Chapter 74

The day after Li Wenfu's second speech, in the small courtyard of the Qiao family.

Several of the most prominent figures in Blue Sea were frowning as they examined the gifts sent to them: the heads of the two patriarchs of the Eighth Clan and the seven heads of the Eighty-Eight Noble Families. These were bloody, unblinking heads, their eyes still filled with terror and disbelief. Just a day ago, they were among the highest-ranking elites on this planet.

Qiao Banzhai was deep in thought.

Su Yuanliu was somewhat shocked, but his disciple Jin Ling remained calm, not surprised by the number of people killed in a single day.

Yu Shangyang's expression was also natural as he observed Qiao Banzhai's reaction.

Besides the three elders, several people who should not be sitting together were also in the room: the leader of the rebel army, Long Tu; the patriarch of the first family in Blue Sea, Wang Yi; the president of the Magic Association, Luo Hou; and the oldest member of the Magic Association, Yue Ding. Among them, only Jin Ling was not a Seven-Star Flying General level powerhouse. The Star Alliance had declared a war decree, and these figures who had crossed that threshold had already received a special letter.

They had not a month, not ten days, but only three days to settle their affairs before heading to the battlefield.

"I'm sorry, I'm late," Li Qifeng suddenly burst in as everyone was silent.

Seeing the six familiar heads on the table, he couldn't help but feel a chill. Some of these figures were not much weaker than himself. Li Wenfu and his revolutionary army had actually slaughtered them in a single day?

"Li Wenfu is determined to cleanse the entire First-Class Merit Citizen layer. They are now carrying out mass killings. Qifeng, do you think we old men should intervene?" Qiao Banzhai sighed deeply and continued, "We have always considered you and Jin Ling as successors. Today, you must also give your opinions. It's fortunate that Blue Sea has such talented young people with astonishing power. Unfortunately, they are now standing against the noble families."

The expressions of the others varied as they listened.

Long Tu then spoke, "If you don't move, I won't move. If you want to block, I will help. Du Nan inherited General Qin's unique skills; he must know something important. As a veteran of the shallow sea, I will do everything to help him. Otherwise, when Captain Lone Eagle returns, I won't have the face to see him."

With these words, the leader of the rebel army, Long Tu, made his stance clear.

He was a soldier of the Qin army in life and a ghost of the shallow sea in death.

"Li Wenfu cannot be touched; otherwise, the old men will also act," Yu Shangyang, who seemed to be under some kind of spell, always protected the bloodthirsty Li Wenfu. Perhaps in the heart of this interstellar traveler, a regime built on flowers was far less valuable than one built on blood. Blue Sea was about to change, and Li Wenfu, this 'mad leader,' was more suitable for the current era of interstellar colonization.

A fox-like leader was not suitable for the times; he needed a wolf to lead the situation.

"I won't intervene unless they target the people," Wang Yi stated, adding, "Even if they want to exterminate my entire Wang family, I won't care."

Hearing this, the others felt a chill and a deep respect.

Wang Yi had made it clear: if the new regime needed nourishment, he was willing to be the stepping stone.

"I won't intervene either," Su Yuanliu said, glancing at Jin Ling.

Jin Ling was his disciple, and Yin Ling was Jin Ling's sister. If he acted, Jin Ling would definitely protect her sister and oppose him. After 150 years, he had finally found such a talented disciple. He didn't want to ruin their master-disciple relationship over trivial matters.

"If you don't act, we won't intervene. If you act, we will. No one can kill; whoever kills, we will kill them," Luo Hou and Yue Ding also spoke.

Their stance was clear: they did not care about the political situation but would protect the Magic Warriors from falling.

Li Qifeng listened to everyone.

He glanced at Qiao Banzhai and said, "Old Qiao, I know you 'harm' Du Nan and exiled him once. You are the one who least wants to act. Today, I bring the military's stance: nine days from now, the Magic Warriors must move out. During these nine days, the military will not interfere with any current affairs but will focus on preparing to advance to the front line as quickly as possible."

"Um, I understand," Qiao Banzhai listened clearly and thought it through.

At this moment,

History was turning a new page. No matter what the powerful figures present said, deep down: they were not choosing justice or morality but a group of immature young wolves to replace a group of old foxes. Especially Wang Yi of the first family, who would rather feed the blood and flesh of his clan to these young wolves than continue to ally with a group of old foxes to maintain his superior status.

In an instant, Qiao Banzhai fully understood.

These people were the veterans of Blue Sea, the true gatekeepers. Their inaction was itself a form of 'action.'

"Is everyone thinking the same way? I am relieved. Old Yu, may I ask one more question, are they really not a problem?" Old Qiao asked.

After all,

They would leave in three days. Would the noble families counterattack?

"It's hard to say about the others, but as long as one person is there, everything will go smoothly," Yu Shangyang paused and slowly said, "She is Ye Binghua, a Six-Star Diamond-level newcomer. She is very strong, strong beyond imagination. She started from a one-star core and fused only zero-degree cores. One-star is zero-degree, two-star is zero-degree, and so on up to six-star, all are zero-degree cores."

"I've never heard of cores of different ranks having the same properties," Wang Yi said, puzzled.

"I've also never heard of different ranks having the same name," Luo Hou was also confused.

