How come I'm invincible?

Chapter 129: Even if the founding emperor were to be resurrected, I would still ask him one question: Do you want to die with your Song family?
"General, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding."

"Speak well if you have something to say."

Song Zhendao was being held captive by the Shenwu Division and kept trying to talk to Lin Fan, but Lin Fan ignored him completely and didn't even glance at him.

A surge of anger burned within Lin Fan.

The flames were burning very brightly.

It is difficult to extinguish.

All the way, Song Zhenli kept shouting, like a mad wild boar, twisting his body, trying to break free, thinking of his son being killed in front of him.

How could he tolerate it?

The brothel was reached in the blink of an eye.

Before even stepping inside, bursts of soft moans and wanton laughter pierced through the walls, and decadent sounds rushed towards them.

This brothel was the largest on the Wei River. All the windows were closed, so the customers inside had no idea whether it was day or night outside, which was meant to keep them in a state of having no sense of time.

"Gentlemen, you..."

Two thugs from the brothel at the entrance saw someone approaching and went to greet them, but before they could finish speaking, they realized with horror that something was wrong.

The leader had a calm expression but cold eyes, and he held a knife in his hand. Behind him were several people wearing the uniforms of the Divine Martial Division.

Before they could turn around and run to the brothel to inform the madam...

puff!

A cold light flashed.

The goose-feather saber in Lin Fan's hand trembled slightly, and a line of blood crimson quietly seeped into the blade.

The two thugs stood frozen in place as a thin line slowly split open at their throats. The next moment, their heads slid off, the cut as smooth as a mirror. The headless corpses crashed to the ground, blood gushing out and soaking the ground.

Lin Fan kicked open the tightly closed door and rushed in with his knife in hand.

Ning Yu followed closely behind.

Xu Ming, Qian Tao, and Wu Yong escorted the three masters of the Song family into the brothel.

The scene inside was appalling.

The men and women, their clothes disheveled, chased and played with each other, behaving in a dissolute manner. A blindfolded customer waved his arms wildly and let out a lewd laugh.

"Sweetie, where do you think you're going?"

"See, I caught you."

The customer pulled off his blindfold and suddenly realized he had grabbed the wrong person. He looked up and met Lin Fan's gaze, which sobered the drunk customer up considerably.

"Who is it again, from the Divine Martial Division? Your master has already been killed by our young master Song, and you still..."

pat!

Lin Fan gripped the man's throat with his five fingers like iron clamps, and with a slight exertion, crushed the throat bone in an instant. Then, like discarding trash, he tossed the still convulsing corpse aside.

"what!"

The prostitutes and their clients then realized what was happening, and screams suddenly tore through the air, the scene completely out of control.

When the madam learned that someone was causing trouble, she immediately rushed over with her pimps and thugs.

The madam stood with her hands on her hips, her voice gruff and harsh, "Who the hell is blind enough to dare cause trouble here? Don't they know this is Song family property? I think you're tired of living."

The moment she appeared, the madam exuded an air of domineering power.

"Oh, gentlemen, what brings you here? I was blind and didn't see you earlier." When the madam saw the three masters of the Song family, her expression changed instantly, and she immediately put on a fawning smile.

He hurried forward.

puff!

A cold glint appeared once more.

Lin Fan didn't even glance at the madam clutching her neck; he drew his knife and slashed at the pimps and thugs in the brothel.

In an instant.

The screams continued.

The wailing continued.

Ning Yu watched as her master killed someone without saying a word, then turned to look at Song Zhendao.

“You Song family are truly audacious. I have followed my master all this time and have never seen him so angry. From today onwards, if even one member of your Song family survives, it will be a testament to my master’s mercy.”

"But don't even think about being merciful to us."

These words made Song Zhendao's face turn extremely ugly. Now he knew that it was useless to say anything, so he said fiercely, "My Song family has been passed down for hundreds of years. If he dares to destroy my Song family, he will be infamous for ten thousand years. There will be no place for him in the Central Plains. All the scholars in the world will curse him to the point of being bloodied and gruesome."

Ning Yu scoffed, "Ha! Is that so? We'll see if they're just being stubborn, or if they're just being delusional."

