Liu Shengze, Zhao Jinda.

Both of them were elite members of their clans, and while their powers were only at the fifth or sixth layer of the Vital Energy Refining Realm, they were responsible for managing significant clan enterprises, and they performed their duties excellently.

They were used to being held in high regard wherever they went.

They had come to make trouble at the Wang Family, intending to suppress Wang Longyan. They had arrived brimming with excitement, imagining all the benefits their clans would garner if they could suppress the Wang Family once more.

However, as soon as they arrived at the entrance of the Wang Family, they were faced with one brutal blow after another. Even their Old Ancestors were nearly killed, barely managing to survive by begging for mercy.

Such a humiliation was not where their misery ended…

At this moment, Liu Shengze and Zhao Jinda were bound tightly, in a distressing and disgraced state. Any aura of nobility they held had vanished, their eyes filled with deep fear and despair.

They wanted to defend themselves, but didn’t know where to begin. All the charges listed against them were accurate and undisputable.

Perhaps the only defense they could offer was that everything they did was for their clans and not borne out of personal desire. However, by doing so, they would inevitably bring their own clans into the ordeal, implicating their own descendants as well.

They understood what the Town Governor meant by preserving their clan’s honor. They were also aware of the relationship their clans had with Lei Yangqiu. If they were to offend Lei Yangqiu, there would be no peaceful days ahead for their clans.

After a fierce internal struggle, the two of them finally made up their minds.

“Head of the house!” A distraught Liu Shengze cried out, “Take good care of Yuongzhou. Wang Shouzhe, Wang Dingzu, your deaths shall be terrible.”

Having said that, he agitated his Mysterious Energy and shattered his own heart. In the throes of death, his heart convulsed violently, and he spat out a mouthful of blood before succumbing to death.

Zhao Jinda likewise laughed bitterly and said, “Wang Family, your arrogance will not last forever. Son, take care of your mother and siblings.”

With that, he followed the example of Liu Shengze and committed suicide in order to preserve some honor for his clan.

With their “heroic sacrifices”, members of the Liu and Zhao Families were overwhelmed with grief. Many of them cried, their hatred for Wang Shouzhe, Wang Dingzu, and even the entire Wang Family intensifying. Wang Shouzhe, today’s matter is far from over with you.

Liu Yongzhou and Zhao Dingtian, the sons of the deceased, were so distraught that they had to be forcefully taken away from the scene by members of their respective families.

The Old Ancestors of the Liu and Zhao families, Zhao Bojun and Liu Zhde, glared fiercely at Wang Shouzhe. Was it conceivable that they would let the deaths of those children be in vain?

Even some of the females from the Wang clan couldn’t bear to watch and shielded their children’s eyes. However, the Wang people would never truly sympathize with their enemies. The actions of the Liu and Zhao families against the Wang Family had already made them incompatible.

“I must admit, they were brave men.” Lei Yangqiu appeared to be slightly moved, then turned to Wang Shouzhe and said sarcastically, “Clan Leader Wang, are you satisfied with this result?”

Of course, he wasn’t pleased. All of this was forced upon him by Wang Shouzhe, compelling him to act against the Liu and Zhao Families.

As a result, the previously submissive Liu and Zhao families might bear a grudge against the Lei Family that would be hard to reconcile.

Meanwhile,

The onlookers also seemed to let out a breath of relief and began to cheer for Lei Yangqiu.

Many expressed their admiration for Lei Yangqiu’s fair and impartial enforcement of the law. They didn’t expect him to punish the offspring of the Liu and Zhao Families for the deaths of commoners. Comments praising the Celestial Beings and their families filled the air.

Lei Yangqiu, who had reached the Spiritual Platform Realm, regained some of his dignity when he heard these comments. Although the matter was forced upon him and was unpleasant, at least he had earned some renown.

“I am not satisfied,” Wang Shouzhe answered solemnly and confidently.

This response caught everyone off guard. Even the Old Ancestor standing nearby, and the crowd watching the Liu siblings, were struck with apprehension, fearing that Yangqiu’s anger might be fully ignited.

The discussions of the onlookers died down, leaving a bewildered crowd. Everyone thought that Lei, the Municipal Magistrate, has done all he could. How could Clan Leader Wang still be unhappy?

Some members of the Liu and Zhao families couldn’t help but feel a surge of elation. Wang Shouzhe was digging his own grave, offering the Municipal Magistrate, who felt humiliated, an opportunity to retaliate.

“What?” The slight sense of satisfaction in Lei Yangqiu’s heart froze, replaced by uncontrollable fury. He laughed with rage, “Very well, Wang Clan Leader. Please set the conditions. I guarantee that I will satisfy you today.”

He had originally planned to deal with Wang Shouzhe after this incident and then find an excuse to trouble the Wang Family. He was determined to have his revenge on Wang Shouzhe, who had played him today, ten-fold and even a hundred-fold.

But, to his surprise, Wang Shouzhe had provided him the handle he needed without any prompting. If he didn’t make things clear now, Lei Yangqiu could start stirring up trouble immediately.

“First, the Honorable Municipal Magistrate referred to them as valiant men, implying some measure of respect,” Wang Shouzhe declared solemnly. “Although there was no formal trial, it’s clear from the charges that they were the masterminds behind multiple family massacres. They are soaked in innocent blood and have committed heinous crimes. Yet, you express admiration for such brutal beasts, which suggests that you inherently approve their actions. This makes me doubt whether someone with your moral compass and reputation should hold the position of Town Governor in Ping’an Town.”
