Supreme Sword God

Shi Fengchun was taken aback, flustered, "Elder Luo, what a coincidence!"

Luo Jianren’s expression was grim; he initially thought of killing Ye Chen and Shi Fengchun on the spot, as they had trespassed in the archive, an act worthy of punishment.

But after overhearing the conversation between Ye Chen and Shi Fengchun, he changed his mind.

The archive data was just corroborative evidence; Ye Chen and Shi Fengchun held more crucial proof.

To eliminate future troubles, all that evidence must be destroyed!

"Shi Fengchun, Ye Chen, the two of you have a lot of nerve!" Luo Jianren shouted angrily, "Without my permission, you sneaked into the archive; just that alone, I could kill you on the spot, and it wouldn’t be excessive!"

Ye Chen sneered, saying, "You’re Luo Jianren? Why beat around the bush if you want to kill me; just come at me, for when I’m dead, your secret of selling out the Black Armor Army will soon be exposed!"

"Nonsense!" Luo Jianren roared, "The extermination of the Black Armor Army has nothing to do with me. A boy like you, do you think anyone will believe your so-called evidence!"

Shi Fengchun replied, "Fine, we admit defeat at your hands; if you let us go, we’ll destroy the evidence, and we’ll all be at peace!"

"I’m not interested in your so-called evidence, don’t use such baseless things to threaten me!" Luo Jianren scoffed coldly.

Ye Chen said, "We all know what’s going on; you don’t need to pretend. If you weren’t apprehensive, you would have acted already, right? Pretending further is meaningless now!"

Luo Jianren fell silent.

Ye Chen continued, "Luo Jianren, if I die, the evidence will immediately be known to all, and you won’t be able to silence it; everything you have will be ruined.

Now, let me go, and I’ll take you to destroy the evidence. I can swear there are absolutely no backups; if I ever reveal a word, may I die a horrible death, struck by lightning!

Of course, you would also need to swear that after the evidence is destroyed, you won’t come after me for previous grievances, and we’ll be clear, how about it?"

Shi Fengchun added, "It’s a win-win situation, Luo Jianren. If you don’t agree, it’ll be a fight to the death!"

"Did you discuss this with Qiao the Sixth?"

"No!" Shi Fengchun immediately denied it, "My uncle only agreed to help us sneak into the archive after I wore him down with persuasion. If you don’t believe me, I can swear; if there’s a hint of falsehood, may I perish instantly!"

Anyway, his body was already filled with death energy, he wasn’t afraid!

Luo Jianren’s expression was grim, and he nodded.

Then, Ye Chen made his vow.

"Today, Luo Jianren lets me leave, and our grievances are settled. I will destroy all evidence of him selling out the Black Armor Army and never mention it to anyone. If I break this vow, may I die a horrible death, struck by lightning!"

Shi Fengchun also followed suit, swearing at the cost of his vitality.

Luo Jianren said, "As long as you destroy all evidence related to the Black Armor Army’s demise, I’ll never trouble the two of you again!"

Ye Chen grinned.

That’s about it!

"This archive data isn’t convenient to destroy, right..." Shi Fengchun queried.

"Where’s the problem, tell me, I’ll amend the archives myself!" Luo Jianren snapped, impatiently snatching away the files Ye Chen was holding.

Ye Chen said, "There are actually many details that have issues; of course, these aren’t apparent at first glance, they need to be matched with our other set of evidence.

And it’s not just this archive; several other files have similar issues. Since we’ve agreed, I’ll help you bring those out and settle everything at once."

"Immediately go!" Luo Jianren shouted angrily.

Ye Chen said, "Brother Chun, come and help me look."

Shi Fengchun followed.

The two moved to the archive area, and the next moment, Shi Fengchun’s power exploded, taking Ye Chen far from the archive, away from Luo Jianren!

"Stop!"

Luo Jianren roared, Emperor Realm’s might burst out, his terrifying power crushing towards Shi Fengchun and Ye Chen.

Just then.

An unseen force suddenly appeared, instantly dispersing Luo Jianren’s power.

"Luo Jianren... so it was really you!"

In a powerful shout, the entire archive was illuminated by a radiant light.

Lingxiao’s figure appeared in Luo Jianren’s sight.

Moreover, within Lingxiao’s domain was a number of seasoned elders and a group of True Martial Hall’s authorities!

Among them, some were old Black Armor Army warriors.

Some were descendants of the heroes who died in battle from the Black Armor Army.

Each one of them looked at Luo Jianren with boundless wrath, as if wanting to tear him to pieces!

"The Black Armor Army battled tirelessly for the Eastern Domain Human Race, building walls of flesh and blood, preventing invaders from setting foot in the Eastern Domain. It was you who killed my comrades, and you who killed Grand General Shen!"

"Luo Jianren, back then, you were the Seventh Elder, trapped in enemy territory; Grand General Shen led the Black Armor Army warriors, fighting countless days and nights to rescue you, yet you repay kindness with betrayal, condemning the Black Armor Army soldiers to death. Do you have any conscience!"

"We ask the Grand Hall Master to issue an order and give justice to the heroes of the Black Armor Army!

A chorus of indignant shouts rang out.

Luo Jianren was dumbfounded, his mind blank and helpless.

Shi Fengchun brought Ye Chen to Lingxiao’s side.

"Shi Fengchun, Ye Chen, you tricked me!"

Luo Jianren now, finally realized.

Reflecting back, Ye Chen and Shi Fengchun’s plan was filled with flaws.

But he was too nervous to take notice... leading him step by step into the trap.

"You didn’t have any evidence, right! From the start, you were just luring me to confess!" Luo Jianren’s face twisted in madness.

Shi Fengchun smiled faintly, saying, "It’s something you did. Even if we don’t have evidence now, the truth will come out one day. Ye Chen and I just revealed the truth earlier."

"Justice may be late, but it never fails to arrive!" Ye Chen shouted fervently, a Black Armor Token appeared in his hand. He held the token and handed it to Lingxiao, "Grand Hall Master, please deal with him."

The people around Lingxiao, upon seeing the token, burst into tears!

Lingxiao took a deep breath, received the Black Armor Token, and shouted, "Luo Jianren, selling out the Black Armor Army, condemning them to death, the evidence is conclusive. He is stripped of his position as Second Hall Master, his cultivation abolished, and he is to be executed at the execution ground tomorrow, as a blood sacrifice to soothe the immortal warrior spirits!"

The loud voice echoed from the archive, resounding throughout East Desolate City!

"No, I can’t die, no one can let me die!" Luo Jianren screamed in madness, his Emperor Realm power erupted unreservedly, turning to flee.

Lingxiao was about to strike.

But at the next moment, a terrifying force suddenly appeared, striking Luo Jianren’s domain with a bang.

Luo Jianren’s domain burst like a bubble, his body issuing a scream as it crashed to the ground.

"Luo Jianren, you disappoint me greatly!" A hoarse voice sounded, followed by an elderly man with white hair, holding a cane, slowly walked into everyone’s sight!
