The two left the attic as dawn broke, a warm hue tinged on the distant horizon, and a dazzling light was brewing in the darkness.
The Heavenly River has arrived and is hovering above the sacred mountain.
Ning Chuan did not rush to leave.
He was worried about Lin Fengyang and planned to wait until the verdict was announced before making any further plans.
Ning Chuan didn't have to wait long.
At seven o'clock in the morning, when the sun was halfway up, the military announced the verdict.
Lin Fengyang committed a serious mistake by plotting to seize the ancestral land of the Ten Thousand Flowers Palace, which led to the death of the Vine Spirit Divine General.
Therefore,
Remove him from his military post!
Guarding the North Sea Domain for seventy years!
Thirty percent of the assets will be confiscated and given to the Ten Thousand Flowers Palace as compensation!
The military did not hide anything; they held a press conference and made a public announcement.
The Federation was in an uproar. The news spread like wildfire, quickly becoming the talk of the world.
The shockwaves spread far and wide, creating a magnificent upheaval.
Countless people were moved and in disbelief.
This is the first time in the 1,100-year history of the Federation that Heavenly King has been publicly punished; it is unprecedented!
Many top experts were puzzled, wondering why the military would mobilize such a large force as the Ten Thousand Flowers Palace, a mere local power.
"The penalty was fair."
Inside a grand hall, Ning Chuan nodded to himself.
He never intended for Lin Fengyang to pay with his life.
That's unrealistic.
On the one hand, in Lin Longxing's memory, Lin Fengyang only instructed him to seize the sacred ground of the Ten Thousand Flowers Palace, and did not instruct Lin Longxing to kill anyone.
On the other hand, it's because of Lin Fengyang's identity.
Federation Heavenly King!
As long as Lin Fengyang doesn't commit heinous acts like massacring an entire city, he won't die!
In fact, if Ning Chuan hadn't intervened, Lin Fengyang wouldn't have even been punished.
Even if the military knew, at most they would order Lin Fengyang to stop and give Ten Thousand Flowers Palace some compensation, and that would be the end of it.
"This matter has blown up; Lin Fengyang will not dare to make a move again."
Ning Chuan, seated in the main seat, looked at Yu Wei and said, "Just in case, I will notify the Supreme Hall to send a few Divine General to oversee the Ten Thousand Flowers Palace."
"Thank you, Lord Palace Master!"
Yu Wei bowed in greeting.
Ning Chuan then gave a few more instructions.
"Oh, right, there's one more thing!"
Before leaving, Ning Chuan remembered something and instructed, "Arrange for a few people to enter the Sacred Medicine Field once every hour, but don't stay long. Just observe the situation, and notify me immediately if you notice anything unusual."
He told him about the black fog.
"Clear!"
Yu Wei nodded, watching Ning Chuan leave until his figure disappeared from sight.
Buzz!
The Heavenly River took off, speeding away under the dazzling sunlight.
For Ning Chuan, with the verdict delivered, the Ten Thousand Flowers Palace matter has temporarily come to an end.
However, the effects of this incident are only just beginning.
The vast Federation is in turmoil across its various regions.
The public isn't stupid. After the initial shock, many realized that the fact that the Heavenly King was punished so severely in public meant there was definitely a deeper power struggle behind it.
"It wasn't leaked by someone else; the military proactively announced it. There are only two possibilities!"
On social media, some people have made speculations.
Either several top military Heavenly King joined forces to suppress Lin Fengyang.
Either a high-ranking military official, such as Bai Qi Heavenly King, ordered a thorough investigation into the matter.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to control Lin Fengyang!
That was, after all, a Heavenly King!
It must be said that this person guessed very accurately.
When questioned by the military, Lin Fengyang was furious. Only after Bai Qi appeared did he admit it and accept the punishment.
" Bai Qi Heavenly King did indeed intervene, but the real cause was the World Walker!"
Suddenly, an anonymous account posted a message that attracted a lot of attention.
The level of popularity has surged dramatically.
The news of Ning Chuan and Lin Fengyang's falling out had already spread throughout the Federation when Lin Xiaoyun died, and many people were familiar with it.
What happened?!
Follow-up comments sprang up like mushrooms after rain, one after another.
Everyone was incredibly curious.
The military press conference only announced Lin Fengyang's punishment; the specific investigation process was not disclosed.
"Major news! Just last night, Ning Chuan killed Lin Fengyang's elder brother, Lin Longxing, smashing his head open and leaving him a bloody mess—a truly gruesome sight!"
The anonymous account didn't keep them in suspense any longer and left a comment.
The information contains many details, revealing that this person is from the military, but is likely afraid to reveal their true identity.
"Really?!"
This comment caused a huge uproar, like a stone thrown into a still pond.
Lin Longxing is no ordinary person. He is a military general, a well-known powerhouse in the Federation, and a master of pure offensive Law. His combat power is astonishing. In the past, he fought across borders and killed a Fifth-Heaven Divine General of an alien race!
"Of course it's true!"
Perhaps feeling questioned, the anonymous account quickly posted several comments.
"After Ning Chuan killed Lin Longxing, he recalled his memories and recorded it on video!"
"That confirmed that Lin Fengyang was the mastermind behind it all!"
"Without irrefutable evidence, who would dare punish a Heavenly King!"
Many people were deeply shaken and found it unbelievable.
" God Ning's combat power is actually this strong?!"
"The logic in the comment is sound; it's absolutely credible!"
Some young people firmly believed in Ning Chuan's strength, thinking that he could easily eliminate Lin Longxing, and that Lin Fengyang would be no problem in a while!
"If this is true, it's terrifying! The Three Prodigies of the Lin Family were known as the Three True Dragons, but God Ning slaughtered two of them!"
The topic has sparked heated discussions, with countless people joining the conversation.
Of course, while some people believe it, others doubt it.
"I think that's a bit far-fetched. Lin Longxing has mastered the Thunderstorm Law, a fifth-grade offensive Law!"
One comment emphasized that the pure Law of attack is terrifying!
"A renowned martial arts master analyzed God Ning's combat strength: with thousands of Divine Weapon, plus his Force and Fusion Mystic Truth, he's at most equivalent to Fourth-Heaven Divine General of Fifth-Grade Law. How could he possibly suppress Lin Longxing!"
"If it's fake, why doesn't Lin Longxing come out and explain!"
The online argument is in full swing, and neither side can convince the other.
However, this dispute did not last long.
Because, as noon approached, another major event drew the public's attention.
The Federation Divine General Rankings has arrived!
Countless people flocked to look through the article and left comments expressing their feelings!
"My God, over a thousand Divine General, there are so many?!"
"There aren't any in the civilian population, but didn't you see? Hundreds of military Divine General are on the list!"
The Federation was established during the Twin Martial Star War, bathed in blood and fire, and its military has always been powerful.
"However, the First Divine General is not from the military, but Qin Lang, the Vice Hall Master of the Supreme Hall!"
"I checked, and the top ten Divine General are all unparalleled warriors, with brilliant achievements. They are all figures of immense power, making countless peers pale in comparison!"
"Of course! The Ten Divine General the ten strongest experts below the Heavenly King, exceptionally brave and valiant, as brilliant as the sun, with an aura that can swallow mountains and rivers!"
Some people got emotional and suggested titles, which were echoed by many others.
The Divine General Ranking generals sparked heated discussions among all parties.
To a large extent, this list can reflect the strength of one side's power.
At the same time.
Everyone on the Heavenly River was doing the same, even Ning Chuan was looking through the list.
