Extermination of a Family

In the ruins!

Qin Yan pulled the Mingfeng Mountain Lord out, whose appearance was extremely miserable.

Countless bones in his body were broken, and blood kept oozing from his mouth and nose.

It's already a situation where more air is being exhaled than inhaled.

"This man is near death. Why don't you hand him over to me, my lord?"

Daoist Mi quickly spoke up, saying that this was the body of a peak Grandmaster, and that if they could refine the body...

They could very well become another powerful fighting force.

"This man is still of use to me."

Qin Yan spoke calmly, placing one hand on the other person's body. Immediately afterward, Daoist Mi's eyes widened.

Because the injuries on the Mingfeng Mountain Lord are healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The shattered bones healed in the blink of an eye.

In a very short time, the opponent's injuries had fully recovered.

If it were them, such severe injuries would mean that even if they didn't die, they would be bedridden for at least half a year, and internal injuries would take several years to heal.

Moreover, their strength is very likely to decline during this process.

But Qin Yan healed the other person just like that.

"My lord, it seems you have mastered some techniques that are beyond our comprehension!"

Daoist Mi was shocked by the methods Qin Yan possessed.

The other party was like a fog, impossible for him to fathom.

This made him even more respectful of Qin Yan.

Based on this healing ability alone, countless people would probably be willing to risk their lives for him.

Why don't you kill me?

After recovering, the Mingfeng Mountain Lord was filled with fear of Qin Yan.

The opponent's power allows them to control his life and death at will. The greatest torment in the world is not death, but the inability to live or die.

"Submit to this lord!"

Qin Yan was very direct. "Three breaths!"

"Your subordinate greets Your Excellency."

After hesitating for a moment, the Mingfeng Mountain Lord chose to surrender, thinking to himself, "With the people behind me, I can get away at any time."

For now, we'll just have to compromise.

The next second!

He immediately sensed a powerful surge of spiritual energy flowing into his body.

This force instantly formed a powerful binding force.

Let him feel the presence of death.

"This...!"

The Mingfeng Mountain Lord felt a chill run down his spine. He could sense emotions and easily control his life and death.

"To be on the safe side, I have placed Restriction on your soul, and now your life and death are in my hands."

If you harbor any rebellious intentions, I can decide your life or death with a single thought.

Qin Yan coldly warned.

He didn't believe a single word from a seasoned veteran like the Mingfeng Mountain Lord.

Only by truly controlling the life and death of others can one completely control them.

"Isn't Qin Yan a martial artist? Why would he use such methods?"

Upon hearing this Mingfeng Mountain Lord was in turmoil, overwhelmed with endless despair.

Now there's no way to run away.

"From now on, you will rebuild the Ghost Market and use it to gather intelligence for me."

I will send someone to assist you.

Qin Yan spoke calmly.

The Mingfeng Mountain Lord felt bitter; he couldn't refuse the other party's request, nor could he refuse it.

Unexpectedly, in his later years, he suffered a mishap due to a boat capsizing in a ditch.

"I should have known better than to accept the Assassination attempt on Qin Yan's subordinate."

The Mingfeng Mountain Lord felt that this was the reason he had offended the other party, and he harbored deep hatred for the Jianghu who had caused him to become a servant.

"My lord, I roughly know the identity of the person who paid 100,000 taels to buy Jin Shizhong's life."

Having been reduced to a servant himself, he would never let those behind him get away with it.

"Who!"

"The person I first came into contact with was Du Chan, a wandering knight-errant in the martial arts world."

However, I know that Du Chan and the Gongshu Family of Youshan Prefecture have quite a history.

As a powerful figure in the underworld, the Mingfeng Mountain Lord operates in the gray areas of society.

The secrets he knows far exceed what outsiders can imagine!

"Gongshu Family!"

Upon hearing the name of this Lineage, Qin Yan already had a judgment in his mind.

