Chapter 656 - 559: Execution
When Linglong learned about the Kangchuan Clan’s situation, she slapped herself three times. She held herself to incredibly high standards, and ever since taking over the daily affairs of the New World, she had been assiduous and detailed in her work, hoping not to disappoint Zhao Yi’s expectations.
She also hoped that the residents and cultivators seeking refuge in the New World could find a good haven, yet such a heinous incident occurred!
And that Kang Fenyang was someone she had personally received!
"That bastard, I will peel his skin off!"
After the self-reflection came the fury. Linglong smashed three teacups in a fit before gradually calming down.
"We should quickly organize the troops to go over there; the King made it clear that if our army doesn’t go, he won’t leave."
A secretary thoughtfully reminded Linglong, who then had an epiphany and immediately organized an army of ten thousand, along with five thousand students from various academies to accompany them.
Zhao Yi’s clone did not specify what to do once the army arrived, but judging by the tone and orders from Zhao Yi, this time Zhao Yi intended to conduct a major purge!
Kill! He wanted to kill many people!
Bringing these students to let them witness the consequences of corruption and oppression against civilians and cultivators was absolutely necessary as a form of education.
Therefore, Linglong completely disregarded others’ dissuasion, feeling only regret that she couldn’t bring all the students along.
Some of the students had participated in the previous rebellion suppression, while others were newcomers, all assuming that this time would be a breeze, but they were all mistaken; the army charged forward with no rest!
As a result, many students couldn’t handle it after just two days, and upon hearing this, Linglong immediately issued an order.
"Anyone who falls behind or doesn’t want to continue can return, but the school will expel them immediately!"
Upon hearing this, the students almost fainted, thinking Linglong was heartless, but none dared speak up, only inwardly cursed, trying their best to keep up.
With magic enhancement, after seven days, the group arrived at Xin’an Province. "Greetings, King!"
"Greetings, King!"
The group saluted as Zhao Yi gestured for them to rise.
"You will immediately interrogate the local supervising cultivators and arrest anyone affiliated with the Kangchuan Clan! By the way, why did you bring so many students?"
Zhao Yi noticed the army’s rear, a group lying flat, taking a closer look to find they were academy students.
"The King wants to kill, and I want them to see!"
"Hahaha, excellent!"
Linglong personally presided over the interrogation of the supervising cultivators and some key figures of the Kangchuan Clan.
Kang Fenyang was led to a separate room.
The room was not large but very clean, with nothing except a table and chairs.
After a few days, Kang Fenyang’s former calm and noble appearance was completely gone, replaced by messy hair and lifeless eyes.
"I didn’t expect you to personally interrogate me, seems like I still have some face." Kang Fenyang said weakly.
"You’re considered the chief culprit; had I let others interrogate you, wouldn’t it be a bit of an insult to you? How have these days been treating you?"
Kang Fenyang’s heart twisted in pain, from the towering patriarch of the Kangchuan Clan to a prisoner, in just a few days, how could he be well with such a great fall, and didn’t Zhao Yi see him in this state!
"Brat! Killing me inside! You play those tricks less!"
Unable to hold back, Kang Fenyang began to swear.
"Old man, I won’t waste words with you. Tell me, which Law Realm did you come from, and how many people are behind it, tell me clearly, or I’ll start torturing your son!"
"You! You shameless!" Kang Fenyang had resigned to death, refusing to speak about anything, but Zhao Yi directly struck his weak point.
"If you cooperate, I can leave a root for your family; if not, I’ll start the torture today!"
Zhao Yi offered the terms.
Silence fell in the room, and after a long while, Kang Fenyang sighed.
"We come from the Power Law Realm, and our Kangchuan Clan represents the Heavenly Dao Will. In that world, our clan has three million members, and of course, other clans exist too."
"I don’t understand, since you hold such high status, why do you commit such acts!"
"Because it’s the Power Law Realm! To survive and gain the favor of the Heavenly Dao Will, we must continue to devour other Law Realms. Otherwise, our clan won’t be destroyed!"
Zhao Yi realized, the Kangchuan Clan, seeming glorious, was nothing but a puppet of the Heavenly Dao Will, and required constant operation.
"Now tell me, with your side dead, what reaction will they have? Will they come to attack our New World?"
"That I don’t know; I’m not the highest-ranked internally within our clan, so I can’t grasp the highest patriarch’s thoughts."
"Tell me the specific location of the Power Law Realm!"
Hesitating for a moment, Kang Fenyang finally divulged everything.
After receiving the coordinates, Zhao Yi prepared to leave.
"You truly won’t kill us?"
"No, I want you to witness that world’s destruction! Your clan vanished into the cosmos!"
After several days of interrogation and capture, Linglong reported to Zhao Yi that thirty cultivators from the world core, two hundred accomplices, and three thousand guards had all fallen this time.
"King, how would you like to deal with these people?"
Linglong was somewhat apprehensive, contemplating the damage caused if so many were killed.
"Tomorrow, hold a killing ceremony at the Kangchuan Clan’s original site, and have all key members beheaded! Then ask the students if anyone wants to carry out the execution."
"What about the three thousand guards?"
"Find a place and kill them all tonight!"
Leaving this cold remark, Zhao Yi departed.
"Yes!"
The next day, several hundred captured cultivators were pushed to the outskirts of town, kneeling uniformly on the ground.
Among thousands of students, thirty volunteered to execute, while others watched. Over the past few days, they had learned the events, witnessed constant arrests on the streets, and faced the current scene. Some students felt intense fear, unable to control their trembling legs.
"Why are you trembling there!"
"Why do they have to kill so many? Can’t they show some mercy?"
"I heard, last night, all three thousand guards were already dealt with! This is truly ruthless!"
"You’re calling them ruthless for killing bad people, but think of those innocent people they murdered, the ones who hoped for a new life, and how devastated they were by them!"
A student’s words silenced peers, all feeling that he was right but also too cold.
"Boom! Boom!"
Fireworks burst in the sky, bringing a hint of romance to the grim scene.
"Execute!"
As the Executioner commanded, cold glints flashed, blood splattered, ending the lives of some criminals.
"King, please speak!"
