Chapter 383: Chapter 384 Going to the Execution Ground

"Buzz!" Deputy Commander Zhou’s anger shot through the roof, his face turned ashen as he shouted, "Nonsense! Guards, take this little beast away and lock him up in the prison immediately, and treat him with our harshest methods!"

"Yes, sir!" The inspection team took their orders.

"Great Commander Ye!"

"Great Commander Ye, please don’t go!"

"Deputy Commander Zhou, I beg you, please spare Great Commander Ye. He has been wronged!" all the soldiers pleaded tearfully.

"Take him away!" Deputy Commander Zhou waved his hand arrogantly.

Ye Wudao, bound all over, said calmly, "Wait for my return!"

...

Xuanwu Army, Prison.

This was a fortress of steel, impregnable and heavily guarded by 3,000 elite soldiers of the Xuanwu Army, where not even a fly could enter.

As Ye Wudao was imprisoned, rumors and gossip erupted fiercely.

"Have you heard? The new commander of defense sector 14 has been thrown in?"

"It’s said that he killed Zhou, the son of Deputy Commander Zhou’s family, and executed General Wei Long on his own, which enraged Deputy Commander Zhou!"

"Tsk, tsk, offending Deputy Commander Zhou, he really has a death wish!"

"This guy is ruthless!"

"But what’s more ruthless came later. It’s rumored that he alone defeated 30,000 enemies outside the domain, making the Poluo Nation suffer a crushing defeat. Even the seventh prince of Poluo Nation was killed by him!"

"How is that possible? I think it’s pure nonsense, a rumor!"

As various rumors spread, they quickly circulated throughout the entire Xuanwu Army.

Inside the prison.

Ye Wudao was locked in a cell, shackled all over, his expression very calm.

In the adjoining cell was Fang Wu, who said with a face full of grief, "Great Commander Ye, our defense sector 14 has brought you trouble..."

Ye Wudao replied with a slight smile, "I’m fine!"

Just then, a jailer carried a bowl of foul-smelling food and threw it in front of Ye Wudao, "Mealtime!"

"How dare you bring food that even dogs would refuse to Great Commander Ye? This is an insult to a hero!" Fang Wu burst into rage.

"A hero?" The jailer said with a sarcastic look, "No matter how big you are outside, in this place, dragons coil for me, tigers lie down for me! If you dare make me unhappy, I can turn a hero into a bear in minutes!"

"You, you, you!" Fang Wu’s face turned livid with fury.

"Hey, kid, are you deaf? This is a gourmet meal graciously given by Deputy Commander Zhou himself, aren’t you going to eat it?" The jailer urged.

Ye Wudao said indifferently, "Leave it here for old Zhou to have when he goes to hell; I’m afraid he won’t get to eat down there!"

"How dare you! You dare to insult Deputy Commander Zhou?" The jailer flew into a rage and immediately lifted his iron whip to strike.

Ye Wudao’s gaze flashed with a cold light, as terrifying as an Asura from hell!

Thump, thump...

The jailer was so frightened by Ye Wudao’s gaze that he kept stepping back, trembling all over.

"What a terrifying gaze, this kid is not someone I should provoke!" The jailer gave up the thought of beating him.

"Get lost!" Ye Wudao commanded.

"Hmph! Brat, you’re still so arrogant even when death approaches. In three days, you will be led to the execution ground!" After saying this, the jailer left with a cold laugh.

Hearing this horrifying news, Fang Wu, with tears streaming down his face, said, "Great Commander Ye, it’s, it’s our fault that you ended up like this!"

"Heh, Fang Wu, we will be fine, trust me," Ye Wudao said with a light smile.

Fang Wu was stunned, Ye Wudao was about to be taken to the execution ground in three days, yet how could he remain so calm?

Time flew, and a day passed.

Deputy Commander’s Office.

Zhou Tie reclined lazily on a soft genuine leather sofa, his legs propped up on the office desk. A pretty secretary was at his side, holding a cup of hot tea, and said coyly, "Deputy Commander Zhou, please have some tea!"

"Mm." Zhou Tie sipped casually and frowned, "Someone come here!"

Soon, a confidant arrived.

"Has that Ye curs shown any signs of breaking down in prison?"

"Replying to Deputy Commander Zhou, Ye Wudao has been very calm in prison, not only showing no fear but smiling and talking!" the confidant answered.

What?

Deputy Commander Zhou was stunned.

"He doesn’t act at all like he’s in prison!" the confidant continued.

"Humph! That Ye brat really knows how to keep his cool! Let him strut around for two more days; we’ll see if he can stay this composed when he’s on his way to the execution ground!" Zhou Tie sneered, then wrapped his arms around the pretty secretary beside him.

