Three hours later.
Chu Tian and others gathered north of Binhai City.
They were arranged in a fan formation.
From the south of Binhai City.
All the way to the north.
Once everyone had arrived.
Chu Tian first took out a spatial bag.
And said.
"Take them out, let's count how many there are!"
As he spoke, he poured the spatial bag.
Downwards.
Clatter.
Countless heads, like watermelons,
Fell to the ground.
"I killed 712!"
Even Chu Tian was shocked when he said this.
He never imagined.
That there were so many martial artists.
Of course, among them were mutants and espers, and even Caucasians.
If he had killed so many, he believed Old Yang and the others would have killed even more.
Indeed.
After Old Yang, Wei Du, and the others emptied their spatial bags.
They reported their respective numbers.
When Chu Tian finally tallied the total.
He was severely shocked.
"How can there be so many? A total of 13,872 people!
And this is just in Binhai City!"
This was merely a tiny fraction of Liaoning Province.
And before Chu Tian were not only Old Yang and the others.
But also some personnel from the Ninth Office who were on assignment here.
Chu Tian and his group had encountered them while eliminating martial artists.
There had even been a minor conflict just now.
The Ninth Office's mission was not to execute,
But to capture.
Old Yang had encountered them at that time.
Later, Chu Tian rushed over.
And revealed his identity.
Only then did these people retreat behind them.
The name Chu Tian had become quite famous within the Ninth Office.
Who was it that allowed the neutral faction to regain control?
Who was it that reorganized the Ninth Office, making it the guardian force once more?
Although Chu Tian was still only in Shengjing City.
Many people had not yet returned.
Precisely because they were few in number.
They had united as one.
And because of their ideology.
Their mission speed during this Liaoning Province riot was not as fast as Chu Tian's.
They were still capturing and detaining.
How could they be like Chu Tian, slicing through them like vegetables?
Moreover, Chu Tian had so many skilled subordinates.
These people looked at the mountain of heads piled up before them.
Their eyes flickered with various emotions.
Those with more conservative thoughts felt compassion.
Those who were slightly more radical were excited.
The way they looked at Chu Tian also differed between these two groups.
Some slowly shook their heads.
Feeling that Chu Tian had acted too excessively.
Others, however, admired him.
They wondered if, were Chu Tian to lead the Ninth Office.
It would be possible to eliminate such pedantry.
Of course, these people were only a very small portion.
They were mostly descendants of former neutral faction members, belonging to the younger generation.
The Ninth Office now had stricter recruitment criteria.
Background checks went back three generations.
This was the most basic requirement.
As these people's expressions varied.
Chu Tian issued an order to Sui Xing.
"Connect to all networks within the province, all streets, public screens.
Force all televisions to turn on, all computers to broadcast. I want to speak."
[Beep beep beep... Command received, preparing to invade network systems!]
[Beep beep beep... Invasion successful! Live broadcast commencing!]
The watch on Chu Tian's arm.
Glowed with blue light.
Covering a radius of one hundred meters centered on Chu Tian.
At this very moment, throughout Liaoning Province.
The public screens on the streets, which had been displaying advertisements for various shopping malls.
Although there were no people on the streets.
These advertisements were still being played on loop.
And at this instant, the screens flickered.
The image that appeared was Chu Tian.
Simultaneously, all televisions, computers, mobile phones, and tablets in every household!
Even the door viewers installed in homes!
The devices used to see who was ringing the doorbell!
The screens all lit up.
It should be said that any device with a screen.
Displayed the same image.
In the past two days, Liaoning Province had been invaded by martial artists.
There were almost no people on the streets.
Almost everyone had been held hostage by martial artists.
Some martial artists had even occupied over a dozen households, with the stronger ones occupying hundreds or even thousands of households.
Just like in Binhai City, which they had just cleared.
It was now noon.
The streets should have been bustling with activity.
But it felt as if the entire city had become an empty shell.
During this process, they encountered many powerful individuals.
Who had occupied entire residential complexes or several complexes.
Some powerful individuals had even gathered these people's virtual pods.
And established formations.
To prevent the leakage of spiritual energy.
Imagine tens of thousands, thousands of people exiting their virtual pods simultaneously.
The spiritual energy emitted would be incredibly dense.
If every household had a martial artist.
Chu Tian and his group might have killed not just over 13,800.
But millions.
These so-called martial arts powerhouses.
At this time, they were like lords, lounging in ordinary people's homes.
Enjoying air conditioning.
Watching television.
These individuals, who had originally cultivated in seclusion in the mountains.
Suddenly experiencing such modern comforts.
They were all exceptionally content.
However, in an instant, all the screens.
Were replaced by Chu Tian.
They were immediately bewildered.
The broadcast switched across several channels, all showing the same image.
Just then, Chu Tian spoke.
"Now, I command all personnel of the Ninth Office and the eight great families carrying out missions, to immediately execute all martial artists who have invaded civilian residences!
Regardless of whether any harm has been done, all ordinary people are to be killed on the spot.
Binhai City has now been cleared.
A total of 13,872 martial artists, espers, and mutants have been killed!"
Chu Tian paused after speaking.
And displayed a cruel smile.
He continued to say.
"As for those beasts who harmed ordinary people, you might not know who I am, but you must have heard of the Ninth Office, the former Elder Xu, right?
That old geezer, I'm the one who killed him!
My surname is Chu, my given name is Tian!
You can also call me Third Master Chu!
Perhaps you don't believe what I just said.
Then let me show you my spoils of war!"
As Chu Tian spoke, the screen suddenly shifted.
Revealing a terrifying, bloody small mountain made of human heads.
The image moved continuously.
Many of the heads showed expressions of fear and despair.
These scenes were all captured in close-up.
