Execute the Xiao Family's patriarch.
The Emperor Extreme Great Saint's power oppressed the entire Xiao Mountain City.
Even Gu Sheng'an's pupils constricted sharply at this sight.
He knew that the Emperor Extreme Great Saint's strength was terrifying, an ancient strongman who had already reached the pinnacle of the Nine Layers Heaven of Great Saints.
But no matter how he thought, Gu Sheng'an could never imagine that the Emperor Extreme Great Saint could kill the Xiao Family's patriarch in a single encounter.
Gu Sheng'an quickly responded, seizing the opportunity and gave an order:
"The Xiao Family patriarch is dead, convey my command, slaughter the entire Xiao Mountain City, leave no one alive from the Xiao Family!"
Decided the fate of all Xiao Family members.
Xiao Xuan showed a look of despair, wanting to plead for mercy, but it was already too late.
The Divine Martial Imperial Guard launched a massacre rampantly, while Xiao Xuan was pierced through by the Heaven-breaking Crossbow, nailed dead in the Xiao Mountain City.
Only then did endless regret rise in Xiao Xuan's heart.
If he had known earlier about the terror and ruthlessness of the Divine Martial Dynasty, he would never have chosen to confront the Divine Martial Dynasty.
Such actions have brought a catastrophe to the Xiao Family.
There's no 'if' in anything.
Now the Xiao Family patriarch has fallen, his own life has come to an end, and the entire Xiao Family ceases to exist as well.
With Xiao Xuan's fall.
Many Xiao Family members found it even harder to withstand the power of the Divine Martial Imperial Guard.
In less than a two-hour period.
The entire Xiao Mountain City has turned into a hell.
A military officer stepped forward, his armor stained with a lot of blood, exuding a chilling aura.
"Reporting to the Military Commander, all 136,521 members of the Xiao Family have been executed, with no survivors!"
Gu Sheng'an nodded, then looked at the devastated Xiao Mountain City, his eyes cold and chilling.
"Today, I will use the blood of the Xiao Family to tell the world that whoever dares to obstruct the Divine Martial Dynasty's stride, the Xiao Family's fate will be theirs!"
"Pass down the order, take all the resources of the Xiao Family that can be taken away, leave the rest alone!"
Gu Sheng'an intends to use the Xiao Family's fate to warn other forces.
If they want to oppose the Divine Martial Dynasty, they'd better think of the Xiao Family's fate.
Gu Sheng'an believes.
With the downfall of the Xiao Family.
The Divine Martial Dynasty will find its actions easier from now on.
Gu Sheng'an led the Divine Martial Imperial Guard away.
And less than a two-hour period after the army's departure, other cultivators entered Xiao Mountain City.
Seeing the tragic situation in Xiao Mountain City and Xiao Xuan's corpse dying with a grievance, these cultivators' faces changed drastically, a look of fear rising in their eyes.
"Dead! The entire Xiao Family is dead!!"
"Such ruthless means, isn't the Divine Martial Dynasty afraid of the heavens' wrath acting ?"
All cultivators were secretly terrified.
The Xiao Family was exterminated.
Every one of over a hundred thousand clansmen perished.
The ruthless methods of the Divine Martial Dynasty once again refreshed their understanding.
Especially some forces from the Anti-God Alliance, who rushed to Xiao Mountain City with their cultivators as soon as they received news from the Xiao Family.
But by the time they arrived, the entire Xiao Family had been exterminated, and Xiao Mountain City had been turned into a dead city.
These forces felt extremely fortunate.
Fortunately, they arrived a bit late; otherwise, they would have shared the Xiao Family's fate.
After witnessing the Xiao Family's tragic state, some forces quietly withdrew from the so-called Anti-God Alliance and no longer dared to oppose the Divine Martial Dynasty.
They thought they could use righteousness to coerce the Divine Martial Dynasty into submission, but the latter didn't tolerate such a thing at all.
Even the ancient noble Xiao Family was leveled by three million Divine Martial Imperial Guards, let alone their forces, which were inferior to the ancient Xiao Family.
Even if given ten times the courage, these forces did not have the nerve to oppose the Divine Martial Dynasty.
News of the ancient Xiao Family's destruction spread throughout the entire Eastern Domain.
Regarding this news, some forces felt fear, others were secretly furious, and some openly denounced the Divine Martial Dynasty, claiming it was disrupting the internal stability of the Human Clan.
But no matter what, there was never a single force that truly declared war on the Divine Martial Dynasty because of this incident.
The reason is singular.
With Gu Qingfeng present, these forces dared not act rashly.
Even if all the cultivators of the Divine Martial Dynasty perished, as long as that Gu Family Master lived, no one dared to touch the Divine Martial Dynasty in the slightest.
This is the deterrent power of a supreme mighty figure.
One man as a match for a nation.
The course of events also unfolded as Gu Sheng'an envisioned; with the Divine Martial Imperial Guard's absolute force annihilating the Xiao Family, subsequent actions of the Divine Martial Army met with no resistance in the two states.
Almost all noble families and sects surrendered without resistance, not daring to stand in the way, fearing that they might follow the Xiao Family's footsteps.
Regarding this outcome.
Gu Sheng'an was immensely satisfied.
"You all see, these noble families and sects are ; when the Divine Martial Dynasty stands strong, they lay low, but if they perceive an inkling of our fatigue, they will swarm like hyenas sensing blood.
In dealing with these forces, we must not retreat one step nor show any signs of weakness.
Only by sweeping and suppressing everything with thunderous means can we truly extinguish those thoughts they shouldn't have!"
Gu Sheng'an stood like a fierce tiger, his eyes filled with domineering intent, while the Emperor Extreme Great Saint, hearing this, couldn't help but look at this Divine Martial Imperial Guard Military Commander with silent admiration.
