58: Chapter 57 The Military's Decapitation Plan Against the Aristocratic Families

Ten days later.

Ye Xiu and Xing Mu arrived at a super city several times larger than Tianfu.

This was the center of power for Great Xia.

Yanjing City.

After going through some inspections.

Soon, two Advanced officers arrived.

"General Ye, I am from the Parliamentary Garrison. Speaker Sikong has already instructed us. Please, this way."

As he spoke.

A small aircraft immediately parked outside the inspection area.

"Your means of transportation are too backward; you don't even have a teleportation array." Xing Mu grumbled as she sat on the aircraft with Ye Xiu.

"Apologies, the airspace over Yanjing has too many inspections. If you two were to fly on your own rashly, I fear it would only cause more delays." The officer explained.

"It's fine, don't mind her."

Ye Xiu nodded at the officer, signaling that they could take off.

With a whooshing sound of breaking through the air.

The aircraft rose from the border and flew rapidly toward the inner city.

After several hours of flight.

The aircraft finally landed in a quaint manor.

Inside the hall.

Sikong Tianwen's mood improved significantly upon seeing Ye Xiu.

After chatting for a while.

Sikong Tianwen smiled and said to the bored Xing Mu: "Little girl, there is a lake in the manor that I specially arranged for someone to build. If you are bored, why don't you go take a look?"

Xing Mu had already seen the lake while on the aircraft. She didn't say much and turned to leave the hall directly.

After Xing Mu left.

Sikong Tianwen ordered the guards to the side: "Go invite the other eight generals."

Soon.

Eight Martial Practitioners arrived one after another.

Their aura was powerful, and their lowest Realm was the eighth grade of the Mingdao Realm.

After everyone was seated.

Sikong Tianwen spoke with a solemn tone: "You are the pillars of Great Xia, the desperate choice of Great Xia. Currently, the Families are wreaking havoc in the court; three cabinet members have already been assassinated."

After finishing, he looked at everyone.

Shangguan Wudao's Killing Intent was extremely intense.

"I take full responsibility for the old Speaker's death that day. If the Families are not eliminated, Great Xia will not be at peace."

The remaining seven all frowned.

The power of the Families in Great Xia was extremely strong; they could not be wiped out just by saying so.

The hall was quiet for a few seconds.

Wang Hao from Zhaoge City spoke up: "The Families have allied with the Daoist sect, and there are even traces of the Buddhist sect involved. If our military acts rashly, I fear there will be a chain reaction."

"I disagree with Wang Hao's statement. Currently, the Families even dare to assassinate the Speaker of the Great Xia Cabinet; they have no scruples left. The military should fight back with the strongest means possible."

"Yes, if the religious sects dare to interfere in the conflict between the military and the Families, we will deal with them together."

"Deal with them together? Don't joke. Who will deal with them? Are you, Dongfang Qing, going to deal with them?" Li Antong from Chang'an said with some disdain.

"Li Antong, you are afraid of death, but I am not. If the Speaker decides to go to war with the Daoist sect, I will definitely lead the charge."

Dongfang Qing's voice was quite loud.

Combined with his nearly two-meter stature, he was quite imposing.

"Two, I think we should first see what Speaker Sikong has to say about this." Wang Hao interrupted, signaling for everyone to be quiet.

Sikong Tianwen saw everyone looking at him.

After stroking his beard and scanning the room.

He looked at Ye Xiu: "Xiao Ye, do you have any thoughts?"

Ye Xiu was silent.

After a dozen seconds, he replied: "If we deal with the Families, will the Daoist and Buddhist sects intervene?"

"All the military's Advanced weapons can be aimed at the Daoist sect. It is still possible to deter them for a few days."

"Then, Senior, do you want to execute a decapitation plan or an extermination plan?"

Hearing this.

The nine people in the hall suddenly looked serious.

A decapitation plan was fine, but if it were an extermination plan, with the strength of the nine, it would be far from enough.

"Three days from now, the military will invite the Clan Chiefs of the three major Families to meet in the border war zone. At that time, you can divide into groups of three and decapitate them separately."

Deal with the three major Families at the same time!

Everyone's expressions varied.

Some frowned, some were timid, and some were filled with Killing Intent.

Ye Xiu merely scanned the room.

And he knew.

Among these nine, only that Sword Cultivator wanted to execute this decapitation plan.

Shangguan Wudao ignored the others and spoke on his own: "I will deal with the Yao Family. Two teammates can come along."

As soon as the words fell.

Someone immediately responded: "I am willing to be with Brother Shangguan."

"I am willing too."

The two Martial Practitioners who spoke were somewhat unremarkable and around forty years old. They clearly knew Shangguan Wudao's strength, so they rushed to form a team.

"If we are forming teams, Brother Wang, Brother Chen, how about we go together?"

Qian Xiaohao from Shangdu, seeing that he couldn't cling to a strong thigh, had to invite the two he was more familiar with.

Wang Hao and Chen Xuan did not refuse.

After all, the strength of Li Antong and Dongfang Qing was the lowest among the nine, only at the eighth grade of the Mingdao Realm.

After confirming their teammates.

Qian Xiaohao immediately continued: "Speaker Sikong, then the three of us will deal with the Jiang Family."

Hearing this.

Li Antong and Dongfang Qing both frowned.

The Ji Family of Great Xia.

Was the strongest among the three major Families.

Wanting to kill the Ji Family Clan Chief required a rather high level of strength.

And their strength was ranked last among the nine.

Just as the two were struggling.

Sikong Tianwen looked at Ye Xiu: "The Ji Family Clan Chief's Dao techniques are very strong. I have dealt with him in the past. That old guy is good at spatial techniques, so prepare well."

Li Antong and Dongfang Qing's expressions looked a bit ugly.

Spatial techniques.

This ability was very underhanded.

Ye Xiu, however, didn't care.

[Martial Domain] could ignore all rules related to offense and defense; it didn't matter what the opponent's ability was like.

Unless it was a rule with extremely strong auxiliary properties like Hou Liubai's.

Otherwise.

It was just the difference between one punch and a thousand punches.

After determining their respective mission targets, Sikong Tianwen didn't stay long and left the hall.

The nine people didn't stay in the hall for long either.

The three teams each found a separate room and began to discuss the details of the decapitation plan.

In the tea room.

Dongfang Qing and Li Antong argued endlessly.

Ye Xiu was drinking tea on his own and did not participate.

Over three hours passed.

Besides studying how to deal with spatial techniques, the two were also arranging who would hold back the Ji Family Clan Chief's other combat forces.

These two problems were less like research and more like arguing.

Their faces were red, and they were almost about to fight.

Ye Xiu looked at the sky.

It was almost night.

He had promised Xing Mu he would take her to explore the city, so he could only shake his head slightly and interrupt the two.

"You only need to handle the rest of the combat forces. Leave that Ji Family Clan Chief to me alone."

After finishing.

He ignored the two who were somewhat stunned.

With a slight step, he had already vanished from the tea room.

"Is what he said true?"

Dongfang Qing couldn't believe it, thinking Ye Xiu was joking.

Li Antong clearly knew some things; she cursed him for being an idiot, then got up and left, too lazy to argue with this big fool.