As they talked, the air was thick with the stench of blood. The prostitutes and some of their clients huddled in a corner, trembling with fear.

They didn't even dare to lift their heads.

I thought that would make me safe.

But soon they realized something was wrong; the enemy's blade was about to fall on them.

"what……"

The piercing screams continued.

A prostitute knelt down with a thud, saying, "My lord, I didn't do anything!"

Lin Fan's gaze remained calm and unwavering as he said, "My man, Wei Qianhu of your Divine Martial Division, was beaten to death here. All of you were watching, watching my man being beaten to death."

"Mockery, ridicule, and humiliation all come at a price."

"You can only blame your bad luck."

After saying that, Lin Fan raised his knife and swung it.

The goose-feather dagger bestowed by His Majesty was now covered in blood, turning completely crimson.

Song Zhendao watched this scene with trepidation. He realized that the Divine Martial General's killing intent was hard to suppress. Just now he had thought that this might be a form of intimidation and threats, and that the other party would not dare to kill them when the crucial moment came.

But now, that idea has vanished.

The Divine Martial General was truly bloodthirsty and extremely ruthless.

After a long time.

Lin Fan walked to the table, tore off a piece of tablecloth, slowly wiped the bloodstains off the knife, and turned to walk outside.

"Go to the Song family."

Lin Fan's killing intent grew increasingly intense, and one could feel a chill even through the gap.

Song Zhendao cried out in a panic, "General, this matter is our Song family's fault. How can you appease your anger? Tell me, tell me! We, the Song family, will grant you any request."

Unfortunately, Lin Fan did not answer him.

Obviously, the answer is obvious.

That is the fate of everyone in the Song family.

As the people from the Divine Warrior Division left.

The people on the street didn't know what had happened inside, but the screams were very pitiful, just like the screams of a pig being slaughtered during the New Year.

As they approached the brothel, the smell of blood grew stronger.

When the people went inside and saw the dismembered limbs scattered all over the ground, some vomited on the spot, some fainted from fright, and one strong man, who looked imposing, was so frightened that he wet his pants.

They had never seen anything so terrifying in their lives.

……

When the Song family steward relayed the news that the three masters had been captured by the Divine Martial Division back to the Song family, the young masters and ladies of the Song family instantly understood the seriousness of the situation.

They immediately mobilized the people in the fortified village; these were the soldiers the Song family kept.

On the road leading to the Song family's residence.

Song Xuewu is Song Zhendao's son and the most likely candidate to become the head of the Song family in the future. He stared intently ahead.

After learning that Song Tao had murdered Wei Feng.

He knew this was troublesome.

Based on his understanding of General Shenwu, he knew that it was impossible for the matter to be dropped so easily, and that the Song family would inevitably have to pay a heavy price. From a long-term perspective, the Song family really had to endure this.

Even at a high cost, we are willing to pay it.

Since such a powerful and valiant general held such a high position in the imperial court, and even Qin Li had been captured by him, the Song family still had to give him some face.

The idea is beautiful.

The reality is very cruel.

Who would have thought that the Divine Martial General would capture his father, second uncle, and third uncle as soon as he entered the city?

"Brother, aren't we going against the imperial court by doing this?" Song Xueming asked.

His father is Song Zhende. Now they are mobilizing the private soldiers of the fortified village to block the Shenwu Division. To put it mildly, it is to give the Shenwu Division a warning and let the Shenwu General know that the Song family is not to be trifled with.

On a larger scale, it means opposing the imperial court, and if things go wrong, you could be labeled a rebel.

Song Xuewu gritted his teeth and said, "Confrontation? Is this our Song family confronting the imperial court? This is clearly the imperial court trying to use our Song family as a scapegoat!"

Song Xueming remained silent, his fists clenched tightly.

The influence of the Song family along the Wei River is well-known; they have numerous private soldiers and are capable of rebelling.

But now, who would have thought that instead of the Song family causing trouble, it was the imperial court that was causing trouble?

"Here they come. Here they come."

Song Xuewu looked ahead and saw General Lin Fan, the Divine Martial General, walking towards him step by step, holding a goose-feather saber.

