Although Luo Kunlun controlled his strength when moving the underground palace and caused no casualties, chaos spread like a plague from the royal palace in the new capital in all directions.

The sight of the underground palace being uprooted and thrown out with a bang was witnessed by countless people.

The overwhelming shadows, the deafening roar, and the eerie light rising from the ground completely shattered their understanding of the world.

A knight who can take on a hundred men on the battlefield? Compared to that terrifying being who can move an entire underground palace like a stone, he is nothing but an ant.

Panic screams echoed through the streets and alleys. People pushed and shoved each other, and shop doors were smashed. Goods on shelves were scattered all over the ground and trampled to pieces by the hurried footsteps.

The once orderly capital city was instantly transformed into a living hell.

"It's divine retribution!" Someone knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly towards the direction of the palace, tears streaming down their face. "It must be that Olsen angered the gods, bringing about this calamity!"

"It's a demon! The demon that was hiding underground has been dragged out!" another person screamed, his voice filled with terror. "Those disappearing people, the crying in the sewers—it's all the demon's doing!"

Rumors spread like wildfire, becoming increasingly outrageous.

Some say they saw colossal beasts soaring through the sky, their scales as black as ink, their wingspans blotting out the heavens. Others say they saw demons crawling out of the earth, their faces blue and their fangs baring, devouring the living. Still others say that the calamities of the old capital were not natural disasters at all, but the work of demons, and now the new capital is destined to follow in its footsteps.

Chaos reigned even more within the royal palace.

The new king, Olsen, was deathly pale, slumped on his throne, trembling all over. He was nothing more than a puppet supported by the Dawn Society, used to a life of luxury, and had never seen anything like this before.

The moment the underground palace beneath the capital was unearthed, he knew that the Dawn Society was finished, and his reign as king was over.

"Protect the Emperor! Protect the Emperor!" Olsen screamed hysterically, his voice trembling. "Quickly, close the inner city gates! Arrest all those rioters!"

But at this point, no one dared to carry out his orders.

The knights guarding the palace had either already vanished without a trace, or were huddled in a corner, trembling with fear.

They once thought themselves the kingdom's elite force, but now, faced with that world-destroying power, they didn't even have the courage to draw their swords.

It was like an ant seeing a towering giant.

The nobles who remained behind were even more ashen-faced. They understood better than the common people what that underground palace meant.

That was the stronghold of the Dawn Society, the patronage upon which these nobles relied. Now that their patronage has crumbled, how could they, the ones who depended on them, possibly remain unscathed?

Some had already begun packing their valuables, preparing to flee the capital immediately. Others clung to a sliver of hope, praying that the terrifying being wouldn't target them, and would leave as soon as they wiped out the Dawn Society.

Unfortunately, that's impossible.

Amid the chaos, a black figure silently descended upon the palace square.

Luo Kunlun hovered in mid-air, scanning the chaos below. The panic of the common people, the confusion of the nobles, and the king's disheveled state were all within his sight. His spiritual power enveloped the entire capital, and no disturbance could escape his perception.

He had to intervene in this chaos.

The collapse of the Dawn Society and the loss of the puppet king's backer inevitably led to chaos in the capital, a reshuffling of power in the mortal world.

Controlling the entire kingdom, and even the entire continent of Volo, was necessary for him.

The corrupt aristocratic class can be used as sacrifices for the Soul Refining Witch Array, and the knowledge contained in the extraordinary relics of the entire continent can enhance the foundation of Luo Kunlun.

His gaze fell upon a secret chamber deep within the palace. There, Olsen was hiding with two women.

After his orders failed, Olsen, along with his two favorite concubines, hid in a secret chamber, praying that the wizards who had killed the Dawn Society were not interested in the mortal realm and would not interfere in all of this.

In this way, he could still retain power.

Unfortunately, his ideas were nothing but fantasy.

"Even at this point, he still hasn't forgotten to bring a woman along."

Luo Kunlun raised his hand and waved it, and an invisible force blasted open the door to the secret chamber.

"Spare me, sir, spare me!"

Olsen knelt on the ground and kept begging for mercy, while the remaining two women were also crying their eyes out.

Luo Kunlun didn't bother to look at them. With a thought, he used his telekinetic power to capture all the nobles in the palace.

At the same time, he addressed the entire capital.

"Stop everything!"

As they spoke, an invisible pressure weighed on everyone's hearts.

As a first-ring creature, lower-ring creatures would instinctively feel fear in his presence, not to mention that most of the people in the capital were mortals.

After calming the crowd, Luo Kunlun continued, "I have eliminated the demons here. They caused disasters, destroyed a city nine years ago, and then secretly manipulated the kingdom, capturing children to conduct evil experiments."

"And the many nobles, including the king, are their henchmen, providing conveniences to the demons in exchange for benefits, so they too must be eliminated!"

Before he finished speaking, Luo Kunlun laid out the bodies of the young children he had found in the underground palace on the square.

Just by looking, one can understand how cruelly these children were treated before they died.

This confirms what Luo Kunlun said.

This infuriated the people of the capital, something that had never happened before.

In the past, it was not uncommon for nobles to kill innocent passersby in the street for fun.

But behind the scenes, how many things are even more chilling and terrifying?

no one knows.

But ordinary people dare not speak out about it.

Nobles possessed the power of knights, and commoners had no way to resist them. Offending a noble was a serious crime in any country.

But now things are different. Many people have seen it: the nobles in the city, regardless of gender, have all been captured and taken to the sky.

At the city gate, some people spotted knights carrying packs, hurriedly fleeing outside the city.

Their bags were filled with crushed gold and silver utensils; they were fleeing a disaster.

I don't know where to escape to, but the farther away from here the better!

And so, something that had never happened before on this land occurred.

"Kill! Kill them!"

It's unclear who shouted this, but it caused quite a stir.

"Kill these beasts in human skin!"

"They actually made a deal with the devil! I curse their descendants for eighteen generations to suffer a terrible death!"

...

Seeing the situation below, Luo Kunlun was quite satisfied.

At least there's still courage, at least there's still a possibility of change.

Unfortunately, the Bauhinia Kingdom is not an archipelago; it has a larger population, making the process naturally more complicated.

Luo Kunlun could forcefully suppress him, but he couldn't stay here indefinitely.

The aristocratic system of rule has existed for countless years, with social classes remaining rigid and commoners unable and unwilling to rebel against the aristocracy.

It's like throwing an egg against a rock; you can't possibly win. How can you fight back?

Most people have no choice but to accept it.
