"Lord, you mustn't!" Ling Xiaotian's expression suddenly changed.
How could he have guessed that Lord Shen Ying would judge Su Yu guilty and execute him in front of everyone, without even asking the truth?
"Why? Are you questioning my decision?" Lord Shen Ying looked down at the kneeling Ling Xiaotian.
Ling Xiaotian was speechless. The difference in status between the two of them was huge.
The Saint was the most powerful person in Dynasty apart from the King of Darkness.
He had the power to decide the life and death of his subordinates. As long as he deemed them worthy of death, he could kill them first and report later.
Ling Xiaotian had once received a favor from the King of Darkness, and his status was extraordinary. That was why Lord Shen Ying did not dare to kill him in front of everyone.
But Su Yu …
Ling Xiaotian clenched his teeth. He was already suspected of betraying the dynasty, so there was still a chance for him to survive if he was put on trial.
At this moment, if he were to betray the sage in front of everyone, then his crime would be completely established.
"No, I'm just asking the Lord to consider it carefully. Yin Yu's innate talent is astonishing. Even if he has made a mistake, wouldn't it be a waste of God's gift if he were to be killed just like that? This will undoubtedly disappoint the geniuses in the world who are willing to submit to Dynasty. "
These words were reasonable.
Lord Shen Ying glanced at Yin Yu. Yin Yu was on the verge of death. He only had half his life left.
"I don't understand. You're a person who's about to die. It doesn't matter if you die now or later. Why are you so stubborn?"
Lord Shen Ying shook his head. His expression was cold and impartial. "Yin Yu has committed heinous crimes. He has harmed his own people and killed the inspector. His crimes cannot be forgiven. According to the laws of the empire, he should be beheaded!"
"Men, kill them!"
With a command, the two old men behind him, who were at the level of an admiral, coldly stepped forward.
Ling Xiaotian struggled.
If he obeyed and returned to the dynasty's headquarters, he would still have a chance to clear his name.
It was too late to resist now.
There was no master-disciple relationship between him and Su Yu, let alone friendship.
There was only Ling Xiaotian's support for Su Yu.
He could sit back and do nothing. After all, he couldn't even protect himself. Presumably, no one in the world would blame him.
Hu –
The two old men's movements were swift and decisive. The strong wind that they brought with them fluttered Ling Xiaotian's clothes and also his heart.
Looking at Su Yu, who was on the verge of death, his heart was filled with remorse and remorse.
In the past, he had spoken such bold words in the Hundred Territories Alliance, in front of all the heroes of the world.
As long as he was alive, he would not allow anyone to harm him.
Now, not only was Su Yu severely injured and on the verge of death, but he was also about to be killed in front of everyone.
His promise, pale and ridiculous, powerless and weak.
"Hand it over!" The two inspectors grabbed the heavily injured Su Yu coldly.
Bang!
However, just as the two of them were about to grab him, Ling Xiaotian moved.
With a palm strike, the two inspectors were forced to retreat.
"Yin Yu, you cannot die. Even if you only have half a life left, it is a life that I, Ling Xiaotian, cannot let go of!" Ling Xiaotian slowly got up and stood up on his knees.
His eyes were filled with determination and relief.
"How could I forget my promise to him? As long as I'm still alive, I won't let him die! "
Whoosh —
The God Vanquishing Spear flew back into Ling Xiaotian's hand.
Lord Shen Ying's expression gradually turned ice-cold. He said sharply, "Are you really planning to betray the empire?"
Ling Xiaotian held the God Destroying Spear in his hand and prepared for battle. "It's not a betrayal, it's a promise."
"It's all the same." Lord Shen Ying shook his head slightly. His eyes were cold.
Ling Xiaotian said, "Lord, please give me some time. Yin Yu needs treatment!"
Lord Shen Ying let out a laugh. "Ling Xiaotian, I thought you were a man of character. Now, it seems like you are a hypocrite! In this world, other than the king, who can use divine power to treat Su Yu's injuries?
