141: Entrapment is going against the will of the people.
"[Your general has killed one Heavenly God Realm official, tyrant points +3 million!]
[Your general has killed one True God Realm official, tyrant points +300,000!]"
Fiercely Vicious and Wild Dancing Mad Blade wasted no words, activating their life-bound artifacts and unleashing their strongest combat techniques, instantly suppressing and killing Marquis Zhenmo and his faction.
When the giant dragon tooth swept across, a True God beside Marquis Zhenmo, whose reaction was slightly slower, didn't even have time to cry out before being caught in the disaster and perishing on the spot.
Wild Dancing Mad Blade's sharp Saber Qi, carrying a mist of blood, stirred up a storm that swept all the remaining bones, shattered fragments, and the smell of blood out of the main hall.
The two Hades generals struck with lightning speed, slaying seven Heavenly Gods and one True God.
The tyrant points increased by a total of 21.3 million!
"Your Majesty!"
The two Hades generals, who had just been so ferocious, retracted their life-bound artifacts, their attitudes respectful, and turned to bow respectfully to Xia Xuan.
"We, your subjects, respectfully welcome the return of Your Majesty, the Spirit Emperor!"
"May Your Majesty live as long as Heaven and be eternally indestructible!"
Inside the court hall, all the officials trembled as they offered their congratulations, each burying their heads low, not daring to meet the gaze from the Imperial Throne.
The nominal Emperor of Mystic Spirit, the little girl carved from pink jade, also nervously jumped down from the Imperial Throne and bowed her head.
"Your subject, during his regency, failed to uphold the great cause of Mystic Spirit, leading to the fragmentation of the territory, the Great Qian Imperial Dynasty and the Heavenly Maiden Imperial Dynasty declaring independence, and the vassal states falling into chaos... The deified officials granted titles brought disaster upon the common people, leaving them in destitution... Your subject deserves ten thousand deaths!"
Grand Chancellor Su pleaded guilty with sorrow, scattering his protective literary Qi, his forehead bleeding and his vision blurred by blood and tears.
After confessing his crimes, he looked up again, gazing at the majestic figure before the Imperial Throne, and spoke with difficulty:
"Before your subject dies, he has but one wish: to ask Your Majesty why he abandoned Mystic Spirit all these years!"
Grand Chancellor Su's audacious questioning made the bodies of the other kneeling officials tremble.
The entire court of treacherous officials fell silent, as if struck dumb.
"How dare you, you rebellious official, presume to question His Majesty!"
The old clan head of the Dugu family, who had just been thinking about how to empty the Imperial Dynasty's coffers, changed his expression quickly, adopting the loyal appearance of one willing to die for his ruler, and angrily rebuked Grand Chancellor Su.
"His Majesty must have His Majesty's plans for doing this; it's not for an official like you to question in the hall!"
Prince Jin also transformed from a man-eating greedy wolf into a wagging domestic dog, and after cursing, he spoke cautiously, pleading for himself:
"I beg Your Majesty to forgive your subject for his presumptuous words in the hall earlier; your subject truly had no choice!"
"Since the Great Qian and the Daughter Kingdom declared independence, the Imperial Dynasty has been in turmoil, and the feudal lords have rebelled!"
"As the head of the feudal lords, your subject must bear the heavy responsibility of restoring the nation. For this... your subject was even willing to become a pawn of the Five Great Sacred Lands, using their power to balance the various feudal lords and extend the Imperial Dynasty's lifespan!"
Prince Jin cried so sincerely that he almost dug out his heart and liver to prove his innocence.
His hypocritical demeanor sent shivers down the spine of the Dugu family head beside him, as if he had forgotten that he was the one who started it.
The other officials, worried about their own safety, also brought out their skills, imitating him in a convincing manner, lamenting their crimes against the Imperial Dynasty and how they were forced by various forces, as well as the difficult history of enduring humiliation and heavy burdens.
In short, all the blame was completely cleared; they were forced, just waiting for the day the Spirit Emperor returned to witness the Imperial Dynasty's resurgence!
"All of you... deserve to die!"
A voice as clear as a silver bell echoed beside the Imperial Throne.
Hearing this, the officials broke out in a cold sweat, feeling like daggers were at their backs, and cautiously raised their eyes to peek.
Even the child emperor, not yet ten years old, could see through their pretense; how could the Spirit Emperor be so muddled as to let them off?
"Your subject deserves to die, your subject deserves to die! I beg Your Majesty to execute my entire family!"
"Your subject... your subject also deserves to die..."
In the Divine Punishment Heavenly Prison, the tortures for gods were a hundred or even a thousand times more terrifying than beheading.
Crushing bones and sucking marrow, death by a thousand cuts, flaying, pulling out tendons, lighting the Divine Soul as a lamp... these were the lighter ones.
They would rather be decisively executed than be captured and thrown into the Divine Punishment Heavenly Prison, where they could neither live nor die.
It was said that the residual Souls of Marquis Zhenmo and the others were imprisoned by the Dragon Suppressing Guards and would likely be refined into Divine Soul elixirs, cut off a section, grow another, to feed dragon beasts until their consciousness collapsed and their Divine Soul dissipated.
"Your Majesty, I am truly innocent! These treacherous officials are all exposed and deserve to die, all of them!"
Prince Jin was terrified; he would rather die than admit it.
"Court dismissed!"
Xia Xuan, having assimilated most of his memories, waved his sleeve, his attitude indifferent, as if he didn't take their crimes to heart at all.
"Ah?"
The officials were stunned.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Prince Jin was the first to react, his sorrow turning to joy.
However, seeing that no one else dared to move, he became somewhat suspicious.
Could the Spirit Emperor be waiting to see who left first, then condemn them all for treason and throw them into the Heavenly Prison?
"Still not leaving? Do you want Us to personally invite each of you out?"
Xia Xuan raised an eyebrow.
"Hmm?"
Fiercely Vicious brandished his giant dragon tooth, his expression unfriendly as he scanned the officials.
"We, your subjects, take our leave!"
An official, unable to bear the pressure in the hall, stepped out of the court hall. The scenario Prince Jin had imagined did not happen, and everyone else also breathed a sigh of relief, successively leaving the court... Mystic Spirit Imperial Garden.
Xia Xuan strolled leisurely, admiring the beautiful scenery of the Imperial Garden, built to resemble a Heavenly Court.
"Why didn't the Spirit Ancestor capture all those rebellious officials and traitors in one fell swoop?"
The tiny Ye Linglu followed closely behind him, asking.
Xia Xuan turned to look at this junior, who resembled a porcelain doll, and chuckled, asking in return:
"If all these rebellious officials and traitors were killed, how would we draw out their backers?"
He paused, then continued: "They are merely pawns, after all. Instead of slowly picking them out, I prefer to uproot them completely.
However, if these people are sensible, they might not necessarily have to die. In the future, they would make excellent cannon fodder for attacking the Great Qian and the Heavenly Maiden Imperial Dynasty."
"The Spirit Ancestor is right!" Ye Linglu nodded like a pecking chick.
Finding a pavilion, Xia Xuan sat down casually and checked the balance of his System tyrant points.
Nearly a billion!
Enough to exchange for at least three Divine Lord Realm Mythical Heroic Spirits!
'The Mystic Spirit Continent has an immeasurable vast territory. Only exchanging for top-tier combat power won't allow me to control the overall situation, so I might as well...'
With a thought, he spent 330 million tyrant points to summon all the remaining eleven barbarian generals.
He then spent another 300 million tyrant points to exchange for the Hades Grand Marshal, Defying Heaven!
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Defying Heaven and the thirteen Hades generals respectfully bowed.
