Xuan Tian Continent, Great Wei Nation, Gao Miao Imperial Court.

At this moment, the great generals, ministers, lords of prominent families, and members of the royal family are all gathered here.

They stood on either side, looking down at the crowd of people.

This year, Ming Lin Chen, the head of the Lin clan, a prestigious military family in the State of Wei, was renowned for his exceptional talent among the younger generation!

At such a young age, he had already cultivated to the fourth realm, the Realm of Congealing Intent, breaking the record of the youngest Congealing Intent martial artist in the history of the entire Great Wei Kingdom!

Even the Qingxuan School planned to take this child as a disciple!

It is widely rumored that the Lin family will soon have another Grand Master!

Later, General Lin Lan, the tiger of Wei State, was severely wounded on the border and retreated to the capital to recover. As a son, Lin Chen took over for his father. At a young age, he led the Lin Family Army to six major victories on the border!

Martial arts shock the whole region!

<<>>>

To reward Lin Chen, the royal family even betrothed their most beloved princess to him!

The Lin family's glory is unparalleled at this time!

Who would have thought, just three days ago General Nian was at the peak of his fame in the empire. Today, he's imprisoned beneath the steps, his meridians severed, his cultivation completely nullified!

For he betrayed his country and conspired to overthrow the Great Wei Dynasty!

"Lin Chen, you have betrayed the country and colluded with the army of Wu State, intending to overthrow the Great Wei and establish yourself as king. Do you know your crime!" A loud shout echoed throughout the entire palace.

The owner of this voice.

Standing among the civil and military officials in the first row, right under the throne, one can see the immense power he wields as a high-ranking minister!

This man, awe-inspiring and imposing, exuded an aura of ironclad killing intent. He was none other than Zhao Wujue, one of the two supreme generals of the Empire!

The Zhao family is a renowned military clan of the Wei dynasty, having followed the founding emperor in establishing the empire.

Lin was nothing but a nouveau riche in front of him.

"Confess?" Lin Chen was interrupted, his bones broken and he knelt on the ground. His whole body was covered in pus, his voice hoarse. "Zhao Shuai, what do you think I should confess to?"

Zhao Wujī's divine voice was cold and emotionless, his tone low and harsh. "Betraying one's country is the greatest crime!"

"Treachery?" Lin Chen let out a "ha," spitting out a mouthful of saliva. He growled, "My Lin clan, our sons and grandsons, as soon as we are old enough, will go to the battlefield and fight for Great Wei!"

My elder brother, at sixteen joined the army, and died heroically on the battlefield at nineteen!

"My second brother, at sixteen he joined the army, and at eighteen... he was dismembered by three great generals of Wu!"

My third brother, at sixteen years old, was a soldier on the frontier. In his first battle, he faced ten times the number of enemies and fought bravely to the death, pierced by thousands of arrows!

"And my youngest brother, he's only fourteen. We wouldn't let him go to the battlefield, but when he heard our father was besieged, he disregarded the danger and rushed to his rescue. He died in the breakout."

He is only fourteen, fourteen!!

"Which one of you can do this? Which one has such casualties!"

But I, Lin, have no regrets. As a military general of the empire, a young man of passion, protecting my home and country is my duty. It is what one should do without hesitation or regret!

"Now, tell me, tell the world, that I, Lin, shall rebel! I shall ally with the sworn enemy of the sea, the State of Wu, to overthrow the Great Wei Dynasty!"

"Ridiculous!"

Lin Chen's roar echoed within the hall.

Many people have become gods.

Someone couldn't help themselves, gritting their teeth and wanting to step forward, speak up for Mrs. Lin!

Someone had red eyes, he was unwilling to see the loyalty of Lady Lin's family, in the end, they ended up like this!

How unfair!

But.

They were all stopped.

Elderly relatives and close friends, they held them tightly, not allowing them to utter a single word!

They could not bear it.

They don't believe it either!

But.

The tide has turned.

Lin Lan is seriously injured and has yet to recover. Lin Chen has been crippled and is now a useless person. The entire Lin clan, with the dead dead and the wounded wounded, is no longer capable of resisting!

The crime.

Have to shoulder it, even if I don't want to!

Because the decision is not made by Zhao Shuai alone.

But it was the Emperor of Great Wei, seated upon his throne, who commanded respect with just his presence!

It is he who wants the Lin family to be destroyed!

Zhao Shuai's expression remained as indifferent as ever, as if he hadn't heard Lin Chen's tearful roar at all.

He simply stated: "The Lin family has made contributions, which is undeniable, but this is merely what a subject should do. If the Great Wei Dynasty needs anything, wouldn't everyone else also follow suit without hesitation? There is no need to make a fuss about it."

