Shortly after bidding farewell to Dugu Sword Demon.
Wang Hao called.
"Chen Feng! You absolutely must not oppose the war anymore."
"I'm telling you a secret, you must not spread it."
"The seven great families have already agreed on how to divide the spoils of victory."
"If you oppose the war now, you're essentially cutting off their source of wealth."
"This interview was a trap they set for you in advance."
"Right now, their actions against you are just the beginning. Next, they might target your Chosen Martial Arts School."
"Several families covet the techniques of the Chosen Martial Arts School and want to use this opportunity to finish you off. You'd better think of a way quickly!"
"Just keep this to yourself, don't tell anyone."
"I originally promised them I wouldn't tell a second person."
Hearing Wang Hao's words, a surge of anger rose within Chen Feng.
He had wholeheartedly been thinking of how to help them avoid disaster.
Yet the repayment was endless persecution.
For a moment.
Chen Feng felt this world was not worth it.
The seven great families, for their own interests, completely ignored his warnings.
Even deliberately suppressed him.
He was still unwilling to give up.
Finally, using Jin Youxi's Douyin account, Chen Feng posted one last video.
"I cannot stop the war."
"Once Kunlun opens its gates, you will all surely regret it!"
As soon as the video was posted, mockery followed.
But this time.
Chen Feng didn't even look.
He had done his best.
And he had also come to understand.
He could not protect the world.
What he should do most was find a way to protect his own disciples.
At that very moment, an urgent news bulletin interrupted the television broadcast.
[Announcement! After losing twenty Martial Venerables and over two hundred Grandmasters in battle, the Southern Continent has announced its unconditional surrender to Great Xia this evening.]
As the news of victory spread, Great Xia was in an uproar.
It could be said.
The surrender of the Southern Continent meant Great Xia's territory was about to double.
Holy Capital.
A seven-star hotel.
Representatives of the seven great families were gathered joyously together.
The entire hotel had been booked out.
Other floors were also filled with scions of the various families.
At this moment, they were all celebrating one thing.
The surrender of the Southern Continent.
The Wei family, leader of the seven great families, was the first to speak.
"Now that the Southern Continent has surrendered."
"The remaining two continents likely won't hold out much longer."
"But regarding what Chen Feng said, we should still be cautious. Avoid unnecessary slaughter."
"Try to find out news about Feng Tengyun and Mi Chuan as soon as possible, and eliminate the threat for good."
Ye Wujiang laughed:
"A mere few thousand Kunlun remnants, how could they possibly have several hundred Martial Saints?"
"That kid is definitely spreading alarmist talk."
"Even if Kunlun's gates truly open permanently, the Kunlun remnants would be no match for Great Xia."
"And the Dragon Vein will also fall into the hands of our seven great families."
Someone from the Li family immediately suggested:
"When the time comes, we must definitely send people to surround the Dragon Vein."
"Except for members of our seven great families, no one else is allowed entry."
"As for those barbarians, the Kunlun remnants, let them emigrate to the other continents."
Two people from the Liu family said:
"Let's use this opportunity to also bring down this Chen Feng."
"After all, this person is not of pure Great Xia blood. If he grows stronger in the future, he might become a second Zhang Bowen."
"It's better to keep him under strict surveillance."
The representative from the Zhang family also nodded.
"This Chen Feng harbors sinister intentions, actually attempting to stop Great Xia from unifying the world."
"This is such a monumental feat."
"Countless great predecessors failed to achieve it, yet our generation has accomplished it."
"For Chen Feng to spread rumors at this time is simply treason."
"I suggest sealing his Chosen Martial Arts School. The school's techniques should be temporarily collected by the Martial Arts Association."
The representative from the Wang family watched quietly, not speaking much.
They did not want to join the five families in dealing with Chen Feng.
But the family Martial Saint, Wang Zun, had given instructions.
Adopt a wait-and-see approach, neither agreeing nor opposing.
Not participating, but not withdrawing either.
The person from the Dugu family merely frowned slightly.
But following the instructions of the family ancestor, they said nothing.
Waiting quietly for further developments.
...
At this moment, the five families were already planning how to divide the world.
How to lead their families to achieve monumental deeds.
The day after Chen Feng's interview.
The Chosen Martial Arts School, which was being rebuilt, was ordered to stop.
The reason given was a report from Chen Feng's disciple, Ye Xing.
Chen Feng, the master of the Chosen Martial Arts School, had an unclear personal stance and was suspected of being a traitor.
