In the hall, Yan Conglong and others were looking at Ning Chen sat cross-legged on the ground, staring outside the hall, and did not speak for a while. His father no longer supports him, but the martial arts alliance still has to be formed, so every step forward will be full of difficulties. At this moment, he thought of what Chen Xian said again, and made a big fuss in Lizhou. These four words kept echoing in his mind. He thought of the old blind man in the dark, the Gun Master Yang Yu, and for a moment he was full of confidence again. As long as he doesn't die, there are always more solutions than problems. It was early October and the weather turned cold. Li Quanwu did encounter obstacles. In fact, it was not that Li Quanwu encountered trouble, but that recently, fewer and fewer people and small forces went to Li Mansion and wanted to join the Martial Arts Alliance. Even the small forces that had joined before found excuses to withdraw from the Martial Arts Alliance. Obviously, someone is interfering in this matter. Li Quanwu found Ning Chen and explained the matter. Ning Chen asked, "Has this matter been reported to the Chief Alliance Leader of Hancheng?"

Li Quanwu nodded: "I have already reported it. The chief leader only said one thing, let me discuss the matter of Lizhou with His Highness." Ning Chen frowned. It seemed that Fist Saint King Yin was not going to interfere in Lizhou's affairs. "What's the situation in other realms?" he asked. Li Quan said: "Since the news of the Lizhou Martial Arts Alliance spread in the martial arts world, half a month later, the Sixth Prince of Qingyang Realm also started to openly establish a Martial Arts Alliance. The same was true for the Fourth Prince of Luozhou and the Eighth Prince of Yanzhou. However, the Second Prince of Fengtian did not openly establish one. The Second Prince did not even show up to say what relationship he had with the Martial Arts Alliance." "However, the martial arts alliance over there was formed by the Peng family, a great family in Fengtian City. The Peng family has a high prestige in Fengtian City. In addition, they have long been on the side of the imperial court, so they don't have any forces to cause trouble. However, it is also difficult to form it." "In Yunzhou and Dongyou, the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince are not in the mood to form an alliance." "The three princes of Qingyang, Luozhou, and Yanzhou don't seem to be very concerned. I don't know how the alliance is going. I think their situation is similar to ours." Ning Chen frowned and said, "It has come to this point. There is no room for redemption. The Martial Arts Alliance will continue to be established. Regardless of whether Hancheng will help or not, we have to work hard on our own." "If you fail to raise a cavalry of 100,000 within three years, your Majesty will certainly punish you." Li Quanwu's face turned ugly when he heard this: "Your Highness, if it is not completed within three years, will I be held responsible?" Ning Chen said: "I will take care of it for you." Li Quanwu heard this and sighed, "I understand. From now on, I will obey the orders of His Royal Highness Prince Li." Ning Chen nodded: "Let's proceed with the original plan. Report to me all the people who are still in the alliance, between 18 and 50 years old, who are willing to go to the training camp. You don't have to worry about other things." Currently in the Lizhou military camp, there are less than 10,000 soldiers above the Yuhai realm. It is extremely difficult to build a force of 100,000 within three years. But Ning Chen never thought of giving up, he was determined to do it no matter how difficult it was. After Li Quanwu left, he asked Liu Dai to call Nie Yongxuan over. "See Your Highness!" Nie Yongxuan walked into the hall and bowed respectfully. "How was the interrogation of the bandits?" Ning Chen asked.