His father, second uncle, and third uncle were also detained by the Shenwu Division.

He knew he couldn't rush things.

Song Xuewu shouted, "Great General Shenwu, what exactly do you mean by this? My Song family has never had any conflict with you. Lord Wei's death was an accident, done by Song Tao alone. If you want to use this to deal with our Song family, then our Song family is not to be trifled with."

Both soft and hard approaches were employed.

The members of the Divine Martial Division walked up to Lin Fan and said, "Sir, this is Song Zhendao's son, Song Xuewu, and that is Song Zhende's son, Song Xueming."

Lin Fan's gaze was not on the two of them, but on the private soldiers they had brought.

"Listen up, I am the Divine Martial General of the Central Plains Dynasty. The Song family's murder of court officials is tantamount to rebellion. You are all subjects of the Central Plains Dynasty. I will give you one chance. Lay down your weapons and surrender now, and I will spare your lives. Otherwise, I will treat you all the same, and don't blame me for that."

He didn't intend to exterminate this group of private soldiers.

Instead, it's about giving them a chance to live.

Not all of the Song family's soldiers are here now. The Song family has many fortified villages scattered around the Wei River. No one in the Song family expected that Lin Fan would launch an attack as soon as he arrived. This was something they never expected.

The private soldiers hastily dispatched now number only about a thousand.

After Lin Fan finished speaking,

A man who looked like a private army leader said arrogantly, "What 'General of Divine Martial Arts'? Brothers, the Song family has treated us very well. We brothers only recognize the Song family, not the imperial court. Brothers, don't you agree?"

In an instant, the private soldiers shouted.

"Yes."

"You'd better be smart and release Master Song and his men right now, or you won't be able to leave the Wei River alive."

"Since that's the case, then let them all go." Lin Fan's expression was indifferent. He drew his sword and moved like a ghost, flashing past with astonishing speed.

For Song Xuewu and Song Xueming, everything went black as if a gust of wind had blown by.

When they turned around and looked back, they saw the heads of the private soldiers standing behind them all rise into the air.

The turning head and the gushing blood stained the sky red.

They were so shocked that their mouths were agape, and they were unable to recover for a long time.

"Kill! Brothers, kill!"

The private soldiers snapped out of their daze and raised their weapons to slash at Lin Fan.

Lin Fan abandoned his sword for a staff, sweeping across the battlefield. The staff whistled through the air, creating deafening sonic booms. Each strike contained the power to shatter mountains and split rocks.

boom! boom! boom!
The private soldiers struck by the iron rods felt as if their bodies had been violently rammed by a mountain, their internal organs displaced and shattered, and they were sent flying backwards in an instant.

In an instant, a one-sided massacre broke out.

"Kill!"

The private soldiers swung their knives at Lin Fan. Lin Fan raised his staff and thrust it forward with a fierce thud. The staff pierced through the soldiers' bodies with a resounding thud, and with undiminished force, it pierced through four men in succession.

"A bunch of overconfident fools."

With a flick of his wrist, Lin Fan sent the pierced corpse hurtling towards the surrounding private soldiers like a cannonball, knocking down a whole group of them.

The Song family was dumbfounded.

"Is he a human or a demon?"

They had never seen anything so terrifying.

The private soldiers retreated in panic, looking at Lin Fan with terror. They had charged forward fearlessly, but soon they realized that their so-called charge was simply courting death. As long as they got within a certain range of the enemy, their bodies would be blasted apart by the iron rods.

Pfft!
Pfft!
Some of the private soldiers, unable to withstand the pressure, knelt down and begged for mercy.

"General, spare my life! General, spare my life!"

The scene before my eyes was terrifying.

Beyond their comprehension.

The other party was clearly just one person, but the sense of oppression he exerted on them was like that of a thousand troops.

Lin Fan glanced at them disdainfully, swung his stick and sent the kneeling private soldiers flying. Then he took a step forward, unleashing his full power, striking with each blow and sending them flying.

None of the private soldiers present could withstand it.

The people hid themselves, while some of the bolder ones peeked out from behind a corner and witnessed what was happening outside. The sight terrified them, and their hands and feet trembled.

