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

Seeing this, the giant beast did not strike with its massive paw at him, but instead headed straight for the ancestor.

The next moment, it was clear that the giant hand formed from the spiritual energy of the Great Zhou Ancestor could not cause the slightest harm to the giant beast.

It could only barely block its form for a moment before the giant beast burst forth from its palm.

As it approached the Great Zhou Ancestor, the giant beast suddenly raised its right claw and swung it at him.

Seeing this, the old ancestor dared not resist and his figure instantly disappeared under the right claw.

Upon seeing this, the giant beast followed closely behind the Great Zhou Ancestor.

The man and the beast chased each other, disappearing from time to time over the capital.

A moment later, the Great Zhou Ancestor realized that things couldn't continue like this.

The next moment, as the figure of the Great Zhou Ancestor disappeared multiple times, more and more giant swords formed from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth appeared between his figures.

As more and more giant swords appeared, they began to spin, like a hurricane, heading straight for the giant beast.

Seeing this, the behemoth showed no intention of defending itself, and swung its giant claws toward the ancestor with a fierce gale.

Upon seeing this, the Great Zhou Ancestor felt utterly hopeless.

As the two clashed, the giant sword and the giant beast made a metallic clang, but the giant beast was unharmed.

On the other hand, when the Great Zhou Ancestor swung his right claw, a fierce gale suddenly burst forth from his body.

The Great Zhou Ancestor's body was instantly torn into four pieces, which scattered onto the city wall below.

Upon seeing this, Emperor Zhou's eyes immediately filled with tears as he stared blankly at the corpse of the Great Zhou Ancestor lying before him.

The remaining soldiers scattered immediately, and even the officials who originally intended to live and die with the Great Zhou Dynasty fled straight to the rear of the capital.

Faced with the behemoth's immense power, everything else pales in comparison.

At this point, the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty was completely undefended and within easy reach of Bai Qi's army.

"Attack! Break through the city!" Bai Qi decisively gave the order upon seeing the situation.

The next moment, the thunderous drumbeats grew even more rapid as the army approached the capital.

With the first batch of soldiers entering the capital, the Great Zhou Dynasty, which had existed for hundreds of years, was now merely a name without substance.

When Bai Qi stepped onto the city wall, the Zhou emperor had not yet recovered from the death of his ancestor and the fall of the Great Zhou.

It wasn't until Bai Qi walked right up to him that the Zhou Emperor came to his senses.

Bai Qi looked at the Zhou emperor, who was filled with despair, shook his head, drew the sword from his waist, and threw it in front of the emperor.

"This general is not fit to be stained with the blood of an emperor. I beg the Emperor of Great Zhou to commit suicide!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhou glanced at Bai Qi with a hint of gratitude, thanking him for saving his last shred of dignity.

The Zhou Emperor had already foreseen this scene when he launched his campaign against the Great Xia.

As an emperor, he obviously could not afford to flee. Now that he has committed suicide in the capital, it can be considered a dignified act.

Emperor Zhou stepped forward, picked up the sword, looked at Bai Qi, and pleaded:

"I hope that Your Excellency will allow me and my ancestor to be laid to rest after my death!"

Having said that, without waiting for Bai Qi's response, Emperor Zhou used his last strength to commit suicide on the spot.

Looking at the corpse of Emperor Zhou before him, Bai Qi silently nodded, then looked down over the entire capital and gave his orders:

"I will obey your command!"

"Your subordinate is here!" Yu Xiu stepped forward and bowed upon hearing this.

"Order Yu Xiu to lead the Zhenwu Division and the main army to attack the imperial city. Within the imperial city, leave no member of the royal family alive!"

"Order to investigate all of the Zhou Emperor's sons and heirs. If any of them escape, immediately order the Tianji Pavilion in various regions to arrest them, ensuring that no one is left behind."

"After this is over, let's bury the Zhou family together!"

Out of humanitarian considerations, Bai Qi decided to bury the Zhou emperor's family together, as a sign of respect for his status as an emperor.

"Yes!" Everyone bowed in response.

"The remaining troops, the Imperial Guards, and all guest ministers shall immediately seal off the capital. No one is allowed to enter or leave until the dust settles!"

"Furthermore, with the Embroidered Uniform Guard as the leader and the various guest advisors as assistants, we will confiscate the homes of all the officials in the capital who are oppressing the people!"

"The powerful clans and officials, including minor clerks, will be beheaded one by one, based on intelligence gathered by the Zhenwu Division!"

"Order the messenger to send this news of victory to the capital at top speed, and have officials come to fill the vacancy!"

"Yes!" everyone immediately responded.

As Bai Qi issued his orders, shouts of battle and screams of agony filled the entire capital.

The capital city is unlike any other place. As the seat of a dynasty's regime, it is bound to be a melting pot of all sorts of people, and it would take the army several days just to eliminate them.

Moreover, the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty is such an important place that it certainly needs a high-ranking official from the Great Xia Dynasty to be stationed there.

All these things will obviously take several days to complete.

The capital city of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Several fast horses galloped over the gates of the capital, shouting all the way: "Great victory at the front! The capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty has fallen! The Emperor of Great Zhou is dead! A great victory!"

Wherever the messenger went, the entire capital city's inhabitants immediately shouted:

"The Great Xia Dynasty is mighty!"

In an instant, the morale of the people in the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty soared like never before!

Inside the imperial city, Xia Taige had already received news of the fall of the Great Zhou imperial city, and he was not surprised at all.

The matter of sending messengers was also deliberately orchestrated by Xia Taige, who intended to use it to intimidate the prestige of the Great Xia Dynasty.

At this moment, the Imperial Study was filled with members of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the Zhenwu Division, and the Cabinet.

With the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty captured, it was natural to send people to take over in order to restore people's livelihoods as soon as possible.

"Zhuge Kongming, listen to my command!" Xia Taige pondered for a moment, then looked at the people in front of him and gave the order.

"Your humble servant is here!" Zhuge Kongming stepped forward.

"You are hereby appointed as the highest administrative official within the Great Zhou Dynasty, in charge of all affairs within the Great Zhou!"

"Lead 100,000 imperial guards to the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"We must stabilize the situation and restore people's livelihoods as quickly as possible!"

The system is not yet unified, and Xia Taige has not yet determined the organizational structure of the Great Zhou.

Originally, Xia Taige envisioned that after unification, the lands of the three kingdoms would be divided into nine provinces.

The division of responsibilities and duties can only be carried out after unification.

"Yes! Your Majesty's command is my due!" Zhuge Kongming bowed and replied.

"Ji Gang, obey my command!"

"Your humble servant is here!" Ji Gang stepped forward upon hearing the order.

"You are hereby appointed as the Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard within the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, responsible for supervising all officials within the Great Zhou territory."

"During the unification of the Three Kingdoms, anyone who dared to take advantage of the chaos would be executed without mercy."

The larger the territory, the more difficult the regulation becomes, especially during the current chaotic period.

Within the Great Zhou territory, there is naturally a need for someone with exceptional abilities to oversee the situation.

"Yes! Your Majesty, I will certainly live up to your expectations!" Ji Gang replied with a bow.

Upon hearing this, Xia Taige nodded, looked at the two of them, and instructed them:

"There are many matters to attend to this time. With this decree, you may transfer a servant from the Hall of Worship to accompany the two of you to your new posts!"

After saying that, Xia Taige handed the token to Cao Zhengchun.

"Your Majesty, we thank you for your great kindness!" Upon hearing this, the two felt somewhat relieved.