You used the excuse of treating his injuries to find an excuse for yourself to escape. "Lord Shen Ying's eyes were filled with disdain.
"Come with me obediently! Otherwise, don't blame me for attacking! "
Ling Xiaotian let out a long sigh. "Don't stop me! Let me save him! "
"I have already given you the chance." Lord Shen Ying had lost his patience.
"Restrict!"
Lord Shen Ying opened his mouth and let out a breath.
The breath formed the word "restrict." It was filled with boundless mystery as it suppressed Ling Xiaotian.
"Break!"
Ling Xiaotian raised the World Destroying Spear high, his aura magnificent.
Thump —
The word "restrict" was blocked, but Ling Xiaotian's body let out a cracking sound.
The veins on his neck were bulging, his facial muscles tensed, and he clenched his teeth. His eyes were filled with pain.
It was as if his physical body was enduring a great pressure.
The seemingly casual attack had caused Ling Xiaotian, who was wielding the palace garrison divine artifact, to only be able to defend himself!
This was the power of a Human King!
Even if a Heaven Master wielded a divine artifact and had abilities close to that of a Human King, he was still no match for Lord Shen Ying.
"You overestimate yourself! Since ancient times, those who went against a lord never had a good ending!
Fire Restriction! "
Suddenly, the word "restrict" turned into a ball of raging flames, exploding with a bang.
Ling Xiaotian was instantly engulfed by the raging flames.
But the raging flames did not harm him. They only turned into a dense net of fire, trapping Ling Xiaotian.
Creak —
The World Destroying Spear in his hand flew back into Lord Shen Ying's palm.
Ling Xiaotian was trapped, his divine weapon stolen. Everything happened in an instant.
The difference in abilities between the two was like the difference between heaven and earth.
Be it the Three Great Heaven Masters or the Phoenix Cabinet's Master, they were all shocked.
That was the ability of a Human King!
With a wave of his hand, he had sealed a Heaven Master.
Glancing at Su Yu, who was falling from the sky and about to be smashed into meat paste, Lord Shen Ying let out an apathetic laugh.
"Let's go!"
Ling Xiaotian looked at Su Yu falling. His eyes were about to pop, and he let out a roar. "No!"
Creak —
But Ling Xiaotian let out a low roar, forcefully breaking free of his restraints. He flew down with the raging flames, grabbing Su Yu.
"You still dare to rebel!"
An angry snort followed closely behind.
Ling Xiaotian turned around and struck.
"A futile struggle!" Lord Shen Ying's expression was indifferent as he pointed a finger.
Thump —
Blood rained down. Ling Xiaotian's palm exploded. His body looked as if it had been struck by lightning. Like a star, he fell to the ground faster than Su Yu!
Thump —
Dust filled the air, swirling above a giant crater.
Ling Xiaotian's flesh was torn, blood drenching his clothes. Many of his injuries were so deep that his bones could be seen.
With just one strike, Ling Xiaotian was seriously injured.
Thump —
Su Yu also fell at that moment.
Guided by a shred of spirit energy, he gently landed on Ling Xiaotian's body.
A gratified, pathetic smile appeared on Ling Xiaotian's lips. "As long as you are fine …"
He could not even take care of himself, yet he was still worried about Su Yu.
Lord Shen Ying floated down, slightly creasing his brows.
After thinking for a moment, Lord Shen Ying calmly said, "Fine. Bring Yin Yu along as well. We'll bring him back to the Empire's headquarters for interrogation!"
With Yin Yu in his hands, Ling Xiaotian might be more obedient. When they returned to the headquarters and used Yin Yu as a hostage, Ling Xiaotian would probably have some reservations.
In a short moment, Lord Shen Ying changed his mind.
Without any more resistance, the two of them were grabbed by the two inspectors, heading toward the darkness.
Ling Xiaotian was extremely bitter. His palm quietly pressed against Su Yu's back. A shred of blood-red energy secretly entered his body.
