Chapter 356: Chapter 356: The Calamity of Annihilating a Door

Basic Force is the true measure of directly enhancing combat power!

Compared to the first three Basic Laws common in the Ten Thousand Realms, the Basic Force at the Small Success realm begins to reveal its extraordinary nature.

However, there is still a considerable distance compared to the peak realm of the First Layer Heaven...

Yet, the difficulty in deducing and perfecting the Basic Force was greater than he anticipated. Even after exhausting the Royal Secret Collection, he could not complete the Fifth Level.

Without top-tier divine skills, Zhu Haomiao could only turn his gaze toward the renowned sects of the Jianghu.

"I hope you rebellious folks won’t refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit..."

Gazing at the sky outside the window, the boy in black murmured softly in a voice as thin as a mosquito’s.

.........

"Master! All the eminent sects, even the Demon Sect, have received an imperial decree, demanding they turn over all secret manuals!"

"Isn’t this taking away everyone’s lifeline?"

"Has that young Emperor gone mad?"

...

In a celestial Daoist temple, a group of people gathered, indignant and denouncing, led by an elderly man with crane-white hair and youthful features, gently flicking his whisk, pinching his fingers as he frowned.

"The heavenly mechanism is in chaos, as if a great calamity is descending. We must respond cautiously."

"Disciple, go and contact the major sects. At this moment, we should unite and make our stance clear to the court."

"Yes."

Because of a domineering imperial decree, the entire Da Zhen Jianghu began to boil, with countless unruly sects starting to conspire, driving away the court’s emissaries with chaotic beatings.

However, this was still considered restrained. Some deviant sects even directly tortured the emissaries to death, then hung their disfigured bodies in prominent places, mocking the court’s arrogance.

.......

Jinyi Guard Central Station

Zhu Haomiao looked at a dozen pitifully dead bodies, slamming the table into powder with one palm, a violent and terrifying black light rolling in his eyes.

"Damn rebellious folks, dare to kill my people!!"

The group of Jinyi Guards standing around also had flames in their eyes, staring blankly at the boy in black, just waiting for his command.

"Gather the troops, I want to wash the entire Jianghu in blood and let these rebellious folks know what rules are!"

Upon hearing the words, the crowd responded fiercely, filing out.

On the other side, Zhu Haomiao went to the Imperial Palace to bid farewell to Zhao Nuo.

"Will you be gone for long?"

Looking at the little girl with big reluctant eyes, Zhu Haomiao shook his head gravely.

"I don’t know. It depends on whether those rebellious folks are sensible. If killing a chicken to warn the monkeys doesn’t make them submit, then I’ll have to slaughter them one by one."

"In the worst-case scenario, they might unite against the court..."

"If that happens, I may be forced to stir up a storm of blood and rain..."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Nuo blinked her eyes, contemplating as she looked at the boy.

"So, the Demon Suppression Prison you built is meant to deal with such situations?"

"Yes, there are always some self-important ants in the world. Once captured and imprisoned, they will realize their mistakes."

Smiling as he rubbed the little girl’s head, Zhu Haomiao turned away without hesitation.

Walking out of the Imperial City gate, the boy in black mounted a fine horse, gazing back at the towering city gate, silently murmuring in his heart.

"Wilson..."

"Present."

"Call upon me if needed, I shall descend..."

"Understood."

Having made arrangements, Zhu Haomiao led the way, with thousands of iron riders flowing out of the Imperial City like a torrent, charging menacingly into the distance.

A few days later, Zhu Haomiao reached the first target location, and wherever the army passed, it was like a scythe sweeping through, crushing over a dozen gangs of Green Forest Heroes along the way into minced meat.

Over a thousand robust men, filled with boundless murderous intent, sealed the area for dozens of miles around. Hearing the news, the disciples of the Joy Palace, facing a great enemy, all retreated to the main mountain.

"Believers in the Great Joy Buddha, they have roamed unchecked for over a hundred years, oppressing the people, producing countless lecherous fiends..."

Reading the intelligence reports, Zhu Haomiao’s expression was indescribable as he curled his lips.

"Trash like this dares to kill my people? What exactly gave them the courage?!"

Beside him, Dai Jinhong approached on horseback, whispered softly.

"Reporting, sir, the Joy Palace has a renowned First-grade Grandmaster still alive. It’s because of his fame that these people have stood firm for a hundred years."

"First-grade?"

Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao’s eyes lit up, instinctively licking his lips.

"Great, I need talents like that!"

Sparing no words, the boy in black waved his hand, and the fully armed Jinyi Guards lifted their longbows, unleashing a rain of arrows like a storm.

"Damn court dogs! No martial principles!"

The disciples guarding the strategic location, watching as a black cloud pressed toward them, were filled with despair.

Ting ting tang tang~

Various weapons were swung densely, but they couldn’t withstand the barrage of heavy arrows. After three volleys, only a group of porcupines remained.

"Seal off all exits, not a single fly is allowed to leave!"

"Yes!"

Seeing the boy in black stride alone onto the mountain path, several Jinyi Guard Thousand Households looked at each other.

"Sir, aren’t you taking us with you?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Haomiao glanced at them with disdain.

Share experiences with you all?

In your dreams!

"No need, stay outside and prevent any escapes!"

"..."

Which commander goes in alone to fight against many while subordinates watch the show outside?!

But under the boy’s ’oppressive might,’ no one dared to raise any objections, only watching helplessly as he disappeared around the mountain path bend.

Elsewhere, Zhu Haomiao quickly reached the mountainside, seeing from a distance several heavily-painted men and women anxiously watching.

"Stop! Who are you?!"

Not bothering to answer, the boy in black tapped his toe, transforming into a dark streak shooting toward them, scaring them into disarray.

"Enemy attack..."

The horrific screams were abruptly cut off. Their resistance before death didn’t even delay Zhu Haomiao for a second, as the sinister black light swept past like a gust of wind, freezing their actions instantly.

Several seconds later, their eyes wide open in death fell to the ground, the hot blood gushing like a fountain, dyeing several feet around bright red.

.......

"Ahhhh!"

"Ghost!"

"Senior brother, save me! Save me!"

"No! Don’t come near!"

Outside the decadent and luxurious palace at the mountain peak, a group of people, listening to the continuous spectral wailing from below, felt chills up their spines.

This speed was too fast!

Virtually breaking through strategic checkpoints without pause, even a Second Grade Master wouldn’t advance this smoothly!

"Hierarch! Go wake the patriarch, otherwise, we truly face extermination!"

Listening to the elder’s advice, the plump figure and kindly visage of the middle-aged man leading them hesitated momentarily, reluctantly nodding.

But not long after the disciple sent with the message left, the heavy closed wooden door explosively shattered, shards spraying like bullets, stabbing several nearby people into sieves.

Watching as several alluring disciples fell to the ground, the entire upper echelon felt as though they were stabbed through the heart.

These people were the backbone of the Joy Palace!

Even more, they were their dearest confidants!
