long chen’s gaze was as sharp as a blade as he swept it over the crowd. a few people who had guilty consciences didn’t dare to look at him directly.
the execution of those traitors shocked them, especially those who had thought that long chen would be swayed by public opinion and unable to do anything to them.
long chen coldly said, “i know there are more of you who have been bought by the other races. you’re absolutely right. every person has the right to make their own choices in life, as everyone is pursuing a better life for themselves. however, your freedom to choose cannot be above other people’s pain and suffering. selling out other people’s lives as gambling chips for profit; killing people and taking their fortune—did you really think that joining the other races would exempt you from all laws and justice? keep dreaming. since you’ve already done what you’ve done, there’s nothing left to say. i’ll just warn you that such deeds always exact a bloody price.”
long chen’s words were icy and merciless, akin to a judge’s verdict. hearing this, the traitors among the crowd felt a cold chill.
“you traitors of the human race, just wait for your trials. the high firmament academy will create an alliance among the major sects to systematically root out those who betray our kind. everyone, keep an eye on each other. i believe that the traitors are a minority, and anyone who dares to run will be swiftly beset by attacks from all sides,” shouted long chen.
numerous experts applauded upon hearing this announcement. after all, traitors were the most hateful existence in any era. they were arrogant when their backings came in full force, causing harm to their own side by spreading rumors to manipulate public sentiment.
however, some people didn’t dare to rashly confront them because they didn’t know the future fate of the world. they were wary of acting impulsively, fearing they could become the next target. however, hearing that those traitors would be rooted out and dealt with, some people clapped so loudly that their hands hurt.
some individuals directly began pointing fingers at some groups, accusing the latter as traitors and dogs of the other races. some were even ready to unsheathe their blades and take direct action against them.
however, long chen had made it clear that these traitors would undergo an investigation and trial, preventing anyone from taking revenge independently. after all, they also feared the potential for false accusations driven by personal grievances.
the accused individuals lowered their heads, not daring to say a word. they directly gave up resisting, kneeling remorsefully.
for him to help them was a favor, not duty. hence, questioning his actions was truly spitting on his kindness. upon reflection, they had the urge to dig a hole for themselves.
as a result, people's resentment toward the palace master waned, replaced by a deep sense of guilt.
“dean long chen, we were indeed foolish. please help us apologize to the palace master later,” said an elder.
long chen shook his head. “there is no need for an apology. i believe the palace master has seen through the situation long ago, which is why he departed without saying much."
however, this response only intensified their feelings of guilt, leaving them at a loss for words.
“it seems that the humanless world will be silent for some time, so everyone can focus on cultivation. we will deal with the traitors. even if it’s just killing the chicken to warn the monkeys, it is still meaningful. some individuals need to learn the repercussions of their actions and what it means to be a human." after uttering these words, long chen departed with his people.
long chen had no need to concern himself with the fate of the traitors, as they would undoubtedly be handed over to the high firmament academy. furthermore, their sentencing would not be determined solely by the academy, but by virtuous experts of esteemed reputation chosen by various factions.
having just fought an intense battle, long chen and the others were exhausted. the confrontation with the red-haired monster, in particular, had been extremely taxing, resulting in injuries to their souls. if they didn’t rest, these injuries would likely become irreparable wounds.
they returned to the academy with weariness in every step. their previous excitement had dissipated, crushed under the overwhelming might of the red-haired monster. it had dealt a significant blow to the morale of the dragonblood legion.
however, upon their return, they saw someone running out to speak to them.
“dean long chen, we’ve just received word. you must hurry back to the main academy in the darklight heaven.”
“did something happen in the main academy?” long chen inquired, a sense of shock evident in his voice.
