General Xing, Stand Down!

Chu Sheng spoke calmly.

"This was found in the Ling Family."

Wang Keji's face alternated between green and white, but he still forced himself to say, "Even if the Ling Family secretly possessed human elixirs, you could only arrest them and bring them to justice. What does that have to do with rebellion? What right did you have to slaughter the entire Ling Family on your own!"

Chu Sheng merely lifted his eyes and glanced at him without speaking.

The next moment, his figure flashed, and he appeared before Wang Keji in an instant, reaching for his shoulder.

Startled and enraged, Wang Keji instinctively circulated his immortal power and struck at Chu Sheng with his palm.

But before he could touch Chu Sheng, Chu Sheng had already flashed back to where he stood.

Wang Keji froze in place, feeling as though he had been toyed with in front of everyone. He trembled with rage.

"Your Majesty! This man has shown contempt for the court. I beg Your Majesty to seize him and punish him severely!"

Chu Sheng spread his hands, his tone calm.

"I merely wanted to prove one thing: unless they were fools, no one would surrender without resistance."

"When the Ling Family learned that the matter had been exposed, they tried to seize the evidence from me. Zhou Heng was ambushed and killed by them while protecting me."

The Eighth Prince's faction had been waiting for those words. At once, an old minister stepped forward and sneered.

"What nonsense! The strongest member of the Ling Family was only at the peak of the Loose Immortal realm, yet you claim they killed someone at the peak of the True Immortal realm? That lie is far too absurd!"

At the very moment his words fell, another report came from outside