In Lin Fan's view.

Giving them a chance to live was already an act of mercy on his part.

But since they don't cherish it at all, there's nothing more to say.

When you finally beg for mercy when you're truly afraid, don't you think it's already too late?
Private soldiers clutched their heads, screaming in terror, and fled in all directions. They had been supported by the Song family and lived a very comfortable life, so they learned that the Song family was in trouble.

They naturally had no choice but to serve the Song family without hesitation.

Moreover.

They believed in the power of the Song family, who reigned supreme over the Wei River.

Who can be a match for the Song family?

But Lin Fan's series of domineering methods completely shocked them.

I don’t know how long.

The streets were littered with corpses. Lin Fan did not chase after the fleeing private soldiers. At the moment, these guys were not important. All he wanted to do was make the Song family understand who was behind Wei Feng, whom they had killed.

Song Xueming's legs trembled, making it difficult for him to stand. His face was deathly pale, devoid of any color.

Even Song Xuewu was the same.

Even though he had complete faith in his family's abilities, at this moment, he really wanted to ask Song Tao, "Bastard, what kind of terrifying being have you provoked the Song family?"

The members of the Divine Martial Division who followed remained silent, witnessing everything before them, and they were proud to be able to follow the Great General.

The general would never abandon any of them.

If they are wronged or bullied, the general will stand up for them.

If someone is murdered, the general will personally step in and kill the perpetrator until they are terrified.

"Let's go, take them to the Song family," Lin Fan said.

Song Zhendao fully understood the seriousness of the matter; the methods of the Divine Martial General had exceeded his imagination.

"General, please calm down, please calm down!" Song Zhendao shouted. At this time, it was difficult for the private soldiers from other fortified villages to get over, and they didn't even know what was happening here.

If the Song family were truly wiped out.

Those fortified villages were leaderless, and the imperial court could easily take them down without any difficulty.

"Calm down?" Lin Fan laughed instead of getting angry. "There's no way to calm down. The only way is to use the lives of your Song family."

"It seems that I was too soft-hearted, which made you think that there was still room for negotiation after killing my people."

"It's my fault, I didn't kill enough."

"From this day forward, I will make everyone in the entire Central Plains Dynasty know that anyone who dares to lay a hand on the Divine Martial Division or my people will face certain death."

These words made Song Zhendao's body go weak. If he hadn't been held hostage by the Divine Martial Division, he probably would have collapsed to the ground.

Ning Yu said, "Master is right. Anyone, no matter their status or background, who dares to touch Master's people is doomed."

What is a sense of security?

This is what security is.

Even if you are unfortunately killed, you can rest assured that when you get to the underworld, you don't need to rush to be reincarnated. You can wait a while and you will see the people who killed you, and even their families, going down to keep you company like dumplings being dropped into boiling water.

When they arrived at the Song family's residence.

There were no obstacles as I had imagined; instead, the door was wide open.

Lin Fan walked to the front of the Song family's gate, looked up at the Song family's plaque, and turned to Song Zhen, saying, "Take a few more looks, because after today, you won't be able to see it again."

After saying that, he lifted his foot and stepped onto the steps of the Song family's gate. Each step was heavy, and the sound of his footsteps echoed inside.

When we arrived in the courtyard.

Contrary to expectations, there was no panic. Instead, the entire Song family gathered together, and an elderly man holding a golden dragon-headed cane sat upright in a grand chair in front of them.

This old man is the current ancestor of the Song family, a living fossil who has lived through the reigns of three emperors.

He is also the mainstay of the Song family today.

Even the emperor would have to show the utmost respect upon seeing him, and he is the most untouchable person in the world today, because this old man is the literary sage in the hearts of today's scholars.

Lin Fan's appearance sent a chill down the spines of the Song family. The blood-stained iron rod indicated that he had killed many people, and the screams that had echoed outside further unsettled them, leaving them in a state of turmoil.

If it weren't for their ancestor's presence, they would never have been able to remain so calm in the face of the Divine Martial General who exuded murderous intent.

