On the east side of the city, there was a sea of people. However, there was an additional black-masked person on the Five Elements Altar. He was the Western Lion King.

The so-called Five Elements Sacrificial Altar was a place where the sinners were placed in the center of a formation. The five corners of the altar were filled with high-level jade elementalists who specialized in metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Normally, when there was someone on the altar, it would be bustling with activity, but today it was especially solemn and solemn.

"Alright, it's about time, get ready." On the altar, a skinny and tired deputy ordered the executioners in the distance.

In just a moment, the sky changed. Five different powers spread out from the vortex in the sky to the five feet, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The five altars were lit up by the holy light in succession, and the violent energy that was released intimidated everyone present.

"General Murong, your life can be said to have been filled with countless achievements. I never expected you to end up like this. I'm so ashamed. Fine ?"

Just as the aide-de-camp gave the order to execute, a flying sword flew past the altar and deeply embedded itself into the wooden board behind him. He was stunned at first, but then furiously shouted, "Who dares to make such a disobedient move at the altar?"

"Shouldn't you take a look at what sword it is first?" Following the direction of the voice, a middle-aged man walked through the air and floated over. He was none other than the omnipresent guardian of the Ling family, Uncle Hu.

"You are ? this is ?" Seeing the figure floating over, he turned his head back to look at the flying sword, and his legs couldn't help but tremble.

"Seeing your sword as if it were His Majesty's presence, your vice-captain should just kneel down obediently," Uncle Hu said arrogantly, not giving this fellow the slightest bit of face in front of everyone.

"This one deserves a thousand deaths. I don't know why Your Majesty is here," the vice-official hastened to kneel and ask Uncle Hu in a trembling voice.

Take Murong Yi in temporarily and send him to the Punishment Hall for questioning. This time, the death of Consort Xia had a secret matter that needed the Eastern Ping King to decide personally, "Uncle Hu's right hand lightly pulled, snatching the Dragon Subordinate's treasured sword back. He then warned," I advise you to do as he says, don't play any tricks on me, otherwise, my lions won't have eyes. " Before his voice had even faded, a golden lion simulacrum completely enveloped his right arm. If one listened carefully, one would find that there was a low and deep lion roar mixed within.

The aide-de-camp didn't dare to slack off. He hastily followed Uncle Hu's instructions, but the solemn atmosphere below the stage was completely swept away. Replacing it was waves of cheers. It could be seen how high General Murong's position was in the hearts of the people.

The aide-de-camp was displeased when he caught sight of the crowd cursing along the way. He was wondering what kind of evil had caused him to have such a despicable affair. Fortunately, the journey to the Punishment Hall was not long, so he endured it for a while before leaving.

"Reporting, Lieutenant Wang has arrived with the prisoners," the soldier reported to the lords in the lobby in a hurry, panting for breath.

"Alright, you may leave. Let's begin now," King Dongping said to Fan Mu as he sat in the main hall.

"Alright, then let's clear up the matter first, it should have happened three days ago, according to my understanding, General Murong came to visit His Excellency's residence that day, and coincidentally happened to meet King Dongping, so he decided to give a banquet to entertain her, but unexpectedly, all the adults were drunk, so they were all sent back to their own rooms. The next morning, there were witnesses who saw the king coming out of a room that was covered in black smoke, and he was lying in his room naked, while behind him was a seven star sword lying in a pool of blood, and according to their estimation, at the time of her death, Dongping didn't know what was wrong with him."

"That's right, this is not far from the news I received. Then how can you say that the king is innocent? From this case, I can tell that the king is plotting against the royal family."

"Suppose someone set it up?" Fan Mu laughed.

"Don't talk nonsense. We just want to hear what kind of reasonable explanation you have." He did not forget Fan Mu, who was with Ling Yun, trying to humiliate him in public. However, this time he did not come for Ling Yun, but probably for the sake of tripping over Murong Yi, who was as powerful as he was.

"Hehe, I wonder who this person is, to be able to speak randomly in this court and do whatever you want. Men, please invite this man who defies the rules of the court out." Fan Mu was slightly moved, but his calm voice was laced with killing intent, but in the end he was stopped by the Eastern Ping King.

"Alright, you can continue. Why did you say that someone framed General Murong? I really want to hear your opinion." King Dongping dryly laughed, but no trace of expectation could be heard.

There are a lot of loopholes, I won't go into detail here. Let me give you an example, we all know that General Murong is a Gold-rank Jade Cultivator, killing a person can be said to be as easy as a light drizzle, why did he need to leave behind evidence with his heirloom sword? Could it be that he has a habit of using his own sword to kill people, of course it's impossible.

"Oh? "This conclusion is a little interesting. Then, what about after that, do you have any substantial evidence?" King Dongping seemed to enjoy hearing Fan Mu's explanation, but he did not forget to ask Fan Mu about it.

"Please listen to me, witness." As Fan Mu gave the order, a young and beautiful woman walked into the hall.

"Madam Wang, can you tell us a little about what you saw and heard that night?" Fan Mu asked politely, making the beautiful woman feel slightly embarrassed.

"Hmm, my lords, please listen to me, on the night of the incident, I saw a man with a head covering, wearing very tight clothes, walk out of General Murong's room towards the house of concubine, and I was just on the way to bring tea to you, so I had the chance to pass him by, and the sword on his waist is a Seven Star Treasure Sword, so in the beginning of my confession, I probably took him for General Murong." The words of the young beautiful woman didn't hesitate at all. It gave everyone present the feeling that it was happening right in front of their eyes.
