Chapter 343: Chapter 338: His Life, You Can't Afford_1
Jiang Ling in mid-air looked at the frenzied Mu Huanqing, suddenly felt a suffocation in his chest that he couldn't breathe out, no matter how hard he tried.
When his lover was slain years ago and he vowed to make an enemy of the entire world, how similar was he to today's Mu Huanqing?
"I've been very tolerant of you all! I've been extremely tolerant! I've always been retreating, always retreating," Mu Huanqing cried incessantly, pointing at Xia Mo, "Your laws forbid me to marry him and I didn't turn against you! When Xia Fu Lan caused my meridians to be severed, I still endured! I was only afraid that you would hurt him! I was only scared that you would harm him!
But why is it that when I've been so yielding, in the end, he still died! To protect you lot, who wouldn't allow us to be together! He died! And now that I seek revenge for him, you still have the audacity to stop me!"
In a brief moment, Xia Fu Lan saw the Central Army arriving and quickly hid in the rear ranks, steering clear from the direction where the Nine Heavens Corps and the Nightfall Organization were located.
Because she knew very well that at Mu Huanqing's command, the Nine Heavens Corps would chop her up without hesitation, and the Nightfall Organization, even more so, was a law unto themselves. If their leader, Jiang Ling, said he would kill her, the Central Army wouldn't be able to block them in time.
Seeing Xia Fu Lan escape into the ranks, a general from the Central Army quickly had the surrounding soldiers protect her and brought Xia Fu Lan to where Song Mobei and a few other Tiandao disciples were.
Had it not been for the Central Army protecting these Tiandao disciples on their way here, they probably would have been chopped to pieces by the Nine Heavens Corps long ago.
At that moment, the general stepped forward and said, "Lady Xuan, I know you are in great pain right now. The death of Fang Ren has deeply grieved us too, but the matter of a traitor still requires further investigation, we need evidence..."
"Shut up! I've said it! From today onward, I don't need evidence for anything I do!" Mu Huanqing gripped the Hundred Martial Divine Weapon again.
"General! It's obvious she has gone mad!" Seeing herself protected by the surrounding Central Army, Xia Fu Lan quickly spoke up in her defense, "I, Xia Fu Lan, have done nothing to betray my conscience in heaven and earth! How could I possibly harm my own kin! If I truly wanted to harm my own kin, Mu Huanqing would have been dead long ago!"
Song Mobei too spoke up in a hurry, "Junior Fulan is right! If she truly betrayed her kin, then Lady Xuan should be the first to be killed! Not Fang Ren! Besides, right or wrong, there is no evidence yet, Lady Xuan is making premature conclusions! It's a complete insult to the laws of the Middle Zone!
If today Junior Fulan and the Tiandao Sword Sect are completely annihilated just like that, then who will care about evidence in the future? Wouldn't it be just about killing whoever we say to kill?"
Another general stepped forward with a frown and complex expression, saying, "Lady Xuan, I greatly respect what Young Master Fang has done for us, and I am aware that it is he who saved my life. But today... I must stop you. Because many disciples of the Tiandao Sword Sect are truly innocent. And there is indeed no evidence at present proving that Xia Fu Lan has betrayed humanity..."
As the two generals intervened, more and more generals from the Central Zone also spoke up, wanting to stop Mu Huanqing.
Seeing more and more generals coming forward, Xia Fu Lan began to feel somewhat reassured, and she said to Mu Huanqing, "Lady Xuan, I am not clear about the exact nature of your relationship with Fang Ren. His death pains me too, but to place the cause of his death entirely on me, I fear that you might be seizing this opportunity to retaliate against your own kin."
"Princess Fulan, you are now the suspect," a general said coldly, his gaze falling on Xia Fu Lan.
Though they were there to save Xia Fu Lan's life, it didn't mean they had to be cordial to her.
Now, without evidence, they couldn't convict her; protecting Xia Fu Lan from death was their duty as soldiers of the Central Army.
But with their kin, brothers and sisters, dying on the battlefield, and with Xia Fu Lan being greatly suspect, their attitude towards her was only that of anger.
In fact, if their status weren't as generals of the Middle Zone, they wouldn't have wanted to stop Mu Huanqing at this juncture, knowing full well how much Madame Xuan had sacrificed for her kin over the years.
"Hui Qing! Wait a bit longer!"
In the end, Xia Mo couldn't help but speak up, considering his position that killing without evidence indeed could cause a lot of negative social impact.
"Nonsense!"
Jiang Ling in mid-air could not bear to watch any longer. Without a word, he drew his long sword, its blade cloaked in a black aura, "You don't trust the Xuan Nv chosen by the entire world, but you choose to believe in a young miss who's a deserter on the battlefield and heavily suspected?"
"It's not about trust! It's about needing evidence!" a general objected with a frown.
"Your Madame Xuan said, no evidence is needed."
As Jiang Ling's words fell, his long sword began to point toward where Xia Fu Lan was,
and in an instant, tens of thousands of Nightfall Organization members behind her began to channel their True Qi, the sound of the release of tens of thousands of people's True Qi compressing the surrounding air with weight. .net
"Jiang Ling! Don't stir up trouble at this time!" Xia Mo yelled out.
"To avenge a hero, even a moment's delay is disrespect to the hero!"
Jiang Ling's resounding words echoed in everyone's ears, awakening the image of Fang Ren standing alone against the Giant Dragon in everyone's minds, as the scenes of Fang Ren's Spirit Form saving them flickered incessantly.
