Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 1108: Chapter 1108: Blood Mirror’s Divine Might

”This is impossible!”

Si Kong Zun roared.

”There’s nothing impossible about it. When we defeated the Blackraven Army and returned to Northern Desert City, it was Jia Lin and his son Jia Yun who led their troops to block our retreat, putting us in danger. If you claim they did not betray us, why would they do such a thing? Was it by your orders?”

Ling Xiao asked loudly.

”How could it possibly be an order from me? I knew nothing about this.”

Si Kong Zun hastily exonerated himself.

”If that is so, I killed traitors and eliminated a great peril on behalf of the Emperor. How can you accuse me of being guilty? Has the great General Si Kong become the great General of the Black Crow Empire?”

Ling Xiao, with each word piercing the heart, left Si Kong Zun completely at a loss for words.

Although he was very angry, he had always shown considerable restraint.

Especially when he took action at the city gate, he did not involve the Northern Desert Army, and when he arrived at the square, he also did not let the Northern Desert Army take action.

His purpose in doing so, was to avoid giving others grounds for accusation, thus he was able to render Si Kong Zun speechless with his irrefutable argumentation.

”Fine, even if everything you said is true, how do you explain the disruption of the execution ground, the killing of Ji Changran, Wan Qiu Feng, and the many soldiers overseeing the execution? That is a capital crime too, do you not know that?”

Si Kong Zun asked again.

”Disrupt the execution ground?”

Ling Xiao said dismissively: ”Ji Ning and the others are not only innocent but meritorious. They were framed by you, a treacherous official, and an illegal execution ground was set up. I merely rescued the meritorious officials of the Phoenix God Empire, do you think what I did was also a crime?”

A treacherous official?

Ling Xiao dared to accuse Si Kong Zun as a treacherous official in front of so many people again, and he, Si Kong Zun, had no words to refute it.

”What’s the matter, Saxon Old Dog, are you still not convinced?”

Ling Xiao looked coldly at Si Kong Zun, challenging him in public: ”You called me a rebel, you called me a criminal, and now I have clarified myself.

Then tell me, General Si Kong, how do you explain the many crimes you have committed?

I think both the Emperor and the people of the Imperial City would like to know the truth!”

”Ling Xiao, even though you are eloquent, I, Si Kong Zun, am upright and aboveboard, loyal to the Emperor and patriotic, and have committed no crimes!

You say I conspired against Ji Ning, but you have no evidence!

You say I sent people to ambush you midway, but you still have no evidence!

You say I abandoned the army and fled back to the Imperial City, but the truth is it was you and those rebels from Northern Desert City who tried to kill me. Facing so many rebels alone, I could only return to the Imperial City for help!”

Si Kong Zun believed that Jiumo Zhiyan would not betray him, so even if Ling Xiao captured Jiumo Zhiyan alive, it would be of no use.

That’s why he dared to be so bold and assertive, treating lies as the truth.

”Heh, I knew you, Saxon Old Dog, wouldn’t admit to it.”

Ling Xiao sneered: ”But I have told you more than once, I dare to say you are a traitor upon my return to the Imperial City because I have evidence!”

”Evidence? If you have any evidence, present it. Don’t keep spouting nonsense, I am the great General of the Empire, not someone you can slander at will! If you cannot present evidence today, your death is certain!”

Si Kong Zun really wanted to slap Ling Xiao to death right then and there, but seeing the Moon Lady standing beside Ling Xiao, he dared not make a move.

”Want evidence? That’s easy.”

Ling Xiao sneered coldly, then grabbed the head of Jiumo Zhiyan.

”What are you doing, Jiumo Zhiyan is the only witness, are you going to kill him?”

Si Kong Zun roared.

”How so? Does Great General Si Kong wish him to speak?”

Ling Xiao asked.

”Only Jiumo Zhiyan knows best who colluded with the Black Crow Empire. Since His Majesty the Emperor is present, let Jiumo Zhiyan speak then; as a commander with nothing to hide, I fear not the slanting shadows!”

Si Kong Zun said with a smile.

”Alright then, in that case, please proceed with the questioning.”

Ling Xiao tapped on Jiumo Zhiyan’s body, waking him from his coma.

”Jiumo Zhiyan, as a prince of the Black Crow Empire, did you conspire with Ji Ning to secretly harm this commander?”

Si Kong Zun asked loudly.

His voice was so loud that everyone in the plaza, even the entire Imperial City, could hear him crystal clear.

Jiumo Zhiyan said through gritted teeth: ”That’s right, we had an agreement with Ji Ning to kill Si Kong Zun, then provoke internal strife between Northern Desert Pass and Northern Desert City, in order to take over Northern Desert City in one fell swoop.

Unfortunately, that Ji Ning was incompetent, actually wounded by Si Kong Zun’s poisoned arrow, and then we encountered this monster Ling Xiao, who turned out to be proficient in military strategies, crushing our grand army.

I hate him to death!”

His words were indeed beautifully spoken.

Since he couldn’t frame Ling Xiao, he might as well portray Ling Xiao as the hero of the Phoenix God Empire, and sling mud on Ji Ning instead.

Isn’t that exactly what Si Kong Zun wanted anyway?

As long as Si Kong Zun was pleased, he might have a chance to escape back.

Though he had suffered a major setback this time, he had also learned a lot, understanding many things, so long as he could return to the Black Crow Empire.

He believed that he could definitely rise to a higher level.

”Hahaha, do you hear that Ling Xiao? This is the witness you brought back, you must believe what he says, right? Let alone everything else, Ji Ning dared to harm this commander, instigating an internal war between the Expedition Army and the Northern Desert Army, thereby giving the Black Crow Empire their opportunity. He is a traitor!

He deserves to be executed!

And you dared to rescue him from his execution, though your merits are considerable, they cannot offset your crime. Even if your death sentence can be spared, you cannot escape your living punishment!”

”Hahaha, hahaha, hahaha!”

Suddenly, Ling Xiao burst into laughter.

”Your Majesty the Emperor, you see it too, even Jiumo Zhiyan is covering for Si Kong Zun, doesn’t this prove that he is the traitor?

You have already seen the real process through the Blood Mirror, which is a Divine Artifact of the Scorpion Tribe that can track someone’s soul.

That’s why Timmerman Muto wanted to snatch it.

What’s even more powerful is that it can capture a person’s true memories, so no matter how much someone lies, it will still play out the real process exactly as it happened.”

Phoenix Immeasurable’s face looked particularly unsightly.

Indeed, before coming here he had seen the true memories of Jiumo Zhiyan, brought to the Imperial Palace by Feng Qingyan for him to watch.

But now, Jiumo Zhiyan was lying, defaming Ji Ning while whitewashing Si Kong Zun.

So isn’t the result very obvious now?

”Your Majesty, please don’t be hasty in dealing with Si Kong Zun, I hope all the soldiers and citizens of the Imperial City know this truth. This way, they will understand who is the villain and who is the hero!”

Ling Xiao smiled slightly, and said to the crowd: ”Vice Dean Feng, could you please project the memory captured by the Blood Mirror onto the sky? The bigger the image, the better!”

”Alright!”

Feng Qingyan aimed the Blood Mirror at the sky, and moments later, a blood-red cloud appeared in the sky.
