The bone-chilling killing intent filled the entire training room. The image in the void kept flickering. The conversation was heard clearly by everyone present.

When he saw Shi Ming give an Aphrodisiac Pill to Lu Xingchen, the City Lord's gaze noticeably darkened.

When he watched Lu Xingchen deceive Shen Mei with sweet words, causing her to harm Ren Wushuang, Old Shen's face also turned cold.

When the image ended, an astonishing wave of killing intent surged in the eyes of both the City Lord and Old Shen!

"Your Lu Family, truly venomous!" Ren Wushuang swept his gaze over the trio from the Lu Family, his face as cold as ice.

Lu Xingchen's body trembled, and he quickly said, "Wushuang..."

"Shut up! Don't talk to me again!" Ren Wushuang reprimanded coldly, glancing at Lu Xingchen with disgust. He then lowered his gaze to Shen Mei and sighed, "Didn't I tell you not to provoke him? Why didn't you listen?"

"Wushuang, I'm sorry..." Shen Mei fell into Ren Wushuang's arms, crying uncontrollably. Her face was pale, and her delicate body was shuddering.

"Sigh..." Ren Wushuang let out a deep sigh, patted her shoulder, and comforted her, "It's okay. It's all in the past now. I won't blame you."

Seeing Shen Mei's heartbroken appearance, Old Shen's anger became unstoppable!

"What else do you have to say?" he猛然转头, yelling furiously at Master Lu. "I truly didn't think you could be so despicable as to commit such a vile act!"

The most infuriating part was that the dignified Lord of East City dared to commit the act but not take responsibility, instead pushing all the blame onto his granddaughter. If Qin Feiyang hadn't possessed evidence, even if his granddaughter jumped into the Yellow River, she wouldn't have been able to clear her name!

Master Lu's face turned pale. He looked urgently at the City Lord, pleading, "Your Excellency, I know my mistake. Please spare my life, considering my years of loyal service to you!"

But the City Lord ignored him, instead turning to Qin Feiyang and asking, "I have a question. Why would Shi Ming help the Lu Family?"

Qin Feiyang said, "Because he is not Shi Ming at all!"

The Wolf King nodded. "Exactly. According to my investigations with Xiao Qinzi, he should be the Third Clan Elder of the Lu Family in disguise."

"What?" Everyone present trembled, both physically and mentally!

However, their reactions differed. The City Lord, Old Shen, Ren Wushuang, and Shen Mei were stricken with shock, while Master Lu, Lu Xingchen, and Shi Ming were filled with fear.

Old Shen stepped forward, seized Shi Ming's jaw, produced a restoration pill, and stuffed it into Shi Ming's mouth. Immediately, Shi Ming's appearance began to change. Soon, an old man with black hair appeared before everyone.

"It's really you!" Old Shen yelled furiously. "Daring to impersonate a Law Enforcement Elder from the Holy Temple, your Lu Family truly has audacious guts!"

"City Lord, spare us!" Master Lu, Lu Xingchen, and the now-revealed Third Clan Elder were panic-stricken. Their hatred towards Qin Feiyang and the Wolf King undoubtedly rose to a new level.

"Spare you?" the City Lord responded angrily. "You've committed such a grievous error. If I were to spare you, how would the world view me?"

Master Lu begged, "I will definitely change my ways in the future."

The City Lord took a deep breath and asked, "Where is the real Shi Ming? Why did you have the Third Clan Elder assume his appearance, and what was your objective?"

"I..." Master Lu stammered.

The City Lord turned to Qin Feiyang again.

Qin Feiyang smiled faintly. "Let him tell you himself."

Actually, he didn't know either. But as long as he pretends to know, Master Lu will surely confess on his own.

The City Lord glared at Master Lu and demanded, "Speak!"

"Shi Ming is dead," Master Lu said, his face full of terror. "I had the Third Clan Elder disguise himself as him and infiltrate the Holy Temple because I wanted to..." He trailed off, unable to continue.

Qin Feiyang seemed lost in thought. Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

"Master Lu, if you're not going to talk, let me help you," Qin Feiyang said. "You merely wanted to plant a spy in the Holy Temple to look after your Lu Family disciples and, at the same time, eliminate dissidents. Most crucially, by impersonating Shi Ming, he would have a chance to become the Hall Master of the Martial Palace in the future. By then, the entire Holy Temple could, for all practical purposes, be said to be under your Lu Family's control. Am I wrong?"

"Shut up!" Master Lu roared.

"So, I guessed correctly," Qin Feiyang smiled.

"Guessed?" Master Lu was stunned.

Qin Feiyang nodded. "That's right. I didn't actually investigate these matters, but they weren't difficult to guess."

"Bastard, you tricked me!" Master Lu was bristling with fury.

The Wolf King said disdainfully, "So what if he tricked you? It finally makes sense why Lu Xingchen and the Lord of the Lu Family are so stupid. It's hereditary."

"Bastard, you deserve to die!" Master Lu roared and rushed towards Qin Feiyang, but he was immobilized by the City Lord's pressure and couldn't move a muscle.

"The one who deserves to die is you!" the City Lord's icy voice sounded. With a wave of his hand, a wave of Battle Intent surged forth and pierced Master Lu's lower abdomen like lightning.

Blood gushed out!

"AHH..." Master Lu immediately fell to the ground, clutching his lower abdomen and screaming in pain.

Crippled? Lu Xingchen and the Third Clan Elder were dumbstruck.

"Grandfather Ren, I was wrong! Please don't kill me..."

"Your Excellency, City Lord, you are a magnanimous man! Please forgive us this time! We will definitely conduct ourselves properly from now on..."

Having regained their senses, the two immediately began begging for mercy.

