My son is about to break through.

Kill the ancestor of the Xiao family.

The great saint Huang Ji overwhelmed the entire Xiaoshan City.

Even Gu Shengan's pupils suddenly shrank when he saw this scene.

He knew that the Great Sage Huangji was monstrous in strength and was already an ancient powerful being who was vying for the ninth level of the Great Sage realm.

But Gu Shengan could never have imagined that the Great Sage Huangji could kill the ancestor of the Xiao family with just one encounter.

Such strength.

Shocking.

but.

Gu Shengan reacted quickly, seized the opportunity and gave the order.

"The ancestor of the Xiao family is dead. Pass on my order to massacre the entire Xiaoshan City. No one from the Xiao family should be spared!"

This sentence.

It determines the fate of all members of the Xiao family.

Xiao Xuan showed a look of despair and wanted to beg for mercy, but it was too late.

The Divine Guards started slaughtering people wantonly, while Xiao Xuan himself was pierced through the body by the Sky-Breaking Crossbow and was nailed to death in Xiaoshan City.

to death.

Endless regret arose in Xiao Xuan's heart.

If Xiao Xuan had known earlier how terrifying and cruel the Shenwu Dynasty was, he would never have chosen to confront the Shenwu Dynasty head-on.

Such actions have brought devastating disaster to the Xiao family.

Unfortunately.

There are no ifs in anything.

Now that the ancestor of the Xiao family has passed away, his own life has also come to an end, and the entire Xiao family has ceased to exist.

With the death of Xiao Xuan.

Many people from the Xiao family found it even more difficult to resist the power of the Divine Guards.

Just less than an hour.

The entire Xiaoshan City turned into a Shura hell.

A military general stepped forward, his armor stained with blood and emitting a frightening aura.

"Reporting to the military commander, the Xiao family has a total of 136,521 members, all of whom have been killed, and there is no one left!"

"it is good!"

Gu Shengan nodded, then looked at the ruined Xiaoshan City with frighteningly cold eyes.

"Today, I will use the blood of the Xiao family to tell the world that anyone who attempts to stop the Shenwu Dynasty will end up like the Xiao family!"

"Pass the order down, take away all the resources of the Xiao family that can be taken away, and leave the rest alone!"

Collect the body!

That is impossible.

What Gu Shengan wanted was to use the fate of the Xiao family to warn other forces.

If you want to go against the Shenwu Dynasty, you'd better think about the fate of the Xiao family.

Gu Shengan believed it.

With the demise of the Xiao family.

From now on, things will become much easier for the Shenwu Emperor to do things.

Half a day later.

Gu Shengan led the Shenwu Guards away.

Less than an hour after the army left, other cultivators entered Xiaoshan City.

When seeing the tragic situation in Xiaoshan City and Xiao Xuan's corpse with his eyes open, these cultivators' faces changed drastically, with fear appearing in their eyes.

"Dead! The entire Xiao family is dead!!"

"What a cruel method! The Shenwu Dynasty is acting this way. Aren't they really afraid of the wrath of heaven and earth?"

All the monks were secretly frightened.

The Xiao family was destroyed.

None of the hundreds of thousands of tribesmen were spared.

The ruthless methods used by the Shenwu Dynasty once again refreshed their cognition.

Especially some forces of the Anti-God Alliance, after they received the message from the Xiao family, they immediately rushed to Xiaoshan City with their own cultivators.

But when they arrived, the entire Xiao family had been destroyed, and Xiaoshan City had turned into a dead city.

this moment.

These forces were all extremely fortunate.

Fortunately, he and others arrived a little late, otherwise, the Xiao family’s fate would be the same as theirs.

more than this.

After seeing the miserable plight of the Xiao family, he quietly withdrew from the so-called Anti-God Alliance and never dared to go against the Shenwu Dynasty again.

joke.

Originally thought that he wanted to use the greater good to force the Shenwu Dynasty to submit, but it turned out that the other party didn't buy it at all.

Even the ancient Xiao family was crushed by three million divine guards, not to mention that their strength was not as good as that of the ancient Xiao family.

and so.

Even if these forces were given ten times more courage, they would not have the guts to go against the Shenwu Dynasty.

……

A few days of work.

The news of the destruction of the ancient Xiao family spread throughout the entire Eastern Region.

Regarding this news, some forces were afraid, some were secretly angry, and some forces even openly attacked the Shenwu Dynasty with words, saying that the other party was destroying the stability within the human race.

But no matter what, no force really launched a war against the Shenwu Dynasty because of this incident.

There is only one reason.

That is because Gu Qingfeng is here, these forces dare not act rashly.

Even if all the cultivators of the Shenwu Dynasty died, as long as the head of the Gu family was alive, no one would dare to touch the Shenwu Dynasty.

This is the deterrent power of the supreme strong.

One person is like a country.

the other side.

