Chapter 178: Clean-up Operation

Xingzhu Empire, Western Territory, Nine Seal City.

The Luo family.

The Luo family is a local nobleman of the Xingzhu Empire, and it can be regarded as the prestige of the Nine Seal City, but more than a year ago, the Xingzhu Empire began to reduce the power of the aristocratic class on a large scale, and since then, the power of various cities has been concentrated in the City Lord's Mansion.

The meeting room, a banquet was held here today, but it was a bit strange that the banquet was surprisingly large, and many nobles in the Western Realm came to attend, but there was not a single official from the City Lord's Mansion.

The banquet of the nobles is used for socializing, and the city lord's mansion in every city is the most worthy of "stammering", after all, the city lord's mansion represents the official.

The head of the Luo family was a man who was over half a hundred years old, but still had the spirit of a young man, he sat calmly on the throne, and all the noble representatives in the banquet looked at him at this time.

"You should understand why we're gathered here, right?" said the Luo family master as he glanced around.

"You said in your letter that the Empire intends to outlaw all the powers of the nobility?" asked a young looking man.

"Although there is no direct evidence, there is a high probability that our cancellation is the first step, the royal family is going to gradually disintegrate our power, but the hateful thing is that those big families in Xingzhu City actually didn't react at all, it seems that the bright life of the imperial capital has made them lose their due judgment. The head of the Luo family said with a cold face.

But then there was silence, and the head of the Luo family frowned, and his heart was even more disappointed in these nobles below.

"The royal family is so greedy that they have to hold the whole country in the palm of their hands to rest assured, and to achieve this goal, we nobles have to lose all power. The head of the Luo family stood up and glanced at everyone again, his voice gradually increasing. "Have you lost everything for such an unknown reason? until our descendants are no different from the children of the common people?, have the glory of our ancestors been discarded like this?"

"What do you think...... What should we do?" someone asked in a low voice, his appearance was very ordinary, and his dress was very simple, if it weren't for the fact that this was a noble banquet, I am afraid that anyone would think that this person was just a commoner who could be found on the street corner.

"We have to unite, and none of our families alone can resist the orders of the royal family, but once we are united, the royal family will not dare to do anything to us easily. The head of the Luo family said calmly. "I have already contacted some big families in the north, they are also dissatisfied with the exploitation of the royal family, and now we are still contacting more noble families, and when we gather enough strength, we will jointly submit a letter, and the royal family will have to compromise with us and return to us what should have belonged to us!"

"What if...... After the joint letter, the royal family is still unwilling to compromise?" the man asked again.

The Luo family master's face changed, but after hesitating for a moment, he still said in a cold voice, "There are many ways to solve it, such as ...... Mutiny! Even if we lose the right to be a private soldier, you still have a lot of connections in the military, right? We'll ...... when the time comes."

"Enough. The man's face turned cold. A terrifying golden sword aura swept through the entire meeting room!

"Luo Ziheng, you are hereby declared guilty of treason for violating the laws of the empire, and you will be sentenced to death, which will be executed immediately. It was an understatement, but it brought extremely terrifying pressure, and the Luo family master was about to resist, but found that under the golden sword light, he couldn't move.

How is it possible!The Luo family master was shocked in his heart, he was a fifth-level sky lord, how could he be powerless to resist like this.

"Bright...... Sword God!" Someone among the nobles below said in a trembling voice.

"Jianshan is now the first special administrative body appointed by the Empire. Jian ruthlessly glanced at the Luo family master who was covered in cold sweat. "The Acting Military Department pickets people with rebellious intentions throughout the country. ”

"Your Excellency the Bright Sword God...... Please listen to my explanation, I ......" The head of the Luo family panicked at this time, and hurriedly wanted to wash himself away.

The sword ruthlessly glanced at him one last time, and the golden blade of light pierced his chest mercilessly.

"Sun Xuan of the Sun family in the north has also been sentenced to death. Jian ruthlessly looked around, as if trying to find out if anyone was an accomplice of the Luo family master.

The other nobles were busy retreating, even if someone really agreed with the Luo family master, they didn't dare to stand up and die at this time, the Bright Sword Excalibur was ruthless, but it was the benchmark of the empire's peak combat power.

"I didn't expect it...... You sword mountains boast of ...... Now he has become a lackey of the empire......!" He struggled to utter a few words full of anger, coughing up a lot of blood with each word.

"Justice......" Sword was ruthlessly stunned and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Do you understand what justice is?"

"Besides, Jianshan has never claimed to be righteous. The sword said ruthlessly and indifferently, and the golden sword qi penetrated through the head of the Luo family master.

"Take this as a warning. Jian ruthlessly left this sentence and walked out on his own, the big and small nobles present did not dare to breathe, and the rest of the Luo family could only watch the person who killed their family master leave at this time...... Not even daring to have the thought of revenge.

The streets of Nine Seals City were not very prosperous, and the ruthless face of the sword made him blend into the crowd like a drop of water falling into the sea, disappearing without a trace.

After a brief stroll, he suddenly took out his magic communication crystal.

The picture that emerges from the crystal is a petite girl.

"You're looking for me?" Jian asked with a ruthless frown.

"Hey, hey, what's your attitude, your dear wife is looking for you personally, what else are you dissatisfied with?" said the "girl" on the other end of the crystal angrily.

Jian rubbed his temples ruthlessly and helplessly, and said a little cramped and embarrassed, "Old ...... Wife...... Am I wrong, can't you......"

"That's good. Jian Linglong laughed.

“...... Is there something wrong?" the sword asked relentlessly.

"The spirit has returned, and something has happened. Jian Linglong's expression was stunned, and she decided not to tease her humble husband.

"Something happened?", Jian was ruthlessly stunned, "What happened to Lingxin? Is it hurt? If it hurts anything, I will turn around and beat up that kid from Ling Tian." It's time for him to take good care of his sister. ”

“...... It was Ling Tian who had an accident. Jian Linglong said with a smile.

“...... Then let the boy fend for himself. Jian ruthlessly said nonchalantly, "How can a boy do it without going through some hardships." ”

“...... You treat ...... differently," Jian Linglong said helplessly, "Ling Tian strayed into the Dragon Valley and was trapped in the sword formation composed of remnant swords, although he didn't know the level of that sword formation, but this was also a kind of opportunity for Ling Tian...... But the point was not this, Ling Tian seemed to have found something in the Dragon Valley. ”

"Huh?"

"Sea. Jian Linglong said a little solemnly, "Father asked me and Lingxin to go to the East China Sea to have a look, will you go?"

"Donghai ......" Jian thought ruthlessly for a while, then nodded in agreement. "Then you go back to Xingzhu City quickly, and we will be ready to leave immediately. ”

"Good. ”
