Chapter 196

was also suppressed and killed on the spot by an expert of the Qinglong Society, dead beyond dead!

Only the State Preceptor Huang Shang.

Because he did not live in the imperial palace, he instead escaped this calamity.

However, he was also severely wounded by an expert dispatched by the Qinglong Society Sect, and vanished without a trace.

Apart from this.

The officials of the Great Song imperial court.

were also silently wiped out—entire families—for a small portion of them on this very night.

Among them.

each one held a position and power of great consequence within the court.

Next was the Great Qing.

If everything in the Great Song imperial court had proceeded in utter silence.

then in the Great Qing, on this night, flames flared on all sides.

The clamor of voices echoed throughout the entire Jingcheng.

Even.

the remaining four Nation-Protecting Enshrined Elders were roused one after another.

Unfortunately.

facing the crushing, overwhelming strength of the Qinglong Society.

of the four Nation-Protecting Enshrined Elders, three died and one was gravely wounded.

And the Emperor Kangxi himself.

was even more wretched.

He was directly cut down on the spot into a human pig.

His death was utterly miserable.

Not only he.

even all his children and consorts.

were slaughtered to the last one!

Moreover, even the court ministers—apart from those who were already hidden agents of the Qinglong Society.

the rest met no exception, every last family exterminated.

For a time.

corpses lay strewn across the land, blood flowing like rivers.

Even the air was thick with the heavy stench of blood!

As for the Great Sui.

because the Four Great Clans and the Power Gang, these five great powers, were at each other's throats like fire and water.

each wanting to devour the other and dominate the entire Great Sui.

it was basically a small battle every three days and a great battle every five.

With the Qinglong Society adding fuel to the flames.

fierce clashes erupted.

And just as they were locked in an inextricable fight.

the Qinglong Society led the Qinglong Gang to appear.

Not only did they seize the chance to annihilate them.

even the Pudu Cihang and the Cihang Jingzhai, along with the Demon Sect, who arrived late.

were suppressed and killed on the spot by half, fleeing in panic.

Only the Great Han.

had already begun, several days prior, methodically seizing cities.

Until tonight.

it happened to have wiped out the very last of the regional lords.

The entire Great Han was already firmly grasped in hand.

Time slipped swiftly by.

In the blink of an eye.

three days had passed.

As the many martial artists dispersed.

the matter of the duel at the Forbidden Summit.

swept across the entire Nine Provinces continent like a hurricane.

For a time.

it became a topic relished by countless people.

Especially the appearance of the Qinglong Society's Fifth Dragon Head, Li Taibai.

and the news that Sword Saint Ye Gucheng was a member of the Qinglong Society.

Like a heavy bomb.

it stirred up enormous waves in the Nine Provinces jianghu.

Apart from this.

what astonished, thrilled, and delighted the people of the world even more.

It still belonged to Li Taibai swearing the Qinglong Society's domineering and forceful rhetoric.

Among them, although there were a very small number of martial artists who felt somewhat resentful.

But the vast majority.

Still developed an infinite yearning for the Qinglong Society.

Not to mention what the benefits would actually be like after joining.

Just the sense of security conveyed between the lines.

Was enough to make them immensely excited!

After all.

Even the Great Ming Dynasty, one of the Eight Great Imperial Dynasties, could be intimidated after being slapped in the face!

One could imagine.

If one could truly join the Qinglong Society.

Wouldn't one be able to walk sideways on the Nine Provinces' jianghu in the future?

Who would still dare to provoke them without eyes?

Not to mention, the Qinglong Society also had the irresistible temptation of the Master Changsheng cultivation method!

However.

Just as the world had been discussing for less than two days.

News about the Great Han, Great Sui, Great Song, and Great Qing spread throughout the Nine Provinces.

In an instant.

The Nine Provinces shook, and the people were in an uproar!

Even, on the vast majority of people's faces, there was still a thick expression of disbelief!

The fall of Great Qing could still be accepted.

After all.

As the bottom-rung existence among the Eight Great Imperial Dynasties.

Its strength was relatively already weak by more than a notch.

Coupled with its usual slavish style.

Even if it fell, the people did not have too great a reaction.

There were even sounds of clapping and cheering.

On the contrary, the matters of Great Song, Great Sui, and Great Han truly surprised them somewhat.

Among them, Great Song was actually still alright.
