Zheng Yuanwu's eyes turned cold as he slowly said.
Hearing this, the cultivators of the Zheng Clan, who were originally unhappy, all fell silent. They did not dare to say another word.
Even Zheng Yuanwu was going to personally take action. It seemed that they were serious.
At this critical moment, if anyone dared to oppose him, they would definitely end up in a miserable state.
"Yes."
"Yes."
At the same time, similar scenes were continuously playing out in Jingbian City.
On the mountain peaks on both sides of Jingbian City, Chen Xiao stood on the cloud and looked down at the people below. He was filled with emotion.
"Heh, I never thought that in just a few days, the vast Jingbian City would change into this state. The Third Prince does have some methods."
He said indifferently.
"From ancient times, the higher-ups value rewards and punishments clearly. Although our Third Prince doesn't have much talent in cultivation, he has done well in this path. He has taught Zheng Yuanwu and Leng Qiu to be subservient."
In his sea of consciousness, Xilo replied. He was talking nonstop.
When Chen Xiao heard this, he nodded, "That's for sure. If he didn't have any tricks up his sleeves, he wouldn't have been able to reach this step today."
"Heh, in my opinion, you have underestimated the Third Prince's ruthless methods."
Xilo said again.
"Oh? Why do you say that?"
"You also know that in recent days, many cultivators have escaped from Jingbian City, right?"
"Right, what's the problem with that?" Chen Xiao asked doubtfully.
He naturally knew about this. After the incident with Fan Ren, he had killed all of his family members, leaving no one alive. He had even implicated a large number of power families in the city, causing panic among the people. It was reasonable for someone to take the opportunity to escape.
In fact, Chen Xiao had also thought about it carefully. Among the cultivators who had escaped, many of them were probably related to the smuggling case. If they escaped from Jingbian City, there would be trouble in the future.
However, when the time came, he would do something extraordinary. It was reasonable to do so.
"Heh, you don't know?"
"Hmm?"
"On the surface, it seems that many people took the opportunity to escape from Jingbian City. Among them, there are many innocent people, and there are also many cultivators who are not clear about their relationship with Fan Ren. They secretly escaped. Guess what the Third Prince did?"
Xilo said calmly.
Hearing this, Chen Xiao frowned, as if he had guessed something. "Could it be?"
"Looks like you have guessed it. Right, we intercepted them halfway. Anyone who tries to escape will be killed without question. All the cultivators who tried to escape from Jingbian City didn't die in the city, but instead died on the way out of the city. It is truly a great tragedy."
Xilo said indifferently, without the slightest bit of sympathy.
"Hiss ~"
When Chen Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but take in a cold breath of air.
Yes, if these people were to stay in Jingbian City, the Third Prince would still have some rules and sensibilities. If there was no sufficient evidence, he would not have ruthlessly killed them.
However, once they left the city, these rules would no longer be applicable. Killing them was just killing them.
One could imagine that there were many innocent people who had been wrongly killed, but they were mixed in and killed. It was both sad and lamentable.
After thinking about this, Chen Xiao let out a long sigh and said, "Is this power?"
"Yes, it's just that you are focused on cultivating and don't care about these things." Xilo said.
Chen Xiao's gaze was incomparably complicated. He had a new view of the Third Prince and sighed.
"In order to achieve his goal, he really does not care about any means. I don't know if it's right or wrong."
"Heh, what right or wrong? You are thinking too much."
Xilo said in disdain.
"Is that so?"
For a moment, Chen Xiao was a little confused. The cultivators he saw were all mobilized by the cultivators in Jingbian City to boost their morale and prepare for the full-scale war with the Black Sky God Cult.
It could be imagined that after this battle, more than half of these people would die forever and never come back.
The war was very cruel. It was the same for the people of the Black Sky Divine Sect and the people of Jingbian City.
And the Third Prince who controlled all of this was high and mighty, unreachable.
Sometimes, he wondered why people were so competitive and insisted on fighting to the death.
"This is probably the cruelty of the Great Dao. Only the strong can fight for it. Even a Tribulation Transcender is not exempt from it. If you don't fight for it, you will only die. Fighting for it might give you a chance."
Chen Xiao thought to himself, and he had an epiphany.
At this moment, he finally understood something. These people were fighting to the death. What were they fighting for? It was a path. To fight for a way out, they had to fight for it. If they didn't fight for it, there was no way out.
This was the same for ordinary cultivators and the Third Prince. He had to do something when he was in a high position.
At this time, the Third Prince rushed out of the city hall and came in front of him. He cupped his hands and said, "Sir Chen Xiao, I will need you to personally guard the Dragon Sealing Killing Formation in case of emergencies."
Chen Xiao glanced at him and nodded, "Alright."
He looked at the Third Prince in his military uniform with some surprise and asked curiously, "Third Prince, are you going to fight in person as well?"
The Third Prince smiled and said, "As the commander, if I don't take charge of the battle, the morale of the army will be unstable. These people clearly know that they are going to die, but they still have the courage to fight. This is nothing. With so many people protecting me, it should be fine."
Should? Although that was the case, the risk was not small. Originally, he did not need to do so.
He did not need to do so, but the Third Prince still did it. This undoubtedly made Chen Xiao think highly of him.
"Do you really want to do it?" Chen Xiao asked again.
"Yes." The Third Prince's expression was firm as he made his decision.
"Heh, you sure have guts. You are quite bold. I wonder if the people of the Black Sky Divine Sect will come to kill you after seeing you."
Chen Xiao teased.
Although he was a little worried, with Ying San and the Shadow Guard around, it should not be a problem for him to protect the Third Prince.
Unless the Black Sky Divine Sect really did not care about the cost and sent out an immortal-level expert to deal with the Third Prince.
If that really happened, he would have to make a move. It was impossible for him to just sit by and do nothing.
When the Third Prince heard this, he was obviously a little nervous. He said with a bitter smile, "I hope it won't happen. If the other party really has an immortal-level expert, I will have to rely on you, Chen Xiao."
Chen Xiao nodded and replied, "Don't worry, I will."
The Third Prince's expression relaxed a little. He said, "That's enough from you. Let's go."
"Yes."
Ying San, who was standing not far away, replied.
Immediately, the Third Prince took the lead and rushed out.