Things developed just as Gu Shengan had expected. After the Shenwu Guards suppressed and exterminated the entire Xiao family with absolute force, the subsequent Shenwu army no longer had any resistance in the two states.

Almost all the aristocratic families and sects surrendered at the sight of the attack, not daring to step out to stop it, for fear that they would follow in the footsteps of the Xiao family.

for this result.

Gu Shengan was naturally very satisfied.

"You have all seen it, these aristocratic families are like this. When our Shenwu Dynasty is strong, they will keep their tails between their legs. If our Shenwu Dynasty shows any signs of weakness, they will rush over like hyenas smelling blood.

Facing these forces, we must not retreat even a single step, let alone show the slightest sign of weakness.

Only by sweeping away everything with thunder and lightning can we truly extinguish those inappropriate thoughts in their hearts!"

Gu Shengan was like a ferocious tiger, his eyes full of dominance. Upon hearing this, the Great Sage Huangji beside him could not help but look at the leader of the Divine Guards, and sighed in his heart.

A family man!

They are indeed extraordinary!
Although Gu Shengan's cultivation is slightly weaker, up to now, he is only at the second level of Dao Palace Realm.

but.

The other party's way of doing things made the Great Sage Huangji's eyes light up.

This is a natural born general!
What’s more, the other party is a member of the Gu family, so his future achievements are limitless.

not to mention.

Now, Gu Shengan is less than a hundred years old, but he has already entered the second level of Dao Palace Realm. In terms of aptitude, he is definitely outstanding.

Even in the Huangji Holy Land back then, there were not many geniuses of this level.

but.

Thinking that the other party is a direct descendant of the Gu family.

The Great Sage Huangji felt relieved again.

Direct descendant of the Gu family!

It all makes sense.

After all, the Gu family has that extraordinary person, so how could the bloodline passed down from him be simple?

When Gu Qingfeng truly enters the realm of the Great Emperor one day, it will be an astonishing sublimation and transformation for the entire Gu family.

-

Half a year.

The Shenwu Emperor suppressed the two states.

Including the original ancient Xingzhou and Shenyuanzhou.

Today, the Shenwu Dynasty has taken control of four states.

of course.

Shenyuanzhou was just a territory re-divided by the Emperor Shenwu, different from the three ancient states.

Every state.

They all cover 3,600 prefectures.

Look at Shenyuanzhou again.

There are only 373 prefectures, which are barely one-tenth of any of the three states.

Look at Kyushu again.

That's even smaller.

Although Jiuzhou is named after the state, in fact, any state in Jiuzhou is only equivalent to a prefecture in the Eastern Region.

Now that the Shenwu Emperor has suppressed the two states, the overall territory has expanded by almost twice.

The four states in the Eastern Region!

And the nine provinces of my own!

Thirteen states!
Equivalent to 11,182 prefectures!
To put it bluntly.

Such a vast territory made the Shenwu Dynasty the largest dynasty in the Eastern Region.

Even an ancient dynasty like the Taixuan Dynasty actually only controlled the territory of a state. Many dynasties did not even have the territory of a state.

The Shenwu Dynasty alone was able to defeat all other dynasties simply by owning the three ancient states in the Eastern Region.

As the two states surrendered.

The fortunes of the Shenwu Emperor's dynasty soared.

Gu Yang, who had just been promoted to the first level of Sainthood, made another breakthrough in a short period of time due to his enormous luck and directly entered the second level of Sainthood.

Ninth level of saint!

One step at a time to reach the sky!

After breaking through the second level of Saint, Gu Yang's strength became even more terrifying.

same.

His ambitions are even greater.

“Even if we gain two more states, it is not enough for the Shenwu Imperial Dynasty to be promoted to the Divine Dynasty. The gap between the Imperial Dynasty and the Divine Dynasty is too big. Even if we have ten times the foundation of the Imperial Dynasty, we can’t truly join the ranks of the Divine Dynasty!”

"If the Shenwu Dynasty wants to be promoted to a divine dynasty, it must gain more territory!"

Gu Yang took a deep breath, and a desire called ambition emerged in his eyes.

Before the promotion to the Imperial Dynasty, his biggest goal was to be promoted to the Imperial Dynasty, but now that the Shenwu Imperial Dynasty has been successfully promoted, the next step should be to look forward to the Divine Dynasty.

Only by being promoted to the ranks of the Divine Dynasty can one be considered barely qualified to be on par with the Taiyi Divine Dynasty.

Of course.

It's just a slight qualification.

After all, the Taiyi Divine Dynasty unified the entire ancient world and even penetrated deep into the chaotic starry sky. It is completely incomparable to any ordinary divine dynasty.

Through the ages.

The ancient world is not as simple as the emergence of a divine dynasty.

however.

No other divine dynasty can reach the heights of the Taiyi Divine Dynasty.

