"Three major forces of Guhua City, get out here!" Qi Xiong's voice thundered as he merged with Yuan Tuo's team, forcefully descending upon Guhua City. Hundreds of law enforcement experts and terrifying warships hovered ominously over the city, casting a shadow that darkened the skies. A dreadful aura pressed down, sending chills down everyone's spine. The roar echoed like thunder, crazily reverberating through Guhua City, reaching every ear.

Inside Guhua City, all the powerful cultivators fled in panic, horrified at the sight of the terrifying warships and the dense crowd of strong experts. Each member of the Law Enforcement Hall donned black battle armor, intricately adorned with dragons and phoenixes, radiating a terrifying murderous intent that sent shivers down their spines.

So oppressive!

Though Guhua City was not an extraordinary power, it was home to three imperial-level forces, making it a top power within a hundred thousand miles. Yet now, the two branch masters of the Law Enforcement Hall stood arrogantly over Guhua City, their disdainful glares commanding the three major forces to roll out, treating Guhua City with contempt. This was infuriating, igniting a fire of rage in their hearts.

While the people of Guhua City did not favor the three major forces, it was still their home. Being so contemptuously disregarded stirred deep resentment within them.

What angered them further was the attitude of the three major forces.

"Everyone from the Law Enforcement Hall, calm down!" A fearful voice rang out as the ancestors of the three major forces appeared, soaring into the sky. Each led their respective strong followers as they met the opposing forces in mid-air, trembling as if they were mere servants.

"Shi Zhong!"

"Cai Ling!"

"Zhang Gu!"

"Greetings to the two branch masters and the experts of the Law Enforcement Hall."

The ancestors of the three major forces displayed humility, trembling like subordinates bowing before a king, shaking as they paid their respects. This only fueled the anger of Guhua City's citizens; their faces burned as if they had been slapped.

These three were the ancestors of their respective major forces, experts of Nineth Level Martial God caliber, yet now they acted like three dogs barking at their master, a sight that was shameful and unbearable to witness.

Although the Law Enforcement Hall was powerful, the lack of backbone among these three was infuriating.

"I must ask you three, how did my disciple Ba Leng die? He came to Guhua City to negotiate with your families, yet met his demise here. What is the reason?" Qi Xiong shouted angrily, stepping forward, his murderous intent suffocating.

The Martial Emperor experts from the three great families felt a piercing aura surge toward them, and as their bodies trembled, they spat out a mouthful of blood, their faces turning pale.

Shi Zhong and the others were also shaken by this aura, hurriedly responding in fear, "Branch Master Qi, this matter was instigated by people from the Xuanyuan Empire. Though it does not concern us, it was our mishandling that led to the demise of your disciple in Guhua City. We are guilty. Shi Liang, come here."

Shi Zhong's voice rang out with authority.

Shi Liang trembled as he approached, fear etched on his face, "Ancestor!"

"Pfft!"

A cruel glint flashed in Shi Zhong’s eyes as he raised his hand, a deadly light swiftly sweeping across Shi Liang's neck. Shi Liang, in terror, clutched his throat, gazing fearfully at his ancestor as blood gushed from his fingers, instantly killing him.

"Branch Master Qi, this matter is related to my Shi family's Shi Liang. Though he is my great-grandson, he was present at the scene and failed to stop the killer, leading to the fall of your disciple. His crime is unforgivable. I will take his head and offer it as tribute to your disciple, to show my Shi family's loyalty."

Shi Zhong spoke each word coldly, devoid of any emotion.

Hiss!

The onlookers gasped; Shi Zhong was too ruthless.

To quell Qi Xiong's fury, Shi Zhong actually killed his own family member on the spot. Such a method was excessively cruel.
