Cang Xing sat on the main seat in the hall of the Chen Family Mansion in Tyrant Emperor City. Below him, the Chen Family Head, the Wang Family Head, and the Sect Head of the Feiliu Gate stood uneasily.
The three of them had no idea what kind of attitude the Swords Gate had towards them. If the Swords Gate wanted to annihilate the three of them, then it would be a disaster for them, and they wouldn't be able to resist at all.
Uneasy, the three of them anxiously waited for Cang Xing to speak. Not long later, Cang Xing finally spoke in an indifferent tone.
"During the internal strife in the Tyrant Province, the three of you should have taken the opportunity to reap quite a few benefits, right?"
Cang Xing naturally knew what the Chen Family, the Wang Family, and the Feiliu Gate had done during this period of time. He knew that after the Black Emperor Sect retreated, the three of them had indeed taken the opportunity to reap quite a few benefits.
Without mentioning anything else, just the number of sects and clans that were destroyed by the three of them was more than a dozen.
More than a dozen sects and clans were destroyed by the three of them. After that, they plundered the treasuries of these sects and clans. Naturally, they had obtained quite a few good things.
Hearing Cang Xing's words, the three of them felt their hearts sink. The Wang Family Head was the first to react. He immediately bent his knees and knelt on the ground, begging for mercy at Cang Xing.
"Vice Sect Head, we only attacked those factions that had a grudge against us. We did not have the slightest intention of betraying them."
In front of the Sword Sect, the three of them did not have the slightest intention to resist. All they could do was beg for mercy, hoping that Cang Xing would be magnanimous and let them off this time.
Seeing the head of the Wang Clan kneel and beg for mercy, the head of the Chen Clan and the head of the Feiliu Gate did the same. Seeing this, Cang Xing, who was sitting on the main seat, did not have the slightest change in his expression.
"Alright, stand up and speak."
Hearing this, the three of them slowly stood up. However, the apprehension on their faces became even more intense at this time.
Seeing how nervous the three of them were, Cang Xing paused for a moment before continuing, "I can let bygones be bygones, but I hope you understand that Bazhou belongs to the Sword Sect. I don't think I need to explain what you should do, right?"
Cang Xing's goal was to stabilize the situation in Bazhou as soon as possible and take over Bazhou as soon as possible. Therefore, Cang Xing could treat what the three families had done as nothing. Of course, the prerequisite was that the three families had to be obedient from now on. Otherwise, Cang Xing wouldn't mind exterminating them.
Hearing Cang Xing's words, the Chen family patriarch and the other two immediately guaranteed, "Vice Sect Leader, don't worry. From today onwards, we will definitely follow the lead of the Sword Sect."
Without hesitation, they chose to follow the Sword Sect and were willing to become a subordinate force of the Sword Sect. They would do their best to help the Sword Sect control Bazhou.
In fact, the three families didn't have much of a choice. In the face of the Sword Sect's strength, they could only choose to submit. Resistance would only lead to destruction.
Although the three clans had once thought of taking Bazhou for themselves, with the intervention of Swords Gate, the three clans knew very well that snatching Bazhou from Swords Gate was simply courting death. There was no way they could win against Swords Gate.
Either submit or perish. Therefore, submitting was the only choice for the three families. Hearing their words, Cang Xing nodded slightly. Only then did a faint smile appear on Cang Xing's face.
"That's right. However, I hope that Tyrant Emperor City can be stabilized in the shortest time possible."
Tyrant Emperor City was the home of the three families. They had been entrenched in Tyrant Emperor City for many years. It was definitely better for the three families to stabilize the situation in Tyrant Emperor City than for the Sword Sect. Moreover, as long as the three families were obedient, there wouldn't be any more unrest in Tyrant Emperor City.
Knowing what Cang Xing meant, the three of them nodded repeatedly.
Subduing Tyrant Emperor City didn't take much effort for Cang Xing. This was also a display of the Sword Sect's strength.
Because of the Sword Sect's strength, the Chen family, Wang family, and Feiliu Gate didn't dare to have any thoughts of resistance. They were afraid of the Sword Sect. Therefore, in just a few words, Cang Xing had already taken over Tyrant Emperor City.
Tyrant Emperor City stabilized. At the same time, the same scene was playing out in the other major cities in Bazhou.
Groups of Sword Sect disciples entered the major cities in Bazhou and quickly stabilized the situation. They gathered the local powers together and clearly expressed the attitude of the Sword Sect. Either submit or perish.
It could be said that they didn't encounter any resistance. In the face of the might of the Sword Sect, the local powers in Bazhou all chose to submit.
It could be said that the Swords Gate disciples had thoroughly felt the pride of being a disciple of Swords Gate during this expedition into Ba Zhou.
The Sect Masters and Patriarchs of those powers were all respectful when they saw them. It wasn't because of their cultivation or talent, but because they were disciples of the Sword Sect. That was all.
Moreover, because of their identity as a disciple of the Sword Sect, they were not only respected, but also enjoyed supreme glory. This made the disciples of the Sword Sect even more loyal to the Sword Sect. At the same time, they also agreed with what Xiao Chen had said before. The strength of a sect was beneficial to everyone in the sect.
After the Sword Sect intervened, the situation in Bazhou was basically stabilized in just half a month. The originally chaotic situation was also restored to order with the intervention of many experts from the Sword Sect.
Things like burning, killing, and looting that could be seen every day were now almost completely contained. Regardless of whether it was the sects, forces, or the major families, none of them dared to make the slightest move, let alone talk about attacking each other.
The sects and the major families had completely settled down. As for the other rogue cultivators, although there were some who didn't care about the Sword Sect and still did things their own way, it was a pity that the Sword Sect's encirclement soon killed many of these daring rogue cultivators.
After the bloody cleanup, Bazhou was considered to have stabilized. At the same time, Xiao Chen, who was in Hundred Swords City, also received a message from the Cang Xi Opera.
In the backyard, Xiao Chen, Zhou Song, and Wu Huan sat together and looked at the other two. Xiao Chen replied with a smile, "Cang Xing sent a message back. The situation in Bazhou has stabilized."
Xiao Chen was naturally happy that the situation in Bazhou had been stabilized so quickly. With that, Xiao Chen planned to bring people into Bazhou to take a look at the former location of the Black Emperor Sect.
Although Xiao Chen had guessed that the Black Emperor Sect wouldn't leave anything for him when they retreated this time, it didn't matter if he personally took a look.
