Chapter 22: Offend My Dawu Martial Artist, Will be Punished Even if Far Away_1

"I've been awarded so many Destiny Points this time!"

Upon hearing the system's prompt, Chu Yuan was also somewhat surprised. A total of one thousand and five hundred points, it should be noted that only one thousand points were awarded after finishing a mission previously. Regrettably, there were no additional treasures awarded, it seems it was purely just a Destiny Points reward.

"Realm advancement!"

Without hesitation, Chu Yuan used the Destiny Points to upgrade his realm.

"Soul Origin Quadruple Level!"

"Soul Origin Quintuple Level!"

In an instant, Chu Yuan advanced to the Soul Origin Quintuple Level.

"Hm? His Majesty's strength has increased again!"

Lu Qianfu was shocked and startled. He suddenly felt Chu Yuan's aura piercing the sky like a sharp sword, unimaginably powerful. Before, he could still suppress Chu Yuan, but now that was no longer the case.

"Notify the Governor of Wudu to bring people to confiscate property, there's plenty of evidence to wipe out Yang Xian's family."

Chu Yuan uttered coldly.

In this world, if you are not ruthless, it's your family line that will face extermination. It was even more brutal than his previous world.

"Okay, I understand."

Chu Yuan and Lu Qianfu left Yang's residence.

Before dawn, Song Ying, the Governor of Wudu hurried to the royal study and looked troubled as he received various documents. As a Governor managing the affairs of the capital, his status was comparable to the lord of a county. He was totally unaware of someone involved in treason right under his nose.

Fortunately, Chu Yuan didn't pursue his culpability, which was a relief to him.

Next up, those who needed to be expropriated were expropriated, those who had to be exterminated were exterminated, those who were guilty were executed.

Song Ying acted swiftly as a large number of valuables and war items were transferred to the national treasury.

In the Wudu market square.

Hundreds of people were brought up, all from Yang Xian's family, screaming as they were put on the executioner's block, one by one, their heads pressed onto the blood-soaked blue stone by brawny executioners.

Crack! The family of Yang Xian was exterminated.

When the news reached the General's Mansion, Shangguan Qingyun spit out a mouthful of fresh blood and nearly fainted. The covert operatives he had painstakingly nurtured for decades were wiped out overnight. Even Yang Xian, his most loyal aide, was executed.

For the first time, he felt fear, a deep terror toward this new emperor who had only ascended to the throne a few months ago.

"Hurry, hurry, go summon the Prime Minister!"

Shangguan Qingyun yelled.

But let's not talk about Shangguan Qingyun's anger. After several weeks, the ten thousand brave soldiers recruited by Chu Yuan finally arrived at the Imperial City.

Divine Martial Camp, training field.

This place was immensely huge, large enough to accommodate hundreds of thousands of soldiers for training. It was originally a base for military training, but with the arrival of the ten thousand brave warriors, it regained its vitality again.

"Standing here means you all have the qualification to join the Divine Martial Troops!"

After thirty years, Lu Qianfu stood on the training field again. Looking at the bustling crowd below, he was filled with mixed feelings.

He was very satisfied with this batch of warriors. Each of them was at least at the Tenth Level of Qi meridian, with thousands even at the Soul Refining Stage, these were elite soldiers in a battlefield.

"His Majesty arrives!"

As Eunuch Wei's sharp voice rang out!

Chu Yuan, dressed in a bloody black imperial robe, slowly walked into the drill ground. His eyes were glittering, as if they could see through all human hearts. The sword of the human emperor hung at his waist, making him seem like the most powerful emperor, seemingly swallowing all four seas.

"Long live the Emperor, live forever and ever!"

Thousands of brave soldiers knelt down in unison!

They knew that the methods of this newly enthroned second generation emperor were not simple. Yang Xian's trading company, which does business in several countries, was looted because of his single edict, causing the beheading of hundreds of Yang family members across three generations.

"Very well, seeing all of you, I am comforted."

