Any Objections?

On the city lord's throne, carved from Blackflame Mystic Stone, a young man in white robes sat with his legs crossed, casually swinging his toes, and fiddling with a chipped, broken Broken Saber in his hand.

Beside the boy, the Half-Step Ninth Tier Profound Nether City Lord, who was usually high above and worshipped by hundreds of thousands of people, was now disheveled and covered in blood, bowing and holding a warm white jade teacup in his hands, his expression as respectful as a lowly servant serving his master.

Hiss!!

The dozens of veteran family heads and garrison generals who arrived later all gasped in shock, feeling a chill run down their spines and straight to the top of their heads.

Good morning, esteemed seniors.

Chen Fan raised his eyelids and looked at the pale-faced figures in the air with a smile. He even stood up and respectfully cupped his hands in greeting.

"It's not very kind of me to drag you all out of bed so early in the morning. But business is business, and we can't wait for anyone."

The boy had a gentle expression and a smiling face, but to the others, he was more terrifying than a demon from the Abyss.

"Chen... Chief Chen Fan,"

Zhao Qianjue swallowed hard, steeled himself, lowered himself, and clasped his hands in a salute.

"What is the purpose of the City Lord's summoning us by striking the Split Cloud Drum?"

Chen Fan casually pushed the Black Iron Tiger Tally on the table forward.

It made a crisp clanging sound.

"Simple."

Chen Fan suppressed his smile, his gaze sweeping over the dozens of Eighth-Order and Seventh Rank experts present with a sharp, piercing gaze.

"The three Eighth-Order Peak ancestors of Red Rock City were chopped to pieces and fed to the dogs by me at the Black Wind Ore Vein yesterday. Now that Red Rock Main City is leaderless, it's the perfect time to wipe them out in one fell swoop."

"With my Tiger Tally, I will muster 300,000 iron cavalry, and all cultivators above the Half-Step Eighth-Order cultivation will accompany me. At dawn today, we will leave Black Wind Gorge and sweep through Red Rock City."

The entire venue fell into a deathly silence.

After a brief silence, the crowd erupted in chaos!

"Sweep through Red Rock City?! Are you kidding me!"

An old general clad in heavy armor suddenly stepped forward, his spear slamming into the ground, sending shards of stone flying. This man was Tuo Ba Lie, the Xuanming Garrison Army, who had been stationed in the southern border for over a century, and whose temperament was as fiery as a raging fire.

"Red Rock City is one of the four major cities of the Great Wilderness! Even after the fall of the Three Ancestors, the city still has hundreds of thousands of elite troops, and its protective blood array is a legacy of ten thousand years!"

Another elderly man in a brocade robe also reprimanded in a stern voice. He was Gu Yuan, the Grand Elder of the Gu Family, the number one family in Xuanming City, with Half-Step Eighth-Order cultivation and extremely senior.

"You brat, you think you can run rampant in the Great Wilderness just because you succeeded in a sneak attack with brute force? Cross-city annihilation is strictly forbidden by the blood oath of the Great Wilderness! Do you think the neighboring Giant Spirit Main City will stand idly by? If you do, you'll bring disaster upon yourself, and hundreds of thousands of lives in the entire Xuanming City will be lost because of your arrogance!"

"Lord City Lord!"

Gu Yuan suddenly looked at the bowing Profound Nether City Lord and cried out in anguish.

"Are you out of your mind? Allowing some greenhorn to command the army like this? How can we allow our ancestral heritage to be squandered like this!"

Two senior officials took the lead in opposing, and dozens of generals and family heads behind them were immediately aroused, their voices rising like a tide, seemingly pressing down on Chen Fan.

The Profound Nether City Lord was deathly pale, cold sweat pouring down his forehead, yet he dared not utter a single word to plead for them.

Chen Fan sat upright on the large stone chair, quietly watching the excited crowd below, a faint smile even playing on his lips.

He raised his hand to rub his temples and exhaled a long breath.

"Are you done talking?"

