Military Tribunal

A casual strike from a Martial Saint completely annihilated the vast Chu Family.

This once again made everyone clearly understand the power of a Martial Saint.

Lin Xiao looked at the Chu Family, which had been razed to the ground.

Regardless, at least this hidden danger has been uprooted today.

The two Martial Saints had already left, and the oppressive atmosphere disappeared.

The ten Martial Venerables who had been invited now cupped their fists slightly towards Ye Bufan. Since things had come to this, there was no point in them staying.

As for Lin Xiao...

They hesitated, but ultimately did not step forward, simply disappearing from the spot.

Perhaps in their hearts, Lin Xiao, who had offended a Martial Saint, was no longer worth their effort to build a good relationship.

The complexity of human nature was initially revealed at this moment.

Ye Bufan did not leave like the others. He quietly walked to Lin Xiao's side.

"Brother Lin Xiao, are you alright!"

His voice was like a gentle breeze, soft beside his ear.

Lin Xiao shook his head.

"Elder Brother Ye, this time I've implicated you..."

Lin Xiao knew that in this world where martial force reigned supreme, strength would always come first.

And Ye Bufan's actions today might bring unimaginable consequences to him and his Family at some point in the future.

Never doubt the influence of a Martial Saint.

After hundreds of years of accumulation in Dragon Country, Martial Saints were also rare existences.

He didn't care about himself.

So what if he was a Martial Saint?

If they touched his bottom line, he would kill the Martial Saint without hesitation!

"Elder Brother Ye, let me ask you something."

"What is it?"

"What is the Military Tribunal that the two Martial Saints just mentioned?"

Lin Xiao calmly looked at the horizon. The sky was a bit dim, with the sunlight obscured, and the people below couldn't see a trace of brightness.

Ye Bufan naturally knew what the Military Tribunal was.

His expression was somewhat solemn.

"The Military Tribunal can be considered the highest-level trial in Dragon Country."

"Only a Martial Saint is qualified to open a Military Tribunal. This is a court used to judge those who have committed heinous crimes."

"The crimes committed by the person being judged will be made public and scorned by the entire Dragon Country."

"At the same time, the highest committee of the Military Tribunal will hand down punishment. Light punishments mean eternal imprisonment, while severe punishments mean death and the dissipation of one's Dao!"

The more Ye Bufan spoke, the heavier his tone became. The Military Tribunal had only appeared a few times in Dragon Country's history.

He hadn't expected that merely destroying a Chu Family would lead to such a great calamity!

What wrong had Lin Xiao committed?

Was it just because he had contradicted that Martial Saint?

Lin Xiao nodded gently.

He felt a bit self-deprecating, that he had been too complacent for the past six months, and the people he met were all very friendly.

This made him less cautious than he had been initially.

Or perhaps his strength had increased too quickly, making him a bit arrogant, and he had forgotten that this world was ultimately about strength!

Was Lin Xiao wrong in this matter?

No.

For a Family like the Chu Family, not annihilating their nine generations was already a great act of mercy.

But the mistake lay in him not clashing with a Martial Saint, not making a Martial Saint lose Face in public.

This was his biggest mistake.

Lin Xiao didn't blame anyone. He just lowered his head and looked at his hands.

Ultimately, his strength was inferior!

"System!"

"Ding, Host, I'm here!"

"Can I ask a question?"

"Host, please ask. this system brother is happy today and can help Host solve problems for free!"

"Do you think Martial Saints are strong?"

"Ding, Host already has the answer to this question in his heart."

Lin Xiao smiled.

He smiled a bit wildly.

Perhaps he had never changed!

What Martial Saint? In his eyes, they were nothing!

If I respect you, I will call you Senior. If I don't respect you, what can even Heaven do to him?

"Buzz!"

A miraculous change occurred from within.

Lin Xiao instantly became incomparably open-minded and clear-headed.

The terrifying shadow of the Martial Saint that had originally enveloped his heart disappeared.

At this moment, he was like a spring breeze transforming a cocoon, completely recognizing himself!

Lin Xiao had always been the kind of person who feared nothing.

If others didn't offend him, he wouldn't offend them. If others offended him, he would definitely annihilate their nine generations!

What Martial Saint? Lin Xiao had his own soaring ambition in his heart.

Ye Bufan, who was beside him, saw Lin Xiao's silence, and his heart felt a bit sad.

What an excellent young man, originally destined to be a peerless figure standing at the Peak, how could he end up in such a situation!

Clearly, even he felt that once he went to the Military Tribunal, Lin Xiao's future was already bleak.

Perhaps even a cross-generational Prodigy would fall here.

Like a comet, though it shone brightly across the world, it was but a fleeting moment!

"Elder Brother Ye, let's go."

Lin Xiao calmed down. Since things had come to this, he would take it one step at a time. At worst, he would flip the table!

"Oh, okay."

