"Do you not understand what I''m saying?"Hu Shaomeng''s face had turned slightly black, feeling that his authority was being constantly challenged.


    This damn nobody, this country bumpkin who came out of nowhere, repeatedly disrespecting him, it was simply outrageous.


    He shouted angrily, filled with anger, "Give it to me now..."


    But the word "get lost" got stuck in his throat.


    "I am the envoy of the Zhongxuan Family, my real name is Jiang Wang. I have come from the Qi Kingdom!"


    Jiang Wang interrupted him coldly.


    "If you have any doubts about my identity, you can contact anyone from the Zhongxuan Family that you can reach to verify."


    "But whether you agree or not, whether you are willing or not, I am here to take over."


    S?a??h th? ??v?lF?re.?et website on G??gl? to access chapters of n?vels early and in the highest quality.


    "This is the Zhongxuan Family''s mining site, and I am the envoy of the Zhongxuan Family. The Zhongxuan Family has granted me the authority to control this place, including the power of punishment! Since you cannot bear the responsibility you should bear, then I will take back this power on behalf of the Zhongxuan Family, and I will bear this matter!"


    He originally wanted to wait a little longer, to see what secret dealings Hu Shaomeng had behind his back, what plans he had. That would be foolproof, not in vain for him to sneak into the mining site.


    But if he waited any longer, Ge Heng might have escaped.


    The mining site was right here, it couldn''t run away. But in this vast world, there were plenty of dark corners to accommodate people like Ge Heng.


    Jiang Wang didn''t consider the factors that needed to be weighed.


    He couldn''t let this disgusting old man go.


    He couldn''t bear it any longer.


    Today, Jiang Wang didn''t need to bear it anymore.


    "Now it''s my turn to speak." Jiang Wang looked at Ge Heng and said, "You are guilty. You have tortured maidservants and forced innocent people to death. You... have committed the crime of murder!"


    Ge Heng was stunned for a moment, not understanding how Dugu An suddenly became the envoy of the Zhongxuan Family, Jiang Wang.


    But he quickly reacted. Since Hu Shaomeng didn''t speak up, it meant that there was indeed an envoy from the Zhongxuan Family.


    "Lord Jiang, Lord Jiang! I have eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai, I have been disrespectful!" He apologized repeatedly.


    As he spoke, he even slapped himself on the mouth, speaking humbly, "You are a great person, please don''t lower yourself to my level..."


    Just by looking at his humble appearance now, who could imagine his arrogant attitude when they first met?


    "What do I need to lower myself to your level for?" Jiang Wang said coldly, "It''s just a small matter between us. What you have committed is a great crime."


    "Lord Jiang." Ge Heng smiled apologetically, "The so-called transcendent beings are naturally extraordinary. We transcendent beings have long been in a different world from those ordinary people. As fellow transcendent cultivators, why bother fighting over these ants?"


    He lowered his head and hunched his back, speaking humbly, "If you have any opinions or dissatisfaction, I can make it up to you. I come from the Qingmu Immortal Sect, I must have a way to satisfy you."


    His attitude was indeed sincere, and he seemed very sincere.


    But until now, he still didn''t know what he had done wrong.


    He still thought that Jiang Wang was targeting him because of his previous offenses and disrespect.


    From beginning to end, he didn''t think there was anything wrong with his actions towards those ordinary people, even if he humiliated the maidservant, even if he forced someone to death.


    Apologizing with his mouth, but not in his heart.


    He wasn''t really apologizing, he was just submitting to a higher level of power.


    He simply didn''t understand that Jiang Wang didn''t care about those offenses and disputes at all.


    It was precisely this attitude of treating all living beings as insignificant, this attitude of causing harm to the innocent but feeling no remorse, that made Jiang Wang angry.


    The entire Fenglin City was sacrificed like this. The entire city fell into the depths of the underworld, countless souls forever trapped, all for the sake of Zhu Chengqian''s Profound Truth Realm!


    "What is considered ordinary? They work hard, striving to support their families, is that considered ordinary?"


