As she spoke, she hurriedly contacted Bai Jie.

On the flying boat, everyone stared at the screen, dumbfounded by what they saw, so shocked they couldn’t speak.

Those dozen families involved numbered over a hundred thousand people, and they were seized under the charges of treason and rebellion!

It was like a thunderbolt out of the blue, rendering these people’s minds blank.

Especially Bai Qing, Wangchuan Zhudao, and others, their bodies slightly trembling, revealing the shock in their hearts, unsure whether it was anger or fear.

But most people distanced themselves proactively from Bai Qing and those whose families were seized.

At this moment, the charming Bai Qing and others were akin to a heap of dung in winter, nobody wanted to approach, let alone touch.

Whoever dared to claim association with them would be courting death, wouldn’t they?

Li Daoming pointed at Lin Xing: "Right, what did you ask me before?

Did I forget about you, leaving you hanging for ten hours? No, no, it’s because I value you so much that I arranged everything before meeting you to see your current faces."

Lin Xing’s face was pale, unable to utter a word, knowing well that none in those besieged families were wrongly accused.

Bai Qing’s face turned white with anger, questioning: "Why? On what grounds! We are clear and innocent, always acting with a clear conscience.

Yes, the Li Family of Celestial is powerful, an entity we dare not provoke, but are we mere pawns you can crush at will without distinguishing right from wrong?

If there’s no evidence, we’ll never accept this fate!"

Her expression was one of grievance, yet her mind had turned countless times, pondering how to break the deadlock.

If it’s only probing, then they must feign innocence, or they’d definitely meet a disastrous end.

If Li Daoming really possesses solid evidence, then...

Thinking of the antimatter weapons in her Dantian, ready to explode at any moment, she couldn’t help but harbor thoughts of mutual destruction.

Ha, in such a death crisis, who cares about missions afterward!

Li Daoming sat on the throne, sighing: "I didn’t expect Yellow Springs Star, a mere speck of dust, to harbor so many disloyal people, including a Celestial Immortal.

Can’t Earth Civilization offer what those alien races do?

Ultimately, you’re just too greedy, wanting more and better without evaluating your own worth, without weighing if you have the capital for such ambition.

Don’t bother pretending anymore; whether evidence is in hand should be clear from the precision of the seizures.

No matter how well-disguised, you are double-faced, only today you got exposed."

Bai Qing, Wangchuan Zhudao, Lin Xing, and others were surrounded, emanating a determined aura, yet how laughable they appeared.

"Why bother." Bai Qing sighed too, "Had you pretended ignorance or not exposed us back then, you wouldn’t be accompanying us."

The crowd panicked, immediately flying away in retreat.

These desperados must have some means of mutual destruction hidden, huh!

Clap! Clap! Clap!

A round of applause sounded, and Wang Xuan stepped forward, with his appearance, it seemed like time slowed for everyone.

"Unexpectedly, villains like you, destined for the pillar of shame, also face death unflinchingly and contemplate thoroughly without begging or surrendering.

Unfortunately, the more you do that, the more laughable you become.

Having done disgusting deeds, don’t face me as a righteous person.

No sense of personal reckoning? Yellow Springs Star is just a snowball in a giant creature’s fight, you still exist merely because the creature shelters it, unwilling for it to shatter.

If angered, it will die without a grave.

And what will the ice shards on the snowball face?"

Along with Wang Xuan’s words, an intention akin to a tsunami rushed towards Bai Qing and others; with a single thought, the intention reached them.

In Bai Qing and others’ hearts, a golden Divine Sword suddenly appeared, dropping instantly to sever their innermost rebellious will.

Suddenly, they didn’t want to resist, didn’t want to die just like that, the notion of rebellion couldn’t arise in their hearts.

And their sober minds told them that rationally analyzing, they should resist because what they’ve done would make life worse than death in the future.

But strangely, they just lacked that rebellious thought, seemingly the decisive will flew away suddenly.

Even if it appeared, it would be slashed by the golden Divine Sword.

"You say, do you deserve to die?" Wang Xuan twirled a golden Long Sword between his fingers.

