"Next life, don't reincarnate in the Imperial Capital. Then no one will force you."
Chu Qing was kind-hearted.
He could not bear to see anyone being forced, so he could only send them off to reincarnate and gamble on their future.
After that:
The vast Four Seas Martial Arts Hall was wiped out by him in less than a minute.
The people lying in ambush outside the Martial Hall howled strangely and rushed into Four Seas Martial Arts Hall like starving wolves.
Then:
They saw corpses carpeting the ground, blood mist filling the air, and white snow dyed red.
Someone's scalp went numb, and they turned to flee.

It was too late.
Chu Qing gripped the shaft of the demi-divine weapon and began slaughtering with ruthless efficiency.
One second...
Ten seconds...
Thirty seconds...
Chu Qing cleared out the martial artists who had rushed into the Martial Hall.
Then, he charged outside the Martial Hall.
And continued—cleaning up!
Wind and snow swept through the air, blood mist spread everywhere.
That night:
Many people admiring the snow beneath the night sky discovered in terror that tonight's wind and snow were exceptionally beautiful:
Red and white snowflakes spiraled down together, making their hair stand on end.

"They came here and killed so many people. Do they not want to get by in the Imperial Capital anymore? Do they not want to get by in the Empire anymore?"
The Otherborn chanted scriptures.
One minute...

The Otherborn drifted away.
Not long after:
People from the Martial Oversight Department appeared.
The one leading them was a Heaven-Reaching Expert
