"Look, Lin Xiao and Prince Dongfang Xuanyuan went to the imperial capital."
"With such a talented person, I don't know how His Majesty Baili Xi will judge him."
Everyone was talking a lot, feeling inexplicably melancholy. Everyone wanted to follow Lin Xiao and the others to the imperial capital. Under such important events, it seemed that this year's Ranking Competition had become eclipsed.
"Come on, let's go take a look too."
In the camp, the major princes looked at each other, rose into the sky one after another, and disappeared into the sky.
"Second brother, don't worry, third sister will definitely win the championship this time and will be waiting for your return on the championship stage."
Turning her head, Lin Rou looked resolutely, rushed into the starlight illusion world without looking back, and took the lead in starting the assessment.
Although the talented disciples of this year's Ranking Competition are not as star-studded as the previous one, there are still many top talents. Therefore, the difficulty of the assessment in Starlight Illusion World is not weaker than that of the previous one. The first level of assessment is still attack power and strength.
, what appeared in front of everyone were stars blocking the way, and the second level of assessment was star cutting, which had great requirements on the warrior's reaction, speed, and strength. As for the third level, it was Star Jumping.
Abyss, what appears in front of everyone is a star abyss hundreds of meters wide and bottomless. Huge suction forces are constantly emitted from the bottom of the star abyss. It is possible to finally jump over the star abyss and climb onto the wall of Xingxiu City.
They are all the best among them.
brush, brush, brush
Lin Rou moved forward quickly in the starlight illusion world, almost without stopping. No level could stop her for even a moment. In the blink of an eye, she jumped onto the high wall of Star City, and behind her, a large number of warriors fell into each layer.
In the assessment, they were constantly eliminated, and only a few geniuses who had also reached the peak of the late Mortal Realm followed Lin Rou and jumped onto the city wall. Looking at Lin Rou, her eyes were filled with surprise and shock.
"So strong, who is this girl from Xuanyi County?"
"It's unbelievable. It's so fast. It's so much faster than the senior brother in our county."
"I heard that her name is Lin Rou. She is the number one genius in the Xuanyi County Genius Training Camp, and she is also the sister of Lin Xiao, the champion of the last Billboard Competition."
"What, Lin Xiao's sister, no wonder..."
Everyone was talking a lot and were shocked.
"With Lin Rou's strength, it is not a problem to get into the top three in this competition. She is even very promising to win the championship. I just don't know what will happen to Lin Xiao." Deputy camp leader Yuan Zhishi spoke silently, looking at the imperial capital.
is full of worries.
Imperial Capital.
咻咻
Two streams of light broke through the sky and fell outside the imperial capital.
The Imperial Capital of the Wuling Empire is the most sacred place in the Wuling Empire. No one here is allowed to fly in the air, but can only walk on the streets. Of course, flying close to the ground is also allowed.
However, there are some exceptions, that is, the kings of the life and death realm. After reaching the life and death realm, they can break all rules and be unrestrained. Lin Xiao and Dongfang Xuanyuan are naturally not included.
As soon as the two entered the imperial capital, they attracted the attention of many people around them. It is true that Lin Xiao is too famous now. Almost everyone in the entire Wuling Empire knows that behind Lin Xiao, Yuchi Zhan and other counties
Wang also followed closely, and even several strong men such as Chen Xun from Wuwei County also followed closely.
Da da
Not long after everyone headed to the imperial palace in the inner city of the imperial capital, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded, and magnificent carriages appeared in front of everyone.
"Your Majesty has an order to announce that Prince Xuanyuan of the East, Lin Xiao, the other princes of other counties and the powerful men of Wuwei County will enter the palace with the car." The leading general said in a loud voice.
Lin Xiao and Dongfang Xuanyuan looked at each other and walked straight into a carriage, and the princes of the major counties also walked into it one after another.
The horses' hooves rumbled as they galloped towards the palace.
"Lin Xiao, are you afraid?" Dongfang Xuanyuan chuckled in the carriage.
"With a clear conscience," Lin Xiao said calmly.
Dongfang Xuanyuan was startled, then burst into laughter with a heroic expression: "You have a clear conscience. Today you and I will see together how His Majesty Bailixi will judge you and me."
"I also want to see His Majesty Bailixi's decision. I hope he will not make a regretful decision." Lin Xiao's tone was indifferent and his eyes were calm. It seemed that he did not take the next summons into consideration at all. For this reason, he had a trace of regret.
fluctuation.
Dongfang Xuanyuan was shocked. He could tell that Lin Xiao was not being alarmist or arrogant when he said this. Instead, he had a strong sense of self-confidence. He was so confident that he remained indifferent to the emperor's trial and watched with cold eyes. For the first time, Dongfang Xuanyuan felt that
Realizing that my understanding of Lin Xiao was so shallow, the vastness of his future was beyond my ability to fathom.
The carriage moved very fast. After half an hour, everyone finally arrived at the palace. Under the guidance of a guard, everyone entered the hall. After five years, Lin Xiao saw His Majesty Baili Xi again.
"Lin Xiao, we meet again."
His Majesty Baili Xi is high and exudes an aura that makes people look up to him. He is like an emperor in charge of the world. He has become the only core in this solemn hall and speaks majestically.
"Lin Xiao has met your Majesty." Lin Xiao saluted slightly. Around the hall, many strong men stood proudly, including some kings of the life and death realm. Among them were the Martial King Baili Zhan and Luo Shan Sect whom Lin Xiao had seen before.
