MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again-Chapter 1314 - 291: The Ruthless Zhongding Martial God
The command given by the Zhongding Martial God made even his most loyal Guard Commander wrinkle his brow slightly, feeling uncomfortable. If this order is carried out, who knows how many families and forces will oppose it.
It is absolutely impossible not to oppose it. Such registration and record-keeping mean revealing all the foundations of their family entirely.
Who would be willing to do such a thing? Exposing everything about oneself means putting one’s entire life and fortune in someone else’s hands.
Looking at the two hesitant Guard Commanders, the Zhongding Martial God furrowed his brow and said, "What’s wrong? Is there anything else you need to report?"
"No, it’s just..."
The Zhongding Martial God, being an experienced and wise person, naturally understood what the other party wanted to say and interrupted: "If there’s nothing else, then go ahead and execute my command. Let Huang Yuanrong lead the execution. That’s it, leave now!"
Seeing that the Zhongding Martial God had made up his mind, the two Guard Commanders could only bow and retreat.
With the issuance of the Zhongding Martial God’s political order, it immediately caused an uproar in the seemingly stable Zhongding Domain.
Countless voices of opposition arose from the court, and they submitted memorials to the Zhongding Martial God, requesting the repeal of this decree.
But the Zhongding Martial God, with his words of authority, could hardly rescind an order. Those memorials were all thrown away without a glance. How to avoid the on-the-spot appeals in the court? Simply and straightforwardly announce seclusion for cultivation, avoiding court affairs altogether.
Being tasked to oversee this work, Huang Yuanrong felt overwhelmed. Damn it, this was definitely the most arduous and thankless task in the Zhongding Domain for centuries. Even his own family repeatedly asked to be excluded. Huang Yuanrong could only present a few Martial Kings and Martial Emperors from the family publicly. If he dared to expose any of the family’s foundations, he would lose his status as a Huang family disciple.
Not even able to persuade his own family, it was even less possible with other families.
Therefore, Huang Yuanrong entered the Imperial Palace three times, requesting to see the Zhongding Martial God and expressing his inability to undertake this responsibility, hoping to resign in favor of someone else.
However, the Zhongding Martial God refused Huang Yuanrong’s audience using the excuse of seclusion for cultivation.
With both sides ignoring him, Huang Yuanrong simply decided to give up, leading his men through the mountains and valleys within the Zhongding Domain, unperturbed. If those families were willing to report a few names, he would record them. After all, he was doing the task, just not well. The Zhongding Martial God couldn’t possibly kill him over it, right?
Thinking this way, Huang Yuanrong went on with his half-hearted work.
Half a year later, the Zhongding Martial God emerged from seclusion and summoned Huang Yuanrong for a debriefing.
Upon seeing the list of family members above the level of Martial King submitted by Huang Yuanrong, he was immediately furious.
Damn, the total numbers on that list were even less than those known by his Hidden Guards.
"Huang Yuanrong, you’re mocking me!" The Zhongding Martial God threw the memorial at Huang Yuanrong’s face.
Huang Yuanrong quickly kneeled and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, these families refuse to cooperate, I...I have no choice!"
"Ha! Your Huang family has an elder Martial Emperor hiding, thinking I wouldn’t know? You’re even tampering with your own family list and now trying to deceive me? Guards!"
With the Zhongding Martial God’s angry shout, the Guard Commander entered the study.
"Take Huang Yuanrong outside and execute him publicly!"
Upon hearing the Zhongding Martial God’s order, the Guard Commander visibly shook, knowing that Huang Yuanrong, just like them, was a loyal supporter and trusted confidant of the Zhongding Martial God.
Now, just because this task wasn’t completed well, Huang Yuanrong would lose his head, which inevitably made them feel a sense of sorrow.
Huang Yuanrong was also stunned, momentarily forgetting to plead for mercy. Damn it, he thought the biggest punishment for not accomplishing the task would be to go home for reflection or to be dismissed from his position. Unexpectedly, the Zhongding Martial God wanted his life.
Seeing Huang Yuanrong frozen in place, the entering Guard Commander frowned and subtly kicked Huang Yuanrong from behind.
This kick snapped Huang Yuanrong back to reality, and he urgently begged for mercy: "Please, Your Majesty, give me another chance, spare my life!"
Spare your life?