The old man spoke slowly in a deep voice: "General Shenwu, I am Song Cangmiao. I was unaware of your arrival and have failed to greet you properly. I learned about Lord Wei of Shenwu Division too late and I am deeply sorry for that. Now that you have vented your anger, I think that's enough."

"Not enough, not nearly enough," Lin Fan said.

Song Cangmiao said, “My Song family has a history of more than 500 years, passed down from generation to generation. When the founding emperor established the country, my Song family provided great help. Now, the appearance of a rebellious son like Song Tao in the clan is a disgrace to our Song family. It is understandable that the general killed him. He brought it on himself. My Song family will never retaliate. We only hope that this matter can end here and not lead to a bigger conflict.”

For Song Miao, the fact that the other party was able to come to the Song family meant that all the previous obstacles had been useless.

If they resist now.

They were completely incapable of competing with the other side.

Therefore, the best approach is to calm the other person down and engage in polite conversation.

It doesn't matter if you're a little weak.

This family has been a prominent clan for hundreds of years, weathering countless storms and ups and downs. They've seen it all. As long as they're alive, they'll have plenty of opportunities for revenge in the future.

"Excusable circumstances?" Lin Fan laughed. "You Song family killed my men, and now I've killed him, and you say it's excusable? Do you think I, this general, need your excuses?"

"As for a bigger conflict? Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

Lin Fan shouted angrily.

He didn't take Song Cangmiao seriously at all.

"Old man, don't pretend to be profound and magnanimous in front of me. Do you really think I didn't investigate your Song family or you, you old man, when I came here?"

“You have served three emperors. The second emperor was bullied quite badly by your Song family, and you old man were the mastermind.”

"Let me tell you, the reason I came to the Wei River and to your Song family today is that I never intended to give your Song family a chance to live."

Lin Fan showed the other party no respect whatsoever.

What can the Song family's ancestors do? They are a powerful clan that has existed for hundreds of years, occupying a place and committing countless crimes. It's easy to imagine how dark this place must be, where even the law cannot reach.

really.

As he said these words.

Song Cangmiao's face was very ugly, and anger burst forth in her cloudy eyes.

"How dare you speak to my ancestor of the Song family like that! Even His Majesty wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous!" a junior member of the Song family rebuked angrily.

In this younger generation's mind, the Song family is the most powerful and domineering force.

He might not dare to jump out and rebuke others when they are being criticized.

But if the ancestor is scolded, there's no need to even think about it; just come out and rebuke him. Then not only will the elders in the clan praise him, but even the ancestor will remember him.

Lin Fan's gaze sharpened. The speaker was a boy of about fourteen or fifteen years old, with an arrogant and fierce expression on his face. His eyes revealed a sense of ignorance and arrogance as he looked at Lin Fan.

Should we indulge him?
call out!
puff!

Without saying a word, Lin Fan threw the iron rod in his hand. It was as fast as lightning and pierced through the boy's chest. This sudden scene shocked everyone present.

"Ah! My son..."

"I'll fight you."

The woman, who had just seen her son dare to challenge the other party, lost all her joy and was immediately filled with anger. She grabbed at Lin Fan like a shrew.

Lin Fan flicked his wrist, and the goose-feather blade slashed out, a flash of cold light.

The woman who rushed over froze on the spot, clutching her bleeding throat with both hands, her eyes wide open, swaying precariously, and then collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"what……"

The Song family members screamed in terror.

Song Cangmiao's face was ashen, her chest heaving. "General Lin, are you really going to defy the world and take action against my Song family?"

"What do you mean by 'outrageous'? I'd like to ask you, if your Song family dares to lay a hand on my Divine Martial Division, aren't you really afraid I'll wipe you out?" Lin Fan showed no fear as he walked step by step toward Song Cangmiao.

Some of the younger generation retreated in fear, while others stepped forward, trying to block Lin Fan.

But Lin Fan didn't tolerate them at all. He swung his knife and killed all the Song family members lying in front of him. Some of the blood splattered onto Song Cangmiao.

Enraged, Song Cangmiao pounded the ground repeatedly with his dragon-headed staff. "Traitor! You traitor! This is the dragon-headed staff bestowed upon my Song family by the founding emperor. Seeing this staff is like seeing the founding emperor. Now I demand that you kneel down!"

