Benevolent Sovereign Ji Long's decree of censure, along with the arrival of special envoys from the Heavenly Patrol Division and the War Ministry, stirred up waves far greater and stranger than Ye Zhen had imagined.
It was strange because the moment the Heavenly Patrol Division and War Ministry envoys arrived, Wu Zhao, Marshal of the Eastern War Zone's Jingbian Army, voluntarily submitted a confession.
He stated that the infiltration of a Devil Race Dao Realm expert had been entirely due to his negligence.
That night, the warning formation in the sector under his patrol had detected a fleeting anomaly, but he had failed to take it seriously or investigate it, allowing the Devil Race Dao Realm expert to invade.
At the same time, Marshal Wu Zhao of the Jingbian Army submitted a blood letter, begging His Majesty to spare his wife and children for the sake of his hundred and thirty years of hardship defending the border for the nation.
As for himself, he felt his sins were too grave and was too ashamed to face the Emperor. Thus, he had taken his own life, washing away his shame with blood!
By the time the Heavenly Patrol Division and War Ministry envoys who received the confession and blood letter rushed over, the Jingbian Army Marshal's corpse had long gone cold.
As for his Innate Soul, it had vanished long ago as well.
According to the personal guards who had witnessed Wu Zhao's suicide, after the Marshal killed himself, he had felt too ashamed to face His Majesty and had even burned away his Innate Soul.
Soul and spirit destroyed—there was no proof left, living or dead.
Of course, the Heavenly Patrol Division and War Ministry envoys were not so easily fooled.