"The Taiyi Divine Dynasty is only a goal of the Shenwu Imperial Dynasty, but it will never be the end. However, the Divine Dynasty has not yet been promoted, so there is no need to think too much!"

"If we want to truly advance to the Divine Dynasty, we must at least take control of the entire Eastern Region!"

One hundred and eight states in the Eastern Region!

If all fell into the control of the Shenwu Dynasty.

Then Gu Yang believed that with the majestic fortune of the 108 states, the imperial dynasty could be promoted to the divine dynasty.

but.

The difficulty of doing this is also not small.

Even with Gu Qingfeng behind the Shenwu Dynasty, it is not easy to truly conquer the entire Eastern Region.

Although the Eastern Region seems weak, Gu Yang knows very well that the water in the Eastern Region is deep and there are countless unknown forces hidden behind it.

In the past, these forces would not appear rashly, but if they threaten the foundation of their survival, they will have to appear.

"The road to the Divine Dynasty is destined to make everyone in the world an enemy!"

"Only by suppressing all disobedient people can one ascend to the throne of the Divine Dynasty!"

Gu Yang's eyes were determined. Since he had decided to take a certain path, there was absolutely no reason for him to retreat.

A thought fell.

Gu Yang looked towards the sky above the capital.

There, a vast amount of luck gathered and transformed into a blooming ninth-grade green lotus. However, it was difficult for ordinary people to perceive the mystery of luck, so they could not see the existence of the ninth-grade green lotus.

“The Ninth Rank Azure Lotus is only the beginning of the dynasty. When one reaches the Eleventh Rank Azure Lotus, it means that the Shenwu Dynasty has truly reached its end.

If you can further transform into the twelfth-grade Azure Lotus, you will be able to break the shackles of the imperial dynasty and truly join the ranks of the divine dynasty—"

Under the imperial dynasty.

The Green Lotus of Luck will only undergo transformation when it is promoted.

But things are different after the Imperial Dynasty. The ninth-grade blue lotus representing the Imperial Dynasty can grow to the eleventh grade at most, and then be promoted to the twelfth grade and transform into a divine dynasty.

After conquering the two states, the Ninth-Rank Green Lotus had become much more solid, with a faint bud visible on it, as if the tenth lotus petal was about to be born.

This undoubtedly confirmed what Gu Yang was thinking.

If the Imperial Dynasty wants to be promoted to the Divine Dynasty, it must at least conquer the entire Eastern Region.

Don’t see you.

Now that there are two more states, the ninth-grade blue lotus has only sprouted. There is still a long way to go before it can be truly promoted to the tenth grade.

At the next morning meeting.

Gu Yang publicly announced that the original nine states were integrated together and directly renamed Zuzhou, which was known as the Shenwu ancestral land.

The Zuzhou was divided into nine prefectures, which were named after the original nine states.

The state was downgraded to a prefecture!

The prefecture was downgraded to a county!

In the past, the counties came before the prefectures in Jiuzhou, but now Gu Yang simply disrupted them all and redivided them.

Under Zuzhou.

These are the nine prefectures.

There are thirty-six counties under the nine prefectures.

Then there are many places such as cities and counties.

When this news came out, it did not cause much shock.

After all, whether it is Jiuzhou or Zuzhou, it is just a name. The only changes are probably the changes in official positions in various places within Zuzhou, but that's all.

this matter.

It is impossible to cause any waves.

……

Changed from Kyushu to Zuzhou.

Time flies and another year has passed.

this year.

The Shenwu Emperor occupied several states, rested and recuperated, and did not start any more wars.

Seeing this, the forces in other states also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

They were worried that the Shenwu Dynasty was ambitious and wanted to unify the entire Eastern Region, which would be a considerable threat to them.

Fortunately.

The Shenwu Dynasty did not seem to have this idea.

Of course.

Not everyone thinks this way.

There are still some forces that remain wary of the Shenwu Dynasty. In the eyes of these forces, the Shenwu Dynasty is like a sleeping tiger that may wake up at any time.

Once such a ferocious tiger awakens, it will surely shake the mountains and forests.

that time.

The war in the 108 states of the Eastern Region is bound to escalate.

During the year that the Shenwu Emperor was recuperating, the war between humans and demons became increasingly fierce. At the same time, more evil spirits broke the seal of the ancient times and set off a huge disaster.

In this regard.

The human race naturally responded.

During the reign of Emperor Shenwu.

The Shenwu Guards, led by Gu Shengan, suppressed all parties and wiped out all demons and evil spirits in the Shenwu territory, making them famous.

This day.

When the world is in turmoil.

Without alerting anyone, Gu Yang quietly left Zuzhou and headed for the Taixu Holy Land in the Eastern Region.

When the news of Gu Yang's visit to Taixu Holy Land came out, the entire Holy Land was shaken, and even Taixuan Daojun, who was in seclusion, had to come out to greet him. (End of this chapter)