Song Cangmiao understood that sweet talk was useless; Lin Fan was determined to deal with the Song family.

He suddenly stood up and pointed the dragon-headed staff at Lin Fan.

He wanted the other party to understand.

The Song family's foundation is far beyond his reach.

The accumulated foundation over hundreds of years is far beyond what a mere general like you can contend with. You are merely enjoying the emperor's favor; in a true comparison, you are far inferior.

As Song Cangmiao intimidated Lin Fan with her dragon-headed staff, the Song family members who had been retreating mustered their courage again, took a few steps forward, and stood firmly behind their ancestor.

Song Zhendao said, “General Lin, the dragon-headed staff was bestowed upon the Song family by the founding emperor, and it also bears an imperial edict. People of later generations who see this staff are as if they see the founding emperor. Even if His Majesty were to come and see this staff, he would have to kneel down to respectfully welcome the founding emperor’s possession.”

Lin Fan snatched the dragon-headed staff from Song Cangmiao's hand and shoved her into the armchair. "Is your brain a pile of shit? Dragon-headed staff... what is that? What does it have to do with me? I've never seen any Emperor Taizu. Don't try to fool me with this junk."

After saying that, he suddenly used all his strength to break the dragon-headed staff in two, and even continued to break it in a fit of anger.

"You...you." Song Cangmiao clutched his chest in anger, unable to catch his breath. He never expected the other party to be so audacious as to dare to damage the dragon-headed staff bestowed by the founding emperor.

"Ancestor, ancestor."

The three patriarchs of the Song family called out anxiously.

But they were held tightly by the Shenwu Division and unable to move, so they could only watch helplessly.

Pfft!
Song Zhendao knelt down, pleading bitterly, "General, things have come to this, what more do you want? My Song family accepts it. Our ancestor is old and cannot be angered. We only beg the General to show mercy."

puff!

Lin Fan swung his sword, and in an instant, the scene fell completely silent. Everyone stared in horror at the scene before them, utterly terrified. They looked at their ancestor in terror.

The old ancestor slumped in the armchair, his hands hanging limply at his sides, blood gushing from his throat.

“Since I can’t let myself get angry, then I’ll just die. If I die, this situation won’t happen again,” Lin Fan said.

"You're crazy, you're a madman."

Song Zhendao roared, his eyes bloodshot, struggling violently. When Lin Fan drew his knife and killed his ancestor, he finally understood that the Divine Martial General in front of him truly wanted the Song family dead.

Lin Fan said coldly, "Madman? Patriarch Song, you should understand that when your Song family attacked the Divine Martial Division, even if the Heavenly King himself came, it would be useless."

"Run."

Seeing this, the younger generation of the Song family would not stand there foolishly anymore. They turned around and ran, but the people from the Divine Martial Division blocked the door. Where could they run?

Lin Fan had no pity for the Song family. Whether they had done evil in the past or not was no longer important. If they touched anyone close to him, even a stray dog ​​on the roadside that dared to bark would be sent to meet its mate.

Street.

A group of pale-faced people gathered outside the Song family's house.

They listened to the screams coming from inside, not knowing what was happening, but in their minds it certainly wasn't a good thing.

After all, how could a normal person scream so miserably?

As for the Song family's situation along the Wei River, all they can say is that people with the means all tried to escape the Wei River and live elsewhere.

Some of the younger generation in the Song family are simply beasts.

If you offend the Song family at the Wei River, reporting it to the authorities will be useless. Sometimes even officials can't protect themselves. There was an official sent by the court who was indeed in charge, but what was the final result?

It was all destroyed by the Song family.

Sudden.

They heard heart-wrenching sounds coming from the Song family's house.

"Stop! Stop!" Song Zhendao was going crazy. He had watched with his own eyes as Lin Fan killed members of the Song family. The figures lying motionless on the ground represented the Song family bloodline disappearing at an extremely fast speed.

Song Zhende looked at Song Zhenli and said, "Look at what your son has done. He's pushing our Song family into the abyss."

Song Zhenli was now completely powerless, collapsing to the ground. The scene before him left him speechless.

