Martial Master

“What? The four major powers: the Leng family, the Wu family, the Guiyuan Sect, and the Wuji Sect secretly attacked the current emperor of the Liuxian Sect, resulting in the complete annihilation of the royal elite?”

“The ancestor of the Leng family, Leng Pogo, and the ancestor of the Wu family, Wu Chengfeng, were killed on the spot, their blood spilling into the sky. The sect master of the Guiyuan Sect, Yue Lengchan, and the sect master of the Wuji Sect are missing, their life or death unknown?”

“The Liuxian Sect colluded with the Leng family, intending to rebel, leading to the destruction of the entire sect?”

As these pieces of news spread, combined with the royal family's thunderous actions, the entire royal city was shaken, leaving everyone stunned.

In the Dawei Dynasty, aside from forces like the Alchemy Pavilion, the most terrifying powers actually consisted of only two.

One was the trio of prominent families led by the Leng family, and the other was the sect alliance led by the Wuji Sect and the Guiyuan Sect.

Now, both of these powers had been completely wiped out, which was akin to an earthquake for the people of the Dawei Dynasty.

What was even more shocking was that the reason the Leng family and other forces could become the top powers of the Dawei Dynasty was precisely because these forces housed supreme Martial Kings to guard them.

Yet now, the Martial Kings of the Leng family and other forces had all been eradicated by the royal family.

Is this true?

In an instant, the dynasty shook, and everyone trembled.

It wasn't until someone secretly ventured to the Liuxian Sect's headquarters and saw the tragic scene, as well as the corpse of Leng Pogo hanging at the sect's mountain gate, that the royal city gasped in shock.

After the Leng family alliance was destroyed, all high-ranking members of the four major powers who were arrested were executed by beheading in the execution ground the following day.

On that day, the royal city was deserted, with everyone flocking to the execution ground, which was nearly bursting at the seams.

The Leng family, Wu family, Wuji Sect, and Guiyuan Sect had occupied high positions for many years, with their disciples behaving tyrannically; the situation was extremely severe.

Countless martial artists and forces from the royal city had suffered under their oppression.

Now seeing the head of the Leng family, Leng Feifan, and others executed for public display, everyone rejoiced and celebrated, feeling exhilarated.

What excited the public and various forces even more was that the current emperor, Liu Xuanrui, declared after destroying the Leng family and other forces that for the next three years, all taxes of the dynasty would be reduced or waived. Aside from basic taxes, the ordinary people's taxes would be completely exempted, and the taxes of other forces would be reduced by more than fifty percent.

With this move, the entire nation rejoiced.

The people applauded and cheered.

What they did not know was that after the royal family destroyed the four major forces, they confiscated all territories, mansions, and treasures belonging to these forces, taking everything into their possession.

The wealth accumulated by these four major powers over hundreds of years was so vast that even Liu Xuanrui was shocked, amounting to several times that of the dynasty's treasury.

With such wealth, the dynasty could easily afford to waive taxes for not just three years but even ten years without any issues.

Furthermore, with the collaboration with the Chendi Pavilion, the royal family's financial resources would expand significantly in the future, making the plundering of a few forces trivial in comparison.

In fact, after plundering the mansions of the four major forces, Liu Xuanrui did not transfer the properties to the royal family; he wanted to give these assets to Qin Chen, but Qin Chen refused to accept them.

Moreover, the Mo family announced that they would join the Chendi Pavilion, becoming the commercial institution of the Chendi Pavilion in the Hundred Dynasties, responsible for transportation matters.
