clenched into a crimson red, as if he was about to explode at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Will you not take it?” Hu Zhen coldly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior… I only need… one… order…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, with a slight exertion of force by Hu Zhen, Wang Zhi, the County Magistrate of Shilong County in Peach Blossom County of Song State, burst open like a watermelon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding government officials and county magistrates were all shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The County Magistrate is dead!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A government official exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some, with their faces smeared with red and white, screamed in terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Silence!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hu Zhen’s expression became severe, and with a flick of his finger, icy blue Starlight exploded in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, fifty government officials and the county magistrate were shattered into pieces by the icy blue Starlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After slaughtering this group, Hu Zhen’s figure flashed, heading straight for the Shilong County Government Office!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the way, anyone screaming or howling was simply flicked by his hand, instantly blasted to death; along the way, he killed hundreds, finally arriving at the county government!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing an elder who looked like a consultant, he grabbed him and demanded, “Where is the county magistrate?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within a county, typically only the County Magistrate and the County Magistrate have free access to the secret archives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The County Magistrate just went out with the County Magistrate!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The consultant stuttered in reply, causing a sudden flare of anger in Hu Zhen’s heart, as he suddenly remembered another Fourth Tier Star Condensing Realm man by the County Magistrate’s side, who was also killed by him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both the County Magistrate and the County Magistrate had been blasted by him; there was no way to obtain the secret archives through regular channels now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon this realization, Hu Zhen became even more furious!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you know where the secret archives are?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the consultant said he didn’t know, Hu Zhen immediately burst him open!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One unknowing answer, and he would question another!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the county government, Hu Zhen interrogated one government official after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone who couldn’t answer was instantly burst open!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a few moments, a thin layer of plasma had already covered the interior of the entire county government, all spilled by Hu Zhen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after he had burst open the County Magistrate’s wife and children in the backyard did he realize that there was no one left alive in the entire county government.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, he still hadn’t obtained the information he sought!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This reignited the fury in Hu Zhen’s heart!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, he must find out the origin of the Vortex Star Gate outside the city, and then send people to avenge his son’s blood feud!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That Star Gate would be accessible before it was sealed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But without knowing its origin, they couldn’t build a return Star Gate on this side of the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sending one or two Sixth Tier cultivators in with the promise of great rewards was feasible, but sending ten or twenty would be impossible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to find out the origin in order to establish a return Star Gate and then send a large number of Sixth Tier experts to take revenge for his son!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire Shilong County was already in chaos due to his actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cries, screams, curses, and shouts mixed into one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Hu Zhen’s anger intensify!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, Hu Zhen’s voice, like that of a Heavenly God, resonated throughout the entire city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A giant hand made of Starlight pointed to the Vortex Star Gate suspended mid-air outside the city, and Hu Zhen’s imposing voice roared, “That Star Gate outside the city, whoever knows its origin, tell me immediately!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If no one knows, in five breaths, I will start slaughtering the city!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The word “slaughtering” came out lightly from Hu Zhen’s mouth as if it carried no weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was a small county town where ninety-nine percent were ordinary citizens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The citizens of the small county, who had never experienced such a spectacle,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>were not like cultivators who could be deterred by his mere presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, it triggered their fears!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frightened, the crying from women and children rose to the heavens, directly reigniting Hu Zhen’s rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fools, since you wish to die, I will grant your wish!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, Hu Zhen’s hands gently rotated, and in a moment, countless Starlights gathered above Shilong County.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoever can tell the origin of the Star Gate outside the city will live!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he roared this sentence, Hu Zhen pushed his hands forward instantly, and ice rain began to fall above Shilong County.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More precisely, it was an extremely large range of the Ice Rain Skill!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even a simple Ice Rain Skill, when unleashed by an Eighth Tier expert like Hu Zhen, became immensely terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below the city of Shilong County, it rained ice spears as if natural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each ice spear, landing on anyone, was akin to being bombarded by powerful crossbow bolts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Limbs were pierced, and some were even blasted apart!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sounds of arrows hitting and the screams mingled together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless ordinary citizens died under the barrage of the Ice Rain Skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the sky, the Ice Rain Skill continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst their panic, the ordinary citizens found ways to hide in rooms and under buildings to avoid the lethal ice arrows!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the sky, Hu Zhen, like a god, looked down at the more than a hundred thousand citizens scurrying around, watching these ignorant men flee in panic, yet no one answered or even considered his question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His anger grew even more!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If that is so, then all of you go die!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, with a thought from Hu Zhen, countless Starlight fell from the sky, instantly doubling the might of the wide-range Ice Rain Skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shooting sounds like rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, buildings in the town collapsed under the continuous bombardment of ice rain, some even being penetrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some were trapped by the collapsed buildings, some just escaped from collapsed structures, only to not escape the ice rain raining down from the sky, and were instantly killed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a few seconds, Shilong County turned into a living hell!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, my son is lonely on his way; you will go and keep him company, making perfect servants to my son!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1054,"2026-06-03T07:36:03.462Z",1,"novelbin.me","cce199df0e98dd5990c6d9eb3985d915430751bbec40e020f74ff05acf38d294","star-martial-era-the-way-of-star-light-cultivati-chapter-555","star-martial-era-the-way-of-star-light-cultivati-chapter-553",1647,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstar-martial-era-the-way-of-star-light-cultivati-cover.jpg"]