Chu Yuan motioned for them to rise, "I suppose all of you brave soldiers know that our Dawu is currently plagued internally and externally. There is hidden turbulence within the country, and there are stormy winds brewing in foreign countries. Dawu is eyed greedily by the four countries led by Dalian. Who knows when a united army of millions from the four countries could attack Dawu. You all have demonstrated courage by dedicating yourselves to the country in these difficult times."

"Before the establishment of Dawu, within a century, more than a dozen dynasties transferred power. The longest reign was no more than ten years. Countless warlords fought fiercely, causing people to live nomadically, the scene was horrendous. But ever since the founding of Dawu, we began to lead stable and wealthy lives. We are the leaders amongst the five countries, the strongest power!"

"Yes, if the four countries led by Dalian were to annihilate Dawu, looting and slaughtering, we would end up falling under their butcher's knife. If that's the case, we might as well resist fiercely!"

"Those who offend Dawu, shall die!"

Tens of thousands of brave soldiers looked up at Chu Yuan. Each of them brimming with courage, bursting with roaring voices.

They joined the Divine Martial Camp to defend their homeland. The founding of Dawu thirty years ago brought them much peace.

"I have only one thing to say, those who offend Dawu, even if they are far away, shall be punished!"

As Chu Yuan said this, his murderous intent boiled over. His gaze suddenly fell on a muscular man among the thousands of soldiers, who had a physique like an iron tower, "With your divine ability at level five, you travelled from afar to the capital. With your strength, you could lead tens of thousands of troops in any army and even establish a foundation for yourself in these troubled times. What's your name?"

"My name is Li Dangxian, I come from Nan County!"

This burly man named Li Dangxian proudly said, "My entire family has been living in Nan County for decades. If Dalian breaks through the southern post, they will be the first to be hit. Faced with a million-strong army, I would have to lead my whole family to migrate. Thirty years ago, it was the previous emperor who, with the Divine Martial Camp, swept through the nations. So, can our current emperor possess the power of the previous emperor?"

Nan County is indeed the border county of the southern frontier, near the Dalian border. It is a harsh cold land.

The people of Dawu are martial-literate, every person cultivates martial arts. And Nan County, which borders Dalian, has even stronger martial customs, the soldiers there are fearless, exuding a frightening amount of killing intent.

"Impudence!"

Lu Qianfu, seeing Li Dangxian looking up at Chu Yuan with a prideful expression in his eyes, knew that Li Dangxian was too arrogant, treating Chu Yuan with little regard, loudly scolding him.

"Loyal and Brave Marquis, he didn't say anything wrong."

Chu Yuan raised his palm, a lightning flash between his five fingers. He then reached out his hand towards Li Dangxian's robust body.

"Here it comes!"

Li Dangxian saw Chu Yuan act and knew that he was testing his strength. But he was not afraid, his body moved, his fists clenched, he fiercely swung them forward. The intense power caused even the void to twist.

However, in that instant, Li Dangxian's fist was engulfed by Chu Yuan's palm, leaving struggling to withdraw it.

But Chu Yuan's other palm landed on his shoulder, patting it lightly a few times.

But with each pat, Li Dangxian's heart palpitated. He felt that if that palm hit his head, his brains would surely blast. So he knelt down and said, "I, Li Dangxian, submit. From now on, whatever His Majesty commands me to do, I will do. Even if I have to die, I won't furrow my brows. If I do, I won't be a native of Nan County."

"Li Dangxian, you are a front runner, and you're excellent. From now on, you will be Divine Martial Commanding General, commanding a thousand people. Once my Divine Martial army expands, you will command ten thousand people!"

With one sentence, Chu Yuan appointed Li Dangxian as Commanding General, a position with real power.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your great kindness!" Li Dangxian responded excitedly.

"The purpose of my reorganizing the Divine Martial army is not only to confront the four countries, but also to investigate the cause of the previous emperor's death, the reason for the complete annihilation of the three hundred thousand-strong army, to avenge them, and further to make Dawu the strongest empire in this world. In my Divine Martial army, there is only one purpose."

Chu Yuan's sharp eyes swept across the field, before saying slowly: "If anyone offends our Dawu, no matter how far away, they will be punished!"
