As Hu Ma ordered, the gold armor on the table clattered and turned.

The next moment, within the Zhensui Mansion, the Golden Armored Warriors suddenly looked up, took steps, and walked out of Zhensui Mansion.

The golden chains on their bodies slid, charging straight to the Lord of Huzhou Divine Temple. The golden hands dismantled the temple gate, crushed the temple threshold, and with shimmering golden light, strode directly into the temple.

Not long after, they escorted out a shadow all in black, with a sturdy and elongated figure, and three heads at the front, ignoring its desperate struggle, and brought it to the front of Zhensui Mansion.

A haze of dark air pervaded, clashing among the Divine Souls of the entire city's citizens, hard to distinguish truth from falsehood, all only blankly looked up.

"Spare me, spare me..."

Seeing the dragon head chopper already raised, the Golden Armored Warriors shoved themselves under the chopper, the black shadow was also terrified.

Shivering all over, it screamed desperately.

The Three-headed Jiao was an anomaly of the world, not only guarding the blood food mine itself, cultivating an astonishing path, but also exploiting the loopholes of the world. After the Reincarnation Road was broken, it still transformed into a human form, gaining part of the heavenly mandate, and was crowned as a grasshead king.

Because it had a heavenly mandate, its fate in this world already belonged to the rank of princes and dukes. To sever it, the dragon blade must be used.

If it had not gained the heavenly mandate, it would only have been a Lord, and a tiger head chopper would suffice.

It understood this itself, so even when captured, it was not convinced, but seeing the dragon head chopper, it was terrified.

"The number of heavenly mandates, is it something a beast like you can contend with?"

Yet Hu Ma was ruthless, with a wave of the hand, a token flew out from Zhensui Mansion and landed beside the Three-headed Jiao.

"Chop it!"

In a cold shout, with disdain in expression, "I also have three heads, you also have three heads, what status, do you think you're the same as me with three heads?"

"Hiss!"

The dragon head chopper raised high and fell solidly, no matter how the Three-headed Jiao felt it had mana, with many abilities unused, yet being held by the Golden Armored Warriors, it couldn't move an inch.

With an unwilling cry, its head fell instantly to the ground.

At the same time, above Huzhou Prefecture City, the pervading ominous aura dissipated instantaneously, conversely, an endless blood aura rolled forth, in the spiritual temple, the golden statue of the Three-headed Jiao, the gold leaf peeled off piece by piece, and the three heads simultaneously rolled outside the temple.

"Jiao King, you colluded with the demon people of the Niang'er Sect, performing secret sacrilegious rites, refining magic with living people, ignoring moral recompense, yet engaged in many wicked deeds."

While Hu Ma unfolded the Zhensui Mansion in the sky over Huzhou Prefecture City, openly and grandiosely beheaded the Three-headed Jiao at the Lord Divine Temple, Yang Gong also arrived on horseback, before the human form of the Three-headed Jiao King held by Zhao Zhu and others.

High above, he shouted loudly, "Our Food Protection Army is here to act in alignment with the will of heaven for the people. Now that the evidence is in hand, we must strike you down before the people of Huzhou!"

"I am willing to surrender, I am willing to surrender..."

The millennium cultivation of the Three-headed Jiao King was destroyed, leaving only this human form, immediately frightened and panicked, he cried out loudly.

But by then, there was no one to pay him any mind, for he was already dragged onto the platform the Niang'er Sect used to sacrifice women and children, where the army used executioners as punishment officers, walked up to the stage, drank a mouthful of strong liquor, spat it onto the knife, and then wielded it firmly.

"Puff!"

Blood spurted forth, the head flew three or four zhang into the air, and fell to the ground.

At this moment, the entire city heard a cry of despair and fear, quelling the city's unrest.

Zhensui Mansion behead the spirit, Food Protection Army behead the man, this ambitious Three-headed Jiao King entrenched in Huzhou, met his end this very night, his city breached, his army defeated, his body and soul perished.

He who held the qualification to contend for heavenly mandate, was now one less in the blink of an eye.

"Hail... Hail to the King of Food Protection..."

The citizens of Huzhou City, stunned for who knows how long, suddenly someone snapped out of it, leading the others to kneel towards Yang Gong.

Immediately, those scattered troops and captured leaders, trembled with their knees knocking, bowed and kowtowed.

"To defeat the city and slay the thousand years cultivation old demon overnight, the name of our Food Protection Army shall now spread across the land!"

At this moment, Hu Ma finally took a breath and came before Er Guotou and Calculation.

Beside him, Calculation was already feeling nervous, tremblingly said, "He... he actually only had five hundred years of cultivation, not a thousand."

Hu Ma glanced at him and said, "No need to dwell on such details, just propagate it outside like this later."

Calculation instantly understood, hurriedly bowed his head.

As for the No-Eating bull Disciples beside, without the need to speak further, they already understood Hu Ma's intent and went to make arrangements.

"Now that the Three-headed Jiao is slain, what about the heavenly mandate..."

Er Guotou also realized and was about to anxiously ask when he saw Hu Ma already taking out the Heaven Suppressing Treasure Seal.

Lifting the seal in his hand, he saw it blooming with gentle yet weighty glow in the deep night, echoing the aura of the kingly path.

Meanwhile, in Huzhou City, as the human form of the Three-headed Jiao King was beheaded by Yang Gong, an intangible aura flew out from the Three-headed Jiao's body, this aura was neither tangible nor intangible, only those with profound Path and Magic could feel it.

It was exactly the heavenly mandate.

Hu Ma could clearly feel this thread of heavenly mandate, flying onto the seal, and the seal suddenly became much heavier.

The last word "Prosperity" he was looking for had now opened a beginning.

And at the same time, as he found a stroke of the word Prosperity, with the perception on this Treasure Seal, he slowly raised his head, as if his eyes no longer contained the misty expanse of Huzhou City, nor the houses and city walls, insightfully viewing all things in heaven and earth.

Various stars scattered across the land, accompanied by figures representing authority, contemplation, or nobility.

Slightly curling the corners of his lips, "Is that where the remaining heavenly mandate lies?"

...

...

"Report..."

"The Food Protection Army entered Huzhou, within a single day and night, broke the Three-headed Jiao King's army."

"Mingzhou King Yang Gong slew the Jiao King, Zhensui Mansion broke the mountain and chopped the temple, they slayed the Jiao God, a Red Lantern hung in the temple, and the people are united."

"Among the thirty-six grass head kings, now one is fewer."

The events of Mingzhou slaying the Jiao King, destroying the golden body, hanging red lanterns, and the like all happened past midnight, but these news had already spread throughout the world before dawn.

Somewhere, there was a young man in red-crowned silver robe, who, hearing the news, sighed and said upward, "Father, you were thinking of testing the strength of this Mingzhou's Food Protection Army, seeing now, it's not just gold, but even higher quality than the regular grass head kings!"

"This is likely just a trial, they also need to put on a show, letting those Reincarnators take notice. I reckon after seeing it, those people will be assured to join this game."

"Since that's the case, probing is futile. Do you think our Zhao Family should make the first move, or should we find some method to make the other families act first, meeting the true challenge with them?"
