Now, these people became even more obedient. Great Qin continued to clear out houses and hung some more people up.
They also instituted a system of guilt by association: If anyone resisted, their whole family would be punished. At the same time, anyone who hid would be treated the same way. This was quite effective, and there were fewer people resisting and hiding.
Seeing this scene, the people who had just submitted to Zhao Fu could not take it and tried to persuade him to show more mercy. This included the young man with the bright smile, but Zhao Fu ignored them.
Great Qin needed to do this to suppress the Dark Demon people as quickly as possible; they would not show any mercy to those who resisted.
Finally, Zhao Fu came to the Demon Heaven Sect, the Dark Demon World's number one Sect. It was the most powerful, and because of Mo Qi's death, it had resisted the most. They had activated their Grand Sect Formation and wanted to fight until the end.