The Zhongding Martial God sneered: "Do you realize the importance of the task you ruined for me? You belong to me. When I told you to handle something, you should have been diligent. I initially gave you the authority to act first and report later, daring not to comply, you could kill directly. What did you do? Betrayed my trust and attempted to fool me. This is indeed a crime punishable by death! Drag him out and execute him. Immediately order the Forbidden Army to surround the Huang Mansion, wipe out the Huang family, leave none alive!"
Upon hearing the Zhongding Martial God’s additional orders, Huang Yuanrong was no longer timid. Damn it, you’re going to destroy my entire family? I’ve served you diligently for hundreds of years without rest, if not merit then hard work?
Just because of one task not being accomplished well, you want to massacre my entire clan?!
"Your Majesty, I protest! I protest!" Huang Yuanrong shouted loudly: "Why should my entire Huang family be massacred? My Huang family’s loyalty to Your Majesty, pure-hearted dedication known throughout the world, I object!"
"Drag him out!" The Zhongding Martial God couldn’t be bothered to engage with Huang Yuanrong any longer. As long as he remained the only Martial God in the Zhongding Domain, confidants can be developed anew. A mere dog, what qualifications does it have to bark before me?
With the Zhongding Martial God’s command, the two Guard Commanders dared not continue to delay, so they prepared to drag Huang Yuanrong away.
Similarly aware of his impending death, Huang Yuanrong made a desperate move, unleashing his Martial Emperor-level cultivation in a bid to escape the study.
But the Zhongding Martial God was faster. A bright white divine light suddenly flashed.
Huang Yuanrong barely had time to react before his head was frozen into an ice block, severed at the neck, shattered into ice shards on the ground.
Watching the Zhongding Martial God instantly kill this Seventh Level Martial Emperor powerhouse, the Guard Commander suddenly felt his hair stand on end, the cold penetrated his body, seemingly freezing him eternally.
"What are you standing there for? Carry out my orders!"
With the Zhongding Martial God’s reprimand, the two Guard Commanders hurriedly dragged Huang Yuanrong’s body out of the study.
Dozens of minutes later, in the Imperial City, the 3,000 Martial King-level Forbidden Army gathered and headed toward the Huang family in Zhongding Imperial City.
The Huang family of Zhongding Imperial City was once considered a top family. Although over the past century, the Zhongding Martial God favored the Ming Family, causing the Huang family’s status to decline somewhat, it still held significant power and authority in the Imperial City. Its mansion size and scale almost occupied a quarter of the Imperial City, a genuine Zhongding wealthy family.
No one predicted one day the Huang family would be surrounded by the Forbidden Army.
Many people came out to watch the commotion, wanting to find out what was happening.
Even the Huang family itself never imagined they would face a day of reckoning from the Zhongding Martial God. When the Huang Family master received news of the approaching Forbidden Army, he happily went out to greet them: "I don’t know what command Mr. Fang has come to deliver from His Majesty?"
As he spoke, the servants immediately brought a million gold and silver notes, intending to hand them to the Commander of the Forbidden Army, Mr. Fang.
The Commander of the Forbidden Army actually had a good personal friendship with Huang Yuanrong, feeling a pang as he faced His Majesty’s order. However, if he hesitated now, his own Fang family might end up like the Huang family. At that point, he didn’t know if anyone would spare the Fang family.
Therefore, Commander Fang couldn’t gamble and didn’t dare to. He pushed back the gold notes offered by the Huang Family master and said, "Deliver His Majesty’s verbal command, the Huang family deceived the Emperor, committed high treason, and shall be entirely eradicated!"
The words shocked everyone.
Even the Huang Family master couldn’t help but tremble as he asked, "Commander...Commander Fang, could you say it again? My Huang family’s loyalty is steadfast..."
Before the Huang Family master could finish, Commander Fang couldn’t bear to listen further. With a wave of his hand, the 3,000 Martial King-level Forbidden Army drew their swords and charged into the Huang Family Mansion.
Slaughtering every person without any mercy.
Immediately, screams and cries resonated from within the Huang Family Mansion.
Seeing this, the Huang Family master roared, eyes bulging with anger: "Fang Guards, how dare you?! Surely there’s a villainous plot..."
Before the Huang Family master could finish speaking, Commander Fang beheaded him with a single stroke. The headless body staggered and collapsed on the ground.
