Lin Xuan led the Mountain and River Army to set up camp outside the capital. The tens of millions of troops were filled with murderous aura, which they made no attempt to conceal. The rolling murderous aura condensed above the camp and transformed into an astonishing murderous aura that shot straight into the heavens.
Rumble... Crackling...
In an instant, outside the capital, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and dark clouds gathered. The terrifying aura caused countless people in the capital to change color, feeling a chill run through their bodies, as if their souls were trembling.
Countless people throughout the Great Xia Dynasty looked extremely grim, especially the high-ranking officials, whose faces were ashen. They were not ordinary people, and their perspective on issues was naturally different from that of ordinary people.
In their view, Lin Xuan's actions were clearly a provocation, a provocation against the entire upper echelons of the Great Xia Dynasty.
It was also a form of revenge.
Previously, those people colluded with evil spirits to capture the families of soldiers of the Mountain and River Army. Now, Lin Xuan is stationed outside the capital and sends people to capture people all over the country every day.
Chu Lingkong had already drawn up a list containing information on people related to the family incident. Most of these people had been arrested by the higher-ups of the Great Xia, but some had slipped through the net and unfortunately could not escape the retaliation of the Shanhe Army.
Moreover, compared to the high-ranking officials of the Great Xia Dynasty, the Shanhe Army's methods are more forceful.
Not only were the people involved arrested, but their relatives were also spared and killed without exception.
Lin Xuan wanted the world to know the price of scheming against the Shanhe Army, and he wanted to use their heads to intimidate the world.
Lin Xuan's actions have therefore sparked considerable controversy.
at this time!
In the capital city, dozens of high-ranking officials were seated in a luxurious conference hall. If Lin Xuan were there, he would definitely recognize many of them.
The Drunken Sword Immortal Xu Changshan, along with all the gods who were with Chi Huo and others back then, were among them.
Besides, there was another person, the old man who had met Lin Xuan that day. If Lin Xuan were here, he would be shocked, because the old man was sitting above Xu Changshan and the others, and was subtly located in one of the most central positions.
This shows just how high the old man's status was.
"Gentlemen, Lin Xuan is too arrogant. He is now causing killings all over the country. If we let him continue like this, the prestige of our Great Xia government will drop to rock bottom."
Someone stepped forward and suggested, "Therefore, I recommend suppressing Lin Xuan and the Shanhe Army. Great Xia is a place that upholds the rule of law, and we will absolutely not allow them to act recklessly."
"That's right. Lin Xuan and the Shanhe Army are too arrogant. It's one thing to arrest people, but they don't even spare their relatives. They're worse than animals."
"We must be on high alert, otherwise how will we gain the respect of the people in the future?"
“This door must not be opened, otherwise everyone will follow suit, and the country will cease to exist.”
...
In the conference hall, many people were filled with righteous indignation, and they all verbally attacked Lin Xuan.
Among these people, Lin Xuan and the Shanhe Army have become synonymous with heinous crimes, especially Lin Xuan, who has become an unforgivable demon.
Of course, this was only a portion of the people in the conference room; most remained silent. The dozens of people in the room belonged to different factions. Most had no grudge against Lin Xuan and naturally wouldn't easily offend him or the Shanhe Army.
"What? It's okay for your people to arrest other people's family members, but when other people kill your people and wipe out their relatives, they're considered to be committing all sorts of evil deeds? Don't be so hypocritical."
Just as the group was filled with righteous indignation, someone suddenly let out a cold laugh, the sound echoing throughout the hall and instantly attracting the attention of countless people, who all turned to look. The speaker was none other than Xu Changshan, who leaned back in his chair, leisurely taking a swig of wine from his gourd, before coldly saying, "Don't look at me like that, I'm just telling the truth..."
“Xu Changshan, you and Lin Xuan are in cahoots, so naturally you’ll speak on his side.”
A deity stood up, pointed at Xu Changshan, and angrily rebuked him: "Lin Xuan ordered his Shanhe Army to carry out a large-scale massacre. Such behavior is itself a provocation against our Great Xia. Are we to let him continue like this?"
“Every effect has a cause. If you hadn’t crossed the line first, things wouldn’t be like this today.”
Xu Changshan sneered: "The Shanhe Army has made so many contributions to our Great Xia, but you people, for your own selfish desires, eliminated dissidents. Now that they have risen to power, you can't do anything about them, and you feel sorry for them when they are killed. So you stand up and cry, treating yourselves as victims."
You don't think everyone in the world is a fool, do you?
As soon as Xu Changshan uttered his words, many people in the conference hall had bloodshot eyes and were seething with rage, wishing they could tear Xu Changshan apart alive. These people were basically a group who had a grudge against Lin Xuan, so naturally they would not agree with Xu Changshan's words, and were even more furious with him because of them.
"Xu Changshan, don't forget your own position. Do you think it's appropriate for you to say such things, given your status..."
Someone gritted their teeth and growled, their face contorted in a ferocious roar.
Xu Changshan's eyes narrowed, and he was about to retort. However, at that moment, a sudden change occurred.
Buzz...
An unparalleled aura descended from the sky, enveloping the entire conference hall. The invisible pressure fell like a mountain, causing the void to tremble and reveal astonishing cracks all around.
Boom... Rumble...
The next instant, accompanied by a series of astonishing killing intents, the entire conference hall began to tremble. Then, as the surrounding space shattered, the entire conference room collapsed, and with a bang, it shattered into pieces and exploded completely.
"Damn it, who is it..."
The conference hall erupted in chaos. Everyone inside was furious, shouting and some even seemed ready to leap into the air.
However, at that moment, an astonishing pressure erupted, instantly suppressing the area with unprecedented speed, rendering the dozens of people completely immobile. Everyone was thrown into a panic; their expressions changed drastically, and a chill ran through their bodies.
You must understand that although these people do not represent the highest combat power of Great Xia, they are still part of the top combat power. Each of them is a being above the celestial level, a powerful figure capable of changing the landscape of a region. Yet now, without even seeing the enemy's figure, they were stunned by this astonishing pressure. How could they not be shocked and flustered?
Even Xu Changshan, who had just been arguing with many people, changed his expression and lost his previous composure.
"A bunch of useless trash. When facing evil spirits, you all just know how to cower like turtles. You're all good at bullying your own kind. It's a miracle that the Great Xia Dynasty has come this far under the leadership of you useless people."
The deep voice rang out like a blade, clearly reaching everyone's mind.
That sharp, piercing aura sent chills down everyone's spines, making them tremble all over, as if their souls were being torn apart.