Originally, Ye Bufan had planned to invite Lin Xiao to the Ye Clan for a cup of tea, but Lin Xiao refused.

At this time, he couldn't let the Ye Family get too close to him, but he remembered Elder Brother Ye's kindness in his heart.

He arrived alone at his large villa.

He prepared a bathtub full of milk bath for himself and took a comfortable bath.

Comfortable!

During this time, no one disturbed him, and he simply fell asleep in the bathtub.

The next day.

Lin Xiao received a summons.

A summons from the Highest Military Tribunal, ordering suspect Lin Xiao to appear at the Highest Military Tribunal on time tomorrow to receive judgment!

Lin Xiao was expressionless. He casually threw the summons, which symbolized the Peak of power, onto the floor and continued to soak in his milk bath.

He found that soaking in this milk bath was truly comfortable!

His skin had even been rejuvenated, becoming much whiter and tenderer.

The next day.

Lin Xiao tidied his appearance and put on his Major General's uniform.

Looking at himself in the mirror, his strong and tall physique and outstanding appearance somewhat overshadowed the shining red star on his shoulder.

"If I had been like this in my previous life, my days would have been very carefree!"

He laughed heartily, without any nervousness, and rushed out the door to the Highest Military Tribunal.

Imperial Capital.

Military Tribunal.

This place was usually very quiet, with not many people, except for a very small number of security personnel maintaining order.

But today, the entire hall was full of people.

There were even troops stationed outside the venue, and the scene was very grand.

Two seats were specially placed at the very top of the hall, above the judges.

"The Highest Military Tribunal officially begins!"

"Bring suspect Lin Xiao into the hall!"

The deep voice lingered for a long time. No one who could sit here today was simple; in terms of strength alone, they were at least at the Martial King level.

The Highest Adjudicator of the Military Tribunal was an eighth-grade Martial Venerable Rank expert, Min Changshou, with the rank of General.

The large door opened.

A young man walked step by step towards the center amidst everyone's gaze.

The young figure and the clothes he wore seemed a bit out of place, but the young man's upright posture made many people nod slightly.

As soon as Lin Xiao appeared,

the two Martial Saints also appeared at the highest position, Yin Changkong and Jun Buhui.

Looking at the surrounding scene,

Lin Xiao felt a bit emotional. This was his first time participating in such a high-level assembly. Even if he was the suspect, it could be considered quite impressive... He looked slightly at the two Martial Saints at the highest position.

Yin Changkong also looked at the young man.

To be honest, he didn't care about the young man's life or death; he only cared about his own Face, his own dignity!

"Begin!"

The scene instantly became extremely solemn.

The Adjudicator committee listed Lin Xiao's transgressions one by one.

Things like running red lights, disturbing social order, everything that violated Dragon Country's regulations was listed.

Many people frowned upon hearing this.

But this was just the prelude, a setup.

When it was mentioned that Lin Xiao had abused his authority without authorization, forcefully leading ten Martial Venerable experts to carry out a large-scale massacre in the Imperial Capital,

everyone finally understood.

"Lin Xiao, do you admit your guilt!"

The Adjudicator shouted, his gaze extremely sharp, his voice terrifying.

"May I ask the Adjudicator, what crime has Lin Xiao committed?"

Lin Xiao showed no fear. He stood tall and straight, looking directly ahead.

"You, in your capacity as a Major General, rallied ten Martial Venerable experts to follow you to the Chu Family and destroy their Family, is this true?"

"Adjudicator, I did not rally them in my capacity as a Major General! I reached a reasonable transaction with them at an exorbitant price. Is this also a crime?"

"Lin Xiao, you come from a humble background, and your cultivation is only at the sixth-grade. How do you possess such great wealth to hire ten Martial Venerables? The Military Tribunal will not tolerate your reckless words, otherwise, you will be charged with another crime of deception and concealment!"

Lin Xiao shook his head.

He pulled out three jade bottles from his spatial storage.

"Adjudicator, these are three eighth-grade elixirs, personally refined by me, and they were the reward provided for completing this transaction!"

This scene made many people's eyes light up. Some of them had specifically investigated the ins and outs, but some fantastical elements made them doubt its authenticity.

And Lin Xiao's action was precisely to demonstrate his value to everyone present!

Lin Xiao could refine eighth-grade elixirs!

Although eighth-grade elixirs were useless to a Martial Saint, they were not Martial Saints!

Yin Changkong, at the highest position, frowned slightly. He hadn't expected this young man to possess such talent.

After hearing many voices appear in the hall, he glanced faintly at Jun Buhui beside him.

"You said you have evidence to prove that the Chu Family secretly colluded with the Heavens Mandate Cult to harm you. Where is the evidence?"

As soon as the Martial Saint spoke, everyone immediately fell silent.

Lin Xiao looked expressionlessly at the condescending man.

"I have no evidence, so, Martial Saint, what do you intend to do?"

...
