The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

"I am already aware of this matter."

Chu Xiu waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go down."

After saying this, Chu Xiu fell from the sky.

"Yes."

Wei Wuxian responded and followed Chu Xiu to the outside of the Yang residence.

Where is the commander of the Imperial Guard in Hongnong Commandery?

Chu Xiu said calmly.

The voice just fell.

A commander of the Imperial Guards led a group of Imperial Guards officers who appeared from a distance.

"Greetings to the Marquis."

The commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard bowed to Chu Xiu with utmost respect.

"No need to be polite."

Chu Xiu waved his hand and spoke to the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis."

The commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard bowed and expressed his gratitude.

"I entrust the entire matter of confiscating the Yang family's property to you."

"You must clear out all the gold, silver, treasures, house deeds, land deeds, shops, and other valuables in the entire Yang mansion."

“We can recruit laborers to transport all the valuables to our Embroidered Uniform Guard headquarters.”

Chu Xiu pondered for a moment, then spoke to the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard spoke with a respectful expression.

"Wei Wuxian, I have another list here."

"Send men to all the places listed on the list and arrest them all."

Chu Xiu nodded slightly, took out a slip of paper from his sleeve, handed it to Wei Wuxian, and said, "Remember, don't miss anyone!"

The names on this list are naturally those of officials of all ranks who are affiliated with the Yang family of Hongnong.

only.

This list only includes officials in the various prefectures of Sizhou, and does not include officials in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty who were affiliated with the Hongnong Yang clan.

"My lord, should we execute all these people, or..."

After considering it for a moment, Wei Wuxian asked Chu Xiu.

"Try to capture them alive. There's no need to exterminate their entire families. Just arrest them all and send them back to the Ministry of Justice prison."

"Of course, if they dare to resist, we'll kill them."

"I grant you permission to act as you see fit."

"Ximen Jue should have already sent people to these people's residences."

"You are only responsible for arresting people; the confiscation of their property is the job of the Embroidered Uniform Guard."

Chu Xiu said calmly.

After all, there were too many officials to arrest. The Hongnong Yang clan's influence throughout the entire Sili Prefecture was deeply entrenched, involving officials of all ranks in various prefectures.

If it were just officials, sending them to the Imperial Guard prison would be nothing special.

However, if we include the families of these people, even the Imperial Guard prison wouldn't be enough to accommodate them.

However, the task of confiscating property certainly cannot be entrusted to Wei Wuxian; otherwise, would the confiscated gold and silver be sent to the national treasury?

They will definitely all be sent to his Embroidered Uniform Guard.

"You will finally understand."

Wei Wuxian said with a look of understanding on his face.

"In addition, you must leave a group of people to cut off the heads of all the direct descendants of the Hongnong Yang family in the Yang Mansion and send them to the Meridian Gate for public display."

Chu Xiu nodded slightly and reminded Wei Wuxian.

"The general will obey the order!"

Wei Wuxian said with a solemn expression.

"Qinchuan."

Chu Xiu nodded and said in a deep voice.

"The general is here!"

Qin Chuan stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Chu Xiu.

"Summon 10,000 Imperial Guards and have them accompany me to the Heavenly Sword Sect."

Chu Xiu looked in the direction of the Heavenly Sword Sect and said calmly.

He had wanted to deal with the Heavenly Sword Sect for a long time.

However, we didn't have enough strength before, but now we can take down the Heavenly Sword Sect!

The Heavenly Sword Sect is the largest sect in Sizhou and a true holy land of swordsmanship.

The Heavenly Sword Sect has a close relationship with the Yang Clan of Hongnong.

Since Empress Murong Si has already taken action against the Hongnong Yang clan, even exterminating Yang Yan and the ancestral homeland of the Hongnong Yang clan.

He naturally couldn't possibly refrain from taking action against the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Otherwise, once the Heavenly Sword Sect learns of this, they will surely evacuate the entire Heavenly Sword Sect from Sizhou.

Based on the relationship between the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Yang Clan of Hongnong.

The sect leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect would never believe that the Great Zhou Dynasty would refrain from taking action against their sect after eliminating Yang Yan and others.

