Chapter 237: City broken, massacre!

The relatively peaceful order in Xiongan City was instantly broken, with flames and shouts interweaving into a picture of doomsday.

At the center of this change—in the mansions of the five major families—Duke Pei and others were toasting to celebrate.

Duke Pei raised his cup and said loudly, "Today we are planning a great cause together and accomplishing a great cause for the ages! There is a long future ahead of us, and we will share wealth and honor together!"

After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.

Others also raised their glasses in response, their faces filled with pride and ecstasy.

It was as if he had already seen his future as a powerful and wealthy person.

However, what they don't know is that in this game of thrones, there is no eternal winner.

When they betrayed Daqian, betrayed their own beliefs and bottom line, they were doomed to a path of no return.

What awaits them will be a future that is even darker and bloodier than tonight.

As time went by, King Yan's army poured into Xiong'an City like a tide.

The heads of the five major families stood high up in their mansions, overlooking all this, their hearts filled with pride and ecstasy.

They felt as if they had already grasped the power of the entire world, and the future wealth and glory seemed to be beckoning to them.

However, just as they were immersed in the joy of victory, a shrill cry pierced the night sky.

They looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of women and children in gorgeous clothes with terrified looks on their faces being driven by the Fire King's soldiers towards a sea of ​​fire.

They were the family members of the five major families. Their cries and shouts echoed in the night sky, piercing the hearts of the five major family heads like sharp blades.

"Flame King! How dare you be so unfaithful!"

The head of the Li family roared and rushed out of the mansion.

The other family heads also followed suit as if they had just woken up from a dream.

But what awaited them was the cold smiles and grim swords of the Chiyu Army.

"Do you think that by opening the gate of Qianzhou you can be equal to the king?"

The leader of the Chiyu Army sneered, "You so-called famous families are nothing but ants under the feet of this king!"

"Everything you do tonight is for the sake of my hegemony!"

"And now your usefulness has ended!"

After saying this, he waved his hand, and flames suddenly shot up into the sky, turning the entire Xiongan city into a sea of ​​fire.

The heads of the five major families were filled with despair and regret when they saw this scene, but it was too late.

Driven by power and desire, they betrayed their beliefs and bottom line, ultimately leading to the destruction of their families and loved ones.

And those soldiers of the King of Fire, who were once considered useful by them, were now standing on a high place and watching all this coldly, with disdain and ridicule on their faces.

At this time, King Yan was standing in the camp of the Chiyu Army opposite the Daqian rebellion-suppressing army, looking at the map in front of him, and finally his eyes fixed on the city he had just conquered.

His gaze was cold and deep, as if it could penetrate the map in front of him and reach the heart of the five major families.

The five major families, these once powerful and prominent families, became a thorn in his heart after the fall of Xiongan City.

They kept saying that they wanted to submit to him and offered Xiong'an City, the western barrier of Qianzhou, to completely trap the Daqian rebellion-suppressing army led by Tan Mengjun in Yanzhou.

However, he knew very well how cunning and fickle these families were, and their loyalty was like a piece of thin paper that would break at the slightest poke.

Under this situation, the people from the five major families are too untrustworthy!
How many of them are still loyal to the Daqian Dynasty?

This is an unknown, an unknown that prevents King Yan from sleeping peacefully.

He can't gamble, and he dares not gamble!
King Yan knew that if he let the five major families go, they would likely stab him in the back.

By then, it would be fine if all the previous efforts were wasted.

It's just a detachment of troops.

It was just an easy move and he could afford the loss.

But this was the only chance for King Yan to see that he could defeat, or even crush, Tan Mengjun's rebellion army!
Therefore, even if he had to bear a reputation of being treacherous, King Yan did not want to let this opportunity slip away!
"Send a message to Xiong'an City!"

King Yan suddenly shouted, "No one from the five major families will be spared!"

Following King Yan's order, all the strange men and women in the martial arts world recruited by King Yan's Palace were quickly sent towards Xiong'an City.

At this moment, the entire city of Xiongan seemed to be engulfed in a bloody storm.

The mansions of the five major families were surrounded, and no one was spared, regardless of gender, age or status.

Crying, begging for mercy, and cursing came one after another, but none of this could move the cold and hard hearts of the Chiyu Army soldiers.

The leading Chiyu Army stood on the city wall, watching all this with an expressionless face.

He knew what he was doing and what the consequences would be.

But he did not back down, nor did he regret it.

Everything is for the future of the Chiyu Army and the Flame King!

The blood of the five major families flowed like a river, dyeing the entire city red.

Their wealth, status and reputation all vanished at this moment.

And those who once bowed their heads and obeyed their orders have now become the souls of the dead under the sword of the King of Fire.

This is the game of thrones, cruel and ruthless!
King Yan's move was bound to shock everyone in Daqian.

But King Yan doesn't care about their opinions, he only cares about his own goals and interests.

He knew that his actions would bring him countless insults and accusations.

But he also knew that in this chaotic world, only the strong could survive.

What he wants to do is to be the strongest!
No matter what the cost, it is worth it!

The massacre lasted for a whole day and night.

When the sun rose again, the entire Xiongan city had become dead silent.

The people from the five major families had all been killed, and their mansions had been burned to ashes.

Those who survived could only hide in the corner and shiver, praying that the Fire King's butcher knife would not fall on their heads.

King Yan stood in the camp of the Chiyu Army and looked into the distance.

From the moment the five major families of Lingyang County decided to open the city and surrender, the massacre was doomed.

King Yan, who has captured Xiong'an City, must completely eliminate the hidden danger of the five major families.

Otherwise, if the five major families had any evil intentions.

This detachment of the Chiyu Army was destined to never return.

King Yan, who has now rebelled against Qian, will not leave the fate of his army to a group of rebellious families.

Therefore, although he knew that his order had completely cut off the possibility of peace talks with the Daqian Dynasty.

From then on he was a true traitor.

But he has no regrets and no fear.

Because he believed that history is always written by the victors.

As long as he can defeat Tan Mengjun's rebellion army and then seize the entire Qianzhou.

Then he is the winner!
And the winner does not need to explain or apologize!
The Flame King took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

He knew the road ahead would be more difficult and dangerous.

But he is ready to face all challenges and difficulties.
