Chapter 1370 - 1361: Betrayal
"Roar!"
At this moment, a dragon’s roar echoed.
Qin Wudao looked up and saw the Fortune Spirit Dragon devouring all the forces of fortune, riding the clouds and mist, weaving through the mysterious universe, bringing down one fortune after another.
The fortune he most anticipated had arrived!
Fortune!
This is probably the creation that all forces in the endless universe most eagerly anticipate!
Because it is not aimed at one person, but is a blessing to one side of a force, allowing countless beings to gain the opportunity to defy fate.
The Qin Dynasty is no exception.
Pushing forward over nine hundred years, counting the history of the Qin Dynasty’s development, every leap in strength often comes with fortune, inseparable.
This is key to the Qin Dynasty advancing to a level-four civilization within a millennium.
Boom!
As waves of fortune descended,
the entire mysterious universe began to undergo earth-shattering changes, with many small worlds advancing to middle worlds, and many middle worlds advancing to large worlds.
Among the three thousand great worlds, several dozen worlds advanced to origin worlds...
Within each major world, thick Spiritual Energy floated, accumulating in the sky to form heavy clouds, pouring down a Spiritual Energy rain on mountains, plains, and cities...
Spring rain nourishes the vast land!
Not to mention Spiritual Energy rain?
Each celestial plant began to shine brilliantly, transforming into a divine object with heaven-defying effects.
Ordinary rivers shimmered with Spiritual Energy and treasure light; even Saint Realm martial artists could benefit greatly if they drank from them long-term.
Grand and imposing celestial mountains transformed into energy mountains, enveloped by pure energy, ideal for martial artists in the rule domain to train, unmatched in the Tianhe universe...
"Fortune!"
"This is the legendary fortune, everyone, quick, start cultivating!"
On a certain great world, an old man with white hair and beard witnessed the environmental changes around him, his spirit lifted, his face flushed with excitement as he shouted.
This old man was a person of status, surrounded by many martial artists who, upon hearing his words, showed a gleam in their eyes, regardless of where they were, hurriedly went into seclusion to cultivate.
For the elders of the Qin Dynasty, fortune might be commonplace, but not for them!
After all, not everyone, like the Qin Dynasty, advances every few years.
Many great worlds have existed for tens of billions of years and have only triggered a few fortunes, which results in most beings in the mysterious universe never having experienced fortune.
"Last time fortune arrived, I broke through to the Immortal Peak; this time, I must use fortune to break through to the Pre-Saint Realm!"
"Seclude! Breakthrough the realm!"
The martial artists across all worlds shouted excitedly, began to seclude themselves to cultivate.
"Transmit the order for the Great Wall to open; no entry or exit until the fortune ends!"
"All citizens of the Qin Dynasty may seclude themselves to cultivate!"
On the altar, Qin Wudao sensed the great change in heaven and earth and commanded with authority.
This order was primarily directed at the border soldiers.
"Yes, sir!"
On the Great Wall, countless soldiers dressed in armor, holding sharp weapons, saluted in the direction of all worlds, sitting cross-legged on the spot to begin training.
Seeing this, Qin Wudao nodded with satisfaction and flew into the Endless Palace with his civil and military officials.
Soon.
The mysterious universe quieted down.
Including Qin Wudao, all martial artists began to cultivate, condensing Spiritual Energy vortexes above their heads, exuding terrifying auras, shaking all directions.
...
In a certain universe.
The starry sky tore open.
A man with a towering figure, dressed in a black robe, walked out from the space rift, surveying all around, with endless blood and killing intent flowing in his eyes.
This person is Lin Protector!
"Finally found it!"
Suddenly, Lin Protector looked to the left side of the starry sky, his mouth upticking, tearing the void again and disappearing.
In the distant starfield, a battle ship, draped with gold treasure flags, sped by. The Immortal Guard Commander stood at the ship’s bow, as if sensing something, his brow furrowed.
"Halt the ship!"
The Immortal Guard Commander waved his hand and commanded with authority.
The warship stopped.
The Immortal Guard Commander turned, stared ahead for a while, cupped his hands, and saluted, "Greetings, Protector!"
Protector!
Behind him, fifty Immortal Guard soldiers were stunned, and then showed respect, kneeling to salute.
"Mu Zhen, do you acknowledge your guilt?"
A thousand miles away, Lin Protector asked calmly with folded hands behind his back.
"What crime have I committed?"
The Immortal Guard Commander’s heart sank, he stood up and asked.
"Still defiant at death’s door, let me tell you clearly, you first defied the Star Sea Pavilion Master’s orders, then framed your colleague Yang Fan, lastly helping the enemy of the Immortal Treasure Pavilion!"
"Just one of these charges could doom you to death a thousand times!"
Lin Protector’s voice grew cold as he shouted, "Sinner Mu Zhen, do you acknowledge your guilt?"
Acknowledge guilt!
Acknowledge guilt!
Acknowledge guilt!
His voice was so loud, it produced echoes as if billions of gods roared simultaneously, the divine sound shook the world, reverberated across the starfield, destroying a vast starry sky.
"If you want to accuse someone, why not find a reason?"
The Immortal Guard Commander’s expression changed dramatically, speaking in a cold voice.
He now could be certain that Lin Protector was from the side of Lin Pavilion Master.
"Still want to quibble?"
Lin Protector’s face darkened, he addressed the fifty Immortal Guard soldiers, "What about you? Do you wish to continue resisting the Immortal Treasure Pavilion with sinner Mu Zhen, or admit guilt and lessen your punishment?"
"This..."
The fifty Immortal Guard soldiers showed hesitation.
What should they do?
How should they choose?
If they do not admit guilt, they will offend a powerful Protector.
But if they admit guilt, they feel uneasy inside because Mu Zhen is correct, and Lin Pavilion Master is wrong.
"I am willing to admit guilt!"
Before long, an Immortal Guard soldier knelt on the ground, his face blushing with shame as he spoke.
He chose to admit guilt!
Because he dared not offend Lin Protector.
"I am also willing to admit guilt!"
"Lin Protector, I am willing to testify against all of Mu Zhen’s crimes!"
With a leader, the other Immortal Guard soldiers quickly kneeled, betraying the Immortal Guard Commander Mu Zhen.
Conscience is important.
But compared to their lives, it seems trivial.
Obviously, none of them believed Mu Zhen could defeat Lin Protector because Lin Protector was a martial artist at the peak of the Creation Realm, while their commander was only in the middle of the Creation Realm.
The gap is really too large!
In addition,
A Protector inherently holds the authority to enforce the law.
If Lin Protector believes Mu Zhen is guilty, then he must be guilty.
"You... you all..."
The Immortal Guard Commander turned his head, pointing at his treacherous subordinates, trembling uncontrollably, his eyes burning with anger, mixed with sorrow and sadness.
"Commander, admit your guilt!"
One Immortal Guard soldier said.
His voice was not loud, yet it was like sharp blades piercing the heart of the Immortal Guard Commander, causing pain so severe he could hardly breathe.
"Deputy Commander Yang Fan and over forty brothers were all killed by you!"
"You need to take responsibility for the deceased brothers!"
"Lin Pavilion Master is not wrong; the Qin Dynasty killed the Pavilion Master of Xuan City’s Immortal Treasure Pavilion, which is a capital crime, they deserve elimination..."
The other Immortal Treasure Pavilion soldiers agreed sharply, their cold eyes seemed to regard him as an enemy who killed their father, not their former superior.
The human heart is just that realistic!
When you are weak, you will be trampled by countless people.
