"The eight hundred soldiers who have come here today swear before Heaven that we will act fairly and impartially, without a single injustice! Otherwise, we will repay the heroic spirits of our fallen predecessors in Heaven with our lives!"
"The court has its laws, and the military its regulations! We beg our heroic predecessors' forgiveness!"
Then he waved a hand, turned, and barked, "Take them all away!"
Every member of the Wei Family had their cultivation sealed and was handcuffed, then escorted out of the ancestral hall one by one.
Arresting the descendants of heroes in the Wei Family's ancestral hall, before hundreds of heroic spirits-how that sight stabbed the heart and seared the eyes, how jarringly wrong it looked!
Every soldier carrying out the arrests had tears in his eyes and a heart weighed down with grief!
Why couldn't you have amounted to something?!
Even if you had spent your lives accomplishing nothing? Even if you had no abilities whatsoever, not even the aptitude to practice martial arts, you still wouldn't have brought such humiliation upon your ancestors!
A bitterness that lingered even in death!
Did you know that arresting you here was like plunging a knife into each of our hearts, leaving them dripping blood?
An agony that pierced the heart!
Because we were soldiers too-we felt it as though it were happening to us!
The procession stretched into a long line, filing out.
Just as the head of the Wei Family was about to step through the gate, he suddenly twisted back with all his might.
Looking toward the ancestral hall, he dropped to his knees with a thud and kowtowed again and again, tears and snot streaming down his face. "I have let down the ancestors of the Wei Family..."
Inside the ancestral hall.
