Celestial Blade was already scared stiff, stammering for a long time without a coherent word.

"Useless! What's the point of having you if you can't even speak clearly!"

Qing Feng didn't bother with politeness, directly kicking Celestial Blade to the ground.

Qing Feng turned his head, coldly glaring at Hu Lili who was sitting on the ground, and said icily: "You, tell me what happened!"

Hu Lili hurriedly recounted the cause and effect to Qing Feng, naturally not daring to hide anything.

When Hu Lili finished speaking, Qing Feng's face darkened, and he turned to look at Celestial Blade.

Celestial Blade waved his hand and said, "It's not like that, it's not like that, Master Qing Feng, this brat is talking nonsense, he didn't speak the truth!"

Celestial Blade was already scared senseless, not knowing what he was saying.

"Master Qing Feng, I know I was wrong, spare my life, Master Qing Feng! I, I was wrong!" Celestial Blade was no longer struggling, kneeling on the ground.

He could flaunt his power in front of others, but in front of Qing Feng, he dared not step out of line, obedient as a little chick.

The other girls were also already stunned, standing there trembling, knowing they had provoked someone they shouldn't have.

Tian Tian looked at Ye Chen with eyes full of light, her small eyes sparkling.

Qing Feng looked at Ye Chen, seeking Ye Chen's opinion: "Brother Ye Chen, how do you suggest we handle this?"

"I don't mind, Brother Qing Feng, you handle it as you see fit."

Ye Chen didn't express his own requirements, which to Qing Feng, was undoubtedly the biggest demand.

However, Qing Feng was also a smart person, and after some thought, he knew how to handle it.

"Celestial Blade." Qing Feng said indifferently.

Celestial Blade immediately lifted his head, his facial muscles twitching, swallowing with difficulty.

"You can leave now. I hope you won't appear on the territory of S City again; otherwise, no mercy."

Celestial Blade collapsed on the ground, feeling as if all strength had been drained from his body.

"Brother Ye Chen, is this acceptable to you?"

Ye Chen looked at Tian Tian: "Tian Tian, is this okay?"

Tian Tian nodded obediently: "Brother Ye Chen, I listen to you entirely."

Ye Chen gave Celestial Blade a cold glance and said to Qing Feng: "Brother Qing Feng, I'll head inside first; we can chat later if time allows."

"Alright, Brother Ye Chen, take care of your matters first."

After speaking, Ye Chen walked straight toward the safe zone.

Watching Ye Chen depart, Qing Feng also let out a sigh of relief.

Celestial Blade said bitterly: "Brother Qing Feng, even if he really is from the Holy Guard Army, you're a Hall Master, you shouldn't be so afraid of him, or try to curry favor!"

Qing Feng glared at Celestial Blade: "What do you understand! Ye Chen's strength surpasses all the generals of the Eighteenth Military Department, and even if he had killed you just now, no one in the Law Enforcement Alliance would dare say anything. Consider yourself lucky to still be alive!"

"What! Even the generals of the Eighteenth Military Department are not as good as him!" Celestial Blade exclaimed in shock.

At the same time, he felt secretly relieved in his heart, grateful for escaping death.

"Thank you, Master Qing Feng."

Qing Feng didn't reply, turning around to head back.

Ye Chen had already arrived at Hao Sheng's small courtyard, but Hao Sheng was nowhere to be seen. Hong Ye and a few others sat there with worried expressions.

"Brother Hong Ye."

Hong Ye, who was deep in thought, raised his head, and upon seeing Ye Chen, a smile immediately appeared on his gloomy face: "Junior Brother Ye Chen, why have you come!"

Bai Ye and Hei Ye also lifted their heads, overjoyed to see Ye Chen.

"Junior Brother Ye Chen! Long time no see!"

"I've missed you dearly!"

Hei Ye said this while coming up to give Ye Chen a hug.

After not seeing each other for a long time, everyone felt some nostalgia, but mostly joy.