Chen Feng was placed under house arrest, forbidden to leave Kunlun City.
At the same time, the martial arts school's business license was revoked.
The martial arts techniques of the school were also confiscated and placed under the ownership of the Martial Arts Association.
All students of the Chosen Martial Arts School.
Would be transferred to martial arts schools under the Martial Arts Association to continue their martial arts training.
As soon as the Martial Arts Association issued the announcement.
The matter instantly escalated.
Chen Feng's image as a Great Xia hero also collapsed at this moment.
"If the Martial Arts Association issued an announcement, it seems this Chen Feng really isn't clean."
"Serves him right! Wanting to save those foreigners, even fabricating a mythological story."
"Anyone who tries to stop Great Xia from unifying the world is a criminal."
"All this time, I was actually a fan of his. Who knew he was a traitor?"
...
The entire internet was filled with scolding.
Although there were some who spoke up for Chen Feng.
Their comments would be deleted and their accounts banned as soon as they were posted.
Jin Youxi and Liu Weiwei's accounts were even directly suspended.
"Master, Ye Xing is really too much."
"Who would have thought he seemed honest and obedient, but ended up being just like that traitor Xiao Ruohan."
"I heard from Uncle Wang Hao that this is all the five families maliciously targeting you."
Jin Youxi was so angry she almost threw her phone.
Liu Weiwei also said indignantly:
"If it weren't for Grandpa Dugu's guarantee today, Master might have been arrested."
Grandpa Jin shook his head and sighed.
In his view, young people encountering setbacks was all too normal.
But Chen Feng's situation was truly disheartening.
Not only betrayed by a disciple, but also bullied by Great Xia's power class.
At this time, only Zhao Bing was unaware of what had happened.
Spending his days either practicing swordsmanship or in the midst of practicing swordsmanship.
His proficiency in the Thirteen Deadly Swords was nearing a transcendent level.
...
Deep within the front lines of the Northern Continent.
Xiao Ruohan, having just returned from a search mission.
As soon as she got back to camp, she immediately checked the news about Chen Feng.
When she saw the Martial Arts Association's punishment.
Xiao Ruohan revealed an excited smile.
At this moment, she really wanted to see Chen Feng's expression when he first saw this news.
"Didn't expect this, did you, Chen Feng! Not only did I betray you."
"Your newly accepted little disciple also betrayed you!"
"And the Great Xia you love so much also betrayed you!"
"Hahaha..."
Xiao Ruohan felt that since she was born.
She had never been this happy.
Seeing Chen Feng betrayed once again, her heart felt an indescribable thrill!
Her laughter at this moment grew increasingly maniacal, her face gradually contorting.
e school belle recognized by the whole school, a genius girl from the kendo club. She also has a hidden identity, the youngest legendary demon hunter. Chen Shuo just transmigrated and found himself turned into a weak, helpless little vampire. He was caught by Su Xiyen and taken home at the very beginning. Since then, Chen Shuo's life creed only had two items. "First, classmate Su Xiyen is always right." "Second, if classmate Su Xiyen is wrong, please refer back to item one." Many years later, Chen Shuo, who had turned back into a human, led a pair of twins to appear in front of all the vampires to share the secret of how he turned back into a human. "It's simple, I tricked a female demon hunter into becoming my wife!"
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
rowess are unmatched, commanding a million-strong army! Yet, the Emperor wants to depose him for the sake of a false prince? Hold on, are you throwing me into some female-oriented romance plot? How can I tolerate this? With a grand wave of his hand—the Nine Clan Extraction Technique! Slander the Emperor? Very well, all of you shall die! ... The False Prince: "Although I am not the biological son, Father and Mother love me more. The throne should be mine!" The Female Lead: "Qin Xiao, you are the Emperor, and I am a commoner. If you wish to marry me, you must abdicate. Otherwise, you will never have me!" The Empress: "After we divorce, you must give me half the empire!" The Transmigrator Consort: "You worthless Emperor, why should I kneel to you? All men are equal—I advise you to be kind!" The Great General: "The enemy general is my childhood sweetheart. For her sake, I willingly abandon the frontier defenses!" The Retired Emperor: "Although Yu'er was adopted, I prefer him. Qin Xiao, you should abdicate and let him become Emperor!" ... Very well! So this is how you want to play? Facing this twisted world of female-oriented tropes, Qin Xiao grins and raises his hand to unleash—the Nine Clan Extraction Technique! I am the Emperor. Why would I bother reasoning with you? Seal the gates! Leave none alive!
