"Yes!"
Xin Zhengye didn't ask Lin Tian why he wanted the treasure. After all, Lin Tian was a martial arts cultivator. It was normal for him to look for stronger weapons.
"Just in time. A sword just arrived at Treasure Loft."
Xin Zhengye said.
"How much is it?"
Lin Tian asked.
Xin Zhengye thought for a moment and said, "You have a silver token. Sell it at the original price. 15 million spirit coins."
Lin Tian nodded and took out a purple card.
The Lin Family's property was in Fengjian City. He had been in Fengjian City for a long time. Not long ago, the Qin Family had completely collected the Xiao Family's property. Together with the money earned from the Lin Family's property, there were more than 20 million spirit coins.
Xin Zhengye was surprised. He didn't expect Lin Tian to be so rich.
"Wait a moment."
Xin Zhengye said and walked to the back room.
Soon, Xin Zhengye came up with a sword case and handed it to Lin Tian.
"Low-grade treasure. It's called the Soul Sword."
Xin Zhengye said.
Lin Tian opened the case. There was a four-foot-long sword in the case. It was cold and seemed to be able to cut through everything.
Lin Tian was somewhat satisfied. Holding the sword hilt, he shook it slightly and put it into the stone ring.
Low-grade treasure could increase the combat power of its owner by 80%.
"Thank you."
He said to Xin Zhengye.
As he spoke, he turned around and walked out.
"Wait!" Xin Zhengye called Lin Tian. He hesitated for a moment and said, "The General's Mansion …" Lin Tian had come to Treasure Loft with Ji Yu. They seemed to be very close. Xin Zhengye knew that Lin Tian and the General's Mansion might have some relationship. At least, he and Ji Yu were good friends. Now that the General's Mansion was in trouble, Xin Zhengye wanted to know Lin Tian's reaction.
Lin Tian stopped in his tracks, and Xin Zhengye felt that the air had suddenly become colder.
"You …"
The coldness made Xin Zhengye's expression change. It was a horrible killing intent.
Lin Tian tilted his head and looked at Xin Zhengye. "Do you think Ji Yuanshan will usurp the throne?"
Xin Zhengye shook his head in silence.
"Old General Ji has fought on the battlefield for dozens of years. He has assisted several generations of Kings of Beiyan. His prestige is too great. Now that the new king has ascended to the throne, he doesn't want anyone who can threaten his throne. So … "Xin Zhengyan sighed." This is what they mean by the saying, 'one's achievements can shake the ruler.' In history, there are many people like this. "
"My achievements shake the emperor?"
Lin Tianleng smiled.
All of a sudden, Xin Zhengye felt an even colder aura. His heart couldn't help but shrink.
Taking a deep breath, Xin Zhengye said, "Tomorrow, the new king will personally parade General Ji through the streets, and then behead him."
At this point, Xin Zhengye felt a little helpless. In fact, many people in the Northern Flame Country were critical of the royal family's actions. After all, Ji Yuanshan had contributed a lot to the Northern Flame Country, and several of his sons had died on the battlefield. In the past few decades, it could be said that Ji Yuanshan had protected the peace of Beiyan.
However, the new king, Zhu Wudao, didn't care because he had evidence of Ji Yuanshan's rebellion.
"I know. That's why I'm here to get the sword."
Lin Tiantan said coldly.
Hearing this, Xin Zhengye's expression changed. "You, you want to …"
Lin Tian didn't say anything else. He stepped forward and walked out.
Staring at Lin Tian's back, Xin Zhengye felt something hit his chest.
The young man's back, at this moment, was so majestic.
…
A day passed quickly.
It was late winter. The sky was filled with heavy snow. The majestic ancient buildings in the Imperial City were covered in white snow. The whole world was shrouded in pure white.
The air was cold. However, on this day, the streets of the Imperial City were filled with people.
In the distance, a group of soldiers walked over. There were at least a few hundred of them.
In the middle of the group, there was a Vajra Cage. In the cage, there was an old man. His long hair was loose, and he looked haggard.
"Ji Yuanshan, that old general."
"I never thought that Old General Ji would have the intention to rebel."
"Sigh, the human heart."
Many people murmured.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! It was the sound of hundreds of soldiers' armor. At the same time, the sound of the soldiers' footsteps shook the streets of the Imperial City.
In the middle of the hundreds of soldiers, four figures stood out.
Zhu Wudao, Jiang Renwen, Duan Wenbo, and Leng Feng.
"The former general, Ji Yuanshan, secretly colluded with the enemy and attempted to usurp the throne. He failed to live up to the trust of the previous emperors. Today, he will be paraded through the streets and executed!"
In the middle of the hundreds of soldiers, a commander shouted loudly.
His voice spread quickly, causing many onlookers on both sides of the street to point and shake their heads.
In the cage, Ji Yuanshan was unkempt like a beggar. He didn't care about the commander's words at all.
"After today, everything will be settled."
Duan Wenbo said.
Leng Feng nodded.
Zhu Wudao wore a crown and smiled faintly.
The four of them talked calmly. The sound of horse hooves echoed in the air. The wheels of the cage ran over the ground, leaving wet marks.
Suddenly, the wind and snow became heavier. Heavy snow rolled in all directions, causing many people to cover their eyes.
"This weather is really strange!"
Someone muttered.