"Oh, Deputy Commander Zhou, there are others here..." the secretary blushingly protested.

Understanding the hint, the confidant tactfully left the office, and before long, the room was filled with the sounds of intimacy.

...

Time flew by.

Three days later.

Three thousand warriors from the North King’s Palace set out for North Liang.

"How much longer until we reach North Liang?" Liu Kuangsheng asked.

"Replying to Lord Liu, with our current speed, we only need tonight to arrive in North Liang!" a North Liang warrior answered.

"Good, maintain this speed!" Liu Kuangsheng nodded.

Just then, an urgent voice came through.

"Lord Liu, this is bad, really bad!" A scout came forward, his face filled with tension.

"What happened?" Liu Kuangsheng demanded.

"Our young master has been imprisoned in the Xuanwu Army’s prison!" the scout said, trembling.

Boom!

Complete silence fell over the North King’s Palace!

Then, as if from nowhere, an angry voice burst forth, shattering the calm!

"The Xuanwu Army dares to capture our young master?"

"Courting death!"

Liu Kuangsheng flew into a rage, "All troops attack, rescue the young master! If they dare harm a single hair on the young master’s head, flatten the Xuanwu Army!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!" Three thousand warriors from the North King’s Palace burned with rage.

...

The scene shifts.

Xuanwu Prison.

Ye Wudao was meditating with his eyes closed.

Suddenly, hundreds of prison guards arrived, fully armed!

"By order of Vice Commander Zhou! Immediately take the criminals Ye Wudao and Fang Wu to the execution ground and behead them on the spot!" a voice commanded.

"It’s over, we’re doomed!" Fang Wu’s face was the picture of despair.

Ye Wudao slowly opened his eyes and said with an unconcerned air, "Let’s go."

Soon, hundreds of prison guards escorted Ye Wudao and Fang to the execution ground.

Execution ground.

Tens of thousands of soldiers from the Xuanwu Army were watching.

Sitting in the main seat was none other than the Vice Commander, Zhou Tie!

"Look, the criminals are being escorted over!"

"That’s the new leader of defense sector 14, Ye Wudao, so young! He looks to be only in his twenties!"

"So young, he would definitely have become the Great Commander, or even the Commander himself! What a bright future he had!"

"Alas, what a pity, having offended Vice Commander Zhou!" Many soldiers at the execution ground murmured in both pity and mockery.

"Hmph! What’s there to pity? Daring to kill Master Zhou’s son and carrying out an execution on his own, each offense is enough to behead him ten times over!"

"He deserves death and more!"

Hundreds of prison guards brought Ye Wudao and Fang Wu before Zhou Tie.

"Reporting to Vice Commander Zhou, the prisoners are here!"

Zhou Tie nodded and looked at the inspectors beside him.

The inspectors immediately stood up and took out a piece of paper, reading the charges aloud; "Prisoner Ye Wudao, leader of defense sector 14! Charge one; when Master Zhou went to deliver supplies, Ye Wudao, driven by insatiable greed, blatantly demanded favors, and when rebuked by Master Zhou, he brutally murdered him on the spot!"

"Charge two; out of jealousy for talent and ability, Ye Wudao brutally killed General Wei Long to obtain the Commander’s Seal!"

"According to the Xuanwu Army’s laws, the two crimes committed by Ye Wudao are both capital offenses deserving of the ultimate punishment!" the inspectors proclaimed Ye Wudao’s charges.

All the soldiers present cursed loudly, "Ye Wudao, you despicable and shameless scoundrel!"

"You deserve death a thousand times over!"

Fang Wu, bound tightly, veins bulging on his neck, shouted, "You, you’re twisting the truth, fabricating lies! Lord Ye is innocent, he’s a hero!"

Bang!

Vice Commander Zhou slammed his hand on the table in anger, bellowing, "We have both the evidence and witnesses, and yet you still dare to argue!"

Saying this, Zhou strolled over to Ye Wudao, looking down on him like a victor, "Ye you little beast, your three days are up! You’ve been brought to the execution ground, ready for beheading! And I’m still living well!"

"Is that so?" Ye Wudao’s face remained calm, the corner of his mouth even held a hint of scorn.

Zhou Tie detested Ye Wudao’s expression, as if it was not Ye Wudao who was about to receive the ultimate punishment, but himself!

Hmph, pretending to the very end!

"Son, your father is about to avenge you, watch carefully from heaven!" Having said this, Zhou Tie waved his hand fiercely, "Carry out the punishment!"

An executioner, with a broad back, a face full of flesh, and a hand wielding an executioner’s blade, swung down towards Ye Wudao’s head.

In that instant, a voice like thunder exploded across the execution ground; "Whoever dares harm a single hair on the young master will be killed without mercy!"
