C6827 Lingering Death!
C6827 Lingering Death!
However, now, Lu Haotian was going to offer sacrifices to the heavens and earth with the blood of treacherous people. This was undoubtedly an act that went against the rules of etiquette.
“Your Majesty is preparing to use the blood of all treacherous people to intimidate all those who are not loyal!”
Lu Yingjie was suddenly shocked.
He understood now. In the ancient times, the land of Kunlun was only a branch of the Great Qin Dynasty. Lu Haotian had ascended to the throne by force as a feudal lord, and he had already provoked the displeasure of many people.
Although these people did not dare to say anything in the open, they would definitely try to obstruct him in secret.
Lu Haotian was going to use a bloody method to let everyone know what the consequences were if they went against him.
“Drag all the treacherous people out!” the eunuch said in a deep voice.
On one side of the square, countless soldiers immediately made way. Countless people in prison uniforms, dragging heavy footcuffs, were brought to the square by whips.
“Are these not all members of the Zhong Family?”
“It’s not just the Zhong Family members. There are also the families of Black Mountain County and South Tomb County. They followed the Zhong Family and planned to overthrow the Lu Family’s rule. I never thought that they would end up like this.”
As one of the three great families in the Kunlun Secret Realm, the Zhong Family had members all over the place. Many people recognized the Zhong Family members.
Now, when they saw the Zhong Clan members, all of them were covered in dirt and their clothes were full of scars. Obviously, they had gone through a rather cruel torture in the prison, and many of them couldn’t help but tremble in their hearts.
“This is the consequence of going against the Lu Clan!”
At this moment, everyone felt an unprecedented fear in the depths of their hearts.
Especially when they saw some of the Zhong Clan members, whose arms and legs had been ruthlessly dug out and became incomplete. That kind of horror lingered in their hearts.
Many great scholars originally wanted to use this opportunity to attack Lu Haotian, but at this moment, they also halted their banners and ceased their drums, revealing panic. After all, no one could remain calm in the face of death.
“Father!”
Zhong Mengdie saw one of the prisoners being escorted, and her entire body trembled. She wanted to rush over, but He Weng, who was standing beside her, hurriedly pulled her back and covered her mouth.
“Young Miss, you must not be reckless! If we go over, we’ll just be like moths flying into the fire, and we won’t be able to play any role,” He Weng said anxiously.
Zhong Mengdie’s eyes were filled with tears. She stared at the person in the lead of the prisoners, and tears welled up in her eyes.
At this moment, Zhong Dabao held his head high and puffed out his chest. Although his body was covered in scars, his face was unyielding as he walked with his head held high and puffed out his chest, and he had a righteous and awe-inspiring appearance.
“It’s the Zhong Clan’s Great General, Zhong Dabao. Back then, he went against the Dragon City’s King and was sent to a remote place to guard the pasture. He was already seen as a thorn in the King’s side, and now that the Zhong Clan has fallen, he will also be dealt with.”
Some people recognized Zhong Dazhou and whispered to each other.
All the prisoners were pulled to the square, and there were actually more than three hundred people standing together. The Lu Family cultivators beside them immediately brought over a group of wooden stakes and tied everyone to the wooden stakes.
All the members of the Zhong Family were sealed by the Fu Lu and their magic power. Now, they could only become lambs waiting to be slaughtered, without any strength to fight back.
"The traitors have arrived. Prepare to execute them!"
The eunuch revealed a sinister smile. "Your Majesty has decreed that all traitors will be executed by hanging!"
The surroundings immediately went into an uproar. Everyone revealed a shocked expression as they looked at the eunuch in disbelief.
Hanging was to use a knife to cut a thousand times on a person's body. This was an extremely cruel punishment. Only when dealing with the most serious criminals would it be used.
And these members of the Zhong Family, even if they were traitors, they had made great contributions to the Kunlun Secret Realm. They did not expect to be treated like this.
"No!" Zhong Mengdie's entire body trembled and she sobbed silently.
He Weng was also extremely conflicted. He was Zhong Dazhou's subordinate and had sworn his loyalty to him. However, if he rushed out, not only would he not be able to save everyone, he might even expose Zhong Mengdie.
"Alas —" Helpless, He Weng let out a long sigh.
"Miss, let's go."
It would be best not to let Zhong Mengdie see such a cruel scene.
At this moment, a group of executioners walked out. Behind them was a wooden box, and within it were instruments for execution. Many people felt a chill when they saw it.
When a new emperor ascended the throne, he would often show mercy and grant amnesty to the world.
However, Lu Hao Tian went the opposite way. He wanted to sacrifice himself to the heavens and the earth. Many people could already predict that under Lu Hao Tian’s rule, the entire Kunlun Mystic Realm would be dark and dark.
However, no one dared to stand out now. After all, the threat of death was right above their heads. No one dared to jump out and speak.
“Hold on!”
Suddenly, a loud voice sounded.
A young man in brocade clothes and a golden crown walked out. A group of soldiers rushed out and separated the two sides of the crowd.
Everyone was immersed in the fear of slaughter. No one expected that someone would actually dare to stand out at this moment. For a moment, countless gazes fell on the young man.
“Cui Yang!” Zhong Mengdie’s eyes widened.
She originally thought that she had been fooled by Cui Yang. He probably hadn’t saved her father at all.
However, she didn’t expect that at this critical moment, Cui Yang would actually stand out.
“Who are you? You actually dare to bring soldiers into the coronation ceremony! Left and right, capture him!” Lu Yingjie shouted sternly. He raised his hand and countless Lu Family cultivators immediately descended.
In terms of the number of people, the people Cui Yang brought with him were simply few and far between.
Unexpectedly, Cui Yang suddenly knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands, and said loudly, “I’m the son of the Governor of the Heavenly Gate County, Cui Yang. I have an important matter to request an audience with the Emperor!”
Zhong Mengdie was instantly shocked when she saw Cui Yang’s attitude, and a bad premonition lingered in her heart.
Lu Yingjie sneered. “Who do you think you are? Is there a place for you to speak here!?”
He was about to wave his hand and drive Cui Yang away when he finished speaking.
“What is it?”
Suddenly, a dignified voice sounded out from the Dragon Platform.
Cui Yang immediately knelt on the ground when he heard this voice, and he kowtowed as he said, “I, Cui Yang, want to report the Zhong Clan’s evildoer to the Emperor!”
The surroundings were instantly in an uproar when these words were spoken.
Many people’s eyelids twitched madly. They naturally knew what this meant.
According to the character of this Dragon City’s King, Lu Haotian, if he knew that there was a Zhong Clan’s evildoer, then he would rather kill a thousand than let one go.
For a time, everyone wanted to flee, but they suddenly noticed that the path they came from was blocked by countless soldiers, and they were utterly unable to leave.