"Your actions are unforgivable!" the City Lord stated coldly. Two streams of Battle Intent cut through the air, also penetrating their lower abdomens.

AHH!!

Both of them immediately fell to the ground, screaming in agony.

The City Lord looked down at Lu Xingchen and said, "Someone like you is not worthy of Shuang'er. I hereby announce that your engagement is annulled!"

Ren Wushuang's heart leaped with joy.

But this news fell on Lu Xingchen like a bolt from the blue, plunging him into an ocean of despair.

"YAP YAP YAP!" The Wolf King shrieked, leaping down from Qin Feiyang's shoulder and landing in front of Lu Xingchen. He chuckled wickedly, "Didn't expect to fall into our hands so quickly, did you?"

"You beast! I won't let you off even if I become a ghost!" Lu Xingchen howled.

"Trying to scare me?" The Wolf King laughed scornfully, then looked up at the City Lord. "Old man, quickly tell Wang Hong to bring men and raze the Lu Family to the ground!"

"What?" The faces of the three Lu Family men changed drastically.

Master Lu pleaded, "Your Excellency, please leave a path of survival for my Lu Family!"

Old Shen clasped his hands and said, "Your Excellency, the Lord of the Lu Family and the Fourth Clan Elder must also be involved in this. They must be severely punished without leniency!"

Master Lu roared, "Old Dog Shen, don't push it too far!"

"I'm just telling the truth," Old Shen sneered.

Qin Feiyang nodded. "Elder Shen is right. The Lu Family is a malignant tumor that must be excised as soon as possible!"

"No!" Master Lu pleaded desperately, kowtowing repeatedly until his forehead was broken and bleeding profusely. "My lord, I beg you, please don't exterminate us all!"

The City Lord glanced at Qin Feiyang and the others, then looked down at Master Lu and the other two, and took out an Image Crystal Stone. Soon, a middle-aged man with an eyepatch and a square-jawed face materialized.

It was Wang Hong!

When he saw the situation in the training room, a flicker of surprise crossed Wang Hong's eyes. He bowed and said, "Greetings, City Lord. What are your instructions?"

"Immediately gather all the Commanders and head to the Lu Family," the City Lord ordered. "Anyone at the War Emperor realm or above, leave no one; eliminate them all! The rest are to be expelled from the State City! Simultaneously, announce the dismissal of Master Lu from his position as Lord of the East City!"

"Yes!" Wang Hong acknowledged respectfully without asking for reasons and then deactivated the Image Crystal Stone.

SWOOSH!

Immediately afterwards, he rushed out from a grand hall, soaring into the sky, and shouted, "Commanders, assemble quickly!"

As soon as his words landed, a number of figures shot into the sky. There were nine in total—old and young, men and women—all exuding an unfathomable aura! They, like Wang Hong, were all Commanders under the City Lord. Also, they reported directly to the City Lord. In Spirit State, their status was even higher than that of the Lords of the four major city districts. Only the City Lord had the authority to command them.

"Wang Hong, what's wrong?" one of them asked. "You look a bit off!" The nine looked at Wang Hong with confusion.

When Wang Hong relayed the City Lord's orders, all nine were aghast.

Wang Hong waved his hand, opening a portal, and was the first to step through. The remaining nine exchanged glances and then followed him into the portal.

「The next moment!」

Ten figures descended above the Lu Family estate.

"Who's there?" A furious shout rang out as the Lord of the Lu Family shot into the sky. However, when he saw it was Wang Hong and the other nine, his expression changed drastically. What's going on? Why have all ten of the City Lord's Great Commanders come?

Wang Hong said, "Begin!"

BOOM!!!

The ten of them shuddered, and terrifying auras erupted from them. They were all, without exception, War Ancestors! The entire East City was instantly alarmed!

The Lord of the Lu Family instantly became vigilant and shouted, "What are you trying to do?"

Wang Hong and the other nine remained silent, their faces devoid of expression, like ten grim reapers descending upon the mortal world!

BOOM!

Wang Hong pointed a finger, and Battle Intent shot out like a rainbow, instantly obliterating the Lord of the Lu Family!

Then, the ten figures scattered and swept downwards.

Immediately, a bloody massacre began. The War Emperor experts of the Lu Family were continuously slaughtered! Screams of agony echoed incessantly! Blood flowed like streams!

"What are you doing?" Seven old women in black robes rushed out from a grand hall, their hair practically standing on end from rage.

"Die!" Wang Hong waved his hand. Battle Intent cascaded like a waterfall, condensing into a sky-covering giant hand that slammed fiercely towards the seven.

AHHH!!! Accompanied by a series of screams, the seven were instantly annihilated, turning to ash!

From a distance, figures soared into the sky, watching Wang Hong's group of ten rampaging, their eyes filled with astonishment and doubt.

Above the Treasure Pavilion, Yin Yuanming and the woman in purple stood shoulder to shoulder, their faces also filled with shock! They were very familiar with the Ten Great Commanders. They rarely made a move. But if they make a move, doesn't it mean something major has happened?

SWOOSH!

The woman in purple's eyes flashed. She took a few strides, arriving above the Lu Family estate, and frowned. "Wang Hong, what are you doing?"

Wang Hong replied, "These are the City Lord's orders."

"The City Lord!" The woman in purple's pupils contracted.

"How could this happen?"

"Why would the City Lord want to deal with our Lu Family?" The First Clan Elder and Second Clan Elder ran out from a pavilion, wailing in grief.

BOOM!

One of the Commanders glanced at them, pointed his forefinger into the air, and instantly killed the two on the spot.

Is this the end of our Lu Family? At this moment, everyone in the Lu Family, from top to bottom, was plunged into panic! The younger disciples, in particular, were so terrified they collapsed to the ground, their eyes filled with despair.