"Your Highness, please give me another three days." Nie Yongxuan said. "Okay, how many bandits have been found to be in collusion with the banker?" Ning Chen asked. "There are about two thousand people." Nie Yongxuan said. "That's enough. Send the files to me immediately." "Yes, Your Highness!" Nie Yongxuan turned and left. Ning Chen asked Cao Chong to inform General Xie Zifeng, and Zhang Xing to find Gou Da Teng of the Gou family to prepare to deal with the banker. Half an hour later, Xie Zifeng came to the palace to meet Ning Chen. "Integrate the team. Five thousand cavalrymen, head to Donglin County City first." "It's Your Highness!" Xie Zifeng didn't ask and turned and left. In fact, there is no need to ask, the biggest force in Donglin County is the banker. After Xie Zifeng left, Nie Yongxuan came with confessions from more than 2,000 bandits, all of which were evidence of the banker's secret collusion with the bandits. Ning Chen took a quick look at the file and put it away. With these evidences, he could deal with the banker in Donglin County without any scruples. One day later. Xie Zifeng, with five thousand cavalry, has quietly arrived outside Donglin County. At the same time, Ning Chen also brought Gou Dateng and others to Donglin County. The gates of Donglin County City were closed everywhere. Ning Chen glanced at Yan Conglong. Yan Conglong stepped forward with his spear in hand, staring at the commander of the City Guard on the city wall and asked, "Your Highness the Ninth Prince is here, why are you closing the city gates?" On the city gate, the commander, who looked to be in his thirties, had a grim expression on his face. He said, "Recently, many bandits have sneaked into the city. The city lord has ordered his subordinates to guard the city gates strictly. No one is allowed to enter." "How dare you." Yan Conglong shouted, "Get Li Huoquan out of here." Li Huoquan is the mayor of Donglin County City, and has the strength of the ninth level of Tiangang Realm. The commander looked unhappy and turned away. Soon, a middle-aged man in green appeared on the city gate. It was Li Huoquan. He stared at Yan Conglong below and shouted, "Who wants to see this city lord?" "Li Huoquan, are you looking for death? The Ninth Prince came to Donglin County City, why did you close the city gate?" Yan Conglong shouted. "Your Majesty Ninth Prince?" Li Huoquan looked flustered, but soon calmed down: "How dare you! The Ninth Prince came to Donglin County City, why didn't this city lord receive the document?" "You bandits, dare you pretend to be His Highness the Ninth Prince? Shoot me!" Yan Conglong was furious. Li Huoquan was really looking for death.

Ning Chen had come to Donglin County City to eliminate bandits before. At that time, Li Huoquan was trembling with fear. It had only been a month, and he was already pretending not to know the Ninth Prince. He must have colluded with the banker. Ning Chen frowned, wondering where Li Huoquan got the confidence from. "Kill him!" he said calmly. Gou Dateng nodded, soared into the sky with the thunder and rain umbrella in his hand, and walked towards the city gate step by step. Thousands of arrows flew towards him, but were all blocked by the black umbrella. They were unable to break through the defensive power of the Thunderstorm Umbrella. Li Huoquan's face was extremely ugly. If his family had not been coerced by the banker, how could he have the courage to confront His Highness the Ninth Prince? Seeing Gou Da Teng rushing to the city gate, Li Huoquan shouted: "Your Highness, I was coerced by the banker!" Shouting, he knelt down on the city gate and ordered the commander around him to open the gate quickly. If the city gate is not opened, he will definitely die. "Don't drive!" A cold shout was heard from the city, and a middle-aged man strode over and collided with Gou Dateng who landed on the city gate. "Zhuang Zhenghai!" After Gou Da Teng's Thunder and Rain Umbrella took the latter's blow, it stood suspended in the air: "Do you think the banker can stop the imperial army?" As the patriarch of the Zhuang family, Zhuang Zhenghai naturally understood that the purpose of the Ninth Prince's visit to Donglin County City was to deal with his Zhuang family. He still had to buy some time for his family. However, Donglin County City had been besieged by Xie Zifeng's 5,000 cavalry. The Zhuang family had more people than the Feng family in Shanhai City, but there were not many masters in the family, less than 3,000 people above the Jade Sea Realm, so they could not stop the 5,000 cavalry. What's more, the five thousand cavalrymen brought by Xie Zifeng are the elites of