The Downfall of a Dynasty
Guyang City was located in the north of the Qian Martial Emperor Dynasty. It was located in a wasteland and could be said to be the border city of the Qian Martial Emperor Dynasty. Further north was where the Eighteen Ancient Cities were.
The city was not big. Because it was backed by the Ancient Barren Mountains, the endless beast tide had invaded many times, causing the entire city to be filled with a decaying aura. Even though the beast tide had gradually receded, there was no sense of life.
The huge ancient city was in ruins, and it was easy to feel depressed.
There were still many martial artists in the city. Among them, there were even many soldiers in heavy armor. They held weapons in their hands and looked ferocious. They were striding toward the city gate.
In the middle of these soldiers, there were hundreds of figures. Their clothes were tattered, and their faces were covered with disheveled hair. Their hands and feet were bound with iron chains. With every step they took, there was a dull sound of metal clanking.
Other than these people, there were countless people standing on the street. When they saw the scene before them, their eyes dimmed, and they sighed faintly.
Three days ago, Chu Xingyun had asked Shui Qianyue to return to Wanjian Pavilion first. He had asked her to spread the news of the reform to break up the ruling class and clear away many obstacles.
After Shui Qianyue returned to Wanjian Pavilion, she did not delay and immediately spread the news of the reform. When the people of the Eighteen Dynasties heard about the reform, they were all overjoyed.
Although the sudden outbreak of the beast tide had cut off the Daluo Golden Sect and Divine Firmament Palace's surveillance, it had a great impact on the Eighteen Dynasties. The people had suffered heavy losses, and the situation was very difficult.
Chu Xingyun's reform was to divide property, shops, and even power. He wanted to make the world a world for everyone. Everyone could live and work in peace and cultivate diligently.
To the people, this was like sweet dew after a long drought. They saw a glimmer of hope and saw the development of the Eighteen Dynasties. Of course, they were very encouraged.
In just one day, the reform measures had spread throughout the Eighteen Dynasties. Countless people were willing to support Chu Xingyun and no longer rejected the existence of the Wanjian Pavilion. They were even waiting for Chu Xingyun's arrival all day long to usher in a brand new future for the Eighteen Dynasties.
However, in the eyes of the leaders of the forces, this scene was incomparably unpleasant. In their fury, they directly issued orders that the people were not to support Chu Xingyun, let alone support the reform measures.
Those who disobey will be severely punished!
Because of this, the Eighteen Emperor Dynasties stirred up endless chaos. However, the leaders of the powers were resolute, directly sending out armies to suppress them. They either beat them up, captured them, or killed them on the spot. The scene was bloody and terrifying.
These chained people had all chosen to support Chu Xingyun. Thus, they had been captured and paraded through the streets. In the end, they would be pushed off the city walls and become food for the endless beast tide. They would die without a burial ground.
At this moment, outside Ancient Yang City, countless piles of bones had already been piled up. These people had not died from resisting the Beast Tide, but rather from the tyranny of their respective Masters.
Those who disobey will die.
Those who disobey will die.
Anyone who plotted against him would also die!
"Counting this batch, it should be the sixth batch, right?" The crowd lowered their voices, afraid that the soldiers would hear them. However, if one looked carefully, they would see that their eyes were slightly red. There was anger, hatred, and even more so, sorrow in their eyes.
These people who were chained were all the people of Ancient Yang City. Some were even their friends and relatives. However, at this moment, these people could not live. They were about to be eaten by the beasts.
In just two days, the number of people who had died because of this matter was no less than a thousand in Ancient Yang City. Every one of them died in a horrible way. Before they died, they were subjected to endless torture and insults. It could be said that their lives were worse than death.
Such a scene did not only happen in Ancient Yang City. It was the same in other cities. In order to consolidate their rule, the leaders of the powers had already become crazy and unreasonable. They wanted to use the deaths of the people to shut up the mouths of the people.
Shua La La!
When the iron chains hit the blue stone tiles, a series of crisp sounds rang out. The crowd raised their heads and looked over. The hundreds of people had already been brought up the city wall. Among them, there were old people, women, and even children. They were all standing on the city wall. As the wind blew past, their hair fluttered in the wind. The entire area was silent, only resentment was slowly spreading.
