"What?"
The moment these words were spoken, the ten great families were shocked!
Not killed by the Skyhawk Martial Arts School?
Nor killed by Zhang Yang himself?
It was actually Lu Gong who killed them?
What was going on?
"Lu Gong, you're not joking with me, are you? Why are you helping this greenhorn who just entered Central Island? Did he say something nonsensical behind your back?" asked the Zhao family patriarch.
"Hmph! He didn't say anything nonsensical. What he says is always right! Because he is the most honored guest of Central Island!" Lu Gong snorted coldly.
What?
Everyone was shocked again!
The people from the Skyhawk Martial Arts School were actually the most honored guests of Central Island!
How was this possible?
Wasn't he just a nobody who climbed up from the martial arts competition?
"Lu Gong, you're not joking with me, are you?" the Zhao family patriarch trembled.
"Hmph! Joking? Then look at me now, am I joking!" Lu Gong suddenly sneered, and then the long spear in his hand struck out!
Clang!
With the surge of primal energy, the Zhao family patriarch, who was in the late stage of the Hunyuan realm, died on the spot.
Gulp!
The moment the Zhao family patriarch's head fell, the other nine family patriarchs were shocked!
But they didn't even have a chance to beg for mercy!
Because Zhang Yang had made his move!
Boom!
Zhang Yang's True Dragon Qi erupted from within him, striking fear and panic into everyone present.
"Someone just told me that the ten great families are the rules of Linhai City. Then today, I will completely break this damned rule! Die for me!"
Zhang Yang stepped out and threw a punch.
Instantly, terrifying True Dragon Qi swept through the entire venue!
The nine family patriarchs didn't even have the strength to resist, and they all died regrettably on the spot!
"Keep killing! Leave no one from the ten great families alive!" Zhang Yang's expression turned cold, and he did not stop there.
Wildfires cannot be completely extinguished; they grow again with the spring wind!
Since these people came with the ten family patriarchs today, they were definitely not good people!
Zhang Yang wanted to completely cut off the roots, to give the Skyhawk Martial Arts School a chance to develop with absolute safety!
"Yes!"
The members of the Ming Long Army immediately took action upon hearing this!
Everyone hurried to follow Zhang Yang into the fray.
Ten minutes later.
All the people from the ten great families present were dead!
The Skyhawk Martial Arts School and the onlookers not far away stared with wide eyes.
"Everyone from the ten great families is dead?"
"My heavens, this person from the Skyhawk Martial Arts School... is so powerful."
"It seems the Skyhawk Martial Arts School is about to rise, and Linhai City is in for a major reshuffle."
...
Clearly, the ten great families died too quickly, and no one had recovered their senses.
And in the crowd, a middle-aged man narrowed his eyes.
Although he was surprised by the outcome of the scene, he was even more surprised by what the Ming Long Army members had said earlier.
Zhang Yang!
He had actually become the most honored guest of Central Island. What exactly was going on?
Immediately.
He quickly took out his phone, intending to report this matter, when Zhu Zhi suddenly arrived!
"Hmph! You lackey of the current Emperor, you've finally shown your true colors!"
Zhu Zhi's appearance made the other party temporarily put down his phone and stare intently at the battle ahead!
As it turned out.
Zhang Yang suddenly sneered.
He guessed Zhu Zhi's intention, immediately restored his appearance, and then sneered.
"Heh, I didn't expect you to find out, but I'm not at a loss this time. I've killed the ten great families!"
"Hahaha! Those Japanese invaders deserve to die! It's a pity you exposed yourself too early!"
With that said.
Zhang Yang's True Dragon Qi erupted and surged towards Zhu Zhi.
Bang!
The two collided, and Zhu Zhi remained unmoved.
Zhang Yang was sent flying back, spitting blood.
Cough cough!
Zhang Yang coughed up blood, his face solemn.
"I didn't expect your strength to be so formidable. I miscalculated."