Ancestor Luo Jingtian, Luo Batian also stood coldly next to Luo Jingtian. Those who can stand here are basically strong men at the peak of the late Guiyuan realm. In addition, the fourth prince Baili Xuan is also among the crowd.
The look he looked at seemed to be emotionless, but Lin Xiao keenly captured a hint of murderous intent and hatred.
In the main hall, all kinds of eyes were focused on him, including admiration, disdain, sneer, fear, and regret, all different.
Feeling the gazes of everyone, Lin Xiao did not panic at all, was very calm, and maintained great respect for His Majesty Baili Xi.
"I don't know why your Majesty summoned me and Prince Xuanyuan here." Lin Xiao said with respect in his tone, but he did not flinch.
"Bold, Lin Xiao, you have committed a heinous crime, yet you dare to be so arrogant and self-sufficient. You don't even know it, yet you don't kneel down and confess to me."
Someone in the main hall suddenly shouted angrily, with a sharp tone.
Lin Xiao stood still proudly, and when he looked around, he saw an old man wearing a black robe. His aura was quite terrifying. He was not inferior to the original old man of the Demon. He was obviously a peak powerhouse in the late stage of the Guiyuan Realm.
However, Lin Xiao didn't know him.
"I don't know who you are, so why am I, Lin Xiao, guilty of this?" Lin Xiao looked at the other party and said lightly: "In addition, His Majesty didn't even say a word, who are you to dare to be so arrogant in front of His Majesty? Could it be that you are the one doing this?
The Lord of the Empire cannot succeed."
"You..." the old man said in shame and anger, just about to say something else.
"That's enough." Bailixi's indifferent voice came, and the old man shut his mouth immediately. Bailixi looked at Lin Xiao and said lightly: "Lin Xiao, you are extraordinary in strength and talent. Five years ago, you were my martial arts master.
The champion of the Spiritual Empire Ranking Competition is the pillar of the empire. However, many forces in the empire have jointly submitted a petition saying that you have violated the laws of the empire and acted wantonly, demanding that you be severely punished. What do you have to say."
"I would like to ask Your Majesty, what reckless things have I, Lin Xiao, done? I have never heard of it myself." Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Commander Ye Linshan, it was you who submitted this joint request to me, so you, Lin Xiao and Duke Dongfang Xuanyuan will confront each other." Baili Xi looked at the old man in black robe aside with an indifferent gaze.
The old man in black robe said respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty."
After saying that, the old man turned around, stared at Lin Xiao with a pair of cold eyes, and sneered: "Lin Xiao, you are bold and arrogant. Two months ago, you were arrogant and domineering in Wuwei County. You killed many powerful people in Wuwei County and the prince's palace. You even killed many powerful people in Wuwei County.
Killing the king of Tianchen County caused chaos in Wuwei County. This is the first crime. Secondly, because you killed many strong men in Wuwei County, you triggered a beast attack, which caused heavy casualties to the people of Wuwei County and almost destroyed the city. This is the second crime.
;Thirdly, you wantonly killed the empire's geniuses in Wuwei County. Duan Tianqiu was the fifth-ranked genius in the last empire rankings. He had some hope of entering the realm of life and death in the future and fighting monsters for the empire, but you put him
Kill him. Such cruel behavior is extremely heinous. How can you tolerate Lin Xiao? Do you know the crime?"
"It's extremely ridiculous." Lin Xiao's eyes suddenly became sharp and he said calmly: "Commander Ye Linshan, right? As the commander of the empire, how can you be so indifferent to right and wrong? First, think about Prince Tianchen over and over again.
He wanted to kill me, and he even wanted to kill many powerful people in Xuanyi County in the square town that day. As a member of Xuanyi County, I, Lin Xiao, naturally wanted to fight back. Is this wrong? Secondly, the disaster of the beast tide is to destroy Tianchen’s greed.
Insufficient, sending warriors to alarm the Demon King's phantom deep in the Broken Tooth Mountain Range, what does it have to do with me? If I and the other princes had not fought against the Demon King's phantom and repelled the beast tide, I am afraid that Wuwei County would have been destroyed long ago, and I
Not only did Lin Xiao have no faults, he even had merits; as for third, Duan Tianqiu had done harm to me several times. He destroyed the baptism in the Shenyuan Pond back then, and he was the first to attack me before. I only fought back, but his skills were inferior to others.
That's all. Which law in the empire stipulates that warriors can only be beaten without fighting back when attacked. If there is such a rule, I, Lin Xiao, will be willing to be punished. If not, I would like to ask Commander Ye Linshan to understand the situation at that time and at least conduct an on-site inspection.
Come and convict me, Lin Xiao, later."
Lin Xiao refuted them one by one and argued with reason.
"Smooth tongue." Ye Linshan looked ugly. This time he came forward not because of any grudge between him and Lin Xiao, but because of the promotion of certain forces. But now after seeing Lin Xiao's attitude, Ye Linshan felt like
Get really angry.
In his opinion, as an elder and the commander of the empire, Lin Xiao must obey him obediently and plead guilty as he said. Unexpectedly, Lin Xiao would be so arrogant and not take him seriously at all, which made him heartbroken.
Extremely angry, of course Ye Linshan never imagined that he was actually the one who wanted Lin Xiao's life first.
