The Dignified Dragon Race Crown Prince

Then, without the slightest hesitation, his figure flashed as he sped toward the battlefield outside the city, not even stopping to answer Jiao Mowang's question about the Six-Eared Macaque! That urgency and concern were absolutely genuine!

Next, the footage rapidly showed what followed, from Lin Zhu's perspective and partly from an omniscient viewpoint.

When Lin Zhu reached the edge of the battlefield and saw Ao Lie easily captured by Indra, he immediately stepped forward to negotiate, trying to make Indra release him. Indra issued arrogant threats, and White Lotus Boy suddenly launched a sneak attack and seized Ao Lie...

Then came the most crucial part!

The footage clearly recorded how, after White Lotus Boy seized Ao Lie and held a blade to him, Lin Zhu repeatedly tried to dissuade him in all "sincerity," even saying things like, "This is Western Heaven's last chance."

It showed how White Lotus Boy laughed arrogantly, cursed the Dragon Clan as "long worms," proclaimed that his vision lay beyond the Three Realms, brutally cut off Vajra Yaksha Bright King and the others when they tried to advise him, and finally... how he cleanly chopped off Ao Lie's head with a single stroke. It also showed how, before everyone's eyes and with a savage grin, he used Lapis Lazuli Buddha Light to slowly crush Ao Lie's struggling primordial spirit into nothingness!

Throughout the entire process, White Lotus Boy's cruelty, arrogance, stupidity, and utter disregard for life were displayed in full! Meanwhile, from beginning to end, apart from his initial attempts at persuasion and his final sigh, Lin Zhu had never given any "orders," "coercion," or even "hints" that Ao Lie should go to war! On the contrary, he had been trying to save Ao Lie all along!