Once the Heavenly Sword Sect escapes, where can they go?

It goes without saying that he would definitely go to Xuzhou to seek refuge with Yang Xuance, the governor of Xuzhou.

If the Heavenly Sword Sect is not crushed, it will only strengthen Yang Xuance's power, which Chu Xiu will never allow.

Therefore, the Heavenly Sword Sect must be eradicated!

"My lord, do you intend to take action against the Heavenly Sword Sect?"

"My lord, the Heavenly Sword Sect is incredibly powerful, and it is by no means inferior to Yang Yan, or even the entire ancestral land of the Yang family in Hongnong."

"It might even be worse!"

Qin Chuan's expression changed slightly, and he said urgently, "To be on the safe side, should we send someone to the Imperial Observatory to invite the Imperial Preceptor to go to the Heavenly Sword Sect with us?"

"No need."

"A mere Heavenly Sword Sect doesn't require the Imperial Preceptor to personally intervene."

"Moreover, I was already prepared."

Chu Xiu smiled slightly and said, "My Jinyiwei has more than 9,000 elite troops who have already rushed to Fufeng County at the fastest speed."

They should already be waiting in Fufeng County by now!

You will lead ten thousand Imperial Guards to accompany me to the Heavenly Sword Sect. Your only responsibility is to surround the Heavenly Sword Sect.

"I will lead my nine thousand elite Imperial Guards to handle the matter of wiping out the entire Heavenly Sword Sect."

Not bad.

The Heavenly Sword Sect is located in the Qianshan Mountains of Fufeng County.

The entire Qianshan mountain range is vast and boundless, and the Heavenly Sword Sect is located on the largest peak of the Qianshan mountain range.

After establishing their sect in the Qianshan Mountains, the Heavenly Sword Sect named this mountain Heavenly Sword Mountain.

"Your Excellency is wise!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Chuan's eyes lit up, and he said with admiration on his face.

Chu Xiu's true strength is already so terrifying.

If we were to add the more than nine thousand elite Jinyiwei (Imperial Guards) forming a killing blade formation, then even wiping out the entire Tianjian Sect would be an easy task.

Even the Imperial Preceptor Qi Tianchen is far from being a match for Chu Xiu, who is empowered by the Jinyiwei's Killing Blade Formation, right?

Knowing that Chu Xiu had already made arrangements, he was completely relieved.

This is a sacred place of swordsmanship with an incredibly long history!

But today, this sacred place of swordsmanship is also about to be completely destroyed!

Chu Xiu smiled calmly, waved to Qin Chuan and the others, and remained silent.

Qin Chuan and the others bowed and then quickly left.

at this time.

"Congratulations, host, for destroying the ancestral land of the Yang clan in Hongnong and for your persistent efforts in doing positive things. You have been rewarded with ninety years of human immortal power and the peak of the eighth level of the Undying Golden Body Technique."

"Do you want to receive the reward?"

The mechanical voice of the positive energy system rang in Chu Xiu's mind.

"Receive your reward."

Chu Xiu was overjoyed and said it in his mind without hesitation.

Ninety years of human immortal power is enough to allow his internal cultivation to reach the peak of the ninth level of the human immortal realm.

The peak of the eighth level of the Undying Golden Body Technique corresponds to the peak of the ninth level of the Human Immortal Realm in terms of external martial arts cultivation.

He will soon become a master who has cultivated both internal and external strengths and reached the peak of the ninth level of the Human Immortal Realm!

In an instant!

An immense power of human immortality appeared in Chu Xiu's dantian. The Shangqing Divine Art automatically activated, absorbing and refining the power of human immortality for ninety years, allowing his cultivation level to naturally advance from the peak of the eighth level of human immortality to the peak of the ninth level of human immortality.

A mysterious power, seemingly containing the power of creation, merged into Chu Xiu's body, allowing his Undying Golden Body Technique to reach the peak of the eighth level.

Not long after.

"Reporting to the Marquis, this humble general has gathered all the soldiers and is ready to depart for the Heavenly Sword Sect at any time."

Qin Chuan led ten thousand imperial guards to Chu Xiu and bowed respectfully to him.
