The Imperial Guards, like Yama, slaughtered until the Empress cried out for help.

Shen Qing's true energy trembled slightly as he wiped away the blood from Chi Xiao's body.

Shen Qing had thought that the Grandmaster would allow him to use his full strength, but he did not expect that Yuan Zhenshan's most fierce attack was to exchange injury for injury and strike Shen Qing with a stick.

It didn't even break Shen Qing's Vajra Glass Body.

Shen Qing sheathed his sword and strode toward the other trembling members of the Yuan family, who then frantically kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Meanwhile, at the edge of the battlefield, Xu Dashan, who had barely recovered his true energy, finally arrived at the battlefield.

Xu Dashan was dumbfounded as soon as he arrived at the battlefield.

At this moment, Shen Qing was incredibly powerful, his whole body radiating a crystal-white light. Coupled with his handsome face and calm, autumn-water-like eyes, he resembled a god wandering the world.

What's even more alarming is that Shen Qing is constantly kowtowing to the Yuan family members in front of him.

Xu Dashan rubbed his eyes and swallowed twice.

"Could Lord Shen really be a deity descended to earth?"

A beautiful woman knelt down in front of Shen Qing, tears streaming down her face.

"Lord Shen! Please, please spare us!"

"The person who attacked you is dead, and we weren't the ones who colluded with the Japanese pirates."

"The rest of the Yuan family are innocent, Lord Shen! Lord Shen! Just spare my life, and I'll do whatever you want with me."

As she spoke, she reached out and tugged at her clothes on her shoulder, revealing a glimpse of snow-white skin.

Xu Dashan immediately snapped out of his daze and ran while shouting.

"Lord Shen! Don't believe her, there are no good people in the Yuan family."

As a veteran centurion of Beiyun City, Xu Dashan was well aware of the Yuan family's dirty secrets.

In the past, they were suffocated by the Yuan family, but today they finally have a powerful backer who can keep the Yuan family in check.

If we don't say those things we dared not say in the past, when will we ever say them?

"Lord Shen! This woman is no good."

"Her name is Yuan Yin. Five years ago, she killed five babies in Beiyang Village. When she was found out, the Yuan family just found someone to take the blame. As a result, several years have passed and she is still at large."

Shen Qing watched as the woman's face grew increasingly pale: "Crocodile tears, how ugly."

Shen Qing casually pointed at her and shattered her into pieces.

Xu Dashan then pointed to another man: "This one is even worse. Although he has never killed anyone with his own hands, he runs a loan shark business, and the number of families ruined and destroyed by him is countless."

Usury, also known as loan sharking.

In that feudal era, owing a high-interest loan was truly a catastrophe.

These people will only take advantage of you and leave you with nothing.

Shen Qing didn't bother to say anything more, and simply pointed a finger at him, turning him into a bloody mist.

Seeing that Xu Dashan was about to continue speaking, Shen Qing pushed him aside with a single palm strike.

"Shut up."

"You'll tell me one story for every one I kill? There are so many people, it'll be dawn by the time you finish."

After saying that, Shen Qing raised his palm and swung it out. His domineering true energy sliced ​​through the air like a sharp blade, sending blood and flesh flying everywhere.

Xu Dashan was stunned for a moment, then swallowed hard. That's right, Shen Qing was known for his high efficiency. If he kept talking like that, it would take forever to kill all these Yuan family members.

Shen Qing lifted her foot and walked towards the outside of the Yuan residence.

"Xu Dashan, I'm leaving the arrangements for the aftermath to you."

"At daybreak tomorrow, you will drag Yuan Zhenshan's corpse around the entire city, paying special attention to those prominent families, officials, and martial arts sects."

"Let them understand."

"The situation in Beiyun City has changed."

......

In one night, the Imperial Guards launched a swift and decisive attack on Beiyun City.

In addition to the 209 Japanese pirates recorded in the booklet, a number of other Japanese pirates were also discovered.

The battle, which should have ended at dawn, dragged on until almost noon.

At noon, in the Zhenfu Division's public hall.

All the centurions sitting here rarely showed a smile.

One of the centurions laughed heartily, "That's awesome! I haven't felt this good in ages! We captured over two hundred Japanese pirates in one go!"

"Absolutely! It's a real slap in the face. I just went to the jail and told those two spies, Liu Wei, about it. You didn't see their faces filled with rage."

"Do you think our new Lord Shen might actually be a deity?"

"A twenty-year-old garrison commander, who single-handedly killed a grandmaster—this can't be explained by anything other than a deity, can it?"

"Have you forgotten our Lord Shen's nickname? The World-Saving Yama! He's Yama no matter what."

"Who cares? I'm truly convinced now. If Lord Shen is a god, then we'll be his soldiers. If he's Yama, then we'll be his underlings."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Just then, Shen Qing walked into the courtroom, and all the officers immediately stood up.

"Greetings, Lord Shen!"

"Everyone's quite happy after capturing the Japanese pirates." Shen Qing smiled, sat down in the main seat, and waved his hand: "Please sit down."

"Why are you all so happy? How's the capture of the Japanese pirates going?"

A centurion hurriedly handed over the booklet in his hand: "Sir, everything is sorted out, please take a look."

"All 209 Japanese pirates recorded in the booklet were captured without exception. As an unexpected bonus, other Japanese pirates were also discovered and captured as well, making a total of 267. They are all in prison."

Shen Qing glanced at it a few times and raised an eyebrow.

This time, the Japanese pirates were truly dealt a heavy blow. Most of these pirates knew the Daewoo language, and to be honest, that was a cost. It wasn't easy for the Japanese to train someone who could speak Daewoo.

It will be difficult to train another two hundred, at least in the short term. Beiyun City needs to settle down.

Shen Qing handed the booklet to the scholar: "Scholar, record their merits one by one according to the booklet."

Upon hearing this, all the centurions exchanged glances.

"Lord Shen, do we still have any merits?"

Ultimately, this was caused by their dereliction of duty. Even if the Japanese pirates are captured now, it will only be a temporary measure to make up for it.

They no longer dared to dream of meritorious service.

Shen Qing waved his hand: "I don't want to say more, and I don't want to talk about the past. Now that we've caught them, it's time to turn the page."

"I have my own rules too."

"If you do the work for me, Shen Qing, I'll award you merits."

"Work hard in the future, and you'll be rewarded for your contributions."

The officers immediately stood up: "Thank you, Lord Shen!"

We've given them enough of the stick. If we keep hitting them with the stick, they'll be knocked unconscious. We need to give them some sweet treats.

Shen Qing waved his hand: "Alright, this isn't over yet."

"With over two hundred Japanese pirates, there must be a big fish among them."

"Get the interrogation going quickly, especially those at the Innate Realm. Give them special attention! I want them to tell me exactly what they ate during last year's Lunar New Year."

The centurions immediately patted their chests and declared, "Lord Shen! We may have been negligent in the past, but when it comes to interrogating prisoners, we're absolutely in the right!"

"I guarantee I'll make them spill their underwear in three days."