    "They are honest and upright, never harboring ill intentions towards others, is that considered ordinary?"


    "They don''t steal or rob, they don''t deceive or cheat. They rely on their own hands and work hard to the point of risking their lives. Do you call them ''ordinary''?"


    "In my opinion, they are not ordinary, but great! Great lives are born from the ordinary!"


    Jiang Wang stared at Ge Heng, his gaze sharp as a knife, "And you? You bully the weak and fear the strong, you oppress those beneath you, you put on a show in front of others but engage in immoral activities behind their backs. You have entered the realm of transcendence, but you lack the mindset of a transcendent being. You hold a high position, but you don''t bear the responsibilities that come with it. That is what is ordinary, that is what is considered ordinary!"


    "And you!" He pointed at Zhang Hai, Xiang Qian, and Hu Shaomeng one by one.


    "You are just holding a position without doing anything!"


    "You are just drifting through life!"


    "You are numb and heartless!"


    Finally, he turned back to Ge Heng, "Cultivation, cultivation. You have erased the human side of yourself and brought out the beastly side! You can''t tolerate the ordinary, you stink!"


    Zhang Hai and Xiang Qian remained silent, Hu Shaomeng was filled with anger but restrained himself from speaking.


    Ge Heng was scolded until he was covered in dog''s blood, he wanted to get angry, but after all, he didn''t dare to be insolent towards the envoy of the Zhongxuan Family."Every time I think that I am in the same Transcendent category as someone like you, I feel insulted."


    His words were final, leaving no room for rebuttal.


    Jiang Wang finally declared, "In the name of Jiang Wang, I strip you of your Transcendent status!"


    Ge Heng abruptly stood up, refusing to surrender without a fight.


    Since begging for mercy was useless, he might as well take a risk. If he killed this dog of a messenger, he could escape from Yang Kingdom. The Re-Xuan family might not be able to find him.


    "Go to hell..."


    His curse had barely left his lips when he found himself unable to move.


    His mouth was unable to speak, his limbs unable to move, only his eyes revealed an uncontrollable terror.


    Tiger Binding!


    Among the top-tier Dao techniques, Tiger Binding was considered a gem. In a battle at Jiang Wang''s level, it could only restrain the opponent for a few moments.


    But against a mere Meridian Realm practitioner like the old and frail Ge Heng, it was enough to control him until death.


    This single Dao technique extinguished Hu Shaomeng''s thoughts, making him behave obediently.


    Jiang Wang slowly approached Ge Heng, each step like a weight on his heart, almost making him want to kneel and beg for mercy.


    However, the wood energy within his body bound him from the inside out, preventing him from even kneeling.


    "Do you enjoy torturing people? Do you take pleasure in their suffering?"


    Jiang Wang asked this as he walked behind the old man. He drew out his sword, Long Xiangsi, and pressed the tip against the junction of Ge Heng''s spine and neck.


    The cold touch of the blade sent chills throughout Ge Heng''s body.


    He used to enjoy the struggling pleas, the crying, and the endless screams of the pitiful maidservants.


    But now, he couldn''t even scream.


    He couldn''t struggle or cry. All his fear and resentment had nowhere to vent.


    The sword slowly sank in.


    The sharp blade met no resistance as it easily severed the entire spine.


    For any cultivator below the Soaring Dragon Realm, this meant... the collapse of the Heavenly Palace.


    The Dao element dissipated, the five energies were in chaos, and the Tiger Binding automatically failed.


    Jiang Wang sheathed his sword, and Ge Heng collapsed onto the ground like a pile of mud.


    Only then was he able to let out a mournful wail.


    He had been completely ruined, and was now even worse off than an ordinary old man.


    Aging, frail, powerless.


    Once high and mighty, now fallen into dust.


    Jiang Wang glanced at Hu Shaomeng, Zhang Hai, and Xiang Qian, and said indifferently, "Follow me."


    He led the Transcendent cultivators back to the previous meeting room, leaving Ge Heng to the angry crowd.