the Lizhou military camp. There are four or five people in the Wanxiang Realm. Together with Yan Conglong and the Gou family who are in the Wanxiang Realm, there are a total of fourteen or fifteen people. There are at most seven people in the Zhuang family's Wanxiang realm, and the main one is the ancestor who has mastered the magical powers. "Gou Da Teng, your Gou family has been passed down for thousands of years, why do you want to be loyal to the court?" Zhuang Zhenghai stared at Gou Datang coldly. He really couldn't understand. The Gou family was the most promising family among the martial arts families in Lizhou. Any force would give face to the family members when they traveled in Lizhou. What are the benefits of being loyal to the royal family? Gou Da Teng said calmly: "Everyone has their own aspirations. My Gou family stands on the side of the imperial court. This is my Gou family's decision. It has nothing to do with the Lizhou martial arts world, and it will not affect the Lizhou martial arts world." "I came here with His Majesty the Ninth Prince today to question you. Zhuang Zhenghai, you know clearly what your family did in Lizhou. The bandits in Lizhou were all trained by Dinghai Tower and your family. His Majesty the Ninth Prince also has evidence of your family's collusion with the bandits to harm the people." "If you know what's best for you, take your family with you and wait for His Highness's decision. Otherwise, when the army enters the city, your family will be wiped out." Zhuang Zhenghai sneered. Ever since Dinghai Tower was destroyed more than a month ago, he knew that the Zhuang family would be held accountable by the Ninth Prince sooner or later. During this month, he discussed with the ancestor and originally wanted to escape with the Zhuang family, but there were too many people in the Zhuang family and he had to abandon most of them in order to escape. Therefore, the ancestor took the young generation of talents of the Zhuang family and left Donglin County City long ago. If the Ninth Prince had not come to cause trouble for the banker, they would have come back. But if the Ninth Prince had come, the banker would have been finished. "Stop talking nonsense. If you want to kill me, just do it." Zhuang Zhenghai looked ready to die. Xie Zifeng leaped forward to kill him, and Gou Dateng at the side also attacked again, and the two of them rushed towards Zhuang Zhenghai. In the farmhouse yard. The elders of the Zhuang family and the middle forces watched Xie Zifeng and the other man suppress Zhuang Zhenghai.

An elder said coldly: "Go ahead, hold the city residents hostage, and give our people a chance to escape." At this point, the bankers have no way out and can only fight hard. Before the imperial army enters the city, they can kidnap some of the people in the city as hostages. "Follow me!" Zhuang Zhengtao shouted, and led the Zhuang family members to the street and hacked and killed the common people. Puff puff…… Human heads rolled to the ground one after another, and the street immediately became chaotic with screams everywhere. Ning Chen outside the city and Xi Zifeng and Gou Datang who were fighting fiercely with Zhuang Zhenghai naturally heard the screams. They scanned with their spiritual eyes and found that the Zhuang family was slaughtering the citizens and driving them towards the south gate of the city. "court death!" There was a cold light flashing in Ning Chen's eyes. This banker was really courting death. "Attack the city with force!" Following his order, five thousand cavalrymen all rushed into the sky and charged onto the city wall. The city guards on the wall did not dare to stop them at all. They were so scared that they hugged their heads and squatted on the ground. The five thousand cavalrymen ignored him completely and rushed towards the dealer with spears in hand. Zhuang Zhengtao didn't expect that the 5,000 cavalrymen didn't care about the safety of the citizens at all and went straight to his house. He roared and could only return to defend. Ning Chen also led the Gou family to the door of the Zhuang family, but he did not see any powerful person in the supernatural power realm rushing out of the Zhuang family. It was obvious that the powerful person in the supernatural power realm was no longer in the mansion. "Don't leave any one alive!" he ordered coldly. Zhuang Zhengtao rushed towards him with a sword in hand, but was stopped by Nie Yongxuan and Yan Conglong. Five thousand cavalrymen rushed into the village, and screams were heard everywhere. Some members of the Zhuang family returned to defend, while others continued to kill the citizens. Members