Chapter 832: 397: Damn Fu Lingxi! Clash of Kings!_3

Assassinating Viscount Tuli Yang so publicly was already the lesser of the crimes.

Greater crimes included subverting the tradition of Yin and Yang, attempting to elevate a woman to power. Then there was the use of Sky-shattering Thunder, damaging Sky Harmony, defying the Dragon Power, and so on and so forth!

In short, in this sacrificial scripture, Prince Zhi Li listed thirteen grave sins committed by Suo Lun.

Every single one of these sins was punishable by death, with no chance for forgiveness.

This time, it wasn’t Prince Zhi Li who was to annihilate Suo Lun, but heaven itself. Prince Zhi Li was merely the instrument of divine retribution.

Hence, the profound proposition: Suo Lun must be punished by heaven.

Although Zhi Li was just a prince, during this great sacrificial ceremony, all senior civil officials of the cabinet, all senior generals of the Commander-in-chief’s Office, the kingdom’s nineteen lords, all nobles above the rank of Viscount in the kingdom, they were all present!

Furthermore, Holy Priest Ge Li and Chief Judge Luo Ge also attended as the highest witnesses to the ceremony.

Zhi Li wasn’t the king, yet that day, all the ceremonial benefits were exactly the same as those of the king.

That is to say, in the eyes of the nobility and lords under the heaven and within the Dragon Temple, he, Zhi Li, was now indistinguishable from the king.

At that moment, all the unease in Zhi Li’s heart had completely vanished.

So what if Suo Lun had defeated Yan Mo? He himself controlled the entire Rage Wave Kingdom, with the absolute support of the Dragon Temple at his back.

To wage war against a mere lord with the might of an entire nation assured victory.

An army of eight hundred thousand to confront Suo Lun’s mere hundred thousand troops guaranteed victory!

The time, the location, the harmony of people, all were on Zhi Li’s side.

Man cannot challenge heaven, and at that time, Zhi Li was the heaven of the Rage Wave Kingdom!

Thus, Suo Lun’s death was certain!

...

After the sacrificial ceremony, Zhi Li personally reviewed Turing Duo’s Army of Vengeance from Luan Yang City at the palace square!

These ten thousand vengeful soldiers, each one bristling with murderous intent, with eyes filled with the flames of revenge.

Upon completing the review, Zhi Li personally bestowed the Army of Vengeance’s flag upon Turing Duo.

"Let heaven punish Suo Lun, to avenge our grievances!" bellowed Turing Duo at the top of his lungs, "Old master Tuli Ming, master Tuli Yang, watch over us from the heavens!"

"Let heaven punish Suo Lun, to avenge our grievances!" The ten thousand Army of Vengeance echoed in a resounding shout that shook the heavens.

The voice carried for miles.

Countless civilians from Wangcheng Zidu also cried out loudly, "Let heaven punish Suo Lun, let heaven punish Suo Lun!"

At first, only tens of thousands of civilians shouted, but later, other citizens of the royal city were deeply moved.

Eventually, hundreds of thousands of citizens joined in the outcry, chanting in unison, "Let heaven punish Suo Lun!"

After more than a dozen loud cries, the hundreds of thousands of soldiers stationed outside the royal city also echoed in unison, responding to the people’s call.

Over a million people together raised the shout: Let heaven punish Suo Lun!

Did they hate Suo Lun? No, they bore no personal animosity towards Suo Lun.

They were simply united in common hatred, swept away by a wave of justice.

"Let heaven punish Suo Lun!"

"Let heaven punish Suo Lun!"

The outcry of over a million people made the entire Wangcheng Zidu tremble.

Zhi Li turned and gazed toward the highest palace of the royal residence.

That was King Quo Bian’s palace, from which he had not stepped out for nearly two years.

Zhi Li sneered inwardly, "You old coot Quo Bian, do you hear this? This is the voice of the entire Wangcheng Zidu, the voice of the entire Rage Wave Kingdom. Suo Lun is finished, and you will be utterly crushed beneath my feet! Suo Lun, tremble, quiver, await your doom!"

Finally, Zhi Li drew his sword and declared with fervor, "The army will march to punish Suo Lun!"

After which, he mounted his warhorse!

Behind him, Deputy Commander Turing Tuo, the commanders of the three main corp, over a hundred senior military officers, and the nineteen lords all mounted their warhorses, following behind Zhi Li.

Prince Zhi Li’s Mansion’s ten thousand troops, followed by Turing Duo’s ten thousand Army of Vengeance, commenced their imposing departure from Wangcheng Zidu.

Meanwhile, outside the royal city, hundreds of thousands of soldiers were ready to march.

"May Your Highness Zhi Li return in triumphant victory!" countless civilians of the royal city knelt to bid the royal troops farewell.

At the command, hundreds of thousands of soldiers set off from the north, center, and south, advancing towards Tianshui City.

Thus began the ultimate battle between Zhi Li and Suo Lun!

The victor would ascend to the throne.

The defeated would fall into an abyss.
