Whoosh! Whoosh!
Three figures appeared out of thin air on the raised platform.
At the sight of them, the noisy platform and the crowd around it fell silent in an instant.
"Greetings, Ancestor Qin Hao!"
"Greetings, Sword Martial King!"
The crowd erupted with excitement.
Qin Family Disciples and warriors who had come from all sides to watch alike gazed in reverence at Qin Hao, who stood at the center of the platform. They could not take their eyes off him.
Mu Ziqing and Yun Chang stood beside Qin Hao.
The Qin Family Disciples under arrest on the platform had been struggling and trembling. The moment Qin Hao and the others arrived, they settled down.
But their faces grew even more despairing.
"Greetings, Father, Mother, Uncle Yun."
"Greetings, Father, Mother, Uncle Yun!"
Qin Ming and Qin Yue hurriedly bowed.
"Barto, announce the verdicts."
Qin Hao took the main seat, and Mu Ziqing and Yun Chang sat down as well. He waved Qin Ming and Qin Yue away, then swept a piercing gaze over the thousands of detained Qin Family Disciples.
Every disciple his gaze fell upon lowered their head in fear, despair, and anguish.
None dared meet his eyes.
"Yes, Master."
Barto already held a Jade Slip containing the list of names. He began announcing the verdicts, his voice deep and powerful:
"Qin Yuantian, a fourth-generation Qin Family Disciple at the Half-Step Creation realm. His crimes are as follows: abducting women and murdering one hundred and thirty-six people."
"Qin Yuantian is hereby sentenced to death!"
The crowd burst into an uproar.
Qin Yuantian was famous throughout the True Martial Continent. He was an elder of the Qin family and a fourth-generation disciple, one of Qin Ming's grandsons. His standing was second only to Qin Ming, Qin Yue, and their children.
"Father."
