As Niu Chang easily beheaded Shen Yi Ye, the rest of the Shen clan experts were no longer waiting for their turns to take care of him. They soared from their locations without hiding anything. Various auras burst up into the sky, and powerful momentums filled the entire sky of Shenyi City.
Standing in the air, Niu Chang coldly looked down on everything. "Mortals, be obedient and hand over your heads to me. This is the mandate of heaven; nothing you do can save you for another day."
"Cut the crap!"
A man who wore a martial robe with a body full of muscles rapidly raced at Niu Chang. He held a sword in his hand, and his movements were seemingly chaotic and hard to predict. Then, another one came up from a different side, a man who looked to be in his mid-twenties, carrying a spear lunging forward.

As seconds passed, Niu Chang was bombarded by notifications from the system. He could sense their strength and location, but he didn't find anyone who could withstand one attack from him. Even if he didn't use his full power, he was too powerful for any golden core to fight him for more than one move.
He avoided the attack from the muscled man who wielded a sword, then, as before, another golden light flickered, and the man was instantly beheaded. The one who used the spear flabbergasted for a moment and held his step, waiting for others to gang up on Niu Chang.
As the system continuously gave him notifications, Niu Chang also realized it was not limited to Shen clan members but also others.
'Well… since they offered their lives, naturally I wouldn't reject their kindness.'
Since no one was mindlessly attacking him one by one, the sky was already filled with golden core experts. Filtered by his second brain, Niu Chang could easily distinguish who was from the Shen clan and who wasn't.
Every one of those golden cores was staring at him, trying to figure out his identity and background, even more so after witnessing his strange technique that could easily behead two golden cores.
Niu Chang was waiting for every challenger to line up in front of him, so he didn't need to chase them one by one after showing them the might of heaven.
Since it was too boring to stand there, his hands were itching to make a move, so he could only do it according to his Tian Zi persona.
"No need to be afraid, mortals. This is according to the mandate of heaven. Even if you reject it, it will still come at you without any delay."
Niu Chang's eyes scanned the city beneath his feet. It was just for a moment, but that was enough for him to confirm the mobs forming karmic bonds with him. While everyone was waiting for Niu Chang to make his move, a group of four people started to approach him.
The group consisted of three men and one woman, and according to the system, their level was slightly higher than the rest.
In Mo Qi's memories, the Qi Condensation realm only had two levels. The first level was achieved when one condensed their core, and the second level was when they were able to cultivate their spirit and soul.
As for why it was not considered an entirely major realm, even though it provided a qualitative change to the practitioner, it was because everyone could cultivate their soul even before reaching the golden core level if they had a proper cultivation technique for the soul.
After becoming a golden core, it was easier for practitioners to cultivate their soul and spirit. The term generally used was soul suppression level, as an ordinary golden core faced a soul suppression level, their soul would be greatly suppressed by the enemy's presence alone.
From left to right, there was Shen Yi, a man who appeared to be in his fifties but still retained his vigor. He didn't wear a very luxurious robe, but it was decent for his status.
Then there was Shen Yi Yue, a woman whose beauty didn't fade with her age. She appeared at the peak of her beauty with no makeup to enhance her already perfect appearance.
Next was Shen Yi Gu, a boy in his late teenage age, but he didn't show the eyes of someone at his physical age; instead, they were gloomy like those of an old person who has one foot in their grave.
The last one was Shen Yi Yu; he looked like the oldest among the golden cores present in the sky right now, with long white eyebrows and mustache, and his back slightly arched forward as he held a stick to support him while walking.
Looking at the name, Niu Chang couldn't help but ponder for a moment. 'Shen Yi? No other additional word? Is he the one who opened the Yi lineage in the Shen clan? Am I lucky to meet him here?'
Since Shen Yi was the most senior for those in the Yi lineage, everyone gave him their respect by not speaking first. Shen Yi continued to advance while the other three stopped not far away.
He stopped exactly three meters from Niu Chang. His eyes were sharp, and the sword hanging on his waist was ready to be unleashed at any moment. One wrong move, and Niu Chang could be greatly harmed...
Let's just take it as it is.
Niu Chang didn't speak to Shen Yi. They didn't even stare at each other as Niu Chang gazed at his surroundings, acting like an inspector on duty. Even as Niu Chang didn't pay any attention to him, Shen Yi was unable to perceive any openings from the casual Niu Chang.
'Every movement he makes seems weak and unconnected, but the sense of danger I sense from him is real. Has he reached the point where he no longer needs to think to act?' Shen Yi gave his opinion on Niu Chang.
"It seems there are no longer members of your Shen clan hiding behind the scenes. Since that's the case, I will then show you the power of heaven."
The system had already stopped giving him notifications. It was not exactly that there were no longer Shen clan members who bore ill intentions towards him, but rather they didn't even care about this event.
"I don't know who you are and where you come from, but I believe this action of yours will only cause destruction for you and those behind you," Shen Yi said calmly without any emotions.
As the head of the Yi lineage, naturally, his position in the entire Shen clan was quite high. So as an insider, his knowledge was more comprehensive than those golden cores who were participating right now.
"Mortals," Niu Chang calmly said as he materialized a sword made of pure golden light, but it also had a physical appearance as if it was made of metal. Niu Chang also talked at the same time as Shen Yi, and he ignored the latter.
"This is called the Sword of Heaven," Niu Chang grabbed the materialized sword that was proportional to his child's body. He gently held it and said, "the technique that accompanies it is called the Heavenly Sword Technique."
No one was silent anymore; they could feel the danger brewing in their hardened battle instincts and chose to attack directly.
Shen Yi didn't make his move as he watched what Niu Chang wanted to do next.
Various kinds of qi in different colors and attributes were shot at him like a barrage of fireworks.
Wind blades.
Fire projectiles.
Lightning palms.
All kinds of exercises were thrown at him. Not only that, others also started to approach him in formation.
But Niu Chang didn't even move his eyes; nothing could enter his eyes right now as he continued to talk.
"The heaven has nine layers, and thus, this technique has nine moves. The first move is called White Afterglow." Niu Chang, with little effort, moved the Sword of Heaven in his hand and showed the might of heaven to those who were blind enough to challenge its authority.