"Hah, Zhao Shuai, don't you feel embarrassed saying that?" Lin Chen sneered, mocking him mercilessly.

The Zhao clan, also from a prominent military family of the Great Wei, rarely saw action on the battlefield these years. They avoided every major battle, only rushing forward when it came to receiving accolades and rewards.

"Dare to say so."

"One after another?"

"When will the reward be given?"

Zhao Shuai's eyes flashed with anger, and for a moment, the sound of Zhou Fenglei rang out. His overwhelming martial intent sent Lin Chen flying backward.

Lin Chen, is no longer angry.

Zhao Shuai let out a cold snort and continued, “You're guilty of treason. The evidence is irrefutable, you can't erase it with just a few words of excuse!”

"Now, Your Majesty remembers the merits of your Lin family and has not slaughtered your entire family. This is already showing leniency. What else are you dissatisfied with?"

“My Lin family has been loyal and righteous for generations. The one who is guilty is you, all of you!” Lin Chen spat with foam, gritting his teeth.

"Unrepentant!" Zhao Shuai's voice was icy cold. "Come, bring those rebels who participated in the treason before this general!"

Lin Chen, hearing this, had panic in his eyes for the first time.

He looked back.

It is a series of individual pictures.

They were all dressed in prison uniforms, united, he was his fighting brothers, soldiers who gave their hearts and souls for the country!

They should be at the borderlines killing enemies and defending their homes and country.

This isn't where it belongs!

"Let them go! Let them go! They are all loyal soldiers, they have dedicated everything to Great Wei!" Lin Chen roared.

"I, a traitorous son, have no loyalty! Kill him!" Zhao shouted loudly.

"No! All the blame is on me, let them go!" Lin Chen cried out, tears streaming down his face.

"Cool, I'd love to fight alongside you on the battlefield! Awesome! The only regret is that I pledged allegiance to the wrong side!"

To defend one's home and country until death, I have no regrets. To serve such a royal family with my life, I am not willing!

"Come on, attack! In eighteen years, I'll come and slaughter every last one of you pathetic royals!"

"Hey, you have to live! Live for us!"

One soldier after another, comrades, brothers in arms who faced life and death together.

With a series of separating sounds, the head fell to the ground.

"Ahhhhhhh!" Lin Chen roared, his grief palpable to anyone within earshot.

In the great hall, someone wept silently.

But, no one dared to speak.

"Those who participated in the rebellion, including the Lin clan's traitorous party, must also be killed!" Zhao Wuji said coldly.

"What?" Lin Chenshui blurred his eyes.

He saw his fellow clansmen being brought up, they were all elderly and disabled who had retired from the battlefield. They had lost their strength and could not fight on the battlefield, so they stayed at home to educate their younger generations.

They shouldn't die!

"No, kill me! I'll take all the blame, just let them go!" Lin Chen cried out, tears streaming down his face.

But.

The executioner was only cold.

Strike with a swift blade!

"Chen'er, you must live, you must survive!"

"Chen'er, my poor child, you have suffered so much…"

"Chen'er, you haven't done anything wrong. Don't blame yourself. You've lived a full life. Go down below and ask the ancestors of the Qin family if they are worthy of my Zhao family!!"

An old woman, haggard and filthy, hunched over, pointing at the lofty throne and roared with tears!

"Plop plop plop", a head rolled.

"Uncle, Aunt, … no, don't, don't ah ah!" Lin Chen wailed, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and fainted.

Outside, the sun was shining brightly, but inside this hall, there was an indescribable chill that made one shiver.

"This son shall be imprisoned in the Heavenly Jail. In three days' time, he will be beheaded at the Imperial Sacrifice Hall and displayed to the public as a warning to all! This sacrifice shall honor the souls of our great Wei!" Zhao Wuji's voice, devoid of emotion, echoed throughout the hall.

The prison cell was dark.

At this moment, at the very bottom, a young man is imprisoned.

It is Lin Chen.

His vitality has already ebbed away too much, and it is even doubtful that he will be able to last three days. He may die in prison.

But, how could I bear to die like this?!

"I refuse to accept this, I refuse to die like this! They will pay the price, with their own lives, as a tribute to the fallen souls!" Lin Chen roared in a gravelly voice.

But no matter how unwilling, it's so powerless.

Those people were merciless, colluding with the Wu nation's soldiers to push him to a desperate situation. Then they severed his meridian and crippled his dantian. His hands and feet were also broken.

He has been completely crippled in cultivation.

Even if I lived, what could it change? I'd still be a prisoner, forever unable to seek revenge!

"Boy, you're not willing to give up, are you?" A voice suddenly rang out in his mind.

is the sound of a person.

With a languid air.

It seems like they just woke up.