"Hmph! You not only miscalculated, but you will also die here today!" Zhu Zhi said angrily.
Then, he quickly charged towards Zhang Yang.
Bang!
Zhang Yang had no time to react and was hit by another palm from Zhu Zhi, his body rapidly flying backward.
After being sent flying, Zhang Yang did not hesitate and turned to flee.
Seeing this.
Zhu Zhi smiled and quickly ordered the Ming Long Army members to pursue!
"The opponent is at the end of his rope, hurry up and go! Chase him!"
"Yes, Great Elder!"
Lu Gong and the others also knew the inside story and immediately took orders to pursue Zhang Yang.
The Great Elder's arrival and powerful strike against Zhang Yang stunned everyone present.
Didn't they just say that Zhang Yang was the most honored guest of Central Island?
How could the Great Elder attack him in the blink of an eye?
"Everyone, the person just now was a spy sent by the current Emperor! I only discovered his disguise just now, which is why I attacked him!"
Zhu Zhi explained.
Upon hearing this, everyone finally reacted.
At this moment.
The remaining members of the ten great families also rushed from their homes and knelt before Zhu Zhi, crying.
"Great Elder, you must uphold justice for our ten great families! Our patriarch and the experts of our clans have died tragically!"
"Yes, Great Elder, our ten great families have always been loyal and supported Central Island, but we have met such a tragic end."
"We implore the Great Elder to uphold justice for us and help our ten great families return to their peak!"
At this point, the members of the ten great families still believed that Zhang Yang had killed them, which was why Zhu Zhi found Zhang Yang's disguise. Therefore, they still intended to seek justice!
But!
Their actions were completely seeking their own doom.
"Hmph, how dare you ask me to seek justice for you? Look at what you've all done over the years!"
"Monopolizing cultivation resources, suppressing other martial arts forces in Linhai City, wanting to dominate! Take the Skyhawk Martial Arts School as an example! You actually ganged up to bully a martial arts school!"
"Don't think I don't know about your little tricks! It's good that you've been wiped out this time!"
"Listen to me all, transmit the order from Central Island! I declare that from now on, there are no ten great families in Linhai City! There will be another martial arts competition at the end of the year!"
Zhu Zhi snorted coldly.
His decision instantly turned the faces of the ten great families ashen.
Just as they were about to beg for mercy, they were immediately driven away by those who came with Zhu Zhi.
Meanwhile, the other people in Linhai City cheered!
Central Island was going to reshuffle!
They also had a chance!
Instantly, everyone rushed back to inform their family heads, hall masters, and masters...
And the middle-aged man who had been secretly observing from the shadows also quietly left.
...
On the other side.
Zhang Yang, who had successfully escaped, touched the palm print on his chest and cursed Zhu Zhi inwardly for being too ruthless!
Did he really have to be so realistic when acting?
In fact, he couldn't blame Zhu Zhi. Zhu Zhi knew that the current Emperor was inherently suspicious, which was why he didn't hold back.
Moreover, he knew that Zhang Yang could definitely withstand it.
Suddenly.
A middle-aged man appeared before the fleeing Zhang Yang.
"Greetings, King of Jiangnan!"
The middle-aged man bowed respectfully to Zhang Yang!
"Who are you?" Zhang Yang's eyes narrowed, very vigilant.
"Reporting to the King of Jiangnan, I am the spy left in Linhai City by the Emperor. I saw you injured by Zhu Zhi just now, so I immediately rushed to help you escape Linhai City." the middle-aged man explained.
Hearing this.
Zhang Yang's eyes narrowed, and he secretly felt fortunate.
Fortunately, Zhu Zhi's acting was so realistic just now, otherwise, he might have been exposed!
"How can I trust you?"
The middle-aged man chuckled, then took out the Emperor's unique token.
"Shouldn't the King of Jiangnan doubt my identity now?"
Zhang Yang nodded, then followed the middle-aged man away along a small path...
