Chapter 170.1

Chapter 170.1

Back in his tent, Lin Beifan pondered for a while, and many decrees were issued from him.

Eliminate all members of the Great Xue royal family; spare no one with royal blood!

Annihilate all noble family descendants within the region and confiscate all their property!

Suppress the local powerful officials; if they participate in rebellion, execute them as well, and confiscate all their property!Follow current novels at novelhall.com)

Any sects within the region that participate in rebellion or oppose Great Xia will be exterminated immediately, with no mercy! Those who have not participated shall be expelled from the country! If there are any dissenters, kill them!

And for all those who do not comply, regardless of their status, kill them all!!!

These five bloody decrees were sent to the front lines, turning the whole of Great Xue into a land of blood and terror.

The Emperor of Great Xue had not long ascended the throne, and his progeny were few. After the Great Xia troops attacked, they had already been wiped out completely.

The noble family descendants within the region had also been almost entirely killed by Bai Zhu.

Only the local powerful officials put up a fierce resistance, but under the pressure of the overwhelming army, they could not stir up any trouble.

After this round of actions, tens of thousands of heads had fallen.

From top to bottom, a thorough purge had been carried out.

Now, only the sects within the region remained.

These sect forces were not few, roughly about a dozen or so. Regardless of whether they had the intention to rebel, they were an unstable force in Lin Beifans eyes and had to be eliminated.

The smaller sects could do nothing but submit to Lin Beifans army; they could either flee or surrender.

But some of the larger sects were unwilling to be captured without a fight.

At this moment, Chai Yuxin was leading an army of 100,000 to encircle Jinshan Temple.

Monks of Jinshan Temple, listen to this general! You are now surrounded by the Great Xia army. You have three days to either renounce your vows and descend the mountain or leave Great Xia territory! Otherwise, do not blame us for being heartless!

The abbot of Jinshan Temple led hundreds of monks out to confront Chai Yuxin at the entrance.

Amitabha! We monks live a life of vegetarianism and prayer, not concerning ourselves with worldly matters, and have never been involved in any rebellion! Why is Great Xia so aggressive, forcing us to leave? the abbot asked, suppressing his anger.

Chai Yuxin sneered, It is precisely because you have not meddled in affairs that we are giving you a chance! Otherwise, you would already be corpses, reuniting with the Buddha in the Western Paradise!

A defiant monk said, What if we dont leave?

If you dont leave, this will be your fate! Chai Yuxin, holding a blazing spear, thrust it forward.

With that thrust, he shattered the three-zhang-tall Buddha statue in the square.

The monks were shocked and panicked, Such blasphemy against the Buddha, such sin!

The abbot angrily said, Behind us is the Buddhist Sect. Have you considered the consequences of offending our Buddhist Sect?

The Buddhist Sect may be big, but its not bigger than our Emperor!

Chai Yuxin shouted loudly, The Emperor has decreed that any sect within Great Xia must either be driven out or exterminated. Choose one!

Charge! 100,000 soldiers raised their weapons, threatening Jinshan Temple.

The monks felt a chill in their hearts and then looked towards the abbot standing in the middle.

Master, what do we do now?

Should we leave or should we stay?

The Taoist temple master was very puzzled: Taoist child, why?

You must know, the Taoist child represents the Taoist Sect!

As one of the few transcendent powers of the world, would they fear a new dynasty?

Song Yufei understood the other partys thoughts very well but could only respond with a bitter smile in her heart.

She simply didnt want the two sides to start fighting.

Based on her understanding of Lin Beifan, he was a man of his word and very resolute in his attitude. If he didnt allow any martial sect to have influence within his domestic affairs, then there would be none.

Look, now the army has even been dispatched, ready to start killing at the slightest disagreement.

Therefore, she could only intervene before things got worse to reduce friction between the two sides and ease their conflicts.

This matter is of great importance, listen to me!

After Song Yufeis earnest persuasion, the Taoist temple master finally, though reluctantly, led his people to relocate.

Many other temples and Taoist temples were also driven away.

When word of this spread, the whole world was shocked.

What on earth does that foolish emperor think hes doing?

Its one thing to drive away the common martial sects, but the monks and Taoist priests? They havent offended or provoked you, so why you drive them away too?

Behind them stand the Buddhist Sect and the Taoist Sect, arent that guy just asking for trouble by opposing them?

Not only has he offended the various great noble families, but now hes even offended the Buddhist Sect and the Taoist Sect. He doesnt know the meaning of death!

The foolish emperor is habitually muddled again, alas!

The Buddhist Sect and the Taoist Sect sent severe protests, hoping Lin Beifan would give an explanation.

But Lin Beifan simply ignored them.

Have you ever seen a Great Grandmaster explain himself to a bunch of ants?

Youre lucky not to be crushed!

This is my territory!

I call the shots on my territory!

Dont agree with it?

Either endure or be cruel, the choice is yours!

In the end, since the losses on both sides were not significant, the matter was left unresolved.

However, Lin Beifan had now made enemies with the Buddhist Sect and the Taoist Sect.