It's over, everything's ruined.

Ning Yu looked at the three Song family patriarchs and said, "You brought this on yourselves. Don't blame my master for being ruthless. When you didn't take the Divine Martial Division seriously, you should have thought about the current situation."

"Actually, you did have a chance before, but unfortunately, you were too confident in your own power."

"Forget it, there's no point in telling you all this. If there's a next life, be smarter and don't make the same mistakes."

Ning Yu knows her master very well.

That's why she said that.

After a long time.

Lin Fan returned carrying a blood-dripping goose-feather saber, leaving bloody footprints with each step, until he stood before Song Zhendao, the blade pressed against him.

Tick ​​tock!Tick ​​tock!
Blood slid down the blade and onto the ground.

The ticking sound made Song Zhendao freeze in shock. After a moment, he slowly raised his head and stared blankly at Lin Fan. His eyes no longer held the glory of the so-called Song family halo; instead, they held only fear and despair.

"The Song family should only have the three of you left now. Do you know that even if I kill you all now, I still won't be able to quell the hatred in my heart?"

"I still have to send my men back to their hometowns. I also have to face their families. They came out with me safely to fight the enemy and bandits. I can't bear to let them charge into battle. I'm afraid something might happen to them."

"I thought that with my halo surrounding him, and that he would be placed in various prefectures and places according to the law, nothing would go wrong. But I never expected that he would die in a place I thought would be safe."

Lin Fan's eyes flashed with a cold light.

Song Zhendao was utterly desperate. His gaze when he met Lin Fan's was like a dry well, devoid of any further emotion.

"You deserve to die..."

He forced out a final, venomous curse from the depths of his throat.

puff!

The blade flashed like a cold moon, and Song Zhendao's roar came to an abrupt halt, leaving only blood gushing from his throat.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me..." Song Zhende cried out, terrified by Lin Fan. The once powerful Song family in his heart had been wiped out by the other party.

What about the private soldiers of the fortified village?

Where are they?

puff!

Lin Fan acted swiftly and without the slightest hesitation.

Immediately, he stood before Song Zhenli with his knife, the blood-dripping tip pointing directly at his face.

"What I want is for your entire Song family to be buried with my people." Lin Fan's voice was low and filled with killing intent. "This is the final fate of those who have wronged me."

"So what if you're a powerful clan with centuries of history? So what if you hold the dragon-headed staff of the founding emperor? Even if the founding emperor himself were to rise from the dead and stand here, I would still ask him if he wanted to die with your Song family!"

These words are utterly treasonous.

But the members of the Divine Warrior Division present acted as if they hadn't heard anything.

Wei Feng was their brother.

Now, for Wei Feng's sake, the lord has slaughtered the Song family, a powerful clan that has existed for centuries. This is to avenge their brothers. They know that if they follow the lord, he will not let them suffer.

Look at Yang Ming's wedding back then.

As the first couple to get married, the scene was incredibly grand, with high-ranking officials and even the emperor himself attending. What an honor and what a spectacle!

Yang Ming's wife was even rewarded by the emperor.

These were all obtained by the adults on Yang Ming's behalf.

They all followed the adults from Yong'an step by step. The adults said that as long as they followed him, he would guarantee that they would not be disappointed and would all live a life of luxury together.

The adults did not disappoint them.

The adults did it.

Having come from a small town, they had seen a lot of the world, especially those assigned to the Weihe Divine Martial Division. During their time there, how could they not know how high the status and how powerful the Song family was?

Anyone else would certainly be unwilling to stand up for their subordinates.

Only their adults are willing.

Song Zhende was also stunned by Lin Fan's outrageous words, but now he knew that it was basically impossible for him to survive.

"You surnamed Lin, you won't get away with this."

puff!

One strike solves it.

Song Zhende clutched his neck, collapsed to the ground, trembled a few times, and then stopped breathing.

Lin Fan turned around and looked at the surrounding situation. The aristocratic families that had existed for hundreds of years had been dealt with by him without any preparation.

Just then, a general in full armor rushed in and respectfully clasped his hands in greeting.