of the Gou family took action one after another, intercepting and killing the Zhuang family to prevent them from continuing to kill the citizens. Soon, Zhuang Zhenghai was subdued by Xie Zifeng and Gou Datang. He couldn't escape even though he wanted to. His chest was pierced and blood was flowing. Xie Zifeng pinched Zhuang Zhenghai's neck with one hand, rode his horse to Ning Chen, and crippled Zhuang Zhenghai in front of Ning Chen. More than half of the Zhuang family members were killed in the sweep of 5,000 cavalrymen, and the tribe flowed like a river of blood. “No, no...!” Zhuang Zhenghai watched his tribesmen being killed one by one, his eyes bloodshot and he roared. However, Ning Chen did not call for a stop. Looking at the bloody scene of the Zhuang family, he stared at the outside of Donglin County. The ancestor of the Zhuang family was really patient. He watched the Zhuang family members being killed but just refused to show up. A thousand miles east of the city, in a valley, an old man wearing a bamboo hat was trembling all over. This man was none other than the ancestor of the Zhuang family, Zhuang Chongyan. Beside him were the five young talents of the Zhuang family, Zhuang Daoming and Zhuang Yiwan. They couldn't see what was going on inside the Zhuang family, they could only see the old ancestor trembling all over. It was obvious that the Zhuang family had been suppressed by the Ninth Prince. "go!" Zhuang Chongyan suddenly sensed an aura of supernatural power. His old face changed slightly, and he took Zhuang Daoming and four others into the air and flew towards the sea.

Not long after, Gou Jingrong appeared in the valley, staring at Zhuang Chongyan and others who rushed to the sea with his sharp eyes. He disappeared from the spot again in a flash and chased after them. They chased them all the way to the sea surface and watched Zhuang Chongyan and six others rush into the depths of the ocean and disappear from sight. "Zhuang Chongyan, unless you keep hiding among the sea clan, if you dare to set foot in Lizhou, I will take your life." Gou Jingrong's voice spread, and he didn't care whether Zhuang Chongyan could hear it or not. After saying this, he turned and left. An hour later. All the members of the Zhuang family, except Zhuang Zhenghai, were beheaded and their bodies were displayed in the Zhuang house. Zhuang Zhenghai collapsed, vomited blood, and fainted. "Your Highness, six people have escaped from the Zhuang family." After Xie Zifeng cleaned up the bodies of the Zhuang family, he came back to report. Ning Chen nodded. The ancestor of the Zhuang family, Zhuang Chongyan, had never shown up. It was obvious that he had left Lizhou with the geniuses of the clan. "Pass on my order. Anyone who encounters Zhuang Chongyan, Zhuang Daoming, Zhuang Yiwan and others and brings their heads to me will be rewarded handsomely." Ning Chen said. Xie Zifeng nodded and immediately passed the order out. Afterwards, Ning Chen brought everyone to the bodies of the dead citizens, asked their families to claim the bodies and bury them with honor, and gave the families a pension. The reason why he sent 5,000 cavalrymen to directly kill the Zhuang family was to save most of the citizens. Otherwise, they would be controlled by the Zhuang family, and more citizens would be killed and injured. Families big and small in Donglin County were either hiding in their families or standing at the street corners watching, and they were all shocked by Ning Chen's methods. In one hour, an entire great family was destroyed. During the whole process, the Ninth Prince didn't even blink. It was difficult for them to imagine what the Ninth Prince, who was once dubbed the 'waste' prince, looked like? Three days. The news that the Zhuang family was exterminated by the Ninth Prince spread throughout Lizhou, and every family, big or small, in Lizhou felt insecure. Even the banker couldn't compete with them at all, let alone their small family. Especially the big families in the city, such as the Cao family, the Mo family, and the Geng family, all had grim expressions when they received the news. Cao Peifeng frowned and said, "It has only been three months since the Ninth Prince came to Lizhou, and two of the four major forces have been destroyed. The Gou family is still loyal to the court, and only the Fushan Sword Sect is left." "Is he being too anxious?" Although Dinghai Tower and the Zhuang family have a bad reputation in the Lizhou underworld, they are the two major forces in Lizhou after all, and both have powerful people in the supernatural realm. In less than three months, it was destroyed. (End of this chapter)