The cultivation of the Primordial Spirit Sword Embryo to a level beyond the Endless Sword results in the Sword of Will, a bizarre and mighty realm.

Congealing will into a sword, it can cut down others’ will, erase memories. Once this sword appears, it easily changes others’ personalities, even erasing all memories.

Li Daoming raised his eyebrows, looked at Bai Qing and others, and said: "These people deserve death, they’re just backstabbing dogs."

Xing Lin and others nodded quickly: "Indeed, these people should die, they really should!"

At times like this, stance is crucial; once your position is skewed, the consequences are beyond their endurance.

Wang Xuan reached out a finger, and Wangchuan Zhudao’s handsome face turned terrified, he realized he couldn’t move, and his life force was draining away.

Wide-eyed, he watched as his Essence Qi got devoured, life force rapidly leaked, visibly turning his black hair white.

A few breaths later, an old man hunched and white-haired, wholly unrecognizable as the once high-spirited Wangchuan Zhudao, the Wangchuan Clan’s prodigy.

"What’s happening to my body?! What have you done?" Wangchuan Zhudao’s aged voice cried hysterically, his realm tumbling as life force waned, like the decline of realm as vitality dried with passing years.

From Earth Immortal to Human Immortal, then to Body Refining Realm, until Wangchuan Zhudao’s skin began to peel, becoming like withered bark.

Everyone watched as a breeze blew him into dust, leaving not even his ashes.

Wang Xuan raised an eyebrow, approached Bai Qing, and everyone listened to the rhythm of his footsteps, their hearts beating in sync.

"Tell me everything you know." Wang Xuan stroked Bai Qing’s azure hair, visibly turning white as snow.

At this moment, in Bai Qing’s eyes, Wang Xuan’s smiling face appeared more demonic than a demon.

This man terrifies her, for something worse than death is life being worse than death!

If Wang Xuan made her revert to a mortal, turned into an ugly old woman, living with a decaying body, enduring worldly suffering and ugliness, that she absolutely couldn’t accept.

A beauty turning into white-haired, how cruel and terrifying.

"Could you, could you tell us how we were exposed? How did you find the evidence?" Bai Qing asked desperately, grip turning pale.

Li Daoming stood up: "Let me answer you.

Beforehand, there wasn’t evidence, no clues, Brother Wang told me you were rebels of Yellow Springs Star, so I acted."

Evidence? They didn’t have evidence initially; anything found came after besieging those families.

"No need for evidence?" Bai Qing felt it was laughable, with no evidence proving they might be rebels, yet the opposition acted.

And the basis was merely a sentence from the Immortal Martial Taoist.

"Is evidence needed?" Wang Xuan’s steady voice coldly responded.

No matter who he identifies today, irrespective of their guilt or innocence, as long as they’re on his designated list, they’ll be captured.

Because each of his words weighs beyond gold; a single word signifies the life of an Earth Immortal; few could bear that weight.

Moreover, could Wang Xuan be wrong?

Bai Qing smiled bitterly, tears breaking into laughter.

Turns out, their existence was so insignificant, their proud cultivation so vulnerable.

...

An hour later, Wang Xuan left with an antimatter weapon together with Li Daoming.

While the commotion at Yellow Springs Star had just begun, at Yellow Springs Palace, the major family members were in front of cameras of top media, starting their trial.

Moreover, execution followed right after the trial.

The ruthless, cold-blooded methods and firm stance in purging rebels made Yellow Springs Star straighten up.

"When people lose reverence, they expand limitlessly, easily stumbling, or else shattering completely." Yellow Springs Star once more experienced its smallness.

What Wang Xuan anticipated didn’t happen; no True Immortal-level alien race targeted him, let alone made an appearance.

Leaving him somewhat disappointed, he hoped for some excitement before marriage, but those alien races seemed to have chickened out.

"I’ll certainly be present at your wedding." Li Daoming personally escorted him.

"Consider it settled then."

Wang Xuan flew up, transforming into a streak of light, instantly breaking from Yellow Springs Star’s gravity, darting into space, heading to the Realm Gate.
