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

The people below felt the blood raining down on them and dared not move an inch.

The methods used by the Ji family patriarch to perish were unheard of by anyone.

Faced with Yuan Tiangang, a powerful figure at the terrestrial immortal realm, everyone could only hope that he would show mercy.

Although such ideas were naive, everyone was at their wits' end.

Looking at the terrified crowd below, Yuan Tiangang had no desire to play with them anymore.

The next moment, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surrounded everyone, and everyone in the courtyard turned into blood mist and disappeared into the courtyard.

Not long after the people in the courtyard disappeared, Yuan Tiangang's men arrived belatedly.

Seeing the small courtyard covered in blood, everyone rushed forward and bowed in respect.

"grown ups!"

On the rooftop, Yuan Tiangang looked at the crowd, his authoritative voice resounding:

"Break the whole into smaller groups, each led by a Grandmaster, and head to the various prefectures and counties that have not yet been occupied."

"Upon arrival, order the Tianji Pavilions in various regions to send people to assist in locating the remaining members of the aristocratic families and clans, and eliminate them one by one!"

The more chaotic the situation became, the less information the Zhenwu Division's spies could transmit.

The fastest way to completely eliminate these so-called aristocratic families is still through the calculations of the Tianji Pavilion people in various regions.

Yuan Tiangang didn't need to think much about these fleeing aristocratic families; they were undoubtedly fleeing along the direction the army was advancing.

"Yes!" The crowd bowed in response.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Tiangang's figure disappeared from the rooftop, and the people below also made their own assignments and headed towards their respective destinations.

Meanwhile, in the capital city of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Bai Qi's 200,000-strong army was already at the city gates.

On the city wall of the capital, Emperor Zhou and the Great Zhou Ancestor looked at the well-organized army in front of them and felt a strange sense of emotion.

"With such an army in Great Xia, what worries do we have about not achieving our great cause!" Emperor Zhou knew that with the strength of the capital, it was clearly impossible to resist Bai Qi's army advancing.

Even with the addition of the Great Zhou Ancestor, the situation remains the same.

At this point, the fact that the Great Xia Dynasty did not send any experts to assassinate the Great Zhou patriarch clearly demonstrates that the Great Xia Dynasty has great confidence in the army before it.

Otherwise, the Great Zhou Ancestor and the Great Zhou Royal Family would probably be dead by now.

Where else could one have the chance to witness a scene that would overturn the world's understanding?

Upon hearing this, the Great Zhou Ancestor did not respond, but stared blankly at the army in front of him, seemingly lost in thought.

Moments later, the drums of the army outside the capital sounded loudly, and Emperor Zhou and his men immediately knew that the horn of attack had been sounded.

The next moment, an endless army of 200,000 men, under the command of the drums, marched step by step toward the capital.

Above the army, a colossal beast, resembling a tiger or a lion, once again appeared.

On the city walls of the capital, Emperor Zhou witnessed the appearance of the behemoth for the first time.

Now I understand why the rumors say that there are demons helping the Great Xia army.

Judging from the behemoth before us, what else could it be but a demon?

At this moment, knowing he was doomed, Emperor Zhou felt no fear. He stared intently at the giant beast in the sky, admiring it even more.

Unlike the Zhou emperor, the soldiers guarding the city walls and the officials who were willing to live and die with the Shang dynasty felt a chill run down their spines as they looked at the gigantic beast that exuded a murderous aura.

Given the sheer size of this beast, it was truly impossible for anyone to know how to contend with it.

At this moment, the Great Zhou Ancestor's eyes gleamed. Since life and death were already predetermined, the Ancestor suddenly felt the urge to fight the giant beast in front of him.

The next moment, the Great Zhou Ancestor's body surged with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and his figure floated into the air, standing horizontally above the city wall of the capital, echoing the giant beast from afar.

This move by the Great Zhou Ancestor clearly gave hope to the defending troops and their officials.

In everyone's mind, the experts at the Land Immortal Realm are already the most powerful beings in the world.

As the ancestor exerted his full effort, more and more spiritual energy from heaven and earth surged towards him.

A colossal sword slowly took shape before the patriarch. Several months ago, the patriarch used the same technique to fight against the Buddha of the Great Thunderclap Temple.

Now, this sword has reappeared to fight against the enemies invading the Great Zhou.

Upon seeing this, Yu Xiu, who was part of Bai Qi's army, immediately wanted to volunteer for battle.

"General, this person must be the ancestor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Should I go and test him?"

Since joining the army on the expedition, Yu Xiu has had no real opportunity to distinguish himself except for eliminating the Grandmaster-level experts who resisted in the city.

Now that a powerful being at the Land Immortal Realm is in the air, even though he is no match for him in terms of current strength, he still wants to step forward and give it a try.

Upon hearing this, Bai Qi, who was still gazing at the Great Zhou Ancestor, pondered for a moment and then shook his head.

"Forget it, I should save my energy for dealing with the people in the capital!"

"When the city falls, even with a large army, it will clearly be somewhat insufficient!"

Bai Qi was still somewhat worried about him. Looking at the giant sword that was dozens of feet long in front of him, he thought that Yu Xiu might not be his match.

Why risk going and trying? If you get injured, wouldn't you be missing someone to help you after you take the capital?

Given the complex situation in the capital, the main army certainly cannot take action; it will still be necessary for the officials of the Imperial Palace, the Guest Ministers' Palace, and the Zhenwu Division to go and eliminate the threat.

At most, the army can only send people to assist from the sidelines, which is not very effective.

Now that Li Changsheng has gone with Ran Min's army, he is the only terrestrial immortal in the army. If he were to perish under the giant sword, wouldn't that slow down the army's progress?

This situation was clearly not what Bai Qi wanted to see.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiu understood Bai Qi's concerns, so although he was unwilling, he did not insist too much.

At the same time, the giant beast in mid-air also sensed a threat. It assumed an attack stance, its two lantern-like eyes fixed on the Great Zhou Ancestor in front of it.

The next moment, the giant sword, poised to strike, was controlled by the Great Zhou Ancestor and headed straight for the giant beast in mid-air.

Upon seeing this, the behemoth seemed to possess humanity, its eyes narrowing as it unleashed a black beam of light that shot straight towards the giant sword.

The two met in mid-air, and a deafening roar echoed throughout the entire capital city.

Then, the giant sword and its black beam of light vanished into thin air.

Upon seeing this, the Great Zhou Ancestor's heart tightened, and his face showed a solemn expression.

Clearly, the beast's power far exceeded his expectations.

Such a powerful, all-out attack was easily blocked by the giant beast.

The crowd below the Great Zhou Ancestor also felt despair, as the difference in strength between the two sides was obvious to the naked eye.

As the giant sword disappeared, the giant beast crouched slightly, then suddenly shot towards the ancestor in mid-air.

Its enormous form, accompanied by a powerful gust of wind, caused chaos and disarray among the guards and officials on the city wall.

Upon seeing the giant beast approaching, the ancestor dared not be careless in the slightest. He transformed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into an invisible hand and slapped it towards the giant beast.
