Zhu Tanggong and Ao Tianlong knew that they couldn't escape.

Now, they had only one last path left.

The two of them didn't care about their dignity or status anymore. With a thud, they directly knelt on the ground.

"Mr. Zhou, we are willing to submit."

"Please, spare us."

The two pleaded for mercy repeatedly.

Zhou Yu sneered.

"Now begging for mercy, don't you find it's a bit late?"

After speaking, he raised his hand and slapped out a powerful True Qi, instantly striking Ao Tianlong's body.

Bam!

Ao Tianlong followed suit, meeting the same fate as Han Jiantu.

Looking at Ao Tianlong's corpse falling beside him, Zhu Tanggong was so terrified that he nearly wet himself.

He looked at Zhou Yu with eyes full of fear, his face showing a look of despair.

Ao Tianlong was dead, the next would be him.

However, Zhou Yu spoke:

"Don't worry, I won't kill you."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Tanggong could hardly believe his ears.

"Mr... Mr. Zhou, are you… serious?"

Zhou Yu said calmly:

"The reason I won't kill you is because I made a deal with Zhu Yuanming; I promised him to leave the Zhu Family a way out."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Tanggong shuddered and showed a sorrowful look in his eyes.

As it turns out, the top expert of the Zhu Family indeed was dead.

His death bought the Zhu Family a path to survival!

Zhu Tanggong didn't know whether to feel sad or happy?

"Th-thank you, Mr. Zhou, for sparing me."

Zhu Tanggong said mournfully.

However, Zhou Yu continued:

"But, I still need the Zhu Family to do another thing to completely let you go."

Zhu Tanggong's body trembled as he cautiously asked:

"Mr. Zhou, what is it?"

Zhou Yu said calmly:

"I want the Zhu Family to mobilize all of its experts to destroy all the martial arts experts of the Han Family and Ao Family and consolidate all their assets."

The Zhu Family, Ao Family, and Han Family have been entrenched in Hu City for so many years; they must be familiar with each other's forces, so having the Zhu Family do this will certainly be faster than having the Martial Pavilion do it.

Furthermore, Zhou Yu's move had another implication, which was to weaken the Zhu Family's power.

To completely eliminate all the martial arts experts of the Han Family and Ao Family, the Zhu Family will surely lose some of its martial arts experts as well.

In this way, once the Zhu Family fulfills Zhou Yu's request, its power will be greatly reduced, which is the scene Zhou Yu hopes to see.

Upon hearing Zhou Yu's request, Zhu Tanggong's face became extremely grim.

He could surely guess Zhou Yu's intention, but now, how could he have any room for choice?

Zhu Tanggong at this moment only felt like crying but without tears.

But he could only agree.

"Yes, Mr. Zhou, I'll go back and handle it immediately."

Zhou Yu nodded.

"Now you can leave."

Zhu Tanggong stood up shakily and walked out in a daze.

After Zhu Tanggong left, Xiao Qingyue immediately came to Zhou Yu's side, staring at him as if looking at a monster.

"Zhou Yu, just how powerful have you become now?"

Zhou Yu smiled slightly.

"Ordinary King Realm experts should not be my match anymore."

"As for the Emperor Realm, I can't deal with them yet."

"But in terms of escaping, I should be able to manage."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qingyue gasped.

These words essentially meant that Zhou Yu's current strength was already invincible beneath the Emperor Realm.

Let it be known, Zhou Yu is only a First Grade King Realm!

No wonder at tonight's banquet, Zhou Yu didn't need Venerable Hong or Li Qinglong to support his stance.

With his current strength, he indeed could intimidate these forces in Hu City.

Xiao Qingyue took a deep breath and said.

"Really a monster!"

Zhou Yu shrugged, then laughed and said:

"Alright, now it's time to go meet our invited guests."

After speaking, he picked up the corpses of Ao Tianlong and Han Jiantu and strode out.

...

At this moment, in the main hall of the banquet.

All the major forces of Hu City were present.

Right now, Lin Yinfly stood in the center of the hall, addressing the crowd:

"The only purpose of gathering everyone here today is that starting today, the rules of Hu City will change."

"From now on, anything involving martial arts must follow the rules of the Martial Pavilion, no exceptions for any force."

"The rules of the Martial Pavilion are printed in booklets, we've prepared one for each of you. If you're unaware, study them diligently."

With Lin Yinfly's words, those from the forces below immediately erupted.

"Follow the rules of the Martial Pavilion?"

"Impossible!"

"We are affiliated with the Han Family; how we operate is dictated by the Han Family."

"Exactly, we belong to the Ao Family, and we only heed orders from them. What authority does the Martial Pavilion have to command us?"

"..."

In fact, before these forces arrived, they had each received orders from the top-tier forces like the Han Family, Ao Family, and Zhu Family to unite against the Martial Pavilion.

Thus, they became intensely agitated, ready to fight at any disagreement.

Witnessing this scene, Lin Yinfly immediately shouted angrily:

"If you dare cause trouble here, I will make you regret it."

"Why fear him?"

"Let's all act together, we must not bow down to Martial Pavilion."

"If you're so bold, Martial Pavilion, kill us all."

Someone shouted loudly from the crowd.

With these words, the people from these forces surged towards Lin Yinfly and others, starting to assault Martial Pavilion's members.

The scene instantly became extremely chaotic.

Although Lin Yinfly was repeatedly furious, he dared not truly have Martial Pavilion experts kill these people.

For a time, the situation of Martial Pavilion's members became exceedingly passive.

In the blink of an eye, several Martial Pavilion disciples had already been injured.

At this moment, a thunderous voice instantly echoed throughout the hall.

"Stop right there!"

"Anyone who dares to cause trouble again, these two will be your example."

With the words spoken, two corpses were directly thrown in, landing on the central stage.

When the crowd saw these two faces clearly, everyone was frightened, their faces changed drastically, and they backed away continuously.

"Han Jiantu!"

"Ao Tianlong!"

"How did they… die?"