Gongshu Family had infringed upon the interests of the other party during the process of him taking control of Youshan Prefecture.

Gongshu Family was very dissatisfied, and it caused a great unpleasant scene.

At the time, considering that his own position was not yet secure, he did not rush to deal with the other party.

"I spared your lives back then, it seems you really have a death wish."

Qin Yan's eyes flashed with a cold light; the path he was about to take would inevitably lead him to become enemies with these powerful clans.

That was just a delaying tactic!

Now that he has gained considerable power, he naturally no longer needs to feign politeness with the other party!

Back to Qinghe Town!

Qin Yan immediately issued orders to Jin Shizhong, Han Cui, and Zong Xiaoshan.

Make the Gongshu Family disappear from this world completely within three days.

This order was relayed to all departments, especially after it was revealed that Gongshu Family 100,000 taels of silver to buy Jin Shizhong's life.

All the generals were furious.

They actually dared to send assassins to Assassination their comrades; they've gone too far!

Now, Youshan Prefecture is completely under Qin Yan's control, and the deployment of troops is exceptionally rapid.

Nearly six thousand men moved swiftly, with intelligence agencies providing assistance.

Within an hour, information about the Gongshu family and other friendly Lineage had been presented to everyone.

Tao Wang took the initiative, directly ordering his yamen runners to seal off the other party's properties in various locations.

At the same time, six thousand troops were dispersed to various locations to eliminate the Gongshu Family's influence!

Everything happened extremely suddenly.

The Gongshu Family had no time to react; almost all of their forces were attacked at the same time.

The six thousand men completely overwhelmed the servants and slaves trained by the Gongshu Family.

Zong Xiaoshan, Jin Shizhong, and Han Cui marched directly towards the Gongshu Family's residence.

A Grandmaster and two Xiantian experts effortlessly slaughtered all the experts in the Gongsun Lineage.

"Your Gongshu Family has some nerve, hiring assassins!"

Zong Xiaoshan recognized the head of the Gongshu Family, whose face turned pale and then filled with resentment.

"What's done is done; it's just a matter of winners and losers."

Tell that brat Qin Yan, I'm waiting for him down there.

Pfft!

Jin Shizhong beheaded the man with a single stroke, his expression cold. "Confiscate the property of the Gongshu Family, investigate the servants of the Gongshu Family, and grant them their freedom."

The fertile land under his name was confiscated and distributed to landless servants!

"Yes!"

The soldiers and officials around him were already very familiar with these things.

These people, influenced by Qin Yan, became his staunch followers.

It only took a day and a half.

A Lineage that had existed for over three hundred years was utterly crushed by iron hooves!

The number of indentures found was as high as two thousand, not including the children born to these servants.

After a thorough count, the number of servants reached a staggering 3,178!

These people had been slaves of the Gongshu Family for generations, and their lives and deaths were at the Gongshu family's discretion.

Now Qin Yan has completely wiped out this Lineage.

The servants looked terrified, unsure of what fate awaited them.

"All of you line up and register one by one."

We will allocate fertile land to you then.

From this day forward, you are no longer slaves, but registered citizens of the Great Li!

"What?! The government is allocating us fertile land!"

Everyone stared wide-eyed, thinking they had misheard.

"We must thank Marquis Qin for all of this! He allowed you to become respectable people and allocated the Gongshu Family's land to you."

The officials present spoke loudly.

Upon hearing this, everyone knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly in gratitude. "Thank you, Marquis Qin! Long live the Lord!"

Behind the officials stood a group of young scholars, each one energetic and with a gleam in their eyes.

"Fellow villagers, you should not have been born to be slaves to those high-ranking officials and nobles."

We are all human beings, and we are all equal.

The reason you have become slaves is because of the oppression you have suffered at the hands of those powerful and wealthy families.

This group of young scholars began to dispel the ignorance in the hearts of these illiterate people.

Awaken their sense of self.

Become a citizen of the new era!
