Imperial Treasure

"Class A is to be moved to the southeastern direction of the Peach Blossom Source."

Those slower than him received the order to immediately split into three groups.

Only the strongest team changed direction...

And their Commander had already flown towards the southeast.

Of course, the Shadow Wall was still flying...

The rupture at the gate was a terrifying event, while in the center of Capital City, in one of the most iconic buildings, a symbol of power, of gathered strength, and the most forbidden place for outsiders. Even though outside it was a bustling downtown pedestrian street, a place where numerous world-famous buildings were clustered.

But now it was very quiet.

Mighty Military Generals patrolling the ground floor plaza would glance upwards from time to time.

They always felt something wasn’t quite right today, as if something had gone wrong somewhere.

"Could it be because all those officials have gone out?"

Just a quarter of an hour ago, many of the official forces in Capital City surged toward the Peach Blossom Source...

Or rather, midway changed direction because of the Shadow Wall...

But it couldn’t be denied, they indeed left.

So...

This 218-story building.

On the 99th floor.

A very serious and cautious trial was taking place.

The enormous courtroom spanning the entire floor had all three thousand seats filled, with three hundred prosecutors and inspectors representing various fields on both sides.

They all watched the once brilliant talent who was only recently officially captured and stripped of all glory.

Unfortunately, Chu Muzhe was not present. If he were, he would surely see this man who was often compared to him but always held the status of "predecessor." Now, he was standing modestly on the square trial platform, with shackles on both his hands and feet.

All around, numerous powerful figures locked onto the Qi Mechanism.

Above, the nation’s most rigorous judges presided.

"Bai Yuanxiu, do you plead guilty to the crimes listed above?"

Of over fifty charges, at least half warranted the death penalty.

Many of the crimes were so heinous that even execution by dismemberment would not appease public rage.

With such charges pronounced, and the evidence irrefutably conclusive, no one dared to speak in his favor...

The tide was irresistibly turning against him.

Bai Yuanxiu suddenly laughed.

"Plead guilty?"

He lifted his chin, "The so-called crime is only applicable to the weak. The strong are eternally blameless!"

Many years ago, the Bai Family was the foremost noble clan, and then, due to that year’s turmoil, they suddenly fell, losing everything, turning him from the most esteemed young master of the Bai Family into a joke.

He didn’t concede defeat, hence what followed.

As for now...

It was just because of that person.

Remembering how he had just issued an order that evening, only to see the official forces break in...

And the beauty leaning against the door with a slight smile.

Her smile was so beautiful, it bore some resemblance to that of the Sect Master.

He suddenly realized that person was not so arrogant as to ignore him, disdainful of taking his life, but had given him the most unacceptable way.

—The defeat the Bai Family suffered, he must suffer again!

Victory and defeat had never been certain.

"The defendant’s attitude is vile, this court will absolutely not consider leniency for his crimes... Dismissed!"

Just as he struck down the gavel.

He suddenly saw the cunning smile on Bai Yuanxiu’s face.

"My capture was indeed unexpected, but being captured by you was something I allowed; now that I have acquired what I wanted, then..."

Many people felt a sudden jolt in their hearts, then they saw the black-clad figures attached to the glass windows.

These black-clad figures forcibly broke in through the windows!

Visitors in the Cherry Snow Forest gradually sensed unease because many had seen the news. Although the Peach Blossom Source wasn’t too close, there were perhaps some similarities between the two locations, plus being outside rather than within the heavily guarded urban area, most people didn’t feel very safe, so some were already considering whether to leave.

But opening the Cherry Snow Forest wasn’t easy.

Should they just leave like this?

Maybe wait a little longer.

"The film crew over there hasn’t left yet! Hey, when will I be able to see Pu Qinghan act in person?"

Some people felt reluctant.

Within the film crew, however, one person felt anxious.

Beside them, Pu Qinghan’s manager hadn’t noticed Pu Qinghan’s earlier oddities, only that she had just seen the news, and she was somewhat influenced by Gong Jiu and these people, after all, working under them, associating the context, it was certain Gong Jiu and Flower Demon had gone, then the likelihood of that person going was even higher.