"This humble general, Tian Gong, pays his respects to the Great General. His Majesty, having heard of the events at the Wei River, has specially ordered this humble general to lead his troops here to await orders."

Tamiya sniffed the air and felt the strong smell of blood around him. Suddenly, he saw the corpse lying on the ground.

He recognized the head of the Song family and the Song family patriarch at a glance.

Judging from the situation, it seems he was killed by the general.

In an instant.

A chill ran from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head, and he was completely dumbfounded. He never expected that the general would kill the pillar of the Song family.

This...this.

He felt as if the sky had fallen.

Lin Fan remained calm and said indifferently, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I have wiped out the entire Song family, but those fortified villages are still there. Since you have led your troops here, you can deal with them."

"Yes, Your subordinate obeys." Tamiya immediately replied.

He was very flustered. When the Duke notified him to come, he specifically instructed him that the Song family had many fortified villages and a large number of private soldiers. If the general encountered difficulties from the Song family...

You must let the Song family know, no matter what, that His Majesty is furious about their actions.

But now... there's no need for the Song family to know this.

The entire Song family was killed.

After giving his instructions, Lin Fan left the Song residence and headed towards the Divine Martial Division. Wei Feng's body was still there; he was going to send it to Yong'an.

After Lin Fan left, Tamiya quickly summoned his trusted aide and told him to report back immediately what had happened, as something serious had occurred.

How revered was the Song family patriarch in the hearts of scholars throughout the land!

General Shenwu's actions were tantamount to stirring up a hornet's nest.

The ensuing storm was beyond his imagination.

He forced himself to remain calm and ordered his soldiers to guard the Song residence strictly, forbidding anyone from entering or leaving.

Although the tragedy inside the mansion was horrific, fortunately, the high walls provided a barrier, and the people outside could only hear the sounds but knew nothing of the details.

All he can do now is to keep the news under wraps and wait for the court's decision.

The Shenwu Division branch, courtyard.

Lin Fan stood beside the coffin, his hand resting on the coffin lid, gently touching it, and said softly, "You came out with me because you trust me and willingly acknowledge me as your elder brother. But I failed to protect you. But don't worry, those who deserved to die are all dead. I'm taking you home now."

"Raise the coffin and return to Yong'an."

The members of the Divine Martial Division, with solemn expressions, carried the coffin onto the carriage.

……

a few days later.

Tamiya's message has been relayed back.

in the hall.

The emperor opened the letter himself, his expression calm as he read, but as he read on, the contents of the letter startled him so much that his eyelids twitched. He then closed the letter expressionlessly and looked down at the civil and military officials below.

"Retreat."

"My three beloved ministers, Duke, Grand Tutor, and Grand Protector, please wait and follow me."

Upon hearing this, the three senior ministers were startled, realizing that this must be news from the Wei River, but based on their understanding of His Majesty...

He knew full well that the contents of the letter he had just received were absolutely earth-shattering.

Something terrible must have happened.

Royal study room.

"Your Majesty, is there any news from the Wei River?" the Duke asked.

"You can see for yourselves." The emperor took out the letter and told them to read it themselves. The three old ministers quickly gathered around and looked at the contents of the letter.

"what!"

"what!"

"what!"

Three incredulous exclamations rang out.

The three stared at each other, their eyes filled with shock. They carefully read the contents of the letter again and confirmed that they had not misread it.

The Duke placed the letter on the table, paced back and forth, and then suddenly stopped.

"Your Majesty, the deed has already been done. Now Your Majesty must make an announcement to the world immediately. We can only use the Grand Protector's method to let the people of the world know that the Song family was destroyed because of a rebellion, and at the same time, publish the evidence of the Song family's crimes."

The Duke knew that Lin Fan was very fierce.

But I never expected them to be so ruthless. The huge Song family was wiped out just like that?

Oh, right... It's not that the Song family is incompetent, but rather that they didn't expect the Divine Martial General to directly draw his sword and start killing. If they were to mobilize all the private soldiers from the surrounding fortified villages...

Things are not that simple.

The Grand Tutor and the Grand Protector swallowed nervously.

At this moment, they finally realized just how incredibly audacious the Divine Martial General truly was.
