The next moment …
The three thousand black swords appeared in Chu Xingyun's dimensional space. They circled in the sky for a few rounds before turning into three thousand stars that emitted cold light and disappeared into the canopy.
Chu Xingyun nodded in satisfaction. He had his own considerations and plans for merging the three thousand black-light crimson swords into the Sky Curtain.
In the dimensional space, there were a hundred and eight thousand ninth grade spirit stones embedded in the canopy.
Therefore, after integrating the three thousand black swords into the canopy, they could absorb the energy of the five elements emitted by the ninth grade spirit stones at any time to nourish themselves and accelerate the condensation and growth of the three thousand swords.
Fa … Father …
Zhang Xuan nodded his head in satisfaction. In the next moment, a joyful yet slightly nervous voice sounded behind him.
Chu Xingyun smiled when he heard this voice. He slowly turned around and looked at Chu Wuyi.
After sizing up Chu Wuyi, Chu Xingyun said, "You should take care of things here first. When you're done, we can sit down and have a good chat."
Chu Wuyi nodded. He knew that now was not the time to chat.
As the Empress of the Great Chu royalty, there were many things that she had to handle personally. She could not let others handle them.
However, there were many things that even as the Empress, she did not know how to deal with.
After hesitating for a moment, Chu Wuyi said, "Father, regarding the punishment of the Baili family, what do you think …"
Chu Xingyun frowned and said, "So what if it's the Baili family? I established the law a hundred years ago. The only thing you have to do is to enforce it strictly and punish those who break the law. "
But … But Uncle Kuang Sheng …
Chu Wuyi still could not make up his mind in the face of Chu Xingyun's words.
With a sigh, Chu Xingyun said, "I cannot disregard the common people of the world because of my personal preferences. Compared to the billions of people of the world, personal honor and disgrace are insignificant. If you can't even understand this point, then you should really reflect on it."
"This rebellion cannot be lenient. According to the law, the punishment should be meted out. If we blindly tolerate it, then wouldn't we be encouraging those ambitious people?"
Chu Xingyun said in a deep voice.
Clenching his fists tightly, Chu Wu Yi said, "But Uncle Kuang Sheng is your best brother after all. If I were to be too cruel to him, what would the world think of us?"
Chu Xingyun shook his head and said, "This world belongs to the people of this world. It's not my world alone. Therefore … the Baili Clan's rebellion has violated the interests of the people of this world. How can it be tolerated just because of my likes and dislikes?"
As for how the world sees me, that is not important. As long as I have a clear conscience, that is enough.
With that, Chu Xingyun didn't stay any longer. He took a step forward and disappeared into the void.
With Chu Xingyun's departure, the space that had been suppressed instantly recovered. Everyone who had been frozen in place finally regained their ability to move.
Looking fearfully at the spot where the thirty thousand Blood Sword Guards had disappeared, and then at the spot where Chu Xingyun had been standing. Baili Sha Sheng took two steps forward and with a plop, he knelt in front of Chu Wu Yi.
He kowtowed as if he was pounding garlic. Baili Sha Sheng said, "Your humble servant has been possessed and committed such a grave mistake. Your Majesty, please consider the Baili Clan's many years of service to the Great Chu royalty and forgive …"
Chu Wu Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head. He said, "Wu Yi is not a bloodthirsty person, but you have committed the crime of rebellion. How can I be lenient with you?"
Hearing Chu Wu Yi's words, Baili Sha Sheng was scared out of his wits. He kept kowtowing to the ground. After a few kowtows, the ground was already stained red with his blood.
Seeing this scene, Chu Wu Yi also couldn't bear it, but she also knew that her father was right.
Chu Wu Yi wasn't stupid. As Chu Xingyun's daughter, although she was very kind, her intelligence wasn't low.
With just a little analysis, she was already certain that her father's opinion was the most correct and couldn't be changed.
If she let the Baili Clan off easily this time, it would be equivalent to giving those ambitious people a reassurance.
If the price of rebellion was so low, why not give it a try?
After all, even if they failed, they would at most kowtow a few times and beg a few times.
In any case, Chu Wu Yi was kind-hearted and wouldn't punish them severely. Why not?
But this time, she was lucky that her father had rushed back in time.
Otherwise, who knew how many soldiers and civilians would have died in the chaos of the Empire.
Just as her father said, as the Empress of the Great Chu, she had to consider all the people of the Great Chu. She couldn't just ignore the interests of the people because of her own preferences.
If killing one person could save the world, then should this person be killed?
Chu Wu Yi thought for a moment and gave the answer.
If one person had to die to save the world, then even if the person had to die was her, Chu Wu Yi, she would still sacrifice herself for justice.
Indulging in evil and indulging in evil were the same thing.
In order to deter those ambitious people and prevent hundreds of millions of people from dying in the flames of war in the future, she had no choice but to kill Baili Kuangsheng even if it had been her own brother who had rebelled.
Some mistakes could be made, but crimes like rebellion couldn't be pardoned no matter what.
Just as her father had said, if she couldn't even understand this point, then she wouldn't be worthy of being the Empress of the Great Chu royalty. Because … she didn't care about the people of the world.
Chu Wu Yi took a deep breath and said with a solemn expression, "Pass down my orders. Capture all the members of the Baili Clan. Those who participated in the rebellion will be beheaded. Those who didn't participate in the rebellion will be sent to the abandoned land!"
Chu Wu Yi turned his head and looked at the group of ashen-faced ministers on the steps as he spoke, "As for you, you were silent in the face of the rebellion. You didn't even dare to make a sound. What use do I have for you?"
In the face of Chu Wu Yi's rebuke, all the ministers lowered their heads in shame. They couldn't say a word.
Chu Wu Yi snorted coldly and said, "First, you will be investigated. If you participated in the rebellion, you will be killed without mercy! Your family members will also be sent to the Land of Forsaken. "
Plop … plop …
In the face of Chu Wu Yi's words, some of the ministers only trembled. Some of the ministers' legs went soft and they fell to the ground.
The abandoned land was famous for being a place of death.
Although Chu Xingyun had already taken away the Darkness Mysterious Crystal a hundred years ago, the Darkness Mysterious Crystal was still there.
But under the influence of the Mysterious Darkness Crystal for thousands of years, the abandoned land had become a wasteland.
The spiritual energy there had dried up and it was impossible to cultivate. Moreover … if one lived there for a long time, their spiritual energy would be devoured and they would lose their ability to reproduce.
Therefore, all the families that had been sent there would be completely extinct in a few years. Their bloodline would no longer exist in this world.
They wanted to beg for mercy, but as Chu Wu Yi had said, this was a serious crime of rebellion. How could they be forgiven?
Today, Chu Wu Yi had easily pardoned the Baili Clan's crimes. Tomorrow … heroes from all over the world would rise up and millions of people would fall into fire and water.
