Holden Hong had already made up his mind. Originally, he was waiting for the right moment—waiting until all arrangements were set in secret, so he could catch Evan Chu completely off guard.
But now, it looks like that plan is useless.
If Star-Treasure Pavilion is truly set on helping Evan Chu, then Holden has no way to stop it. But if Holden strikes first, cleaning house under the banner of 'crushing traitors,' then everything falls into place—so naturally that not even Star-Treasure Pavilion, or even the Five Sacred Lands, could intervene.
After all, the Star-River Dominion has its own Heavenly Dao laws, its own rules and constraints. The ironclad laws of the Three Thousand Dynasties aren’t so easily broken. If anyone could just ignore the rules and do as they pleased, the Dominion would’ve fallen into chaos long ago.
“Notify all dynastic forces: When the Frostbane Grand Army cleans house, if anyone dares to interfere or cause trouble, then Frostbane Dynasty will settle all old and new scores together.
But if anyone is willing to help Frostbane, Frostbane Dynasty will be generous—everyone will be richly rewarded!”
Holden continued issuing a series of commands, and with that, the old structure of the Frostbane Dynasty was completely shattered.
The original structure of the Seven Grand Legions remained, but the arrangements of the Asura Hall, Shadow Hall, Punishment Hall, and War God Hall were all thrown into chaos.
The trusted aides of the Four Temple Masters and several Thrones were either executed or brainwashed. In an instant, the entire dynasty was swept into an era where Holden Hong alone covered the sky with one hand.
Or rather, Holden had always ruled with one hand over the sky—this was just the moment it finally showed.
