che used his Holographic Perspective to check what was happening.

With the improvement of his strength, Jiang Che's Holographic Perspective had long since expanded significantly, now reaching a range of several dozen miles! It was precisely because of this that Jiang Che had been able to sense the Demon Race reinforcements during the previous chaotic battle at the border and intercept them halfway.

At this moment, in Jiang Che's full-view perspective, the battlefield in the Imperial Capital was divided into three locations.

One was inside the Great Qin Imperial Palace, where the King of Qin, currently clad in armor, was personally leading his army to encircle and annihilate three people!

Golden spiritual power surrounded the King of Qin's body, and a heaven-shaking imperial pressure radiated from him!

The army beside him was also formidable in strength and strictly disciplined.

After deploying their military formation, they carried an extremely powerful sense of oppression.

The other two battlefields were being handled by two Saint-level powerhouses! They were currently engaged in ruthless slaughter within two luxurious manors inside the Imperial Capital.

For a time, shrill wails were incessant, and blood splashed everywhere.

"You lot, committing treason and attempting to rebel, daring to lay hands on the King—today, I shall execute your entire clan!"

An old man wearing a black robe inside the manor said in a cold voice.

His expression was gloomy and uncertain, his eyes radiating a chilling murderous intent, and the surrounding space seemed as if it were about to freeze!

The wars in Qin were incessant, and the King of Qin, for the sake of Qin, could be said to have been working diligently and tirelessly without complaint.

Yet under such circumstances, there were actually people who harbored thoughts of assassinating the King of Qin; this crime was unforgivable even if they were ground to dust.

This noble family was also an old clan with a long heritage, and its foundation was extremely formidable.

After all, if they were not those with deep-seated qualifications, they would not have dared to easily lay hands on the King of Qin.

Yet even though everyone inside the manor was on high alert, only one person from Qin had come to execute the rebels.

But these many Venerable Rank powerhouses, facing this black-robed old man in the sky, felt only incomparable despair.

Although there was only a one-realm difference between the Saint level and the Venerable Rank, the difference in strength was like heaven and earth, simply an uncrossable chasm! Although the old man had come alone, under his powerful Saint-level pressure, this massive, ancient noble family had not the slightest power to resist.

Facing the chilling murderous intent, ten Venerable Rank powerhouses from the noble family flew into mid-air, wanting to make a final, desperate struggle.

They knew their crimes had been exposed, and only by resisting this Saint-level powerhouse could they have a path to survival.

However, when the black-robed old man saw this, even facing the siege of ten people, he merely let out a cold snort.

Immediately, spiritual power circulated between his palms, and he then slammed them downward; for a moment, the space itself trembled.

A tyrannical palm print was seen descending from the sky, pressing down onto the ground as firmly as a mountain.

The ten Venerable Rank powerhouses' expressions changed drastically upon seeing this; their combined strength was like that of mosquitoes and flies, unable to block a single strike from the old man! Almost instantly, under this tyrannical palm print, the ten Venerable Rank powerhouses were blown to pieces and died.

Even the Spirit Beasts they summoned did not escape this calamity, directly turning into a sky full of blood rain! The clansmen on the ground immediately turned pale with despair.

They had not expected that ten Venerable Rank powerhouses could not withstand a single move from this Saint-level old man! Following this, the black-robed old man's expression remained indifferent as he began his cleanup work.

Without the slightest pity, he cut the weeds and pulled up the roots, leaving no survivors.

The other manor was the same; under the powerful pressure of the Saint-level powerhouse, no one escaped.

They all turned into a sky full of blood rain, and for a time, the large manor was dyed red with blood.

Jiang Che now truly understood what it meant by "the wrath of the Son of Heaven, a million corpses lying in the field"...

In the Imperial Palace, Zhao Chengshou and the head of another rebellious noble family were now surrounded by heavy troops led by the King of Qin.

Both had been summoned into the palace by the King of Qin.

Originally, the King of Qin, mindful of the past contributions of their two families, had intended to give them a chance to explain themselves.

If they had voluntarily admitted their punishment, he had been prepared to leave them a path to survival.

But the two were stubborn and unyielding. They did not intend to admit it, and even wanted to plot against the King of Qin.

Such a suicidal operation made the King of Qin fly into a rage, and he immediately unleashed his tyrannical combat power, personally suppressing the two.

Following this, the King of Qin began a great purge.

Zhao Chengshou had never expected that Jiang Che would be able to see the toxins within the King of Qin's body.

And that he would even purge these toxins that had seeped into the bone marrow.

The King of Qin's move this time was something he had never expected.

What he thought was a flawless plan had long since been seen through.

He had not even had time to make any deployments.

Therefore, those forces that were originally fence-sitters, facing the bloody imperial power, did not dare to get involved at all.

For a time, the sky over Xianyang seemed to be dyed red with blood.

Even the common people sensed a heavy and bloody atmosphere permeating the air...

"I didn't expect that yesterday's incident would cause such great slaughter today..."

The three battlefields ended quickly without any surprises under the absolute suppression of the King of Qin.

Jiang Che also retracted his Holographic Perspective.

"Xiaobai, did you already know about all of this?"

Luo Shuiyan, who was traveling with him, noticed the change in Jiang Che's eyes and asked softly.

"Mm, it just ended..."

Jiang Che nodded and transmitted his voice.

Although Jiang Che himself was quite decisive when killing, and quite fond of the "kill and burn" routine.

But after all, he was still a model youth of the new society, and this was the first time he had witnessed such large-scale slaughter with his own eyes.

The King of Qin treated these rebellious people by executing their nine generations.

All the men, women, old, and young within the noble family manors were all executed.

Among them, many old people and young children looked somewhat innocent.

And because these people all died because of him, for a moment, Jiang Che could not help but feel a sense of the fragility of life.

But it was only for a moment before he recovered his composure.

This is the trend of the times; the crime of treason must be punished severely to eliminate future trouble.

Otherwise, if these roots of disaster are left behind, there is no telling if they will contact other noble families in the future to plot some sinister scheme,

and by then, it might cause even greater chaos.

It could even cause the entire Qin to fall into a chaotic war.

In that case, only more innocent people would die.

"This can also be considered stopping war with war; the death of this small portion of traitors is only to reduce greater casualties for the country."

Luo Shuiyan, for her part, took a very broad view of this.

In her past life, in order to establish the First Central Empire, she herself had also created countless slaughters.

And regarding the outcome of this time, Luo Shuiyan had even less doubt.

Facing the monstrous might of the King of Qin, these people would only be ruthlessly crushed.

After all, in her past life, even when the King of Qin encountered persecution, he was able to lead his remaining forces to a successful counterattack, let alone now when the King of Qin is in his prime; under the awe-inspiring prestige of the King of Qin, many people with ulterior motives simply dare not make a move.

Furthermore, the King of Qin's action this time was very sudden, completely catching the other side off guard, so the suppression of the rebellion was naturally very smooth.
