Chapter 979: Chapter 976: The Royal Family Is Annihilated
Tong Xianggu’s heart trembled violently, a sense of helpless despair enveloped him, like an indelible dark cloud.
He looked at Xu Wendong, a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "Do you really want to eradicate us completely?"
Xu Wendong: "To ordinary people, the Nine Provinces Imperial Family are nine unshakable existences, but in my eyes, you can be replaced at any time!"
An elder’s eyes widened in rage, loudly questioning: "We merely follow the survival rule of the strong preying on the weak. How can you say we are in the wrong?"
Xu Wendong chuckled: "The Heavenly Dao is ruthless; do you not feel childish discussing right and wrong with me?"
A simple sentence was like an invisible hand gripping everyone’s throat, causing a near-suffocating illusion.
Indeed!
The Heavenly Dao is ruthless.
Discussing wrong with Xu Wendong, isn’t that indeed a childish matter?
Xu Wendong showed a slight smile: "Gathering you all together this time is to send you off as a family should be together."
"However, before this, I might consider giving you a chance to live."
"As long as you recognize your mistakes, I’ll give you a way out."
"You have the time it takes for half an incense stick." With those words, half a sandalwood incense suddenly appeared in the void.
The eyes of the strong from the seven royal families were all aglow.
"Senior, we recognize our mistakes." The king of the Yangzhou Imperial Family bowed in salute.
Even though they didn’t want to admit their mistakes,
for the sake of living, they had no choice but to lower their proud heads.
Moreover, they didn’t feel ashamed to admit mistakes to the Heavenly Dao.
Xu Wendong asked: "What mistake?"
"This... we should not have bullied others with our power." The king of the Yangzhou Imperial Family bowed his head nervously, unsure if Xu Wendong would be satisfied with this answer.
Xu Wendong regretfully shook his head: "Sorry, that answer does not satisfy me!"
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
Everyone’s heart was burning with anxiety.
Besides this answer, they really couldn’t think of anything else.
And the half incense stick in the air was burning quickly.
In an instant.
The half incense stick burned to ashes.
At the same time.
Everyone felt a strong sense of oppression, as if an invisible force was enveloping their bodies, ready to turn them into pulp at any moment.
Xu Wendong looked up at the sky, turned around, and flew westward with Xu Fan and Si Youyou, letting out a sigh: "The Heavenly Dao is ruthless, but people should be compassionate!"
A simple sentence, like a blow to the head, made the strong from the seven royal families truly realize their mistakes.
What a pity.
They no longer had the chance to make amends.
As soon as Xu Wendong left, their bodies, like flying sand, were swept away by the wind, disappearing between heaven and earth.
------
Though the issue with the seven royal families had been resolved, for Xu Wendong, it was far from over.
An old saying goes, a country cannot be without a ruler for a day.
If news of the annihilation of the seven royal families got out, it would undoubtedly trigger unimaginable chaos.
Then the ones to suffer would be the common people.
Therefore.
He still had to arrange trustworthy people to replace the seven royal families.
The first was Lu You, the Third Boss of the Azure Dragon Stronghold.
When Xu Wendong entered the Kunlun Mountains Minor World, Lu You had given him much help.
Moreover, his character could be relied upon.
------
Azure Dragon Stronghold.
After becoming the main leader of the Azure Dragon Stronghold, Lu You found he had much more time for cultivation.
However, his talent was average, and despite consuming a large number of elixirs and using many Spirit Stones, he still showed no signs of Golden Core to Nascent Soul transformation.
While Lu You was cultivating, a familiar voice echoed in his mind: "Brother Lu, would you be willing to become the Emperor of Yanzhou City?"
Lu You’s eyes suddenly snapped open, revealing a look of disbelief: "Brother Xu?"
He thought he was hallucinating.
But the next second.
He saw a scene that made his scalp tingle; a stone in front of him transformed into the figure of Xu Wendong.
Upon this scene.
Lu You felt a chill run down his spine, nearly shouting aloud.
"Are you interested in helping me manage Yanzhou?" Xu Wendong had a faint smile on his face.
At the same time, Lu You received a lot of information.
For instance, Xu Wendong had become something beyond the rules of the Heavenly Dao and was aware of his terrifying power.
"Brother Xu... thank you for your trust in me... but I am just a coarse person, with no ability to help you manage Yanzhou!" Lu You’s face was smiling, but he was close to tears.
Though he knew Xu Wendong’s future accomplishments would be incredible, he never dreamed he would actually become the Controller of this world.
Xu Wendong presented a golden seal: "You and I are brothers, I won’t force you to do anything you don’t want to do."
"I will leave this with you for a day, if you decide, you can let the blood recognize the master."
"If your ambition does not lie here, it will disappear on its own after one day."
"Of course, no matter what choice you make, we’re still brothers." With one step, he disappeared from Lu You’s sight.
The next stop was Cai Jin at Heifeng Stockade, though Cai Jin was also of bandit origin, when he first entered the Kunlun Mountains Minor World and was hunted by the Azure Dragon Stronghold, Cai Jin too had given him some help.
"Can I really become the Emperor of Yanzhou?" Lu You stared at the golden seal in front of him, unable to calm his inner turmoil.
Although he longed to become a strong figure renowned throughout the world, he had never imagined having such an opportunity one day.
"He calls me brother!"
"Moreover, he is willing to make me the Emperor of Yanzhou, which clearly shows he values me."
"Since that’s the case, naturally, I cannot let him down!"
Taking a deep breath.
Lu You bit his fingertip, letting his blood drip onto the seal.
The next moment.
A powerful force surged into his body, instantly elevating him to the Nascent Soul Stage Peak.
------
In the Kunlun Mountains Minor World, Xu Wendong was the absolutely invincible, most powerful being.
His real presence headed towards the Western Paradise World.
However.
He had multiple incarnations walking the world, looking for people to help him govern the realm.
"Ahead is the Western Paradise World, this place is an independent Minor World. You must act cautiously there." Si Youyou looked at the golden domain ahead, worry flashing in her eyes.
Even though Xu Wendong was the Lord of the Heavenly Dao in the Kunlun Mountains Minor World, in this golden domain, his power would be greatly weakened.
"You both wait here for me." Xu Wendong, knowing the risk of this journey, did not bring Xu Fan and Si Youyou with him.
Subsequently.
His figure flashed as he left the Kunlun Mountains Minor World.
At the moment he left the Kunlun Mountains Minor World, he suddenly felt his body become much heavier, as if a powerful force was forcibly extracted from him.
But he resolutely flew towards the bright golden nation ahead.
He was going to find his mother!
