Everyone was stunned by the video on the Great Qin's official website. Annihilation! All sixteen sects' forces were wiped out!
要知道那可是五十多位皇级啊，那怕是一个中等宗门，都经不住这么多皇级攻击，但是现在，一个只有十几位皇级的大秦，却把这些人全给灭了！
In the Qin Palace Square in the capital, the captured members of the sixteen sects knelt on the ground, their heads bowed low, not wanting anyone to see their faces.
Execution in public was a minor matter to them now; losing face was the major one. To be beheaded in such a humiliating way, rather than dying on the battlefield as a dignified Emperor-level powerhouse, was truly stifling.
"Isn't that Elder Huang of the Black Witch Cult? With his late Emperor-level strength, who would have thought such a powerful expert would be captured alive by Great Qin? Just how many strong experts does Great Qin possess now?"
Someone recognized the members of the sixteen sects from the live broadcast, their hearts filled with shock. Capturing a late Emperor-level expert alive would require at least three experts of the same level, and even then, they would have to prevent the target from self-destructing in desperation.
Yet, here stood a living late Emperor-level expert, about to be beheaded under the gaze of countless eyes, sending chills through many hidden experts and filling them with apprehension towards Great Qin.
"Great Qin has risen. From this day forward, no force will dare to underestimate Great Qin."
"The sixteen sects have truly kicked a steel plate this time. Perhaps in no time at all, the sixteen sects will become history."
"Kill!!!"
In the Qin Palace Square, with a single command, over a dozen executioners swung their blades. The heads of the members of the sixteen sects instantly fell, the scene incredibly bloody.
But no one at the scene was afraid or disgusted. Instead, cheers erupted.
"Great Qin is mighty!!!"
Thousands of people in the square were celebrating. After the great changes in the world, Great Qin had suffered setbacks everywhere. First, the Heavenly Family descended forcefully upon the capital, killing countless people. The patriarch of the Heavenly Family even killed half the people in the Qin Palace in front of the Qin Lord.
Then came the beast tide from the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, where the war soldiers built the city with their bodies and defended it with their lives. At that time, hundreds of Emperor-level experts led by the Desolation Hall watched coldly, attempting to force the Qin Lord to his death.
During that period, all Great Qin saw was despair, with no hope for the future!
But now, things were different. Great Qin had risen, recapturing Zheng City and five other cities, and defending them against the sneak attacks of the sixteen sects, finally counterattacking forcefully!
And just last night, Great Qin had annihilated all fifty Emperor-level experts of the sixteen sects, and today, they broadcast the beheading of the captured individuals to the entire world.
They knew that from this moment on, Great Qin had truly risen, finally possessing its own voice in this chaotic world.
From now on, no force could ignore Great Qin's existence, and no one could arbitrarily slaughter ordinary Great Qin citizens anymore.
Because whether it was Great Qin's current six cities or the areas occupied by other forces, as long as they were Great Qin people, they had a towering mountain behind them, and that was Great Qin!
This was a special kind of emotion that the awakened cultivators did not and could not understand, but all Great Qin people understood it!
In the past, they lived under Great Qin's wings, without fear of any danger, as all dangers were kept outside the nation's gates by Great Qin.
Even abroad, if any Great Qin person suffered unfair treatment, Great Qin would seek justice for them!
The great nation of the East accepted no compromise, bowed to no force, and acknowledged no injustice!
Those who offend my Great Qin shall be punished, even if they are far away!
This is Great Qin!
And now, the Great Qin of the past had returned!
"By order of the Qin Lord, from this day forward, the following regulations shall be implemented throughout Great Qin's territory!"
In the live broadcast, Jiang Hai spoke with great excitement, tears welling up in his eyes. Although his strength was not impressive, he knew that countless powerful forces were listening to his words.
And this time, his words would be met with no opposition, no provocation, and no one would dare to ignore them!
"Great Qin's six cities will restore all order. Public security, healthcare, transportation, education, etc., will be fully restored!"
"Within Great Qin's six cities, all are equal. Anyone who dares to violate Great Qin's laws will be severely punished!"
"Trespassers within Great Qin's six cities without prior notification shall be killed!"
"All non-Great Qin Emperor-level experts and Emperor-level experts of Great Qin's friendly sects are forbidden from flying in Great Qin's airspace without authorization. Violators will be killed!"
"Those who provoke Great Qin without reason and initiate war will be killed without mercy! Great Qin does not accept surrender, does not accept peace talks. Those who have shed the blood of Great Qin's warriors will have their sects exterminated and their clans annihilated!"
After speaking these regulations in one breath, Jiang Hai's face was flushed red, but his eyes were filled with excitement and pride.
"Great Qin is mighty!!! Long live Great Qin!!!"
"Qin Lord is mighty!!! Dragon King is mighty!!!"
In the Qin Palace Square, after Jiang Hai finished speaking, the dense crowd roared with cheers and celebration.
The crowd was filled with excitement, tossing things into the air, jumping, and dancing.
In other places, Great Qin people who saw this scene through the live broadcast were also cheering, but amidst their cheers, their eyes were filled with anticipation and envy, for they knew that in the near future, Great Qin would inevitably reclaim all its cities, and then they too would be able to enjoy all of this.
"Well done, Great Qin!!!"
Many sect leaders couldn't help but slam their tables and curse, especially those who disliked Great Qin or were enemies of Great Qin, their hearts filled with unquenchable rage.
Great Qin, a mere fledgling force, had grown to the same status as them, or even become more arrogant and powerful. How could they tolerate this?
Equality for all in Great Qin's six cities? This was a clear message that, in Great Qin's eyes, regardless of whether you were an Emperor-level expert or an ordinary person, your status was equal. Martial cultivators held no special privileges!
"Simply outrageous! How dare Great Qin do this? Equality for all? Making an ant stand at the same level as us Emperor-level experts is an insult to us! It's a provocation!"
An Emperor-level expert roared. Strength honors the strong; this had been the rule since ancient times. Great Qin was now seeking to overturn this rule, how could they accept it?
"Those who trespass into Great Qin's territory without reason shall be killed. Doesn't this mean that even if we have no ill intentions, and are merely passing through, we will have to pay with our lives? This is utterly preposterous! Too presumptuous! By what right does Great Qin possess this?"
"Too arrogant! Even the overlord-level sects do not have such overbearing regulations. Great Qin is challenging all of us awakened forces!"
"Great Qin's current regulations are all targeting the strong. It's interesting; the thinking of these later generations is entirely different from the ancient times. One wonders if this is progress or regression?"
Various forces had their own different opinions: anger, indifference, curiosity, support, and disdain.
But in the strongholds of the sixteen sects, it was deathly silent. They had heard all of Great Qin's regulations clearly, but except for the last one, they had ignored all the preceding ones.