The swirling wind and snow dispersed. At this moment, the soldier at the front suddenly stopped.
"Why did you stop?"
The commander shouted.
The crowd looked forward. At the end of the street, a young man in a long robe stood there. His slender figure stood straight, like an immortal heavenly monument.
"Lin Tian!"
Jiang Renwen's eyes suddenly became as cold as a sharp sword, filled with murderous intent.
Duan Wenbo and Leng Feng's expressions changed. Lin Tian, who fell off the cliff, was still alive!
Zhu Wudao's eyes narrowed slightly, then calmed down.
In the cage, Ji Yuanshan raised his head and was shocked. He revealed a surprised expression. "Little brother, you're still alive!" After a pause, Ji Yuanshan seemed to have thought of something. His expression suddenly changed. "What are you doing here? Leave quickly!"
Lin Tian's expression was calm, and he didn't move at all.
"Old general, if time went back a few decades, would you still fight for Beiyan on the battlefield?"
Looking at Ji Yuanshan, Lin Tian asked.
Ji Yuanshan was silent for a moment, then said, "Yes!"
Lin Tian was still calm. "Why?"
"For the people."
Ji Yuanshan said.
Lin Tian glanced at the onlookers on both sides of the street, revealing a cold smile. "For the people?"
Meeting Lin Tian's gaze, the onlookers trembled, clearly feeling a strong sense of mockery.
Staring at Ji Yuanshan, Lin Tiandao said, "As a junior, I don't want to deny your thoughts, but I still want to say that this kind of thinking is very stupid. You bled at the border, your son died for the empire, you assisted several generations of emperors, you protected Beiyan's peace for decades, and swept away the chaos at the border. But, so what? Who would remember you? The royal family framed you and wanted to get rid of you because of your merits. The commoners that you have always protected, even if they knew that you were wrongly accused, no one would stand up for you. Your beliefs are worthless. "
His calm words immediately moved most of the onlookers.
On both sides of the street, some onlookers looked ashamed, and many people lowered their heads. Among these people, there were indeed many who knew the royal family's thoughts and knew that Ji Yuanshan was wronged. But, in the face of the huge royal family, who would dare to stand up for Ji Yuanshan? That would be disobeying the royal power, and nine generations of the family would be exterminated!
"Presumptuous! Take him down! "
A commander shouted.
Suddenly, the dozens of soldiers at the front all rushed toward Lin Tian.
"Little brother, leave quickly!"
Ji Yuanshan said anxiously.
Lin Tian's expression was indifferent. "If it were me, I wouldn't contribute to this country, because I'm not worthy."
Clang!
The clanging of swords sounded, and the dazzling lightning sword qi swept in all directions.
Puff!
Puff!
Puff!
Blood splattered, and in an instant, the dozens of soldiers who rushed forward were all killed, falling into a pool of blood.
Such a scene instantly shocked everyone.
On both sides of the street, all the onlookers were shocked, and all of them were in chaos.
"Traitor! Go, capture him! "
The commander was furious.
There were hundreds of soldiers on the street, and in terms of combat strength, they were naturally not weak.
Suddenly, more soldiers rushed toward Lin Tian.
Lin Tianyi walked toward the cage step by step, as if he didn't see the dense crowd of soldiers rushing toward him. He stared straight at Ji Yuanshan. "Now, you're being paraded through the street, and you're going to be executed on the street. And your only granddaughter, Ji Yu, is under house arrest in the palace. Tell me, what's the point of fighting on the battlefield for so many years?"
The violent killing intent swept across the sky, and the destructive sword qi clanged.
Puff!
Puff!
Puff!
Blood fell like rain, and the soldiers fell one by one, and their lives were mercilessly reaped.
This was a terrifying scene. A slender silhouette, holding a long sword, was moving forward with hundreds of soldiers. No one could get within ten feet of this silhouette. Anyone who tried to get close to him was torn into pieces by the violent sword intent. Even some of the early stage Divine Range experts were no exception.
Ji Yuanshan's face became a little ugly, and he couldn't help but clench his fist.
The commander who escorted Ji Yuanshan was furious and rushed forward personally.
"Die!"
The commander's cultivation was at the peak of the Eighth Sky of Divine Range, and his combat strength was very strong. He suddenly pressed down with the Xuanhua Ax in his hand.
Lin Tian turned a blind eye and waved his hand, and a ray of Azure Thunder Sword Qi swept over.
Puff!
The commander's throat was directly penetrated, and blood fell like rain. He died on the spot.
On both sides of the street, many onlookers looked pale.
"This …"
"He, he wants to … rob the prisoner carriage!"
"He dares to openly go against the royal family!"
"The new king is still here!"
Everyone's face changed color.
The royal family of the Northern Flame Country looked down on the entire empire. Now, there was someone who dared to kill the soldiers of the empire in front of the king of the Northern Flame Country. This crime was too serious!
"Let me!"
A cold voice sounded.
Jiang Renwen's face was cold, and he jumped up and came to Lin Tian.
"You actually survived after falling off the cliff. You're lucky! Just right, I'll kill you myself today! "
Jiang Renwen said coldly.
He unsheathed his Bejeweled Sword, and a terrifying sword aura condensed, crushing all the surrounding snowflakes.
"Trash!"
Lin Tianzhi only had two words.
