Great Xia: At the start, summon the Net of Heaven to suppress the martial arts world.

The news of the breach of the first barrier of the Great Zhou Dynasty—the Zhulao Pass—quickly spread throughout the entire Chinese continent.

No one could have imagined that the Great Zhou Dynasty's investment of a large sum of money to build a formidable pass that was easy to defend and difficult to attack would not stop the advance of the Great Xia army in the slightest.

At this moment, the Great Xia army was hailed by the world as an invincible force.

For a time, both the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Great Shang Dynasty were shrouded in despair.

To the general public, there was no idea how the Great Xia army had managed to breach this barrier.

When the news spread that the garrison of Zulao Pass had scattered and fled, the world simply refused to believe that an army that had always been underestimated could possess such power.

The world is more inclined to believe that this was done by a powerful being at the terrestrial immortal realm.

By the time the news reached the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Bai Qi's army had already crossed the Zhulao Pass and was approaching the capital.

"Your Majesty, according to reports, the 200,000 troops guarding the pass have not been able to stop the Great Xia army at all!"

"According to the soldiers who fled in all directions, the Great Xia army was aided by demons. A demon over a hundred feet tall collapsed the fortified pass with a single palm strike!"

"The defending army was powerless to turn the tide, and General Xu committed suicide at Zulao Pass."

"Now, the Great Xia army has crossed the Zulao Pass and is heading straight for the capital!"

Inside the imperial city of the Great Zhou Dynasty, after the emperor's personal eunuch reported the matter...

The Emperor Zhou's eyes, filled with despair, were now completely devoid of emotion.

The 200,000 troops guarding the pass were the limit of the army that Emperor Zhou could mobilize.

The remaining soldiers were clearly in the hands of powerful clans, and now that they were facing death, these clans would certainly not hand over their troops.

Compared to Xia Taige's ability to easily mobilize a million-strong army, the Zhou Emperor's power was significantly diminished.

"Fine, since there's no way to reverse the situation, let these clever aristocratic families do the work!"

"Compared to Xia Taige, I am far inferior!"

Emperor Zhou shook his head bitterly, a hint of regret in his expression.

After Xia Taige made several major moves within the Great Xia territory, the Great Zhou Dynasty became aware of it.

At the time, I didn't think Xia Taige could carry this out, so I just watched from the sidelines.

Looking back now, if we had done the same as the Great Xia Dynasty back then and eradicated the powerful clans and aristocratic families within our borders, we wouldn't be in this predicament today!

A single thought can lead to a world of difference; hesitation only brings more trouble!

Upon hearing this, the personal eunuch wanted to step forward to comfort him, but given the current situation, he didn't know what to say.

He simply stepped forward and respectfully placed the information from the front lines before Emperor Zhou.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Zhou picked it up and examined it. He clearly did not believe the demons mentioned in the text.

Emperor Zhou nodded. Upon seeing this, his personal eunuch bowed respectfully and left the hall.

"Ancestor, you are knowledgeable and experienced. Do you know if there are giant beasts over a hundred feet tall on the Chinese continent?"

Upon hearing this, the Great Zhou Ancestor immediately appeared inside the main hall, and the information in front of the Zhou Emperor automatically floated into the Ancestor's hand.

After examining it for a while, the old ancestor shook his head and sighed:

"This is something I have never heard of before. In the past few hundred years, apart from the deep sea, I have never seen such a behemoth!"

"I suppose this beast must be a secret technique of the Great Xia army. I once learned a little about it from an ancient book."

"I just didn't expect that this technique actually exists."

"According to the text, the barrier collapsed with a single blow from the giant beast, which shows that it is almost on par with a terrestrial immortal!"

The more the Great Xia Dynasty was exposed, the more the ancestor sighed that this person was truly a man of destiny.

With a constant stream of powerful beings at the terrestrial immortal realm, a plethora of reform proposals, and now even military secrets unknown to the world, what else could the Emperor of Great Xia be but a chosen one?

Throughout the thousands of years of history of the Chinese mainland, even the ancestor himself believed that there was no one else like Xia Taige.

The grandfather and grandson sighed, but there was nothing they could do but watch helplessly as the Great Xia army gradually swallowed up the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Following Bai Qi's army's invasion of the Zhou Dynasty, Li Jing's army also launched an attack on the Shang Dynasty.

Faced with Li Jing's army, the Shang Dynasty, like the Zhou Dynasty, was utterly powerless to resist.

Even though Li Jing's army was slightly weaker than Bai Qi's army, the Shang Dynasty still could not withstand it.

The Shang emperor could only watch helplessly as the army gradually marched towards the Shang Dynasty.

As the army advanced, Yuan Tiangang and Xiang Yutian, appointed by Xia Taige, also led their teams deep into the heart of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Great Shang Dynasty, respectively, to carry out devastating blows against various powerful clans.

With the combined might of these two terrestrial immortals, along with several grandmaster-level experts, it would be a catastrophic disaster for the powerful clans and aristocratic families.

Before the numerous powerful families could react, the two largest families of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Great Shang Dynasty were greeted by Yuan Tiangang and Xiang Yutian, respectively.

Facing two powerful figures at the Land Immortal Realm, the outcome for the two great families was predictable.

In less than half an hour, the two once-glorious families completely vanished into the annals of history.

The news of the destruction of the two great families spread throughout both dynasties in an instant.

Many powerful families realized that the experts of the Great Xia Dynasty had begun to make their move.

Judging from this move, the Great Xia Dynasty clearly had no intention of allowing the various powerful clans to survive.

In an instant, the entire Great Zhou Dynasty and the Great Shang Dynasty were plunged into a state of panic.

Following the destruction of the two powerful families, a piece of news plunged both dynasties into complete chaos.

After the Great Xia army conquered the city, all the powerful families, officials, and clerks in the city were purged by the Great Xia Dynasty.

This clearly indicates that not only powerful families and clans, but also local gentry, officials, and minor clerks are among the targets of the Great Xia's purge.

In an instant, whether they were powerful families, gentry, or minor officials, they all banded together for mutual support.

Once everyone realized that surrendering meant certain death, the only option left was resistance.

However, as time went by, Yuan Tiangang and Xiang Yutian did not stop their actions, eliminating the powerful families on the list one by one.

Such actions clearly indicate that time is running out for everyone. If no good solution is found, all aristocratic families and clans may disappear completely from the annals of history.

However, what methods do these powerful clans have to resist such a formidable terrestrial immortal?

It should be noted that the people who made the move this time were from the Great Xia Dynasty, not experts from the Great Zhou Dynasty or the Great Shang Dynasty.

No matter how far the powerful clans and aristocratic families extend, they cannot reach the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty and have no way to deal with it.

Compared to the Shang Dynasty and the Zhou Dynasty, the Xia Dynasty at this time had no weaknesses whatsoever.
