Chapter 1607 Three Deadly Sins

“You bastard, are you crazy?”

Huo Dongping was stunned at first; he never expected his Grandson to reveal all his secrets.

After he came to his senses, he immediately lunged forward to stop him, but suddenly felt a powerful Aura sweeping over him, pinning him down so tightly that he couldn't move an inch. It was Lin Zhentian who had made a move.

“Lord Huo, what are you doing?”

“This… this isn’t true, Lord Huo, listen to me, this is absolutely not true…”

“Enough!”

Lin Zhentian roared, “Are you trying to tell us that your Grandson is framing you? Do you think we are all fools?”

“Exactly! He’s your own flesh and blood, how could he fabricate facts and slander you?”

“Just now, you said that your Changsun Family people never lie…”

“Shameless scoundrel, daring to do something but not daring to admit it, what kind of man are you?”

For a moment, the onlookers were filled with righteous indignation, pointing fingers and accusing him.

Huo Dongping slumped to the ground, his eyes filled with despair. He couldn’t understand why things had turned out this way.

“Huo Dongping, do you admit your guilt?”

Lin Zhentian said coldly, “What did I say when I went into seclusion? I told you that anything important must be reported to me, and you must not make decisions on your own. But what did you do?

You didn’t even inform me about such a major event as Yunxia Mountain entering the world. What were you trying to do?

Deceiving superiors, concealing information, and making unauthorized decisions—this is your first crime!

It’s fine if you didn’t report it. If you could handle it properly, you could have redeemed yourself.

But what did you do? After leaving the Heavenly Palace, you lived a life of luxury, watching Yunxia Mountain collude with foreign races, wreaking havoc in our Huaxia, yet doing nothing and caring about nothing. Do you still remember the Heavenly Palace's duties?

Indulging foreign enemies and dereliction of duty—this is your second crime!

As a dignified Imperial Realm expert and the Deputy Palace Master of the Heavenly Palace, you actually laid hands on two defenseless women. Do you have any sense of shame?

Having no sense of shame, kidnapping women, and wantonly using force against common people—this is your third crime!”

Lin Zhentian’s words were powerful and resonant. With each crime he listed, his Aura grew stronger, and the majesty of the Heavenly Palace Master permeated the entire scene.

“Law Enforcement Elder, where are you?”

At his loud shout, a tall, dark-faced old man stepped forward.

“Subordinate is here!”

Lin Zhentian said, “According to the actions of Huo Dongping and

(Chapter not finished, please turn the page)

Huo Jian, what is their punishment?”

The dark-faced old man bowed and said, “According to the Heavenly Palace’s laws, they should be beaten to death.”

Lin Zhentian waved his hand: “Then execute it!”

“No, please don't!”

By now, Huo Dongping was completely dumbfounded, crying and saying, “Sect Leader, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me. I was just momentarily confused.

For the sake of my many years in the Heavenly Palace, even if I have no achievements, I have worked hard. Please forgive me this once, and I will definitely make amends in the future…”

“As the Deputy Palace Master of the Heavenly Palace, you show no self-discipline and have repeatedly violated the Heavenly Palace’s laws. You are simply unforgivable, how can I spare you!”

Lin Zhentian was now filled with rage. For both public and private reasons, he would not let the Huo Family grandfather and Grandson go.

The Law Enforcement Elder showed no politeness either. With a wave of his hand, several Heavenly Palace Disciples immediately rushed forward, ready to carry out the beating to death.

“Lin Zhentian, you’re forcing my hand!”

Huo Dongping’s Aura suddenly erupted. No matter what, he was an Imperial Realm expert, and his desperate struggle unleashed an astonishing Aura, instantly sending those Disciples flying.

Then, with a flash, he appeared before Changsun Dongju and reached out to grab her neck.

Seeing that he was in unavoidable danger, he wanted to seize Changsun Dongju as a hostage to save his own old life.

The incident happened so suddenly that not only did others not have time to rescue her, even if they did, they couldn’t block an Imperial Realm expert’s attack.

“Old scoundrel, how dare you!”

Lin Zhentian roared and turned to rescue her.

However, when he had just announced the three crimes, he had already moved to the center of the arena, a considerable distance away, making rescue beyond his reach.

Watching Huo Dongping’s large hand get closer and closer to Changsun Dongju, a triumphant look even appeared on his face. As long as he got this woman in his hands, even if Lin Zhentian was strong, he wouldn’t dare to touch him.

But just then, his mind exploded again, his Mental Energy was shattered, his body stiffened, and he instantly lost consciousness.

This period was very short, but when he regained consciousness, Changsun Dongju had already disappeared from his sight.

“Damn it, what in the world is going on?”

Because mental attack methods were extremely rare, he still hadn't realized that this was the effect of the Divine Soul Blade.

Ye Bufan naturally wouldn’t let this old fellow harm his mother. After unleashing the Divine Soul Blade, he directly pulled Changsun Dongju ten meters away.

Seeing that there were no more hostages, Huo Dongping was completely

(Chapter not finished, please turn the page)

panicked. His strength was already much weaker than Lin Zhentian’s, and now he was severely injured, so he had no ability to resist at all.

He lifted his foot, ready to flee, but unfortunately, it was too late. Lin Zhentian’s True Essence Great Hand had already slammed down from the sky.

“No…”

Huo Dongping wanted to resist, also striking out with a palm, but the difference in strength was too great. His palm had no obstructive effect whatsoever, and he was then violently slammed to the ground.

The power of Lin Zhentian’s angry palm was immense. Not only did it directly embed him into the ground, but it also shattered his internal organs. A dignified Imperial Realm expert thus died.

The Law Enforcement Elder was also furious. Huo Dongping’s resistance had caused him to lose face, so he immediately organized his subordinates to beat Huo Jian, who was nearby, to death.

Only at this moment did Huo Dongping’s meticulously planned scheme completely collapse, at the cost of both him and his Grandson being killed.

“Lord Huo, we were all deceived by Huo Dongping, and we specially come to you to plead guilty!”

With Huo Dongping being beaten to death before their eyes, Luo Shixin and Xin Wenli, who had been trembling beside him, no longer dared to hesitate. Dragging their heavily injured bodies, they came before Lin Zhentian and knelt down with a thud.

“Alright, considering that you were unaware, you will be confined for three months.”

Seeing that these two were already quite miserable and indeed unaware, Lin Zhentian stopped there and did not punish them too severely.

“Thank you, Lord Huo!”

These two not only had no complaints but instead breathed a long sigh of relief. They had just offended the Crown Prince, so being able to save their lives was already good enough.

With the matter now completely concluded, Ouyang Lan led Su Ruyue, Qin Chu Chu, and others back to the Changsun Family. Situ Changkong and An Daoquan naturally also left.

Ultimately, only Ye Bufan and Changsun Dongju remained. The family came to the Sect Master’s residence on the mountaintop.

“Dongju, Xiaofan, please sit down quickly.”

Looking at these two closest people before him, Lin Zhentian no longer had the previous majesty of a Sect Master, and he couldn't stop smiling.

After the two were seated, he first bowed deeply to Changsun Dongju: “Dongju, I wronged you back then by easily believing others’ rumors.

It’s my fault that you suffered so much all these years. I formally apologize to you.”

Then he looked at Ye Bufan and said with deep remorse, “Son, Dad also let you down. I haven’t fulfilled any of my paternal responsibilities all these years. Dad also apologizes to you here.”
