Chapter 826 505 Chaos 2

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

```

Since she couldn't meddle in the dynasty's power, she decided to manage her own territory and enjoy a comfortable life herself!

As for what the people below her did behind her back, she didn't really care, turning a blind eye to it.

As long as what she needed wasn't embezzled, there was no problem; once it was, she'd raise the butcher's knife, get rid of a bunch of people, and make an example of them.

It could be said that a delicate balance had formed between the two sides.

Unfortunately, the Wild Boar Skin Dynasty was now in chaos, rebels were as numerous as cattle, and war was everywhere. Plus, the vast majority of Grand Lords had declared independence.

In short, the Wild Boar Skin Dynasty had already collapsed. Only Kang Mazi and Yongzheng still had a force in their hands and temporarily controlled the Divine Demonic Tower.

However, news of the Four Ancient Empires had long spread among the Blue Star Human Race.

Members of the royal family of the Four Ancient Empires had already arrived on the first layer of the Sea of Realms. One didn't need a brain to guess that their purpose was to annihilate the Wild Boar Skin Dynasty.

How could a rotten, disintegrating dynasty stand against the Four Ancient Empires?

Death was just a matter of sooner or later. So, although the Divine Demonic Tower, this ascending channel, was temporarily controlled by Kang Mazi and Yongzheng, they dared not use it at all.

Climbing the Divine Demonic Tower and walking the path to becoming a deity, entering the first layer of the Sea of Realms, and passing the test would lead to the second layer of the Sea of Realms.

They were all Blue Star Humans, and once they entered the second layer of the Sea of Realms, they would naturally show up within the territories of the two Ancient Empires of Tang Ming.

Considering what the Wild Boar Skin Dynasty had done, if Kang Mazi and Yongzheng dared to enter the territory of these two Ancient Empires, a fate more cruel than death might await them.

That's why, despite the dynasty's corruption and decay, they never thought of ascending to the Upper Realm. Instead, they tried their best to maintain it and even conducted some internal rectifications.

Secretly, they killed many Noble Clans members who broke through to the Sixth Tier Legendary level.

Unfortunately, the old witch didn't cooperate and blocked the method of using the Secret Technique to create Fifth Tier Epics.

Otherwise, with their means, those Grand Lords who broke free from control and those lords who pretended to follow but actually opposed would have long been eradicated, replaced by their own people.

As for the conditions proposed by the old witch, wanting to become the ruler of the Wild Boar Skin Dynasty, how could Kang Mazi and Yongzheng agree?

How could emperors of such stature allow a demoness, who had brought chaos to their Blue Star Dynasty, to ride on their necks?

If it weren't for the powerful force in the hands of this demoness and the puppet Guangxu, who could extract the nation's fortune, they would have already imprisoned and tortured this witch to death.

It could be said that with Tongzhi's death and the old witch's severe loss of strength, losing a third of her territory,

Countless rebels within the Wild Boar Skin Dynasty rose up.

Apart from the core territory controlled by Kang Mazi and Yongzheng, which hadn't fallen into chaos, everywhere else was truly a land of smoke and war.

In the old witch's territory, eight Lords attacked from eight directions.

With a large army pressing on, they directly attacked cities and seized towns.

A few fortified strongholds, difficult to conquer, were fiercely assaulted by the Lords under the eight main Lords and eventually fell.

And with the border strongholds breached, millions of allied troops invaded the old witch's territory.

In terms of troops, because of the defensive position, even though the old witch's garrison had fewer numbers, with a city and a City Defense Barrier, it would require a significant price to break through.

However, the alliance's advantage was also great; they not only had more troops than the garrison corps but also much more high-end combat power.

Basically, in a city with a population of a hundred thousand, there were about ten thousand stationed troops, and the number of Fifth Tier Epics defending usually ranged from five to ten, including noble families within the city.

After the Allied forces broke through the border strongholds, they immediately started splitting forces to attack.

