Hundreds of thousands of people, just with one command, turned into corpses. In an instant, the entire Central Capital was filled with the stench of death, lingering and refusing to dissipate.
It was enough to make one feel nauseous.
Before the Law Sovereign's army even arrived, the area had already been cleansed once. This massacre left all the martial artists in the martial arts world speechless. Many of the great families also became much more compliant.
The effects were immediate.
In the sky above Central Capital, there wasn't even a hint of wind. Despite it being late autumn, the weather was surprisingly hot.
It felt as if the air itself had stopped flowing.
On the streets, everyone hurried by with grim faces, not uttering a word. Their expressions resembled that of walking corpses.
Eyes glowing with a sinister light, their looks were twisted. It seemed they were displeased with anyone they saw, as if they wished to kill anyone who crossed their path.
Time finally reached the morning of the third day since Chu Yang and the others had entered seclusion.
Suddenly, a stir arose throughout Central Capital.
“They're coming, they're really coming…” Someone on the street shouted, their voice sounding like they were on the verge of tears.
“They're coming, the enforcers' army has arrived…” More people began to shout.
Some people possessed considerable cultivation levels, but upon hearing this news, they were so frightened that they sat down on the ground.
The enforcers had arrived; the doomsday had finally come!
Everyone simultaneously looked up.
They saw waves of smoke and clouds slowly drifting in from all directions above Central Capital…
Ling Mu Yang was about to step out to check the situation when Feng Yuru swiftly darted out, simply instructing, “Let me check the situation. You stay alert here, and make sure everything is safe and quiet. Don’t let anything disturb those who are in seclusion.”
Ling Mu Yang naturally respected Feng Yuru and bowed in agreement, “Understood.”
Before his words had even faded, Feng Yuru's figure had disappeared without a trace.
It was only at that moment that he heard a “swish” in the air, and a clear space crack appeared before him, a testament to Feng Yuru's rapid flight that tore through the fabric of space.
With a “whoosh,” Feng Yuru appeared on the highest peak of Central Capital, her gaze scanning the surroundings.
She couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
The enforcers, the Law Sovereign, truly had come.
Now, although she still couldn't see a single enforcer, she could clearly observe the thick smoke rising from all four directions, miles away.
It was as if a storm had suddenly erupted, swirling in towards the center.
An extremely malevolent and dark killing intent floated in the distance, recognizable even from a thousand miles away!
This momentum indicated that the Law Sovereign's enforcer army had to be at least in the millions to create such an astonishing effect!
As they advanced through slaughter, the dense smoke gradually covered the entire blue sky. Feng Yuru already understood that the Law Sovereign had ignited everything that could burn along the way.
Not just houses, residences, and farmlands, but also mountains and dense forests; everything that could catch fire had been set ablaze…
“Law Sovereign, why have you become so extreme?” A hint of pain surfaced in Feng Yuru's eyes as she muttered to herself, “The original you, although had larger ambitions and diverged significantly from the principles held by the nine calamity sword master and past enforcers; you were not a person devoid of humanity. Why have you become so radical now…”
“You have implemented many methods and measures, which clearly show that you aim for the good of this continent! But now, why has it turned into this? Even if influenced by the heavenly demons, it shouldn't be like this…”
“Just to vent your grievances and pain, you resort to such slaughter across the world?”
Feng Yuru stood there in a daze, her heart filled with endless questions but unsure of how to express them or whom to ask!
