495: The Wei and Zhang families made their appearances.

Zuo Tianwei and the others stared blankly at Zuo Xiangya's corpse, their eyes devoid of focus.

Zuo Tianwei slumped to the ground, his face ashen like dead embers!

The people of the Zuo Family felt as if the sky had collapsed; a Zuo Family without an Old Ancestor presiding meant losing their greatest trump card for deterring other families.

Although Her Majesty the Queen was also a member of the Zuo Family, it was impossible for the Zuo Family to return to its former level of influence.

"Wretched son, wretched son, you have ruined the Zuo Family!"

Zuo Tianwei muttered under his breath, looking as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

The rest of the Zuo Family members were pale-faced; that man just now was too terrifying.

An Old Ancestor at the second level of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm didn't even have the ability to resist; even the most powerful Enshrined Experts of the Heavenly Star Dynasty were far inferior.

"Come! The Zuo Family will close its doors to guests! Not a single word about today's events is to be leaked, or you will be executed immediately!"

Zuo Tianwei suddenly realized that the outside world didn't actually know what had just happened.

As long as the Zuo Family didn't announce it, they might be able to hide it for a while.

He was currently at the ninth level of the Dao Severing Realm; if he went into seclusion for a while, he might have a chance to charge into the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.

As long as he could achieve a Breakthrough, even if the Zuo Family's status was slightly shaken, the foundation could still be maintained!

Hearing this, the members of the Zuo Family nodded one after another. The murderous intent from earlier dissipated, and they were completely demoralized!

Of course, Zuo Tianwei's arrangements didn't stop there. He left the Zuo Estate and went to the royal palace; he had to report this matter to Her Majesty the Queen!

The events at the Zuo Estate hardly disturbed the people of Yingtian Prefecture.

At this moment, the scene at the square was entirely different.

With the arrival of the Royal City Imperial Guard, many people's minds instantly became active.

Although these guards weren't exceptionally strong, they represented the face of the entire Heavenly Star Dynasty's royal Family.

Behind the Royal City Imperial Guard was Her Majesty the Queen, and there were even Enshrined Experts of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm stationed with them to prevent any accidents.

Once this person dared to clash with the Royal City Imperial Guard, there would be a good show to watch.

Ji Wuchang narrowed his eyes, watching the dozens of figures flying from afar. His gaze landed on the man leading them.

This man carried the pressure of the second level of the Dao Severing Realm. Behind him were dozens of people with varying cultivation levels, but most were in the Foundation Establishment realm!

The leading man looked to be in his forties with a majestic appearance. Upon arrival, he saw the massive pit in the square at a glance, and his brow furrowed slightly!

"What happened here just now?"

The leading man looked at Ji Wuchang and spoke in a cold voice.

This man's name was Fang Tai, a Captain of the Royal City Imperial Guard, but behind him was the second-rate Fang Family!

As soon as he finished speaking, a man immediately stepped forward and spoke to Fang Tai.

"Captain Fang, this man just committed a crime here, killing the Zuo Family's Eldest Young Master, Zuo Yaohai, and also killing a Dao Protector by his side!"

The speaker was Huang Congliang, who had a cultivation at the first level of the Dao Severing Realm. His Huang Family had a close personal relationship with the Zuo Family.

Hearing Huang Congliang's words, Fang Tai's heart skipped a beat. He immediately extracted two key pieces of information from the other party's words.

This person had not only killed the Zuo Family's Zuo Yaohai but had even killed the Dao Protector by his side.

Fang Tai was well aware that Zuo Yaohai's Dao Protector was very strong, at least at the sixth level of the Dao Severing Realm.

If this person even dared to kill someone like that, then killing him would naturally be no problem at all.

Fang Tai's brow furrowed tightly; he felt the situation was a bit thorny and regretted arriving so quickly.

The current situation left him in a dilemma, and for a moment, he didn't know what to do.

Just then, a voice came from afar, its words laced with chilling murderous intent.

"Captain Fang, this person relies on his high cultivation to slaughter the innocent. Why haven't you killed him on the spot yet?"

The crowd heard the voice and looked toward the distance, seeing a group of over a dozen people appearing nearby.

These people all possessed powerful auras, and the leader had even reached the seventh level of the Dao Severing Realm.

This group was from the Wei Family!

As for Ji Wuchang, the Wei Family had been closely monitoring him from the moment he entered the city.

Therefore, the Wei Family knew about what happened here almost immediately.

But the Wei Family didn't step forward immediately; they were waiting—waiting for the Zuo Family, waiting for the Zhang Family, and waiting for the Royal City Imperial Guard.

Originally, they thought that since the Zuo Family was so overbearing, they would surely arrive on the scene quickly.

But after waiting so long, they hadn't seen the Zuo Family; instead, they had waited for the Royal City Imperial Guard.

The Wei Family could no longer sit still and appeared directly, intending to force a conflict between Ji Wuchang and the Royal City Imperial Guard.

As long as Ji Wuchang dared to kill members of the Royal City Imperial Guard, or even directly killed this Fang Tai, he would be doomed even if he had ten lives.

The leader of the Wei Family this time was named Wei Haijing, who was also Wei Feiluan's clan uncle and doted on Wei Feiluan very much.

Wei Feiluan's death made Wei Haijing hate Ji Wuchang to the core, wishing he could tear him into ten thousand pieces.

Ji Wuchang's eyes were calm; he had already recovered from the consumption of using the Hundredfold Sublimation Instant Kill Technique.

He naturally noticed the appearance of Wei Haijing and the others immediately, and even felt the terrifying murderous intent on them!

His eyes were cold and indifferent, and he was in no hurry. He had already communicated with Yaoyao; if there were too many enemies later, he would borrow Yaoyao's power.

Therefore, he was in no rush to act, deciding to wait for more enemies to gather.

When the time came, he would kill to his heart's content and then simply leave.

As for the Thousand Cities Great War, it didn't matter if he didn't participate; he didn't have a particularly strong desire for the Thousand Star Flame.

He also had an exotic flame, though it was very weak right now!

Fang Tai looked at the dozen or so figures including Wei Haijing, his brow furrowing as a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

Fang Tai was no fool; otherwise, the Fang Family wouldn't have sent him out to handle things on his own.

Hearing Wei Haijing's words, he understood the other party's malicious intent.

In Fang Tai's view, someone who dared to kill members of the Zuo Family was definitely not a simple character.

If the other party killed him, his death would likely be in vain.

"Lord Wei, are you trying to teach my Royal City Imperial Guard how to do things?"

"I have already sent word of the situation here to the Commander; he will surely arrive soon."

"Besides, the people from the Zuo and Zhang Families haven't appeared yet. Why is Lord Wei in such a hurry?"

Fang Tai's words were calm and his gaze indifferent. Without being polite at all, he directly retorted.

Wei Haijing's brow furrowed; he hadn't expected Fang Tai to be able to think of so much.

He naturally wouldn't act immediately; he knew that a sixth-level Dao Severing Realm cultivator had just died at this kid's hands.

Although he was at the seventh level of the Dao Severing Realm, he might not be much stronger than the person from the Zuo Family who died. It was better to wait for the people from the two main families to arrive.

"Look, the Zhang Family has arrived! It's led by Zhang Ziheng of the Zhang Family!"

Just then, a voice rang out from the crowd as a dozen figures appeared in the distance, the leader possessing a cultivation at the sixth level of the Dao Severing Realm.
