The fact that both the Song and Shangguan families had sided with Yang Cheng was a major blow to everyone present.
Yang Cheng looked at everyone present and said calmly, "I was actually a little dissatisfied with Fang Wuwo's description of me as so ruthless."
I, Yang Cheng, am not a bloodthirsty person. I understand the principle of leaving a way out for others so that we can meet again in the future.
Our Zhenwu Hall is rebuilding the martial arts lineage of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The first step is to manage you martial arts practitioners.
Although I know you're all dissatisfied and will probably secretly call me a lackey of the imperial court, I don't care.
I have only two requirements for you: one is to hand over your sect's martial arts techniques, and the other is to report the detailed number and names of your sect's members to the local Zhenwu Hall branches. …Do it and you live; fail and you die. It's that simple.
Everyone present looked furious. No sect wanted to be controlled and governed by the imperial court like this, let alone have to hand over their martial arts techniques.
Xuanyuan Valley God, coughing up blood, laughed loudly: "Yang Cheng! You're delusional!"
The martial arts world of the Great Zhou is not something you can easily control, and we are not cowards either!
Yang Cheng frowned and said, "Xuanyuan Valley God, do you really think I wouldn't dare to kill you?"
I'm not killing you, but I'm afraid that if you die, no one in your Xuanyuan family will understand the complete Heavenly Emperor's Mysterious Netherworld Treasure Record.
At this moment, Fang Wuwo, who had been silent all along, suddenly said, "Grand Commander, my Tianyi Tower is willing to hand over its cultivation techniques and register all its members."
Furthermore, Tianyi Tower is willing to merge into Zhenwu Hall, and all intelligence and information channels will be handed over to Zhenwu Hall!
Furthermore, sir, don't be intimidated by this Xuanyuan Valley God. The Xuanyuan family's direct descendants are few in number, and every single one of them knows the entire Heavenly Emperor's Xuanming Treasure Record!
Xuanyuan Valley God's eyes widened as he stared at Fang Wuwo, angrily shouting, "You..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yang Cheng unleashed a sharp, piercing light that instantly pierced through the head of the Xuanyuan Valley God.
Everyone present was immediately terrified, their faces filled with fear.
Even someone as powerful as Xuanyuan Valley God was killed by Yang Cheng without hesitation, which shows that Yang Cheng truly didn't care about their lives.
Yang Cheng had just killed Xuanyuan Valley God, but he looked at Fang Wuwo with a smile: "Well done. Don't worry, even if you join Zhenwu Hall, Tianyi Tower will still be Tianyi Tower."
From now on, the Zhenwu Hall's intelligence system will be shared with you, and all expenses will be borne by the Zhenwu Hall.
Fang Wuwo was overjoyed and quickly cupped his hands, saying, "This subordinate thanks you, sir!"
His change of heart was swift and decisive, making Song Joong-ki, who was standing to the side, feel as if he were facing a formidable enemy.
It's worth noting that Song Joong-ki had thought about it for a long time and done a lot of mental preparation before convincing himself to join Yang Cheng's side.
In truth, Fang Wuwo never had much affection for the Xuanyuan family.
Although Tianyi Tower is considered an annex of the Xuanyuan family, it was only through the Xuanyuan family's wealth that it was able to open 108 towers throughout the entire Great Zhou Jianghu.
But does that mean that all of this is just empty talk and selfless hard work?
In Fang Wuwo's view, he and the Xuanyuan family had a cooperative relationship, with one providing money and the other providing information access.
However, the Xuanyuan family actually treated Fang Wuwo and Tianyilou like servants. Not to mention Xuanyuan Valley God, even some other disciples of the Xuanyuan family were treated very badly.
Therefore, Fang Wuwo had actually been somewhat dissatisfied for a long time, but he dared not say anything due to the power of the Xuanyuan family.
Seeing Yang Cheng's imposing presence and then witnessing the tragic state of Xuanyuan Valley God, Fang Wu was now certain that the Xuanyuan family was utterly doomed.
If that's the case, why should he continue to be loyal to the Xuanyuan family?
Moreover, intelligence agencies like Tianyilou require a lot of money to operate normally.
With the Xuanyuan family gone, he naturally had to find another patron.
Aside from the Xuanyuan family, with its profound family heritage, perhaps only the imperial court could afford to support Tianyi Tower.
Fang Wuwo came from humble beginnings and had never been known for his integrity. Joining the imperial court and siding with Yang Cheng was something he felt no psychological pressure at all.
Yang Cheng then turned his gaze to the crowd present and said calmly, "Have you all made up your minds about whether you live or die?"
The leaders of these major sects present were completely convinced and abandoned any thoughts of resistance.
Gangs like the Golden Dragon Gang, which originated from humble beginnings, were the first to choose to submit, handing over their martial arts techniques in exchange for their lives, and agreeing to register as disciples of the gang in a branch of the Zhenwu Hall.
With one person leading the way, others followed suit, handing over their techniques one by one, allowing each newcomer to leave.
