Chapter 815 - 818: Truly Deserved to Die

Lin Ke, who was begging for mercy like a dog just now.

Upon hearing footsteps as neat as an army, he became arrogant again.

This demeanor caused the commoners to look down on him. If all nobles were like this, why couldn’t they surpass them?

The commoners couldn’t help but think of this question in their hearts.

"They’re here, the army has arrived." Lin Ke was delighted. Although he came to Xiuyuan Country privately, afterwards he could ask his elder sister to obtain an imperial edict from his brother-in-law, the Green Law King.

That way, his visit to Xiuyuan Country would be legitimate. As an envoy of Green France, coming to Xiuyuan Country and encountering such a situation,

In any case, the Xiuyuan Country’s army should protect him.

At this moment, the army arrived, led by Yuwen Nuo,

After the Heavenly King Country was destroyed, Yuwen Nuo rescued his mother and was grateful to Wu Tian.

And beside Yuwen Nuo was another person, Lin Xiu. He was the Imperial Uncle of Green France,

He is wholeheartedly devoted to the common people, knowing that his brother came to Xiuyuan Country to offend the Blood Refiners Guild,

He hurriedly arrived, met with Yuwen Nuo, and went to his residence,

Knowing something went wrong at the Spring Breeze Tower, he and Yuwen Nuo hurried to the scene,

"Brother, save me."

Seeing his elder brother arriving too, although his brother usually scolded him, Lin Ke considered him a savior now.

The most his brother would do was scold him.

Because the old lady, their mother, was there, the brother wouldn’t dare to kill him.

Otherwise, the old lady would say, "Lin Xiu, if you want to kill your brother, your mother’s dearest youngest son, then why not kill me, your mother, too."

"Lin Ke."

Lin Xiu hurried forward to support Lin Ke.

"Brother, they’re trying to kill me." Lin Ke’s eyes darted around,

thinking the situation had become favorable to him.

Lin Xiu was his elder brother.

Yuwen Nuo, in his opinion, had a good relationship with his brother and was an official in Xiuyuan Country.

"Brother, they disregard the law."

"They said... even if I am the Imperial Uncle of Green France, they would kill me if they wished."

"They... they also said they didn’t care about the diplomatic relations between Xiuyuan Country and Green France."

"They... right, they want to rebel. Hoping for a war between Green France and Xiuyuan Country so they’d have an opportunity."

Lin Ke desperately wanted Wu Tian, the little fellow dead and was speaking recklessly: "They must be spies of Azure Empire."

Lin Xiu, though fully aware of his brother’s character,

knew the truth just by watching Lin Ke’s evasive glances.

"Lin Ke, even now, you won’t be honest with your brother?"

Lin Xiu noticed the women beside him, some with faces ashen, others in torn clothes, their eyes filled with despair toward the world.

Oh heavens,

What have they gone through?

Lin Xiu was heartbroken and immediately questioned Lin Ke.

"Brother, are you still my real brother?" Lin Ke was angry, feeling his brother was wrong. As a brother, shouldn’t he stand by his side?

Lin Xiu felt bitter; If Lin Ke were anyone else, he would have long dealt with Lin Ke justly.

But Lin Ke happened to be his brother.

What could he do?

How to balance duty with loyalty to family?

Their mother favored the youngest son, saying he looked most like their deceased father.

Every time Lin Xiu was angry and wanted to capture Lin Ke, their mother threatened with her life.

"Lin Xiu, even though the Green Law King remains silent, why meddle in unnecessary concerns like an anxious eunuch? If you persist, I will kill myself here and let everyone know you are an unfilial son."

Facing such threats, Lin Xiu could only give up, helplessly.

Now, Lin Xiu didn’t know what to do.

"Is justice no longer existent?"

"Oh God."

At this moment, the grandfathers, husbands, sons, daughters of those women arrived one by one, understanding what happened.

Knowing that the officials might not punish Lin Ke, they began shouting angrily,

some elderly men even threatened to commit suicide by crashing into walls,

"This man must die." Wu Tian knew he couldn’t delay any longer; Lin Ke must die.

Wu Tian stepped forward,

Lin Xiu knew his brother was wrong, but for his mother, he began to plead: "Could you spare him? I will take him back and properly discipline him."

"Discipline won’t help such a person," Wu Tian’s voice was icy as Hell Asura: "If such a person doesn’t die, how will justice prevail for others?"

Lin Xiu panicked, immediately knelt down, and kowtowed repeatedly,

"I failed to educate my brother; it’s my fault."

"If someone must die, let it be me, rather than him."

Seeing Lin Xiu’s pleading, Lin Ke felt useless,

"Lin Ke, why plead?"

"You are the Imperial Uncle."

"You know the general of Xiuyuan Country."

"There’s no need to plead, just kill him directly."

Wu Tian was indifferent,

Yuwen Nuo heard the Ancestor of Blood Refinement’s voice and already guessed something,

and even without the Ancestor of Blood Refinement’s presence, Lin Ke, behaving recklessly on Xiuyuan Country’s land, must die.

He chuckled: "Lin Ke, whether you fall into my hands or others, you are destined to die."

What?

Lin Ke was utterly shocked,

How could things turn out this way?

"I... I can’t die."

"My crimes are not worthy of death."

"I was just playing; I didn’t intend to kill them."

"Some killed themselves because of their weak will, unable to bear the play."

"It’s not my fault."

Lin Ke shouted such claims,

Around him, people were shocked. What kind of education had Lin Ke received?

To become so beastly?

Wu Tian raised his fist,

Lin Xiu was still continuously kowtowing, his forehead bleeding.

Wu Tian paid no heed,

The fist struck forward with force, the momentum left the surrounding people trembling with fear!

Smash!

Struck by this fist meant to be pulverized,

No remains,

The commoners thought fearfully.

The space shook layer by layer.

"No"!

"My crimes really don’t deserve death."

Terror filled Lin Ke’s eyes!

He felt the aura of death!

He didn’t consider his actions wrong; why would he die?

Now, the force of the fist hit Lin Ke,

Suddenly,

Lin Ke disappeared without a trace, dead beyond dead.

At this moment, the surrounding space plunged into endless silence.

"Lin Ke."

Lin Xiu cried.

The surrounding people, after a moment of shock, rejoiced and cheered.

This Lin Ke, who came to Xiuyuan Country to seize and pillage, in the hearts of the commoners, deserved to die.
