CHAPTER 706: CHAPTER 706 THE FALL OF VARIOUS MAJOR FAMILIES

The Wu Family, Ryi Family, and Xiong Family are all second-tier families. At this moment, the high-ranking members of the three families are walking together down a winding path, talking and laughing.

"Patriarch Wu! Did you enjoy yourself today?" the Patriarch of the Xiong Family asked with a smile, looking at the Patriarch of the Wu Family.

"It was alright. I never expected to witness such a scene today, it was truly worthwhile," answered the Patriarch of the Wu Family, nodding and smiling.

"Indeed! Coming today was the right choice, this battle will surely go down in history, won’t it?" replied the Patriarch of the Ryi Family with a smile.

"You all seem quite happy? Is there something joyful you’d like to share?" At this moment, an abrupt voice interrupted their conversation.

"Who goes there? Get out of here immediately!" Upon hearing the voice, several of them became furious and shouted towards the direction of the sound.

"Heh! Such bold words," the voice replied mockingly. At the same time, a young man with a teasing expression walked out.

"Do you have a death wish?" the group inquired with displeasure upon seeing the unfamiliar young man before them.

"Is that so? Why don’t you try?" The young man provocatively raised his eyebrows, gesturing towards them.

"You’re courting death!" In an instant, the Patriarch of the Xiong Family charged forward in anger.

But before he could get close, he was sent flying back with a single punch from the opponent.

Unable to even touch a corner of the opponent’s clothes, the Patriarch of the Xiong Family was knocked out directly.

"Hiss~ Why is this person so strong?" Witnessing this scene, the remaining people were all dumbfounded.

Originally, they thought this person had come seeking death, but they never expected him to be so strong, far beyond their capabilities.

"It’s your turn now." Seeing their terrified expressions, the young man displayed a cruel smile and lunged towards them.

"Ah!"

"Ahh!"

With a series of screams, the high-ranking members of the Xiong Family, Ryi Family, and Wu Family all fell to the ground, their fates unknown.

"Take them away!" Once the matter was settled, the young man waved a hand, signaling to those behind him.

"Yes!" With a response, a group of people emerged, carrying the high-ranking members of the three families, disappearing with the young man in an instant.

....

Meanwhile, the high-ranking members of the Zhuang Family were walking through a quiet forest.

After today’s events, the Zhuang Family members were visibly in a good mood, chatting and laughing.

They were discussing everything that happened at today’s grand feast hosted by the Ye Family, deeply engrossed in their conversation.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Right at that moment, sounds of objects slicing through the air could be heard.

Amidst the sounds, dark, shadowy projectiles appeared in their line of sight.

"Be careful, it’s an ambush!" Upon seeing the projectiles, Patriarch Zhuang shouted, quickly activating his True Qi to repel them.

Clang clang!

Clang clang clang!

Led by Patriarch Zhuang, the Zhuang Family members swiftly used True Qi to deflect all the projectiles.

"Who are you? Show yourselves!" After shaking off the projectiles, Patriarch Zhuang angrily yelled towards the inside of the forest.

"Haha! Just joking around, why such a temper?" Following Patriarch Zhuang’s angry shout, a strange laugh echoed from the forest, and an old man emerged with his followers, smiling amicably.

"Zhang Family members? What do you want?" asked Patriarch Zhuang angrily, recognizing the newcomers.

"Nothing much, just wanted to invite you to visit the Zhang Family. Would Patriarch Zhuang do us that honor?" The newcomer smiled, inviting with a grin.

"I will not go. Out of the way, good dogs don’t block the road," Patriarch Zhuang refused bluntly without a second thought.

"So, there’s no room for negotiation?" Seeing Patriarch Zhuang’s refusal, the newcomer spread his hands, confirming.

"Then I’m afraid we must offend you. Attack and detain them," seeing the Zhuang Family won’t change their mind, the newcomers moved to detain them.

"Prepare to fight!" The high-ranking members of the Zhuang Family were not weak.

Patriarch Zhuang possessed the combat power of a high-level Martial God, while the other two were at the pinnacle of Intermediate Martial Gods.

Initially, the Zhuang Family members thought they could easily defeat the opponents.

However, upon engaging, they found themselves completely overpowered.

The opponents were much stronger, capable of crushing them directly.

"Succumb!" Following the leader’s angry command, the opponents launched an assault, knocking down and capturing the Zhuang Family members.

....

The Hao Family, Yan Family, and He Family all encountered the same fate as the Zhuang Family.

On their way home, they were ambushed and captured.

Until now, the four major first-tier families were all stealthily captured en route by the Zhang Family.

Moreover, not just the four families, every family that attended the grand banquet of the Ye Family faced the same fate.

With the combined efforts of the Zhang Family and the Celestial Punishment Association, the leadership of these families was captured completely.

....

At this time, in a remote and quiet manor, the atmosphere was lively, with a continuous stream of people arriving.

Everyone arriving here shared a common trait; they were all escorting captured individuals.

This place was the secret base established jointly by the Zhang Family and the Celestial Punishment Association, where the high-ranking members of various families were imprisoned.

All these captured leaders were thrown into a secret chamber prepared by the Zhang Family.

The chamber was extremely dark, filthy, and chaotic, resembling a dungeon.

At this moment, the high-ranking members of the families were thrown to the ground like dead dogs, in utter disarray.

"This... seems to be the last batch." At this moment, an elder from the Zhang Family, after verifying the data, reported to Patriarch Zhang truthfully.

"Good! Wake them up. It’s time to start using them," Patriarch Zhang nodded.

"Wake up! Get up quickly."

"Sleep! Screw your sleep! Get up and hype."

"Damn it, sleeping like this, did I say you could sleep?"

....

Following Patriarch Zhang’s gesture, the Zhang Family members rudely roused the high-ranking members of each major sect.

"Where is this place? What’s going on?"

"Damn it! How did we end up here? What’s going on?"

"Let me go back, what do you want?"

Upon waking up, the high-ranking family members panicked upon seeing the filthy surroundings, shouting frantically.

"Return? Where do you plan to go?" At this moment, Patriarch Zhang sneered, appearing in front of everyone.

Simultaneously, the lights in the chamber were lit, illuminating Patriarch Zhang’s smiling face.

"It’s you? Is the Zhang Family planning to oppose all the families?"

"Release us immediately! Don’t think just because you’re the Zhang Family that you can do whatever you please."

Seeing Patriarch Zhang, their faces changed drastically, issuing threats in unison.

Meanwhile, fear overwhelmed their hearts.

They were well aware that being caught by the Zhang Family meant no safe return. Even if they managed to survive, the Zhang Family’s stance suggested they would be worse for wear, instilling immense fear in the family leaders....