Using ten-thousand-man corps as units, they typically fought with alliances of three to five corps to capture cities.

Each ten-thousand-man corps was led by at least ten Fifth Tier Lords, with some having as many as twenty.

As for the eight main corps, composed of ten ten-thousand-man corps, they had over four hundred Fifth Tier Epic commanders, with even Sixth Tier Legendary figures overseeing them.

The old witch's loyal Epic corps suffered heavy casualties, losing four Sixth Tier Legendaries at once.

It could be said that the number of Sixth Tier Legendaries she controlled was now less than ten, not holding an absolute advantage compared to the eight main Lords.

What made her even more infuriated was that the eight main Lords didn't follow their respective main corps but gathered together.

Each of the eight had a ten-thousand-man elite corps cultivated by themselves, bringing along hundreds of Fifth Tier Epics as their trusted aides.

And that wasn't enough; each was accompanied by a Sixth Tier Legendary.

This force was placed blatantly under the old witch's nose.

Unfortunately, she no longer had the trump cards to strike them all at once.

The old witch dared not rashly dispatch her trump cards to eliminate the eight Lords and had to retreat inside Heavenly Phoenix City.

Now, the entire Heavenly Phoenix City was under martial law.

The mutual collusion between her eunuchs and ministers—how could it escape the old witch's eyes?

Before, she merely turned a blind eye, but now they actually wanted to empty her treasury—how could she tolerate that?

A Sixth Tier Legendary took action, with over twenty thousand Fifth Tier Epics as hounds. The Fourth Tier Professional army guarding the city sealed the entire city.

Thus began a massive purge and slaughter.

This time, the butcher's knife was raised by the old witch, and where it fell was upon those ministers under her.

Any minister colluding with the eunuchs, regardless of background or how much power they controlled, was forcefully taken down.

Not only were these ministers taken down, but their families and clans within Heavenly Phoenix City were all captured and thrown into prison.

With Sixth Tier Legendaries personally overseeing, these ministers had no chance to resist.

It could be said that this internal and external collusion hadn't been executed before the old witch wiped them all out.

Next, how to punish them? Of course, treat them like fat pigs raised for slaughter, and confiscate their family assets!

As for whether she would use the 'Nine Families Elimination Game,' an extremely satisfying game depended on the old witch's mood.

If she was happy, she might give these traitors a quick death, and their families might face reduced punishment.

If she wasn't happy, the technique of stripping nine families was routine, eradicating weeds and roots and forever eliminating future troubles.

This massacre turned the city into a river of blood, and almost daily, one could see criminals brought to the marketplace, summoning executioners, quickly beheaded and separated from their bodies.

Of course, those with heinous crimes faced not just beheading but also lingchi, the outcome of the Top Ten Tortures of the Great Qing.

With the current state of smoke everywhere in the Wild Boar Skin Dynasty, the old witch wanted to regain some public support within Heavenly Phoenix City and establish some authority, so the conspiring families in the city would behave.

Otherwise, she wouldn't mind raising the slaughtering knife against them and cutting them all down like leeks.

Although she wasn't dead, she still held a powerful force. At least within Heavenly Phoenix City, she could still hold her ground, and no one dared challenge her.

This purge reduced the number of ministers on the Phoenix Hall by a third.

The family resources obtained from confiscation continually poured into her treasury.

The warehouse, which had been misappropriated significantly, was directly filled up.

It was imaginable how much corrupt and bribery benefits these ministers had amassed.

Truly, these fattened piglets were killed so cleanly, making one relish every bite.

The purge lasted a full ten days, claiming over ten thousand heads. More than a hundred people were directly executed by lingchi.

This act of making an example of others truly terrified the ministers, eunuchs, and noble families.

Any little schemes were immediately stopped, and one by one, they hid at home, not daring to show their faces, fearing the old witch might notice them, drag them out, execute them, and confiscate their family properties, joyfully anticipating the 'Nine Families Elimination Game.'