These three simple words carry a chilling undercurrent that sends shivers down one's spine.

Gu Yuan's face darkened.

"I've eaten more salt than you've walked roads! Boy, if you want military power, first ask this Azure Rainbow Sword in my hand..."

Boom!

Before he finished speaking, an overwhelming and violent pressure suddenly erupted from Chen Fan's body!

The immense Qi and Blood of the Eighth-Order Late Stage transformed into a tangible gray-red raging wave, plunging the Firmament above the entire ruins into darkness in an instant!

The Life-and-Death Millstone Phantom manifested behind him, like a chaotic god or demon awakened from Primordial Era, casting a shadow that devours all things.

The oppressive force was extremely heavy, and the Gravity Domain instantly increased a hundredfold!

Thump! Thump!

Hundreds of armored elite soldiers around them didn't even have time to react before they were forced to the ground, bleeding from their mouths and noses.

"Old man, I'm trying to reason with you politely, why are you insisting on using your age to your advantage?"

Chen Fan's eyes were cold as he stretched out his right hand in mid-air and pressed it down lightly.

Gu Yuan and Tuo Ba Lie were shouting the loudest, suddenly narrowed their pupils, their protective True Essence surged wildly, and their magical treasures shone brightly!

However, faced with Chen Fan's terrifying gravity, which combined the Daoist Dao Rhythm of Martial God and the Life-and-Death Law, their Protective Divine Light was as fragile as paper!

Click!

The protective aura shattered inch by inch!

With a dull cracking sound, the two powerful elders didn't even have to make a single move before their knees shattered the hard black flame stone slab and sank half a foot into the ground!

"Puff!!"

Both men spat out Dao Blood, their faces turning from deathly pale to sallow. The arrogance and condescension deep in their eyes were shattered by the shadow of death at that moment!

That was a true crushing defeat, a dimensional attack from a higher Dimensions!

The ruins of the main hall were completely silent.

The dozens of powerful figures who had been echoing the clamor were now stiff as ducks with their necks being choked, not even daring to breathe loudly.

Chen Fan slowly withdrew his palm, and the terrifying pressure that was like the collapse of the sky instantly dissipated. His control over the pressure was so great that it was almost divine.

"Look at that, they had to make the scene so bloody."

Chen Fan resumed his harmless demeanor, even taking out two bottles of top-grade healing pills from his Storage Ring and casually tossing them into the pool of blood in front of Gu Yuan and Tuo Ba Lie.

"My two seniors are getting on in years; please don't be so hot-tempered. We apologize for the blunder just now."

The boy looked down at the two trembling figures on the ground, his tone as gentle as if he were having a casual conversation, but the murderous intent in his words was like a leech.

"After taking Red Rock City, the Fire Crow Tribe will only take 30% of their three spiritual veins and eight mines. The remaining 70% will be distributed among everyone present according to their contributions."

"Those who are willing to follow and get rich, go back and muster your troops now. Those who are not..."

Chen Fan pointed to the huge, collapsed pit next to him.

"The pit is big enough to fit a few old bones."

All the generals present felt a chill run down their spines.

Give someone a slap, then give them a huge sweet treat. But the slap can be deadly, and the sweet treat can drive someone crazy with envy!

"This subordinate... obeys!"

Tuo Ba Lie picked up the pills tremblingly and kowtowed heavily.

"The Gu Family... we are willing to obey your orders!"

Gu Yuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his old face filled with fear.

"Sect Leader Zhao."

Chen Fan looked at Zhao Qianjue.

"Exist!"

Zhao Qianjue's heart tightened, and he quickly clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"If the 300,000-strong army cannot set out within an hour, I will hold you accountable."

"Promise!"

Morning bells and evening drums, military orders are as firm as mountains.

The Profound Nether Main City, which had been peaceful for hundreds of years, was transformed into a rapidly operating war behemoth within an hour.

Warhorses neighed, armor clanged, and an endless aura of death enveloped the entire city.
