163: Chapter 163 The Whole City Draws Its Blade to Exterminate the Blood God's Cancer

"Don't think you can cover the sky with one hand."

"Let me tell you, I, Li Tong, am a man of the Second Prince."

"Standing behind me is the Huang Clan, the Huang Clan that controls an entire province of the Great Chu."

"If you cripple me today, you are making an enemy of the Huang Clan and an enemy of the Second Prince!"

Wang Zhen also struggled, his broken right arm hanging limply. The excruciating pain in his Dantian made his entire body convulse, his face smeared with sweat and blood.

He looked at Gu Han, his eyes filled with despair and madness, his voice sounding like ground glass, sharp and grating.

"Gu Tian! Don't be too arrogant."

"I, Wang Zhen, have been in the Zhenwu Division for many years and know countless experts."

"My Revered Master is a Peak Heavenly Human Realm powerhouse."

"You crippled my Dantian, that is digging your own grave! One day, when my Revered Master returns,"

"he will surely grind your bones to dust, leaving you unable to live and unable to die."

The two men's roars echoed in the great hall like the death cries of wounded beasts.

They tried to use the factions and connections behind them to intimidate Gu Han.

They wanted this ignorant young man to know that they were not people Gu Han could afford to offend.

The higher-ups in the great hall felt their hearts tremble upon hearing this, and some of their faces turned even paler.

The Second Prince Chu Tianming, the Huang Clan, and the Revered Master who was a Peak Heavenly Human Realm powerhouse.

Any one of these names was enough to make the Cultivators of the Great Chu Dynasty wary.

Gu Han's actions today undoubtedly touched the most sensitive nerves within the Imperial Dynasty.

"These two are truly good people."

"This Young Master was just thinking about how to continue intimidating this group."

Gu Han was overjoyed inside.

But the curve of his lips grew colder, and a mocking light flickered in his eyes.

He walked slowly to Li Tong, looking down at him from above, as if looking down at a maggot rolling on the ground.

"The Huang Clan?"

"The Second Prince?"

Gu Han's voice was low and filled with oppression; every word was like a heavy hammer, striking Li Tong's heart fiercely.

"So what if it's the Huang Clan?"

"Do they dare to openly defy Your Majesty's decree?"

"And what is the Second Prince?"

"Can he replace Your Majesty? Can he control the Zhenwu Division?"

"Or is it that the Huang Clan and the Second Prince have already started plotting to replace him?"

His words were like the sharpest blade, stabbing directly into the most secret ambitions of the Huang Clan and the Second Prince, instantly turning Li Tong's face ashen.

This was a crime he could not bear!

Gu Han stopped looking at Li Tong's instantly stiff face and turned to walk toward Wang Zhen.

His gaze, like two sharp sword beams, pierced through the fear deep in Wang Zhen's eyes.

"A Revered Master who is a Peak Heavenly Human Realm powerhouse?"

Gu Han smiled contemptuously, his voice carrying undisguised sarcasm.

"This Commander crippled you precisely to tell those self-righteous 'experts',"

"that before the laws of the Great Chu Imperial Dynasty and the authority of His Majesty of Great Chu, everyone must bow."

"I will wait for your Revered Master to come."

He suddenly raised his foot, his boot imbued with surging True Qi, and stomped fiercely onto Wang Zhen's right hand, which only had half a sword hilt left in it.

"Ah!"

Wang Zhen let out a heart-wrenching scream.

That half-hilt instantly embedded into his flesh, and the fragmented bone shards made him hurt unbearably.

He looked at Gu Han, his eyes filled with extreme fear and despair.

Gu Han's ruthlessness exceeded all his imagination.

"This sword hilt will be a 'grand gift' from This Commander to your Revered Master when he returns!"

Gu Han's voice was cold, like demonic sounds from Hell, clearly echoing in the great hall.

"Tell him, if he is not convinced, This Commander is waiting at any time, and I don't mind crippling one more."

Gu Han slowly retracted his foot; Wang Zhen's right hand was already a bloody mess, completely ruined.

He stopped looking at these two cripples and swept his gaze over the terrified higher-ups in the great hall.

"Throw these two insubordinate pieces of trash out of the Zhenwu Division immediately!"

Gu Han's voice was emotionless, yet filled with unquestionable majesty.

"From now on, the doors of the Zhenwu Division will never be opened for them."

"Anyone who dares to open a convenient door for these two will be punished with the same crime!"

Two Zhenwu Guards immediately stepped forward, dragged Li Tong and Wang Zhen, who were like dead dogs, and quickly left the great hall.

In their eyes, there was awe for Gu Han, as well as a trace of deeply hidden excitement.

Gu Han's iron-fisted methods today undoubtedly established inviolable rules within the Zhenwu Division.

Gu Han scanned the audience again, and everyone touched by his gaze subconsciously lowered their heads, not daring to meet his eyes.

"Now, let us discuss last night's catastrophe."

Gu Han's voice suddenly sank, bringing the topic back on track.

He returned to his seat, picked up his teacup, and took a light sip, as if nothing had happened.

"Last night, the Yao Emperor's forbidden secret technique descended upon the capital, damaging the Imperial Dynasty's Luck and causing the capital's citizens to panic."

Gu Han put down the teacup and scanned the crowd with a sharp gaze.

"As members of the Zhenwu Division, it is time to draw our blades."

"Otherwise, how can we convince the citizens?"

"How can we solve problems for Your Majesty?"

His words carried a swift and resolute decisiveness, causing the higher-ups in the great hall to perk up.

Seeing everyone looking solemn, Gu Han was very satisfied.

Then, he spoke again.

"They have already fought to our doorstep."

"If we don't fight back, wouldn't we be a laughingstock to those evil Cultivators and demons?"

"They will all think that everyone's blades have rusted, and that the Zhenwu Division is just a group of good-for-nothings."

"By then, they will become more rampant and more unscrupulous."

"At that time, even our families behind us might not be safe."

Gu Han's voice was not loud, but it exploded in the great hall like thunder, every word carrying unquestionable majesty.

His gaze was like a torch, sweeping over the faces still shaken with fear, taking in everyone's reactions.

"For the Yao Race to dare to make such a big move and openly invade our capital, if there is no collusion with others behind it, it is absolutely impossible!"

He slammed the table, causing the leftover tea in the cup to splash, pushing the murderous atmosphere to the extreme.

"The remnants of the Blood God Cult."

"This group of tumors hiding in the dark, trying to disrupt the Great Chu."

"It is time to expose them to the sunlight!"

Gu Han changed the subject, directly pointing out the Blood God Cult.

He had not forgotten the evil heretics he encountered at the outpost in the suburbs earlier.

There must be some unknown connection between them and the Yao Race.

"From now on, the Zhenwu Division is on full alert!"

"All members of the Zhenwu Division in the capital, move out."

He stood up abruptly.

A surging Aura rose from his body, like an unsheathed peerless fierce blade, with its edge fully exposed.

"Starting from the Zhenwu Division, radiate outward and conduct a carpet search."

"Whether it is evil Cultivators hiding in deep alleys, or Yao Race spies mixed into aristocratic families,"

"leave none behind, dig them all out."

"At the same time, strengthen inspections and surveillance at all city gates."

"All markets, restaurants, and brothels in the capital, wherever there are dense crowds, must be strictly monitored!"