"Um, I find it even stranger, but it happened. Ye Binghua must know secrets we haven't heard of. Even more, there seems to be someone protecting her. Before each promotion, she mysteriously gains a zero-degree core, even in the insect beast inland," Yu Shangyang added, "In the competition, I could win her, but if she fought me to the death, I would die."

Sigh!

Yue Ding took a dramatic breath.

Then he asked strangely, "Old Yu, you have already reached the Seven-Star rank, haven't you?"

"Um, that's right. But I saw a nearly transparent Ye Binghua in a crowd of thousands of insect beasts. With a wave of her hand, she turned the insect swarm and half a mountain into an ice sculpture world. After that moment, I felt that if I fought her to the death, I would die," Yu Shangyang said seriously, without any exaggeration.

Everyone was speechless.

Thinking of that scene, they felt a chill down their spines.

This was probably the 'quietest' form of slaughter they had ever heard of in their two to three hundred years of life.

"The old Li of the Eighth Clan and the Iron Army of the Magic Association are both Six-Star rank. Yue Lin, Old Yue's son, is just a bit short of a Six-Star warrior. Add Li Wenfu's grandfather and uncles... Um, if Du Nan is indeed the one on the Magic Network, along with the five geniuses of the Silver Leaf, the noble families definitely won't stand a chance. Even if they unite, they can't match these monsters," Wang Yi summarized and was no longer worried.

In the Eighth Clan, he was a Seven-Star Li Yinglong, and the other six patriarchs were Six-Star rank. Among the Eighty-Eight Noble Families, only three reached the Six-Star rank.

More unfortunately,

Li Wenfu's grandfather, Li Xinggong, was one of them, with a Six-Star Tsunami core, a veteran skilled in group battles.

The noble families' chances of a comeback? In their next life.

I think Du Nan alone could take down these figures... Qiao Lao wanted to say but ultimately held back. He felt Du Nan's physical techniques were higher than his own but couldn't verify it. After all, there were no Seven-Star physical technique practitioners in the entire Blue Star Alliance. If he said that, no one might believe him. A seventeen-year-old child, the only one in Blue Star?

Better not to say it.

At this moment,

In the major cities of Blue Sea, one bloody massacre after another was continuing.

The people remained leisurely.

Shopping, dating, laughing... the blood from the nearby mansions and estates filled their noses, but they seemed to have lost their sense of smell. After repeated panic reports and emergency rescues, the people had become numb. The once high and mighty noble families were now like stray dogs, fleeing in all directions.

And behind them, relentless warriors pursued.

No threats, no pleas for mercy, no bribes—none of these common tactics worked. The warriors wanted only their heads, nothing else.

At first,

When the people saw this, they screamed and fled.

Later, they got used to it. The warriors acted like blind men, completely ignoring the existence of the people. Their blades always targeted the members of the noble families. Some noble family members tried to use the people as shields to save their lives. Unfortunately, the warriors had some unknown and mysterious methods to remove their heads without harming the people, as if they had been trained for such situations.

On the seventh day,

Except for the Eighth Clan's Wang Li and four noble families, which the fat man announced would not be killed, almost no more voices from the noble families could be heard.

The spokesperson for the government was strangled by the fat man in a live broadcast five days ago.

The president's head hung on the flagpole in front of the presidential palace.

On the afternoon of the eighth day,

The fat man appeared before the entire population again. He displayed over three hundred heads, including the six patriarchs of the Eighth Clan, the heads of the Eighty-Eight Noble Families, numerous government officials, and a large number of well-known merchants and tycoons.

Behind him stood only one young man wearing a rimless glasses.

"Good afternoon, everyone. It's me, the fat man, Li Wenfu. Over these eight days, I believe everyone knows what has happened. Today, the fat man will give you an account and formally announce that the old Blue Sea era has ended. All the traitors who betrayed Blue Sea have been slaughtered. The remaining mess can only be cleaned up by the Eighth Clan's Wang Li and the four noble families. The fat man will head to a new battlefield tomorrow."

"Here, the fat man has one thing to say. Today's massacre was not against the noble families but... against anyone who betrays Blue Sea. If you do such a thing tomorrow and the fat man is still alive, the fat man's blade will also come for you. The Red Dragon Federation's account, the fat man will remember for now. When I return, I will settle it immediately, no peace talks."

"Everyone, don't worry. The matter is over, and nothing has changed. Life continues, benefits remain; work as usual, date as usual, sleep with your wives, and discipline your children. In short, the fat man will not change anything. The only thing missing is a group of vampires who rode on everyone's heads."

"When the fat man returns victorious, we will celebrate together. Goodbye, everyone. Tonight, you can sleep soundly."

The program aired.

Blue Sea was completely reshuffled, the old gone, the new arrived.

The various forces that had been secretly watching were now in a headache. Impossible! Absolutely impossible! The combined strength of the Eighth Clan's six families and the Eighty-Four Noble Families was almost five times that of Li Wenfu's side. The Seven-Star guardians had already moved to the front line, with no reinforcements. In just nine days, they could not possibly completely clear out the old regime's foundation. According to the strength ratio, the noble families should have annihilated them in nine days.

Now, they had done it.

What secret power did Li Wenfu's side hide? What trump card did they have?

"We need the Silver Leaf team's first battle recording on the insect front, at any cost." The various forces, unable to understand, issued the same order.