Not seeing Hao Sheng, Ye Chen asked in confusion: "Where is Master?"

Upon hearing Ye Chen's inquiry, Hong Ye sighed and looked down.

Bai Ye and Hei Ye also remained mostly silent.

Sensing something amiss among the three, Ye Chen knew something had happened: "What's wrong? Don't be silent like gourds, what's wrong with Master?"

The ever-impatient Bai Ye spoke: "Master, Master he, sigh! Not long ago, didn't Master go to the Southwest Forbidden Land with you? He took twelve generals, but only eight returned, losing four at once. Lord Celestial Net was furious and needed someone to be punished to appease the matter. Today, Sea Tyrant was ordered to punish Master publicly."

Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't sit still: "Why is it only our Master being punished, what about the others!"

"Sigh, isn't it because of that Sea Tyrant, who was always at odds with our Master and harbored some grudges. He whispered in Celestial Net's ear, claiming this was all Master's doing, so naturally, Sea Tyrant wouldn't let Master off, sigh!"

Hong Ye couldn't help but sigh.

"But Celestial Net is just the Vanguard Army's General Commander, and Sea Tyrant only the Mortal Army's leader. What gives him the right to punish our Master!"

"Junior Brother Ye Chen, the Supreme Lord has already been reassigned. Now, the head of the Law Enforcement Alliance Province is Celestial Net, and Sea Tyrant is the General Commander of the Vanguard Army, ranked above our Master."

Hong Ye explained.

Ye Chen's eyes glinted with anger, and he asked in a deep voice: "Where is the execution being held?"

"In the conference hall, all Section Chiefs and above are there, along with core members of the Eighteenth Military Department."

Ye Chen let out a cold snort, stood up, and headed towards the conference hall.

Seeing this, Bai Ye quickly rose to stop Ye Chen: "Junior Brother Ye Chen, Junior Brother Ye Chen! Don't be impulsive, that Sea Tyrant is already LV68, we can't take him on!"

"So what if he's LV68, whoever dares touch our Master, I'll kill them, even if it's Celestial Net!"

Ye Chen spoke with immense assertiveness.

"Brother Hong Ye?" Bai Ye looked toward Hong Ye, calling out repeatedly, hoping Hong Ye would stop Ye Chen.

Hong Ye sighed, got up, and walked over: "Forget it, you know Junior Brother Ye Chen's temper, let's follow him."

Hei Ye quickly contacted Black Tea and Bai Cha, asking them to gather in the hall.

Ye Chen arrived at the entrance of the hall, which was built with imposing grandeur, even more impressive than the Imperial Palace.

Many people stood inside the hall, all hall masters of the Vanguard Army and core members of various departments.

Hao Sheng knelt in the middle aisle; Sea Tyrant, dressed in a white judge's robe, stood behind a platform.

Sea Tyrant announced loudly: "Holy Guard Army's Hao Sheng, half a month ago, incited members of the Eleventh Military Department, without proper investigation or preparation, leading them to the Southwest Forbidden Land, resulting in the deaths of four generals, causing severe losses to our Law Enforcement Alliance. He deserves full punishment, but considering his merits within the Law Enforcement Alliance, he is spared from death, but not from severe punishment. After discussing with Lord Celestial Net, Hao Sheng is sentenced to the Thousand Knife Punishment!"

Hiss!

The audience gasped in disbelief.

The Thousand Knife Slash is a punishment where the offender, in full consciousness, endures a thousand cuts.

Its cruelty is comparable to the ancient torture of a thousand cuts.

Even Hao Sheng couldn't help but feel fear.

After Sea Tyrant finished, he looked at Hao Sheng with a sinister smile and thought to himself: "Hao Sheng, if I don't let you die today, I'll at least flay you. Aren't you amazing! Ah! You think you're so noble, you think you're so great, while we all deserv to die! Reporting on me! Today, I'll personally take revenge for the past!"
