You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?
Chapter 497 497: 61. He is Xiahou Shou.

The prince who reincarnated as a traitor to the Human Clan, oppressing the descendants of the Human Ancestor... Once this news spreads, it will trigger a surge of public resentment, which will inevitably lead to the weakening of the nation's luck that protects the Seventeenth Prince!

Moreover, the Seventeenth Prince's rash attempt to imprison the descendant of the Human Ancestor not only failed but the Ancestor Hall didn't even lend a hand, which is essentially admitting guilt!

"If public resentment boils over, the protection of our nation's luck might even be suppressed or significantly retracted. By that time, even if we kill the Seventeenth Prince, the cost won't be so great..."

At this moment, the Twelfth Prince had already deduced a series of plans that would follow.

"So it turns out... the Seventeenth Prince is the Human Clan traitor?"

The woman in the red robe and bald head looked at Lin Yue enveloped in a clear light above her and sneered, "I wondered why Your Highness was constantly targeting us, the descendants of the Human Ancestor. Could it be a case of the thief crying 'stop thief'?"

She glanced at the Hall Masters of the Ancestor Hall and said, "Now, the esteemed Hall Masters... should it be us who are under surveillance, or the Seventeenth Prince?"

All the Hall Masters furrowed their brows and remained silent.

"It seems that even the Main Hall Master didn't know about Your Highness's identity, did he?" the woman in the red robe and bald head mocked. "Otherwise, would the Main Hall Master really have taken His Highness as a direct disciple?"

At that moment, a divine thought pierced through and entered Lin Yue's mind.

"No need."

Lin Yue responded with a divine thought and then looked down at the woman in the red robe and bald head, speaking indifferently, "The Twelfth Prince slanders me as the Human Clan traitor, and you all just climb up the bandwagon? How hasty... How absurd..."

In an instant, Water and Fire collided within him, Wind permeated his entire body, and Earth Phase suppressed.

"Boom!"

A terrifying oppression suddenly burst forth, an immense force erupting like a volcano, raging out like a hurricane, causing tremors in everyone's hearts.

Streams of clear light were forced back several feet, barely managing to hinder him.

"Useless."

The woman in the red robe and bald head clasped her hand, and more hazy clear light descended from the sky, attempting to continue entangling Lin Yue.

But at that moment—

An invisible oppression suddenly descended, the gaze of a supreme existence, making both Saints and ordinary Cultivators alike feel as if they were being watched by the sky itself, diminutive and insignificant.

Everyone instinctively looked up into the sky.

Above the vast heavens, a giant crack had appeared—a colossal eye was looking down coldly and mercilessly upon the Human World.

"Hmm? The Eye of Heaven?"

"The Eye of Heaven!"

"What is happening..."

"Could it be..."

At this moment, the Great Cultivators all noticed the Eye of Heaven above the firmament.

At the same time, a golden scroll had already appeared in Lin Yue's hand!

"An Imperial Decree? How can this be?!"

The Twelfth Prince felt something and turned his head, his pupils suddenly constricting.

At that moment, the gigantic Eye of Heaven in the sky above blinked, and a stream of golden light fell from the sky, instantly entering Lin Yue's body.

"It has come..."

In an instant, the laws and logic above all things in heaven and earth began to converge and surge, endlessly pouring into Lin Yue's body.

His aura crazily ascended at this moment.

"Boom!"

The pervasive clear light suddenly exploded and dissipated; Lin Yue's figure vanished.

In the blink of an eye, a flash of blade light streaked by, and Lin Yue had already appeared behind the woman in the red robe and bald head.

Simultaneously, he held the woman's head in his hand, speaking lightly, "You, an outsider, dared to slander me. Considering that you are a descendant of the Human Ancestor, your death penalty is spared. However, you cannot escape your sins alive."
