Although the cultivation level of the private guards under Jin Shangyue's command was not elite, they were sufficient to deal with cultivators from mid-level forces.
Zhang Fen and his accomplices were still dreaming of unifying Huanzhou, and were having a feast, eating meat and drinking wine to their hearts' content.
They discussed how to take action against another force in the city.
“That brat Lin Chenyou is really too much of a nuisance. You guys need to think of a way to get rid of him. From now on, Fengxi City will be the territory of our Night Fiend Battle Group.”
Zhang Fen's rugged face was filled with a bloodthirsty ferocity as he pulled the beautiful woman next to him into a state of wanton abuse.
A group of subordinates beside him laughed heartily, freely playing with the beauties they had captured while offering suggestions.
"Brother, the Lin family used to be the richest family in Fengxi City, rolling in money. They climbed up the social ladder after getting in touch with the Yuan family's manager here. They're now the second richest family in Fengxi City. Apart from the city lord, no one dares to mess with them."
"Now that the city lord and all his officials have withdrawn, the Lin family has lost their protection and still dares to try to seize our territory. They should be killed!"
Zhang Fen slammed the large bone in his hand into the subordinate who had spoken, and angrily cursed, "Do you think I don't know these things? Isn't this what I asked you to come up with ideas for?"
"You know what it means to give ideas? I didn't tell you to pass the buck to me! Damn it!"
Everyone quickly brainstormed ideas.
"Boss, Lin Chenyou has been studying abroad for a few years and his cultivation has improved. It's not easy to deal with him alone. But we can lure him away and deal with the Lin family."
"Most of the Lin family members are unable to cultivate. If we capture a member of the Lin family and threaten Lin Chenyou, are we afraid that the kid won't obey us?"
"Yes, yes, let's start with the Lin family. Those young women in the Lin family, I must say, are all incredibly beautiful. When we catch them, let the boss have some fun first."
"Hahaha... Yes, let's raid the Lin family first. The Lin family is a fat sheep. If we raid the Lin family, we can eat, drink and have fun for decades without having to work hard and do risky business."
Just as everyone was chatting and laughing, dreaming about the future, suddenly a series of lights and shadows appeared.
A group of people who were laughing and joking just a moment ago suddenly had a bloody hole shot through their foreheads and slammed onto the table with a thud.
"Ahhhhhh..."
"Damn it! Enemy attack! Alert! Grab your weapons!"
The scene instantly descended into chaos, with women screaming in terror and men shouting in alarm.
Zhang Fen looked around and saw a group of private guards dressed in uniform dark red combat uniforms surrounding them.
Without saying a word, they began a massacre.
The laser guns fired wildly and relentlessly, leaving a trail of blood and death in their wake.
Zhang Fen's pupils suddenly contracted, and he dodged and searched for cover while shouting in terror.
"Brothers, are you the private guard? It's all a misunderstanding! Stop fighting! We surrender!"
There's no limit to how cowardly you can be.
Faced with a well-organized yet menacing private guard, equipped with advanced and complete weaponry and possessing formidable cultivation, these self-taught individuals simply dared not engage in combat.
Moreover, Zhang Fen realized that they had been surrounded without their knowledge, and if they did not surrender, they would only face death!
The squad leader immediately made a hand gesture, and the private guards instantly stopped and pointed their energy guns at Zhang Fen and his group.
The squad leader said coldly, "Surrender and you will not be killed!"
"We surrender! We surrender!"
Before Zhang Fen, the leader, could even speak, the other surviving subordinates burst into tears, crying and shouting for their surrender.
They all obediently dropped their weapons and squatted down with their hands above their heads.
Squad leader: "Everyone, lie down on the spot, arms outstretched, don't move! Anyone who moves will be killed!"
Everyone immediately lay down, not daring to move, for fear of being mistakenly killed.
Zhang Fen lay there, feeling frustrated, his rugged face flushed with anger, cursing under his breath.
Is it certain that all the officials governing Huanzhou, as well as the private guards stationed outside the city, have left?
Why are they all back again?
That's not right either. These people's combat uniforms are clearly not from the original batch. Whose are they?
I heard that Huanzhou was lost to other powerful figures and has changed hands.
Could this group of private guards be under a new owner?
Similar suppression and crackdown operations were also occurring in other cities and regions.
Faced with a well-trained, decisive, swift, well-equipped, and formidable private guard, few of the insignificant rebels dared to fight to the death.
Either escape or surrender.
In short, they were quickly suppressed and arrested by the private guards who outnumbered them several times over.
Those few who dared to resist were killed on the spot.
After the operation was completed, the captains of each task force left a group of men behind to guard their respective cities.
The others escorted all the rebels to Fengxi's main city to assemble.
Thanks to the transport vehicles, everything was settled within half a day, and all the rebels were gathered in the central square of the main city.
All the private guards knelt on one knee, their eyes burning as they looked at Jin Shangyue standing on the high platform.
"Master, we have successfully completed our mission!"
Yan Ye approached Jin Shangyue and reported, "Master, the total number of rebels was 21,573. 912 were killed and 20,661 were brought back."
"Not bad," Jin Shangyue praised generously.
Then he looked at all the prisoners kneeling there, their hands and feet bound, forming a line.
“Rise up, you adulterers and murderers!”
The light and pleasant sound clearly reached the ears of everyone present.
Laymen watch the spectacle, experts watch the details.
Those who understand will immediately be terrified and filled with fear.
Anyone who can transmit sound over such a large area must be a master cultivator.
At least those who are at the middle or lower end of the spectrum are people we can't afford to offend!
Silence filled the air; no one stood up.
Obviously, those who have been infected know that coming forward now is definitely not a good thing.
Jin Shangyue was not surprised, and simply said, "I'll give you another chance. If you step forward on your own, you can die more comfortably."
"If I were to personally capture him, he would be executed without a complete corpse."
Everyone's hearts pounded, and they grew increasingly fearful, but no one stepped forward.
Everyone was hoping for the best.
Jin Shangyue waited for a minute, and sure enough, two or three people stood up, their legs trembling.
He begged and pleaded, tears streaming down his face.
"Please spare my life, young lady! I... I'm just a bit lecherous, and I've taken advantage of a few girls. I really haven't killed anyone..."
"Waaaah... I've never killed anyone, I just prefer sleeping with men..."
"I...I also...I accidentally killed one, but it was truly an accident, not intentional..."
Everyone: ...
Is this even possible?
Many people, their eyes darting around, also stood up, hoping to take advantage of the situation, and used the same excuse.
Then more and more people stood up, and they all said the same thing.
They were all lecherous and enjoyed playing with women, but they had never killed anyone.