There were already spirit beasts waiting outside the city walls. Figures were reflected in their cold beastly eyes. They stuck out their red tongues and licked their sharp teeth. From time to time, they would even roar as if they were urging them to eat their fill.
"This is the result of supporting Wanjian Pavilion." In the middle of the soldiers, a middle-aged man in embroidered clothes stood in high spirits. He was slightly chubby and his eyebrows were like those of a mouse. His eyes were filled with ridicule as he looked at the people in front of him.
This person was the City Lord of Ancient Yang City. He was in charge of all matters in Ancient Yang City, including the life and death of the people in front of him.
"The so-called reform has greatly affected the peace of the Qian Martial Emperor's Dynasty. It has also affected the power of the Emperor. You unruly people are really daring. You actually dared to try and overthrow the Qian Dynasty. If you don't die, how can you convince the masses?" The City Lord of Ancient Yang City's eyes were filled with ferocity. No one in the crowd responded to his words. They were all gnashing their teeth and clenching their fists.
If looks could kill, then he would have already become a corpse. A corpse riddled with holes.
"The Eighteen Dynasties belong to Wanjian Pavilion. You thieves are just worried about your own interests being harmed. What Qian Dynasty? What Peace? That is just your side of the story. You are the real parasites that are harming the Eighteen Dynasties!" Among the crowd standing on the city wall, a person angrily shouted and cursed.
"Is that so?"
Gu Yang City's City Lord coldly smiled as he walked in front of that person. Without saying a word, he kicked that person and sent him flying.
In an instant, countless beasts roared. That person only felt his vision darken. Shortly after, countless spirit beasts pounced on him and bit his limbs. They chewed on his flesh and blood, instantly tearing him into pieces.
Puff!
Hot blood sprayed out and dyed the bodies of the spirit beasts red. When it dripped onto the ground, it emitted a pungent smell of blood. That person was dead. His body was torn apart by the spirit beasts. He didn't even have time to scream.
When the crowd saw this tragic scene, they held their breaths. They raised their heads and saw that the City Lord of Ancient Yang City still had a cold smile on his face. He looked like a cold-blooded executioner.
"You are about to die, yet you still dare to say such disgraceful words. Are you really in a hurry to die?" Gu Yang City's City Lord's face was filled with disdain. He swept his eyes over the crowd and impatiently said, "Throw these ignorant and unruly people away, so I don't have to worry about them."
"Yes!" A group of soldiers obeyed the order. Under the angry gazes of the crowd, they walked to the city wall and ruthlessly kicked those people away.
* Roar … Roar … Roar … *
Violent beasts roared again. This time, it was even more deafening than before. Countless spirit beasts leaped into the air. The scarlet beasts breathed out a foul smell as they madly flew towards those people.
Below, the crowd sighed in unison.
Although they had seen this scene many times before, they were still unable to suppress the hatred in their hearts. However, what they felt even more was helplessness. Helplessness in the face of such a powerful force.
"The Eighteen Dynasties are simply purgatory on earth. Is there no one in this world that can save us from this sea of suffering?"
The crowd lamented from the bottom of their hearts. In their eyes, people were falling down the city wall, people were being torn apart by spirit beasts, and blood covered the ground. What's more, there was a little girl who wasn't even ten years old sitting paralyzed on the ground covered in bones.
The little girl looked very lively. Her large eyes fluttered, but there was only fear on her face. In front of her were countless ferocious Spirit Beasts that were charging towards her. Just the whistling yellow sand alone was enough to completely drown her.
"If you don't want to become food in the bellies of spirit beasts, you can't support the Wanjian Pavilion. You can't support Luo Yun. Otherwise, I will make your deaths even more painful!" The City Lord of Ancient Yang City roared. He stretched out his hand and coldly pointed at the little girl. When he turned around, he didn't expect a flash of light to appear, causing him to unconsciously close his eyes.
"Who did you say you would make more painful deaths?"
An unfamiliar cold voice suddenly rang out. As if it contained a mysterious power, it caused the City Lord of Ancient Yang City to fiercely tremble.
In the next instant, he resentfully opened his eyes and saw a black-clothed youth slowly walking over from the rolling yellow sand.
The black-clothed youth's face was handsome like a demon's. His back was like a sword. His hands were gently hugging the little girl that was about to fall into the mouth of a spirit beast. Behind him was a sea of bloody spirit beast corpses.
