The cleanup of South City quickly spread throughout the entire city.

The Five Great Powers and the forces from other districts all turned their eyes toward one man.

Fang Xing!

The destruction and purging of the small and mid-sized forces had been but a ripple, yet the fall of the Red Gang, a major power, was a raging tidal wave.

Even a Transformation Force martial artist had been killed by Fang Xing.

And it had been an almost crushing victory.

That was what truly left every force shaken.

A Transformation Force martial artist already stood at the very pinnacle of Qingshan County.

Yet such a top-tier figure had died at Fang Xing's hands.

It was not only the various forces that were shocked; even the government was taken aback.

County Yamen, East Ward Office.

As Yang Bo listened to the report from the yamen runner before him, his heart pounded wildly.

Transformation Force!

Fang Xing had reached the Transformation Force!

How was that possible?!

How could he have broken through to the Transformation Force?!

Had he crossed that Dragon Gate just like that?

Even more unbelievable was that Fang Xing had not only reached the Transformation Force, but had also slain a Transformation Force martial artist.

One piece of news after another came crashing down on him, leaving Yang Bo feeling as though all strength had drained from his body.

Before this, he might still have harbored some thoughts of his own. He had gathered some Treasure Medicine and planned to attempt a breakthrough into Dark Force, but before he could even begin, Fang Xing had already become a Transformation Force martial artist.

At that moment, the little schemes in his heart completely vanished like smoke.

Even if he somehow managed to step into the Dark Force realm, compared to Fang Xing, a Transformation Force martial artist, they simply were not on the same level.

Fang Xing could even kill Transformation Force martial artists, let alone him.

After a long silence, Yang Bo waved his hand. "Leave. If my lord has any orders, notify me."

"Yes!"

The young yamen runner nodded and promptly left the ward office.

But the moment he left, a young man stepped into the office. His expression was panicked as he hurried before Yang Bo.

"Uncle, have you received the news? Fang Xing wiped out the Red Gang in South City."

"Even the Red Gang's leader died at Fang Xing's hands."

Yang Xin's face was filled with panic, terror showing in his eyes.

Seeing Yang Xin in such a fluster, Yang Bo steadied himself and said with a dark expression, "Look at how panicked you are. What a disgrace!"

Yang Xin remained utterly distraught as he looked at Yang Bo. "Uncle, I'm scared. Do you think Fang Xing might make a move against me? I... what should I do?"

Hearing that, Yang Bo could not help feeling irritated. "Look at that pathetic nerve of yours. Is Lord Fang such a small-minded person? If he wanted to make a move, he would have done so long ago. Would he have let you keep serving as a yamen runner?"

"B-but what if he does?" Yang Xin was nearly in tears, his heart still in turmoil.

"Just be more obedient from now on. Lord Fang will not care about such things," Yang Bo said.

At those words, Yang Xin nodded and looked at Yang Bo. "Uncle, do you think I should go see Lord Fang now?"

"No." Yang Bo shook his head as he looked at him. "Lord Fang is busy right now. Why would he have time to bother with you? Wait until there is a suitable opportunity."

"Th-then... all right." Yang Xin nodded, then left the ward office in a daze.

"Alas, this will probably become his inner demon."

Watching Yang Xin's dispirited back, Yang Bo let out a helpless sigh.

They had once both been Bright Force martial artists, but now they were as far apart as clouds and mud.

"The commotion was this big?"

County Yamen, inner hall. Zhang Chen looked at Lin Zheng, somewhat surprised.

Lin Zheng nodded. "Yes. His actions were swift. In South City now, aside from the Wang Family, there are likely no other forces left."

"That kid truly did not move unless he had to; once he moved, he shook the heavens," Zhang Chen said with a sigh.

Lin Zheng looked at him. "My lord, should we remind him? The commotion is too great. I fear there may be no small amount of trouble later."

"Remind him? Do you think he would still listen now?" Zhang Chen gave him a glance.

Lin Zheng was stunned. "My lord, you will not intervene?"

Zhang Chen took a sip of tea, set down his cup, and looked at him. "Isn't this quite good? He settled Qingshan's chaotic situation in one stroke. That is a great achievement."

"Besides, his relationship with the Heavenly Supervision Bureau is anything but ordinary. Shen Ye thinks very highly of him."

"Moreover, Shen Ye has already broken through the Mysterious Gate and entered the realm of Borrowing Falsehood to Cultivate Truth."

"What?!"

Lin Zheng's eyes widened at those words.

Zhang Chen remained calm. "What is so strange about that? The Heavenly Supervision Bureau has abundant resources, and Shen Ye comes from a great family. His breakthrough was only a matter of time."

"There is no need to interfere with what he does. He is also in charge of this area, so draw closer to him. That can only bring benefits. He has already broken through to Transformation Force; with his relationship to Shen Ye, he will certainly be able to enter."

Light flickered in Lin Zheng's eyes as he nodded softly.

"This fellow truly is a prodigy. He entered the Transformation Force so quickly."

"His future is limitless!"

Lin Zheng sighed.

"That is why befriending him benefits both you and me. Besides, cleaning things up is also the higher-ups' intention," Zhang Chen said lightly.

Lin Zheng nodded.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

For Qingshan County, however, those three days had been like a massive earthquake sweeping across all of Qingshan.

With the force of thunder, Fang Xing had successively wiped out nearly every large and small force.

It was an unprecedented thunderous operation.

Almost the first of its kind in Qingshan County in a hundred years.

Apart from the Five Great Powers, almost no other forces remained.

At the very least, the underworld forces could be said to have been virtually eradicated.

For the common people and merchants, it was exceptionally good news.

This thunderous operation also earned Fang Xing the title of Iron-Blooded Yama.

Once he set his sights on someone, they were absolutely finished.

As news of the citywide purge spread, nearly every force within Qingshan County became extraordinarily well-behaved.

The powerful clans in the towns and villages all kept much lower profiles.

Without anyone realizing it, an unprecedented deterrence had taken shape.

They feared being targeted by this Iron-Blooded Yama.

County Yamen, Central Ward Office.

Fang Xing sat in a Grandmaster Chair, looking at the panel before him.

Name: Fang Xing

Cultivation: Late-stage Transformation Force

Enhancement Level: Two Stars (34%)

Enhancement Points: 3,936 points.

"Nearly four thousand points... Not bad. After this round of purging, I can't make any moves for the time being."

Looking at the panel, Fang Xing sighed inwardly.

But with nearly four thousand Enhancement Points, reaching the peak of Transformation Force would at least not be a problem.

As for what came after...

The images of the Five Great Powers flashed through Fang Xing's mind.

"The Ning Family, the Wang Family, the Sun Family..."

"All three families have connections above them. I can't touch them."

"That leaves two..."

Fang Xing sank into thought.

If he made a move against the two major gangs, the pressure would still be immense.

At the very least, his current strength was still somewhat lacking.

He might be able to suppress them, but what he wanted was absolute certainty.

Either do not act at all, or if he acted, he would clean it up completely!

The two major gangs had both entered the peak of Transformation Force long ago.

Their strength was formidable.

Moreover, he still did not know whether there were people behind these two gangs.

If he wanted to deal with them, he had to consider it carefully. If hidden forces stood behind them, it would inevitably become a huge problem.

"Forget it. I won't think about it for now. I'll cultivate first during this period."

Letting out a breath, Fang Xing suppressed the thoughts in his heart, then took out a booklet.

Red Fire Fist!

This was a superior martial art he had obtained after dealing with Lin Yan.