Suddenly, Lord Shen Ying raised his palm and grabbed, restraining the heavily injured Master of the Phoenix Cabinet.
"We need a witness for this matter. Master of the Phoenix Cabinet, follow me." He wanted the Master of the Phoenix Cabinet to testify that Ling Xiaotian had used a divine artifact to participate in matters not related to the Empire and had betrayed him in front of everyone.
The expressions of the female disciples changed. They roared angrily, wanting to charge forward.
"No!" The Master of the Phoenix Cabinet hurriedly stopped them. With their battle abilities, they would only die in vain in the hands of Lord Shen Ying.
"All of you, retreat quickly. Stay away from the Phoenix Cabinet. If I can survive, I will rebuild the Phoenix Cabinet!"
The 10,000 disciples finally calmed down.
The Cabinet Master had been sent to the Empire's headquarters. Without a special reason, the Empire might not kill her.
Only by preserving their strength could they make a comeback.
Understanding this thought, with Mu Tianfang and the Eight Great Phoenix Ladies leading the way, they bowed toward the Master of the Phoenix Cabinet. "We await Master's return!"
After saying this, the 10,000 disciples turned into beautiful afterimages, escaping into the sky.
Although Han Jianglin and the other two were unwilling, they were heavily injured. Furthermore, the Lord was present. How could they dare act rashly?
As for Lord Shen Ying, he was even more disdainful of chasing after a motley crew.
"Let's go!"
With a wave of his big sleeves, Lord Shen Ying and his group disappeared into the sky, not even leaving behind afterimages.
The ground was littered with corpses. The Phoenix Cabinet was in a state of desolation.
"Cough …" Han Jianglin clutched his chest, feeling a lingering fear.
It had been a narrow escape. It had been extremely dangerous.
"Feng Xian!" With a fearful expression, Han Jianglin tilted his head and shouted, "The Phoenix Cabinet has been eliminated, and the North Continent's Alliance has been established. When will the lord you spoke of arrive?"
The Snow Listening Tower's Master and the Anyue City Master looked toward Feng Xian at the same time.
"According to the agreement, the North Continent's Alliance has been established. If nothing goes wrong, we will soon be noticed by the Empire of Darkness. If they feel threatened and attack us, the consequences will be dire. Contact that lord immediately!"
It was no wonder that they dared to provoke the Empire of Darkness. There was indeed someone behind them.
Feng Xian had a noble temperament. Her whole body emitted a pure and holy aura. Her lips curled into a mocking smile. "Don't you think it's funny? If the Empire wanted to destroy you, Lord Shen Ying would have done so long ago. Why wait until later? "
The three of them looked angry. "How dare you! How dare you speak to us like that? "
Han Jianglin's expression turned savage. "You are just a Little Phoenix Lady. You are just a middleman between us and that lord. Do you think that you are on par with us?"
The Phoenix Lady laughed coldly. "At least my status is higher than yours."
"You are seeking death!" The Anyue City Master snorted.
Before they joined forces, they had received the secret instructions of an unparalleled expert.
That expert had never revealed his true form, but the aura he released made them feel as if the world was about to be destroyed.
It was because there was such an expert behind them that they had the guts to do so.
As for Feng Xian, because she had the Pure Divine Decree and could understand the world, she could receive the thoughts of that expert from thousands of miles away. Thus, she became the messenger between them.
Unexpectedly, Feng Xian was arrogant and actually looked down on them.
"You are the one who is seeking death!"
Bang —
All of a sudden, a ray of divine light shot over from the distance.
It was a giant yellow bird that emitted a destructive aura.
"Demon Emperor! A peak-level Demon Emperor! "
The Snow Listening Tower's Master felt his whole body stiffen as he was struck by the divine light.
The yellow bird within the divine light clawed at him casually.
With a bang, the Snow Listening Tower's Master turned into a pile of flesh and blood.
From the beginning to the end, the Snow Listening Tower's Master did not even have time to resist!
